ElMai LA W INT-M—LIGENCE. couRT BANIcutTPTGY, Sept. 5. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RI IllellAEL _ Mr. Du Nc.s.N applied on behalf of this insolvent, who car ried on bwiness as a soda water manufacturer in Little Charles street, Hampstead-road, for his discharge from custody. Mr. John Sykes said he was the detaining creditor, and wished to oppose the application, but his solicitor was not present. The ComatissioNza observed that it was the duty of soli citors to be present in time—he should not let the case stand over on that ground. The Learned Commissioner asked what the nature of the objection was ?—Mr. Sykes had every reason to believe the insolvent had money or property sufficient to pay the debt. The Commtssiowea—That is not an objection on which a prson is to be detained in prison. It is not because he can pay and won't that 1 can detain him. Is that the only ground ? Mr. Sykes—l don't understand much about it myself. I th,,uglit that was a good ground. The COMMISSIONER—Can you say that he contracted the debt under fraud ? Mr. Sykes—l don't know how it might be in law. Commissiowza—What was it for, goods sold and delivered Mr. Sykes—Yes, sir,: we had been dealing for about a year an nine months. At this stage of the proceedings, however, it was discovered that as this was an es parte application, and the insolvent had only seen taken into custody on Saturday last, the papers were not present, and the case was adjourned, but ultimately the order was refused, the insolvent having fraudulently disposed of his property. IN RE HARDING. Thi; bankrupt, who carried on business as a hosier at Graves end, acid Chiswell•street, London, came up for his final exami nation. The principal objection was that the bankrupt stated in his balance-sheet that he had received 6,000/. odd for ready money sales, a which he had not kept any account, and which he al leged he had, from time to time, paid away to creditors. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he regretted that the law was not to the effect that not keeping books was a distinct of fence, subjecting the party to imprisonment. He, however, did not consider that it was sufficient ground to refuse the bankrupt from passing his examination. The case was ultimately adjourned until Commissioner Fun blanque returned. SECONDARIES' COURT, Sept. 5. There was only one case set down foe and in that the record was withdrawn. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES AT TAM CITY ORIEN- T ARD.-. George Boyle, the driver of cab No. 2,034, was brought before Alderman Copeland and Alderman Musgrove under the tollowing circumstances : John Newman, the owner of the cab, stated that the defend. ant had been in his employ about two months. On Sunday last he went out with the cab'about nine o'clock in the morn ing, but instead of driving it himself he employed another per• sun to act for who, about two o'ekick in the afternoon took it to the Redcross-street stand and there left it, from whence it was taken to the City greenyard. He had not only lost his time as well as the work of the horse and cab for the day, but had to pay 13s. fees to the keeper of the yard before he could obtain his property back. Alderman COPELAND said the charge was most shameful, and wished to know how it was made oat. Newman replied that Is. was charged for bringing the horse in, and 3s. the fee to the yard ; also Is. each wheel for bring ing in, and' Is. 3d. each greenyard fees. Several hackney coachmen here said that the fees were too bad. if a coach was in the yard only two minutes before it could be released, the parties would have to pay 175. Alderman COPELAND thought there mutt be some over charges, and tent for the master of the yard. Oti his at rival, A derman CorELAND wished to know how he made out the charges?—The Master said they were per fee- ly correct, according to the table made out by the Court of Aid .rrnen in the year 1833. The four shillings charged for banging in were paid quarterly into the Chamberlain's office, but formerly used to be paid to the Commissioners. Alderman COPELAND said he would give the defendant one month to. pay his master for the loss he had sustained, which 'would be 1/. Is. With respect to the overcharge of 4s. for the horse, he would consult the City solicitor, and if he was of the saute opinion as himself with respect to the rules, the money slotted tie returned. He would, however, advise the proprietors of cabs," coaehes, &c., to petition the Court of Aldermen aeainv the charges, and he had no doubt they would be mate rially altered.—The patties then retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Th.., Hon. Mrs. Greville, of Eaton-place, summoned Cor poral Msj.tr Parkinson, of the Knightsbridge Barracks, for detairiirg a horse, her property, value 141. 10s. The eircumsunces under which the summons was taken out appear to' be these, although the absence of the com plainant prevented them from coming out in evidence in the ordinary way : A servant of Mrs. Greville was sent to sell a horse at Tat tersali's. Ile made a sale to the defenda nt, which sale was disputed by Mrs. Greville on the plea that she had never au thorised the seller to sell her property. The defendant was applied to, bilfhe refused to give up his purchase, and, in order to compel him, a summons was taken out. The case appeared to excite rather more than usual inte rest, as several officers of rank were in Court, among them the Earl of Munster. Attn:; waiting an hour for the complainant the proles slonal geotleman who attended on behalf of the defendant applied .to.the Court to have the summons discharged. Ile considered that his client had been rather hardly dealt with, in having, been compelled by summons to come. to this court with his witnesses, to show cause why he detained a horse, when the'Clearest evidence was in existence that the animal had been fairly bought, and that the lady herself had recognised and acquiese4in the validity of the transaction for at least nine slays befbie the summons was resolved upon. Air. HA aDwiCK said, the representation made to the Court when the. summons was applied for was that the amount was sander 151.; iovalue, arid that the horse had been disposed of to the - detendant without the knowledge er consent of the owner. „4,s_ta matter of course the summons. was granted. The Learned Gentleman hopedthat his client would net again be taken fro.n, his business to answer a complaint never intended to be briielat fornard. The defendant, he conceived, ought to have ces;iipensation for his ]cue of time, and he hoped the ma gic!. tte would oblige the complainant to pay the expenses in curred. " Mr. Ha anwtoc said he had no power to give more than the ordinary costs for the summons. 