Prithee do not reject us Till you've read our Prospectus. Early in this month will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR - NAL, which it has been determined shall be called T E WORLD. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable • sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by r way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do; while the other would have en , shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our ey es to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our -mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had en , migh to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bat his style would have been too spark liiag and light for us; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tiallew and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair :should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted ns to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out f k city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast ; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants fur the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man alone loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ' • for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of th e Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—." the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carrvers y of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designates the whole concern " A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailers say, but " non nester hie sernio." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put suc h an i n t e ll ec t ua l ve hi c l e u p on th e road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel —and if dumb, for debt." We sha always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never likely to be 4, realized — My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and s h a ll oppose &Premier, be he Whig, Tory, or Rsdical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary, when he resists the cßoalnlsocti;e i — ot or o e si v:n so amiable and e nli g htened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when h e seems h alf disinclined to gr ant an increase of popular privil e g es to the Ir ish people. rally h appy and con t ente d un til she again has the advantage believing that Ireland never c an be come gene_ of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, asm y o t r h e eg li„htbrigade beneficial i ga d t Irelando e o of wi t t h a a n n d t hheuSister . kingdom. aided b not We will brine. into the fi e ld th e h eav y artillery of reason, Pursuing "the even tenor of We shall be staid with the stead " From gray:: our way," we shall "run on glittering like a brook in ther ' mfriormthfluivlowyittoh severe."

Love is the end and sum of life, creating images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually'cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired; equally contemning unfeeling empy ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should re store; and, on the other hand, that unworthy principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrassment of the afflicted.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor 13. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF THE PARISH or FORDHAM. This was an appeal against a rate for the relief of the poor made upon the inhabitants of the parish of Fordham. The Justices at Sessions quashed the rate on the ground of informality, subject to the decision of the Court above. Mr. GREENING and Mr. BYLES appeared in sup port of the order of Sessions, and Mr. ANDRYWII in support of the rate. The question in the case was whether the rate had been made in conformity with the provisions of the Act of Parliament, which was argued at considerable length. Lord DENMAN said in this case there were two rates, one made on the 3d of July, and the other on the 21st of August, both of which had been quashed on appeal to the Sessions. It appeared to him, on a review of all the argument, that the Sessions had done wrong in quashing the first rate on the ground.of informality, the Act clearly not contemplating that a rate should be void for non. compliance with the minute details to which the attention of the Court had been directed. The Court, therefore, was of opinion that the order of :Ses sions as to the first rate must be reversed, and as to the second rate, that it be confirmed. BAIL COURT, Nor. 13. (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) THE QUEEN V. WATFS. In this case a rule for a criminal inrormation was granted a few days ago by the full Court, and Sir F. POLLOCK now applied for an enlargement of the rule. The affidavit stated that the application was not made for delay, but for the bona fide purpose of obtaining such affidavits as the defendant believed would enable him to discharge the rule. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Wh a t is the rule ? Sir F. PoLLocir said it related to some transactions which took place on board a vessel, and it was necessary to obtain affidavits from persons residing at Portsmouth, and others engaged in the naval service elsewhere. