SOUTHWARK ELECTION. - MEETING OF THE NON-ELECTORS. A meting of the non electors, convened by placard, was held last evening, at the Chartist Rooms, Black friars-road, to take into consideration the three candi dates now before the electors of Southwark soliciting to represent the borough in Parliament. At eight o'clock the chair was taken by an operative named Nodder, who, having made a speech of some length on the ob iects of the meeting, called Mr. Cooper, who has re cently been liberated from Stafford gaol, to address the meeting. Mr. COOPER moved the first resolution, which was so loosely drawn up, that the speaker candidly admitted he could not understand it. Its nature, however, seemed to be a statement respecting " the natural riits of man," as embodied in the People's Charter. The speaker proceeded to comment at some length on the five points of the Charter, 'and concluded by expressing himself in favour of Mr. Miall, who was an advocate of all those principles. Mr. FEAROUS O'CONNOR next addressed the meeting. He complained that the placard convening the meeting had not invited Sir William Molesworth to attend, that he might hear his (Mr. O'Connor's) answer to the Hon. Baronet's statement of the previous evening. Sir William had, in his (Mr. O'Connor's) presence, stated that he was in favour of universal suffrage, and if he now denied it he was guilty of a falsehood. When he was a candi date for the borough of Leeds, his profession that he would support these two points were the strongest claims put forth on his behalf. But Chartist principles were more fashionable then than at present, and although the Hon. Baronet was then ready to support them, he now shrunk from the prospective inconvenience attending their advocacy. Mr. O'Connor then went into a length ened statement of his own political views, and concluded by seconding Mr. Miall as the only candidate worthy of the suffrages of the non-electors. He had often quarrelled with Mr. Mall, but now he supported his principles they were as man and wife. The resolution was carried, and the meeting separated MEETING OF MR. FILCHER'S FRIENDS. The friends of Mr. Filcher held another meeting last evening, at seven o'clock, at the Literary Institution, Borough-road, Mr. Charles Shaw in the chair. The admission was by ticket, and there was a very full at tendance of electors. The CuAIRMAN, on opening the business, was received with loud applause. He was about to proceed, when a person in the gallery asked if he had been appointed by the meeting.—(Great uproar.) The Chairman answered that he had been elected by the unanimous sense of the meeting before that gentleman came in. —(Cries of " No, no, it is a packed meeting.") He wished it to be fairly conducted, and now he asked that gentleman to stand up and say what he had to advance against him. The person alluded to then got up and protested against the course taken. It was the usual course to wait till the meeting had assembled, and then to appoint the chairman. In the present instance a select few had been admitted by a private door, and Mr. Shaw had taken the chair before the regular door was open to the electors generally. It was evidently a scheme to pack the meeting.—(Uproar.) The CHAIRMAN said he would now proceed to tern the meeting.—(" No, no," hisses, and great uproar, in which the speaker's voice was drowned.) After a few minutes, comparative order was obtained, when the Chairman resumed. He was in the chair by right, and he would keep it.—(Uproar.) The person who had in terrupted the meeting would here every opportunity of having his say before the meetitg had closed. What, be would ask, was the occasion of the present meetiug ? It was of a series of gatherings greater than any that had previously taken place. They were in the midst of .a contested election, and they had to consider the ela.ims of those seeking their franchises to represent in the ;lonse of Commons this great intelligent ciin znFreial community. There were three candidates: the first was a learned man, and some said a reverend gen tleman, and he asked them to elect him because he had no rank, claim, or reputation by which he was entitled to command thAr respects_ —(Ci.ies of "Read it right, you are misrepresenting it.") lle had none of those things which candiikts are expected to possess. He sail he was p .or, and though te,verty was sometimes a virtue, yet when a man was placed in a high °Mee he ought to in eirJurnsttinces to pay his debts. They would, therefore, consign to the t-mb of the Capulets this gentleman, without rank, propz , rty, or reputation, who wanted the title of M.P. to protect himself against his creditor. Me. Milli said votes by hallot.—(Very good.) The gentleman says very good, but they had tried it in France for many years, and found it very bad. It had been there only a mask fur corruption. Would English men submit to this—men had been in the habit of meeting in political discussiin f.lce to face, and inde pendently a'ating their ?—(Uproar, which fur some time are,ste:l the proceedings of the Chairman.) He would leave the ballot and go to universal suffrage. He would eterarchLie the honest awl industrious man, but he would tvit give votes to the thief and the I.Pg,gur.—(Cheers and uproar.) The Chairman then *slt at sonic length, and amidst considerable uproar, to diste..et the political and religious principles of Mr. Mialt and Sir William Molesworth, in doing which he aleelare4 the latter to be an infidel for editing flobl.s's works, mid concluded by calling on Mr. Filcher to ail. .dress tin) reacting. Mr. Prt.onftit begged a patient bearing from the easel ing, as ho was sure they must all be tired with the i4terrtiptions that had already taken place. He was Lepey to stand before his brother electors ; and, ire call in theta brother electors, he consilered that he enj iyed a privilege beyond the other candidates. He had a still further claim upon their indulgence, because it so hap pened that he was born in the borough, and if they re turned him as their Member he was sure it would reflect no disgrace upon them that they returned one of them telves.—',Cheers and cries of " Never.") He was a com mercial man, and, therefore, fitted to represent a corn uvreill borough. He was anxious to maintain all their hospitals, dispensaries, and other charities. He was intimately acquainted with the navigation of the River Thames.—(Great laughter.) He wished the lectors to consider the vast advantages that would e. • from making docks fur the steamers, which would arise the amount of labour and the rate of wages. — increase These were some few of the subjects which, (Cheers.) ' Peeliament, he would promote. He would if returned to , ,I"rotestant ascendancy. He would op .always Inaie "7„.„ - ,,"„ ;imilar to the Maynoeth grant. eo - u a u l to . obtain a cheap loaf for the P ile " would any dint; eels h ae!fore long to see the four working man, and be Ito pound loaf sold for fourpence.