DIARRHCEA—The ill effects of eating impru dently of fruit, shell-fish, and other food of an ir ritable nature to the bowels, are immediately removed by a wine glass dose or two of a pleasant and palatable remedy. The ktient has merely to be possessed of a bottle of BABING ON'S ELIXIR of RHUBARB, the only equally agreeable and efficious form in which that invaluable medicine, Rhubarb, can be administered. It is also of universal service as a Family Medicine, to prevent or relieve Indigestion, Bilious and Nei.. vous Headache, Flatulency, Constipation, &c., whilst the more painful suffering s from the Grave!, Gout, or Rheumatism, may be either avoided or alleviated by its use. From its specific ten dency to assist, rather than force the efforts of nature, Babing ton's Elixir of Rhubarb is rapidly superseding the baneful use of deleterious and violent purgatives, which too often aggravate the diseases they are expected to cure.

SHERI FF'S COURT-THURSDAY. houses, to mention that an or d er was issued for closing on the Sunday following. On Sunday morning having been informed that the Woolpack was open, he went to the house after six o'clock and saw a great number of persons in and about the house. He got more of the policemen together on account of the crowd, which in creased greatly. At about ten o'clock he with difficulty got in, and he saw Mr. Sharpe and another man and a woman serving at the bar spirits and seer. He was hooted and hissed as he went in and came out. The parlour and the bar in front were completely full, and there were upwards of 300 persons outside. They were quiet and orderly. Many were waiting to get in, and many were drinking outside out of pots and glasses belonging to the Souse, .which was closed a t ten m i nutes b e f ore e l even. H e went in after , wards and found that all was clear. Mr. Silverton did not make his appearance at all. Policeman No. 32 also deposed as to the serving of liquour in the bar from half-past six in the morning until the house closed. The LORD MAYOR—Did you go in and say that they were doing wrong? Witness said he went on Saturday night into a pub lic-house in Sparrow-corner, belonging to Mr. Barnet, and mentioned that he had orders to say that all public houses were to be kept closed till one o'clock on Sunday. Mr. Sharpe, who served in the defendant's bar, and who, he believed, was conducting Mr. Silverton's business, was there at the time, and said that he should open the Woolpack, as witness understood him. Inspector Brake stated that, on Saturday night, Mr. Barnett, who kept the Blue Boar public house in Sparrow-corner, called upon him, bringing with him an Act of Parliament, and said that he would not obey the order to keep his house closed, inasmuch as the new Act could not come into operation till the 15th of October, and he and the owner of the Wool pack public-house had agreed to open next morning. Witness strongly advised Barnet not to open, and Bar net went away saying that he would not, and accord ingly he did not. Mr. Sharp said that he meant the 25th of December instead of the 15th of October. BURTON V. HAMPTON. This was an action brought against Mr. Hamp ._on, the celebrated aeronaut, to recover the° sum of 151. for prin•ing, &c. It appeared by the evidence that the plaintiff had been engaged to print various bills an nouncing his intended ascents, together with tickets of ad mission, printed in letters of gold. The defendant had also published a work called the " Aerial Messenger," purportin2; to be printed in the City of Clouds, in the Isle of Sky. It gave an account of his aerial voyages ; in one part was a mercantile list, in which it was stated " silk and cordage were rising, gas ascending rapidly sand was falling, and it was expected there would short be a rapid descent, as paper was floating about, and was of little value." Mr. THOMAS said he trusted the defendant would have to pay for his wit, and that he would be compelled to raise the wind, and pay for the work which had been done for him. The publication in qnestion contained advertisements and puffs not rela ting to aerostation. Mr. JONES, who appeared for the defendant, after evidence at great length had been gone into, consented to a verdict for 141. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT --...LIVERPOOL, Aua. 27. (Before Mr. Baron MAULE.) EXTRAORDINAR Y CASE. TAYLOR V. LLOYD AND OTHERS. It appeared from the statement — oithe Learned Counsel for the plaintiff, and from the evidence ad duced, that the defendants are bankers in Birmingham. The firm consists of five partners, four of whom pleaded to the action (which was an assumpsit) that they were never liable ; the fifth (Mr. F. Lloyd) pleaded in ad dition a plea of payment-of the sum claimed. The plaintiff was anold formerly resided in Live r p oo l , an d i s possesse d o f an lady, age d a b out 75 years . Sh e income of more than 1,7001. a - year. A t t h e t i me o f t h e transactions which gave rise to the present inquiry, she had gone