By Order of ithe Board, R. li. CREW, Sec. HOUSELESS POOR. A Meeting of the General Committee took place yesterday in the Poultry, for the purpose of receiving a Report of .the arrangements made at the London Workhouse. , Some time since the General Committee, anticipating the probable recurrence of severe weather,'appointed a Snh-Com mittee, with full powers to take the proper steps for opening. nightly receptacles for the houseless poor, in order IA avoid any delay when the necessity should arise for immediate'ac tion, feeling, no doubt, that in the conduct of this Charity; prOmptitode was most essentially requisite, and that what it was proper to ilo should he done quickly. The meeting was very fully attendod and the proceedings at the London Workhouse were unanimously approved. From w.statement made by the Chairman of the-House Committee (I). CAMPIIELL, ECII) it appeared that upwards of 100 per sons were sheltered on Wednesday night ; and from the regu litions laid down•(which are the result of repeated consulta tions during the whole of the summer) the Committee are satisfied that none but the really houseless hare been or are likely to be received under their care. Dr. CONQUEST, who has again kindly consented to give his assistance, stated to the Meeting, that amongst the many dig treSsed objects who on Wednesday night applied for admis sion, there was one man in the last stage of human soffering.- The extreme rigour of the weather to which this unfortun ate being had been exposed, combined with the , want of food, had reduced him to that state of exhaustion, that it Was the decided opinion of Dr. C. when he examined hiM, that he could not have survived another night, had there heels no " Refuge for the Houseress." The Committee were occupied in their interesting duty froM one o'clock until four, and amongst other important arrange ments, it was resolved to open forthwith two other receptacles in other parts of the town, Olson the same plan as that adopt ed at, the London ‘Vorkhouse. The Committee adhere to their resolution of confining their attention' to the one object of affording nightly shelter and sustenance to those who need them, considering that any thing beyond must have the un avoidable tendency to inundate the metropolis with vagrants, by attracting them from all parts of the kingdom, and recol lecting that many instanct•s occurred last winter of parish officers in country places act natty sending their own poor to London.to participate in the relief afforded by this Institution. Several hew subscriptions were announced, and the. best • pledge to the Public as to their appropriation is the known activity and humanity of those to whom their bounty is en trusted. Sir JoMC LturnocK presided. Mr. Alderman Bat Doss and Sir C. Huwert were also present., and took an active part in the deliberations of the Committee, and the zeal which ani mated the whole meeting was in the highest degree gratifying,. A remarkable occurrence took place in the Asylum on Wed nesday night :—A man who had committed a felony in a dis tant part (Attie country fled to London, and a reward was of fered fur his apprehension. An individual who was ac. qoainted with the circumstances, as well as with the person of the delinquent, pursued him. The ill-gotten property was soon dissipated by the thief, and the pursuer was not able to attain his object so) speedily as he expected. Both were in a state of destitution, and by a singular coincidence both sought shelter, at the London Workhouse. The offender was of course recognized, and as the Committee bave Police Officers in constant attendance, was immediately taken into custody. He was taken before the Lord Mayor yesterday morning,, who directed him to be sent down to the place where the offence was committed, and means will he taken to procure for the other the reward to which he is entitled. RID Phocuns—Some time ago, notice was given of the in vention of a new phoigh of peculiar qoalitire by a farmer near Nluirkirk. Since that time Mr. John Finlayson, the inventor, has made several trials of his plough upon almost every de scription of land, and being fully convinced of the great ad vantages which most result from its general use, gave a pub lie" exhibition of its operation along with a common iron plough on the 2 Ist of last month, in the following ways :- Ist, The ploughs proceeded to work on potatoe land, thickly strewed with potatoe shows, and in the course of five bouts of each, in a ridge of 130 yards, the common plough was Choaked and thrown out 39 times, whereas the other went clear throngh.-2d, They were tried on dry stubble land, strewed with long bar, and covered over with loose mould ; the com mon plough in goidg a bout and a half of a ridge of 160 yards was continually choked and thrown entirely out 9.9 times ; but the new plough proceeded 4 bouts, and wag only stopped twice, and that in consequence of a stone in the points.-3d, They were tried on the rough moor, stubble-land,:stmdt he stoppages of the cornrows one were obserVed to be itia similar ratio as before. whereas the new one regularly cleared her way. The spectators, therefore, who were.compo,ed of the most respec table and intelligent gentlemen and farmets in time surround ing country, were decidedly of ',pinion 't hat f';'lr. Finlayson's. plough is a most happy invention ; as-from its self-cleaning quality it is easier drawn, performs more work its agiven time, and produces an equally good cut on every description of land.—(Ediaburgh Courant, Jan.