'I he summons was then discharged. L'U W- SIRE ET, Thomas Giles,t;ie and Joseph Canty, two plasterer's la boare.re, were placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged wii it breaking into a cellar belonging to Mr. Bourgess, pawn broker. 9f 124 Long-acre, and stealing therefrom several bottles of port H ite arid of ale. The ,rhsecutor said that the prisoners were employed yes terslay upon the lower part of his house, there being no person in that part of the premises but the prisoners and the cook and lentse.naid. At about six o'clock in the evening, the prisoners left the house, being at the time very drunk. After they- were gone the housemaid came to him and told him that the cellar had been broken into. He went to see whether anything had been stolen, and he found that the door of the cellar had been burst open. S e veral bottles of port wine and three bottles of ale had b:-en stolJn. Afterwards four or five bottles were found hidden in the area, the necks being broken off, and marked with plaster, frem which he conc luded that they had been broken cif tititi plasterer's trowels. The prisoner said that there were several other peesons in the house who had the same opportunity of stealing the wine that y had.—Committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. Mr. James Johnson, of No. 10, Union-street, Somers-town, green-grocer, was charged with damaging the cab of Mr. J. Wlllingsgale. The prisoner, whose bead was bandaged, and who bore marks of severe ,and recent injury, was driving down Highgate-hill, on the previous evening, at a quick pace, when the harness having eiien way, the horse bees--me ungovernable, and dragged the cart against the complainant's cab, which stood at the foot of the The cab was smashed, and the prisoner and his e.iie were, by the collision, thrown into the middle of the noel 'Tae prisoner's head was laid open, and the upper part of his face severely cut and bruised. His wife was so much in jured that her life is despaired of. She was carried to a pub lic house hard by, where she no.v lies in the greatest agony. 'f he unfortunate prisoner, who had discharged the cabman's claim, and who seemed to suffer great mental and bodily pain was discharged. LAMBETH. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY NY A SERVANT.—Jane Brigh twe was charged before Mr. Norton with stealing a cash-box, con taining lei. in gold, five pounds in silver, and a 5/. note, and also various other property helenging to her late mistress. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been servant At the Hope and Anchor public-house, in Park-street, Kensington, but had been discharged on Tuesday fortnight. On the evening of Tuesday following the bed-room of Mrs. Lucas, the landlady, was entered, the drawers forced open, and a cesh-box, containing the above•meutioned property, and several arttcles•of jewellery, carried away.

Lucas as her property, and as having been io the cash-box at the time it had been stolen. Itroeks pro duced the whole of the property found, together with a chisel, which he also discovered in the pri.ioner's room, and which he oat fitted ex icily to the marks made upon the drawers of the prosecutrix, arid which had been made in forcing them open. Mr. thews, who attended for the prosecution, presented fur the doeistrate'e perusal a nudiber of love letters, from which it ' appearrel thst the prisoner had carried on a correspondence nf a tender kinit with afoot guardsman, quartered in the St. George's Ilirracke,- and there was little doubt, from the fact of the wed ding-ring arid the fine dresses bei n g found at her lodgings, that she was about to get married to him. Toe prisoner, after a lengthened examination, was remanded for a week. It.ereezz Lem ENT.— George Ronahlson, a journeyman baker, was charged with the double otrzince of embezzlement and ab sconding from his master's service. .M'. William Henderson deposed that the prisoner, after takieig out with him a large barrow of bread to serve his cus tomers wiih, had left the barrow and bread in the street and absconded. Since then he had discovered that he had received various sums from his customers for which he had never accounted, and, having traced him to another employment in Aldersgate-,tree', he gave him into custody. Mr. Henderson added that from inquiries lie had made, he had ascertained the prisoner had absconded from several masters in a similar wanner, but he was not aware that he had been guilty of • ember/ &merit before. The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done. e. Henderson observed that masters in his trade were at the e4;eoplete merey of their men, and hoped his Worship would dee! wish the case iii a summary manner for absconding from Via employment. fe,„Nnairbs did so, and sentenced the prisoner to the Ligree penalty the law permiited, namely, three months' e.

CORN-EXCHANGE The present week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce, coastwise, as well as by land carriage, and samples have been seasonably extensive, viz., 5,910 quarters, about a moiety of which has been produced this year. The quality of the new Wheat on show to-day was very good, while the prices eb tained varied from 48s to 60s per quarter. A few of the parcels weighed 641bs. per bushel The supply of old English Wheat not being large, and the attendance of buyers some what on the increase, the demand for that article was steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. In new Wheat only a moderate business was doing on that day's de pressed currencies, and at which a clearance was not effected. A large quantity of Foreign Wheat has been received this week, the total import having rather exceeded 15,000 quar ters. Selected qualities moved off steadily, other kinds slowly, at previous figures. The duty has now fallen to 17s per quarter, but, as yet, very few parcels have been entered for home consumption. In Corn under lock very little was doing, yet holders would not submit to lower terms. Very little Barley was on show. Grinding parcels were in request, at full prices. In other kinds comb paratively little was doing. The supply of Malt being on the increase, that article ruled dull, and where sales were pressed, a slight decline in value was submitted to. From Ireland no Oats have reached us this week ; yet the supply of fine foreign was good. Thg Oat trade was again dull, at barely stationary prices. Beans were in moderate request, at unaltered figures. There was rather more doing in Peas; but Flour experienced a very dull inquiry. ARRIVALS. Barley. 160 qrs. Wheat. 5,910 qrs. Oats.

