EVENING EDITION. LAW INTELLIGENCE. TICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nor, 22. Short causes, unopposed petitions, and pleas and de murrers, occupied his Honour the VICE-CHANcELLoz the whole morning. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Nor. 22. THE QUEEN V. THE POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS. This was an appeal from an order of the Poor-law Commissioners, directed to the guardians of the poor of the Union of Alstonfield, in Staffordshire, and com manding them to appoint a clerk to the guardians of the poor, and an auditor of accounts. The guardians =fused to obey the order, on the ground that the Union being under the provisions of a Local Act (Gil bert's Act), the Commissioners had no right to inter fere with the appointment of officers. Mr. EZLI was yesterday heard in support of the appeal ; and The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Sir WM. FOLLETT, and Mr. TomuNsori addressed the Court to-day at great length in support of the order of the Poor-law Com missioners. The arguments turned principally upon the construction of certain clauses in the Poor-law Amend ment Act. The COURT took time to consider its decision. CRIMINAL INYORMATION.—THE QUEEN V. HOWARD. In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upon the defendant, John Howard, a Magistrate, of Hyde, in Cheshire, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him, for having corruptly re fused to receive the informations of Samuel Charlton, Clerk to the Justices of the district, and to grant a warrant against his own brother, Mr. Charles Howard. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. M. CHAMBERS) now appeared to show cause against the rule. Mr. Howard, the party against whom the pre { sent application was made, was a gentleman of large property and an extensive manufacturer at Hyde, and he was charged by Mr. Cha rlton with corru p ti on in the 1 1 office of a Justice of the Peace. The circumstances ! under which the application was made were not a little ,extraordinary, and would be found to reflect very little credit upon Mr. Charlton. He would give their Lord ships the statement of the case in Mr. Charlton's own w ords, and as they were embodied in his affidavit. lie stated that he was clerk to the Justices at Hyde, and : there being in the month of May last some excitement among the population, an association was about to be it formed on the 13th May,which Mr. Ho ward at first agreed to attend, but subsequently withdrew from. Mr. Charlton I then gave at great length a conversation that occurred between himself and Mr. Howard, in the course of which Mr. Charlton communicated to him that his bro thers, Charles and Thomas Howard, had given five Ipounds to the Hyde Institution to repair the damage done by th , l late storm. The Hyde Institution was estab lished by the Chartists, and Mr. John Howard imme diately said he would stake his life that it. was not so, and then they shook hands and parted. On the fol lowing day, when the meeting was to be held, Mr. Charlton called at the Clergyman's house, where it appeared Mr. John and Mr. Charles Howard were. He was invited to come in but declined, end after leav ing the house he saw Mr. Charles Howard running after him. Mr. Charles Howard was very much excited, and asked what he meant by making false charges against him ? Charlton said he had made no false charges, upon which Howard said he would half murder him. and knock him to atoms, if he did not eo back to the Clergyman's house with him. He at ,_ 1 length consented to go back, being frequently threatened i %site) personal violence en the way. On arriving at the 1 house he found Mr. John Howard sitting there , and he immediately requested a piece of paper, and drew up in , formatioes egainst Charles Howard, and requested John Howard to receive them, and te procure sureties of his brotilier to keep the peace. He was then examined at sonic length by Mr. John Howard, who said, whoa he had concluded his evidence, " I dismiss your case." Charlt.m requested his information, or a copy of it, which Mr. Howard refused to give, stating that he would a. tend at his (Charlton's) office in t'ne course of the ti.iv, but he (Charlton) refused to attend. He subsa quently obtained a copy of the informations and evidence, and a week afterward, tie obtained sureties of she pea.:e from Mr. Charles Howard. He subsequently required an , i ioology from Mr. John Howard, but in a most extraor. d i : ary way, the party applying serving Mr. Howard wit: , a neeice, at the same time that a criminal informa tion :,vould he moved for ag iinst him in the Queen's Bench, Scrub was the case Mr. Charlton presented to their L o y.dsh;ps, and a more extraordinary one there could no be nrou,llit forward. What