of Parliament to take care of that poor.—(Cbt•eri.) If the rich protected the poor, he was certain the poor would take care of the rich.—(Cheers and groans.) All the conveniences and luxuries of life emanated from the labouring classes, and consequf-ntly they were en , itied to the care and protection of the Legislature. Ha e,.melucled by proposing Jeremiah Pileher, EN., as a ti t and proper person to represent the borough of South wark in the Commons House of Parliament. Mr. DARE seconded the nomination, but was totally inaudible amidst the unremitting din of cheers, groans, and ad sorts of noises, amongst which a somewhat musical but very loud bird-call was tolerably distinct. Mr. APaLEY PELLAT then came forward to propose Mr. Miali, whom (as well as we could guess) he described as a man whom he had known for many years as a frien !of civil and religious liberty. He would not supp , rt the interest of a class or of a Church supported by the State aud compulsory rates, but he would defend the common rights of humanity, and the truths of the Gasp-1, propagated without any corrupt or hired me dium. A gentleman beside him had admitted that Mr. Pitcher's committee had issued the placards which had been alludrd to by the proposer of Sir William Moles worth.—(Hisses and cheers.) Mr. Miall and his sup porters asked for no sympathy. They had been unjustly accused of follow ing out a common object with that gen tleman.—(Cheers and hisses.) They denied that aceu sation.—(Cheers.) They asked only for civil and reli gious liberty ; they asked nothing pecuniary or personal to themselves.—(Cheers and hisses.) With those senti ments he cordially supported the nomination of Mr. Miall. Mr. .1. M. WEBB came forward to second the nomina tion of that gentleman, and he did so with great pleasure. —(Cheers and hisses.) He respected Mr. Miall tor his consistent advocacy of all liberal principles— (Cheers) — for his advocacy of universal suffrage. He was also the friend of the poor man, for he was the advocate of free trade—(Cheers)—and for the full and fair representa tion of the people.—(Cheers.) If elected by the borough Mr. Thall would, in Parliament, fulfil the promises be had made out of it.---(Cheers.) Sir WiLLIAM MoLeswoaTH, who in coming forward to address the assembly was received with the loudest de monstrations of respect from his supporters, and hisses and terms of opprobrium from the friends of Mr. Miall and Mr. I'ilcher, spoke to the following effect :—Of the three candidates who aspire to the honour of represent ing you in Parliament, the lot has fallen upon me first to address you. I entreat a patient hearing, whilst I en deavour as briefly as I can to explain my political prin ciples.—(Cheers.) If you approve of my principles, it will be your duty to elect me ; if you disapprove of them, it will be your duty to reject me.—(Cries of " We will have you," and much uproar.) For nine years I sat and voted in the House of Commons as a Radical. —(Cries of " Its not true —you're no Radical.") Tu those principles I still adhere, and intend to adhere. Are you for or are you against Radical principles ? (" Yes, yes," and " No," from Mr. Pilcher s supporters.) I will put the question more distinctly. Are you in favour of free-trede ?—(" Yes, we are," from the great body of the meeting.) Are you opposed to all protect ing duties ? Would you extend your commerce—ex change your manufactures for the productions of every climate,so that your manufacturers may flourish, and the labea , in,g classes be prosperous and happy ? Do you desire a repeal of the Corn-laws ? Do you wish for cheap food-1 .r abundant food for our daily in creasing pepul-:tine ?—(Cheers.) According as you answer these questions—yes or no—so should you vote for or against me; or I have always been a free-trader.—(Loud cheers.) I have supported every measure calculated to extend the commerce and unshackle the industry of this country. As a staunch free-trader I should take my seat as your representa tive in the Hone of Commons. Again, are you in favour of religious liberty and equality? Do you agree with me, in thinking that neither the State nor society ought to interfere with the religious belief of any man—that all creeds, sects, and religions, that Protestants, Catholics, and Dissenters, Jews, and Christians, should be treated in every respect alike? —( Great tyrear and applause from Mr. Molesworth's friends.) If you fiord these opinions, then it is your duty to vote for me __(" Yes, we as ill," and cries of " No, no")—for throughout the whale ef ray public and private career, in every thought, deed, and wart, I have been true to the principles of religious liberty and equality. Again, would you do justice to Ireland ? I have proved that I would by every vote that I have given on Irish affairs. I have proved it since I came iroo this b :rough. I might have avoided all the danger of the contest, if I would have shrunk from the side ot justice to Ireland. I was asked how I should have voted with regard to the late grant to Maynooth.-- ( Hear, hear.) I might have evaded that question. I might have said that I was not in Parliament when that measure was passe , l, that it was settled and gone by. I felt, however, that it eae st y duty to you honestly to state my opinion with re gard to that grant, arid I felt that, in justice to Ireland, I must have voted for it.—( Tremendous uproar, which lasted for some time. On order being partially restored, the Hon. Baronet proceeded. ) Fur this declaration l . have been violently assailed by one section of the Liberal party.—( Expressions of dissent.) My opinions remain unshaken, and for reasons which I will shortly state. The great majority of the Irish nation have ad breed to the religion of their forefathers, and are still Catholics. 'I he piety of those ancestors bequeathed vast property for the maintenance of the Catholic religion, and for the instruction of the Catholic priests. That property has been alienated, not to the uses of the State, nor fur the benefit of the whole Irish nation, but to the support of a religion in which seven-eighths of the people utterly disbelieve.—( Hear, hear.) As some slight com pensation, perhaps, for this great wrong, the Irish Parliament granted a small sum of money, not to maintain the Irish price's, but to educate them , to render them fit for the per formance of their duties. After the union of Great Britain and Ireland. this grant was considered as a sort of contract ; at was continued from year to year ; it had become inadequate fer its purpose ; and last year it was proposed to make it suffi ent.—( Hear, hear.) Now, I ask, could the House of Com mons, with propriety, have rejected such a proposal? Would not the refuse.), of this grant have been considered as tanta mount to a declaration of hostility towards Ireland ?—( Loud cries of " Yes" and " No, no," and "No Popery.") Would it not have confirmed the assertion of the agitator, that there was no justice to be obtained from England?—(Cries of t• That's not justice.") Would it not have lent force to the cry of repeal of the union ? I answer, it would. lam op posed to the repeal of the tmion—( Applause and disappro bation )—no one more so; but then I say, do justice to Ire land--destroy her monster Church—( Loud cheers)—the re proach of England—and when you have done this, then and not till then, refuse the small grant to Maynooth. These are, briefly, my opinions as a Radical; upon them rests my only claim fur your support. If you approve of them—if you are in favour of free trade—if you desire a repeal of the corn-laws —if you are friends to religious liberty and equality—if you are for the progressive reform of the institutions of your country— end lastly, if you would do justice to Ireland—then give me your votes.—(Cheers and uproar among Mr. Pitcher's friends. ) But, if on the contrary, you are opposed to free trade—it you love the corn laws—if you would resist extension of suffrage, triennial Pariiaments, and vote by ballot—if you are in words only, but trot in deeds, the friends of religious liberty and equality—ar.d lastly, if you would offer a deadly insult to Ire land by proposing the rescinding of the grant to Maynooth— then lam not the man fit to represent you : 1 recom mend you to select one or other of my antagonists. Now, a tew words with regard to these antagonists. First, with regard to Mr. Pilcher : Mr. Pilcher is a Tory.— ( Great uproar.) 1 say it with every respect, for he has as uch right to his concientious opinions as I have to mine. Our opinions are cbamerically opposed. There is a fair, up-standing fight between us, which the pod of to-morrow will decide in soy favour.