Hanbp Price, a shabby-looking youngrtian, was indicted for publishing a wicked,•seditions, atid i,fliminausry libel, of and' concernitig his Royal Highness the Duke of Yolk. The Tkiiel consisted in a hand-hill, copies of which were plentifully cir culated by the defendant amongst the crowds in and 'about St. James's-square, during the residence of her Majesty -there' pending her trial. It was to this etleot : " Why, except for hire, is the Duke n Ynrlt huzzaed ? Is it for his military exploits at the Heider ?—ls it because he pocketed 10,0001. a year of the public money for visiting an Aged parent, who had been so peculiarly kind to him it because he has voted for the infamous Bill of Pains and'Pe tssgaimt the '.-t= •en, its all its stages ?" • TVete were other questions of the like nature and tendert ' 1 14,* ( te•. sf• 1;111 concluded w;tb,:-• " Let, the . huzzecrs answer these queries or hold their tongues ?". Mr. Revteotass, in his address to the Jury for.the Crown, observed, that it was fur them to declare whether the paper before them Was such as an Englishman, in the exercise of his most Undoubted right of discussing public matters, would, be jnstified in sending forth to the world, or whether it was not of such a nature, as not only to exceed the. limits of fair discussion,' but to excite disaffection in' the minds of his Majesty's subjects. The defendant, who was- a' bill sticker, was seen with a bag round his neck, distribut ing copies of this hand-bill in large numbers, and here he (N1r.11.) Toeld observe, that persons of his class entertained a notion thatthey, not being the authors co- printers of the libel, were nut liable to the conseqeences of the law; but this wasentirely a mistake, for they were the publishers of the libel, and were emia4 oven to punishnientwith those who employed them. The learned Counsel then read the libel; commenting in forcible terms upon its several passa'es, and pointing out the evil tendency that such a publication is likely to have.-- The applause with which the Royal Doke was greeted on bii passage to and from the House of Lords, during the moment tons trial of her Majesty, did not proceed front the mouths of hired persons, but was the spoetaneous ebullition of gene rous feeling with which Englishmen, when unbiassed and unperverted by designing men, always greeted per ',pus of distinguished merit like his Royal Flightless. They knew the services he had rendered his country, they knew that it was his admirable management of the Army which had advanced its character aboVe eve' y ce her its the civilised world, and had enabled it to achieve traise glorious victo ries which had led to the release of all Europe from a state . of oppression and slavery. The people knew also the atten tion which his Royal Highness had devoted to the comforts and interests of the wives and families of the soldiers, and in cheering hint whenever he appeared they were itctnated only by sentiments of admiration and of loyalty. Ile hoped it would not, even at. this time of day, be thought unfashion able to speak of loyalty, for those were egregiously mistaken, who fancied that notions of English freedom were not perfect ly reconcilable with the strongest, the most vivid feelings of loyalty anti attachment to the constituted authorities of the country. After some further observations, the Learned Counsel called Furzmae tine otlicer,and two others, wino prov ed the distribution of the bills by the defendant. . The libel was then put in and read. The defendant read a written defence, and set cut by stating that he wits totally unused to public speaking, and unacquainted even with the bortneof Cotitts of Justice. Having been a long time out of .employment. he'applied to Mr. lienbow, of the Strand, printer, who enrpluved him to stick up placards. The first was one rooting a paragraph front a Morning :Paper respecting the alteett, in whieh it wax suiei site ought to be seerifireed, 4 ‘ we care not whether' as a reartyt or a criminal ;" second giving Lord Nelson's opinion of Italian witnesses, nd several others, all upon tine subject of the Queen's trial, He read these bills, and some of them were of the must inflammatory kiwi. They'all bore the mole of Mr. lienhow as the printer, in conspisoons characters.' For publishing. the last of them before the one now the subject of charge, be was apprehend ed and taken before Mr. Minshull, the Magistrate, who did, not hold him to hail, nor even warn him that he was doing wrong. Thus lulled into security he scent on, unconscious that he Vas comeeitting any offence until he was again appre hended. The name of Mr. Dernhow seas upon this and all the other bills, bet in no one itorance had he (Mr. B.) been pro . - scented. He then read the, libel; and defended the several 'assages, denying that there was any thing ill it calculated to defame the public character of the Duke of York, or that could he called " wicked, seditious, or inflammatory." He