case was there in al. that `Or the interf , rence of the Court ? The al iegat;on was, that Mr. Howard had corruptly refused to receiv., articles of the peace aglinst his brother ; but Mr. Howard, as :t Magistrate, would not be justified in doing so. Mr. Cn:triton's conduct in taking up a sheet of paper, drawing up informations, and then swearing himself to the truth, was most improper. The answer of Mr. Howard would be found satisfactory to their Lordships, and would show that there was no ground whatever for the present application. Mr. Howard .was a Magistrate of Hyde, where he had a very exten g;vo manufactory, and he stated that during the preced ing eight months the neighbourhood was in a state of very great excitement. Ms. Howard then entered into a full explanation of the meeting which was to have been held on the 13th of May, stat ing that at the time he expressed his intention to attend it he had not seen ihe circular calling it, and supposed it was an association for the protection of life • end property. Instead of that, he discovered that it a .as convened in terms which would create great ex ci.tement and dissatisfaction, end would be objectionable f to , a great portion of the middle classes. Under the I ad vice of other magistrates, his friends, he declined to att and the meeting. With respect to the statement of his brother having subscribed to the Chartist insti tution, he had asked Charlton for his authority, and he replied that it was a person in his (Howard's) employ ment who feed told him. On the following morning he received a letter from Mr. Charlton stating that he i could not recof!eet the name of the party who gave the information, thus withdrawing his authority and leaving the charge still in full force. His bro-hers, Charles and Thomas Howard, strenuously a nd positively denied that they had subscribed 5/. or any sum to the Chartist In stitution. The affidavit then described what had oc curred at the clergyman's house. After Mr. Charlton Jead drawn up the informations and administered the o sth to himself, he demanded a warrant against Mr. C. H oward. Defendant took the paper from him, and laying it on the table said, " Mr. Charlton, think what you are doing—l am going down to the Magistrates' office, and you can make your complaint there." Charltoes 1 manner was very disrespectful to him, and he desired ,) him to stand up and treat him as a Magistrate. The ,1 whole of Charlton's evidence being to the effect that if he (Charlton) did not return, Charles Howard would i commit some personal violence, and that being set at rest by Charlton having returned, he (the deponent) did not think himself justified in taking the information. 4 sEharlton's manner was throughout extremely dicta t.rial and impertinent. it ,Lord DENMAN—It strikes us that be ought to have 1 taken the informations, because if there was not likely to be any breach of the peace in the Magistrate's pre sence, he coald not tell what might afterwards occur ; but can it be said that this was a corrupt refusal ? Mr. JERVIS—The Attorney-General is not stating all the circumstances. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I am proceeding to do ,so if you allow me. The affidavit further stated that ibis refusal to take the informations was not the result of any vindictive feelings towards Mr. Charlton, or from any corrupt motives. He had also the affidavits ) ri, of the clergyman and others, fully substantiating the 1 statement of Mr. Howard. Mr. Charlton was a soli citor, and had acted in the most ingenious way for the purpose of entrappinc , Mr. Howard, but he trusted the i attempt would be defeated, and that the Court would think the rule ought to be dismissed with costs. Mr. CHAMBERS followed on the same side. Mr. JERVIS was heard in support of the rule ; and after going through the facts of the case at some ,length, observed that the statement of Mr. Howard in kis affidavit having gone to the extent of swearing, that I, he had, in deciding the case, acted bona fide, and with -1 '? u !' any personal feelings towards Mr. Charlton, and that being v all th at M r . Ch ar l ton h a d ever requ i re d, a lthough it :vas a wish vindictively that h e requ i re d an a p o l og y, he (Mr. J.) did n 1 h vindictively to press to have the rule made abso lute, but he trust e d enough had been shown to their tl' Lordship s to call upon th em t o ma k e it a con dition the discharged rule should be only on payment of Mr. ,Charlton's costs. The COURT, after n confer ' g together, said it was cle sr that Mr. C. Howard conferring acted s very intempe rate ly towards Charlto n . I t was m o termojuf d theicious in the party to have applied to the broth who had so condu c ted himself, in notbuth ehaving to act, had acted im p ro p erl y , receiving theinfor mations. On the whole , however, there could be no ground for charging him with actin g corruptly, and Itherefore the rule m ust be discha rged, each party pay iing his own costs. 