The Constitationnel states, that "the first trial on a large scale was made of M. llallete's plan of ap- PlYlug the atmospheric system to railroads a few days since, on a space of 300 feet in his manufactory at Arras. The result appears to have been so satis factory, that Messrs. Arago, Seguier, and other dis tinguished engineers, are to be invited to witness a second trial in a few days." Lyons seems to be as much infested with thieves a% Paris. A general rendezvous, or head-quarters, has hewn discovered , at a public-house in the Rue ' 4l t. Georges, and the police by judicious management has succeeded in arresting twenty of them. They all wear blouses or smockfrocks, and carry stout : ti cks, assuming the appearance of countrymen or t ravellers. They never arrive at their head quarters by more than one at a time, and were thus easily caught as in a trap. Another band has been vaptured at the house of a man named Chaudeze. One ev en i ng l as t wee k a youth, of seventeen, was f tvl weltering in his blood from a pistol-shot, on the roud from Pont d'Ain to Amberieu.

Letters from the Levant mention that the state of S y r ia Was hourly becoming more deplorable. A pro valatnation issued at Constantinople, forbidding any r i son whatever to appear in the streets after sunset, occasioned some disorders. LAW AWE POLICE. The case of Chappell v.

The private letters received from the West Indies this morning are generally of .7 satisfactory character. The prospects of the planters were imTiroving. A report had been spread at St. Lucia and other felands, that there was an intention on the part of the Home Government to re-establish slavery. It need hardly be stated that the rumour had beenmost emphatically contradicted, It is not 'an unimportant feature to Notice, that in those plantations where guano had : been used, the vegetation is most cheer • inn. Wo take the following from the St. Christophel' Gazette of Oct. 23:—" The fine rains that have fallen since our last report have already given a deeper green to the cane-fields, but general as is the verdure, patches here and there that have been yuanoed are distinguished by their intensity of hue from all canes around them. The whole island looks extremely beautiful, the exquisite loveliness of the scenery being exhausted by the richness of the cultivation." This favourable sketch of the Island of St. Christopher applies with almost equal truth to other parts in the same direction. It may be said with truth that the West Indies are in a state of rapid improvement. "We have (says a West India ConteMporary) internal prosperity both in the planting and the mer cantile world, and the prices of our produce still continues remenerative, in spite of the admission of foreign free-grown sugars into England, and of the vast increase of maple sugar in America, of which the State of New York alone produced last year 25,000 hhds. Nothing more cleallly proves, than the unperceived growth of that gigantic antagonist, how rapidly the demand for sugar is spreading over the world ; and we have good reason to believe that our markets will soon be in a state of activity, and yet at the same time that protection will be awarded to us, as we have right to expect as British colonists, and as will secure us against the competition of more cheaply grown sugar." Again, " upon the whole, we have not at present any serious grounds for complaint, but many for inspiring confidence and hope." If the information received to-day from the Brazils are correct, there was no desire on the part of the Go vernment of the empire to bring on a rupture with Rosas. The Exchange at Rio was firm at 25.fd. to id. There was a demand for freights, shipping being rather scarce than otherwise. The dates from Rio Janeiro are to the 3d of October, and from Buenos Ayres to the 7th of the same mouth. There was a good demand for Consols. For the Ac count the quotation has this morning been 100-a, and 1002. All the other stocks have been firm. The Com missioners took Reduced at 99k, and New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. at 1024. Bank Stock has advanced to 206. India Stock has been done at 2862, and Ex chequer Bills at 60s. to 645. premium. There has not been any material variation in the prices of the Foreign Stocks to-day. Spanish has been done at 244, Portuguese at 55i, Mexican at 364, the Brazilian Five per Cents. at 884, and the Venezuelan at 42-i. The Railway Share Market is somewhat firmer to-day. At Liverpool there is also more business doing. The general feeling is in fay ^ul' of a decline in prices.

