The Chair will be taken at Eleven o'clock punctually. JOSEPH CROUCIIER, Secretary. Central Committee-room, Guildhall Hotel, Aug. 31, 1844. THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, ON coming to town this morning I found that there had been a mistake in announcing " Monday next" as the day for holding the Common Hall for the Election of Chamber lain, and that THURSDAY NEXT, the sth September, is the day fixed for that purpose. I greatly regret that any error should have occurred in this respect, and avail myself of the earliest opportunity of correcting it. The public meeting of my Friends will be held on Monday next, at Ten for Eleven o'clock, at the London Tavern, as originally proposed. - It only remains that I should renew my assurances of gratitude for the very favourable progress of the canvass, and urge upon you that you will not relax in your exertions in my behalf. With much respect, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your devoted and obliged Servant, ANTHONY BROWN. Central Committee-room, Guildhall Hotel, 31st August, 1144. TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON. GENTLEMEN, THE intelligence of the sudden and lamented death of Sir William Heygate, late Chamberlain of your ancient City, has created a vacancy iu that office. I hasten to an nounce to y,:u my intension of becoming a Candidate for your suf frages. fregret that the time fixed for the election Is too short to allow me to commence a personal canvass, but I trust the zeal and energy of my friends will induce them to rally round me, and supply my deficiency in that respect. For thirty years I have been a Liveryman. I was elected an Alderman in 1823, I filled the Office of Sheriff, and by your kind and distinguished favour I was twice elected and served for two years as Lord Mayor. . . My ancestors were all citizens, although it is stated that my honourable opponent, Alderman Brown, is my senior, yet he was only elected Alderman about twenty-one mouths prior to myself. We served together the office of Sheriff. I will not allude to past services rendered to your City, or to the Li very arid people at large, farther than to express my belief that the Livery are too generous to forget them. I feel assured they will not fall to reward those who have, at great personal sacrifice, endeavoured to promote, to the best of their humble ability, the interests of the City, and to advance and establish those great principles which aro essentially necessary to the enjoyment of personal, commercial, poli tical, and religious freedom. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, JOHN KEY. Cheltenham, August 30. TO THE LIVERY OF THE WORSHIPFUL COMPANY OF GROCERS.

The French Government has at last published a dispatch from Morocco. It is from the Prince DE JOINvu.LE, and we are glad to find that the young Admiral details the operations before Tangiers and Mogadore without any boasting, and professes that the only object of the squadron before these places is peace. We have no fault to find with the dispatch. On the whole, it is creditable to the Prince; and though he attacked Tangiers before the return of Mr. RAY, the English Consul, from the Court of Morocco, the fault, acce - ding to his showing, does not lie with In the Times of yesterday appears an able letter addressed by a clergyman to the Bishops of Eng land and Wales on the subject of the present demo ralised condition of the poor, wherein the writer en deavours to enlist the sympathy of the Rev. Prelates in behalf of the more helpless and destitute members of their flocks, and warns them that the time is for ever past when they can, without imminent hazard to the best interests of the Establishment, neglect their duties as churchmen, or discharge them—as was for so many years the case—in a spirit of sullen coldness and indifference. " Connected as the Church is with the State," observes our Contemporary's Correspon dent, " the people have merely a right to consider that Church as in a great measure entrusted with the guardianship of its moral health ; we are as watch men, whose duty it is to proclaim the existence of whatever may tend to undermine that health. The poor look to us as those whose acknowledged calling points them out as friends of the needy, defenders of the oppressed. My Lords, is it not most true that the seeds of moral contamination are being daily sown amongst a very large proportion of the poor of our flocks ? We cannot close our eyes to the fact, that there is that at work which is fast weaning the affections of the labouring poor from those above them. Their common rights are fast passing from them, the labourer will soon become the most lite rally of all men a pilgrim on earth, he will not have where to set his foot but upon a footpath of road. Scripture once gave the poor a title to the gleanings of the harvest field, as it gave a title to the tithe of the priesthood; those gleanings have not been commuted by agreement with them." For much of this dis heartening state of things the Church is unquestion ably responsible ; for though of late it has worked with something like diligence in the spiritual vine yard, yet for a long series of years it paid little or no attention to its duties, but was invariably found looking sharply after its own selfish temporal interests, to the neglect of all nobler considerations. Instead of exerting the immense moral influence it possessed over