THE COMMANDERS OF THE ROYAL NAVY.—A meeting of veterans of the above rank was held on Monday last, at Portsea, to consider the propriety of addressing a memorial to the Board of Admiralty, praying their Lordships' generous consideration of their claims for the benefits of retirement upon a like liberal scale proportionate with their brother offi cers of a step higher in rank—the captain. Commander Smith having been requested to take the chair, and Commander Gould elected Hon. Seceretary, the latter read the several letters from the London and Plymouth Committees upon the subject they were met to discus; after which a Sub-Committee was appointed to draw up a memorial, to be submitted for ap proval at a subsequent meeting, in the meantime to com munieate with the Plymouth Committee, requesting their sentiments upon the subject. The Committee met again yes terday, when a form of memorial was read and approved of, and it was resolved to forward it to the Chief Committee (London), who will frame the one for signature and presen tation to the Lords of the Admiralty from the memorials sent from the several Provisional Committees.—Hampshire Telegraph. The French squadron at Bourbon and Madagascar is com posed at present of six vessels :—the Berceau corvette, of 30 guns, bearing the flag of the officer in command, Captain Romain-Desfosses ; the Voltigeur brig, of 20 guns ; the Egerei tender, the Zele lighter, the Mayottais transport, and the Crocodile steamer. The Colobri, which was lately lost in the Indian seas, formed part of this station, as did the Duconedic brig, now on mission at La Plata.—Paris Paper. The President, 50, Captain Stanley, at Portsmouth, is com pletely rigged, and her sails all ready for bending, but she waits the dockyard men to complete the caulking. The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Brown, wi I go to Spitheid to-day or Tuesday. The Lynx, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant Commander Nott, has arrived at Devonport from Cork to be paid off. She is to be re-commissioned by a commander with a complement of 60 men. The Fairy steam yacht tender went out on Friday, with Commander Crispin on board, to try her new screw, and on Saturday went to Southampton. She returned from South ampton pier to the mooring opposite the King's Stairs, at the dockyard, a distance of nearly 19 miles, in one hour and ten minutes. The screw is rather smaller than that lately fitted, and does not shake the vessel so much when used. The Alban steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Lowe, left Devonport, on Saturd my morning, for Cork. The Comet steamer, Lieut. Prettyman, towed up, from Cowes to Portsmouth, on Friday, the dockyard lump, with the pile-driving machines and of her implements, used in the construction of the pier at East Cowes, which is now nearly completed. The keel of the Rifleman dispatch steam-boat has been laid down in the dock in which the Centaur was built. She will be proceeded with immediately; her timbers are nearly all ready. The Monkey steamer arrived at Portsmouth on Friday from Woolwich, with some effects of Admiral Sir Chas. Ogle STEALING TIMBER FROM THE DOCKYARD AT CHATHAM. _ On Friday, at the Rochester County Police-office, two county justices, William Master Smith, Esq., and Thomas Baker, Esq., were occupied upwards of four hours investi gating a case of felony against two men of very respectable appearance, named Richard Cooper, a master wheelwright, res.ding at Navy-row, Gillingham ; and Samuel Buddle, a rrsident on the Island of Bishop's Marsh—an island that is situated between Sheerness and Chatham. The charge against the two prisoners is for stealing pieces of timber called balks, the property of Messrs. George Baker and Son, contractors for improving Chatham dockyard. Mr. Wiliam Fielden, the foreman of the works, from in formation he received, went, on the 4th instant, to Mr. George Frederick Newman's timber-yard at Gillingham, and there saw three pieces of timber, which he identified by a mirk as the property of Messrs. Baker, of Lambeth, Sur rey. He then went to the same yard with Binns, the con stable, when another piece was produced by Mr. Newman, which piece he also identified. The four pieces were stolen from the works carrying on at the dockyard. Mr. Newman. carpenter, at Gillingham, stated that he purchase the timber from the prisoner Cooper, on the 10th of July last, for which he agreed to pay 2/. 15s. He ad vancett 2/. on the purchase, and was to pay the remainder on the removal of the timber from the wharf of Mr. Briggs, at Gillingham. On the timber being pronounced to be stolen, he went to Mr. Cooper and asked him how he came by it, when the prisoner replied that he bought it of the pri-over Buddle. He had purchased timber of the prisoner Cooper before. A cumber of other witnesses were examined, whose evi dence tended to show the connexion of the two prisoners in the robbery, and that the timber used to be concealed in a ertek, near to Bishop's Marsh, up the river Medway, until the opportunity arrivt d for disposing of it. It was also shown that the prisoner Cooper had sold a quantity of tim ber to Mr. Piper, at Maidstone, that had also been stolen from the dockyard. _ _ _ . . . Tnomas Cooper Pines, the constable, deposed that he had charge of four pieces of fir timber that are now lying in her Majesty's dockyard at Chatham, and which he re moved from Mr. Newman's timber-yard on Monday the 6th instant. _ . . The magistrates committed the prisoners for trial; but would take bail for their appearance at the next quarter session at Maidstone, themselver in 1001. each, and two securities, each of 50/. The prisoners found bail shortly afterwards. ST. SA VIOUR ' S CHURCH, COALPIT-DEATH.—This beautiful edifice, situated near Bristol, in a district where the ministrations of the Church have been much needed, was consecrated on Thursday last by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. His Lordship was met at the entrance by nearly forty of the clergy of this city and its neighbourhood, where the usual preliminary cere monies took place. The Bishop and clergy then entered the church, and proceeded to the chancel, repeating the 24th Psalm ; and, having taken their seats, the deed of convey ance was presented to his Lordship by Mr. Hewitt, in the name. of the lords of the manor, Lord Middleton, Sir John Smyth, and Edward F. Colston, Esq., who had given sites for the church, parsonage, and schools. The Bishop then read the consecration prayers ; after which, Dr. Maddy, the Chancellor of Glouce s t er , rea d t h e act o f consecra ti on . The Rev. J. R. Woopford, who has been presented to the incum bency, read the prayers, assisted in the lessons by the Rev. Dr. Allen and the Rev. P. Freeman; the communion ser vice by the Bishop and his chaplains. The Rev. J. R. Runtly, Rural Dean, preached an admirable sermon. The impressive ceremony of consecrating the church having been gone through, the Bishop and clergy proceeded to the church-yard, which was solemnly set apart for the burial of those "who die in the Lord." The congregation then re entered the church, where the Bishop administered the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, assisted by the Rev. Archdeacon Thorp and the Rev. Canons Murray Browne and George N. Barrow, his Lordship's chaplains. After the service an elegant dejeuner was provided for the Bishop, clergy, &c., in a tent in the fie ld adjoining the churchyard. The building is a singularly chaste edifice, in the deco a r i at e e s d . Gothic style, and consists of a chancel, nave,and aisles. The chancel is appropriately separated from the body of the church by an oak screen, and is lighte d by windows of stained glass, painted by Williment, of London, and Bell, of Bristol—Bristol Journal. LARGE DORSET AND SOMERSET SHEEP FAIR.— Arpt,EstiAlv, OCT. 7.