THE TOTTENHAM CHURCHES AND THE BISHOP OF LONDON. The parish of Tottenham has been for some time past in considerable agitation, caused by a dispute between the seatholders and attendants of the churches and the clergymen of the parish, as to the introduction of certain practices in the services of the church, which the parishioners consider as no velties. There are three churches in Tottenham —the old parish church, the chapel on Totten ham-green called Trinity Chapel, and a third church, which has been recently erected at Wood green. This last chapel was erected by sub scription, and Mr. 'Cornet', the deputy of Broad street Ward, was the treasurer of the fund. Of the other two churches, the one is the old parish church, and the second has been erected about 16 years. Of this chapel the Rev. George Hodgson Thomson was for some years the minister, but some time since he left his incumbency and went to Tonbridge. The Rev. Mr. Newcome, the vicar, then appointed Mr. Twining as his successor, the other officiating minis ters being the Rev. Mr. Winter, the Rev. Mr. Dun ster, and the Rev. Mr. Baker. It appears that certain innovations were contemplated in the customary ser vice of the church before Mr. Thomson left. They were commenced at the old, or parish church, where they did not lead to any open opposition. But on the consecration of Wood-green Chapel they were in like manner commence there, but with a very different result. It has been stated that Mr. Corney was the treasurer of the fund that had been sub scribed to build the chapel. He had taken a very active part in obtaining subscriptions, and when he found that the forms already referred to were to be introduced, he at once resigned his situation, at the same time expressing his opinion that in soliciting subscriptions for the chapel he had been " raising money under false pretences." Upon this determina tion of Mr. Corney being made known, a meeting of the subscribers to the Wood-green Chapel was called, ostensibly for the purpose of hearing his reasons. Previously to this, however, some of the influential persons in the parish framed and signed a paper, as follows : "TO THH REV. GEORGE E. TWINING MINISTER OF TRINITY CHURCH, TOTTENHAM. " As seatholders and attendants at Trinity Church, having heard that it is proposed to make some mate rial alterations in the course and order of the service as heretofore conducted—which alterations in neigh bouring parishes have created much dissatisfaction, and will assuredly produce the same result in this — we venture most respectfully, but most decidedly, to express our opinion that any such changes, by pro ducing such results, are calculated materially to pre vent that success in the preaching of the Gospel, as well as good understanding between the minister and his people, so much to be desired ; and we therefore earnestly hope that, in consideration of such opinion, the order of the service may be allowed to remain unaltered." This was signed by a very large majority of seat holders and attendants at the chapel. Mr. Twining addressed the following answer to one of the gentle men : " Tottenham-green, October 21, 1844. " Dear Sir,—As I perceive that your name stands as that of the first parishioner who has signed the petition which was forwarded to me by Mr. Wilson on Friday last, expressive of the desire that no change should be made in the order of the service at Trinity Chapel, I take the liberty of addressing my reply to you. " Let me, in the first place, assure you most sin cerely, that to receive a petition numerously signed by the members of my congregation, and not to be able to comply with it, is a source to me of deep regret; yet such, I am sorry to say, is my present very painful position. Long before I determined on the course which it behoved me to take in the matter referred to, I considered it, as far as I could, in all its bearings; I deliberated upon it carefully (with prayer and supplication) before I expressed my sentiments even privately to any of my congregation ; and even afterwards, at the request of one or two in dividuals, I took the subject still further into con sideration. The result of my reflections I must re spectfully state in reply to the petitioners to be this; that I cannot consistently with my sense of duty alter those opinions, which I have already made known by private intercourse to many members of my congregation, whom I have been fortunate enough to see; and which I felt called upon to explain yes terday in the form of a sermon. Having dwelt on this latter occasion at great length, and before a very numerous congregation, upon the several points in volved, I conceive it to be unnecessary to trouble you now with any detailed explanation. Most earnestly do I hope, however, that the consequences to which the petitioners refer as likely to result from the con templated changes may, by God's goodness, be averted. " I wish it to be known, if you please, that circum stances prevented me from receiving the petition until Saturday evening; and that, if the opportunity had been found, I should have considered it due to the petitioners to have sent an answer to their representa tions before I publicly explained my views. " Believe it to be my continued prayer that the hearts and steps of all concerned may be directed and ruled aright, and in a way acceptable to God, and allow me to remain,—Dear Sir, yours faithfully, " GEORGE B. TWINING. " P.S. If you should be unwilling to receive and make known to the petitioners this communication, perhaps you will have the kindness to send me a few lines and to return my letter. " To Robert Mushet, Esq., Stamford-hill." Mr. ➢Tushet replied as follows : " Stamford-hill, 22d October, 1844. "Dear Sir,—l have been favoured with your com munication of yesterday's date, which shall