the minds of the upper and middle classes of society in the cause of the poor and the oppressed, and setting a lofty example of charity, forbearance, and humility, it was conspicuous only by its apathy, its hauteur, and its intolerance towards the humbler orders, reserving its respect and its consideration for those of superior grade. In a word, it was of " the world worldly," and too often regarded the poor with the same supercilious eyes with which DIVES regarded US LAZARUS in the Scriptures. It is now much im proved in its tone of feeling—an amendment, how ever, which is less, we fear, the work of choice, than the result of imperious necessity—but there is sti room for further improvement, and it must be greatly changed from what it now is, even if it can be said fully and conscientiously to fulfil its mission, as the accredited Church of the poor. The injurious conse quences of the neglect of years is not easily reme .. died, and it will be a long time before the fstablish ment regains its old place in the affections and confi, dente of the lower orders. To advocate the building of new churches is doubtless a discreet act of policy on the part of the priesthood; but we tell the Bishop of LONDON, who is the chief promoter of this scheme, that he will be far more usefully—and we may even add, piously—employed, in exhorting his clergy to be more constant in their attendance on the poorer mem bers of their flocks, in ministering to their necessities, consulting them in their difficulties, sympathising with them in their sufferings, and acting towards them in the triple capacity of guides, guardians, and friends. The multiplication of new churches alone will not suffice to make a people religious; this can only be done by the zeal, the charity, the toleration and munificence of their spiritual pastors and masters. Mr. D'IsaAELI, who, we believe, is generally con sidered the founder, as he is one of the chief sup porters, of that school of political zealots who call themselves " Young England," has just been address ing his constituents at Shrewsbury in a speech not less conspicuous by its calmness and good sense, than by the manly, healthful tone of independence that pervades it. Though we may differ from this gentle man in some of his more extreme opinions, yet it is impossible to deny him the praise of being influenced in his public conduct by the loftiest and most disin terested motives. There is nothing petty or grovel ling in his views; and if at times he pushes his poli tical theories to the verge of Quixotism, yet the error is one that may be readily forgiven, for it originates in the most generous impulses, and in a hard, selfish, utilitarian age like the present, when Maminon worship pervades all classes of society, and lofty principles of action are treated with supercilious con tempt, it is little likely to find numerous imitators. We are by no means unqualified admirers of the doctrines of " Young England," but mixed up with much that is puerile, romantic, and extravagant, there is much that is substantially good in them —much that appeals to the better feelings of Englishmen —much that is calculated to elevate and purify their tone of thought, by reviving their proudest historical recollections, and raising them from that slough of distrust and despondency in which the majority are at present sunk chin-deep. But what we chiefly admire in " Young England," is the intrepid uncompro mising stand which the party is making against the fashionable Expediency system of the day—a system which is the bane of every generous emotion, which begins and ends in Self, and which sacrifices the great interests of the future to the petty necessities of the passing hour. Against this narrow, purblind rule of action, the " Young Englanders" strenuously and conscientiously protest. They plant their feet on the high, broad, solid vantage-ground of prin ciple, and are not to be lured from their position by the intrigues, the flattery, or the sophistries of the expediency-mongers. The right is with them the expedient, and they will not allow that a shuffling, timid, evasive course of policy, can be followed either with honour to the Go vernment, or advantage to the country. What they feel strongly they express boldly ; and do not hold one language to-day and another to-morrow, merely to satisfy the small exigencies of the moment. They are not Conservatives —they are not Whigs-..they are not Radicals—they are not Chartists. They do not believe in the infallibility of Sir ROBERT PEEL, nor do they oppose, as a mltter of course, every public measure that emanates from a Whig workshop. They do not think it necesssary that the agricultural and manufacturing interests should be kept continually at variance with each other; but, admitting the latter to be in its way as him, and must be attributed entirely to the comma ! ninitons made by Marshal BUGEAUD, and to the in structions from the Minister of Marine. The former stated that he had been deceived by the Moors re specting the expulsion of ARD•EL-KADER, and the lat ter ordered the Prince to commence warlike opera tions unless the ultimatum of the French Government was accepted. It appears the ultimatum was not accepted at the time when the bombardment com menced. The EMPEROR demanded the punishment of Marshal BUGEAUD, which, of course, was not in. eluded in the French conditions, and the squadron, without waiting Mr. HAY'S return, began