—(" No, no," and " Yes, it will—you're sure to be elected.") But it is not merely on political grounds that Mr. Filcher claims your support. He lays claim to it on account of the local good that he will do to the borough. In this respect l'alr. Filcher far outbids me. I can only promise to attend to your Pardamentary business. Indeed, it would be contrary to my principles— it would seem to me to be a species of cor ruptien to attempt to bias your votes by any promises of pecu niary benefit to yourselves either individually or collectively. —( Lout exoressions of disapprobation from Mr. Pitcher's sup porters. ) Magnificent are the promises which Mr. Filcher is reported to have made. He is reported to have said that he would maintain all the hospitals, support all the dispensaries, and contribute to all the charities with which this borough abounds —( " No, no, you are misrepresenting him") —that he would cleanse your borough of everything filthy—that he would build docks for all the steam-vessels—that he would accomplish wonders with regard to the river Thames.—(Cheers and much uproar.) Thus Mr. Pitcher would buy you. Take care (to use a oopular expression) that you are not sold.—( Loud cheers from Sir W. Itlii!esworth's supporters, and great uproar among Mr. Pitcher's friends.) Now a few words to the friends of Mr. lliall, and to that gentleman himself. Many amongst you, I know, are honest and sincere men, for whose characters I entertain unfeigned respect. Between your opinions ar.d mine the practical difference has always seemed to tee to be of small amount ; I have, therefore, frem the beginning of this contest, deeply regretted the division that exists between us.— ( Hear, hear.) I wished that our offered united forces should do battle to the common enemy. to agree to any fair compromise.— (No, no.) I promised to retire from the field if I were the weaker, and to give all the assistance in my power to your candidate. These offers your candidate rejected, and the contest went on. Still I hoped that no angry feelings would ari=e between us. I trusted we should abstain from personalities towards eash other, and that this would be a calm contest of reason. In. these my hopes I have been disappointed, and for that disappointment I am not to blame. Not one word of disrespect—not one single syllable of reproach did I utter against your candidate—(Loud cries of " The Reverend Mr. Mull, who first sneered at that ?") until I was assailed. When struck, however, lam ever ready to strike in return. Who struck the first blow? You, Mr. ilisll !—(" No, no, you did it.") Yon quitted the high ground of argument. You descended into the arena of abuse. You aceased me of dishonesty on account of my opinions with regard to Maynooth.—( Loud cries of " It's false.") y ou taxed me with insincerity because I possessed property in the Church of England ; you called upon the Dissenters of South. wark to shrink with horror from my opinions ; you attempted to excite religious animosity and rancour against me ; like an inquisitor of old, you presumed to question me on my religious belief, and to summon me before the tribunal of your private judgment.—( Tremendous uproar, yelling, hissing, and every conceivable token of disapprobation.) lam glad to meet you here to-day, face to face, to answer you, to scoff at your pre teilsioes—( Continued uproar)—and to bid you defiance. I tell you, in the name of religious liberty and equality, that no man has a right to interfere with the religious opinions of another man ; that no man has a right to question or blame the belief of Iris neighbour. I tell you that in your conduct and lan guage towards me you have been untrue to the great principle of religious liberty—(" 'Tis false, you are the traitor ')—you have been without that charity which is the essence of re ligions liberty. You have denounced me as the editor of the works of Hobbes of Malmesbury. Electors, lam proud of tl,e fact.—(Great confusion.) 1 will rest upon it a claim to your support, in opposition to the claim of Mr. lie is the editor of the Nonconformist. lam the e !icor of Hobbes. To compare the two works together would be like comparing the vastest mountain on the earth's surface with the smallest mole-hill.--(Loud tokens of dissent from Mr, friends, and cheers from Sir William Moles worth's supporters.) The works of Hobbes will last more eenturias than the Nonconformist will days. The writings of Hubbee w ill live as long as the Anglo-Saxon race and language. Thee will he read age after age by the studious amongst the milli...us of our race, who will people the two Americas and the islands of the Southern Ocean, and who will wonder at the ignorant and the bigotted herd who dared to assail so great a was!, r of thought and language.—( Loud cheers and disappro batior.) As one of that herd, it is your only chance, Mr. Mall, of escaping oblivion.—(Tremendous uproar.) When I enmo7enced this contest I was told by one of Mr. Miall's ad mirers that he was a retired and accomplished student, skilled in literature, a lover of learning an wisdom, an acute rea soner, an able writer, and in every way well fitted to in struct the nation *hrough the public press. I did believe all this, and I felt almost ashamed of entering into a contest with such a person. Now, I ask you, electors, has Mr. Miall's roncluet with regard to Hobbes been in c onformity with the character I have Just given.—(Cties of " Yes , yes, ' and " No, no.") If you, Mr. : Miall, had any love of learning, any regard for the literature of your country, any reverence for the wisdom of past times, any admiration for beauty of language, vigour of expression, vigour of logic, and boldness of reasoning, though you might, like myself, deem many of Hobbes' opinions erroneous, though you might reject the whole of his doctrines, yet you would have ac corded praise, not blame, to me, for enabling the student to pe ruse the works of one of England's most illustrious authors. No, like that Mahometan warrior and bigot who destroyed the wisdom of ages, you would burn every work, and consume all literature that in the slightest degree was at variance with your limited notions—with your own Koran.--(Loud and continued cheering, intermixed with dissent from Mr. Miall's friends.) You have denounced me as the editor of an infidel work ;I have challenged you, and again challenge you, to make good your assertions.—(" He is an infidel.") I have called upon you to point out one infidel passage, one single sentence derogatory to Christianity in the works of Thomas Hobbes, of Malmes bury. Have you or have you not read those works ? if you have not read them, what right have you to say that they are infidel productions ? If you have read them, then point out one infidel passage in them, one single sentence hostile to Christianity.—(Cheers.) I defy you to it. You have shrunk from the attempt. You have indirectly acknowledged that no such passage can be found in those works. Would it not have been manly and courageous to have acknowledged your error, to have said that you have never read those works, and that you had been misled with regard to them. Instead of doing this you have had recourse to subterfuge. First, you have talked about Gibbon. Now, tell me, acute logician, able reasoner, what has Gibbon to do with Hobbes, or Hobbes with Gibbon? —( Cheers and hisses. ) Two minds more dissimilar can hardly be found than the philosopher of Malmerbury, and the historian of the Roman empire—would you, the lover of know ledge, not only destroy the works of our greatest dialectician, but the writings, likewise, of our greatest historian ?—( Great cheers and uproar.) Would you consign to the same Games the " Leviathan" and the " Decline and Fall of the Roman Em pire ?"—( Cheers.) Secondly, you have insinuated that some of Hobbes' opinions lead to infidelity. Prove it, I say. Now, I ask, is there a single work renowned in science, in literature, or in art, against which a similar charge has not been brought by some narrow-minded bigot ? It is a well-known historical fact, that every great discovery in astronomy, in natural his tory, in chemistry, or in any of the physical sciences, that everything which has made us better acquainted with the heavens, with the earth, and with human na ture—that every acquisition of knowledge which has tended to elevate humanity every attempt at free inquiry, every effort to shake off the trammels of authority, has been successively attacked by the ignorant and narrow-minded, as leading to infidelity. Under this malignant and accursed, plea some of the greatest spirits of the human race have been persecuted and slain. Socrates was put to death as an infidel—he who first said there were Antipodes was burnt. The followers of Copernicus were persecuted as disbelievers, and the great Galileo on bended knees was compelled to assert that the earth was immovable.