—(Cheers.) From the result of his canvass he felt confident of being returned, and he w r th ould always vote for measures and not men. your wa en pro. A resolution in Mr. Fialchers r. s Dare, after posed by Mr. Palmer, lulu s econded {;y er g the Chairman, and the which thanks were voted fO. 'fleeting separated. wondered, it seemed, whether he (Mr. Miall) had ever read Hobbes. That smacked of the self-complacency of the shcool of " philosphical Radicals ;" they fancied reading and knowledge pretty exclusively confined to themselves ; reminding him of a nursery rhyme— " She wants to have the sweethearts all her own ; But that she silent, depend upon't, when I'm a woman grown." —(Laughter and cheers.)Sir William defied him to put his hand on a passage in Hobbes derogatory to Chris tianity. It was one of the distinguishing characteristics of the writers of that school, that they did not come out open-mouthed against the system they wished to under mine ; their whole work was insidiously to instil false principles into the minds of their readers, and, osten tatiously professing some reverence for the system, they laboured to establish truths which, if admitted, would go to overthrow it, be it religion or liberty that was con cerned. Sir W. Molesworth might be asked to put his finger on a single passage in Gibbon, even in the most objectionable chapters which could be selected, as op posed to Christianity, though every one was well aware that the whole tendency and purport of his writings was to pervert what we regard as the truth.—(Hear, hear.) It was to be feared that the Hon. Baronet, and the whole school of " philosophical Radicals," imitated too closely the writings from whom they derived their knowledge and their principles ; they would not openly profess what they were ; they endeavoured rather to insinuate and instil principles hostile to civil and religions freedom, while professing something like an outward reverence to the cause they would destroy.—(Cheers.) But can didates ought to show the utmost openness of spirit; and nothing should be reserved or concealed, however it might preindice their interest. If Sir W. Molesworth really sympathised with that philosopher whose writings he so highly eulogised, then he was in favour of some thing like a system of centralising despotism; and the earnest support given by the " philosophical Radicals" to the New Poor-law Bill, and to the gathering up of despotic power in the hands of two or three men, to be exercised without restriction or control over the whole mass of our labouring population, led to the conclusion that they did sympathise with Hobbes in this respect — that they were for the principle practised on the con tinent for centralisation in regard to the sustenance, the education, and the religion of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Miall) was not so intolerant as the Hon. Baronet pretended ; what he aimed at was that the religion of every man should be let alone—the entire separation of Church and State.—(" That you will never get.") Of all schools the " never-get" school was the most despicable.—(Cheers.) A complete representation of the people would soon secure this object.—(Cheers.) The Established Church was the great support of the corn-laws, and the most formidable obstruction to the progress of liberty. The clergy were as nerves spread over the body politic, to convey aristo cratic influence to the remotest corners of the empire. That system must be put an end to.—(Cheers.) There was great power in trnth. He hoped to tell it in the House of Commons, and it should not be in that conven tional method which was used to conceal the real nature of things.—(Hear, hear.) Let this election be carried, and other constituencies would take heart, and have hope, and would no longer put up with the best bad man they could find.—(Cheers.) Every day's returns gave his f:iends a brighter prospect.—(" Molesworth for ever 1 .” from two or three near the door.) Persons were sent now to disturb their meetings. There were some the previous night. He had on the platform a weapon taken from the pocket of one of them, and another which was picked up in the inn-yard, with the former of which the lan,:lor.i's s,fo %-tas as sailed.—(Mr.Miall held up two bludgeons each about the size of a policeman's staff.) These men were doubt! ss paid by somebody, and that somebody was a partisan of Sir W. Molosworth ; but if his cause could only be car ried by such weapons, it was not worth the support of Southwark.—(Much cheering.) If thi., e4meof sympathy with ll.:bbes, he was glad his own opinions were not de rived from that source.—(Renewed cheers.) Let his friends give an early vote on Thursday ; there were numbers waiting to vote for him, if they saw they safely cou'd.—(" What do you say to a standing army lie would vote fur the utmost prscticab!e reduction, and en deaveur indeed to do away with a standing army, and let the liberties of England be confided to the patriotism of her sons.—(Cheers.) Tee usual vote, pledging the meeting to support Mr. Miall was then moved by Mr. Star, a Wesleyan, se conded by Mr. Noweom, and support, d iiy Mr. Maynard, Mr. 1). Pratt ; and the Rev. Mr. Richards, the latter of whom reminded the meeting that it was but a few months since numbers of the electors cheered the sentiment, that the first gnesti,Tl to a candidate—and to which all utlicrs should give way—should be, " What about Maynooth?" The resolution WM carried una,nim ,usly, nod after three cheers for Mr. Mini!, the meeting broke up. MEETING OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTII'S FRIENDS. A meeting of the electors of the parish of Bermondsey was held last night at the Leather Market Tavern, Wes ton street, Borough, to promote the election of Sir W. Moleswortb, Bart. The large assembly-room was crowded, about 400 persons being present. The chair was taken at seven o'clock by Mr. Thomas Chadwick, who introduced Sir W. Molesworth to the meeting. Sir W. MOLESWORTH, on presenting himself, was greeted with loud and prolonged applause. Ho said that his committee had completed their canvass, which he was happy to state had been most successful.—(Cheers.) The contest ;was now between the Tory candidate and himself. Mr. Pilcher, who was not very fond of speak ing, had obtained the assistance of a Mr. Shaw as hi; mouthpiece; and this Mr. Shaw was one of the strangest persons he (Sir William Molesworth) had ever heard of, both with regard to his oratory and his arguments. Mr. Shaw had lavished much personal abuse upon him !Sir William Molesworth), but to that abuse he would not reply. He did not think it worth his while to crush every gnat that might attempt to sting him; but he could not help laughing at the reasons urged by Mr. Shaw against a repeal of the corn-laws. It appeared from his speech last night that Mr. Shaw bad found, in some story book or another, that, a long time ago, a great people existed called the Romans — (A laugh)—and that they imported their corn from a country called Egypt; and he found that, after the lapse of ages, that great and powerful nat ion fell into ruin and decay. Mr. Shaw inferred that the decline and fall of the mighty Roman empire was attributable to the fact that they did not establish a corn-law.