to reside at a place called Wild- green , near Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire, where she kept a car riage, a coachman, a servant maid, and a dog. There was little society in the neighbourhood. The dog fell ill, and she applied to the wife of a Mr. Jones, whose husband, there, was a spade and shovel manufacturer, in rather a humble way, to recommend her to a far rier, who could see to the horses and cure the dog. Mrs. Taylor afterwards called repeatedly on Mrs. Jones, who became a friendly visitor at the house. In the year 1836, one of the defendants, Mr. Francis Lloyd, came to reside at the Manor House at Sutton Coldfield. Soon after this the plaintiff's house was robbed, and Mr. Francis Lloyd being a Magis trate, application was made to him to inves tigate the case. This led to a friendly intercourse be tween the plaintiff and Lloyd, who appeared greatly to interest himself in her affairs. In 1837, the Joneses removed to Birmingham, where Mrs. Taylor assisted them to set up in business in the edge-tool trade, and lent mo ne y f rom ti me t o ti me to Mr. Jones, in various sums, to the amoun t o f n e arly 2,0001., for which she had his personal security, and a mortgage upon some premises whi c h h e b oug ht whereon to establish his ma nufactory. In 1838, a young and handsome woman . came'to reside at Sutton Coldfield, a house called the Swiss Cottage. Mr. Lloyd mentioned her to Mrs. Taylor, as a young widow lady of the name of Harding, and introduced them to each other. Whenever Mr. Lloyd came in the neighbourhood he generally called at Mrs. Taylor's, on his way both to and from Birmingham, and when at a distance he did not fail to wr i te to h er, expressing hi s d evo ti on t o , and wish to serve her, in terms which could only be accounted for, considering the great disparity of age between them, on the supposi tion that he had some purpose to serve. He sent her game, fruit, and flowers, became her banker, sent her a pass-book and a check-book, and received her money. He wrote also that he had a project by the accomplish ment of which b e hoped to add to her domestic happiness. This was an intention to marry the pretty Mrs. Harding, Ind to offer Mrs. Taylor a place at his fireside, being as sured that the lady of his choice would find great advan tage in having her assistance in the conduct of his house hold. He had for the first time thought seriously of matrimony, though it had often been recommended to him by his friends, combined with the allurements of youth, beauty, and fortune. On one of the occasions when Mrs. Taylor advanced money to Mr. Jones, she requested him to cut two checks out of her check book, in which at this time stood a balance in her favour at th e defendants' bank 0fJ..98 Lloyd - tdok - the opportunity to see Mr. Jones, and said that he thought they were at cross' purposes as to Mrs. Taylor. Jones said he was at no purpose at all, and did not understand what he meant. Early in 1839 , the old•lady resolved to return to Liverpool, and made preparations for the purpose. Mrs. Jones, and the pretty Mrs. Harding, who had become a frequent visitor, came to w l e y r d e , o t c h c a u t p i b e o d f o n r e e a r sh a o f o t r o t f n t i r a s s . s T is a t y in lor pa to ck ld ing A , f a r. L nd g s h h t e . should want 1,000/., and requested him to bring it her. On looking for the pass-book it was missing and could no where be found ; and one morning, towards the close of the scene, Mr. Lloyd brought a paper parcel, which he delivered to Mr. Jones, saying " Here i s Mrs. Taylor's money." On opening it the par cel was found to contain 250/. Mrs. Taylor said, " What does Mr. Lloyd mean by this? I wanted 1,0001., and he has sent me 0 50/." Shortly after this Mrs. Harding discovered a pass-book under a heap of loose waste paper i n the water-closet. and produced it as the lost book. On examining it several sums were put to the credit and debit of Mrs. Taylor, so as to render th e b a l ance due to her only 2501.; and some items of interest were put on the debit instead of on the credit side. The book, though a re gular pass-book of the b an k, w i th a printed n otice to cus tomers pasted inside the cover, professed to be an account between the plaintiff and Mr. Francis Lloyd only. The whole of this appearing very strange, Mrs Taylor consulted Mr. Weaver, one of her agents who collected part of her rents in Liverpool, who had an interview with Mr. F. Lloyd. At first Mr. Lloyd denied the account being more than the 250/., which he had delivered to Mrs. Taylor, but Weaver said that he had hiinself paid in a sum of 700/., and that he could have the notes of 4001. of it, and that Jones knew the pass-book contained a balance of 1,981/, 10s. in favour of Mrs. Taylor. Lloyd said, "If so, I must stand by it." This led to further inquiry, when it turned out that the pretty widow Harding was a mis tress of Lloyd's, and had had two children by him. The paper-manufacturer who made the paper of which