in due time be laid before the Petitioners, as you are pleased to call them, though the document forwarded to you by Mr. Wilson had none of the characteristics of a petition. I would rather you had sent your reply to some more influential member of your congregation, or, at all events, to some one who has taken a more active part in the measure than my avocations have per mitted me to take. " At the same time (as an attendant at Trinity Church), I do not hesitate to avail myself of the opportunity you have given me, of stating clearly and distinctly the reasons which swayed me to sign the paper, and of expressing my sincere and unfeigned sorrow at the course you seem determined to pursue ; this I hope to do without eliciting any bias of party spirit, or exhibiting any personal feeling against your self, though the warmth with which the subject inspires me may compel me to speak the truth with more freedom than perhaps will be agreeable. " The reasons and opinions I shall express have not altogether arisen out of this particular case, but have been maturely formed, after some deliberation, by watching the progress of events in relation to the Church, though they have for the first time been put to paper, in consequence of the question in dispute now intimately affecting the peace of the parish in which I reside. " 1. It would be presumptuous in me to argue with you on the merits or demerits of the Rubric — which has lately become of such importance in the eyes of the clergy. But you will agree with me, that the Rubric, or, what it simply implies, rules for the regulation of the Church service, has authority only as far as it is expedient or necessary to the better performance of public worship : that the rules are things in themselves indifferent, and, like any rite or ceremony of the Church may fall into desuetude, by changes in society or of opinion—which may be abolished altogether, altered, or modified, as the heads of the Church think proper ; and all this may be done without disparagement to religion, or any article of religious belief. " You will agree with me, that any form or cere mony whatever can form no essential part of true re ligion; and to place any reliance on such form or ceremony is superstitious, and contrary to the very spirit of our religion. " 2. The clergy who attach such weighty import ance to the Rubric (the offspring of not the purest era of the Church) may themselves, as men of edu cation and reflection, draw such necessary distinctions as to relieve them from the charge of falling into su perstitious observances ; but by enforcing obsolete customs, laid aside by the general concurrence of the c lergy of another age, at the expense of the peace of every parish, they are sure in dne time to perplex the minds of others (not so gifted), and lead them on to allTotruelamentreligioninisChurch. condemn place any confidence in or reliance on th em . i s i n d ee d a retrograde movement in the mind of any f e ao nfdreligionmistaken proves v e s of rather z ea Jesusl, iat Christian, and, avlhv‘; ai sy t t , h s o ii u nn g m) : esssoptinirgei spiritual o m arla e pn s ts reliance on the devices of man than on the goodness of God. ec re a f e co p tf r i o o toni "3.

But there is a point where they become offen sive to those who have a clear perception of true re ligion ; and wh en suc h re li ance i n th e i r efficacy is placed, as implied in the conduct of some of the clergy, they must in time degenerate into frivolity and superstition. The rite or ceremony, or the point enforced, may be harmless in itself, but a wise man will look to the consequences of magnifying the im portance of such things as form no essential part of religious faith or conduct. " 4.1 do not h ere conten d th a t th e c h anges you haveintroduced are themselves objectionable; Ido not profess to divine the motives which have led you to the conclusions you have arrived at; I do not wish, as I have said, to argue with you the merits or demerits of the Rubric, as it is out of my province to enter into any such controversy; but I cannot, on the grounds of common sense or right judgment, defend the enforcement of those changes in the ordinary worship of the church which are certain to disturb the quiet and harmony of the parish for years to come. " If I granted all the changes you are determined on to be simply good, or harmless, or things indifferent (as the preface to the Pra y er-book says of forms and ceremonies), still I cannot think you can be justified in disturbing the peace of your congregation for ob jects that really form no part of religion; objects which, if you succeed in, may gratify' your own feelings, but which cannot possibly advance the eter nal interests of man, or tend in any way to the glory of God. " On the contrary, it is certain, that whatever en genders strife, or promotes discord, or excites or scatters the flock (of which you are the appointed shepherd) must injure true religion and man's best interests, at the same time that the impetuous zeal of the clergy excites grave doubts in the minds of calm, reflacting, religious men (wh) find their religion in the Bible), whether the clergy are proving them selves the best friends of the Church, or the warm supporters of spiritual truth. Their intemperate desire to revive forms and ceremonies of another age, at any expense, may lead others to doubt whether they have really formed in their own minds the dis tinction between religious forms and religious truth. " At all events such is the impression their present proceedings are likely to leave—to pass by the false ideas they are sure to engender in the minds of the weak (and they are not a few) who, in all ages, have tended to confound those two things together, and thus in the end have gradually fallen into all the mummery and