—(Laughter.) 'Then Mr. Shaw told the wiseacres who were gaping around him, that they were very like ancient Romans— (A laugh)—and that if they consented to a repeal of the corn-laws the decline and eventual ruin of the British empire would be the result. He thought Mr. Shaw must have learned logic from his grandmother—(A laugh)— and that he was one of those men who would gravely tell them that the Tenterden steeple had caused the Goodwin Sands.—(Laughter.) Sir Wm. Molesworth then proceeded to explain in detail his opinions on the corn-laws and other political questions, declaring his firm adherence to Liberal principles, and concluded by expressing his readiness to answer any questions that might be pat to him. As no person in the meeting evinced any disposition to catechise the Hon. Baronet, Mr. Vounee came forward to move a resolution, ex pressing the satisfaction of the meeting with Sir W. Molesworth's statement, and pledging thews& yea to use every possible exertion to secure his return. lie ob served that Mr. Shaw, who had taken such a prominent part at Mr. Pileher's meetings, was not an elector for the borough, but he had certainly done great service to Mr. Pilcher, for, like Balaam's ass, he had spoken for him. — (Loud laughter.) Mr. llaanis seconded the resolution, which was care ried unanimously. Sir W. Moetswowrit briefly thanked the meeting fur the confidence they reposed in him, and expressed his conviction that he w•eald be the successful cAndidate. Ile then moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried by acclamation, and the meeting broke up. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. COAT. IMAM:LET.

Mr. Wuke was caned to the chair. Mr. Miat,t, was received with great applause. Hey said, the contest was assuming, more than he could desire, the aspect of a theological controver s y . The blame of it had been thrown lip in him, and he W denounced as bigoted, intolerant, and uncharitable ; whereas he avoided any allusion to the religious sentiments of his o pp onent, until that opp pent, in bail taste, and with a wor.'c hurled at him the title of " Reverend," evidently intend ing thereby to disparage him in their estimation. — (Hear, hear.) On the previous night Sir W. Nlolesworth had put forth an elaborate defence of Hobbes, of Malmes bury. He cood forth as par exedlence the reprasenta gve and advocate of civil and religious liberty.

This is a most or imperfect execution of work, THR SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER a, 1845 LAW INTELLIGENCE. PALACE COURT, Westrw'nster, Sept. 5. (Before Mr. CORRIZ.) COCHRANE V.DALT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 19/, ls. 6d., for editing and abridging the American edition of the " Mysteries of Paris," and for reading and correcting the printer's proofs. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and a set-off. Mr. Locke and Mr. Beadon conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the defendant. The person who had to do the composition of the work said he had got the copy for the printers from the plaintiff, and the proofs were sent to him to correct. He considered one guinea very reasonable for reading the printer's proofs. The son of the last witness proved the delivery of the proofs to Mr. Cochrane, for correction, and had afterwards seen the proofs corrected in the office. Mr. Mills, the editor of the Sportsman, said he considered that one guinea a sheet was very reasonable for reading the printer's proofs, and correcting them. Mr. Laden, the printer who had done the press work, said that he had been endeavouring to mediate between the parties, and that the defendant denied the claim, but offered to pay 71., and plaintiff offered to take 101. The edition had been a long one. He had, on one occasion, used six reams of the plain tiff's paper to finish the volume. Mr. Daly gave him an order from Mr. Cochrane, authorising him to use it. Witness had accepted a 4t31. bill for plaintiff, which he dishonoured, and Mr. Daly gave the money to take it up. He had in his possession paper belonging to the plaintiff much above the value of the bill, or he would not have accepted the bill. He had a me morandum from Mr. Cochrane to keep the paper as a security for the acceptance. Miss Cochrane said that the defendant had been at her father's house and offered 71. for the sake of Mrs. Cochrane. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, V. Is. 6d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIVSION.HOUSE. A meagre Scotchman, who refused to let his name be known in the fear that it should be conveyed in a defiled condition to his native country, through the medium of the press, was brought before the Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR (to the defendant)—Do you persist in refusing to say who you are ? Defendant—Yes, your Lord ship. You will excuse me—l am not inclined to appear in the newspapers. Will your Lordship prevent the publication of my name if I mention it. The LORD MAYOR—I have nothing to do with the publica tion of it. I shall call you John Thomas, and I put you down in that name in my book. Now (to the officer in whose cus tody the defendant was) what have you to say against John Thomas ? The policeman said, that as he was passing along on his beat, he saw the defendant sitting close to the door of a house, the dog of which was barking violently ; knowing that the animal .vas one of great sagacity, his attention was the more particu -1 arty attracted to the appearance and condition of the stranger, whose pockets seemed to be bulged out, and whose clothes had he marks of whitened walls very palpable upon them. Wit eess asked him what he was doing, to which being in a state of ntexication, he replied, by asking the question—“ What's that , o you ?" These words were followed up by language casting mputation upon the general body of the police, and describing .hem as a set of vagabonds, who impertinently interfered with -he affairs of the respectable members of society. Finding that ie was not likely to get a satisfactory account of so strange a isustomer, the witness took him to the station-house, but his , ntroduction there by no means improved his manners or his respect for the force, and lie was detained until six o'clock, shen the inspector, fancying that the little imprisonment he 'tad got would operate as a corrective, told him that he was at liberty to go. The permission, however, had no effect, but ;hat of exasperating him to the use of still more offensive Anguage, and it was determined that the Lord Mayor should is appealed to. The Loan MAYOR asked the prisoner whether he wished to , ay anything ?