—This was the first day of the great annual show , f ewes in lamb, principally from the above named counties. Many graziers and dealers were there. About 60,000 had been penned by twelve o'clock, and many snore continually flocking in. Many were sold even before they had time to pen them. A brisker sale had not been known for several years. The ewes in excellent condition ; the buyers were from all parts of the country, many from the Isle of Wight. The Somerset or horn sheep sold from 365. to 485.: Dorset do., 32s to 455. ; South Down do., 18s. to 33s Mr. Joseph Simms, from Kingston, Dorset, sold 214 D.)rset ewes, at 365. each. Mr. William Dunning, Tittle Tr,-nty. seven miles from Dorchester, 300 Dorset ewes, 355. Mr. Neale, ) South Downs, 255. each. Mr. Pennister Settle sold 150 Somerset horn ewes at 48s. each. There were but few lamas; no rams or sheep for the butchers. Many dralers and jobbers have arrived this evening, and a vast quantity of sheep ready for to-morrow's sale. Every bed, stable, &c., is taken here, and all the inns in Andover and neighbo iring villages. Great preparations are making for Weyh 11 fair, which c)mmences on Friday next, and continues five days. Very few hops brought in. Rise IN THE PRICE OF COALS.—A considerable rise has taken place in the price of this material. Here, the cart, which four months ago was five shillings and sixpence, has advanced to seven shillings and sixpence. All the collieries in the county are in the fullest operation, but such is the rapid consumpt from the quantity exported, from what is required by the ironworks, by steam boats and steam carriages, that the supply is hardly adequate to the demand. At Ardressan, we understand, difficulty is experienced in supplying some of the steam-vessels which regularly ply from that port. The collier's powers of output are in these circumstances taxed to the utmost, and his remuneration will, of course, be in proportion. At the Hurlford, in the neighbourhood of Kilmarnock, about double of the men are employed that were engaged last year.—Ayr Obserrer. THE SMOKE NUISANCE.—At Manchester Police court,m on T ues d ay l ast , s i x part i es were summone d f or no t con suming were imposed sm o k e o f t h e i r f actory c hi mneys. P ena lti es o f imposed in each case, with the understanding that the penalties would not be enforced if the nuisance were remedied, as the parties informed t,2, against said they were en deavouring to a d op t means to burn o the smoke. The town clerk, who prosecuted on behalf of the Corporation, said that on a previous occasion it had been suggested that though the in mills of small consumption of smoke was tolerably b w le, to consume power, it was very difficult, if not impracticable, it thoroughly where a large amount of powe c r a required. Since that time he had sent the smoke inspectors to Hyde, Staleybridge, and Preston, in order to mlk s e - ob t eer vations on the extent to which smokel was consumed in mills of large power in those places. The first and most striking instance was that of the late Mr. Ashton, of Hyde, where the boiler was of 400 horse power. They watched the mill nine hours, without the slightest knowledge on the part of Mr. Ashton's people that any observation was being taken, and the result was, that during the nine hours there was only eight minutes during w! ich even what was called moderate smoke could be seen ; and during eight hours fifty-two minutes, with 400 horse rowe7, no smoke whatever was seen to issue. Tll.ll SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1845 THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT IN GERMANY. FRANKFORT, Ocr. 7.---It4Pears that the King of Prussia, towards the close of the audience which he granted on the , 2d inst. to the Berlin Court of Aldermen and Town Council (who presented him with the celebrated address respecting the religious movement in this confederation), expressed a I wish that no publicity would be given for the present to the proceedings of that day. Hence the silence of the Berlin . journals—not a word on the subject appearing in them up to the 4th instant, although they had not forgotten to state, at the proper time, that the town council had taken upon them selves the joint responsibility for the address which was drawn up by the Court of Aldermen. Important portions, however, of the King's reply have somehow found their way into the journals of this city and of Cologne. It appears the alder men received orders to present their address at a solemn audience on the 2d instant. They accordingly proceeded to the palace in their robes, and with all the outward appear ances of civic dignity. They were very graciously received by their amiable Monarch, who ordered the chief burgomaster, Krauswick, to read the address ; which, after eulogising the present religious movement, and asserting that it might lead to much good if the state would undertake to guide it, briefly alluded to the two great religious parties at present existing —" the old historical one, with its literal faith and exclusive orthodoxy; and the movement one, which will not be re stricted by human ordinances, but will seek the spirit of truth in its very source"—and concluded by beseeching his Majesty to convoke a committee from all the provinces of the state, in order to draw up a system of Church Government in conformity with the public spirit. The King, in his re markable reply, stated that he had delayed receiving the address in order to give the chief authorities of the city ample time to consider whether they ought to venture upon such a step as they had taken, for he could not admit that they had a positive right to come to him on such an occa sion. It must appear to all very singular that the head magistrate of Berlin should hand him a theological docu ment. As the Reformation had rejected the supreme head of the Church, the reformers had conceded his rights to the state. Those rights were accordingly those of the Crown, the burden of which uas thereby increased ; he longed for the time when he could make over that burden to the Church itself. It was one of his principles that the Church should be formed by itself. His father, who was now in his eternal rest, had left the Church a precious jewel —viz., the Synod. The late Minister of Public Worship had considered the Synod worthy of little attention, and so the convocation did not take place. The present Minister and himself (the King) were not afraid of the light and of publi city. If the Synod would speak out, then he should do the same. If they remained silent, he should follow their example. He could not admit that the board of aldermen had sufficiently considered the interests of the Church or maintained the Prc testant brotherhood. Under Frederick the First the 70,000 inhabitants of Berlin had more spiritual pastors than its pre sent population of 400,000. Even when the want of church accommodation was greatly felt, the civic authorities had raised difficulties in the way of the renewal of it. An Eng lish community had asked for the joint use of a church in the city patronage, and been refused, whilst the new Dis senters had two churches granted to them without, as he believed, even making this demand. With respect to the contents of the address, he was sorry to find that they had called the believers in the Church a party. " Gentlemen," continued his Majesty, " you are the first who have ventured to give that name officially. And yet those believers are men who have taken an oath, and who wish to keep it. There are, on the other hand, ecclesiastics who have volun tarily and openly taken certain oaths in holy places, before the very altar of God; but who have broken them, and have gone about the country in order to stir up the people. These things you have not mentioned, and I must, therefore, ex press to you my serious displeasure. Gentlemen (concluded the King), you are my friends, and lam your true friend. The bond which, during more than four centuries, has connected the prince and the city, will keep us still longer united. Such is my hope, and with it I now dismiss you in peace." These important remarks of the King made , as might be expected, a serious impression on the m inds of the auditors. The de putation shortly afterwards left the palace. On their appear ance in the courtyard of the Royal residence, they were greeted by the assembled crowds with great cheering. LICENSES FOR KEEPING BILLIARD TABLES.