From Holland we received 113 Oxen and Cows, 180 Sheep, and 18 Calves : from Scotland only 30 Scots. The number of Sheep was small. Most breeds were in good request, at full rates of currency.

Yesterday the first wife, married in England, was again in attendance. She is a very lady-like and accomplished woman, only 28 years of age, and has borne the prisoner one son, now aged four years. She left the prisoner in 1843, in comequnite of his barbarous usage of her. In a short time afterwards he attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat, and was con veyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he remained for three mouths before he was cured. On his recovery he paid his addresses to a young female named Ann Biles, who is now only twenty years of age, and to whom he was married on the 21st of January, 1844, at Whitechapel church. Yesterday, on the prisoner being placed in the dock, much curiosity was ma nifested to obtain a sight of him. He is a very remarkable man, with a thin face, sallow complexion, and immense bushy whiskers, quite black, and nearly concealing his face. In Oc tober, 1841, he was tried at the Old Bailey fur destroying his mother's will, and acquitted. The first witness called was Joseph Brown, an elderly man who said he was a carman, and lived at No. 19, Samuel-street, St. George's-in-the-East. He was present at the prisoner's marriage at Whitechapel Church, in January, 1844, but he did not know the name of the woman, and he only knew the pri soner by sight. Mr. BAODERIP—Is the woman present ?—Wilson, 230 K, who conducted the case, replied in the negative ; and stated that siece the last examination he had compared the certificate of the marriage of the prisoner to Emma Hoy, at St. Luke's Church, Old-street, on the 30th of October, teas, with the register book of marriages, and found it to be a correct copy. The first wife was now present. Mr. Bacinitzte said he must treat her as the first and lawful wife, in the absence of any proof of the American marriage, and he could not receive her testimony. Wilson said that when he called upon the last witness, he said the maiden name of the second, wife was Ann Biles. Mr. 13m:spat:ay—I thought he was keeping back something. How is he connected with the prisoner ? Wilson—He is car man to the firm (Barclay and Friends) to whom the prisoner is cooper and foreman. He also informed me that the wedding was kept at his house. Mr. BRORIRIP called Brown up, and asked him if that was so ? Brown—Eh ? I'm hard of hearing. Mr. BRODERIT (loudly)—Did you not tell the officer the name of the woman was Ann Biles, and that the wedding din ner took place in your house ? Brown—No, Sir ; they did not dine at all at our house on the wedding day. Mrs. Brown, who was examined last week, here lifted up her hands and exclaimed, " Oh what a story ; he has forgotten it all ; they did dine with us." Mr. Baonstalp—Where did they dine Mr. Brown ? Brown —I don't know. They never dined at our house; they only tea'd. Mr. BRODERIF—Don't you know the woman's name was Aon Biles ? Brown—l never heard it before—what is it ? (Laughter. ) Mr. BRODIERIT—That is no answer. Did you not tell the officer her name was Ann Biles? Brown—l never told the officer so. Wilson—He told me her name was Ann Biles, that the wedding dinner took place at his house, and that the prisoner made a speech to the guests after dinner, and advised all the young men and women to do exactly as he had done, and get married as test as they eould.—(Loud laughter. ) Mr. BRODERIP—Did you tell that to the officer? Brown — How could I. Mr. BRODKRIP—What do you mean by this prevarication, and putting a question to me instead of answering one ? Brown —Well then, I never did. Mr. BRODERIP--. Did you ever visit them after the mar riage?—Once or twice, or so. Mr. BRODERIP—Stand down, sir. The truth will be got out of you in another place. Brown left the witness box and was retreating towards the door, when Mr. Broderip ordered him to be stopped, and said he was not to go yet. Wilson said he saw the second wife Ann Biles, on the evening of the 27th ult., when he apprehended the prisoner; and a man living in the same house was asked by klibbert to keep her back and not let her appear against him, and the man said it was all right, she should nut come. He had reasons to believe she was kept out of the way. Mr. BRODERIP—And Brown is carman to the firm Wilson—Yes, Sir, and on intimate terms with the prisoner. They had frequently visited each other. Mr. 13RODERIP —There is an evident reluctance on all hands to prosecute this man. There is no public prosecutor, and I heartily wish there was one. The witness, cunning as he is. will find it difficult to frustrate the ends of justice. The depositions of Mrs. Eliza Smith, sister of the first wife, Mrs. Brown and Wilson, taken at the last examination, were. then read over. Proof of the two marriages was clearly made out. Mr. BRODER!? asked the prisoner if he had any defence to make? Prisoner—None at all here. Mr. BRODERIP said it was his 'duty to commit the prisoner for trial for this felony. Something had been said about his having another wife in America. whom he married there, but there was no legal proof of such a marriage having taken place. There might be a question raised as to the validit yof the English marriages, and it was for the prisoner to make out, if he can, that he had another wife living when he married Emma Hoy. If he set up such a plea, :and askei for a post ponement, the Court would detain him..—The prisoner was then committed to Newgate to take his trial at the next ses sions of the Central Criminal Court. 11' ORS HIP-STR E ET. DISTRESSING CASE.