1 COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 22. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY v. WIL SON, AND THE SAME V. FAIRCLOUGH. These two cases came on by agreement to be argued together, the questions in both cases being similar. The actiotis were brought by the Company against share holders; to recover calls, and the points disputed re garded the allowance of defendants' pleas. The pleas Fairdough were—iirst, never indebted ; secondly, never a proprietor ; thirdly-, that fewer shares had been issued than required by the Act ; fourthly, that the Company had deviated from the line marked out by the Act, and that the eall3 were for such devia tion. Wilson's pleas were, the two first•named- - al so, thirdly, that there had been no proper notice of the call ; fourthly, that no time, place, or person had been appointed for the payment ; and fifthly, that the calls bad been made for other purposes than those contem pi.ated by the Act. In answer to a suggestion from the Lord Chief Justice, the Learned Sergeant (Wilde), m h o argued for the plaintiff, said he would admit the p l ets 4 about notice, and fixing of time and Owe, to be given in evidence under the two first pleas—not ob- J . .ected to. But he strenuously opposed the admission of the last plea as to mis-application of the calls. This, he argued, fell not at all within the scope and proper object of the motion. It was a mere " fish ing" plea—to inquire into the proceedings of the Di rectors—to put in issue all the expenditure—a (Id all the measures of their management. That ought not to be attempted collaterally by such an action. The Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL—Are there not general meetings of the Shareholders to discuss the management of the Directors? Sergeant WILDE—Yes, my Lord, with special meetings, whenever required. Besides a Court of Equity was open to relieve the proprietors from mis application of funds. The whole question of the ma nagement of the Company can never be satisfactorily , discussed before a Judge at Nisi Prins. The Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL—Oh! I don't see how you can try it. Sergeant WILDE—Just to show what would be the consequence. Your Lordships will see that one point is an alleged deviation from the Parliamentary line. There would be put in issue, every curve, every yard along the whole line. Moreover, the question of im proper expenditure would bring into discussion every single item of expenditure. He could not imagine a more effective way of ruininc , a Company than becom ing a member of it, and then pleading such a plea as this against the payment of calls. It was clear that the ob ject of the plan could only be delay. For example, one plea was that fewer shares had been iussed by Di rectors than required by the Act, viz. 35,000, instead of 36,000. Upon the whole, the Learned Sergeant sub mitted that these pleas did not at all come within the meaning of the Act. Mr. CROMPTON appeared for the defendant Wilson, (Mr. COWLING for Fairclough), and argued that the defendants were entitled to have the pleas. Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL asked if the object of the defendant would not be equally answered by being permitted to raise the question on the general pleas. Mr. CRIIMPTON—We wish to put them on the re cord, to see what the plaintiff's notices are. Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL—That rather falls within the notion on the other side, that it is a " fishing" plea. Mr. CILUMPTON said, if their Lordships did not think the notice pleas could not be sustained— Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL—I certainly think not. Mr. Carr MPTON—Then we shall be happy, my Lord, to adopt your Lordship's proposal of bringing them under the general pleas. The Learned Gentleman then went on to argue that the last plea was good, because the Directors' right to make calls was conditional upon their application of the funds being conformable to the Act. Mr. COWLING, on the same side, remarked that an hour and a half's argument on the admissibility of the pleas, proved at least that they were debateable, and therefore admissible. The deviation plea had already, he knew, in one or two cases been admitted. The LORD CHIEF RISME, in giving judgment, said the Court considered they had in their discretion to disallow such pleas as did not raise the real justice of the case and only produced expense. The notice pleas were quite unnecessary ; they would be raised on the general issue. Then as to the deviation plea, it raised a question far too extensive and too complicated to be decided properly at nisi prius, and which it was never intended by the Act should be discussed in an action for calls, in which action it was enacted that the fact of being a shareholder, and of the calls having been due, should be sufficient for the plaintiff's case. It was never intended that on such an action the parties should dis pute a hundred points in the management, which should be settled at the meeting of proprietors. As to there being less shares issued than the required number, why the Act did really vest the 36,000 shares in the Com pany, and they were really in existence even if not ap propriated or forfeited. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY V. RICHARDS. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said this was an action brought by the Company against the defendant, to re cover the amount of two calls, amounting to 2/. lOs. on 40 share=. The case was tried at Guildhall, before Mr, Justice Erskine, and the verdict was for the plaintiff. By the Act, it appeared that the production of the share book and the proof of the call should be prima facie evidence of the debt. The Learned Sergeant had unsuccessfully objected to the evidence at the trial, lie now moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground of the insuffi ciency of the evidence by which the case had been proved.—Rule nisi granted. SKINNER V. SHAFFEY. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE give judgment in this case where an action had been brought for slanderous words spoken ofa surgeon, and there were in pleas not guilty nod justifie,ation.The first was found for defendant, it appearing that the words were spoken under peculiar circumstances, which made them privileged. The st!condjiti'As for plaintiff. The rule applied for had been that the master should review his taxation to allow plaintiff his costs, upon the justification plea. This would be regular under 1 Anne c. 16, where there was no certificate from the Judge that the defendant had probable cause for pleading special circumstances, unless case came under t2lJames 1., c. 16,which denied plaintiff his costs in actions for slander, when the damages were under 40s. The Court did not think this case, in which the jury had in fact given no damages, fell within that Act, which was against frivolous actions, and the rule must be made absolute. BAIL COURT, Nor. 22. DUNCAN V. JACOB. In this case an application was made a few doys ago, on behalf of Mr. Ebenezer Jacob, to discharge him out of the custody of the Marshal, on an affidavit, stating that it was not his intention to quit England, and pro ceed to Dungarvon. Another affidavit had been filed by an individual, named Merryweather, who stated that be had heard Mr. Jacob say he intended to return to Ireland. His LORDSHIP, after remarking on the conflicting affidavits, discharged the rule. After hearing a few motions of course,his Lordship disposed of the undefended causes. THE QUEEN V. LOMAX.—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. COCEBURN moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. James Lomax, the proprietor, printer, and publisher of the Stockport Advertiser, for a libel contained in that Paper of the 11th of October last, against Mr. Cop pock, the gentleman who fills the office of town clerk and clerk to the Magistrates, in the form of a letter written by two persons now under confinement in Chester Castle, on a conviction for seditious practices. On the day mentioned there appeared in the Stockport Advertiser a report of a meeting of the Working Mens' Association, in which was embodied a letter. dated " Chester Castle, Oct. 3,1839," and signed by James Mitchell and Charles Davies,,of which the following is an extract We know you must have a great deal to contend with. We are happy to hear that you are getting over some of your difficulties. We believe you must have worked day and night to have subdued those forsworn and black-hearted monsters, Coppock and his fellows, in the manner you have. 0, but the day will come, it shall come, when we shall meet these villains face to face ; yes, when they will be arraigned at another bar, to to receive wha; we have not at their hands, a just re ward for the false oaths they have fornsed against us to take away our lives if possible." Mr. Coppock in his affidavit stated that, he believed this part of the letter applied to him, and that the ob ject of it was to hold him up to public opprobrium, and keep up a feeling of and resentment towards him ; that he had never forsworn himself, nor did he, along with any other persons, form false oaths to take away the lives of Mitchell, Davies, or any other parties ; that he had been frequently attacked in that paper, and his conduct harshly commented on therein ; and that he believed the publication was published with a malicious intent to injure him as clerk to the Magistrates. His LORDSHIP granted a rule nisi. THE QUEEN V. THE BRIGHTON GUARDIAN.