the attack. What news our Consul brought from the EMPEROR we have no means of ascertaining, further than from the remarks of the Prince, that, according to the report of Mr. HAT, he was much depressed. This would lead to the inference that he was inclined to yield, and possibly, also, that he had given Mr. HAY power to effect an arrangement. Of that, however, we can say nothing positively till our Government throws some light on this very mysterious and unex pected attack upon a Power so long in friendly al liance with England. Dispatches from Marshal BUGEAUD, giving details of the battle of Isly, have also been published. They are rather of a different cha racter, and boast of the prodigies of valour performed by the French troops, and the vast havoc made in the Moorish army. " The Moors," he says, " left on the field of battle at least 800 killed, and almost the whole were cavalry ; the infantry, of which there were few, escaped us principally by means of the ravines. The Moorish army lost, besides, all its materiel. They must have had at least 1,500 or 2,000 wounded. Our loss was 4 officers killed, 10 others wounded, 23 non-commissioned officers and soldiers killed, and 86 wounded. The battle of Isly is, in the opinion of all the army, the consummation of our conquest of Algeria. Nothing could tend so much as this event to accelerate the conclusion of our differences with the empire of Morocco." The Marshal admits that he was the agressor, but alleges that he was compelled to attack in self-defence. TOE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81, 1844 not having published the Prince de Joinville's report of the bombardment of Tangiers. We can understand the reasons which have guided the Ministry's conduct, if, as we are assured On good authority, the Prince complains in his report of the English manoeuvres in Morocco. The Prince de Joinville has done his duty in apprising th, Government of the real dispositions of the agents of our allies, and we cannot blame the Ministry for not pub lishing a document of such gravity, especially if it be to reserve their action with the Cabinet of London." Another gossipping letter-writer gives a very dif ferent reason, and asserts that the conduct of two of the ships was severely blamed in the dispatch, and blame attached to the officers for the way in which the guns were served. We believe both statements are pure inventions. We give the following from the National as a specimen of the spirit which animates the war party :-- " The report of the cannon fired at Tangiers, Moga dore, and Isly, has resounded throughout France, and everywhere it has excited the same feeling. Morocco is forgotten, and even the unpopularity of certain of our generals, and the success of our arms is alone reme.n bered. There is not a French heart which does not thrill at the idea that we are at length on the eve of a contest with England, and that our land and sea forces have worthily commenced the campaign. In the midst of the general emotion the Government alone remains silent, and it might be said that it endeavours to con ceal what it ought to feel proud of. In the towns of our departments cannon .has resounded in sign of rejoicing, whilst at Paris, the seat of the Govern ment, the victories gained have scarcely obtained an honourable notice in the official journals under the head of telegraphic dispatches. Whence comes this singular modesty of the Government ? The cause is easily ex plained. It is that the victories of Isly and of Moga dore are, in fact, advantages gained over the English feeling, and that our statesmen, if we can employ that term, bleed at all which may wound England. They have not abandoned the hope of receiving pardon from the British aristocracy for the blows which they have been forced to permit. This is the reason why the official journals, so prolix when some miserable razzia is to be described, make us wait for the dispatches of Marshal Bugeaud and the Prince de Joinville re lating to actions which have done honour to our arms. It is, however, quite useless for the Govern ment to endeavour to make itself little in order to avoid the anger of the British aristocracy. They will have war whatever they may do. The best informed British journals have said so, and proved it. It is only a question of time. England sees clearly that she cannot trust her French friends to restrain our nation I She knows that the culpable state of neglect into which our navy has fallen has not prevented it from assuming an alarming development. She knows, in fine, that our commerce and manufactures are threatening her every where with formidable competition. She wishes, and she does not conceal her wish, to crush an enemy before we have collected our strength; and if she still hesitates, it is because she cannot divest herself of that fear of change which pervades all the old Governments in Europe. England hesitates, therefore; but whether she wishes or not, she will be forced to engage in the battle, and it is a deplorable policy on the part of our Govern ment to hide its head under its wing in order to avoid being seen by our enemies. If it were only in order to prolong peace, a contrary attitude would be the only one suitable, for in the state of anxiety in which all Govern ments are at present, the only means to make an im pression on them, and even to dictate one's will, is to persuade them that one is not afraid of war."