the pretended pass-book was made swore that he made the paper, and that the frame in which it was made was not in his possession till the 24th of August, 1837. The book contained entries of an earlier date, all of which looked as if written with the same pen and ink, and at the same time. The frame-maker now retired, but formerly paper frame-maker to the Bank of Eng land, deposed that he made the frame in which the paper of which the pretended pass-book was made, and that he sent it from his manufactory to the paper maker, on the 24th of August, 1837, and not before. Mr. ALEXANDER administered a long and severs cross-examination to Mr. John Jonis, and addressed a long and ingenious speech to the jury on behalf of the defendants, and argued the innocence of Mr. Lloyd from the circumstance that it would have been easy for him to have purchased secrecy by paying the amount claimed, if he knew he deserved the imputations sought to be cast upon him. The Learned BARON, in summing up the case, ob served that when a young man who had withstood the allurements of youth, beauty, and fortune, wrote to an old woman in the way Lloyd had done to th e p l a i nt iff , i t must be obvious to anybody but himself that his object was to ingra • tiate himself into her favour, for the sake of her money. It could only be with a view t o d ecept i on that he asked her advice and sanction with regard to his marriage with the pretended widow, who had long been kept by him as his mistress. That there was a banker's account appeared certain. Even the pretended book was put off as a pass-book, though headed as between Mrs. Taylor and him only, and she had all along h a d a check-book of the bank. The other partners pleaded that they were not liable; but if one pa partner took th e plaintiff's money, and pretended to place it in the bank for her, they were all liable, On looking 'it the evidence it did seem that about 700/., paid in by Mr. Weaver, had been drawn out again ; and whether that constituted a part of the 1,981/. 10s. which Jones saw in the pass book, was a point for their consideration. The Jury (special) retired for a few mi nutes, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,281/. 10s. Hoppe, the ward beadle, confirmed the state ment made by the policeman. Mr. Sharpe had taken the house from Mr. Silverton, but the transfer had not taken place yet, as transfer day had not arrived. Mr Silverton had told him that Sharpe had taken the house, and that he (Silverton) had removed to Stamford street, Blackfriars.. Witness had seen Silverton remove his goods. _ The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Silverton, what have you to say to this accusation ? Why did you open your house in violation of the law ? Defendant—l have to express my deep sorrow, my Lord, that the house was opened. I have disposed of the house and business to Mr. Sharpe. The LORD MAYOR—You are answerable, and you know it very well, for the conduct of the house till the transfer is completed. Defendant—lt was done, I assure your Lordship, through mere ignorance of the law. Mr. Sharpe and I inquired of the police, but we received no satisfac tory information, and we had no idea that the Act was to come into operation. The LORD MAYOR—You need not make any allu sion to Mr. Sharpe. He will have to answer for him self at another time. All I want you to do is to defend yourself. Defendant—Mr. Hoppe, the Ward beadle, upon being questioned on the subject of closing our houses, said he had no orders on the subject. I went at nine o'clock on Saturday night into Fleet-street and pur chased an Act of Parliament, and upon reading it I thought it did not come into operation till the 25th of of December. The LORD MAYOR—Of what Act do you speak ? Defendant—Of the Act of George the Second. I paid half-a-crown for it.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Do not think that you can im pose upon us by your affectation of ignorance, for by talking nonsense of this kind you but set the law openly at:defiance, and you have shamefully taken advantage of your brother publicans who have acted in obedience to it. Defendant—l assure you, my Lord, it was mere ignorance. _ The LORD MAYOR.—It is very extraordinary that you should be the only person who would not shut up his house, that you should be the only person who put the construction upon the Act of Parliament, that you were to open your house when all the rest were closed ; you saw the excitement which was occasioned by the course you adopted. It was such that I and other -- tvlagigttates - oftlitl-City were obliged to stay from citirCli from the apprehension that our presence might be ne cessary. Such was the impression upon Alderman Johnson, the Alderman of the ward, that he came to consult me upon the propriety of reading the Riot Act. Defendant—l had no idea of infringing the law, and it was not done for profit, there was no profit resulting from it whatever. The LORD MAYOR—There was an immense profit, and it was procured at