—At Greenwich Petty Sessions, on Saturday, held for the hun dreds of Blackheath and Little and Lessness, application was made by Messrs. Suter and Bristow, solicitors, on behalf of several persons for licenses to keep billiard and bagatelle tables, &c. Mr. Bristow, on behalf of his clients, observed that under the Act of Parliament which came into operation on the previous day (10th October), he had to apply for licenses. He was aware that there was a difficulty in the case, as the eighth section of the Act specified that notice of all such applications should be given ; such notices to be placed on the doors of the parish church, and also on the doors of the premises of the person so applying for licenses, on three consecutive Sundays, in the month of July, the same as if the parties were applying for a license for a new ale and spirit house. If the magistrates took that view of the case it would be a great hardship upon those parties for whom he applied ; as, in the event of their permitting such tables to be used, it would leave them open to the persecu tion and extortion of common informers, who would, no doubt, be on the qui vive to sue for the penalties under the Act. Similar applications had been made to the bench of magistrates at Canterbury, who, although they had taken this view of the case, and refused to grant the licenses, had tacitly given their consent to the parties applying to use such tables until the usual period of the ensuing year (1846), for making such application. Mr. Suter then, on behalf of his clients, made a similar application, urging upon the atten tion of the magistrates the manifest intention of the Legisla ture, when they passed this Act, to have been that temporary licenses should be granted for the protection of the public, but that through inadvertence some such clause had been omitted in the framing of that Act. The Bench then called upon Mr. Finch, their cleak, for his opinion, when that gentleman, having read the ninth section, which enacts "That such licenses shall be granted only on the usual general annual licensing day, or the adjournment day thereof, for the district," &c., observed that he was decidedly of opinion that the Bench had no power under the Act to grant any such licenses except on the above-mentioned days, which must be fifteen days of the 25th of August in each year. That, although the effect of this would be to prevent persons keeping public billiards, &c., for hire, and those who kept them for the amusement of their customers, it would not by any means affect the Licensed Victuallers, who were specially exempted by this Act, and were permitted to keep the tables, subject, of course, to certain penalties under 9th George IV., cap. 61 (the old Games and Wagers Act), which was not repealed, if they knowingly suffered gambling for stakes or liquors to be carried on in their houses. The Bench expressed their great regret at their inability to accede to the applications which had been made, all of which were accordingly, much to the chagrin of the several applicants, refused. ALARM OF FIRE AT THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.— During the performance of the first piece on Friday evening, the screams of a female, and a rushing noise, resembling the sudden escape of gas, was heard, which caused some persons to raise a cry of " Fire." The effect was an instantaneous rush of a great portion of the audience towards the doors. Tne confusion and alarm was, however, speedily checked by the presence of mind of Mr. J. Br..wne, the stay-manager, who came forward, and assured the audience that there was no danger to be apprehended; and that so far from the house being. on fire, the entire alarm had been caused by water. The fact was, that one of the attendants in the pit-saloon, requiring some water, had turned by mistake the cock of the large pipe in the pit passage, from which the water rushed with such violence as to terrify the poor woman, and send her screaming for help with all her might. So that, instead of being roasted to death, the people in the pit ran a much greater risk of being drowned. THE ZOLLVEREIN DUTIES.—It is, no doubt, known to our readers, that the congress of the Zollverein has been sitting at Carlsruhe for some time, to consider certain pro posed alterations in the duties on yarns and manufactured goods ; and, amongst others, a proposal for greatly increas ing the duties on cotton, linen, and woollen yarns. We now learn that the deliberations of the congress ou these important questions have been brought to a close; and that, for the present, the duty on yarns (cotton, linen, and worsted) will not be increased. It is understood that Prussia, the great opponent of the increase, had consented, by way of compro mise, to an increase which would raise the duty on cotton twist to 3 1.3 d Prussian dollars percentner (about 10s. per cwt. English); but this offer was refused by the deputies of the smaller States who insisted upon a much higher duty, and who, no doubt, will again bring forward the subject on the first fa vourable occasion. Though no change has been made with respect to yarns, we are sorry to learn that a very great in crease has been made in the duties on figured worsted, and cotton and worsted goods,. which, from the Ist of January next, are to be raised' fitint 30 to 50 Prussian dollars per centner (i.e. from 41. 10s. to 71. 10s. per cwt. English). This class of goods comprises all the fancy fabrics made in Brad ford and Huddersfield, such as figured Orleans, merinos, Pa ramattas,cml e a s n pa in s s i n s t n b g e s u e n f d a e b r r i d e i s ff b e r a e s n t l a n t a t m e r l e y s . . pantaloon stuffs, &c., an d a grea t man y o ther arti beAens n t i he lar t g ra e d e e x w te i n th t, Giteris to be feared that the important increase of duty above men tioned will be a severe blow to the Yorkshire manufacturers. —Manchester Guardian. DISTRESSING CASE.—A train of very common-place circumstances have led to the tragical death of a respectable wife and mother at Braehead, Carluk e . M rs . W—, whose husband was in service at Braehead-house, had the Privilege o f supplying herself with pot - herbs from the garden ; b u t it came to be suspected that she had put forth her hand up on s ome of the superior kinds of fruit, and she was instantly commanded to leave the place at the ensuing term. This affront affected her so strongly, that she became melancholy, and somewhat disordered in mind; and though upon mature investigation she was cleared of all blame touching the fruit, still her mind did not recover its usual tone, and on the morning of the 29th ult. she was found lying on the floor with a razor near at han d, j ust expiring in a pool of blood. After her funeral the authorities judged it proper to have the body disinterred for the purpose of its undergoing a surgical operation, has and the result is, that her husband been com mitted to gaol on suspicion of murden—Glasgow Courier. FRAUDS ON CHEMISTS AND PERFUMERS—On Sa turday evening, a person of rather gentlemanly address and appearance was apprehended, who has for some time past been victimising the chemists and perfumers in different quarters of the town. The following will show the prisoner's usual mode of procedure. Upwards of a month since, he called at the shop of Mr. Rodd, in St. Martin's-le-Grand , and, having selected some bottles of macassar oil, announced himself as Mr. Lawrence, the assistant secretary