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—When do you wish to en large it to. Sir F. POLLOCK did not wish to enlarge it beyond the present term without making another application to the Court. He believed the defendant would be able to procure the affidavits in time to bring on the matter the lastiday but one before the end of term, and he pro posed to file the affidavits the day before. His LORDSHIP granted the application. THE QUEEN V. HAMMOND—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir W. FOLLETT moved for a rule to show came why a criminal information should not be filed against Robert Hammond, Esq., one of the Magistrates of the county of Buckingham, and a Captain in her Majesty's Navy. He made the application on behalf of Mr. James Smith, who resided at Maidenhead. It appeared that some time ago a sale took place of effects belonging to a per. son named Cape!, and that Mr. Smith authorised the auctioneer to purchase lot 105, which consisted of a statue and a cast. The auctioneer's clerk, afterwards, by mistake, sold it to Mr. Hammond, to whom applica tion was made for the return of the statue. Mr. Ham mond refused, and an action was commenced, in conse quence of which the figure was given up, and Mr. Hammond ultimately paid the costs. Some time after. wards an anonymous letter was received by Mr. Smith, purporting to come from " Diana, the image"—(Laughter)—stating that he was "a d—d, confounded, stinking, pettifogging lawyer, and no gen tleman," and regretting her misfortune to belong to such a blackguard.—(Laughter.) A second letter from the fair correspondent of Mr. Smith, described him as the " dirty, stinking, quintessence of a pole cat."— (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Smith suspected the letter to have come from Mr. Hammond, but of this a distinct denial took place, and, on the 9th of September, Mr, Smith received a letter from Mr. Hammond to the JO lowing effect : " [should not have taken the trouble to write, had I not been informed that you accused me of writing certain anonymous letters, which I feel bound to repel ; and, to show that I have not the slightest wish to con ceal my opinion of you, I tell you you are a liar and a blackguard, and a mean, dirty scoundrel, and would suffer your nose to be pulled round the street any day for a sovereign." Mr. Smith believed the letter was intended to provoke a breach of the peace, and therefore made the present application.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. JOSEPH JOPINSON.--CRIMINAL IN FORMATION. Sir W. FOLLETT applied on behalf of a gentleman named Henry Lawson, for a criminal information against the defendant for charging him and his family with larceny. The charge arose out of certain proceed ings under the will of Mr. Bland, of Liverpool, of which they were the joint trustees, along with another party.—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 13. POZANSKI V. LAWSON THE " TIMES " )--RIGHT OF FOREIGNTRS TO FIRING ACTIONS OF LIBEL IN THIS COUNTRY. Mr. SMITH appeared to argue a demurrer to the plea of defendant in this case. It was an action for libel against the Times. The declaration stated that plaintiff was a " dragoman," or interpreter, at the Ottoman Court, with which the British Court had been some time, and was now at peace. That more over he was one of five dragomans selected for employ ment by Lord Ponsoaby, our Ambassador at Constan tinople—that the office of interpreter at the British Enabassage is one of trust and emolument —that the plaintiff was chief of the five—and that in this capacity he had been slandered by defendant. The plea was that at the time of the grievances complained of, and at the present time, plaintiff was and is resident at Constantinople, out of the dominion of this country—that he had never been naturalized, or made a denizen in this country—that he had never been subject to the laws or to the Crown of Great Britain, and that he owed no allegiance to our Lady the Queen—and moreover that he was not a merchant trading to this country. The Learned Counsel contended that it would be very unjust to allow foreigners to be slandered with impunity in this country, and proceeded to argue that there was no authority for such a doctrine; he cited a case so early as Edward VI., where it was said that an alien might maintain actions personal in the Courts of this country. Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL—But in that case the plaintiff might have been a merchant trading to this country, and that is excluded by the form of the plea. Mr. SMITH said he would only then cite it to show that generally alienage was not a bar to personal actions in this country. And he trusted that their Lordships would not restrain and confine this liberty by any strict limitations, but continue it liberally. There were many cases to show that in cases of this kind, the benefit of a doubt should be given to a plaintiff, and that a plea of such a nature was considered odious. When Mr. Smith had finished, the COURT called on defendant's counsel. Mr. HUMPHREYS said he was with Mr. Platt who unfortunately was engaged in a cause in the Exchequer. At ter some discussion, it was agreed to by the Court to take another case in the meantime. Mr. PLATT in the course of the day atgued for the plea of alienage on behalf of the defendant. But after a long and elaborate address of the Learned Gen tleman, _ The COURT considered that plea bad, and gave udgment for the plaintiff. ARCHES COURT, Nov. 12. (Before Sir H. JENNER.) CHURCH-RATEi.--THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED BY THE SUIT OF VICAT AND HAWES, JUN., CRURCH WARDENS OP THE PARISH OF CHRISTCHURCIS. SURREY, V. APSLEY PELLATT. This is a cause of substraction of Church -rates, which came before the Court in the first Session of the present term, upon the question of the admissibi lity of the libel, when Dr. Addams appeared on behalf of the promoters of the suit, and the defendant, Mr. Pellatt, attended personally. Various objections were then urged to the legalityof the rate, and also to his being charged with its payment, because, under the general law, the occupier of a house is liable to pay the rates, whereas he was charged as the owner or landlord of the houses for which he was rated, and also that a com position alleged in the libel to have been made him un der the provisions of a local Act of Parliament, 51st Geo. 111. c. 32, was void as regarded Church -rates, because the Act in question had no reference to rates imposed for the maintenance and repair of the church, but only to those to which were levied for the relief of the poor, and other such general purposes of the pa rish. Upon these points the Learned Judge, Sir Her bert Jenner, reserved his opinion. The LEARNE D J UDGE this day proceeded to givejudg ment. After s t a ti ng t h e preliminary proceedi ngs upon which the quest i on came b e fore the Cou r t, h e said sthtaattutte 51 Geo.besecond alrltil., eleci.n3t2l: which was a pr i vate and libel turned upon the local Act, and which was not, therefore, included in the statutes at large, and with a copy of which the Court had not been supplied until the cause came on for argument. It had in consequence become neces sary that the Court should consider the effect of its clauses, and as no sufficient opportunity had been af forded him of doing so in Court, he had been com- COOPER V WICKIIAII. This is a criminal proceeding, in the form of arti cles promoted by the Rector of the parish of Shepton Mallett, against Mr. F. Cooper, for violation of his duty as Churchwarden, in having voted agai ns t a rate of twopence i n th e poun d f or the necessary repairs of the Church, and in supporting a resolution condemna tory of any rates for the maintenance of a church. The proceedings were originally commenced in the Consis tory Court of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and a libel was there opened pleading the notice and meet ing of the Vestry, the motion for a rate of 2d. in the pound, and the proposal of the following resolution— " That Church -rates are bad in principle, unjust in' practice, and totally uncalled for at the present time, and that therefore the meeting adjourn all consideration of the question unto this day twelvemonths." The allegation also pleads that Mr. Cooper, in neglect of his duties as churchwarden, voted in favour, of the resolution, which was, on a division, carried by a' majority of 37 ; the numbers being, in favour of the rate, 198 ; in favour of the resolution, 235. The alle gation was admitted in the court of Bath and Wells, and an appeal as to its admissibility had been carried into this (the superior) Court on behalf of Mr. Cooper, the party cited. The question now came on for hearing. Dr. Addams and Dr. Curteis appeared for Mr. Cooper; Dr. Haggard and Dr. Jenner on the other side. The Court, observing the course of the arguments, adjourned the discussion that fresh information might be obtained as to the amount which would be produced by a rate of twopence in the pound, and also as to the man ner in which the motions were put at the meeting of the vestry. Under these circumstances we defer our report of the arguments. COUNTY COURT OF REQUESTS. polled to reserve his judgment. The first article in the libel pleaded the making of the Church -rat e at a vestry meeting of the churchwardens and parishioners of the parish, duly assembled by virtue of notice given, and that at the meetine, which took place on the 21st of June, it was agreed that a rate of 2d. in the pound should be assessed. Some objections were made to the admissibility of the libel by Mr. Pellatt, founded on observations and on circumstances alleged to have taken place, which were not properly brought before the Court, and which, therefore, could not be taken into consideration. The second article was, that Mr. Pellatt, at the time and before the making of the rate, was the landlord and owner of certain houses, and then the Act was referred to, in order to justify the Churchwardens in having assessed him as land lord and not as ocupier of those houses. Now, an objection was