the expense of your brother publicans. Defendant—There was no profit, my Lord. You don't make allowance for broken glasses and other losses. The LORD MAYOR—Are you not aware that fifty per cent. profit was made ? Defendant—No, my Lord The LORD MAYOR—I can tell you that more than that was charged ; so that it was a robbery upon the poor unfortunate persons who crowded to the place, as well as a robbery upon all the rest of the publicans. Defendant—As soon as we found that we were in error, we closed, your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—lnde e d ! Defendant—Yes, my Lord, when our legal adviser came in on Sunday, and told us we were doing wrong, we determined not to persevere. The LORD MAYOR You are convicted, and the case is the most aggravated that can be. As, however, it is the first offence under the new Act, I do not relish the idea of inflicting the whole penalty of 5/. I do not like to do it, as in a case of a first violation the party charged seems to suppose that he has a sort of right to make a mistake. Defendant—l hope, my Lord, you will consider that the offence was committed in error, I have a wife and ten children, my Lord. Everything that operates against Mr. Sharpe will operate against me. The LORD MAYOR—As it is the first offence under the Act, I shall fine you only 40s. ; but you may de pend upon it that the authorities of the ward will pre vent the transfer of the license. Mr. Sharpe—l am very sorry indeed, my Lord, for what has happened, but I had no idea of infringing the law. It was my opinion that it would not come into operation till the 25th of December. I went in person to the Inspector to learn whether we were to keep closed or not, and I received no answer. The LORD MAYOR—So you set up your opinion against the opinion of the Magistrates, and of all the publicans in the City, who thought proper to keep their houses closed ? Mr. Sharpe—l do . not presume to know the law better than others, and all was done in mistake my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—I shall take particular care to let the Commissioners of Excise know that a person who has no license has been carrying on business in this house, and we shall see whether you are to act against the law with impunity. You have been transgressing in the most culpable manner, for you have occasioned a most dangerous excitement amongst the poor people, who crowded together, and to whom you supplied liquor to any extent at a double charge, to the prejudice of those who respected the law. I shall do all I can, I as sure you, to prevent either of you from ever holding a license in the City of London. Defendant (Silverton)—l am daily in the habit of doing business in the house, my Lord, until the transfer takes place. The LORD MAYOR—That way of doing business must be put an end to. A vast deal of mischief arises from it. No man in my Ward ever attempts te sere customers till the transfer regularly has taken place. Mr. Silverton—l trust you will rescind your resolu tion, my Lord, about stopping the licence. Any injury done to Mr. Sharpe will be an injury to me. The LORD MAYOR—You shall both take the conse quence of violating the law. It was your duty, suppos ing there was no law at all against openin g your h ouse , to have closed it when you saw such excitement prevail ing amongst the crowd. Mr. Sharpe—l sent to the Inspector to know whe. ther I should close the house. The Inspectors present denied that any application had been made to them—on a subject on which every publican was perfectly well informed. The LORD MAYOR.—You shall take the conse quences. If you want a character as to fitness to keep a public-house send to me, and I will supply you with the character each of you deserve. I repeat that I shall send to the Commissioners of Excise, and I am convinced that the City authorities will never allow either of you to have a license. The defendant paid the fine and expenses, but not until he had again and again besought the Lord Mayor not to persevere in his resolution to oppose the license. Deputy Tyers (the Deputy of Alderman Johnson), a very active and intelligent member of the Common Council, presented a petition, signed by between forty and fifty of the most respectable inhabitants of the Minories, praying that his Lordship would exercise his influence to stop the license of a house, the opening of which, in violation of the Act, had caused so much annoyance and offence. POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a great sensation was occasioned by the investigation into an alleged violation of the New City P o _ lice Act. . _ Mr. Wm. Sil ver t on , the pro prietor o f th e Woolpack public-house, in the Minories, appeared befor e the Lord Mayor to answer a summons served upon him by City policeman, No. 32 (Williams), for serving liquor on Sunday morning last, before the hour appointed by h e Act for permitting public-houses to be opened. Mr, Sharpe, who was seen serving at the bar, also attended. They were