superstitious observances we see, with pain and surprise, existing in the Roman Church. " When the importance and necessity of forms have once taken possession of the mind, there is no thing more difficult than to root them out, as all his tory testifies ; for no reason 1 can conjecture than that man is naturally prone to mistake the shadow of religion for the substance, the typs or symbol for the object represented. " When we know that the Church of Rome has its foundation in such superstitious observances, we ought to be cautious how we multiply them, or unnecessa rily revive old ones, worn out by time, and abandoned by general consent. " Let us always consider it a maxim of truth, that forms or ceremonies, or rites of any kind, called by whatever name, are nothing in the sight of God, ab solutely considered. " 5. Why the Rubric, which seems to arrogate to itself no undue weight of importance, and which has nothing to recommend it but the prestige of antiquity (and that not of a remote date), and 1 may say good sense, should all at once, in the eyes of the clergy, swell into something of great purport, and almost of Divine obligation, is an anomaly difficult to be ex plained or understood. " If a party in the Church were to make an attempt to bring the Church of England into conformity with the simplicity of the age of the apostles, to assimilate it to the severe and simple religion as promulgated by its Divine Founder, there really would be something meritorious, however unsuccessful the attempt, some thing good, however much savouring of enthusiasm ; but an attempt, at enormous sacrifices, to revive cer tain formulae which have been neglected, as super fluities in the Church service, without assigning ade quate reasons for so doing —to give to the Rubric a power and authority and weight in public worship which it nowhere claims for itself, seems to me most extraordinary and inconsistent. " 6. In an age like this, when men are apt to think for themselves, and analyse more carefully than before their ideas on religious questions, it seems remark able that the clergy should make an effort to mystify the truth, and tarnish the purity of religion, ley re calling those clouds of mystery, those pious frauds' characteristic of times less civilised. The attempt is sure to prove an unsuccessful one, because I think the same intelligence, the same power of thought, which brought about the Reformation, in an age compara tively barbarous, must, in the end, dissipate all those errors and delusions of good, but mistaken men, in times more refined and civilised. This is hardly an age to make an attempt on the credulity of the people ; or draw the veil of error over the face of truth. "The power and independence of the clergy pos sessed lay virtue of their holy office, as well as by the mode of their appointment, may permit them for a season to proceed in their course, but, for my part, I can see, in their very success, the elements of injury, if not of destruction, to the Church herself; because, while she is now assaulted from without by hosts of Dissenters who await eagerly any breach in the wall, the clergy are at the same time creating innumerable enemies within ; they are making those who would be friends lukewarm and indifferent; they are creating a spirit of party very inconsistent with the unity they preach and pray for, as one of her essential preroga tives ; they are causing doubts to arise where faith should be one, and where practice should be uniform. "7. In the prayer for the Church militant here in earth,' God is solemnly called upon to inspire the universal Church of Christ with the spirit of truth, unity, and Concord; but do her clergy not throw a firebrand into her very bosom by these new forms f "In the forms for the ' Ordering of Priests,' the Bishop asks the candidate if he will ' maintain and set forward, as much as lieth in you, quietness, peace, and love, among all Christian people, and especially among those that are or shall be committed to your charge ;' but I ask you to say candidly whether the clergy are keeping their solemn promise ? " Again, the priest is asked, if he is persuaded that the holy Scriptures contain sufficiently all doctrine required of nece ss it y f or e t erna l salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ ; but how can his answer be re conciled with the present practice of the clergy, who seem to regard as articles of belief things nowhere mentioned or seven alluded to in Scripture? "8. There, indeed, the clergy are called upon to preach the Gospel —the truth as it is in Jesus ; the revelation of God to man ; that eternal truth, ex pressed in simple language, and given to man with out pomp or parade ; which soars far above all con ventional rules and human devices, and which still exist after all those objects on which man places a foolish reliance shall have been consigned to oblivion —when the Rubric, the Church herself, her rites, her forms, her ceremonies shall be no more ; when all those who administered them as essentials to true re ligion, as well as those who condemned them as the vain delusions of the human mind, shall be laid quietly in the grave. . . . . _ " Religious truth is eternal ; but is it not also spi ritual ? It is spiritual and pure as the spirit of God, because it came from Him ; and any form or cere mony must (abstractedly speaking) diminish the purity and sully the lustre of that truth; and I think, therefore, it would become the clergy—when nobler thoughts of religion are gradually appearing—to ele vate and purify religious ideas, and not debase them ; above all, to impress strongly on the minds of the people the inutility of the shadow when the substance is lost. " 9. It appears to me that in reviving those obsolete portions of the Rubric, on a plea of conscience, the