—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. THESSIGER moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the 1 proprietor, printer, and publisher of the Brighton Guar ( dian, for a libel on the Rev. Mr. Watkins, one of the "Vcars of the Cathedral Church of Chichester, and Rector of two parishes in that town. The alleged libel was contained in the Guardian of the 13th inst., and aros e out of the proceedi n g s at t he municipal election on the Ist of November. It stated th a t " th roug h wine and spirits, through gin and bee r , th roug h d run k and sober," Mc. Watkins " pushed his w a y an d too k to the poll men who were in that state of intoxication which so much excited his horror last year as to i n d uce . him to join his bret hren in denouncing t to the City Members." Mr. Watkins positively denied having taken any such part in the election, and stated that he merely went there to record his own vote. His LORDSHIP granted a rule nisi, COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nor. 22. MORRIS V. THE DUKE Olr NORFOLK. Mr. WHITEHURST moved to enter a suggestic.ln upon the roll in this case, in order that the had in any other county than Norf olk or Surrdli might be He moved upon the affidavit of the plaintiff, who was a clergyman. He claimed tithes in kind up on a (a. ge farm in the county of Norfolk, belonging to the tie, fendant, who, on the matter coming before the Assist ant Tithe Commissioner, set up a modus, which was found in his favour. The plaintiff was not content with the decision, and brought his action to try the right. He deponed that the defendant was a very large proprietor in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk ; that he had great influence in those counties, especially over that class from which special juries were chosen, and from that circumstance he did not think that in either h R e K E c o g u a l i ( d i b t h a v e e c a e e fi e ti t r y a e n f d N impartialtrial. was a of ~\,t ir o . s eu c a o r u e n e t ip e sA very large one, and it was absurd to suppose that any man bad such influence as to prevent a fair and impar tial trial.—Rule refused. (Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. ALDERSON.) ALMAJIER V. JAMES. In this case Mr. HUMPHREY appeared for the plain tiff, and Mr. THOMAS for the defendant. Mr. HUMPHREY said this was an action brought by the plaintiff, a French milliner,' residing in the neigh bourhood of Cavendish-square,' against the defendant, a French lady, to recover 201. Bs., the amount of a bill for goods supplied and work and labour done. To this the defendant pleaded that she was only indebted in the sum of 31., which she bad paid into Court. The defendant, at the time some of the goods were supplied, went by the name of Madame Petit, but she occa sionally went by the name of Madame James, in whicil name she was sued. The evidence, though mixed up with some little scandal quite irrelevant to the sm., possessed no public interest. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages five shillings. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nor. 22. IN TILE MATTES OP ALFRED BUNN. This bankrupt, late lessee of Drury-lane, and at pr-- sent manager of the St. James's Theatre, came up to day upon his choice of assignees. His liabilities amount to between twenty and thirty thousand pounds. Tile Court was crowded with theatrical and other gentlemen. Lord Glengall appeared to prove a debt of 12,000! against the bankrupt as lessee of Drury-lane, on behalf of the proprietors of that theatre. The claim was al lowed to be proved. Mr. Grieve and Son (the scene painters) proved far 600/. Their proof was allowed. Messrs. T. Cooke, Peake, Brindal, King, anti Compton, also proved debts against the bankrupt. Messrs Maplestone and Beasley were the proposed assignees, and were appointed to that office without op• position. The bankrupt stated that he was now manager of the St. James's Theatre. WOOLWICH PETTY SESSIONS. (YESTERDAY.) During the last few days there has been a good deal of excitement in the town of Woolwich, on account oi the sudden disappearance of a female named Julia Sul. livan, the wife of a labouring man named Daniel Su.li van , under such circumstances as to induce a very stron:T belief that the husband had been concerned in her dis appearance, and that she had come to some violent death. The Magistrates were yesterday engaged for considerable time in investigating the circumstances (,f this, at present, most mysterious affair. The husband, Daniel Sullivan, was placed at the bar in custody. Mr. WATTS, the high constable