unaccompanied by a solicitor. By the di rection of the Lord Mayor the proprietor produced his license. Henry Hodges, acting inspector of police of the Eastern division of the City, deposed that he called on Friday at the Woolpack, and the other public_ Q UEEMSQUARE. FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—Jantes Moore, the driver •f one of Sibley's Hammersmith omnibuses, wa place at the bar, charged with having driven over a boy named William Baxter, aged nine years, and thereby occasioned his death. James Carter, a farrier in the Ist Life Guards, stated that on Wednesday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, he was standing outside the Knightsbridge Bar racks, when he noticed two children playing on the op posite footpath. Presently one of them ran into the road, and pitched itself against the off horse of an om nibus, of which the prisoner was the driver. The pri soner pulled up almost immediately, but not in time to prevent the wheels passing over the child's body, which was crushed in a dreadful manner. Mr. GREGORIE—Was the prisoner driving fast? Witness —Certainly not, he was going at a slower pace than omnibuses usually go at ; he thought that there was not the slightest degree of blame to be at tached to the prisoner. Police Sergeant, 12 T, said that if the Magistrate should think it desirable to remand the prisoner until the result of the Coroner's inquest, there were several respectable people in attendance who would give bail for his appearance. The prisoner bore the best of characters •n the road and with his employers, for whom he had driven several years. Mr. GREGORIE said it seemed to him that the unfor tunate occurrence was purely accidental, and he would therefore not detain the prisoner, if he would promise to attend the Coroner's investigation. The prisoner, who was much affected, said he would do so, and was then liberated. THAMES- OFFICE. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.--Mr. Hodgson, a solicitor, residing in Wapping, applied to Mr. Ballan tine, on the part of the carpenter and nine seamen, belonging to the Anna Mackenzie, trading to New Brunswick, commanded by a Captain Morris, under circumstances of a somewhat extraordinary character. The men joined the vessel at Deal on the 16th of August (being engaged in London), and found the ship laden with a general cargo, but in a very leaky state, and upon examination the vessel was found to be quite unseaworthy. The carpenter made an accurate measurement of the leakage, and found it amount to eighteen inches per diem. This justly alarmed the crew ; and, upon inquiry, they found that two crews had been engaged before, and upon discovering the dan gerous condition of the vessel, had refused to sail in her. In this state of things a signal was made for the Captain to come on board, and upon his arrival he was informed of the unsafe state of the vessel and the disinclination the crew had to sail in her, but offering to stay by the ship if she went into dry dock to repair. The Captain, however, said the vessel should go to London, and the crew accordingly worked the vessel up, and she was then in the London-dock, where she arrived on Sun day. They washed and moored the vessel, and had kept her pumped ever since. On Monday the captain came on board, and addressing the crew said, " I have done with you," and ordered the cook to give them no more victuals. That order had been since com plied with, and the men were consequently without food, and in a state of starvation. All reward for their ser vices had been withheld. He (Mr. Hodgson) had told them that the Magistrates could not enforce any payment of wages till the voyage was completed ; but the men had an opinion that the Magistrates would find a mode to protect them, and he had known that in some in stances the Magistrates of the Thames Police Office sent one of their officers, who in such cases usually effected every object that justice demanded. Mr BALLANTINE said he could order no wages till they were earned. He believed this to be a very distressing case, and he and his colleagues had been in the habit of meeting such cases in the way pointed out, but he was now deprived of the means. He had once many good officers who effected much under the directions of himself or colleagues in such matters, but he had none now, and could give no assistance. The Thames Police were extinct, and the officers in attendance were merely ushers, to bring the cases in and swear the witnesses. Mr. Hodgson—ls there no way of intimating the opinion of the Magistrates to the captain and owners ? Mr. BALLANTINE—I really know of none. The ushers of the Court may be applied to ; but I know not where they are to be found. _ _ M . r. Chambers, one of the Editors of Chambers's Edinburgh J ourna l— a pu bli cat i on tota ll y free from public th party bias—lat e ly v i s i te d t hi s country , an d was r forcibly struck by th e contrast b etween i ts con diti a :n in 1 829, when th e T or i es were i n