clergy are indirectly throwing a stigma on the brightest ornaments the Church has given birth to— whose lives are lasting memorials of devotion and sincerity, and whose labours form one of the noblest portions of our literature. These great men fulfilled their duties with scrupulous fidelity, but they seem not to have been staggered by those conscientious feelings which sway men now, perhaps of equal piety, but possessing not one tithe of their wisdom or learning. If they had been so affected, they would have accommodated their declarations to their better judgment, and not have revived rubrics of dark ages to satisfy scruples of conscience, or make the past bear witness to the truth of new lights. " 10. Again I say respectfully, that the object you would attain is not worth the sacrifice you must make. So long as you were not compelled, by a higher authority, to revive those forms, or make those changes, you cannot in my mind be justified in raising strife where before all was concord; in forcing your opinions where almost every man is opposed to them ; in causing and separation, when your mission is to preach peace and unity. " With these observations (which I have aimed to write in t candid spirit, and with a freedom which the occasion can alone justify), " I beg to subscribe myself your faithful servant, "ROBERT MUSIIET. "To the Rev. George B. Twining." The following rejoinder was sent by Ur. Twining " Tottenham, Oct. 24, 1844. "Dear Sir—l have just received the favour of your letter of the 22d instant, and I wish to lose no time assuring you, that I any much concerned to find that I have employed a 'term in my letter of the 21st instant which you think inapplicable to the document rae F red to. It was fa; from my Intention to use the word petition! - in any objectionable Sense; my object rather was studiously to avoid speal f cing of thf„. pproom; wimp Bleed i t 'i• in 'a - ay way that could be diiagreeable to a single individual. Let me now profess my willingness to retract the term ; and to speak of the document merely as a paper or address, signed by certain seatholders and attendants at Tri nity Church. " With respect to my having sent my reply to you, I took the liberty of doing so merely on account of the position of your name upon the list. I thought it best to abide by such a rule, fearing that otherwise it might be considered that I had taken upon myself to determine who were the more influential members of my congregation, and who had taken the more active part in the measure. " In addressing to you this immediate explanation it is obvious that I cannot have had time to give due attention to the several points of your letter; and I will therefore only subscribe myself, your faithful servant, " GEORGE B. TWINING. "To Robert Mushet, Esq." At the meeting already referred to of the sub scribers to the Wood.green Church there was a very strong expression of public opinion, and the clergy were much blamed for taking subscriptions for the building without declaring their intention not to conduct the service in the way to which the subscribers had been accustomed. The clergy having ag►reed to refer the matters at issue to the Bishop of London, and to abide by his decision, a deputation was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Mushet, Josiah Wilson, Shad bolt, A. Johnson, P. Johnson, and Windus, who had a very long interview with his Lordship, who went into minute detail as to the several changes pro posed, complaining that the sad results spoken of in the parish of disunion in families, dissent from the Church, and general dissatisfaction were produced, not by the changes, but by the parties objecting to them. He dwelt much upon this view, and said that if all the parishes in his diocese, particularly referring to Islington, and complaining much of that large parish refusing positively to conform to his recommendations, had done otherwise, all the opposition would have been prevented. He said, the forms and ceremonies complained of being ordered by the Church, no reasenablo person ought to object; and, for himself, he at once declared that he would not preach in any church in his diocese where that regarding the offertory was not adopted. In answer to a remark that it was not so much the forms or changes proposed that were com plained of in themselves, but that they were such as were adopted by a certain party, and would probably be stepping-stones to others, which might endanger doctrinal principles, his LDrd ship replied, that he had very clearly already ex pressed his opinion, and now repeated that he was entirely opposed to those opinions, which, for short ness, he would describe—for he was obliged to use the word—as Puseyite or Tractarian; and that he would again, as he had already done, reprove or prevent any of his clergy from disseminating them. His Lordship gave the deputation his full permission to make these sentiments known ; indeed, he said he had done so already, and that he would always be accessible to any of the laity having any cause of complaint, and would immediately institute a strict and searching inquiry ; stating, at the same time, that any of his clergy who, by preaching or gesture, or any other means, exceeded the line laid down for them in the Rubric, or, on the other hand, fell short of what was their duty, would be liable to a penalty of 500/. The deputation, in the first instance, stated that their object was to get rid altogether of the changes complained of. The Bishop opposed their wishes in this respect, and suggested that if they went back to their fellow-parishioners their influence might be used to allay all unpleasant feeling on the subject, and that ultimately all might be arranged. His Lordship was informed that such a result was not likely to occur. One of the deputation (Mr. P. Johnson) then suggested that the new forms should be suspended for a year. The other members of the deputation objected to any compromise, but ultimately the Bishop intimated his readiness to accede to the suggestion as to the postponement, and promised to make a communication to that effect through the clergy. The deputatton then withdrew. In a few days after,—on Thursday, the 14th,—a further meeting of the subscribers to the Wood green Chapel was held, at which the Rev. Messrs. Winter and Twining attended: It was intimated that a letter had been received by the clergy from the Bishop, the substance of which they proposed to state to the meeting: The meeting objected to receiving anything but the original document, and at length after some extremely angry discussion it was pro duced and read, the Rev. Mr. Twining flinging it down on the table. The purport of the letter was, that the Bishop had no objection to the postponement of the introduction of the new forms for twelve months, leaving it, however, to the discretion of the cler g y. Ile still urged the importance o f th e c h anges , and hoped in the mean time a better spirit would arise in the parish. The conversation was carried on with great warmth prior to the production of the letter ; and after it had been read, the Rev. Mr. Winter re vived the angry feeling by saying it was to be under stood that at the end of the twelve months the changes would again be put in force. This was repeated most vehemently by the Rev. Mr. Twining, with arms a-liimbo; but this was decidedly objected to by the meeting. One gentleman observed, that there was no knowing what might happen before the end of the twelve months. The Bishop might be translated be fore that time ; or the clergy might learn discretion before then, and resolve wholly to abandon the inno vations. At this meeting Mr. Corney was re-elected trea surer of the Chapel Fund. On the Sunday following the subjoined paper was posted on the church doors " Notice is hereby respectfully given to the mem bers of this congregation and to other inhabitants of this district, that it has been determined, under an appeal to the Bishop of the diocese, to defer for the space of one year those alterations which, in con formity with the Rubric, have been recently proposed in the order of Divine service in this chapel. " The afternoon service on the first and third Sundays of every month will be performed as already announced. " T. NEWCOMBE, Vicar. 1 1844." Thus TWINING. T. BAKER. " Tottenham, N ov . 15, Thus the dispute has terminated in the withdrawal by the clergy " for one year" of the innovations objected to. The changes objected to were—the omission of the anthem at the commencement of the service ; the giving out the psalms by the clergyman instead of by the clerk ; and the offertory, with a collection from pew to pew on the occasion of charity sermons, Queen's letters, &c. The changes were first introduced at the parish church, and then at Wood-green. They were threatened at Trinity Church also, but the energetic proceedings of the subscribers to the Wood-green Chapel prevented their introduction. The excitement in the parish has been very great. One gentleman, Mr. Craven, offered to build a new church at his own expense, if the attendants at the old ones were obliged to leave in consequence of the obstinacy of the innovators. Another gentleman did the like ; and one parishioner, a barrister, alluding to the offertory, said, he should search his wife and children before they went to church to be sure they had no money, and write on his pew door, " No alms given here.' TO THE ED1T01? OF THE SUN. Sitt,—A young man, named Matthew Spurdell, was tried yesterday before Mr. Sergeant Adams, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, charged with steal ing a pair of stockings from my shop ; he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one month's imprison ment. What I have to complain of is, that the Judge would not allow me to say a word, although Mr. Henry, the magistrate who committed the prisoner, requested me particularly to inform the Court that the prisoner was an old offender, and that his father had a short time since imposed on the magistrate by obtaining ss. from the poor-box, on the promise that he would send his son home to Dorsetshire, but in stead of doing so got intoxicated with the money. The fellow on the second occasion tried to dupe the magistrate, but did not succeei. Tradesmen fre quently suffer themselves to be plundered rather than take the trouble of attending to prosecute ; but with out any vindictive feeling, I consider the Judge ought to have listened to the above facts before passing sen tence.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD THOMAS. 75, High-street, Whitechapel, Nov. 20, 1844. Foor RACE FOR W.—Yesterday a 100 yards foot race came off near the Brecknock Arras, Camden -town, between Harry Bromley (the host of the above-named inn) and a sporting gentleman ; the attendance of spec tators was numerous, and much betting took place. The distance having boen measured, the competitors appeared at the starting mark, and at the signal went away at a rattling pace. Bromley then took the lead, which he maintained, and won easily by 10 yards.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 19.