—( Great cheering.) Bacon and Descartes were taxed with irreligion, the doctrines of Locke were said to lead to materialism, Newton was accused of dethroning the Deity for the discovery of the law of gravitation, a similar ,charge was made against Franklin for explaining the nature of the thunderbolt, Priestley's library was burnt and his person endangered on account of his religious opinions, and, in our own days, Buckland, Sedgwick, and the other geologists are accused of overturning re velation by their discoveries with regard to the past existence of the earth.—( Cheers.) In short, in all ages, and amongst all nations, infidelity has ever been the war-cry which the base, the ignorant, the intolerant, and the canting tribe have raised against the great, the noble, and the generous spirits of the human race.—( Great uproar and cheering from Sir William Molesworth's supporters.) That cry you, Mr. ahlialt, have attempted to raise against the works which I have edited. I now again solemnly call on you before these, the electors of Southwark, whom you wish to represent in Parliament, I challenge you to make good your assertions. If you shrink from the attempt, or fail, as fail you will, then I accuse you before your tellow-citisens of having brought this charge against me for base electioneering purposes. I brand you as a calumniator, and appeal to the poll 01 to-mor row. The Hon. Baronet, who was much interrupted in the ' delivery of his address, concluded amidst great cheering from his friends, and every mark of disapprobation from the sup porters of the two other candidates. Mr. PILCH a then came to the front of the platform, and the shouting, which had died into a calm, was again renewed with greater violence than ever. As nearly as we could hear him, he said that the claims he advanced tar the honour of re presenting the borough were such as he thought would en•irle him to their suffrages.—( Cheers, groans, and great confusion.) He had the utmost confidence in the result of the election ; for the good sense of the electors would, he was convinced, dis tinguish between the claims of a commercial man, whose yvhole life had been spent in the borough, and who was therefore well acquainted with its wants, and a theoretical philosopher, or a student fresh from his closet.—(Cheers, groans, and cries of " Pitcher for ever," answered by the opposing war-cry of " Molesworth, Molesworth I") tie had filled, and he trusted to the satisfaction of his brethren in the borough, net only va rious offices in Surrey, but in the city of London and in the county of Middlesex.—(Cheers and hisses.) The objects which he had in View in seeking this high distinction were many—(Cheers)—and they might be inferred from his con duct during the past years of his life. He thought that he had a claim higher than that advanced by any stranger— ( Hear)--for had he not supported, in his humble sphere, their district charities—(Cheers)—their dispensaries, and their hospitals ?—( Cheers and hisses.) Some had called him Tory and souse Whig. He would himself, however, tell them what he was. He was a liberal Reformer of every abuse connected with the Government or institutions of their country.— (Cheers.) He was the opponent of the poor-laws.—( Cheers.) They had had his utmost attention, and he was opposed to everything wrong or unjust in their operation. He was an advocate for the removal of every tax which in the least degree tended to restrict trade or commerce, and for that pur pose he would give his support to any measures which world remove the evils of the present corn daws.--( Cheers and cries of " You're a counterfeit.") Ile would be found the unflinching advocate of every measure that would be likely to give employment to the poor, by the consumption of the pro. duct of British manufactures—by the increase of trade, or com merce on the river, in every branch of industry—(Cheer s) — and particularly he would support the introduction of docks into this borough.—(Cheers.) He would uphold Protes tantism in all its integrity, and would oppose all inter ference with the constitution of the Church as at pre seat established.—(Cheers.) He would not lee a party to any spoliation of that structure which had de scended to them in trust from their fathers.—( Cheers and hisses.) He would support any measure fur the extenaion of education, and he hoped to see the time shortly when every child of seven years old in the British empire would be able to read the New Testament.—( Cheers. ) lie was against the Nlaynooth grant—( Groans and cheers)—and if any motion for the repeal of that grant were brought for ward, he should feel it his duty to support it.—(Cheers.) He was also opposed to the income-tax, for he was of opinion that a property-tax , was greatly superior. ( Cheers. ) He was an advocate for the repeal of the assessed taxes— (Cheers)—because they pressed particularly hard upon the in dustrious classes. ( For several minutes it was impossible to catch a word, and even the Hon. Candidate, who had hitherto, with a manly fortitude, spoken a/ the reporters, seemed inclined to give up the effort in despair. By dint, however, of great exertion on the part of the " fuglernen" on either side, the two black men already alluded to, peace was res.ored, and Mr. Filcher was allowed to continue. It may be mentioned that one of the negroes had seceded to the Molesworth party.) But this obnoxious impost might, in his opinion, be got rid of in another way ; the con version of six million acres of Crown land would produce at least 6,000,00 N. of money, and this, certainly, would do away with any necessity for an income-tax —(Cheers.) He would ask, them, then, who could more effectually represent that borough than a man whose interests were identified with their interests, and whore home was their home.—( The wor the borough, while they can hardly Ise said to have es caped from persecution on Recount of their o f inions—for the Universities are not yet opened to them, and access to many high places in the State is practically denied them—have be gun to persecute Sir William Moleswortb, net exactly on ac count of his own religions opinions, but on account of the opi nions of another man whose works be edited. Much to the credit of Sir William, he has employed his leisure and his fortune in giving to the world a complete edi tion of the works of Thomas Hobbes, known as " the Philosopher of Malmesbury." Hobbes lived in troubleus times. His youth was Cut in the unquiet days of the Commonwealth, he lived amidst the dreadful fanaticism and the political disorders of that period, he suffered too from them, and was for some time an exile from his country. Living in strange times, and having only a partial experience, he formed somewhat strange opinions which are not now and never were popular. They are however the opinions of a pro found and reflecting mind. In truth, Thomas Hobbes had one of the strongest minds of the day, and he is one of England's greatest worthies. In mathematics be was second only to Des cartes, the greatest mathematician of the age; in metaphysics he was superior, all things considered, to Locke • and in general literature he was nearly equal to the polished Bolingbroke. But he was too profound and reflective a philosopher to please the light-minded and light-dreading wits and priests of his own time, and he has come down to us with a fame somewhat tarnished by a reproach, wholly undeserved, of being an irre ligious man. We are believers in many of his opinions. To his political doctrines, evidently the offspring of the disorders in the midst of which he lived, and which teach, like Lord Brougham and the clergy, that society must be ruled with a rod of iron, we, having seen and learned something of the natural order of society, are most determinedly opposed. But we are still more deter minedly opposed to the doctrine which makes man accountable to man for his religious opinions, and inflicts on him tests and civil disabilities because he differs in his uncontrollable belief from ourselves. If belief be at command, we see no reason why a sovereign may not prescribe a universal State Church, and compel conformity. fhe voluntary system of Church govern ment, of which Mr. Miall is the champion and the Dissenters the aggrieved supporters, is founded on the uneontrollableness of man's belief and on the right of every man freely to entertain and act on his own religious opinions. In direct opposition therefore to the very principles for which Mr. Miall and the Dissenters profess to battle, in defiance of charity, in degrada tion of our national renown, better founded on such worthies as Hobbes than on Marlboroughs and Wellingtons, the Non conforming editor has be e n ass ailing Thomas H obbes as an infidel, and holding up Sir William Molesworth to religious opprobrium because be has edited his works. Thomas Hobbes an infidel I That is, an unfaithful man—a man in wheal no confidence can be placed, who scorns his God and contemns his fellows ! Why, a truer man, a man more sincere and honest, never broke bread in England ; and for a Dissenter to enlist religious bigotry against Sir Wiliam Molesworth on account of his having edited the works of such a man is the most scandalous appeal to vile prejudices in opposition to the dis senting creeds and dissenting sufferings that we ever heard of. They who conspire to make it prove that they are slaves in heart and mind, and that they have learnt nothing from the persecution they have undergone as Nonconformists but how to wield the dreadful weapons from which they have suffered. It makes us almost dread that the spirit of persecution is natural to them, and almost inclined to say that they were properly kept in slavery by test acts as the only means of preventing their being unscrupulous tyrants. In the name of the good cause of liberty utterly desecrated by such Miall dissenting appeals, we feel called on to reprobate this use of religious bigotry and religious persecution as a means of securing its success in Southwark. thy candidate was for some time rendered inaudible by the tu multuous cheers of his partisans below him. ) We understood him to say that he was a commercial man, identified with com mercial interests. He had the support of the working men of the borough, and he was proud also to say that he had the sup. port of the ladies.