to the General Post-office, and carelessly observed that the bill might be sent to his office there for payment, as lie had not money in his pocket to pay without changing a cheque. He took the small package with him, and the bill was afterwards sent to Mr. Lawrence, but that gentleman of course knew nothing of the transaction. Tyrrell, one of the Post-office officers, being sent to inquire into-the matter, ascertained that the individual in question had no sooner obtained the macassar oil from Mr. Rodd than he took it to the shop of Mr. Keeling, in St. Paul's Churchyard, stating that he had purchased it there some time previously; but that his phy sician would not allow him to use it on account of a peculiar state of health, and, it being useless to him, he requested that they would return him a portion of the pnce paid for it. Part of the money was accordingly paid to him ; and the officer found that be had practised the same kind of trick upon numerous other tradespeople. On Saturday evening, he re peated his visit to Mr. Keeling, who, however, recognised him, and handed him over to the police. He had then with him a large skin bag and sponge, and other things, which had, no doubt, just been obtained from some of the trade. He will be examined before the aldermen at Guildhall this day. POTATO PANIC.—The reluctance evinced by the farmers in the neighbourhood of Appleby, to expose their potatoes for sale, noticed in last week's Journal, still con tinues. There was again but one cart-load in the market on Saturday last, and which was sold at an exorbitant price. We imagine the growers are entertaining the idea that the disease raging amongst potatoes in the country will create such a scarcity as to enable them to dispose of theirs in a short time, because they have steered clear of the malady, at whatever price their conscience will allow them to ask. They strongly remind us of th e fooli s h Da killed the goose that laidhim a golden e gg pe r, e cn" e the d :f fable, who ex pectation of becoming as rich as a king at ona r • tZe. in derivable fromwhich is, that "those who covet 'great moral are often too sharp for themselves, so become pccif" " Carlisle Journal. THE RIVER PLATE PLYMOUTH, Ocr..l2.—The brig Magnolia, Captain Thomas Johnson, left Buenos Ayrea on the morning of the 7th of Au gust, and arrived at Plymouth on the 12th of October-62 days' passage. At the time of her departure the greatest con sternation prevailed, and a warlike collision WAS hourly ex- petted. - The crews of the Argentine squadron had been brought to Buenos Ayres by the English steamer Firebrand and the French steamer Fulton, and in the latter, on the morning of the 7th, was General or Admiral Brown. The English flag had been hoisted on board one of the Argentine squadron. On the arrival of the Firebrand and 1, ulton, the beach at Buenos Ayres was crowded with Englishmen and ether fo reigners, anxiously awaiting the news from Monte Vide,'- The English resident landowners (with their labourers) bad abandoned their estates, and Captain Johnson, with mile.* masters of British vessels, had, about 10 days before leaving, received notice from Captain Hotham, of the war-steamer Gorgon, to be prepared, if required, to take British subjects on board. On the 7th of August there were at Buenos Ayres the Gorgon and Firebrand steamers and the Dolphin schooner, with some other British vessels-of-war; but at Monte Video there:was a far greater fleet; consisting of English, French, and Brazilians—the latter under the orders of the English com manding officer. The Buenos Ayreans had sunk vessels in the river to pre vent the approach of the combined squadrons, and they had proclaimed a severe conscription. Every male born in the country, of sufficient age, was liable to serve, whether of native or foreign parentage. Everything was looking war like, no native labourers could be obtained, and the streets were deserted. The exchange at Buenos Ayres had fallen to 3 1 4, and Captain Johnson was obliged to give 300 per cent. more for his provisions than be would have had to pay six days pre viously —Freight :-61. dry hides, offered for the continent ; 31. 7s. 6d. green hides, given for London. There was rather less than the usual number of English merchant vessels at Buenos Ayres, but plenty of foreign ships, whose numbers were daily increasing, The Magnolia goes to Cowes for orders, and will probably discharge her cargo at Antwerp. She has brought passengers one of the firm of Moore de Vici (formerly merchants at Monte Video), his wife, two.sisters, child and servant, who proceed in the brig to Cowes. The Magnolia sailed in company with the English brig Constance, bound to London, and the Prussian brig Carl, for Havre. MANIFESTO OF THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH MINISTERS. _ . We have received, by way of Brazil, accounts from Monte Video to the 7th of August. They are most important. We learn from them that Mr. Ouseley and Count Deffaudis de manded their passports from the Buenos Ayrean Government, and left the Buenos Ayrean territory on the Ist of August. They landed at Monte Video on the 2d, and one of their first steps alter arriving there was to address the following mani festo to Senor Santiago Vasquez, the Monte Videan Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to cause it to be published for the in • formation of the public. It is as follows : " Monte Video, Aug. 4, 1845. " The Government of the Oriental Republic accepted, on the 11th of July, with a warmth and confidence which tes tify to the most honourable spirit of conciliation, the media tion undertaken by England and France for the purpose of putting an end to the war which the Government of Buenos Ayres still persists in carrying on against the republic of Uruguay. " The Government of Buenos Ayres, on the contrary, has unfortunately refused all the overtures and propositions which have been made to it by the undersigned Ministers Plenipo tentiary of England and France, to establish that mediation on a peaceful basis. In the first instance, it has refused that suspension of hostilities which international usages and the principles of humanity commanded under such circumstances. Subsequently it has also refused the demand which has been addressed to it to withdraw from the territory and the coast of Uruguay the Argentine troops and squadron, whose alli ance with a certain number of Orientali and of foreigners, paid for the open and avowed purpose of imposing by force of arms a change of government on that country, form a direct attack on its independence. This it has done, although the latter of these demands was founded on the ex press terms of treaties which the Government of Buenos Ayres itself has signed, in the conclusion of which England and France have taken a part more or less direct, and in which they have recognised in the most explicit manner the perfect and absolute independence of the republic of Uruguay. " In this state of things the undersigned consider it neces sary to enter into fuller explanations than they have hitherto had the honour to present to his Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Oriental Republic, of the object and the spirit of the mission which they are called upon to accom plish in concert. " The object.of this mission is that which is indicated by the treaties of 1828 and 1840—that is to say, the perfect and absolute independence of Uruguay. Now, in ,order that that independence may exist, it is necessary that the troops, the squadron, and, with them, every description of Buenos Ayrean influence, should disappear from the country, and that then the people of the Oriental should be left in - perfect liberty to elect by the methods traced out by the laws and the consti tution the chief who shall preside over their destinies. It has been attempted to justify the persevering attacks of the Government of Buenos Ayres against the