—Two scantily-clad, but clean and modest looking young women, of the apparent ages of 16 a n d 18 years, applied to Mr. Bingham, in great mental distre-s, fur his assistance under the following circumstances: — It appeared from the statement of the applicants, that about nine months since, their father, a journeyman carpenter named Mudd, while engaged in his business, had the mis fortune to meet with a dreadful accident, by which he sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and was com pelled to be removed to the hospital, where he had remained nearly ever since. In consequence of the unfortunate occurrence, the family had been reduced to the greatest dis tress, which the applicants had endeavoured to alleviate by their labours at ribbon-weaving, but that description of work was so badly remunerated, that, by their joint and united exertions, they were unable to earn more than Bs. a week, out of which, besides their own support, they had to maintain their mother, who was deaf and dumb, and incapable of obtaining a provision. By the exercise of the strictest economy, they had contrived to .truggle on without assistance until Monday last, when their father was unexpectedly sent home from the hospital, so little improved in health, that they were obliged to place him in the only bed they possessed, being confined, through their straitened means, to one apartment. Being now reduced to complete destitution, having had no bed to sleep on for the last three nights, they applied to Mr. Attrill, the relieving officer of Spitalfields, to induce him to take their father into the work house, and enable them still to support themselves and mo her ; but that person would only accede to their request on the con dition that their mother should also be removed ; and, as the latter expressed an insuperable objection to enter the work house, they were reluctantly obliged to solicit the interference of the magistrate in their behalf. Several of the officers attached to the Court bore testimony to the moral and industrious habits of the young w omen, who had been the sole support of th eir mother for a ong trite past, although she was a person of violent and ungovernable temper, and had made a very ungrateful return for their constant and affectionate solicitude. Mr. BINGHAU said the applicants were certainly deserving of great commisseration, and that, although the relieving officer had acted strictly according to the letter of the law, in refusing to admit one parent unless accompanied by the other, yet he consiilered he would have been perfectly justified in making an exception in this ease, and he should, therefore, direct one of the officers to call upon him, and request that the desired assistance might be af n ded. The magistrate then ordered the usher to hand the appli cants 10s. from the poor-box for the relief of their immediate necessities, and the poor girls expressed the most grateful acknowledgments for the gratuity. WANDSWORTH. lExciste Paosscunows.—Thursday Mr. Henry Rundle the supervisor of Excise for the Brentford district, attended this Court to prefer informations against several licensed victuallers, for selling spirits, beer, and tobacco at a fair recently held at Barnes, the said fair not being a statute or chartered fair or place recognised by Act of Parliament, at which innkeepers can vend their commodities. The supervisor stated that, in consequence of instructions received from the Commissioners of her Majesty's Excise, he went, on the 14th ofJ uly last, with several of his offi , :ers, to a fair then holding on a piece of waste ground abutting upon the Hammersmith New-road, in the parish of Barnes. He found several drinking-booths erected, at which exciseable articles were being sold, the said booths being kept by publicans. They had no license empowering them to sell at this place, and he directed such purchases to be made as would ensure evi dence of a sale having been e&cted. The defendants were fined in sums from 121. 10s. to 25/. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR RINGLEY.—COURAGE O US• CONDUCT OF A CRIPPLE.—On Wednesday afternoon last, as two little girls were playing on the bank of the river Irwell, near Ringley, one of them, named Alice Cumberbirch, aged two years, fell into the stream, which was then running very strong. A poor cripple, named John Tong e, about 18 years old, was with a cart on the opposite side of the river, and saw the child fall in. Two men were with him, and he urged them to go into the water to the child's assistance ; but they said that they were strangers to: the river and dared not. Totige then released the chain-horse from the cart, mounted the animal, galloped into the water, and had got within twenty yards of the child , as it was floating along with the current, when the horse's feet became entangled in the chains and the animal was thrown down, and Tonge with it. He was under the water, but recovered and immediately groped for the horse's head, an on finding it raised it above the water ; but was compelled to remain with it to prevent it being drowned, the water being deep there, covering the animal's legs. The cry that Tonge and the horse were drowning brought many persons to the place, and some went into the water to his assistance; hut, without considering his own posi.ion, Tonge cried out, " Follow the child ; follow the child." Cn thte, several persons ran down the river side, and about 200 yards from where the child had fallen in, a man named Ellis Hollows jumped in and brought it out, but life was extinct, between ten minutes anti a quarter of an hour having elapsed before the child was E I OI, lot. An inquest was held on the following day before Mr. flutter, when a verdict of accidental death was returned. The jury expressed in the highest terms their sense of the great intrepidity and praisewetthy courage of Tonge, and requested the coroner to recommend him to the considera tion of the Manchester and Salford Humane Society ; as, but for the horse becoming entangled in the chains, the bt ave fellow would in all probability have saved the child. We believe the Humane Society have awarded a guinea to Hol lows who recovered the body, and have ordered a reward to be presented to Tonge.—Manchester Guardian. EaSTBOURNE.—The weather has been delightrui theduring and the harvest is proceeding rapidly. neighbourhoodln this the corn is very fine ; thejonly cry now pastweek, appears to be about potatoes, which have suffered greatly from the deluging rains.