—( Laughter on the hustings—renewed up rear in front.) If his friends would come early to the poll te. morrow, ho would promise them a certain victory.—(Cheers.) Mr. MIALL then came forward, and it is scarcely necessary to say that the execrable commingling of discordant sounds from the vast multitude below him rendered him even less audible than the previous speakers. To this we must add that, as he studiously addressed himself to the reporters, we should have been able to colle A a great part of what he said, had it not been for the zealous demonstrations cf his friends upon the hustings. These gentlemen, of whom many appeared :o be clergymen, occupied the portion of the hustings next to the reporters. They were not satisfied with this advantage, but unceremoni ously, and often very uncivilly, walked over the desk at which the reporters wrote, and trod upon their note-books and other papers. [During the whole of the time that Mr. Miall was delivering his speech, those gentlemen kept up a fire of coarse, awl by no means witty, repartee with the hired partisans of the other side, whereby they to a gi eat extent neutralised Mr. Miall's efforts to be heard, and oar ef. forts to hear.] He was understood to say that he was glad this day to meet his antagonists face to lace. But he scorned en that day to make any reply to the personalities with which he had been assailed. He would only say, for himself, that it was his wish, according to his ability to do good to his fellow man ; and it did nut concerti him whether his name " went down to oblivion, or was banded up to the admiration of pos terity." He had not referred to Sir Win Molesworth, as the " Editor of Hobbes," until he himself (as we understood) had been attacked on account of his religious opinions. lie now averred, and he was ready to prove, that the whole tendency of Hobbes' works was opposed to Christianity and civil liberty. That was the opinion of Duckworth and of Hallam, of Dugald Stewart and of Sir James Macintosh. He condemned the endowment of Maynooth College. The Established Church in Ireland was the bane of that coantry, and resulted in a combination of the priests of both Churches to repress the aspirations of the people for civil and religious liberty. It was unnecessary for him on that occasion to detain his friends by an exposition of his principles and sentiments, which he had already explained at sixteen meetings in the borough. He concluded by expressing (as we understood) his personal in difference to the result of the contest, and his anxiety only for the real independence of the borough. Mr. MAYNARD then made a vain attempt to obtain a hear ing, when The Htoft-BAmirr put the names of the candidates in suc cession, and took a'show of hands, the dense meeting at this time extending beyond Union-street, and numbering between ten and twelve thousand. For Sir William Molesworth the show was about two thirds of the whole.

The lima BAILIFF then declared the election to have fallen on Sir W. Molesworth, Bart. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. On Tuesday evening a meeting of the friends of Mr.. Miall was held in the ,Literary Institution, Borough-road. The theatre was well filled. pri , oner last September? Witness (hesitating)—Not posi tively k last September, tut certainly in October. The CHAIIIMAN said that if the statement laid before the bench by Mr. Keene, the Governor of the gaol, was correct, the witness was committing wilful and deliberate perjury, for, according to it, the prisoner was undergoing an imprisonment of three months in the House of Correction, at the time the witness represented him to be otherwise engaged. Mr. Keene was then sworn, and he stated that the prisoner was tried on the 9th of September last, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, at which period he went by the name of Robert Taylor. CHA/R.MAN (to witness)— You hear what has been stated by the governor of the county gaol, and I now wish to know how you have had the audacity, while on your oath, to utter that which you must be aware was a wilful and deliberate falsehood ? fhe witness, who was very much confused, said he had nothing to say. Upon which, The CHAIRMAN ordered him to be taken into custody, and e was forthwith conveyed round to the gaol. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty againt Shaw, and The CHAittstesr, in passing sentence, observed, that the guilt of the prisoner had been greatly aggravated by the de fence he had set up. It was useless to allow such a person to remain in the country, and the sentence was that be be trans ,rorte for seven years. At half-past seven the lion. Candidate, accompanied by several members of his Committee, entered the room, and was received with loud cheering. Mr. STAFFORD ALLEN was called to the chair, and after some brief observations, introduced Mr. Miall to the meeting. Mr. MLtLL then proceeded to say that it would be idle for him on this, the sixteenth time he had appeared before them, to declare again his political opinions, for he had hidden none of them behind a mist; he had answered every ques tion which had been put to him without hesitation or shuffling. But on this, the day preceding the nomination, the Whig papers had opened upon them a heavy fire.—(" Oh, oh.") They had charged him with having some concealed object in this contest. They charged him with playing a game into the hands of the Tories.—(A voice, "A very true charge.") He would ask them who had let in the Tory fur Sunderland? Was it not the Whigs? He should ' deeply deplore the introduction of another Tory to Parliament, but the fault was chargeable upon the Whigs themselves. He and those who agreed with him had a duty to perform, and they would do it in spite of all the vituperation and all the contumely attempted to be thrown upon them by the Whig-Radical press.— (Cheers.) Mr. Miall then in detail explained his idea of ' religious liberty. He was opposed to all State endowments, and most decidedly opposed to the doctrines of absolute monarchy inculcated in the works of Hobbes. The Hon. Candidate then adverted to what he termed the philosophy of the Whig-Radical school, and characterised it as a system subversive of all the social tie► and all the better feelings of humanity. Opposed to that philosophy, and foremost in the ause of the suffering people, had arisen a new school, which boasted the Times and Punch as its organs...{ Laughter and cheering.) It had been affirmed that he (Mr. Mialll had not the remotest chance of success, but he would recommend the parties who so prophecied not to triumph until after the election ?—(Cheers.) Even if they were the lowest la the poll, they would at least have shown that there was a section of sincere and honest-hearted men who at least preferred their principles to their party.—(Cheers.) Mr. Mien con eluded by calling upon the electors of Southwark to show, by their votes on Thursday that they were determined to ti . ght for those principles to the uttermost.—(Cheers.) Mr. NEWSOME then proposed a resolution, pledging the meeting to support Mr. Miall at the forthcoming election. A Butcher, of Herculean proportions, here rose to move an amendment, and, amid shouting, hissing, laughter, and cheering, threw his cap into the sacred circle around the chair, and leaped in after. Mr. STAMBUILN seconded the resolution. The person who had acted in the eccentric manner already alludeded to rose, but sat down again after giving utterance to some incoherent and foolish charge.. Mr. Mint.t again rose, and wasted half an hour breaking this fly upon the wheel. At length, even his admirers, being tired of the display, in compliance with their murmured dis approbation, he resumed his seat. After some remarks from Dr. Price thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fowszawcanic.) IN RE LEATHWAITZ.