—This morning at half past nine o'clock, the Royal West India mail packet the Cl de, Captain Symons, arrived in the river, and landed her mails,'which were dispatched to London by the eleven o'clock train. She sailed from St. Jago de Cuba October 19th, Jamaica 24th, Deme rara 20th, Trinidad 21st, Barbadoes 24th, Grenada 26th, St. Thomas 31st, and Fayal 12th November. The Clyde brings home thirteen passengers, and on freight 1,620 dollars, 181. British money, 75 ounces gold dust, 699 ounces silver, 399 ounces platina. On the 24th October the royal mail packet the Thames left Barbadoes for Trinidad, Tobago, and Demerara. The royal mail schooner Larne 25th from Grenada for Guayno. On the 26th the royal mail packet Forth left Grenada for Jamaica and the Gulf, and on the 31st the royal mail packet Dee was at St. Thomas, as also the city of Glasgow. Mr. Edwards, an officer on board the Clyde, died on his voyage home. The mails which left here yesterday by special train, were delivered at the General Post-office in London within two hours and a half. The Mary Ann, from the Cape of Good Hope, put into Cowes last evening, and forwarded to this place four boxes and three bags of ship letters, which were sent up to London per snail train this morning; she left the Cape on the 16th of September. The Royal Tar will leave the docks on Thursday, and take out the Gibraltar and other mails. By these arrivals we have Jamaica and other West India papers, from, which we extract the f o ll ow i ng • ."' paragraphs:-- " fler Majesty's ships Inconstant and Spartan are in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Electra at Antigua. "It appears that the season throughout the West Indies has been unusually hut, causing great sickness and mortality. Demerara was particularly unhealthy, phus and scarlet fever raging, in addition to the indi • genous fever of the colony. " The Jamaica House of Assembly was opened by the Earl of Elgin oa the 15th of October. The Hill Coolie propositioa was brought forward in a very full house; and, after a lengthened discussion, was carried, the num ber, however, being limited to 2,000 instead of 5,000, as proposed by the Home Government. " A dreadful fire occurred on the Canal Coffee Plan tations, near Demerara, on the 14th of October, and was burning on the 20th, whereby nearly the whole of that valuable district would be destroyed. The plantations were fired by the peasantry, in consequence of a tax on the sale of plantains having been recently exacted by the collector of the district." " DUE ADP UL DEVASTATION AT MONTEGO BAY. " Since the year 1818 there has not occurred such a dreadful visitation at this place, as was witnessed on the sth inst. (October). On the night of the 4th the wea ther, which had been for days past rather threatening, assumed an unusually lowering and portentous appear ance. Between nine and ten o'clock, nal., it commenced to blow very hard from the south, a strong ground swell heaved into the bay from about three P.M., and at about a quarter to two A.M. Saturday it acquired a terrific force. The situation of several vessels in the outer har bour, Green's Hole, and the Close Harbour, became now very critical. At Green's Hole one man called George Young, on board the sloop Isabella, was placed in the most perilous situation; the sea made a complete breach over the vessel, and in utter despair he clung to the mast uttering the most piteous cries, which were heard from above the remorseless dash of the wild ocean. lie remained in this dreadful state of anxiety and alarm until half-past twelve, P.M., when fortunately a line was conveyed on board from Gun Point Wharf, on which be swung himself ashore; in the very act, however, of touching the wharf it broke, but we are happy to say he was seized in time and safely landed, though consi derably worn out by fatigue. There was during the day comparatively little wind, but the sea raged in the most dreadful manner. Between six and seven, A.M., the fine schooner Africanus was driven ashore at Meagre Bay, and very shortly after became a complete wreck. "It is impossible to describe the havoc that has been occasioned. The whole line of coast from Christie's Rock to ICathren's Beach has been ploughed up, and bears more or less the marks of the extraordinary vio lence of the sea. Every wharf has suffered, and the loss of lumber and other property is immense. The crane at Gun Point Wharf (Jump's) was carried away. The front part of the wharf (Jump's), occupied by the Messrs. Mclhadaes, was considerably undermined. I cannot de pict the scene of distress which prevailed in our town yesterday, from four P.M. up to dark. Persons of all classes and sexes were to be seen hurrying about in the greatest possible state of agitation and alarm. The sea rose higher than it has ever yet been known to do, and the waves dashed into the bay with noise equal to that of the loudest thunder. The following is a list of the vessels and other property destroyed " The schooner Africanus and the Rachel, the pro perty of Captain Bates, completely wrecked. Four boats, the property of Captain Bates. The schooner Exertion and Sloop Isabella, the property of Joseph G. Jump, Esq. The sloop Cissia, the Wave, and the Mary, the property of Captain Selley. The sloop Maria Charta, the property of Captain Brown and Son. The sloops Hunter and Tom Smith, the property of Messrs. Watson and Mowat. The sloop Glassinia, the property of Mr. Peter Watson. A sloop boat, the property of J. C. Hart and Co. A schooner boat, Davy Levy, Esq. A lighter, Mr. Garth. A ditto, Mr. Manderson. A ditto, Captain lleslop. A ditto, Mr. Thompson. A ditto, Messrs. Watson and Mowatt. " A large number of small boats and canoes, and Mr. Lindo's bathing-house, a considerable quantity of lum kr, staves, heading boards, and scantlings, the property of J. G. Jump, Esq., wash( d off from Green harf: Several wharfs considerably injured." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10ii1. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 42 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at shot t being 25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.59 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 94 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on Lond on at short being 13 101, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng - , land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per c en t. i n favour f England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest mus t b e a dd e d to t h e above difference.