trusted the Jury would place themselves as a shield between hint and the wily sophistry and legal ingenuity that had been exerted against him by the Counsel, whin, like the rest of the profession, was employed to make right wrong,aud wrong right. This prosecution t he averred, was instituted by persons who appeared to be endeavouring, on every occasion, to drag the weaknesses and Vices of Royalty before the public, ,and who were the worst enemies of Royalty. He contended, that the bill contained no libel on tine Duke of York, but merely asked a few plain questions, which might have been fairly replied to. He wenid leave his case in the hands of the Jury, with the firmest confidence that their verdict would be Not Guilty. Mr. REyNoLDs was about to reply, when _ .•• . The defendant submitted, that the Learned CounSel had no right attain to address the Jury, as he (defendant) had called fl Witnesses. The Confer decided, that he had the right of reply, and Mr. REYNoLus addressed the Jury at considerable length. The J ury retired for ',a' short-tirne; , and returned a Verdict of Guilty. CHARGE OF RIOT AND ASSAULT, Henry Heald, a young man 14 respectable appearance, was indicted for riotously assembling with other persons, in the parish of St. - Martin in the Fields, with intent to create a riot and breach of the pence. In.a second count he stood cha!ged with assaulting James %Win, a cunstable,in the exe cution of his duty, and in a third count with a common as sault. Messrs. REYNOLDS and ROLLAND were Counsel for the Crown, and Mr. ANnuEws appeased for the Defendant. The case arose out of the arrest Of Mr. Mills in St. James's square, in August last, while addressing the people assembled opposite the Queen's house. Mr. REYNuLus addressed the Jury, and called the following witnesses:— James Walin, a Bow street patrule, deposed, that he was one of the party employed to apprehend Mills, and when the latter was captured, they were followed by a crowd on their way to Bow street ofilec. In CockspOr street, 'several of the mob thing hticks, and there were cries of " Rescue, rescue him front the Munn-hounds." When arrived at (Amino.- cross, Nit. Mills was put into a coach, in order to avoid the mob, and just Opposite the Hungerfuril Coffee-lonise, a'brick passed close by the ' witness's face, and looking round, he saw the defendant with Isis arsn raised, aud a piece of !nick yet in his hand. He was then head of the mob, booting ante groaoitig, but witness rushed at bins, and took him into custody. William Wootton, another patrole, stated, that he saw the defendant active in the crowd, and-heard him groan, and tali. out. He did not see him throw any thing. Mr. ANbaews addressed the Jury, and observed, that under all the circumstance., it wostld be dangerous for them to pro. naduce the defendant guilty , nod stibject hi:n to the heavy punishment which must necessarily await such an offence as the one char4ed. He was instructed to say, that. the de-. fendant WA9 a young man of respectable character anil quiet' demeanour, and on the day in question was going about his lawful_ business, When he was interrupted in bit progress by tlse crowd following Mr. Mills. He.washustied, i.nd desired to pull oil his hat, for the Queen was coming; and he did so to save himself from violen c e, ()sit took nO' part in the acts of the crowd. He (Mr. Andrews): wool(' put it to the ./iny whether it was nut quite possible that Walin was mAtalien as to identity. .. The defendant, in addition to the remarks of his Counsel, solemnly protectud his innocence. He was observed 'several tisi s i.s to shed trays. The .i!try, with little besltation j pronounced the defendant Nut Guilty.

About the 17t1t year of his age, he got accidentally ac quainted widen -Captain in the navy, - for - wlfonr he had form such a friendship, that he was jounced to go with him to . sea, where he continued better than four years, during which he was ilt various parts of the•world, 'am" received much civi lity, attention, and kindness, from the inhabitants of the le.. spective ports at which he touched. _Mr. Talbot had beconte so acenstomed to the ship, that, altlosogh of an intricate rig ging, be hat- beettiirten seen Auing-trou rope to rope to the mast head, with all the agility and skill of sot experienced seaman.'

Indeptitolent of this; he has. ineneased its power of forniing and combining harnionions sounds, by various adhitional keys, and by other very elegant and oii4inal iniprovements. Of his execution on the pipes, the Irish nation -have had a long experience; arid it roust he admitted, that his taste, if. equalled, has seldom keen surpassed, in the pet tormance of almost alt those favourite airs which hare givelesuch deserstek , celebrity to our nati-e bards. In the city of Dublin, where he resided for Many years, his performance was greatly .sought after and 'applauded, as was manifested by the large resort of company to the• houses where he played.