of Woolwich, said that from the facts which had come to his knowledge he felt it to be his duty to cause an investigation to l'e made before the Magistrates into the circumstances connected with the extraordinary disappearance of the wife of the prisoner. He had ascertained that they were last seen together at a public-house in Woolwicil on the ni4ht of the 12th of November, about half-past eleven o'clock, and they left for the purpose of going home, and since that time she had never been seen 01 heard of. Neither the prisoner nor his sons had, it ap peared, ever nu de the least inquiry about her, but cou tinued their work. From this extraordinary behaviou-. and other circumstances of a suspicious character, had thought right to place the matter in a train fur z. full investigation. Witnesses were called in proof of these statemen:s, and among others two boys, sons of the prisoner ; h the Magistrates not considering the evidence sufficie: to warrant them in detaining him, ordered him to lw discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A miserable object named Mary Williams, having an infant in her arms, was charged with shop-lifting. It appeared that the prisoner entared the shop o' Mr. Telford. liesir in New -street, Covent-garden, and asked to be served with a pair of stockings for ln child ; and a gentleman being in the shop purchasil, some pocket handkerchiefs, seeing the miseran. condition of the baby, offered to pay for tln, stockings, but the prisoner, being in liquor, refusea and became exceedingly abusive, as she was not ser,•( before him. After rnakinr, the purchase she vet , 1 away, and in a few minutes it was discovered she 1,. stolen three silk handerchiefs, produced ; but a dese' tion of her person being given to the policeman on • beat, she was in a short time taken into custody. The prisoner pleaded intoxication, and she was cc committed to Newgatc for trial. Edward Duncombe, keeper of a print and book CA 78, Long-acre, appeared yesterday upon, an infornaat: laid under the 4th clause of the Vagrant Act, and 't Ist and 2d of Victoria, chap. 38, clause 2, which char, a him with having on several occasions wilfully and ki-A, ingly exposed to view, and caused to be exposed to certain obscene prints. Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Pritchard, Secretary to t L,• Society for the Suppression of Vice, appeared to s t,_ port the complaint, and Mr. C: Phillips for the defenc:• Mr. Clarkson, after reading the clause in the Vag:4, , Act, said that as doubts had at different times arises specting the construction of the statute, it was thou:::.' ❑ecessary to pass the other Act for the purpose of abling the Magistrates before whom such an offence as • defendant was charged with was brought, to a summary puni.hment. It appeared that the shop question had painted over the door, " John Wilson a:.:; C 0.," although the defendant was the proprietor of and it was to prevent the alarming consequences net - rally arising from the disgusting exhibitions in the win dows, that the Society which he had the honour to re present had adopted the present proceedings. If an: - thing could add to the disgust of such abominable prim.:.. the contents of the books, of which they were the frc-,-- tispieces, were in every sense evidently calculated 1 , pander to the most revolting vices of persons base enour to purchase them ; and as it was unnecessary to dwt. longer upon such a subject, he would call evidence. prove the case. Thomas Sanders, 38, Weymouth-terrace, Haggc• - stone, proved that by the direction of the Society 1, wenL to the defendant's shop on the 24th Oct. name of John Wilson and Co. was painted outside, ny,: an going in between two and three o'clock in the after - noon he purchased the book produced from the defen dant, which he handed down from a shelf, It was (2',- titled " Venus' Album," and he paid 2s. 6d. for it. Witness also saw a book of the same kind in the win- dow, the frontispiece of which was exposed. The °tin r book he bought from the defendant, and for which i,.! paid 75., was the " History of Betty Ireland." T.: frontispiece was also fully exposed in the window. Wit ness at another time purchased similar books. The two barristers argued the case at length, the one contending that the case ought to go to a Jury, and the other asserting that the prisoner could not expect ranc-11 benefit from a Jury, having been thrice convicted alreat'y for a similar offence, and urging the Magistrate to co.l• vict summarily. Mr. JARDINE then said that as the defendant been apprehended the night before, he would grant Ern until this day to appear again, but he should in tin meantime put in bail. The required sureties being in attendance, the de fendant was liberated. Yesterday morning, between three and four o'clock, a woman named Mary Lloyd, aged 33 years, threw hers..il into the Thames at the stairs on the Surrey side of Mad:- friar's-bridge. She was got out by a waterman, a. (? was given in charge to the police. She bad lived in service in the neighbourhood, but had lately been di,- charged from her situation, and had become much distressed. We are sorry to state that there are at presen t a great number of weavers idle in the town of Paisley. On Friday a meeting of the unemployed was held the Old Low Church, when a Committee was a;.