CABINET CouNclL.—Summones were issued last evening from the Foreign-office for the assembling of a Cabinet Council on Monday next. Sir R. Peel and other Ministers are expected to arrive in town on Monday next to attend the Council. Sir James Graham arrived in town this morning, from his seat, Netherby, Cumberland. " great a fact" as the former, they would see fair play Imeted out to both. Surely there is nothing here to which a dispassionate, thoughtful mind, need object! The views are neither those of Revolutionists nor of bigots, but simply those of men of reflection and principle, whose feelings have been quickened, and whose convictions have been strengthened, by the humiliating acts of tergiversation which they have lately witnessed among public men, and which, instead of calling forth the unanimous disgust of the people, have been regarded by a large portion of them with absolute indif ference, if not approval, as the results of inex• orable necessity. Now the "Young England" party, if we understand them rightly, hold as the funda mental article of their creed, that what is morally wrong cannot be politically right ; and that no ne cessity, though it may partially excuse, can wholly justify, a glaring dereliction of principle on the part of public men. So far we are fully prepared to agree with them, for the proceedings of parties on one or two memorable occasions during the past session, have quite sickened us of the very mention of the term Expediency. Intelligence from Madrid, to the 23d inst., has been received. A change of Ministry was still talked of, and it was said Queen CHRISTINA had written to MARTINEZ DE LA RosA, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, requesting him to accept the office of Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, and it was generally be lieved he would yield to the desires of the QUEEN. The military authorities waited on NARYAEZ to con gratulate him on his return to the capital, when the General addressed them in a long speech, and called on them to promote as much as possible the security of the throne with the liberty of the country. Mr. BULWER had arrived at Gibraltar. Madrid Bourse on the 23d—Three per Cents. 27 for account; Five per Cents. 20i for cash. When the Paris papers went to press on Thursday, neither the dispatches from the Prince DE JOINVILLE nor those from Marshal BUGEAUD had been published, so that we have no means of ascertaining how they were received. Little doubt, however, exists that they would afford the highest satisfaction both to the Royal Family and the country. The journals are chiefly occuped with the question of war or peace. Those of the Opposition still madly urging on the Government to extremities, while the others are calmly endeavouring to bring these fire-eaters to reason. "We have highly blamed," says the Journal des De - bats, " the insulting and provoking language of certain English newspapers, and we must equally condemn such of our own journals as seem to take pleasure in crying out for war. The Government has declared in the most solemn manner that, in re pelling an unjust aggression, France did not intend to make a conquest of Morocco, and form permanent establishments in the country. This declaration has all Europe for its witness, and our national good faith for its guarantee. 'We add, that the Opposition itself has become a party to it. It may then he said to be a settled point, a word of honour, by which we are bound. War, no doubt, may compel us to occupy for the moment a port or town belonging to an enemy, or even a point of his territory. We, on this occasion, do occupy the island of Moga dore, and the Prince DE JOINVILLE has landed some troops ; we will go up as far as Fez, if we should find it necessary; we will, in fine, use every means which war affords us ; but they will be employed only for imposing secure terms of peace, and not for conquest ; to obtain the reparation and guarantees to which we are entitled, and not to aggrandise our possessions in Africa. In saying this we say nothing but what has been formally declared from the tribunes of the two Chambers, and repeated by the press. Is it the Na tional alone that has not heard these declarations ? How can it talk of confidential promises made to England ? England has much better than confi dential promises, it has the public pledge of France ! Confidential promises might vanish with the Minis try that had the imprudence to make them—an engagement entered into in the face of the Cham bers, and ratified by them and by public opinion, be comes a national obligation. It is not a concession yielded to foreign influence, it is a resolution demanded in our own interest. To accomplish the pacification of Algeria, and to colonise it, is the great object of our present efforts; and the burden of this alone is suffi ciently heavy for our budgets. 