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and suite, arrived on Monday evening, as also Lord and Lady Lincoln, Lord and Lady Jersey, and the Hon. Sloane Stanley. The Prince and Prin cess Mecklenburg Strelitz arrived this morning, and are expected to remain till Thursday. A grand ball on an extensive scale will take place on Wednesday evening, at which upwards of 150 of the resident nobility and gentry are invited. The town has not presented such an appearance of bustle for years. The Norfolk Arms is fully occupied by the overplus company that cannot find room at the castle. The bells rang a merry peal on Monday evening, on the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, &c. This day the party were all out at an early hour, engaged in the sports of the field. Upwards of one hundred and twenty head of game were bagged before one o'clock. At the time our corres. undent was writing carriages were arriving from all directions ; INcurrpmniszt AT DENBIGH.—On Friday n i g ht l o st some evil-disposed person or persons FA fire to a stack of hay, the property of Mr. Tbornas Hastings, situated in the Park-hi n, near the entrance to St. David's Church, but happily it was soon discovered and through the timely i n t er f erence of the neighbours , the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. The fire occurred about 10 o'clock. No doubt, had it been at a later hour, the consequences would have been very destructive. — C/tester Courant. THE POLISH BALL. The ball and concert in aid of the funds for re lieving the distressed Polish exiles took place hot night at the Guildhall. The fittings. up and decor:- bons were the same as on the occasion of the Lord Mayor's annual dinner On the 9th inst. The ball was brilliantly lighted with gas and chandeliers, and at the west end there was a large star of frosted glass, lighted by gas, surrounded by the motto of the garter, which had a very beautiful effect. Around the walls were suspended banners bearing the arms of the several City companies, and at either end a number of flags and union-jack, tastefully grouped, and inter spersed with these were figures in steel and gilt ar mour, and a variety of other &vices. The floor was chalked, or rather painted, upon a r:ovel plan, to pre vent the inconvenience experienced on former occa sions from the dust. It was divided into four com partments, the two centre ones representing the arms of the Lord Mayor and the Polish arms, and at either end the Prince of Wales's plume, the whole sur rounded by a tasteful arabesque border. The music in the ball-room was Mons. Jullien's unrivalled quadrille band, which was stationed in an orchestra erected near the centre of the hall, and performed a variety of quadrilles, waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, &c. during the evening, including Semiramide, Le Bouquet Royal, Zainpa, the Bird of Paradise, Ondine, Le Pas du Diable, the Butterfly, the Royal Polka, &c. The company began to arrive shortly after eight o'clock, and the carriages continued to set down al most without intermission till near eleven o'clock, at which time there were, .as well as we could estimate, between 7CO and 800 persons present. The concert took place in the Council Chamber shortly before ten o'clock, under the direction of Mr. Benedict. Amongst the vocalists were Signor Brizz, Mr. J. Bennett, Signor Ferrari, Mr. Mashin, Miss Graham, Miss Steele, Miss Sa ra h Flower, Miss Mis sent, Mrs. Rodwell, Miss Dolby, &c. The perform ances were loudly applauded, more especially the Ca. , vatina "Sotto it fraterno tetto," by Miss Flower, the trio, " L'Usato ardir," "By the sad sea waves " by Miss S e:1 " Quando il core," by M-ss Dolby. Shortly . after the concert had commenced the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entered the ball-room, and were loudly cheered. His Lordship proceeded to the concert-room, which was densely crowded in every part, with repeated cheers. - Among the company we observed the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, the Earl and Countess of Erroll, Earl Munster, the Earl of Glengall, Lady Adelaide Fitzclarence, the Coun tess of Tankerville, Lady Mary Fox, Lonl Dud ley Coutts Stuart, Colonel Fox, M.P., the Hon. Cal. Leicester Stanhope, Hon. Charles Villiers, M.P., Hon. Mrs. Abbott, Sir Henry Webb, Bart., Sir John Key, Bart., Sir W. Magnay, Bart., Sir George ar roll, Alderman Johnson, G regory , Esq., M.P .H. Baring, Esq., M.P., &c. Dancing was kept up with great spirit during the night, although at times, not withstanding the immense size of the hall, there was some difficulty in obtaining a sufficient space to enable the votaries of Terpsichore to display their graceful evolutions. There were a few fancy costumes inter mingled with the naval and military uniforms and court dresses, which gave variety and picturesqueness to the scene. There was an ample supply of refresh ments during the evening, and the stewards were in defatigable in their exertions to provide for the com fort and accommodation of the company. The revelry was at its height when we left the gay scene, at an hour which we will not particularise further than by saying it was somewhat advanced into the morning ; and the exhilirating popping of Champagne corks was keeping time to the lively movements of M. Jullien's baton, and giving fresh vigour to those who still sought the giddy mazes of the waltz or mazurka. From the number- present, we have no doubt the result will be most satisfactory to the benevolent promoters of the entertainment. COURT CIRCULAR.