Uruguay by the part which foreigners have taken in the defence of that country. But those foreigners did not take up arms until after the invasion of the republic by the Buenos Ayrean army ; they have not taken them up, like the Buenos Ayrean troops, by the orders of their respective - Governments, and for the accomplishment of ambitious projects, but on their own accord, and to protect themselves, their families, and their prcperties, from the violence and the spoliation which threaten them. In fine, all these foreigners, have no more ardent desire than to return to their peaceful and useful oc cupations so soon as the re-establishment of the Oriental re public in complete independence, shall enable them to do it with safety. " The spirit of the mission which has been intrusted to the Plenipotentiaries of England and of France is that of the most perfect disinterestedness. The undersigned will not condescend to refute the absurd calumnies which attribute perfidious projects of invasion to the mediating Powers; but they declare, in common, that they do not claim, in any way, to reserve to their own Governments any share of that domineering and illegitimate influence which they combat, and will ever combat, on the part of the Government of Buenos Ayres. Whoever may be the ohief whom the Oriental people think fit to place at their head, provided he is chosen with perfect freedom and by the fair application of constitutional laws, the undersigned are ready to recog nise him in the name of England and France. "The only kind of influence which the undersigned desire to exercise in the republic is an influence of peace and recon ciliation. They wish to persuade the Orientals, of all par ties, to put an end to civil discords, which can only profit their common enemy, and precipitate their country into an abyss of evils. The undersigned have further need of the sincere and unreserved concurrence of the Oriental Government to bring . about this holy work of reconciliation; and they know sufficiently well what are its patriotic intentions in that respect to have any fear in asking of it the solemn assurance of its entife concurrence. "The undersigned avail themselves with pleasure of this opportunity to renew to his Excellency the assurance of their high consideration. " GORE OUSELEY. " Baron DEFAUDIS. "To his Excellency Senor Santiago Vasquez, Minister of Foreign Relations, &c., at Monte Video." In furtherance of the determination of the Governments of England and France "to combat now and ever" the claims of the Government of Buenos Ayres to dictate to the people of Monte Video whom they shall have for their President,the Eng lish and French squadrons have seized upon the blockading squadron, and sent off Admiral Brown and the crews of his vessels to Buenos Ayres, in the French steamer Fulton and the English steamer Firebrand. They have also established a strict blockade of the Bucio, Of Colonia, and of the other ports in the Monte Videan territory through which Genaral Oribe derives all his supplies, except those of beef, which he obtains by plundering the country, and have landed 1,500 to 1,600 French and English marines, a force quite sufficient to deprive Oribe of all chance either of taking the city of Monte Video, or of remaining for any length of time in the Monte Videan territory. Up to the latest accounts he continued to defy the orders of the English and French Governments, but his resistance is purely ridiculous, and must cease very shortly, either from defeat or the mutiny of his army. Meanwhile, the grand object of preserving the Independence cf the cast bank of the river Plate, and thus of rendering it impossible for the Buenos Ayrean Government to cut off the intercourse of European nations with the interior of South America, has been completely effected. • Ditto Half Shares •• Ditto Quarter Shares • • Liv err!, Ormskrk,& PrStrl London and Birmingham 2 Ditto Thirds • • • • • • • • • • Ditto Quarters • • • • • .• London and Blackwell • • Oxfd. & Chltnham.

SHEERNESS, SATURDAY.—As might have been anticipated from my last communication, Mr. Saunders, the pilot who brought the Eclair round here from Portsmouth, has also fallen a victim to the fever. He died last night about half past ten o'clock, and was buried in the quarantine-ground this morning. Lieutenant Isaacson is a little better, but not yet out of danger. Dr. Coffey and the other sufferers on board the Worcester are going on quite favourably. The medical attendants, Drs. Stewart and Rogers, continue well. SUNDAY.—Dr. Rogers was attacked yesterday afternoon, and was dangerously ill last night, but is considered setter to-day. Lieutenant Isaacson died this morning. One other fresh case has occurred since yesterday. Dr. Heath, of the Dwarf, having volunteered his services, had been put on board the Revenge to watch any symptoms of disease among the healthy part of the crew. p s ex t. e a n a c e e , 0 SHOOTING A POLICEMAN.—We regret to say that an affair of this nature, which may turn out one of fatal con ,olccukrreodn s a u t n H da o v tlt m am orn s i t n re g e . t Bltriadpepweealrla, that, about about half past a lf. that hour, three - by their very respectably-dressed persons, gentlemen exterior, were found drunk • . and disorderly in one of the neighbouring streets, and in the act of attempting to break open a door.

Immediately after, police-officer seized one of the pistols and fired at No. 418. The contents entered the bridge of the unfortunate as was subsequently ascertained, man's nose, and passed, in a slanting direction through his head. He was placed on a mattress in the Bride well, and surgical assistance was speedily procured. The wound bled profusely. Subsequently he was conveyed to the Infirmary in Brewnlow-street, where he of yesterday in a very precarious state. Upy duringto the whole doctors were unable to extract the all, last night the conse quently to pronounce any opinion as to the probability of i man's recovery. There is every reason to fear that t.le t pistol e was loaded with ball or a large slug, for the wound is of such a nature as would have been inflicted with a charge of that kind, and a large slug has been extracted from the second pistol. It was rumoured yesterday that both the pistols had been loaded for the last six months, and that the owner had carried them with him upon a tour he made during the past summer through the south of England. The three prisoners, on being booked, gave fictitious names ; but it has since been ascertained that their real names are, Emanuel Bromilow, Thomas Benbow, and Thomas Francis Russell. The latter, who had the sum of 28/. upon his person, fired the shot. One of them states that he is a medical man, and another that he is brother to a timber merchant ; Russell is an attorney. The unfortunate police-officer is an Irishman by birth. This day (Monday) the parties charged were brought before Mr. Rushton and a bench of magistrates, when Benbow and Bromilaw were charged with forcing open the door of a per son called Wothing, in Hill-street. They made no defence. The bench, after examining Wothing acid one of the police officers, took up the case of Russell, who is an attorney. The witnesses in support of the charge were being examined when this account left Liverpool, so that we are unable to give the decision come to by the magistrates. Russell con ducted his own defence with great coolness, but iewas evident from his manner, that he was suffering severely from the un fortunate position in which he has placed himself. The police man still remains in a dangerous position. The ball has not yet been extracted. The Earl of Aberdeen left town yesterday afternoon for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. ttELA.TIVE CLOSING PR RA ILWAY SHARE IN THIC PRINCIPAL C [TIES AND TOWNS 12 SCOTLAND, AND IRELANI NAMES or RAI VAYS.I Aberdeen ••• • • • ••••• •• Airdrie and Coatbridge • • Arbroath and Forfar • • •• Ditto Half Shares • • • • A nnagh , Col r., & Portrush Bandon and Bantry • • • • • Reifast and Ballymena •• Be: ast and County Down Bi z l a , 1 iil.Lan. & Ches.Jne.