—The defendant replied, that the policeman had committed perjury, for although he (defendant) had been drink ng, he was perfectly sober when the man walked up to him, ind wanted to know all about him. He certainly considered that such interference was altogether wrong. He had been fatigued with walking, and be sat down. Why any body should question him upon the subject he could not conceive, and he was resolved not to stand it. The policeman, in answer to questions from the Lord Mayor, stated that the bulk in the pockets of the defendant was occasioned by the p. ominence of his wardrobe therein depo sited; that in refusing to leave the station-house, in which be had rested, he violently intimated that his application against the inspector in the Queen's Bench should be immediately made, and his whole conduct became troublesome in an ex treme degree. The Loan MAYOR—I fine you five shillings, Mr. John Thomas, for being drunk. The defendant—That's not my natee. The Loan MAYOR—Never mind. It will do as well as any other to go to prison with. The defendant—l shan't pay the money. The Loan MAYOR—Then you must go to prison for seven Jays.—The defendant was committed. Elizabeth Evans, a person of very serious deportment, who had with her a female child, was charged by a policeman. W. Morris, 419, stated that while he was on duty in a street near the Mansion-house he saw the prisoner sitting at a hal:- door, apparently very unwell. He asked her what was the matter with her, and was told by her if she had a drink of water she would be better. The witness procured her some water, and at her request left her ; but he kept his eyes upon her move ments, and soon found that s he managed to fall into fits when she thought he was not in the way to witness the per formance. Upon being convinced that her experimental dis order was about to be interfered with, she suddenly recovered, and said it was all right with her. The witness, however, in formed her that she must walk with him to have the advice of a medical man, who was a good judge of maladies of the sort. Instead of rejoicing at the prospect of effectual assistance she slipped out of witness's hands, and was suddenly seized with a tit .f running, in which she appeared to be every atom as clever as she had just shown herself to be in fainting. She also showed that she had as much command of her tongue as of her heels, for never did witness endure such a shower of disgusting abuse as she heaped upon him. The prisoner said she was sobeside herself with suffering, that she really did not know what she said to the policeman, and she hoped his Lordship would let her go about her business. The policeman said that the prisoner, although she stated her self to be the mother of the child in the justice-room, had owned in the station-house that such was not the fact; and witness believed that the infant was hired to assist in carrying out the delusion. The Loan MAYOR—I fine you 20s. The prisoner—l have got no money to pay the fine. The Loan MAYOR—Then you must go to Bridewell for one month.—Committed. QUEEN SQUARE. Ann Wright and Mary Ann Jones were placed at the bar charged with the following daring street robbery. At a little after twelve on the previous night a tradesman named Gellman, residing in Yeoman-crescent, Brompton, was passing Hyde Park-corner, when the prisoner Wright came up to him and invited him to take a walk with her down Consti tution-hill. He refused, and was in the act of proceeding to wards his home when she suddenly threw her arms round his waist, and before he could extricate himself he found by the pressure of his guard chain on the back of his neck, that she had got hold of his watch, which but a minute before was safe in his waistcoat pocket. and had by a sudden and violent jerk forced it off the heavy silver guard chain to which it had been attached. She immediately ran off with the watch, but he pursued and caught her, when she gave it to the other prisoner, who was standing with her at the time she accosted the pro secutor. Jones darted off at full speed with the watch, but finding that the prosecutor who had loosed his hold of Wright, was overtaking her, she threw the watch into the Green-park, a minute or two before she was captured. The police came up at the moment, and both prisoners were taken to the station. The watch, which was a very handsome patent lever one, was picked up uninjured. The prisoners pretended that they knew nothing whatever about the robbery, and, indeed, had never seen the watch. They were committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, for the assault and robbery. MARLBORWJGH-STREET. Thomas Brown and Lewis Green were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having robbedb Mrs. Anne Lockyer, the wife of James Lockyer , E s q ., N 19, Southampton street, Fitzroy-square, of her reticule. Mrs. Lockyer said she was returning home about four o'clock the previous afternoon, and when about 20 yards from her own door, the prisoner Brown ran up to her and cut the string of her reticule, and ran off with it. The reticule contained two gold chains, some keys, and about I Is. 6d. in silver. Shortly after the prisoner Brown had committed the robbery he was stopped by a man, and he then threw the reticule away, and it was caught by a man whom she believed was the prisoner Green. The reticule now produced was her property. Her dress was also cut by the prisoner, in his attempt to get posses sion of her reticule. James Brown, a labouring man, living at 31, Ship-court, said he was standing at the corner of Fitzroy-square, on Thursday afternoon, when he saw the prisoner Brown run towards Mrs. Lockyer, and snatch a reticule from her arm. Witness pursued the prisoner into Fitzroy-square, and having caught hold of him, the prisoner threw the bag to the prisoner Green, who was a few yards behind. Green then ran away, and witness released Brown and pursued Green, and secured him after great resistance. Witness had noticed the prisoners were in company together just before Brown took the reticule. Richard Savage, a stonemason, said he was at work at the corner of Southampton-street, when he saw the prisoners in company together. Brown left Green and followed Mrs. Lockyer, and immediately afterwards Brown snatched the reticule from Mrs. Lockyer's arm, and ran off. Witness followed and secured Brown. The prisoner Brown said he should reserve what he had to say for the ears of a jury. Green denied that he was near the place. The prisoners, ere fully committed. WORSHIP-STREET. A gentleman, whose name did not transpire, and who was ac :ompanied by his professional adviser, attended before Mr. Bingham to solicit his assistance under the subjoined circumstances : The applicant, through