COPPER MINE IN SOMERSETSHIRE.—An undertak ing has lately been entered upon which promises to be of im portance to the interests of Taun' on. It has been long thought that the Broomfield Hills are a copper district, and the person who has chiefly directed attention to this is Andrew Crosse, Esq. A number of men, some of whom are from Cornwall, have been for some weeks at work, sinking, or rather re-open ing a shaft and driving an adit, which was many years ag o com menced by Mr. Crosse. Within these few days, the miners have come on a fine copper lode, at the very trifling depth of 40feet— a circumstance very unusual even in Cornwa l l , where better appea rances are somet i mes no t seen at a less depth than from 1,000 to e. l 2,000 feet, and there is every is n ddto e indication e th r a e t e t t he lode will turn o u t t o b e a rich ona steam engine ; and more miners are to be forthwith brought to the place of action,night. where th e y wor k d ay an d Should it turn out to be what it promise s , it must necessarily add e Flyi n g l a rgely to the fortune of Mr. Crosse.

SOUTH WARK ELECTION. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. On Thursday - a meeting of about 500 electors and in habitants of this borough took place at the Catherine Wheel Inn, Iligh-street, bouthwark, to promote the election of Mr. Miall, and receive his address. Sevtral of the fair se x g ra c ed the g aller y o pp osite the platform, and joined heartily in the bursts of ap plause occasioned by any happy remark made oy the speakers. Mr. \EBB was unanimously called to the chair, and the usual manner briefly opened the proceedings of the evening. Mr. MIALL then rose, and, in commencing his address, observed that he was glad to hear that a contradic• Lion had been given to the report that the public houses were opened free to the supporters of Sir William Molesworth. Ireland was, however, the ques tion of the most importance at present. Ireland had all the capabilities of becoming a brave and important nation ; and those who knew anything of her resources must be aware that she had in her the germs of great ness. How was it then that she was in her present miserable condition, and why was her continual cry for repeal? Simply because she had been oppressed and de graded from time immemorial by her rulers; and until those injuries had been redressed, Ireland would ever continue poor and miserable.—(Much noise and dis order.) The Maynooth Bill had been brought forward by the Ministry, because they would not do justice to Ireland ; because they wished to detach the priests from the people, and drive them to be upon the side of their oppressors. —(Cheers.) That was the real secret of the new policy that had been introduced by the Government. It was brought forward to obviate the necessity of doing right, for to do right would cost them much of that substance which hitherto they had pocketed from the sources of the peo ple, and so they had administered their opiate of the Maynooth Bill. It was not a question which merely affected the progress of religion, but it was one which vitally affected the very principle of civil government it self. If they did justice to the peeple, they would not want paid priests to keep them down.—(Great cheer ing.) And it they did not have justice, they must have either the policeman or the priest.—(Cheers.) The spirit of Irishmen had grown above the power of the police, and knew well how to conduct their agitations within the boundaries of the law, and set at defiance all the opposition brought against them by Government. The new ecclesiastical policy now just in its dawn was brought forward to substitute the Ministry in the place of the police, to carry out the designs of the aristocracy, and, if possible, to keep the people in ignorance, in order that they might be contented slaves. The simple question which was put to the electors of the Borough on this occasion was, whether such policy was to succeed or tail ? Were the Ministry to go forward, helped as they were by W bigs and. Whig-Radicals, and those Tories ? —(Cheers.) They called that Maynooth Endowment Bill a partial instalment of justice to Ireland ; they well knew that it was not an instalment, but merely a substi tute for justice. It was intended to obviate the necessity is!' doing justice, and every man who would give his vote for the carrying out of this Bill, every such man must be altogether ignorant or indifferent to the civil liberties of his country. They should look upon this question as if they were all concerned in it, for it came home to all. It was a question which was just then in the seed, and might be crushed fee- ever ; but let it grow, it would ex pand and produce its bitter fruits, and all the agitation which might be raised against it would be insufficient to put it down. Now was their time to strike a blow for liberty.—(Cheers and noise and disturbance a hich lasted for some time). The Hon. Gentleman continued—He believed that the meeting were convinced of the importance of the question at issue at the present moment, and he thought that the present was the most critical time.—(Great noise—continued interruption.) The labouring classes well understood any political question that was properly laid before them, and knew what was consistent with common sense, aonesty, and justice. The decision of this election could be of great importance with regard to the May 'tooth grant, but he was never afraid of putting any luestion to the popular suffrage. The gentlemen whom he addressed were fully acquainted with his poli deal sentiments upon all the topice which now agitated :he public mind ; he would not, therefore, detain the meet ng by an exposition of them. In conclusion, the Hon. Gen leman observed that, from the return made by the can vassers, if the electors would but press forward, which he knew they were inclined to do, the victory would be theirs. %Ir. Miall then sat down amidst immense cheering. Mr. Izon then moved the resolution in support of Mr. \Hall's claims, and, in doing so, observed that to his ';nowledge there were many gentlemen that signed the quisition for Sir William Molesworth who were not .ware that Mr. Miall was coming forward ; he would, refore, advise them to make haste and retrace their .teps, and send to Parliament a better representative han the Hon. Baronet, in the person Mr. Miall. Mr. Joux Day seconded the resolution, and after the neeting had been addressed by Dr. Price and several ethers, it was put and carried by a large majority. Three cheers, with a mixture of groans and hisses, sere then given for and the tumultuous assem '4lage, titer lingering for a while in the yard, was at ergth broken up. DESPERATE SUICIDE OF A YOUNG GENTLEMAN. On Thursday afternoon, at three o'clock, a long inquiry was opened before Air. G. 1. 