office, and • o n f ietsrePsrueft t lt state of tr anqu illi ty and progressive improvement, thai he determi ne d to p l ace before the his impressions. Accordingly that gentleman addressed the following letter to a London Weekly Journal : TO THIS EDITOR OE THE SPECTATOR.. Edinburgh, 19th August, 1829. Dear Sir—Since I saw you in London I have made a pretty considerable round, by way of Dublin and Belfast, to Edinburgh ; but how rapidly is such a jour ney now made! from London to LiVerpool by railway ten hours ; Liverpool to Kingstown, twelve hours ; Kingstown to Dublin by railway, a qu ar t er o f an hour—all steam. What a magician is this steam now a-days ! It is doing more for Ireland in the way of mo ral and physical improvement in one day than was effected in years by the rubbish of Parlimentary enactments. Peo ple in England, however, are not aware of this: they goon dreaming about uproars, civil wars, and miseries whic.h characterized a past age in Ireland, apparently not aware that the Ireland of 1839 is quite a different thing from the Ireland of 17911, or even of 1828. I had not been in Ireland for ten years, and was on this occasion much struck with the signals of improvement which on all sides presented themselves. Dublin is more cleanly, and i▪ n finitely more orderly than it used to be. It has got a police dressed in the s a m e g a r b and disciplined in the same manner as that in the metropolis. This civ• il force has, I understand, been of prodigious benefit to Dublin; everything like a row is now promptly quelled, and durin g th e n i g ht a ll i s as qu i e t an d p eace ful as in London. There is, I think, also much less of that tag-rag and broken-windowedness in the appearance of some of the bye-streets than I saw formerly—as if a taste for neatness and love of comfort were on the increase. Those funny fellows who drive the street cars are likewise more decent in their apparel—the straw rope having disappeared from the hat or legs, and their inechanique being altogether of a better order. The railway to Kingstown is now going on famously, after some initiatory difficulties. The train goes every half hour. I went several times to and fro, and there were never fewer than from a hundred to two hundred persons carried. In conse quence of the case of conveyance out of town in this di rection, the beautiful low sloping hills along the entrance to the bay are becoming covered with villas, the whole presenting a scene of great beauty from the sea. While the environs are thus receiving the higher class of house holders from the city, the streets they have partially de serted are filling up with shops and houses of business, thus affording an evidence of growing prosperity. I was pleased to observe, among other tokens of improve ment, an increase of booksellers' shops : these are even numerous, and I learned that literature is daily advanc ing. A few years ago there was no publishing at all ; but now, one house, Curry and Company, issues as many new books, the produce of native talent, as are issued by all the publishers of Edinburgh, if not considerably more. Mr. Hodgson—There is twenty feet of water in the vessel now. The men stick to their duty, but get no provisions. Mr. BALLANTINE—I wish I could relieve them ; but I have no jurisdiction, and can direct no officer to per form any duty. Mr. Hodgson said he most deeply regretted the Ma gistrates had lost the power so very beneficially exer cised for the public good. Numberless cases, of which the law did not take cognizance, were settled to the satisfaction of all parties before the passing of the New Police Act, by the judicious interference of a Thames-police surveyor, under the controlling authority of the Magistrates, and the people on the river and in the maritime district of the office would feel severely the change. He should apply to the Court of Admiralty on the subject. Mr. Barnett, a respectable jew slopseller, said he cashed all the advance notes of the men, and he should enter actions against the owners. Mr. BALLANTINE—Y ou have made a bad specula tion. I fear, the money being spent by the men, you are in a sad situation, and I cannot help you. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, Mr. Samuel Rhodes, coal•merchant, of No. 21, Grand Junction Wharf, Paddington, was sum moned to this office before Mr. Hall, the sitting Ma gistrate, upon an information under the Statute of the Ist and 2d of William the Fourth, ch. 76, sec. 57, to answer the complaint of Martin Doherty, coal-dealer, of No. 17, Cow-cross, St. Sepulchre, for haring delivered a quantity of coals deficient in weight in several sacks, which subjected him to a penalty of not more than Si. on every sack deficient in weight. Mr. Robinson, from the office of Mr. Yardley, Solicitor, of Hatton Wall, attended for the prosecutor. Martin Doherty, being sworn stated, that having ordered four tons of coals of the defendant to sell by retail, on the Ist of August, they were sent by a carman to his