his solicitor, stated that he was some time since in possession of a crossed cheque for 23!., which had by some means been stolen from him without his being cognizant of its having disappeared. Upon calling upon his bankers, about three weeks afterwards, he was much sur prised to find that the cheque had been already paid in through another banking-house, who, it appeared, had received it from Messrs. Hopkins and Co., linendrapers, in Shoreditch, with whom he at once communicated, to ascertain the means by which it had fallen into their hands. He was then informed that on the evening before the day it had been paid in at the bankers, a woman who stated her name to be Jane Williams, made a purchase at the shop of some haber dashery articies, and tendered in payment the cheque in question, representing that she was compelled to proceed that evening to Gravesend, where her friends were staying, and as the cheque was a crossed one, and it was then beyond banking hours, she would be unable to procure cash for it else where. There being no reason to doubt the truth of her state ment, and as she appeared to be a person of great respectabi lity, the cheque was received in payment of her purchase, and the balance handed to her. The object of the present applica tion was to request that the magistrate would grant either a warrant or summons to compel the attendance of Mr. Hopkins, to account for his possession of the cheque, or to ascertain the proper mode of proceeding to re:over its value, as it was quite clear that the transaction, as far as the banking-houses were concerned, was perfectly regular, and in the ordinary course of business. Mr. BINGHAM said he was not at all certain that he would be justified in granting a warrant or summons under such cir cumstances ; and even if he possessed the power of compelling an explanation by that means, it appeared to him pretty mani fest that th e on l y la formation Messrs. Hopkins would be able to afford had bean already elicited. There could be no doubt, however, that due caution had not been exercised in the nego tiation of a cheque presented in such an irregular manner; and it had been decided by the Judges, after elaborate argument in a case which occurred about sixteen years ago, and to which e.;cssrs. Hailing, Pearse, and Co were parties, that the person so incautiously receiving such property was clearly responsible ' for its value. He should recommend the parties to take the opinion of counsel upon the matter, as their only remedy was by civil action. The applicants thanked the magistrate for his attention, and expressing their determination to pursue the course he had in dicated, quitted the Court, BENEVOLENCE.-Mr. Bingham has received two subscrip. tions of a sovereign and 10s. from " S." and " Anonymous," for the two young women, named Mudd, whose distressed situation was noticed yesterday in this paper. LAMBETH. Henry Mansell, acarman, in the employment of Mr. Renton, a soap manufacturer, in Park-place, Walworth, was charged before Mr. Henry, on suspicion of being implicated in a burglary and robbery upon the premises of his master, and stealing from the counting-house nearly 601. in cash. From the evidence it appeared, that during the night of the 15th of last month, the premises of Mr. Renton were broken into, the desk in the counting-house broken open, and about 601. taken out of the cash box. The prisoner was the first per son to enter the premises on the Saturday morning, when the outer gate was found open, and the robbery discovered ; but at that time not the slightest suspicion was entertained of his honesty. On the Monday morning following, he called his master into the stable, and said he had been drink ing the night before with a person who had given him some information about the robbery, and he (prisoner) had no doubt that if allowed two or three hours he would find out all about it. His master told him he might devote the whole day to it if he liked, and he went away to pursue his inquiries. In about an hour or so after, however, , he returned, borrowed a shilling from his master, and went away again. In the afternoon of the same day the prisoner re turned to the premises, and informed his master that one of the barmen at the Swan public .house, in the Old Kent-road, oppo site to the Dover terminus, informed him that Tommy Thomp son had changed a 51. note there after the day of the robbery, and previous to this the prisoner had obtained from the prosecutor the number of the notes stolen. The prosecutor, on learning this information, proceeded to the swan, and on mentioning the circumstance to the landlord, the latter exhibited all the notes he had changed for some days pre ceding, but the stolen notes were not amongst them. The prosecutor also inquired of the barmen in the house if they had mentioned anything to the prisoner about Thompson changing a note there, and all denied it. The prosecutor pressed the prisoner for some explanation of his conduct, and repeatedly requested he would give up the name of the person who he said he had been drinking with on the Sunday night, and who had given him some information about the robbery, but he positively refused to disclose it. The prisoner said the information had been given to him by the man while he was under the influence of liquor; and the prisoner having pledged himself that he should not disclose his name, he should not do so let what might be the con sequence. The prisoner persisted in concealing the name, and was re manded to a future day to give the constable engaged an op portunity of further investigating the case. CORONER'S INQUEST. An inquest was held yesterday at the Hare and Hounds Inn, in the parish of Miekleham, in the county of Surrey, before a respectable jury, touching the death of Frederick Rowland Lynch. Atter the jury had been sworn, and charged by the Coroner, they retired to view the body. George Bundle, farmer's labourer cf Mickleham said, on Tuesday night last, about eleven o'clock, I was at a fair at Boxhill, and saw the prisoner Taylor close to the Military-road, leading from the turnpike• road to the top of the hill. Saw the prisoner coming down the hill, and Frederick Lynch coming down the hilt close behind the prisoner. Lynch said to the prisoner " Are you not the man that challenged me out to fight up in the booth P" I did not hear any reply made, but Taylor immediately called out Stephens. George White was with the prisoner when he called out Stephens. The moment that Lynch spoke to the prisoner he ( witness) saw the prisoner put his right hand to his side about his trousers' pocket, and pull out an instrument, and called out, " D— your eyes, draw your knives you that's got any." Lynch immediately said, " See where you have stabbed me ?" put ting his hand to the left side of his body. Lynch and Taylor were close together. I saw the prisoner make two thrusts at the deceased, unaccomp