11111 s, Deputy-Coroner for Middlesex, and a jury, at the Marquis of Hastings, Ossulston•street, Somers-town, on the body of a gent l eman a t pr ese nt un known, who committed self_destruction under the very sin gular and unaccountable circumstances subjoined. Harriet Ala) ne said she lodged at 26, Aldenham-street, which house was kept by a female named Bryan. Shortly after twelve o'clock on the night of Tuesday last, she met de ceased, whom site had never se en b e f ore , a t a concert at the ieeady, in Bow-street, w h ere s h e p ar t oo k of a part of with him and a ta ll young gen tleman, his atGrieaprinrnclitc.ko'f' sllirr The deceased told her he had previously been to Evans's Grand Hotel, and , had p ar t a k en o f t w o bottles of wine and some rum punch. Shortly before three o'clock on Wed nesday moining the , deceas e d bid his friend good bye, left the Garrick 's Head, a nd accompanied wit ntZelln:ltnsd ay a a .'fatb to her re s id ence. A t two o ' c l oc k on ernoon she invited him to pat take of breakfa t, but he refused, and said h e would rather have a glass of wine. H e gave witnes s half-a-crown to send for a pint of sherry, and on her calling Margaret. Bryan. the land lady's daughter , to g o for it, deceased added, tt Stay, I will I t ' o en send a to some c h em i s t , g i v i ng h er 2 s . to pro 'dit ink, and wrote a prescr i pt i on i n L a ti n , send fur someth in g else that will do me good." Deceased then ( t a , e s u l k r l e i , n d r y t f ihe r for Margaret Bryan went t o t h e s h op o f M r . Wakefield. and on her return with the wine, said that Mr. Wakefield said he had not got any, and that it was poison. Witness told de ceased, who said, ":\iansense, it is no s u c h thing ; it is only to eanrl,iyaennopspirits; send t o anot h er d oc t or ." Margaret then went low to the shop of Mr. Rentmore, in Clarendon square, and bro u g ht back a phial about three-parts full of stuff smelling like almonds. Deceased was then lying on the sofa in the parlour, and appeared very . cheerful. Witness left him to get her breakf ast, leaving the ph ial and the wine on the table. She returned in about five minutes, and on ente:ing the room ,sked the decea.ed how he was? H e replied he felt better, but his stoma ch began to pain him.. At that moment he turned over on the sofa and appeared fainting, and made a gurgling noise in the throat. She called for water, and sent for a doctor. AI r. W a ks field came and s aid he was dead, and had taken poison. By the CORONER —T had never seen d ec eased before. I had not the slightest idea that he had sent for poison ; and intended to have taken a portion of what he sent for had he left any, as he said it was for low spirits. I should say he was not more than 20 years of age. When alive he appeared of r a ther sallow complexion, and has dark brown hair. His dress consists of a black frock coat, black satin waistcoat, la vender-coloured striped trousers with straps, the whole quite new ; a hlue striped silk neck handkerchief, white stockings, yellov• kid gloves , and short o a new hat, maker's name " Townsend, Cheapside and Regent-street." lie had with him a small yellow stick with the handle much bitten, and his linen was marked "G. Oldfield, junior." On his per sen were found two handkerchie fs, one white muslin, with the name " G. Oldfield" on it, the other silk ; a cigar case, a green purse studded with steel beads and tassels, with 2s. in it ; and on his finger a gold ring w ith a green stone. Deceased did not give witness any other money than for the wine and the stuff. Margaret Bryan proved having gone with the prescription first to the shop of Mr. Wakefield and then to that of Mr. Rentmore, where she procured the stuff for deceased, and paid Is. 9d. for it, and that she was served by a young man, DD Rentmore's brother. The witness having identifie d the prescription, The Derury CORONER said it was in Latin, and was " half an ounce hydrocyanic acid," and at the bottom was written " For flavouring sou; s," Mr. Wakefield proved that when he was called to see de ceased he was quite dead. The DEPUTY Coawir it animadverted on any chemist selling and was signed" G. 0." so large a quantity of poison to a stranger, and called open Mr. Rent more for an explanation. v ed it, said he understood that Mr. Rentmore, jun., who see the girl who fetched the poison came fro the pastrycook's in Seymour-street, and knowing oil of almonds was used in the trade, he served it. The DEPUTY CORONER said the circumstances of the case were so strange, although there was no reason to believe that the witness Mayne had connived at the d e poisoning him self, that he felt it necessary to adjourn the inquiry for further evidence, and to have the body opened. The inquiry was ultimately adjourned till Monday next, and after the post morlon examination the body will be removed to St. Pancras Workhouse for identity. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 4, 1845 —Letters have been received here from the squadron at Cork. lay them we learn that the Admiral, whose efficiency was so much praised by the Tory Lords of the Admiralty, and who was selected by them to take the command of the squ adron in p reference to that active officer 'i r Ch ar l e s Napier, ha d been confined to his bed for twody-f re days. A worse appointment could not have been made. Admiral Parker's temper and health rendered him totally unfit for so trying a post. ft is to be hoped in the next session that the matter will be fully inquired into. The Vanguard's being so much behind the rest of the squadron does not excite much surprise here , as her trim has been com pletely altered, arid not that which was suggested by her gal lant and experienced commander. Tne ships, after refitting at Cork, will put to sea on another cruise. On Tuesday Captain Sir T. Hastings took a most affecting farewell of the officers and men of the Excellent, whom he handed over to Captain Chads, the, new captain of her. We will venturo to say a better officer and kinder hearted man than Captain Chads could not be