'We have nearly 100,000 men in Africa, and to conquer and preserve Morocco, we must have another 100,000 men ; and while all the blood and treasure of France will be absorbed by a land which cannot render any return for a long time, what would become of our position in Europe ?—where would be our political freedom ? It requires no magic to answer this question. There is no need to recur to secret and shameful compro ntises, for explaining the resolution taken by the French Government not to conquer and keep Mo rocco ; it is not her interest to conquer and keep it. She desires peace, and she will gain it by making a barb arous people feel the superiority of her power in arms. She will dictate her own terms of peace at the point of the sword. Morocco has attacked us, and the lesson to be given to her must be severe enough to make her lose for ever all temptation to disturb our possessions. This is the only object of the war which we have undertaken and carried on with so much vigour." In reference to the affair of Otaheite the same journal has the following remarks:— " The Bourse was again much agitated on Wednes day; some alarming reports were circulated, and a re markable fall took place. We are aware of the gravity of the question pending between France and England— we consider the excitement prevailing in the two coun tries perfectly natural. Nothing demonstrates the ne cessity for a good understanding better than this agita tion and this general uneasiness ! Whilst we reckon upon the wisdom of the two Cabinets, we are ignorant of the manner in which the differences will terminate, and, for , no consideration would we lull to sleep public opi nion in presence of so serious a danger. We must, how ever, add, that the greater number of the reports in cir culation are inexact, or at least premature. It is not true that the Government has received the ultimatum of England. Up to the present moment there is nothing new and nothing changed in the relations of the two Go vernments. As for us, our hope is ever that a pacific so lution will restore tranquillity to the public mind, and that two nations, whose concord is necessary to the world, will not rush into a fatal war from inability to disco ver a means of reconciliation consistent with their reciprocal dignity." The other Ministerial paper, the Globe, is equally pacific. " The situation of things," it states, "may be delicate, but nothing ought to be added to it by exaggerations without any serious motive. The men wit() in France and England are charged with the task: of deciding the question raised between the two countries have confidence in each other's honourable dealing ; they have kept up, for four years, friendly relations founded on a pacific and civilising policy ; a fact unexpected, personal, foreign to the general system of their policy, has occurred not to trouble this harmony, but to occasion an incident. It cannot be (Doubted that this grain of sand will soon disappear from amongst the wheels where chance has intro- duce , cl it; the dispositions on both sides are friendly, The , same desire of peace exists, and a suitable solu. tion. must be expected to a difficulty evidently in a course of being settled." In another place, the same journal, in alluding to the banquet given by the National Guard, says : " There are people who imagine that they exhibit bold:less when they bawl out, and who confound energy with brutality. In general, the democratic party falls into this double error, and it fancies that it has not given.. a proof of firmness until after having made itself hoar se with singing the Marseilluise. A banquet was given. , on Tuesday at the Opera, by a part of the National Guai.d to the officers of the garrison, who had directed the sc.:hool of instruction of the legions of Paris. There is no grand dinner without a toast, and some of the Na . tionalGuards, more patriotic than prudent, had thought it righ t to prepare speeches in reply to the sully insults addr ef•sed by the Times to the French navy. The Na ti:ma t pretends that a roll of the drums prevented the toasts from being proposed. If the fact be exact, we cann at but approve of it. Serious men cannot be af fecte dby all kinds of insults • no one thinks of replying to thve invectives of a drunken man. The abuse of the Times could not excite amongst us more than a shrug of the sb.oulders ; and the English journals generally prove that public opinion in London is impressed by the heigb t of dignity and disdain which had greeted in France the correspondence of the Times. It would, therefo , :e, have been a great piece of childishness to ex cha uge in a banquet of the National Guards ridiculous thre s with the taverns of London. The speeches that mighrz have been pronounced could never have been as eloqute nt as silent contempt." The Revue de Paris gives the following as a reason for the Government not publishing the whole of the (lisp atches transmitted by the Prince DE JOINVILLE. We ,►ive it to show the spirit of the writer, but really it is entitled to no credit : `,'Great astonishment is expressed at tho Ministry COURT CIRCULAR.