an ied by any expression whatever. White was on the ground when I saw the thrust made at the deceased. I don't know how he came there. I suppose he was knocked down by some one. I saw no blows struck, and no scuffling before the deceased was stabbed. The police was called, a policeman and a constable came to the spot, but the prisoner had run off the hill before they arrived. The deceased was then lying on the ground, and bleeding very mueh at his side. I gave information to the police who had done it. I did not see the prisoner again until he was brought back in cus tody of a constable. The deceased was brought to this house. I saw two wounds on the left side of his body ; saw no other injury on his person. These wounds were inflicted by Taylor. White could not have done it. There was no possibility of any other person doing it. It was a dull night, but I could see the instrument that Taylor held in his right hand shine and glisten ; it seemed to be very small. He used the instru meat the same moment he called out to the others to use their knives. He made no reply when the deceased said he was stabbed ; when Taylor ran off I followed him as far as the turnpike-road. I returned to seek for a constable. I did not hear of any quarrelling or disputing between the two men at any time during the afternoon. I never heard any challenge given to fight by . any person during the %%hole of the afternoon and evening, until I heard deceased say to Taylor, as they were coming down the hill, " If you are the man that challenged me to fight, lam ready to fight you like a man." Not a blow was struck by either of them, but Taylor stabbed the deceased in an instant. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Smallpiece, of Dorking, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, but no fact of importance was elicited. George Tidy, in the service of Mr. Miller, of Dorking, cor roborated the evidence of the two last witnesses in their material points. George White, carpenter, in the employ of Messrs. Cubitt, said, after he had been at the fair about three hours, he and the prisoner were coming down the hill on their way home, the prisoner being a few yards in advance. When within about 100 yards of she bottom, his attention was attracted by a voice calling out, " Here is some of them ;" he turned and saw from 10 to 20 men coming down the hill towards him and the pri soner ; ho endeavoured to avoid them by giving them room to pass. They were armed with sticks, and making a great noise. He had no sooner turned round than he wa s knocked down and beaten almost senseless. His hat was broken to pieces. The witness said I did not see Taylor again until he he was in custody, and I was then charged with murdering a man and given into custody. James Rice, constable of Mickleham—From information he received he followed and overtook the prisoner, who was walking steadily along the road, and took him into custody upon a charge of having stabbed a man. The prisoner ex claimed, " Good God, you strike me with terror !" He searched his person and found a glazier's diamond, but no knife of any description. He saw no marks of blood about him. He searched the road and the hedges from the foot of Box hill to the spot where he overtook the prisoner, and did not find any instrument whatever. Mr. Thomas Dapper, surgeon, of Dorking, was called to attend upon the deceased. He described the extent and nature of the wounds with great minuteness; and said that death was caused by a wound on the left side, below the ribs, of one inch in width, and at least four inchesin depth, inflicted by a sharp pointed two-edged instrument. The CORONER summed up with great care and minuteness. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of— " Wilful murder" against Francis Taylor. The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the Kingston assizes. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. Yesterday a Commission de lunatico inDiire - ndo was held at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and a jury, to inquire into the state of mind of Mrs. Sophia Ann Elizabeth Chissold. Mr. Foster, the barrister, attended on behalf of the heir-at law, Mr. Hatherly. The Learned Counsel having stated the nature of the evi dence which he intended to offer in support of the Commis sion, called several witnesses, amongst whom was Mr. Turner, the uncle to the unfortunate lady ; Mr. Hatherly, surgeon, and a brother to the petitioner ; Dr. Burroughs, and others; but whose evidence was a repetition or corroboration of Elizabeth Roberts, who deposed that she lived as servant with Mr. Chissold since the year 1836. That her master was married on the 14th of February, 1837, and she saw Mrs. Chissold for the first time the day previous to that event. She appeared to be in good health, but childish in her manners. About three or four months after the mar riage her mistress broke out into violent fits of passion. On one occasion she refused to get out of bed, and insisted on hav ing her dinner brought up, which was done, and she threw it over the counterpane. She also threw a glass of gin -and water over the bed. At times she would not get out of bed for three months together; that in January, 1838, her master and mistress went to live in Clarence-place, Pentouville, where she broke all the glass ; she then went into the kitchen and burned twelve yards of muslin curtains ; she also tore up two 20/. notes, and burst them. She likewise flung all the wine about the room ;. and because Mr. Chissold would not let her go out, she flung her bonnet and muff on the fire. Upon another occasion her mistress locked herself in the bed-room, when she threw out into the street her work-box, which con tained two gold watches, several valuable rings, gold chains, and other articles . of jewellery. This continued until Mrs. Chissold went home to her mother, in 1840. The unfortunate lady was then introduced, and although only 28 years of age, appeared to be 40 ; in a low tremulous voice she replied, to the Learned Commissioner, that she was now living at Mr. Bush's, at Clapham. She was far from being comfortable, for she was so teased by four or five females who were always in her room, and calling out " nappy." She never spoke to them, nor could the turn them out ; before this she thought they used to annoy her, but that was fancy ; hut it could not be so now, for she saw them ; her property was 300/. a year. At times there were persons under her bed with knives and scissors, they wanted to do her an injury. The jury here said they were perfectly satisfied, when they found that Mrs. Chissold was a lunatic since the 31st of July, 1840, and incapable of managing her property.