found in the service, and he has already removed some of the unnecessarily strict regulations laid down by his predecessor. ROBBERY OF THE LEAMINGTON AND WARWICK BANK. On the 4th of July a parcel, containing one hundred 101. local notes, was stolen at the Leamington and War wick banking-house, in Leamington, and it was some days afterwards ascertained that William henry Blaney, one of the clerks of the establishment, had appropriated the stolen property. A warrant was granted by the Leamington magistrates to apprehend the accused, and indorsed by the Lord Mayor, and Daniel Forrester was employer'. by Messrs. Bush and Muffins, solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, to trace the delinquent and take him into custody. Forrester and Superintendee' ll, hy. of Lea mington, succeeded in getting the aZ:cused into their clutches at Calais on Tuesday last, and he now is in prison there, to be disposed of according to the judgment of the French authorities, from whom the officers re ceived every possible assistance short of his removal from that country. The following statements were made by one of the clerks in the bank, by the brother of the accused, and by the accused himself, who subsequently absconded, before the inagistrAtes, at Leamington : Mr. E. B. Wynne said, that on Friday, the 4th July, he made up two parcels, o-e containing 1,500/., in 51. notes of the Warwick and Leamington Banking Com pa-y, and 1,0001. in 101. not. s. Having counted the notes, the numbers of which were entered in the note book, he direr ed both the parcels to Francis Smith, Southam, and placed them about twelve o'clock on the mantel-piece. About five o'clock he placed them, with a London parcel and ten other letters, on the desk of the accused, with 3s. 4d. to pay the postage, and never ha seen them since. W. 11. Blaney, the accused, said tint about half-past seven o'clock in the evening he took off his desk three parcels and 10 letters, and the money to pay the postage. He then went straight down to the post-office, having placed the parcels and letter in his left-hand coat pocket behind. He went slow, and spoke to nobody on the way, and at a quarter before eight he delivered the parcels into the hands of the person who officiated at the window, and put the letters into the letter-box. He did not know what money he paid, nor to whom the parcels were directed, but he concluded they contained money. After having deposited the parcels he took a walk for about half a mile, and then went home. The brother of the accused said the house in which he believed the missing parcel lay was in the city of London. He received that information from a person who appeared to him to possess a knowledge of the loss of the notes, and of the spot in which they were deposited ; and who mentioned to him that the notes were intended to be passed through several hands be fore they were to be presented for payment ; that they. were first to go to a firm in France, then to Hamburgh, then to Russia, and then to London for presentation. The houses through which they were to be passed were first-rate houses. The witness first saw the person who gave him the intelligence about three weeks ago in I.on don. Thai person first commenced a conversation about the notes, and appeared to be acquainted with the cir cumstances, and witness endeavoured to obtain informa tion from him, and at last was told by him that the notes were in the City of London, and would be presented to wards the end of October. The witness had not seen the accused since the 16th of July. It appeared that the accused, soon after the day last mentioned by his brother, absconded. He was traced with extraordinary skill from place to place by Daniel Forrester and Superintendent Roby, till they appre hended biro at Calais ; but whether the French authori ties intend to give him up to the custody of the English officers, to be removed for trial to this country, has not been ascertained. DEALINGS WITH THE DEVIL One of those absurd cases arising out of pretended dealings with the Devil became the subject of a trial, three days ago, before the Tribunal of Correctional I'o lice at Beauvais (Oise), which was unusually interesting, from a priest being involved as an accomplice in the fraud. The following is a summary of the facts as they came out at the hearing:—Naguet, a shepherd, in the service of a farmer named Luce, in the neighbourhood of Beauvais, offered his master to show him the Devil, and compel him to double any sum of money he would bring into the conjuration. Luce, half believing and half doubting, consulted the Abbe Mouchet, who was the curate of a chapel of ease at Boutincourt, who told him that it was possible, and agreed to join him in the spell, which was commenced by this worthy son of the Church with reading for nine successive nights a species of in cantation out of a red book. The curate sent his ser vant to buy a goat's kid, which was slain, its skin being formed into a magic circle, and its blood used to sign a compact with Satan, which the curate had written on a skin of parchment. The Abbe also had two wax tapers melted by two young girls, and with the wax and a stone which he called ematille he drew a wider circle, and, placing himself at the centre, called up Lucifer from the vasty deep. But, as Lucifer refused to come, Naguet exclaimed, Bahl you manage this badly ; I must apply to an as sociate who knows better how to proceed. This asso ciate, whose name was Bigny, came. The nine incan tations were repeate 1 by him, and wh an they were finished it was ag reed that they should all meet at a place called the Croix Blanche, at midnight, each bringing a sum of money, and, having deposited it in the earth, they were again to invoke the Devil. At the appointed time they met, Luce bringing a bag contain ing 1,500 f., the curate another, in which he said were -150 f., and Naguet a pocket-handerchief, in which be said there were 600 f., but in which, according to a declara tion made by Bigny, there were no more than 10f. in cop per money. Bigny was to be the receiver, and the Abbe to be the depositor ; but Bigny insisted that each should come separately to the spot and deliver his deposit. Naguet came first, and gave his handkerchief to Bigny, who handed it to the curate. Luce came next with his 1,500 f., and delivered the bag to Bigny, who on receiv ing it whispered to him mysteriously, " Go back again, but on no account look behind you, for if you do the Devil will be enraged, seize you, and tear you to piece s." Luce went away trembling in every limb with terror. Days passed away, and Luce heard nothing more of his money. On applying to Naguet, he was told that, to induce the Devil to bring back the money, not only a second incantation must be made, but double the sums must be brought. This, together with an inti mation which he received that Naguet and Bigny had been boasting that they had taken him in, in duced Luce to lay an information before the magistrate. The Abbe contrived to make his escape, but the two other rogues were arrested. The Abbe was therefore condemned by default to five years' imprisonment ; Bigny, who had before been in the hands of justice, to the same punishment ; and Naguet to imprisonment for ,wo years.