taken to this, that the Act did not apply to Church-rates at all, and that Mr. Pellatt was not therefore bound by a composition which he had made with the Churchwardens for the payment of rates under the provisions of that Act. The great question was this—whether, as landlord or owner, Mr. Pellatt was liable to pay the rates, or whether they ought not to have been assessed on the occupier, and not on the landlord. There could be no doubt that, by the general law, the occupiers were the proper persons to be rated, and not the landlord or owner ; and the question would be whether, under the circumstances stated, Mr. Pellatt was liable, under any engagement of his own, to pay the rates, and whether, under the Act of Parliament, the rate was properly laid on him. He (the Learned Judge) had looked carefully through the Act, and he could not find that it applied to Church-rates. Its provision s certainly had no reference to Church -rates; but they were confined to those rates which were made for the relief of the poor and for the general purposes of the parish, and certain commissioners were appointed for objects which were pointed out. It was clear, therefore, that so for as the Act went Church-rates were not included within its provisions. It was intituled, " An Act for better assessing and col lecting the poor and other rates in the parish of Christ church, Surrey, for better regulating the poor thereof, and for cleansing, watching, lighting, and otherwise im proving the streets, lanes, and other public passages and places in the said parish, and for other purposes relating thereto," and in its recitals and provisoes nothing was contained which went to extend its ob jects beyond those referred to in the title. It applied to all rates which it mentioned specifically, but there was nothing in it with respect to Church -rates, and un doubtedly they were not comprehended within its in tent and meaning. Besides, if they had been, that Court would not have had jurisdiction, because the rates im posed under its provisions, were directed to be reco vered in a particular way before a Justice. The second article in the libel, therefore, was not such as to render Mr. Pellatt liable for the rates which had been assessed upon him in respect of these houses, of which he was not the occupier, but was the landlord or owner. But it might be for the Court to consider the question of the houses themselves, for it was intended no doubt by the articles to show that they were within theAct.ln the articles it was said that before and at the time of making the rate Mr. Pellatt was landlord and owner of one house let to weekly tenants, and of two houses let to yearly tenants, and that these three houses were under the yearly value of 2001. ; and then it was also said that he was landlord and owner of six houses let to weekly tenants, and that for these houses Mr. Pellatt had, at some time or other (for the time was not named) proposed or agreed to compound as well for the Church•rates as for the other rates due from these houses, and that a certain composition was made. He saw clearly enough, from the manner in which this was alleged, that the parties supposed themselves entitled to proceed under the provisions of the Local Act of Parliament, and the particular sections which had re ference to this part of the subject were those from the 59th to the 63d inclusive. The 59th section was, that when the annual value of any house in the parish should not exceed 201., the landlord should make a composi tion with the commissioners for such rates as might be assessed upon it ; and again it was also provided that when the houses should be let to weekly or monthly tenants, or when the rent should be payable at periods shorter than quarterly, then the landlord should be assessed, and not the occupier, and he was required to make a composition for the rates. Now, applying this to the houses for which Mr. Pellatt had been rated, it was evident that the assessment had been made with reference to the Act of Parliament. But the Act, as he before said, did not apply to Church rates,and this circumstance could have no effect,therefore, upon the question. Then it was alleged that a compo sition had been made in reference to the rates, and he must say that he thought that if such a composition had been made in reference to the other rates, it would re main in force, and it was not necessary to make a new composition for every fresh rate. But the composition was alleged in very loose terms, and he was of opinion that there was nothing stated in the articles which could in any way bind Mr. Pellatt to consent any longer to the proposition which he was alleged to have made. The Court, therefore, thought that Mr. Pellatt being impro perly assessed in respect of houses of which he was the owner and not the occupier, the amount claimed of him in respect of them must be deducted from the general account charged against him ; but at the same time, as he was himself the occupier of two of the houses for which the rates were assessed, the claim for them must remain, and the Court could not reject the articles