residemce in Cow-cross, in 40 sacks, in a waggon ; the witness required the carman to weigh one of the sacks, and afterwards to weigh the empty sacks in like manner, which being done, the coals were found to be deficient in weight. Seven sacks and coals were subsequently weighed in the pre sence of two indifferent and credible persons, when no one of them contained 1121 b. or 2241 b. as required by law, whereupon the present proceedings were instituted. Thomas Blake, of 19, Cow-cross, and Thomas Reer don, corroborated this testimony. The deficiency in the various sacki of coals differed from 4 to 6,7, 8, and 141bs. The carman had his weighing machine under his waggon, and he delivered his ticket, " 4 ton of coals, in 40 sacks, each containing 2241 b." The defendant denied having any fraudulent intention or guilty knowledge. It was his desire and object to furnish the full weight of coals, and he could not account for the defalcation, unless the coals were lost on the road or through the dishonesty of his servants; if the coals were not properly weighed at the wharf, it was the fault of his clerk. Mr. Robinson said that unfortunately this was his client's first transaction in dealing with the defendant. Defendant—l deny having any guilty knowledge ; but it might be implied from the publicity of the case that I am the guilty party, which is not the fact. Mr. HALL (to the defendant)—The complainant does not impute to you a guilty knowledge, but the fact of the deficiency in weight is proved, and under the circumstances I shall fine you 20s. upon the seven sacks which were deficient in weight, and the costs, amounting in the whole to 71. 7s. 6d. Mr. Robinson—The Act also allows all reasonable expenses for the attendance of the witnesses. Mr. Rhodes—lt is not the penalty that I begrudge, but it is the publicity, from which it may be implied that I had a guilty knowledge. It is a thing that we are subject to every d ay, an d i t i s hard to say where it may end. The witnesses declined calling for their expenses and in the course of the day Mr. Rhodes paid the penalty. THE POST-OFFICE IN NEW GRANADA. — The rates of postage are all settled by weight ; a single letter from the seabord to Bogota costs twenty-five cents. ; pamphlets and newspapers are free. A set of boxes are provided for the merchants at the rate of four dollars per annum. Letters are generally delivered through a window from the street ; but the place for the delivery of parcels, called encomiendas, which pay a mail-freight of one dollar per pound, is in a different part of the building. No country can possibly possess a better regulated post than that of New Granada, nor is there any place where fewer accidents occur. If a person wishes to send a hundred doubloons to the scabord, he must place them in one of the little bag s of the t eo e un te tr i y ier ca t l h le e d n h mochilas ; and after the teller in t he office counts th e money, him aformal the bagi s tied receiptu p for an the dnu mbe r ed; h amount, in whi c h i s a l so stated the kind of coin received, and to whose order to be sends to delivered his at its place of destination. Thi s receipt he P p en t the e being office corrondent, rese G n o ts ve it Government at ni there, and receives his money, the responsible for its delivery. This mode of the " enco miendas," is often a great advantage to the man of b us i. nes s, as no goods can possibly reach him in so short a time as by mail. This being the case, I have often seen small parcels, containing a few pounds weight of some n ew st yl e gloves, l way oves , v veryno. conveniently f much de.manidrainthemratrhkientk, forwarded haw s , l i ae es n this , that the mail is limited as e whatnu mber extentof pounds i ain i g nor weight ant. in the gross it can carry , li ut to —Steuart's Bogota. When I was last in Dublin (in 1829), I was asto nished to see the vast number of red coats in the streets ; but now there is hardly one to be seen. Fromm whatever causes, this is doubtless a good sign of the state of affairs ; there is always something wrong when red is a predominating colour in apparel. The thing, however, which pleased me most was the appearance of the schools for the children of the poorer classes. At the school of the Na tional Board of Education I saw 1,700 children, a mixture of Roman Catholics and Protestants, receiving an education infinitely superior in quality to that given in our Scottish parish schools. I found not only mere reading taught, but mathematics and natural sciences. A class of very poorly-clad urchins, at my request, went through an examination in these branches of knowledge ; and the result was most satisfactory. (School-fee Id. per week.) I visited also the large school of the Kildare-place Society ; and in it found 1,100 children under a similar system of tuition. From these visits, and what I saw otherwise, I feel impressed with the belief that the Irish have got fairly into the right course of intellectual and moral advancement, and