NOTE.—The Bank appears to be rather rapidly in creasing its circulation, which is very unusual just before the payment of the dividends. I presume the directors are doing so in anticipation of the large sums which will shortly be deposited with them to the credit of the Accountant-General as deposits on the new rail ways, although a considerable portion thereof will most likely be invested in Government Securities during the autumn ; yet there can be but little doubt that there will•also be large sums paid in in bank notes. October 11, 1845. COSMOPOLITE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—There appears to be a very erroneous opinion prevalent rest: ecting the money employed in the formation of railways ; some persons talk and write on the subject, as if there were so much gold and silver actually sunk and deposited in the soil, instead of iron, stone, and wood. The fact is, that no money is lost to the community, although such immense sums are ex pended, and no pressure can, or ought to be, apprehended or felt in the Money Market, unless more cogent reasons be addueed than have hitherto appeared in some of the newspapers and other publications. These remarks will also apply to the speculators in shares ; if A buys of B, for instance, on the Stock Exchange, the transaction is merely a barter. A takes the shares, and B receives the proceeds, which he again employs; therefore if shares or stock be taken out of the market the money still remains there for future operations. Indeed, all the ramifications of the railway system, from the daily labourer up to the wealthy iron manu facturer, may be considered as a species of barter or ex ' change of money for work and materials. Permit me to examine its various phases, seriatim—at least so far as the general currency of the United. Kingdom is con cerned. First ; upon the projection, or formation of a company, the deposits of the subscribers are paid into some local bank; perchance to be invested in Exchequer bills or stock, until the ensuing meeting of Parliament ; they are then paid into the Bank of England, and re main under the control of the Accountant-General as a guarantee for the bond fide nature of the undertaking ; now, in these primary stages, whether the deposits be invested in the funds, or used by the local banks in loans and discounts, or subsequently to augment the circula tion of the Bank of England and its branches, there is no question but that the amount thereof will be in the market in some shape or another, for it is quite absurd to suppose that the banking establishments keep their customers' baknces in the iron repositories unemployed, when, in fact (as is well known), that all the private London, and many of the provincial bankers, depend solely upon these resources, as a set-off for the expenses and trouble of keeping their clients' accounts, without any charge of commission whatever. The next stage is, either the passing or rejection of the Bill by Parliament. In either case the deposits are returned, and most likely lodged at their old quarters in the local bank ' • if the Bill be rejected, the company is of course then dissolved, and the deposits (less the ex penses) returned to the subscribers. I now proceed to notice the operations of the company incorporated. After due registration of the proprietors. the first step will probably be for the directors to make a call—how many of the subscribers, to some of the schemes, will be at home on that occasion, Pun, h can better illustrate than myself ; suflicit foram to say, that these calls must not be slighted or disregarded, either by the then registered proprietors. or their heirs, exe cutors, or assigns. And here I would beg to observe on the awful responsibility involved by the indiscriminate application for shares—no matter what the project is, or who are the projectors—every one must, or ought to be aware, that after paying the subscription deposits, at the banker's, he cannot get a negotiable title for his scrip without first signing the subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary deeds ; wherein he engages for himself, his heirs, and executors, to pay up all the calls for which he is liable to the full extent of his subscriptiort: Diok at this and take warning, ye professional men and fathers of limited incomes, engaged in these pursuits, and tremble for the future welfare of your wives and children, should it please the Almighty to remove yon suddenly . from them—and ye, tradesmen, who perhaps have, during a long course of honest industry, saved a few hundred pounds—how can many of ye submit. to be so entrapped by some of these cunning soi-disant direc tors to write and sign the deeds for hundreds of shares, upon condition of giving them one-half, for the use of their influence in obtaining them ? So thate for the sake of a moiety of the premiums (if any) you incur all the risk, as well as responsibility, for future calls. The instalments, or calls, are now coming in, and the next step in advance will be, the purchase of land : and here again the proceeds will either go to the landlord, to pay off some old mortgage, or they are re-investecl, or lodged to his credit at his banker's until some suitable investment be found for them. The levels, cuttings, embankments, tunnellizgs, &c., are also now in progress, and large sums are drawn from the bank and disbursed, every week, to the men employed which finds its way to the bakers, butchers, and general shopkeepers, for food and clothing for themselves and families. With a portion of these moneys, on market days, the bakers buy corn of the farmers ; the butchers buy cattle of the grazers ; and the shopkeepers hand over their weekly or monthly receipts to the mer chant, manufacturer, or wholesale houses ; which sums are again deposited at the bank, to the credit of their several accounts. _ _ And finally, comes the liquidation of all the expenses for the rails, engines, law charges and surveys, &c.; &c.; but, as in the former case, wages for labour and work done, form the principal items —more especially in the manufacture of iiron. The same remarks will equally apply, both to the professional gentlemen and iron masters, as well as to the contractors, for any specific work, at a fixed price. Thus, it will be seen, that through the medium of the various banks, the permuta tions and combinations of moneys, discounts and credits, are continually going on. to an enormous extent; whilst only a small, comparative amount of cash, is actually re• quired, to adjust the balances between the respective parties. - Perhaps I cannot better illustrate these important operations, than by a reference to the clearing house in London, where upwards of four millions sterling are (on an average) daily liquidated, by the mere passing of cheques, exclusively, between the private banking-houses in the City. On a future occasion, I may probably offer a few re marks on the reproductive process which the capital of this country is at present undergoing. Many who now read these lines will, in all likelihood, live to witness the total extinction of the National Debt, by the immense revenue which railways will ultimately be the means of bringing into operation for that purpose.—l am, Sir, &c., Oct. 7, 1845. COSMOPOLITE. • MALICIOUS OUTRAGE AT DALHAM.