-OPPOSITION IT TRLIIITIZI. ♦ND LOAN POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Jahn Haddon, Andrew Haring, henry Burkett, and John Ilethand were brought up before Alderman Keily and Alder man Lucas, charged with being disorderly and creating a dis turbance in Golden-lane. Police-constable James Ellis, 142, said that about two o'clock in the morning he heard a great noise in Golden-lane, and on proceeding there he saw the two first prisoners had a couple of half gallon cans each, which they were clashing together and making the most horrible din. 'I he third prisoner had a large teaboard, which he was beating at a great rate, and Holland was shouting with all his might. Witness desired them to move un, which they did until they imagined they were out of the bounds of the City, upon which one of them said, " Now we will kick up a row ; the Peelers have no sight to in terfere in our amusements." They immediately commenced the noise again, when witness seised hold of the teaboard, upon which Holland snatched it out of his hand and ran off. He pursued him, and when about to catch hold of him, he threw the teaboard at his head, but fortunately missed his aim. With the assistance of another constable, they were all taken into custody. The prisoners said they had been at a wedding, and were going for more beer, when the policeman came up. They were not aware of the time, and were rather intoxicated. Alderman Kew r said he should fine Harlow, Burkett, and Haddon, so., or seven days' confinement each, and commit Holland for fourteen days for the assault on the police. CLERKEA WELL. AriMatu•Sullitetn, a butcher's boy, was charged with driving over Mr. J. Saunders, a respectable tradesman, residing in John's-row, St. Luke's, and also over h s two children, Edwin and Alfred Saunders, whose lives are in danger. Mr. Saunders, who seemed to be suffering pain, deposed that about two o'clock on the previous afternoon he was standing near his own door, in John's-row, St. Luke's, when he saw the prisoner ariving 'down the street at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour. His little children were in the street, and he ran to save them, but such was this velocity of the vehicle, that before he could get them out of the way he was himself knocked down, and the wheel passed over his body. Little Ed win was likewise knocked down by the horse and trampled on, .iut Alfred was most seriously injured. In running across the street he was knocked down, and the wheel of the cart. passed over his chest, so that when he was raised up his chest was quite fattened, and he could not breathe. A certificate was produced from a surgeon, stating that the life of Alfred was in great danger, and that Edwin had been seriously injured. The prisoner,who treated the matter with the greatest levity, was told by Mr. Mould, the clerk, that he might be trans ported for life if the child died, whereupon his conduct was a little more becoming. He was perfectly sober at the time, and was unable to offer anything in mitigation of his conduct. He was remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. Tax CHARGE oe Sucierseo. Cheeks Taylor, who, on Sunday morning, the 24th ult., while firing at a mark with a rifle, in a field mar the Hackney•road, accidentally lodged his rise ball in the neck of a young man named Charles Chapman, who was in his garden near the spot, was re-examined before Mr. Bingham on Monday. Sergeant Godfrey produced a certificate, signed. by three surgeons, who stated that the you n g man Chapman is gradually progressing towards health, and may be pronounced out of pre sent danger ; but that as the ball had not been extracted the ultimate conclusion of the case mus t he considered doubtful. 'l'he pris bail one as before.wastherefore again remanded for a fortnight an thesame THAMES. THROWING MISSILES AT STEAM-BOIT PASSE NGERS.— On Tuesday 11 iiliam Bignell, the ma ster of a sailing barge, called the Lucretia, belonging to Brentferd, appeared before Mr. Broderip, to answer a charge of " assaulting Captain John Jenkins Large, the master of the City o f Cant e rbur y , Herne Bay steamer, and divers of her :Majesty's subjects" by throw ing a large coal among the passengers as the vessel was pro ceeding down the river. It appeared from the evidence of Captain Large, which was confirmed by Mr. Rohrs, the secretary of the company, and R. Major, one of the crew of the vessel, that on Friday last the steamer was proceeding down the river with 260 passengers on board, and she met with the sailing barge off New Crane, Shadvrell, and the engines were stopped for the purpose of avoiding mischief, and in doing so some water trom the paddle wheel went over the barge's gunwale. The man at the helm of the barge used language of the most revolting description, which Captain Large said he could not mention in a public court, and which annoyed the passengers very much, and the fellow then took up a large coal which he threw at Captain Large, who was stationed on the bridge, between the two pad dle-boxes. It missed hint and fell among the passengers on deck, striking a child in its descent on the forehead with great violence. Mr. Rohrs, the secretary of the Herne Bay Steam Packet Company, said the passengers travelling by their steamers had been so much annoyed by the bad language and insolence of bargemen on the river, and missiles had been so often thrown at the people on board,"that the company were ;determined to prosecute in every case, and would spare neither pains nor ex pense in bringing offenders to ju-tire. He picked tip a coal the size of a man's fist, which had been thrown by the defendant from his barge. Mr. lieoneeir said, the company did quite right to prose cute, and that he would render all the aid in his power to abate the evil. He then requested the defendant, who was laughing at the witnesses, to conduct himself with decency, and said there was nothing to laugh at The defendant said he was not laughing. Mr. Beoveeir —Do you mean to tell me that I was looking at you and did not see you laughing ? Inspector Flekbrook, of the Thames Police, said the de fendant admitted to him he was at the helm of his barge, and that he had a piece of coal in his hand, which he threw at s man in the fore sponson, without any intention of hitting the captain or any of the passengers. He also said that if he was fined his governor would pay it, and treated the matter with great levity. The prisoner, in his defence, admitted he threw a piece of coal at one of the men on boa r d th e City o f C an terbury, and that it was in his hand before the steamer fell in with him. He alleged as an excuse for his conduct that his barge was laden with 63 tons of coals, and was in danger from the rapid speed of the steamer; that one of the men ridiculed bins by putting his finger to his nose ; and that on a former oecasion the City of Canterbury ran foul of his barge, knocked him overboard, and nearly drowned him. Captain Large denied that a n y o f his men misconducted themselves, or that he did any mischief to the barge. Mr. Bennettsr took a very serious view of the ease, and said he should not deal with it summarily. He should be wanting in duty to the public if he passed over such an outrage as this with the mere infliction of a money fine. There were nearly 31X) persons on board the steamer, and the defendant, who had treated the charge with so much levity, would no doubt be surprised when he told him that, if any ono had been killed by the coal which had been thrown among them, he would have been put on his trial for wilful murder. It there was any foundation for the defence set up, the defendant ought to have appealed to the laws of hi s coun t r y f o r redress, and not have thrown missiles among a number of unoffending people. He ordered that the defendant should find good bail, himself in 501. and two sureties in 251. each, to answer the charge at the sessions.—The defendant was committed to prison in default of bail. SIEUGGLING OF COALS.—EVADING THE CITY DUES.