'l'nn GAME-Laws IN WiLTs.—lt is a remarkable fact that there is not, at the present time, one individual con fined in either of the prisons in this county for offences against the game.lavy s, nor has there been one of this description of offenders in confinement for six weeks past, although the county abounds with preserves and coursing-grounds as much, probably, as any shire in the kingdom, and although there are petty sessions held weekly in about twenty places within the county.— Sherborne Journal. ARRIVAL OF TWO MALE OSTRICHES.—Two very fine African ostriches were last week added to the previous splendid collection of the Surrey Zoological Gardens. These gardens are nightly thronged with visiters. The magnificent pictorial exhibition of Edinburgh will, at the close of this season, be removed for other novelties, and we advise all who have not seen this acme of scenic illusion to avail themselves of the opportunity which remains. MORE MEDICINAL WELLS !—Some weeks Iwo, we noticed the medical virtues of a spring of water at Clachna harry. This well has, however, run dry, and our towns-folks have betaken themselves to one at the mills of Culcabock. This he(e el water I s has n at men eern si r o se 7 ra i n ie o s gni risen yg t i h n eton impregnatedu higher ber . fw r repute former. who h he a o n mf t ri h en e fm frequent tet e nh r. dme w ell. We are not yet aware that any analysis has been made of the spring. but certain it is that not a few health seekers from this town place implicit faith in its virtue, and we have seen numbers partaking freely, and as many more filling jar., bottles, and vessels of different shapes and stirs. We have received a communication respecting a chalybeate spring lately discovered on the farm of Lurg, in the parish of Abernethy, the waters of which, in point of strength and general medical pro perties, are said to approximate even to those of Strathpeffer. A medical practitioner of the district has pronounced so favour ably of this cell, that crowds of invalid pilgrims are repairing thither, no doubt in the hope of returning with renovated health. We think the high opinion entertained by many of the virtues of mineral springs might partly be dispensed with. It is more than probable that the change of scene, the exercise, and the amu-ements which are enjoyed at watering places con duce as much—perhaps more—to benefit patients or non patients than the copious draughts quaffed from the healing springs which are thus multiplying on all sides. —lnverness Courier. THE WEATHER AND CROPS. The past week has done much to relieve thefears enter tained of the fate of the harvest. Each day has been an improvement upon the preceding in warmth until Sun day, when the beat was excessive—the barometer stand ing at nearly 80 deg. in the shade. Yesterday morning a slight frost was experienced, and it appeared for awhile as if rain was going to set in, and disappoint the expectations of those husbandmen who were ready to commence reaping; but after a cloudy forenoon the sun at length burst through, shedding his beams with equal brilliancy as on the preceding day. Under such cheer ing influences, we are enabled to look abroad and behold reapers engaged in many fields in the neighbourhood, and note a pretty extensive tract where the crops have assumed a tinge that in a few days will subject them also to the operation of the sickle. In other parts of the county we learn that harvest has likewise briskly begun; and under such favourable auspices as the present, it will be general in a week in most parts of Ayrshire. In the comparatively high-lying districts of Tarbolton and Alauchline, however, we understand the crops will not be fully ripe for a fortnight to come. Along the shore, at Ballantrae, a number of fields were begun to be cut down on Saturday. The farmers say they can scarcely recolle3t of such a wet summer; and it is believed that nothing could have sustained the crops on their way to maturity amidst such heavy rains, had it not been for the very excellent seed time, and the well prepared state of the soil.—Ayr Observer. During the last eight days the weather has been truly delightful, and the crops have consequently undergone material improvement in all quarters; wheat and barley, in particular, now present a luxuriant appearance, and, unless on poor soils, are quite ready for the sickle. A good deal of both has already been reaped, and in a few days ham-st will be general throughout the neighbour. hood. The same agreeable weather, we are glad to say, has prevailed in all parts of the country, and has begun to lower the prices of grain, little doubt being now enter tained of a very favourable harvest. —Tyne Mercury. For the last few days we have indeed enjoyed all the warmth and beauty of summer. Never was there finer weather, n , ver did the country look more promising; we hope a happy omen for the coming harvest. All round the city the country presents the aspect of a smiling garden, and the farmers are in high hope and high spirits. We sincerely hope for a continuance of suet, favourable sunshine just now, and we shall have shortly the ripe ears of corn come " reeling down to earth."- - Cork Examiner. _ THE HAAVEST.—Since Wednesday last the 'weather has been highly favourable for bringing to maturity al kinds of crops. There has been a constant succession of fine light breezes and bright sunshine, which have had s wenderful effect in ripening the grain-, The wheat fields e ere slightly lodged by the late heavy rains, and soul of those early sown have suffered from the rust. TI.. quantity of wheat grown in etre north is, however, nnine p o rta n ,compared n progresswiththee all the way from other of barley Dingwall, and a finer crop was never seen. In thi, neighbourhood th e scythe and sickle have both been at work—at BughA, Kinmylies. and along the banks of thr Canal,.stook . 4 are r i s i ng . At llolre, Mr. Grant has 1 splendidf.eld of oats which will be cut in a few days. 01 Friday cast Mr. Macdonald of Croyatd, near Beauly, ere an eetcellent field of barley ; and at Taichrich, in the sm- vicinity, shearing commenced on Monday. On Mon day 150 shearers were at work on the farm of Drynie. Barley harvest was commenced at Rosehaugh on Friday. and 100 shearers have since been busy on the Nitrite Farm. The last few days have had en aston'shine ' effect on the crops. We had an opportunity last week of seeing the country from this town to Strathp. ffer, and were highly gratified with the appearance it presented The barley fields were richly luxuriant, and the turnip, (especially at Contin and around Beauly) strong and healthy. In Nairn and Morayshire, the turnip crop or: light soils, where late sown, is not so promising, but ii the north the appearance is universally good. A Caith ness correspondent writes—" Crops are late and greet, in Orkney, but remarkably heavy ; you can have ne idea of their luxuriance. Here we shall have harvestie about a fortnight, and a large crop. . Turnips and po tames are good everywhere. Grass is i rather scarce, owing to the bad weather, but it will improve yet f this fine weather continues. Nothing has been done . for the last month in the sale of cattle." —ln v erness Cour i er. Thu: E HAHVST.