Dispatches from Sir Charles Metcalfe, Governor of Canada, and from the Governors of the other North American Colonies, were received yesterday afternoon at the Colonial-office. MARRIED.—OR the Ist of August, Mr. W. Buck land, of Malmesbury, Wilts, to Ann, eldest daughter of Mr. Wff Abbey, Essex. ERRATUM. a e m orreetly , stated yesterday in oodrou — e l oft was W al t i h n a leading article in The Sun, on the subject of the pro ceedings before the Gravesend police, that Messrs. Spencer and Oakes were proprietors of the Diamond Company. We have since been informed that these gentlemen are not proprietors of the Diamond Com pany, but are bondholders of the Town Pier. SURREY THEATRE.—"TIIE OLD HOUSE IN WEST STREET" SUSPENDED I3Y COMMAND OF THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN.—Since the examination of the extraor dinary house in West-street, Smithfield, and the dis closures made relative to the purpose for which it was used, Mr. Leman Rede, the dramatist, has been engaged in writing a piece for the Surrey Theatre, under the title of The Old House in West-street, or London in the Last Century, in which many characters representing the low est orders of society are brought on the stage, such, as it is supposed, inhabited the house of that infamous neighbourhood. The play was of course submitted for examination, and all arrangements as to scenery, &c., were made for its production a few nights ago, when Mrs. Davidge, the proprietress of the theatre, received a letter from the Lord Chamberlain to the effect that the ' piece in its present shape could not be performed. The play was consequently withd rawn and another substi tuted. It is stated that the grounds upon which the performance of The Old House in West-street was sus pended were, that from the locality from which the in cidents were drawn, and the depraved habits of the cha racters thus brought before the audience, its general tendency would be• to deprave the public taste and de moralise the public mind. The proprietress has not entirely withdrawn the piece, and the author will soon have it reconstructed with the omission of offensive cha racters. BARTHOLOMEW FAlR.—Yesterday a deputation of the inhabitants of Smithfield, attended by Mr. Swan, the solicitor to the numerous body of petitioners who at tended before the Lord Mayor on Wednesday, as re ported in this journal yesterday, waited upon the Mar kets Committee, at Guildhall, for the purpose of urging upon th e mem b ers the restoration of Bart h o l omew Fair to what it was in 1839. In the hopes that the Commit tee would agree to t h e prayer o f th e petitions which were presented to the Lord Mayor, the deputation was empowered to tender for portions of the ground, on be half of Messrs. Johnson, Lee, and Wombwell, for the erection of shows. The deputation was ordered to Iv in attendance at one o ' c l oc k , s h or tly after which hour a long conv ersat i on took place b etween the Committee and Mr. Marti n , f rom the off i ce o f t h e City solicitor; but, as no one besides was allowed to be present,. the tenour of it cannot be given. After waiting some time, the depu tation were informed that the fair could not be allowed any extension of privilege than it possessed last year. Mr. Swan wished the Committee to hear the arguments which had been adduced before the Lord Mayor in fa vour of the fair being placed upon the same footing as in 1839. The Committee, however, were of opinion that they could not interfere, and told Mr. Swan that the application for a restoration of the fair to its *ormer state must be made to the Court of Common Council. STORM AT HAVRE.—A letter from Harfleur of Sunday last, given by the Journal du Havre , says : " About sev en t hi s morning, d ur i ng a violent' storm of rain, a hailstone, or rather a piece of ice, weighing, it is supposed, a kilogramme and a half (albs. Englisa), fell from an electric cloud, before the house of M. Dubois, Deputy. A woman who was passing at the time nar rowly escaped being crushed by it. Among the frag ments gathered up were several larger than a man's fist." SUMMARY OF NEWS A?