- pointed to ascertain the number of persons idle, and ',- port to a future meeting, with a view to having tl:. it case laid before the Magistrates.—Scottish Guardian. The Americans are so accustomed to fires, th unless on a large scale they scarcely think them wor:ii notice. A New York paper announces the barning " several small houses" in the following laconic man ner :—" Fire.—The alarm of fire last evening w caused by the burning of several small buildings Si x tythird-street, near the Bloomingdale-road." Wl:. more important ones occur the Insurance Compani, appear to have a pleasant time of it. The Washingtr:3 City Fire Companies were pelted with stones, brick bats, and other missiles, on a late occasion, by a num ber of blackguards in George-town, to which place they had repaired for the purpose of suppressing a sup posed fire. GAMBLING AND SELF-MURDER.—Between seven and eight o'clock on Thursday morning, as two men belonging to colliers were rowing up the river, they observed a respectably-dressed man precipitate himsl It into the river, just before they had reached Greenwich, whither they were going. They instantly rowed to the spot, in hopes of saving him, but the body sank, arni was carried away with the stream. One of them, how ever, found a small slip of writing-paper floating, cn which was written, " I am an unfortunate man, who has lost a splendid fortune and my la t penny at the accursed gambling h—s. I have not a friend in th , :, world." He was a tall man, and apparently about 40 years of age. MRS. GORE'S " PREFERMENT."

He said to a gentleman who visited him on last Sunday, " I was not the man for such an undertaking, for the moment I saw blood flow I became terrified and fled." " But," said he, " what was I to do f I went up the moun tains a few months ago ; on that occasion the men sur rounded me and said, Mr. Frost, if you will not lead us neither you nor your family shall live in Newport ; we are beginning to suspect you.'" The following anecdote will prove that Frost is not a man of blood, and was therefore ill adapted for his late station. A few years past he was with a shooting party up the mountains. One of the party accidentally shot a dog. The occurrence had such an effect on Frost that he was seized with illness, and was compelled to return home. His wife is in constant attendance on him, and he is allowed every facility for making his defence, in preparing which he is busily engaged. Yesterday his attorney, Mr. Geach, who is also his step-son, made an application to the Magistrates for the papers found in his house, and copies of the several depositions against him. The Magistrates could not entertain the applica tion, but directed Mr. Geach to the proper quarter where it should be made. An application will be also made to the Home Secretary, praying that the Special Commission may be postponed until the present excitement is abated, and to enable the prisoner to preduce witnesses who live at a great distance from Newport. The inhabitants of Merthyr are dreading an attack from the men of Nantyglo, as the latter threaten the former for not having joined them on the 3d. A gentleman, who has just returned from the mountains, informs me that nothing can equal the imprecations and threats of the Chartists there. He stated it as his opinion, that if Frost is hanged nothing but assassination and burnings will follow. However, the decisive measures adopted by the Government, and which have been so efficiently backed by the authorities here, will defeat all such attempts. A public meeting will be held this day, to enable the inhabitants to testify their grateful sense of the great services ren dered on the 3d inst. by Captain Stack's gallant Corn , pany of the 45th. The examination of prisoners is pro ceeding with, but it developes nothing beyond what ap peared in the former evidence. THE STAMFORD BULLARDS. Notwithstand;ng all the precautions adopted, and all the efforts apparently . made to prevent the bull running at Stamford on the - lath instant,'it would appear as if there was no real desire on the part of the inhabi tants, either of the higher, middle, or lower grades, to abate the nuisance. From certain proceedings which have taken place in the town council, it appears