—The operations of the harvest in this district are proceeding with remarkable alacrity. Se veral large breadths of produce of every description have already fallen before the scythe and sickle, and, in some instances, secured in barn and stack. The state the weather has been favourable for these operations ; although it has not partaken of that clear and brilliant character which is essentially necessary for the speedy ripening of the grain. Various opinions prevail with re gard to the probable yield. Speaking generally, it may approach an average crop ; but it is unquestionable that in some localities, notwithstanding the abundance of straw, there will be a deficiency, arising principally from the unfavourable state of the weather during the im portant period of blossoming. Happily, however, the se rious apprehensions which began to agitate the popular feeling, with regard to the safety of the crops, has now subsided with the occurrence of favourable harvest wea ther.—Doncaster Gazette. harvest in the " far west" may be said to be pretty general. As we stated a week or two since, the yield of wheat is not so large as last year—but the barley and oats are fully average crops.—Penzance Gazette. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR THE NEIGP BOURHOOI) OF DEVIZES, It is a satisfaction after the different opinions, contra dictory statements, and general ill-forbodings, respect • ing the wheat crop, to arrive at that period when an opinion may be formed ; especially as the result is so tar beyond what the most sanguine had anticipated. Till the 20th of August the weather was cold, wet, and un genial ; the crops wore a green and blighted aspect, and though the ears were fine the grain was soft, and imma tured. Since then the weather has been fine and dry, and the sun powerful, which has completely changed the appearance of the crop, in ripening the grain and im proving the colour and quality bey lnd any expt ctation. On the low lands the bulk of straw is very great, and, excepting where lodged, which is not to any extent, the quality is good ; the same may be said of the best hill lands, of both of which there will be considerably above an average. On the light description of hill soils the quality is thin, as well as on the new broke down lands. On the latter the plant is also in many places thin on the land ; altogether the stop will,44 . o4}ytt tan average of very fair quality . Reapink'ototeiMbo4 4b4ut the 25th, and will be finished ger,erally this week; neatly half has been harvested : another week of fine weather will suffice to complete the remainder. The crops of both oats and barley are large, and ef good quality, many fields of the lormen•having already been cut and harvested. Beanh, vetches are very good—much above an average crop. The turnip crop, as well as other kinds of sheep food, are very plentiful. Se eep are in good condition, and selling freely at 4s. to ss. per head over last year. The potato crop, which till lately promised so luxu riantly, is everywhere blighted by a disease, the nature of which is as yet unexplained ; the leaf of the haulm is first affected, presenting a withered appearance, which gradually extends down the haulm, and eventually reaches the root ; the only remedy seems to be to cut or pull up the haulm, which should be done before the con tagion reaches the root.— Wiltshire Independent. TAE POTATO CROP.--So serious has been the disease which has attacked the potato crops almost every where, that at Redruth market on Friday last a market gardener of this neighbourhood sold a considerable allude quantity to es a a tss2usr us that in conse quence o f th e f a il ure in. per bushel, for pigs, Th e i n di v idu a l we his crops be shall lose between 1001. and 2001. We understand from a farmer who resides at St. Erth, that in that parish many fields of potatoes have escaped the blight altogether, whilst others have been only partially affected, and some entirely destroyed. Those partially diseased seem to be rapidly recovering, and the stalks exhibit much vigour, and he is of opinion that very shortly they will have been so far restored as to leave no trace of the blight which has created such general apprehension and alarm. We learn, also, from a person called Curnow, residing at Newlyn, near this town, that he has several acres of potatoes which have altogether escaped the blight, while other fields close by have been seriously affected.—Penzance Gazette. THE HERRING TRADE. _ The fishing during the past week has been much re tarded by rough weather; but as there are splendid ap pearances of fish on the coast, there is still a hope che rished of the fishermen being able to make up their leeway. The John o'Groat Journal states, that the total average at Wick for the season is 90 crans, or eight behind that of the last year at the same date. As yet the fishing along the whole of the Scotch coast is con siderably under an average one, particularly on the shores of the Moray Frith, where the prevalence of northerly winds has been muck against its prosecution. Much, however, may yet be done. There has of late been a considerable rise in the prices of cured fish at Wick, as high as 21s. per barrel for full crown brands, having been offered, which sum several curers have re fused. Meantime the accounts from the continental markets are very discouraging. arising from a large im portation of the early-caught fish, but they are expected to rally so soon as the accounts of the backwardnes s of the fishing shall have reached the various ports. Irish markets rule from 245. to 255. The largest arrivals seem to have been at Belfast, where the quotations are 245. 6,1. A sale of 300 barrels of Norwegian herrings took place there lately, and brought a very poor figure indeed. Leith markets may be stated at 235. The ac counts of the fishing at the different stations are varied. The fishing is at an end for a season at Helms dale, and the average is eleven crans better than last year. Owing to the late unfavourable state of the eather the boats at Lossiemouth and B . urghead have not been much at sea for some time , and it is almost cer tain now that the fishing at these sta,tiems will he poor compared with past seasons. At Fraserhurgh the total average is about 55 crans, and the bottt at Peterhead 844 crans each. The men employed in the herring fishing on the west coast, particularly about Lech Ey- Tina. z•calpi. and Brearif,,rd, have been amply remune• rated. Toe genr , ral tag- h..s been from one to six bar rels, of good quality. This has been the case for weeks. —lnverness Cow ier. ---- I'ARTRTDGE SIMOTING.—The sea on for this sport opened on Monday, but, owing to the lateness of the harvest, operations, we believe, will be delayed for a few weeks.