— Tuesday Henry Thomas Lewis, the master of the Medway sailing barge Severn, appeared before Mr. ilroderip, to answer an information exhibited by the City Solicitor, under the 78th section of the Ist and 2d Wm. IV., cap. 76, for having broken the bulk of a cargo of coals before the City dues were paid, by which he had incurred a penalty not exceeding 25/. Mr. Martin of the City solicitor's office, said a man named Archer, the master of the coal ship William, was fined 3/. for a similar offence, on Saturday, and that person had discharged 137 tons of coals in the river, without paying the dues, for the amount of which the Corporation of London would proceed by action. He was sorry to appear before the Magistrate again so soon,butwould abstain from making anyobservations which might prejudice the defendant. The gentlemen of the Coal Market, who were much interested in the question, and were anxious the law should be enforced, thought, as he understood, that he had not brought forward the evils of the system so prominently as he ought to have done ; but he was quite satisfied in leaving time toe in the hands of the Magistrate, who, he was quite sure, woald protect the City in the exercise of its rights, and prevent imposition on the fair traders, who were deeply injured if pew sans evaded payment of the duties, and sold coals at a cheaper este than those who did pay them. Mr. Thomas Plant Rose, inspector of City coal dies, stated that ha saw a cargo of coals being discharged from *he barge Severn, of which defendant was master, into the Priaaese Royal, a Sheerness steamer, of the Adelphi Pier, in the parish of Lambeth, on the 2d instant. The defendant 'man board tilling sacks with the Coals, and carrying them on board the Princess Royal. He saw the same barge in Lang Reach, near Gravesend, with 3 0 tons of coals in her, on the Thursday previous. Mr. Baosixie—W here was the barge when you last saw her? Mr. Rose—Near the Suspension-bridge„ in the parish of Lambeth, opposite the Watermen's Agielphi Pier. Mr. William Moseart Russell said he was collector of the City dues on coals, and that he had not received any on account of the cargo of the Severn. The duty on 30 tons of coals, at the rate of I3d. per ton, amounted to 11. 12s. 6d. The defenaant, in reply to the charg e, said he was hired by Captain Cunningham, the master of the Princess Royal steamer, which runs between the Adelphi Pier and Sheerness, and who was also the owner of the barge, to convey the coals from Chatham to the river Thames, and he was directed by the same party to put the coals on board the steamer at Lam beth. Mr. BRODER:F—But the dues were not paid upon them, and the City has been defrauded of them. The defendant said he knew nothing about the dues. Captain Cunningham employed him as a coal•porter and lighterman to carry the coals to the steam-bout. lie put aventy. five tons ut coals on beard the Prince's Royal. Mr. Banns:ale said the defendant was the master of the Large, anti the party respon-ible, and was liable to a penalty of 25/. for this offence. Case after case had come before him, and although he was disposed to be as lenient as possible, he could not, consistently with the rights of the City and the interests of the fair trader, inflict a less penalty than 51. Parties must be taught that they could not make a good specu lation by attempting to evatle the pay ment of the duties on coals. The offence was becoming so common, and the City had been so often defrauded, that heavy penalties would in fu ture be indicted. unless there were very strong mitigatory cir cumstanees established. The defendant hail not the means of paying the fine, and was committed. MOST AUDACIOUS ROBBERY AND OUTRAGE.--On Tuesday a woman of loose charaetar, warned Margaret Cifford, w as brought before Mr. Broderip, charged with stealing a purse containing three sovereigns, from the person of Mr. George Hugh. s, the master el the Hertford sailing barge Victoria, in the Fir free puhlic-house, Back Church -lane. Whitechapel. The prosecutor stated that he went Mtn the Fir Tree be tween one and two o'clock that morning with a woman, named Jane Burton, and two male acquaintances. and called for a half pint of gin. The prisoner was then standing in front of the bar with a young child in her arms, and forced herself on the atten tion of himself and friends, and said she should like a drop of gin too. He pulled out a black canvass bag, which contained -- A poll was demanded on the part of the other candidates, which was fixed tor eight o'clock to-morrow morning. The several candidates, amidst considerable noire and confu sion, r,turned thanks for the attendance of their followers, and urged them to be early at the poll to-morrow morning. PILCHER then moved a vote of thanks to the High Bailiff for his impartial conduct on the occasion. AlontswoßTH seconded the motion, which was put &PA carried amidst great applause. The HIGH BAILIFF said he was deeply indebted to the gen tlemen present for the mark of esteem they had just given. He was much pleased at the orderly and regular manner in which they had conducted themselves—(lronical cheers from Mr. tliali's friends)—and he trusted the good understanding which had hitherto prevailed would be maintained up to the close of the poll. He would now leave them, trusting in their good sense that nothing would transpire to mar the good name that Southwark had obtained for its conduct or, electioneering matters.—(Loud cheers. ) The multitude, after several rounds of cheers for their re spective candidates, quietly separated. SOUTHWARK AND RELIGIOUS REPROACII. (From th 6 Briyhton Guardian ) A contest is going on for Southwark in which Sir William Atoleavvorth is the Whig candidate, :Mr. Aliall, the editor of the Nonconformist, the Radical and Voluntary system candidate, and Mr. Filcher, the Tory candidate. Respect for our own cloth, respect, too, for our own opinions, which are opposed to those of the Whig candidate on the Church quest i on, would dispose us rather eager ly to embrace an d support the cause of Mr. but, unfortunat e ly, t hi s a h. Nonconformist editor and Miall; Nonconfoneist brethren in THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1845. three sovereigns and a half, and took out the half-sovereign for the purpose of paying for the liquor he had ordered, and was about to deliver it to Jane Burton for the purpose of obtaining charge, but the prisoner forestalled her, took the half-sovereign from his hand, and said " I'll get change for it." She then passed her child to another female, and as she gave him the change, 9s. 6d., she adroitly slipped her right hand into his left hand trousers' pocket, where he had just before deposited his bag and money, and drew it out. The moment he felt the bag withd:awn from his pocket he made a " grab" at her hand, but could not catch it. He exclaimed to his friends, "My money is gone," and he was surrounded in an instant by several per sons and hustled. The prisoner rats away, and he followed her through the mob as well as he was able, and upon reaching the door caught her by the skirt of her gown and detained her until a policeman arrived. Jane Burton a woman of the town, stated that she accom panied the prosecutor to the Fir Tree, and that directly Mr. Hughes put the change of the half-sovereign into his waistcoat pocket, the prisoner took the bag, containing three sovereigns, out of his trousers pocket. She told her that would not do, and that she was determined the prosecutor should not be robbed in her presence. She had no sooner uttered the words, than several persons surrounded her. She was struck twice, and her bonnet was torn off her head. She got away from her assailants—went out at the side door, and met with a police man immediately, who stopped the prison, r at the front door. Henry Wilbourn, of Ilomerton Marsh, was with Hughes, and saw the robbery committed. Hughes rushed towards toe prisoner, and witness was about to follow him, when he was knocked down by some person ; and on recovering his feet, he was knocked down again and kicked, and his fiat was taken away. He got up again and followed the prisoner, whom Le found in custody at the door. John Ross, 50 It said the prisoner was searched at the sta tion-hi.use, and no money was found upon her. The prisoner denied having committed the robbery. and in sinuated that Burton was the tine!. The piii,oner was committed for trial ; and she addressed the Magistrate as fellows:—" Please your W,rship, I nave Kit a 'baby five months old. may I take it with me ?" Mr. BstonEarre who, it is supposed, did not hear what the prisoner said, made no answer to tie application. The gaoler led the prisoner away immediately, and her v ry reasonable request was no doubt complied with as a matter ol course. English • • • • • • NAVAL INTEL LIGEN CE.