— Galignani. THE ATTACK ON MADAGASCA (From the Paris Constitutionnel.) We have given, from the Cerneen of the Mauritins, the details of a descent effected at Tamatave, on the eastern coast of Madagascar, by the crews of three vessels, one English and two French. The object of this expedition was to take on board the French and English residents, whom the Queen of the Ovas wished to force to have themselves naturalised. The result is known. The forces of the two nations marched on Tamatave with the emulation and courage that were to be expected from them. But they had to deal with an enemy not less courageous, trained to war in long intestine contests, and formed to discipline. Tamatave was armed with cannons, and well defended by the Ovas. Our troops were received with a formidable fire, which killed seventeen French sailors and four English. They could not get farther than the outer wall, where they placed their colours. The Malgaches remained impregnable in their redoubt, which was constructed according to the European fashion, and it was found necessary to give way before them and re-embark. If the European residents at Ta matave were afterwards relieved from their awkward position, and part of their property saved, it is not less true that a fresh blow has been given to European influence In the island of Madagascar. An expedition thus conducted and terminated so deplorably cannot but puff up the Queen of the Ovas, and dispose her to treat the Europeans with still less consideration. We do not know exactly how the expedition Iwas organised. The Cerneen says that the troops which landed were under the direction of a captain and a lieutenant. Which was the English and which the French ? Had the plan of attack been discussed and decided on in concert ? Or rather was there a plan of attack? Were not the French and English , satisfied with proceeding in two bands not very cordially inclined, the one not dis posed to obey the other, and were they not the victims of the blind policy which pursues in all parts of the world the chime rical notion of the entente cordia!e ? It will not be possible to resolve all these questions until we shall have obtained new de tails, but it is impossible not to be struck at present with the disproportion in the loss sustained by the two forces. By what concatenation of circumstances did it come to pass that the English only lost 4 men, and the French 17 ? Were the num bers of the troops as 17 to 4? Why this disproportion? Why should not the English have supported at least half the cost and half the risk of this enterprise? Were there not at Madagascar as many English subjects as French ones? The inhabitants of the Mauritius, as well as those of Bourban, are in the habit of procuring rice and cattle on the coast of Madagascar. These ar ticles are wanting in the two colonies, which are obliged to seek them sometimes at Zanzibar, sometimes in India, at Calcutta, Madras, or even at Singapore. The contiguityof Madagascar offers both colonies the most convenient and advantageous market; and the continual vexations to which the purchasers are ex posed by the Queen of the Ovae affect English subjects not less than those of France. This expedition does but little honour to the Governor of Bourbon, who may be reproached with not having collected sufficient information as to the forces and means of defence of the Ovas. It is by such inconsiderate conduct that the agents of the Government too often com promise the renown of France and the life of our soldiers ; and this arises frequently from the Government agents being much more occupied with the ca-e of not displeasing the Govern ment at home, than of bringing to a good end the enterprises which they direct. We would willingly wager that, in this last affair, the Governor of Bourbon has been more gravely occupied with the desire of bringing to a happy termination the negotiation opened with the Governor of the Mauritius to act in common, than with the thought of making the expedition successful. The fact is that it has failed ; it is in vain to dissemble it. It terminated by a retreat far too hasty. The policy of the Marquesas has not been for some time triumphant. At Basilan, at the Marquesas, Otaheite, and Madagascar, it scatters atraut deaths, and obtains in return only very questionable victories. A new expedition, will, it is said, be soon directed against Tamatave. Let us hope that this time the local government will take its measures better. To obtain information on the elements of defence which the Malgaches possess, the Governor of Bou r b on has onl y to apply to the Go vernor of the Mauritius. It is by the agency of this latter per sonage that England has furnished the Ovas with cannons, muskets, ammunition, and Instructors ; it is England which hat given the design of the Malgache redoubts. The least she can do is to communicate to us the state of all the means of destruc tion which she has furnished, now that we interfere for her in terest at least as much as our own. TAE WEATHER AND lIARVEST. Since Sunday the weather has turned gloomy and col d again, though we have not had a uch rain. A gnat portion of the corn has been cut, but the major part was in an unripe state. The crops in parts of the neighbourhood are about an average, but there are other parts where the wheat has sustained much damage from the severity of the summer. The potato crop has also suffered serious injury. The few .bright and warm days we had last week gave promise of effecting much good, but the weather has since been so unfavourable that great fears are now entertained for the results of the harvest — Cambridge Advertiser.