_ , ,-.D Vttbitc 044ittait. " Who runs may read:, FOREIGN. Mr. Comrnissoner Fane, in the Bankruptcy -court, suspended the certificate of Wills and Davy, the bank rupt linen-drapers of Oxford-street, until the 31st of July, 1848, being five years from the date of the fiat against them. An action was tried at Liverpool before Mr. Justice Cresswell, which was brought by a publican named Duckworth, against a Mr. Johnson, to recover 37/ Is. for brandy and water, furnished to the free and indepen dent voters of Blackburn, at the election in 1841. The candidates could not treat, but the members of the res pective Committees did, and the defendant as a Com mittee-man, had opened plaintiff's house, and in obedi ence to his orders, 400 glasses of brandy and water, (in addition to certain quantities of rum and water, given to the canaille, in the tap-room), were furnished to the " free and independent" in the upstairs-room of the plaintiff's house. The jury found for the 'plaintiff for 37/ is. Michael Read, the tailor, who had been previously examined on a charge of cutting and maiming James O'Flaherty, with two pairs of scissors, was brought before Mr. Twyford, at Bow-street, and committed for trial. At Clerkenwell, Mr. Wm. Woodward, a haberdasher, residing at 34, Clarke's-place, Islington, was charged with having assaulted Miss Eliza Goulding, residing at 47, Lower-road, Islington. The prosecutrix had seen some Cobourg cloth in defendant's window, marked at Is. 2id. a yard, and had gone into his shop to purchase some. After vainly endeavouring to induce her to pur chase some inferior stuff, he cut her a quantity from the piece in the window, but charged 2s. 2id. a yard for it, and on her remonstrating, the defendant abused her and put her out of the shop. Mr. Combe, after commenting upon the defendant's c o nd uc t, fi ne d hi m 3 / . and costs. A gentleman attended at Queen-square to disabuse the mind of the Magistrate on the subject of a statement made at the office on Wednesday, by a man. named Henry Smith, who represented himself to be a broken down gentleman. It turns out that he is an impostor. A respectably dressed woman, named Frances Gray, was committed by Mr. Rawlinson from Marylebone, for shoplifting ; and Sarah Jones, cook to Mr. Satchell, 6, Winsley-street, Oxford-street, charged with having con cealed the birth of her male infant, was fully committed for trial. At Union-hall Edward Sweetly was brought before Mr. Trail, charged with uttering a counterfeit sovereign, and also with stealing the sum of 19s. from Mr. Popham, a surgeon, in the London-road. The prisoner ordered some medicine to be sent to a person in West-square, desiring that the boy who took it might bring change for a sovereign. He met the boy, took the medicine from him, gave him a counterfeit sovereign, and walked away with the 19s. He was remanded until Monday, when several other cases will probably be brought against him. Nathaniel Poplin, charged with committing a most brutal assault upon Mr. Thomas Elsworth, landlord of the Bell public•house, Bell Watergate, Woolwich, was sentenced at the Woolwich Police Court to fourteen days' hard labour in Maidstone goal. A fellow named Pratt, who had been formerly in the police force, was committed from the Thames Police Court to the House of Correction for one month, in de fault of paying a fine of 41., for assaulting Thomas Kettle, a boy 15 years of age. The prisoner had stolen some meat, the property of the boy's master, and threatened to cut the boy's throat if he told. The boy did tell, and Pratt throttled him, knocked him down, and trampled on him. COITAT—PASZEIONILBraI.

Duff, as sisted by Lord Duncan, did the duties of croupier. The ball in the evening was graced by th e presence of near l y all the ladies in the neighbourhood. The Duke of Richmond, the Earl of March, Lord Templemore, and the party at Gordon Castle have had abundance of sport OR the excellent shootings of Glen Fiddick and Blackwater. Some thousand head of game Ime•been slaughtered, notwithstanding the weather was against sport. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, the Earl and Countess of Arundel and Surrey, and the other members of his Grace's family, have been summoned to town from Arundel Castle, in consequence of the serious indisposi tion of the Noble Duke's cousin, the Hon. Lady Pechell, who has been considered by her medical attendants in imminent danger fbr some days past. The Duke of Montrose arrived in town on Monday last from Buchanan Castle, North Britain, and has since left for Cowes, to meet the Duchess and family, who have been residing there during his Grace's absence in Scotland. The Marquis of Clanricarde will return from Por tumna Castle, county Galway, in the ensuing week. The Noble Marquis and Marchioness and Ladies de Burgh intend taking their departure for the Continent, having made arrangements to pass the winter in Italy. Earl and Countess Granville have arrived at the Earl of Carlisle's, Castle Howard, Yorkshire, and after a brief visit to their noble relatives at that seat, proceed on a visit to the Archbishop of York, at Bishopsthorpe Palace, and afterwards to the Duke of Devonshire's marine villa at Kemp Town, for the autumn. The Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby have arrived at Ravensworth Castle, on a visit to Lord and Lady Ravensworth, from Newtown House, the Dowager Duchess of Cleveland's seat, near Bedale.