—On Saturday night last, the 4th inst., some evil-disposed per-on or persons entered the sheep-fold of Mr. William King of Dailium, broke the neck of throe ewe sheep and left them; but we are happy to add, that as Mr. King is in an association, the per porators have boos foiled their attempt to injure (00V:feral& POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday arid elderly man, who stated his name to be George Bal., of No. 9, Siaymore-road, Ilighbury, was charged before Sir William Magnay with obtaining goods at varikars times from chemists, druggists, and perfumers,:in all parts of London, under false pretences. - Mr. Alfred Allchin, of 79, St. Paul's-churchyard, said that he gave the prisoner into custody on Saturday in con sequence of being informed of the tricks he had been car rying on for some time at various houses in the City and elsewhere. The prisoner came to his house and brought a bottle of Macassar oil, and wished to get the money back, as he was not in want of it, andstated that he bought it at his shop. lie also asked for a box of pills, and represented himself to be Mr. Lawrence, under-secretary at the Post- Mice. The goods were refused, and he was given into custody. Mr. 'ward° Cope, of No. 33, St. Martin's-le-Grand, che mist, stated that tl e prisoner called at his shop on the 20th of August, and asked the price of a bottle of Rowland's Kalydor, and on being told he said he would have a bottle, which was made up and given to him. He asked witness if he could change a cheque for him, having no small cash, and on receiving a reply in the negative, rejoined that his name was Mr. Lawrence, of the Post-office, that he was going to take the Kalydor down in the country to his daughter, and if he (Mr. Cope) would send on the following morning to him, it would be paid. On sending over the real Mr. Law rence said he had never sent any one for the Kalydor, or any thing else. Mr. William Hill, perfumer, of Cheapside, said that about the sth or 6th of November last, about ten o'clock at night, the prisoner called and said he wanted a bottle of dye, but unfortunately he had no money with him. He said his name was Johnson, that he was a solicitor, and resided in Nugent's-court, Poultry, and was in a great hurry to go to Hornsey, to a party. lie was more respectably dressed than at present, and witness gave him the dye, with other goods, to the amount of 13s. 6d. On the Monday morning he sent for the amount of the bill, but no such person resided in Nugent's-court. Suspecting a fraud he went round to several parties in the trade, and on stating the case the re ply he received from them all was—" So he has paid you a visit." Mr. James,Crisp, assistant to Mr. Butler, chemist and druggist, oftheapside, stated that the prisoner called at his employer's shop about the 22d of June, and asked for a bottle of castor oil and a box of pills, which being served he re quested change for a cheque for about al/. He, however, did not show the cheque. Witness could not give change, and having some recollection of having seen him before, refused to let him have the goods. He gave his name as dr.. Jack son, of -22, Holborn-hill. Mr. G. H. Wright, of No. 7, Poultry, stated that about five months since the prisoner came to the shop of his late employer, Mr. Palmer, chemist, in Union-street, Borough, opened a note, and having perused it, said he had just re ceived it from a lady with whom his daughter was residing, and that slw wished for something to cure the poor thing, as her head was bad, and strongly recommended Rowland's Kalydor. There was also an eruption of the face. Mr. Palmer gave him the Kalydor, when the prisoner said, " I suppose you cannot give me change for a 50/. cheque," at the same time pulling out his pocket-book as though he had one. Mr. Palmer replied he could not, when the prisoner said he had nothing less, but that he lived at No. 112, Cheapside. The price of the Kalydor was 4s. 6d. In the afternoon he came back in an apparent great hurry, and said he had been to see his daughter, and that the Kalydor would not suit. He, therefore, wished the money for it back, at the same time asking for a small quantity of some kind of medicine. Wit ness told him he should not give any money back, as he well knew he never paid his master in the morning fur it; neither should he serve him with anything else. Upon which the prisoner immediately decamped, and was soon out of sight. Mr. John Lee, at Mr. Lucas's, No. 163, Cheapside, chemist and druggist, said that about two months since the prisoner came to his employer's shop in gr-at haste, as if he was go-. ing by the railway, and asked for a box of lamily pills and a bottle of Rowland's Kalydor, and when they were ready he wanted change for a cheque for 5/. ; and, on its being de nied, he said that he would call and settle for them on the following day; but witness recognising him, refused to allow the goods to go. He said his name was Mr. Thomas Long, of the Custom-house. About eighteen months since, he called and saw Mr. Lucas. and then gave his name as Mr. Thomas, of the Long-room, Bank. On this occasion it was for some Kalydor. Mr. Hall, perfumer, 65, Cheapside, stated that the prisoner had brought two bottles of Kalydor back to him, and obtained the money, although he was pretty sure they were never bought at his house. He had known the prisoner for about six years. He used to keep a school out at Wandsworth, and his real name was Boyle, and not Ball. R. Tyrrel, an officer attached to the Post-office, produced a quantity of goods found at the prisoner's residence, High bury, consisting of pills, Kalydor, powders, &c., and said that there were above twenty cases against him. The prisoner said that all that had been stated againSthim was entirely false. He was remanded until Thursday, to give an opportunity of other parties coming forward against him. There was a piece of sponge found on him, with a small piece of linen attached to it, marked 9s. 6d., and a sealskin bag and some Kalydor. It appears the prisoner, who is married, has taken a large house, with twenty rooms, at Highbury, and issued circulars for the purpose of getting a school, but there is hardly a stick of furniture in the house, although they have been in it these last six months. The rent is at 60/. per annum, and it was stated by the officer that the landlord was most anxious ;o get rid of such a customer. QUEEN-SQUARE. - - Just before the close of the Court, a gentleman entered, and addressing Mr. Bond, said, " My name is Quail, Sir, I am a surgeon, and the representative of the Legion, from Por tugal, and was entrusted with the care of the invalids, by a decree passed by the Council of Health in Oporto." Mr. BoND—What can I have to do, Sir, with the Legion ? Dr. Quail—l have just come from the Foreign-office. Lord Aberdeen sent me word a fortnight ago, that when his private secretary, Lord Canning, came to town, he would attend to my business . I have received this letter from Lord Canning, which is exceedingly unsatisfactory. Perhaps you will be good enough to look at it. Dr. Quail, who had his hand full of letters, was about handing the one alluded to towards the magistrate, when— Mr. BOND said—You must be aware, Sir, that this is not the place to make any application on such a subject. I can. not listen to you, Sir. Dr. Quail—l went to the Foreign-of&T this afternoon, when the Superintendent of Police was fetched, who told me, that if I did not go away he would lock me up. Such conduct is Most unconstitutional and illegal, as— ➢lr. BOND —I cannot suffer yoti - te proceed. Dr. Quail—The Superintendent of Police recommended me to come before you, as the matter would then be brought out. Mr. Bosn—l have a very great objection to a police court being made the vehicle by which matters are to obtain publicity. I shall always set. my face against such a system, as I feel that it is most unjust to permit statements to be made to the prejudice of persons in their absence. I cannot think that any superintendent of police could have given you any such directions. Do you complain of any assault having been committed upon you? Dr. Quail—No, Sir, I do not ; but I have considerable claims on the Government. I was at the Foreign. office ap pealing on behalf of myself and fellow-countrymen, when— Mr. BOND-I have told you, Sir, that this is nat the place to make any statements with relation to claims of this cha racter. The chief usher having intimated that Whitehall was in the Bow-street district, _ . Mr. BOND said he might go to that Court if he thought fit, but it would be perfectly useless, as no magistrate could interfere in such matters. Dr Quail said he thought it very unjust that he should be ordered away from the Foreign-office, which was the very place where the matter should be adjudicated, and retired evi dently much dissatisfied. HAMMERSMITH. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE ON A WOMAN.—A labouring man, named John Leydon, was brought up in the custody of the police before Mr. G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, charged on the police-sheet with having committed a most murderous and outrageous assault upon a woman named Ann Wheeler, who is now lying in St. George's Hospital, without any hopes of her surviving. Inspector Smith, T division, stated that the case was a most serious one, the unfortunate woman being covered with bruises from head to foot, and several of her ribs were frac tured. He had sent that morning to the hospital to know the state of the wounded female, and bad learned that she was as bad as she well could be. The following certificate had also been sent : " St. George's Hospital, Oct. 18, 1845. " This is to certify that Anne Wheeler is an in-patient, and is at this - time afflicted with severe contusions of the head and face, and fractured ribs. " G. COCKBURN HYDE, for A. JOHNSON, House-surgeon. " George Langston deposed that he lived at Holmes-cottage, in the brick-fields, Gloucester-road, Kensington. On Satur day night, after paying his men their wages at the Coach and Horses public-house, James street, Kensington-square, hesaw his daughter standing outside with Anre Wheeler, who had a child in her arms. They both ultimately went home with him, and sat and had some beer. The prisoner came in while they were doing so, and quarrelled with Anne Wheeler, and struck her several times, after which he left. Anne Wheeler remained and laid with her clothes on outside the bed. About three o'clock on Sunday morning he was awoke by hearing the front window smashed in, and saw the prisoner in the room, and saw him drag Anne Wheeler off the bed, and after knocking her down and beating her dreadfully, jump on her as hard as lie could, first on the lower part of her person, and then on her face and head. Witness thinking she was killed, laid hold of a large pistol he kept in the room, and thinking it was loaded, threatened to shoot him if he did not desist ; but the pistol was not loaded, and the prisoner after kicking the woman out of doors, lett her there quite insen sible. Witness being unable to assist Anne Wheeler b) him self, did not at first know what to do, but eventually went into the Fulham-road, and at the Admiral Keppel public house hired a cab, and, with the assistance of two policemen, conveyed her to St. George's Hospital. The prisoner was not apprehended until Sunday afternoon. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said ha had been living with Anne Wheeler as man and wife for the last seven years, and had had three children by her. For some days previous to Saturday she had been away from him, and he suspected that she was cohabiting with the witness Langston. He further explained that it was in a fit of jealousy and rage at her refusing to go home with him that he committed the assault. He was remanded for a week. MARYLEBONE. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS AT AN AUCTION.--Mr. William Frederick Thomas, an auctioneer. and Joseph Mat thews, one of his porters, were charged before Mr Rawlmson, on a warrant, with having committed an assault upon Thomas Abrahams, who described himself as a broker, residing at No. 22, Vere-street. Clare-market. A solicitor, whose name did not transpire, attended for complainant, and Mr. Robinson for defendant. The present proceeding , : arose out of an occurrence at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St, John's Wood, on Wednesday last, when Abrahams was brought up by a constable, charged with having created a disturbance at a period when Mr. Thomas was selling by auction a quantity of furniture, &c., at the house alluded to. Some particulars connected with the transaction have already app-ared, and it will be remembered that on the day in question, Abrahams was given into custody for distributing to the company assembled a number of printed bills, which set forth that the property belonged to a class of brokers who were employed to " run up" the lots, and thereby induce persons to believe that the arti cles were of greater value than they really were. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the magistrate ultimately diechargel the defendant. Abrahams, the complainant in the present case, deposed that after he quitted the court on Wednesday, he went back to the Eyre Arms, and distributed come more of the printed bills, when defendant (Mr. Thomas) desired him to get out of the room. He refused to do so, saying that he had not come to make any disturbance, when Mr. Thomas laid hold of him roughly, and having pushe t him down, knelt on hi: chest; he (Thomas) also called to his assi,tance tie other defet.dant (Matthews), and he (caaplaivant) was pus Led about by both of them P° Cross-examined by Robinson —I was at oa room on the 30th• a last. month, in High-street, 1e..,1,b and alter the sale I waited him to give me a " tic k ole Mr. RAWLINSON—It's the practice, is it net, Li. to over, for the brokers to receive a ticket entitling the eben. each? Complainalit—Yes, Sir, Messrs.' ONenhanl, V o r ; ham, and Storr, and others, give us eech two goioe, ° , s :"ul l ' Mr. RAWLINSON—What for? for running I . l " n b - e olig Complainttt—For nothing more, Sir, than yaerely att their sales. By Mr. RAWLINSON—At the auction at Isling'°'ibel Thomas refused to give me a "ticket," and I did 11.F., 5 ,1e; would spoil his next sale; I have made purchase' at myself, and have paid him for what I bought , until I o ,c; day last. I have only been turned out of his re r 4lo before. A lady to whom I gave one of the bills said /00 to bill is not true, for a great deal of the property I° ,o th lt me." I did not, when 1 returned to the Eyre Ara', •j e the magistrate told me I might distribute as many'll ip as I liked. It is equally untrue that I public l y stte, too room that I had paid money to the reporter to ge t ° papers all that transpired on the first occasion. c i f John Cooke corroborated a portion of comPlainau tev &nee as to the assault. By Mr. Robinson—When Abrahams returned f A r° l - i, court, he said lie had just come from High-street, alwri had authority of Mr. Rawlinson to do as he liked teesi the bills, as such Lint of auctions ought to be put doll, did not hear Abrahams say he had paid anything to El case into the newspapers. 5 0 1 Mr. RAwuNsox thought it was an important etle, 0 10 to whether a person had a right to turn another 00,0 auction room under the circumstances or sot , and im 0 should ~end the matter to the sessions. Mr. Robinson was anxious to call his witne' s- iiveY he said, would be able to prove that for the las; feo clo , 4 complainant had been in the habit of attending (1000- sales, without snaking any purchase whatever, id 1r Wednesday he distributed the bills because deft! ) 0 , 0 0 fused to give him les , considering that the delza nd infamous attempt at extortion. eallAr' A Mr. Thomas said he should like to call Mr& highly respectable lady, who would be able to P r T e b A d considera , de deal of the property was her own , a n ~4 entrusted to him by her for sale at the Eyre Aring: In utoi i Mr. RAwuNsox—There is not the 'lightest 001,00 upon you, Mr. Thomas, but I consider that the (l iji one which ought not to be decided by me ; at theies'j fore enter into your own recognisance to app ear if called upon.