that, though the question was not directly put, the informa tion most particularly sought was, who were the parties at whose instance the interference on the Part of the Go vernment took place; and though some reprobated the practice, though otherspalliated, and though none defend ed it, yet neither would any admit having taken active steps in the first instance to put it down. As to the swearing in constables, it was a mere farce ; for, as soon as the cry of " The bull" was raised more than one of the " specials" was seen to drop his staff, doff his coat, and set off in hot pursuit. Last year the London police were sent to repress the practice, and, a young bull-calf having been let loose at the bridge, five or six of the rioters were arrested and tried at the Stamford Ses sions ; but the proceeding was a mere mockery, as the jurors were observed to smile significantly at the prisoners, and the consequence was an acquittal. Five persons have been arrested on the late occasion, and are bound over to appear at the ensuing Sessions ; but it is said that, owing to the result of the former trials, the Magistrates intend to remove these cases to Lincoln ; but considering the spirit which has been evinced, it is doubtful whether they will adhere to this determination. This doubt is strengthened by the fact that, though Mr. Thomas (Secretary to the Society for the Suppres sion of Cruelty to Animals) had two witnesses ready, and was willing to defray all the expenses of the pro secution, the Magistrates would not alloW him to be present at the investigation which took place on Tues day, and the consequence was that Mr. Thomas quitted the town with his witnesses. MA RKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nor. 22.) SUGAR —British Plantation Sugar has been taken very sparingly by the Grocers this weak, particularly brown and low mid yellow qualities, which have not maintained their former value by 6d, and in some cases Is per cwt ; uood and fine yellow kinds have brought previous prices. For Refining purposes soft kinds have been sold on easier terms, strong descriptions at previous quo tations. Berbice, low brown at 565, Demerara mid dling grey but of rather better quality at 573, Dominica mid grey but rather soft 61s 6d, good strong coloury 655, Jamaica good mid 62s 6d a 63s per cwt. Barbadocs good brought former prices, good to fine sold at 67s a 68s 60, mid to good mid 64s 6d a 66s 6d, low middling 63s a 63s 6d, washed, &c. 60s a 63s per cwt. REFINED.— Standard lumps have sold currently, at 78s 6d to 795, good brown lumps at 77s to 77s 6d, and common at 75s 6d to 76s per cwt. In common Bastards few sales have been made, good have fetched 598 per cwt. Pieces on former terms. Treacle of common quality at 31s, the best old make has fetched 333 per cwt. Fur bonded crushed 34s 3d to 34s 6d have been accepted for parcels deliverable in two and three weeks, for immediate delivery 34s 61. Loaves have been taken sparingly, for 141bs 36s to 36s 6d, and for 10Ibs 37s 6d to 38s have been accepted. Treacle at 13s 6d. Bastards 17s to 18s. Pieces 223 to 283 per cwt. In Dutch crushed Sugar sellers at 335, deliver able at Amsterdam. To-day refined Sugars for the home trade are still scarce, but the trade show very little disposition to pur chase of crushed from Foreign Goods Refined in bond, to- delivery in a fortnight to three weeks, some sales have 'Jee❑ made at 34s 3d a 84s ad per cwt. Loaves continue plentiful and dull of sale. Mluarrics.—This afternoon the biddings were languid at the auctions, which consisted of 2,300 bags, and pricer, gave way Is 6d per ewt for brown and mid yellow kinds; the best yellow sorts fetched former rates, low mid yellow sold at 58s 6d a 60s, mid 61s ad a 62s 6d, good mid 63s a 63s 6d, good and fine 65s a 66s 6d . . one lot very fine 60s, strong greyish brown 55s 6d, mid and good 56s a 5Ss 6d, low ditto 50s to 523, very inferior black 40a a 41s 6d, low damp taken in at 1836 d per cwt.

FOREIGN.-The e has appeared more inclination to pur. chase yellow Havanna'', but the merchants refusing to sell at previous rates, have tended to check business; the pri . ...ate operations have been 300 chests, at 24s to 26s 6d for low middling and good quality ; in white there is still nothing doing. In Brazil a fair business has been trans acted on former terms ; the private sales are 250 ellests, at 22s to 26s for very low and middling white, and 19s 6d to 21s for good and fine brown ; at th ese ra t es the importers do not appear anxious to sell. the '‘ our °r la st RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND& -- le sales ar report, Jamaica only b R i u Zt ht•re has not been much demand s ine previous rates h ave b een su pported; h Nuns, 26 to 28 over proof at 5s 3d t o 5 s 4 d , 29 to 38 ever 5s sd to 5s 10d.