CORN-EXCHANGE Since Monday the arrivals ofEnglish Wheat up to our market have been but moderate, and principally of the pre sent year's growth. To-day the show of samples of that ar ticle was rather limited ; hence the demand for most descnp tions ruled steady, and full prices were obtained in every in stance. Comparatively speaking. the supply of fine foreign Wheat was small. The best quulities of both red and white sold steadily, at full rates of value. In other kinds very little was doing, yet prices were supported. Corn, in bond, was mostly held at full prices. There were several parcels of new English Barley . on sale. The Barley trade ruled firm. and previous rates were generally paid. The supply of Malt being somewhat more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers the Malt trade ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. Very few fresh Oats were on offer. The best potatoe qualities were in fair demand, but other kinds were somewhat neglected. Beans and Peas ruled dull, and were considered the turn lower. The Flour trade WAS dull at late rates. ARRIVALS. Barley. 310 qrs. I 1,260 Malt, 2,790 qrs. Oats. Flour. —qrs 4.310 sks. 780 SOCIKTIrti. This insolvent, who described himself as a schoolmaster at Rotherhithe, cam• up for an interim order. Mr. Huc xis said he appeared to oppose on behalf of nine teen several creditors, on the ground that the debts had been contracted by breach of trust. The insolvent was a debt col lector, and in the course of his transactions bad received dif ferent sums of money which he had appropriated to his Own use, and then inserted the persons on whose account he had received it as creditors. He had also incurred a debt to a Mr. Raymond, for coals sold on commission, and was also indebted to several loan societies. The insolvent admitted the receipt of the several sums, and said that he had been unable to pay through extreme poverty. The LEARNED Cost)usstoxxx said that was a very lame excuse ; he had sold goods on commission, and would have re ceived a per tentage on the money he collected. The insol vent's answers were very unsatisfactory, and he fenced with every question. If be did not answer more directly to the question, the petition would be dismissed. 'The insolvent said he could not nor would not swear as to the various amounts, as every item in the schedule was from memory. Mr. Wells, the accountant, had his papers. The CoIIItISSIONRR said a mttn who was a schoolmaster and debt-colectur needed not an accountant, but under every cir cumstance no insolvent ought to give his papers and books out of his own possession. Mr. 1-luCstas said that the insolvent was now Master of the Charity Schools at Rotherhithe, at a salary of 501. per annum, with coals, candles, &c., and was also a defaulter to the trustees. lie had to apply for oi.e of the trustees to be ap pointed assignee to deduct 10/. per annum for the benefit of the creditors, but the final order must be adjourned sine die, on the ground of the debts being contracted by breaches of trust, and also giving accommodation bills, and borrowing money as he had. The insolvent denied that the !perquisites of the school were so good. 11r. HUGHES said the trustees were present to prove the facts as he had stated. The ComattssioNE a. said that it was impossible that a final order could ever be given in such a case ; but if the insolvent consented to pay 20/. per annum till the debts (1501.) were liquidated, the protection should be enlarged every six months, but the petition would be dismissed if the payments were not kept up. MIDDLESEX S ESSIONS. (Before the Assistant Judge, Mr. Sergeant AnaSts, and a Bench of Magistrates. ) These sessions commenced on Tuesday at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell-green. The calendar contained the names of 69 prisoner. for trial, subsequently augmented by additional com mitment!. The charges were chiefly for felony. William Fitch, aged 22; John If aters, aged 15 ; Mary Ann Reed, aged 19 ; and Elizabeth Thomas, aged 15, were indicted for stealing a purse, and the sum of 55., from the per son of Lucy Charlotte Mary Barclay. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. The Learned JUDGE said that the history of the prisoner Fitch was somewhat singular. He was sentenced to trans portation for seven years at these sessions in January last, under the name of William Walker, but by tome means he had contrived to change places with another pri soner (Nicholas Duncan). who had at the same sessions been convicted of felony, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The conviction happened at a late hour of the day on which the prisoner was tried, and having with other felons been removed to the calls beneath the court, previous to being forwarded to the Westminster Bridewell, they there concocted a scheme to change names and personate each other. Accordingly, when called, the prisoner at the bar answered to the name of Duncan, while the real Duncan assumed the appellation of Walker, the cognomen of which Fitch had chosen for his convenience at that time. This IldfC had been kept up at the Westminster Bride well, and the prisoner actually succeeded in escaping transpor tation, having been liberated at the expiration of three montfo' inyrisonment. His companion, Duncan, was now serving the term of seven years' transportation on board the Dromedary hulk at Bermuda, whence be had writter. home the other ttav, stating his hitter repentance of the exchange he had so foolishly made, and detailing all the circumstances which, upon investi gation, were found to be true. The sentence of the Court now was, that the prisoner, William Fitch, be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten years. John Waters and Mary Ann Reed were sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and Elisa beth Thomas to four months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Pucxcx and a Bench of Magistrates.) !Ay - red Shaw, aged 26, was on Tuesday indicted for stealing, at Lambeth, a waistcoat, the property of Henry Hunt, the pro prietor of a ready-made cloches warehouse. After the evidence establishing the guilt of the prisoner had been heard, a well-dressed man, who gave the name of William Jones, stepped into the witness-box, and said that he was ac quainted with the prisoner for twelve months, and during that period knew him to be an honest and wall-conducted man. Cii.aremA w—Do you mean to .wear that you have seen the prisoner continually for the last twelve months? Nitness--1 do ; I have seen him frequently at night, and sometimes in the morning. When did you first meet him ?—ln the latter part of Septem ber last. CHALEILAN—Tken you sped positively of having seen the A MB E 7 11. FATAL CONSEQUF;CES OF INTOIICATION.—On Tuesday John Kel y, a labourer, and ENza Leek: a common prostitnie, were charged before Mr. Henry with having caused the death of their illegitimate infant, six months old. John Constable, a policeman, 4:3 L, deposed that on that morning, while o❑ duty at Tower-street station-house, a person named Saunders came there, and said he wanted him to take two persons into custody for having caused the death of their child. He accompanied Saunders to the house. No. 24, in 'tower-street, a ,d upon entering the bed-room in which the prisoners were, he found the body of a female child on the bed. Both the prisoners said they went to bed very mush intoxicated, and on awaking in the morning found the infant dead. Stephen Saunders said he had the management of a lodg ing -house, No. 24, Tower-street, and that o■ the night be fore the prisoners engaged a bed there fur the night. Both were intoxicated at the time, but having known them for some time, he did not object to let them the lodging. They went to bed with their infant, who then appeared in good health, and he braid nothing more of them until that morn ing, when the female came down stairs running, and ex claimed, " Oh, my poor child is dead." Witness went up stairs and found the female infant dead in the bed with its clothes on, and it appeared to him that it had not byen stripped alt night. In reply to the questions of Henry, the wit ness said both the prisoners seemed very much affected, parti cularly the female ; and from what he had always seen of them, he thought they were both very fond of the infant. A certificate from Mr. Wagstaff, a surgeon, who had exa mined the body of the child, was put in, and from it it appeared that the child's death had been caused by suffocation in being overlain during the night, and that there were no marks of vio lence on the body. 'f he female prisoner, who seemed to be in much grief, said that herself and her companion went to bed much intoxicated, and upon awaking that morning she placed the child at her breast, but finding it did not suckle she became much alarmed, and awoke its father, arid they then found it was demi. She ran down stairs and told the landlord as soon as she could, and shortly after the policeman came and took them into custody. Mr. HENRI- remaikod that the eve was a very shocking one, and there could be no doubt the death of the unfortunate infant had been caused by being overlain by one or other of the prisoners. He then remanded the prisoners to a future day to give time for an inquest. to be holden on the body. THE eiG HT FOR THE CHAM PIONSHIP. Tuesday this affair was brought to issue at Sutfie:d-green, in the county of Northampton, atter two adjournments, includ ing in their transit the counties of Buckingham, Oxford, and Northampton. It may, perhaps, be necessary, fur the informa tion of those who are not adepts in the mysteries of the ring, to state that this contest fur 2001. aside, the championship, and its accompanying trophy, the belt, was the result of an ancient envy and heart-burning between the competitors, this being their third tourney in the listed field. In the first Caunt was worsted, he having struck his adversary while down ; in the second Bendigo was adjudged to have lost the fight for falling without a blow ; and a third "passage of acres" would then have come off, had not a serious accident, whereby Bendigo fractured his kneecap, plated hint for a considerable period hors de combat. After lying by for upwards of two years, the last-mentioned pugilist again dared his rival, and the other responded to the call. The articles were signed, and the day fixed for Tuesday, the 9th of September. For some days previcus to the event rumour pointed to the vicinity of Newport Pagnell, in the county of Bunks, as the place whereat the fistic veiuie would be laid, and this , doubtless, was a main cause of the vexatious shifriogs of place _th e galloping. across country—the knocking-up of man and horse, and the knocking down of vehicle., which, through' ut the entire day, Linn:gilt back vividly to the fancies of ancient ring-goers, the humours of .