as altogether bad. The Court would therefore refer back the libel to be amended as to this point, and also as to the other parts to which he had referred, and which were necessary to be altered with regard to this case. The Court might, upon grounds hereafter shown by Mr. Pellatt, declare the rate to be invalid ; but they could not, in the present stage of the proceedings, come to that conclusion. Ile understood that a case of the same description had oc curred before the Consistorial Court of Rochester, in which the same point was in some degree involved ; but that the Learned Judge had there refused to say any thing upon the subject, because the point did not appear upon the libel. The present case was of a dif ferent character, for here the objection arose upon the face of the libel. Mr. PELLATT hoped that the Court would award him the costs under the circumstances. Sir H. JENNER, however, said that that was an ap. plication which he could not at present entertain, bu which must await the final result of the cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Two boys, named John Cook and Thomas Dell, et ho are well known to the police, were charged on suspicion with breaking and entering the Duke of York public house, Shire-lane, Temple-bar, and stealing therefrom, the sum of 31. 10s., with other monies, the property of Mr. George Faulkner, the landlord. It appeared from the evidence, that, on Saturday night, some thieves entered the shop by a back window and plundered the till, taking with them a quantity of money,which lay on the shelf in the bar. On Tuesday sight, about seven o'clock, the prisoners were observed in the passage by the servant, and the prisoner Dell pointed up to the window, saying to the other, " that's the place where we had the game on Sunday morning. Informa tion being given to the prosecutor that they were lurking about the premises, he went into the yard to make search, and finding one of them in the water-closet, and the other crouched up in another part of the yard, he took them into custody. Mr. Faulkner said that he had reason to suppose the prisoners formed part of a gang of thieves who are con stantly seen after nightfall watching to enter and con ceal themselves in houses until the inmates retire to rest, and if they were remanded a further discovery might be made. The prisoners denied the charge, and they were or dered to be brought up again in a week. James Levy, having the appearance of a porter, was charged by a man named Holmes, describing himself as a musician, residing in Great Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn fields, with stabbing him in the temple with a knife. It appeared that the prisoner's wife not finding mat ters go on as she wished at home, placed herself and her children under the protection of the prosecutor, who is a cripple, unable to move unless by the help of crutches, and he is continually annoyed by his threats. Last night while the prosecutor was amusing the children with a fantasia on the violin, he heard a gentle tap at his parlour door, and on his calling out " walk in," the prisoner opened the door, drew a tremendous knife, and rushing at the prosecutor he inflicted a severe wound in his head, threatening to do for him, until be was ejected from the room. The prisoner said he had only gone to see his wife who had deserted him for the cripple, and took his chil dren from him, but h denied committing the assault. Mr. TWYFORD ordered him to be fully committed on the capital charge. Mr. Bailey, a solicitor, of Basinghall-street, City, at tended on behalf of a lady named Latour, whose con nection with the defendant had given rise to the present proceedings. The complainant, Mr. Thomas Battersby, No. 23, Dorset-place, New-road, deposed that on the same morning, between five and six o'clock, he heard a loud knocking at the door, and on opening it he beheld the defendant, who said he wanted to see his children. He forced himself in, and he (complainant) was violently assaulted by him and abused in the passage. A con stable came in, and he was given into custody. Mr. Conn—Have you any children of his at 'your house ? Complainant—A Mrs. Latour has occupied apartments at my dwelling for about three months, and she has two children with her. She referred me to a very respectable lady in St. James's-square as to her character and connections, and I was perfectly satisfied. Mr. Bailey here stated that the defendant and Mrs. Latour had lived together for some years ; and that, as the means of the former had latterly become very limited, the connection was looked upon by both as unsatisfac tory ; and during his (defendant's) absence from Clif- Mr. Paley, the ba rr i s t er , p resen t e d hi mse lf before ton, at which place they had be en res idi ng together, she Mr. Serge an t H EATH , i n t h e nove l pre di cament o f ( Mrs. Latour) thought proper to separate from him, counsel in hi s own case , t o d e f en d an act i on f or 10 s., and, coming to London with the children, took lodgings being th e b a l ance o f a bill of' 21. claimed by a labou r i ng i n Ju mvn-street.