that the country will by-and-by show as good a front as Eng land or Scotland. One thing is most gratifying—the landed proprietors have begun to take an interest in the condition of the poor peasantry. The Poor-law de serves the credit of bringing about this beneficial change in public sentiment. Foreseeing that the peasantry may fall upon them for subsistence, already a stir has been created among the gentry, and they are at this moment, in divers places, projecting some wholesome measures of emigration, and making an effort to enlarge the size of farms and introduce agricultural capitalists. All this is exactly as it should be. The mischief of Ireland is too many people and too little work ; and, although the country will ultimately support in comfort far more than its present number of inhabitants, it is clear that in the mean time the profitless mass of la bourers must be removed—that is in the spirit of kind ness, sent away to regions where labourers are wanted and well paid. It is likely enough that a class of ora tors, newspapers, and magazines, who thrive upon keeping up mischief, may set their faces against these benevolent plans of emigration ; but I would fain hope that, by good management, Ireland will be relieved of her difficulties, and the land every where put under a right system of agriculture. Already, I understand, estates are bringing good prices : and no wonder, see ing that produce of every description is so readily ex ported to England and Scotland, by steam-boats. Cattle, pork, poultry, butter, and vegetables, are now seat off daily for half a dozen ports ; and, would you believe it, Glasgow is now supplied with buttermilkfrom Belfast? Of course, all this is rapidly transplanting capital from Great Britain to Ireland ; and hence Ireland must thrive in spite of herself. Every one with whom I conversed allowed that, provided no political squabble intervened, and that Ireland was fairly treated as an integral por tion of the United Kingdom, its advance in the course of the next ten years would be very considerable. I have no doubt in my own mind that in that period there will be a decided rush of capital into Ireland —the rush, indeed, has begun. That half a century, however, may elapse before it is what it ought to be, is not improbable ; for Scotland took nearly a century to recover from the shock of its union—all its improve ments, as you know, being of quite a recent date. Among other symptoms of an advance, I found thatthe Church is roused to do something useful. There is now a greater energy about the Clergy, and they are at present.projecting the establishment of schools of a strictly Protestant kind. This is excellent. The more schools the better, for the greater chance is there of the whole people being educated. In the N or th I f oun d t hi ngs i n a f u ll y more flourish ing state than in the South. A railway, just opened from Belfast to Lisburn, is making a stir. It is to be car ried shortly to Armagh, and afterwards, I believe, to Drogheda and Dublin. When we get our railway from Edinburgh to Glasgow finished, and also the railway from Glasgow to Greenock, we shall be able to reach Ireland from the east coast of Scotland in no time. I am, dear Sir, yours truly, W. CHAMBERS. The Dublin Evening Post remarks on this—" These are the opinions of a sensible, unprejudiced, and ob servant Scotehman. He shows that Ireland is rapid ly advancing in ent e rp r i se an d i n d us t r y—that the ' Irish have got fairly into the right course of intellectual and moral advancement,' and that if she be fairly treated pasrosapnerityin a fe integral pow years ofrtion must fully equal the British Emp i re, that u her f England or Scotland. And this is the country which Lord Roden described, five months ago, as infested with treason and deluged with blood, and which has been mocked by the solemn inquiries of a Committee, at an expense of 50,0001., with a view of establishing such absurd and monstrous allegations.

THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO DROWN A FEMALE.—On Wednesday, at the Kensington Petty Ses sions, John Dale, who was charged on Tuesday with attempting to drown a young female with whom he had cohabited, named Elizabeth Hemmings, was brought up for further examination before Sir J. S. Lillie and Mr. D. Sutton, the Magistrates. Some circumstantial evidence having been adduced, Sir J. S. Lillie directed the deposi tions to be taken in the proper form, and having been in formed that the complainant was then in attendance, desired she should be called in. On being brought into the room she persisted in declaring that the prisoner bad ' not thrown her into the water, said that a quarrel had arisen between them from her following him when she had no right, not being his wife, to do so, and in solemn terms refused to be bound over to prosecute him. Sir J. S. Lillie said under these circumstances he should again re mand the prisoner, that the Beech might consider how they would dispose of the case.