‘ the road to the tight," as chanted by Mathews. Eleven was named as the hour, but at five minutes before ten the veteran commissary, Tom (Myer, had pitched the stakes and completed an admirable hu; er and inner ring at a place called Whaddon-field, about six miles from Stratford, which is about the same distance from New port Pagneli. Here. for two hours. slid some six t housand persons broil in a September sun ; but at five mil utes past noon a horseman. fiery hot with haste, informed the multitude that these had been migisteri , l inter ference, that the stakes must be pulled up, and the fight would not take place in Bucks. High and low, those who rode and those who padded the hoof, were quickly on the move; Strat ford is again reached, arid thence, at about hail-past one, all started to the fixture at Sutfield-preen, pasir.g through a por tion of Oxfordshire. There a second ring was formed and sur rounded by at least 10,000 persons. A long and annoying del,y now toJk place in the appointment of a referee, and it was not until the men hail been nearly an hour in the ring, that a gen tleman, a sexagenarian sportsman, well-known on the turf, in a word, " the old squire," was prevailed or, to accept the onerous and thankless office. The seconds for Caunt were Wharton and Young Molyneux, the black ; for Bendigo, Nick Ward, brother to Jein Ward, and Johnny Hannan. At five minutes to four, all being ready, the men shook hands, and threw them. selves in an attitude for THE FIGHT. On the men standing up the disparity in bulk, height, thews, sinew., and strength, was indeed fearful, Caunt standing 6 feet 2i inches, his antagonist 5 feet 9 inches; the champion's weight 14st. 81b., the Nottingham hero 1-st. 11b. Caunt looked as hard as he was big ; bendy, even at his fighting weight, looked fleshy. A little measuring of distance, feinting, and posturing took place, neither remarkable for its science or gracefulness; Gaunt seemed as eager to be at the little 'un, and " catawampously to ehaw him up," as an alligator going open-mouthed at a spaniel pup. Caunt tried both hands in succession, but Bendigo shifted, and gut cleverly away. Wild hitting on the part of Caunt, at last Bendy made his plant, and during some exchanges not remarkable for precision, the little 'un gave Caunt such a shoot over the right rye, that the purple Bendigo. Thi, fluid instantly followed. Ca unt went at him sin g dong with more haste than discretion. Bend y g ot down cleverl y to de lightavoid ftrhoemß ther Bruin's s Leeds hu g of divisionthe ; giant. fir st blood Sh forouts of uproarious settled many bets, as odds were demanded in favour of Bendigo on this single event. After thirteen rounds, Caunt began, under the direction of Wharton, his second, to let out his blows much better. He caught Bendigo on the body, but nothing to signify. Bendy broke ground, was on all sides of the ring, and at last a rally of right down hammering took place, during which, as Gaunt swung partially round from the force of a missed blow, the Nottingham hero caught him a blow on the right oye that grassed him.—( Uproarious shouting. " Who'll nave Bendy at evens?") First knock-down blow for Bendigo. The character and style of the remainder of the fight may he judged from the sample here given. Suffice it to say, that with al ernate advantages, the fight was protracted to 93 rounds, the derails of which we will spare the reader. The confusion, the outer ring being broken in, and the riotous viol nee of the crowd, made the position of umpires, referee, and reporters. anything but safe or enviable. In the 9•2,1 round, Bendigo struck Ceuta very hard in the pit of the stomach—it was a :cinder. An appeal and wrangle, was got up for the sixth or erg t time, and while several respectable men declared that Bendigo streck Caunt below the waistband, orb rs strenuously denied it ; the referee, who was almost crushed by a mob of neighs, ordered the fight to proceed, and in the 931 round, Bendigo having been partially down, sprung up, renewed the fight, and went at Caunt, the latter supposing the round finished, and probably wishing to husband his strength, certainly sat down almost deliberately. Aim her appeal was made—the umpires disagreed. and the referee decidedly and empha scaly declared that Gaunt went down withom a blow, and had lost the battle ; and thus ende,i the grand tourney in the triumph of Bendigo, after an unsatisfactory fight, which lasted two hours and eight minutes, during which 93 rounds were fought. THE ROYAL HOSPITAL SCHOOLS, GREENWICH, AND THE CALEDONIAN ASYLUM SCHOOL, I'ENTONVILLE. —On Saturday the boys of the latter school, with Captain Lamont, R.N., one of the Directors, and the officers connected with that Corporation, paid a t)dteiodn.togTehtiele together, i i l , t l l , r t e k t i i n of i n bo , t ,ll ll visit to the royal establishment at Greenwich. The weather, for g e n s i ojot, interestinghiiiestablishments w i , t r i e d in a a n r h e i l l i a e t t i t tunately, was remarkably fine, and the scene was altogether of the n a g nd de ra r r i t nearly 1,000 ; and the precision with which they went through their drill exercise, together with their happy and contented countenances, excited the admiration of a very large concourse of spectators. The contrast afforded by the dress 01 the two establishments added not little to the beauty and interest of the scene. The one being that of the Tars of Old England, whilst the others, as is well known, consists of the Royal Stuart tartan of Scotland, with the kilt and plaid of the Gael. The amusements . - /f the day were greatly heightened by the performances of the juvenile band of the Royal Hospital Schools, who, out of courtesy to their visitors, chiefly played the airs of scot land. The urbanity and kindness of Mr. Rouse, the excellent Secre tary and Superintendcnt of the Royal Schools, were conspicuous throughout the day. The Painted Hall and the Chapel were also visited by the Caledonian boys, and by way offinale to their delight ful treat, they had a run in the royal park of Greenwich. SUICIDE OF A PoRTUGUESE Elf .—Tue , lay Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Rose and Crown, Queen-street, Tower.hill, on the body of Abraham Fonseca, a Portuguese Jew, aged twenty-three years, by trade a tailor. It appeared from the evidence that deceased had for some time past been in a very low and desponding state of mind arising from his being engaged to marry a young and handsome female of his own persuasion, but he fancied that his work had become so slack that he should sot be able to maintain her with credit. On Tuesday week last he said to a fellow-workman that he should not live long, and wrote Utters to his intended and his brother, stating that when they received them he should be no more. Since that period he had disappeared, and nothing more was heard of him until his body was found yes. terday morning floating in the river off Alierman's.stairi, in a shocking state of decomposition. There being no evidence to show how he came into the water, the jury, at the suggestion of the Co- roner, returned an open verdict of—" Found drowned." BLIGFIT IN TOTII6 POTATO CKOP.—\‘ e regret to learn that the blight of the potato crop, so much com plained of in Belgium and stveral of the Irish counties, has affected the crop, and that to a considerable extent, in our own immediate locality arid the iul rounding districts. We are assured by a gentleman of vast experience that the injury sustained by potatoes from blight on his domain is very serious—that they are entirely unfit for use ; said he suggests that potatoes so injured should be immediately dug out for the use of p , gs, as, if they are allowed to remain in the ground, they will become, from the in crease of the blight or rot, useless even as food for swine.— Wateribrd Freeman.