It was not true that he committed +ha ving one cask, cleansing another, with a host of et ceteras, were all enumerated ; and, according to the plaintiff's conscientious belief, with the addition of his work and skill, the charge he had made of 21. was just and reasonable. " It is not the value of the 10s. which dictates my resistance to this person's demand," observed Mr. Paley, " it is because, from the best evidence I have been able to collect, I am strongly of opinion that the charge of 21. is an imposition." The wheelwright came forward—H e had inspected the water-cask, and his estimate for such another job was 7s for the iron work, and a guinea for timber and labour. " That, I suppose, would be your charge," said Mr. Sergeant HE ATH , " t o a tradesman or a mechanic, who had to get a profit on the job. But now suppose a gentleman ordered' such a machine of ou, would you not make a difference in your charge ?" " Why," said the wheelwright, evading a direct reply, " I should like to have a good price for my labour." " Suppose now, for instance, you had used a pair of gudgeons, what would be your price for them." Wheelwright—Eightpe nce a piece. Mr. Sergeant HEATH—Recollect they are to be fur nished to a gentleman. Wheelwright—Fourpen ce more in that case. " Then," said the Learned Sergeant, looking at the bill, the plaintiff has made exactly the same charge. Now for a couple of iron thimbles, how much ?" Wheelwright Sixpence each, and fourpence for screws. Mr. Sergeant HEATH—Is that the gentleman's price ? Wheelwright —Twopence more for a gentleman. Mr. Sergeant HEATH—WeII, you are within two-' pence of what the plaintiff has charged. " But," interposed the learned defendant, who with the tact of a true lawyer, saw that his case was fast sailing to the north,' " this man is ready to swear he will make a cask and barrow for 28s. " He may say so," replied Mr. Sergeant HEATH, " for he may, perhaps, want a cheap job —or he may be a bad judge. Let us try him." The LEARNED SERGEANT took up his pen. Mr. Paley pulled out his gold pencil-case and prepared to figure. Item by item was duly put down at the wheel wright's own prices. Cocker's arithmetic was beating the Learned Barris ter rapidly out of Court. " Why," said Mr. Sergeant HEATI, pausing, " we have already got nine shillings for iron work, and twenty three shillings for wood and work. 'We have not done yet. You see, Mr. Paley, your witness must evidently have made a mistake in his calculation. If you can convince the Jury to the contrary—and lam sure no one can address a Jury with more ability—the Court is quite ready to hear you." Mr. Paley, in his address, proceeded to show that though " gudgeons" had been used to the barrow, he was not " flat fish" enough himself to submit to im position ; that though " thimbles" had been relied on to swell the amount of the charge, he was determined to go " stitch through" with the matter. " Screws" had also been plentifully supplied, but he was not going to retaliate by attemptin g to " screw" the plaintiff if the charge was a just one, The Learned Gentleman's owu reasons for ob jecting to the bill were, that he did not choose to be " laughed at for a fool," by paying an exorbitant de mand. The wheelbarrow water-cask was defective, in asmuch as it would not swing with sufficient celerity, and the machine was made so large that it could not be drawn down a particular locality. Now as the wheel wright had proved that he could make a machine as good as the one in dispute, with all its good qualities, and none of its defective ones, for 285., he thought he was entitled to ask the Jury to reduce the plaintiff's demand. Mr. Sergeant HEATH, in a few words, disposed of the summing up. The witness, on the part of the defence, had broken down, and the Jury were to decide upon the amount due to the plaintiff.