The Victoria and Albert Royal steam yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, has had her upper deck painted sinceher return from her cruise to the westward. She will be quite ready to receive her Majesty the be ginning of next week. In consequence of the age and infirmities of the Rev. Dr. Carey, Bishop of St. Asaph, the Bishop of Sodor and Man has undertaken the temporary duties of that diocese. The Lord Bishop of Lincoln will consecrate the newly erected church at Beeston on Thursday next. This church is provided with open seats, uniform throughout, and there is not a pew door in the edifice. It is intended to keep the church open daily. The farm premises of Mr. Waters, an extensive farmer at Stratford, near Salisbury, were burnt to the ground last evening, as well as seven wheat and other ricks, a large quantity of straw, poultry, &c. There is no doubt it was the act of an incendiary. The 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards marched from Windsor to Slough, en route to St. John's Wood Barracks, yesterday morning at nine o'cluck, under the command of Colonel Berkeley Drummond, and were re lieved by the Ist battalion, who arrived from the Tower at noon, commanded by Colonel Moncrieff. The band of the regiment will remain at Windsor until the depar ture of the Court in about ten days. Meyerbeer is at present at Dresden, where he intends to remain this summer. That celebrated composer has just finished a new opera, and is now assiduously em ployed in superintending the vocal studies of a young prima donna recently arrived at Dresden, from Stockholm, whom he purposes to engage for the opening of the grand opera itt The King of the French, accompanied by Generals Aymard and Friant, and two orderly officers, visited St. Cloud on Tuesday afternoon, but returned to Neuilly to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the Mi nisters of the Interior, Public Instruction, and Com merce, Marshal Marquis de Grouchy, and M. Jubelin, Under-Secretary of State of the Marine and Colonies. The Patrie of Wednesday states, that " the ultimatum of England with respect to Otaheite, which has been talked of for some days, was definitively placed in the hands of M. Guizot this morning . by Lord Cowley." The Globe, which is a Ministerial journal, has denied the existence of any ultimatum of the kind alluded to, and states that the Council met on Tuesday, and agreed to an offer of reparation, which it has reason to hope will be considered satisfactory. The Constitutionnel says the Council of Ministers met on Tuesday under the Presidency of the King at half past twelve, and did not separate for two hours. Before the Council, M. Guizot had a long conference with the English Ambassador, at whose residence the Ambassa dors and Char* d'Affaires of the great Powers met yesterday in conference. We are assured that after the Council M. Guizot paid a second visit to Lord Cowley. Letters from Toulon mention the rumour that the Emperor of Morocco has sent a corps of cavalry in pur suit of Abd-el-Kader, or actually compelled him to with draw from the frontier of Algeria. Another letter from Oran says he has been taken. The Revue de Paris states that orders have just been given by the Minister of Marine for a large supply of balls, bombs, and cartouches for the naval arsenals, and that an extensive promotion in the navy is immediately to take place. Twenty-five of the young Egyptians who accompanied the son and granison of Mehemet Ali to Marseilles arrived in Paris on Wednesday. The young Princes are daily expected. A grocer, in the Rue St. Antoine, was condemned yesterday, by the T r ib una l Correctional Police, to three months' imprisonment, and 50f. fine, for using false scales. Hitherto this offence has been visited much too leniently. A letter from Elsineur states that the Russian fleet will pass the winter in that roadstead. Jt was reported at Copenhagen, that the object was to keep the fleet in a state of readiness for sea, whereas, if it passed the winter as usual in Cronstadt, it would be unable to move out until the frost should break up. The fleet is said to consist of nine ships of the line, and five frigates. LAW AND POLICE, ENGLAND. Bank of England, Now . Last time..

The accounts from New York, received per Caledonia, state— " The recent intelligence received from Great Britain gave a very favourable account of the growing crops. A wonderful change had taken place in the position of affairs within three weeks previous to the 19th July ; the weather during that period having ripened the grain crops, so as to:remove the apprehensions previously enter tained of a deficient harvest. The season, both in that country and throughout Europe, has been so far unusually favourable, and the crops must turn out very large.