Mr. CoDD said he c ou ld come to no decision about the child ren ; that matter must be settled in another way ; all that he had in the present instance to do was to bind the defendant over to keep the peace. He was then required to enter into his own recog nizoncPs in 2001., and to find two sureties in the sum of 1001. each. siiVLRITIES TO WIVITLOVETT, TO THE .EDI7'OR OF HE SUN - ~ SlR—The " reputed severities" practised towards the Chartist prisoners in the different prisons, espe e'ally those in Wales, have been repeatedly adverted to in your paper. Perhaps, Sir, you will allow me to aequaint you and your readers with the. present dietary of the noble-minded and truly virtuous William Lovett, now in Warwick Gaol, presuming you can have no ob jection to know the truth. I beg to state, that my friend Lovett had been for a long time previous to his trial in a very delicate state of health, and . that he,s been confined to hi s b ed in the infirmary &lice his a n .. prisonment ; judge, then, of the severity of those who are his keepers—the Secretary of State and the Go vernor of his residence --when ou learn that in no day of the week has he animal food, or aught as a fair substitute ; but, that there may be no charge of exag geration, here follows the dietary :-Bread, one poLand a halt d a il y ; t h ree p i nts of gruel (alias ?•kiily); soup, Sundays and Wednesdays; and five days in the week one pound of potatoes each day. All " excellent" no doubt. Of the soup it is on!y necessary to that a spoon ful of each serving has been quite sufficient! , Once in three months an interview xilh his wife for one hour, a turnkey being witness ; no letters but such as going out or coming in pass through the Governor's hands ; no newspapers of any description, books, but such as have passed the ordeal of a salaried chaplai►n's inspection ! These, Sir, are not " reputed" but real " severities ;" and such deeds as cause many hearts to ardently pray for the end of a system, the marked characteristic of which is, that there is "one law for the rich, and another for the poor."

[Mr. Cleave will see that we have made two or three slight alterations in this Letter.] ST PANCRAS LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION. A lecture on the Nervous System and Phreno logy, was delivered to the members of this Institu tion, on Friday evening, by W. Jones, Esq. (Sur- geon to the Skin Infirmary, es:c.) The Lecturer demonstrated the gradual develop ment of the nervous system, from the simple ani malcula to the intellectual man. In man, he ob served, the nervous system comprises two distinct systems, mutually dependent on each other, yet mutually capable of having their reciprocal action suspended during a limited period. These two systems are the centre spinal, formed by the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves emanating therefrom, and the sympathetic, or ganglionic system, formed by a double chain of nervous masses lodged on either side of the spinal column withi n the body, and giving off nerves in every direction. To the former he referred voluntary sensation, motion, reason, intellect, and the faculties of the mind : to the latter involuntary sensation, impulse, and pas sion. The latter presided over all the phenomena which can influence the existence of the individual, was ever on the alert, and in the moment of dan ger immediately gave notice to its fellow labourer;, the former judged of the danger, and regulated the motions of the individual, so as to shun or avoid it. The involuntary system, closely allied with the twin sisters Pleasure and Pain, gave rise to that instinctive selfishness, self-love, or love of life, which uncontrolled gives origin to all our passions, and is alike capable of inducing the most exalted pride or the most submissive modesty. The sym pathetic system was more developed in woman than in man, because to her was allotted the province of supplying life to a new being previous to its inde pendent existence ; and under the influence of this over-abundant system her sensibility is more exqui site, her passions more acute, her judgments more prompt—she seems to be rather a creature of im pulse than of reflection. - The Lecturer illustrated his discourse with a numerous selection of very effective drawings, and interspersed it with some curious anecdotes show ing the influence of preternatural development of particular portions of the brain, and the powerful influence of the passions on the mind of man. - • • • r 11 47 7 1 Jr - , „In .

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER. —There was no material change in our market yesterday ; the prices of yarn generally continue to droop, and lower rates were in many instances sub mitted to. Some inquiry for printing cloth manifested itself during the day ; but we believe it was chiefly from speculators, who were tempted by the low prices ; and the business done was not to such an extent as to pro, duce any improvement in the current rates. One (Jr two additional failures have been announced ; but th e y are not of a nature to cause much sensation in. the market. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, Noy. 11. There has been rather more business doing to-day than last Monday; but the prices have been ruinously low. The wool market has been dull as usual, with the prices a shade lower. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, Nov. 12.—This market was as much depressed as any for some time past ; but we could not ascertain that the disastrous American news had much effect. The difficulties at borne had already done enough to paralyze and put a stop to com mercial operations. Very few goods were sold, and few purchases of the raw material were made. Prices are nominally the same; but there is a general downward tendency The warehouses and shops exhibit an un usual state of inactivity. Every week increases the number of unemployed operatives. THE DISGRACEFUL SCENE AT GUILDHALL. —I feel myself ca ll e d upon, as a Conservative member of the Corporation present at the Lord Mayor's inau guration dinner, to repel the accusation that the ex pressions of disapprobation which arose on the proposal of the health of her Majesty's Ministers proceeded from members of the Corporation. However much these gentlemen may disapprove of the political course of Lord Melbourne and his colleagues, they were bound to recollect, and did recollect, that in that ball they could not, consistently with the dues of hospitality to their guests, further express their feelings than by re fusing to join in the applause of those of contrary opi nions. I enclose you my name and address, and remain, Sir, your obedient servant.—Correspondent ofthe Morn ing Chroxicle. 7 MRS. GORE'S " PREFERMENT." —Indepen dent'', of the leading object—the exposure of the abuse, of Church patronage—this new novel abounds in clevr,r sketches illustrative of the follies of the day. The Yachting Dandy—the Parisian Sporting Men--the Serious Dowager and her pet Pope—the Fashionable Chaplain —the Peerage-conning Old Maid—the Crack brained Geographer —and the Lion-i,unter—all these and many other equally entertaining characters figure in its lively pages. DR. HAMILTON.—It is with deep regret we announce that Dr. Hamilton, the distinguished Pro fessor of Midwifery in our University, has, in conse quence of bad health, resigned t he chair, w hi c h he has filled with so much honour to himself, and advantage to the community for nearly half a century, T his; is not the proper time to speak of Dr. Hamilton's merits as a teacher, or as a practitioner, but we may, with propriety, say that his reti rement will occasion a vacancy which it will be difficult to fill D up. r. Hamilton has tendered his resignation in such a man: ner, as leaves the Town Council ample time to look about for a successor ; and they will, we doubt not, act with the caution and deliberation which the import ance of the occasion requires.—Edinburgh Paper. It is very remarkable that the 45th should hay - been twice in fierce conflict with the disturbers of thei /, country's peace since the regiment came from India, and - I within the last year and a half—first at Blean-woad, Canterbury, where a party of the 45th defeated the desperate fanatic Courtney, otherwise Thom, and his followers ; but Lieutenant Bennctt lost his life in the encounter, by a pistol-shot from their leader, who fell himself immediately after by a gunshot from a soldier of the 45th. On the second occasion, Lieutenant Gray and a party of the same regiment repulsed a more fol.- naidable body of rioters at Newport, and with luckier effect, keeping in mind the fate of Lieutenant Bennett Lieutenant Grey, who c on d uc t e d th e ga llant defence o f feete s the Ma g i s tr a t es an d th e i n h a bi tants , i s a native o f our neighbourhood.—Limerick Ch ron i c le- DOVER.—On Monday, a few minutes b e f ore were very much minutes, an velocity, ei t o heeinty , if p oss ibl e, i mmediately afterwards it ebbed, rushing , boiling, and high w o a t t water, a sudden number ri s i o n f g e p f e rtshoen tide,s at let two sur prised in the space of about fi ve foami ng through the bridgeway withgreater than when the sluices are running ; and for some little time suspen ded the operation of shutting th e gates, which the harbour workmen were about effecting.
