PROSECUTIONS UNDER LORD • • ASHLEY'S ACT. families, that it should not be persisted in. This opinion is now very generally entertained over the country, and the employment of female labour below ground has, for a considerable time past, been abandoned at almost every colliery throughout the kingdom, excepting at Clackmannan ; and it is a disgsace to this county, and I feel it to be so, that such a degrading practice has been persisted in there for such a length of time, in the face of an express Act of the Legislature. Under the Act the oversmen and workmen can only be brought to trial after the judge has satisfied himself that the of fences have been committed without the consent, con• currence, or knowledge of the owner. From the pre liminary investigation whiah was made in the present cases, I am bound to believe that the offences were committed without the consent, concurrence, or know ledge of the owner or manager. lam nevertheless, satisfied, however, that the practice would immediately be put an end to, if the owners or managers fairly set their faces against it, and made a bond fide effort to stop it. Something more than merely not giving their con sent or concurrence is required at the hands of the I owner or manager. There is a moral as well as a legal obligation on them to further the beneficent intentions of the Legislature, by exerting themselves to put an end to the practice—and if they do exert themselves, I am satisfied they will succeed, as has been the case at all other collieries where the, attempt has been fairly made. The present proceedings will have the effect, I trust, of showing both the colliers and their masters that the authorities are determined to carry the provisions of the Act into effect, and I would hope that the practice of employing females below ground will now be put a stop to in this district, and that there will be no necessity in future for any proceedings of a similar nature."—Edin burgh Advertiser,. DEAD AMLI liT r. OF THE PRIZE CATTLE. The EIGHTH ANNUAL RETURN of the BUT- C HERE', ' PORK BUTCHERS', and POULTER • ERS' CHRISTMAS EXHIBITIONS throughout the METROPOLIS and its ENVIRONS ; with the Dead Weights of the Beasts, &c„ for 1845. THE MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.-There was a very limited supply of stock of every description on Monday last, and a slack demand. What tariff beasts and sheep were present went off at profitable prices, but the market was nothing. like cleared at three o'clock P.M. LEADENITALL.-This mart was exceedingly heavily stocked with every description of meat. The; premises of the Messrs. Lee formed a perfect bazaar in them selves. Their stock was prodigious, and excellent in appearance thisiilghout: In the poultry department there was a more than ordinary large supply. Some good samples of turkeys - and capons .were exhibited, which went off to the West-end poulterers. NENVGATE.-A copious stock of meat of all kinds some very superiois• some very indifferent samples: There was a good stirring business doing here, both throughout Monday and Tuesday,. more especially arnong those butchers who were backward in buying live stock out of Smithfield on account 'of' the unfavourable state of the weather. The - poultry market was glatted, and some extensive bargains were effected- in geese, to supply the. numerous goose clubs established throughout the metropolis. . FARRINGDON.-This market wee very limited in stock, and appeared exceedingly dull There was' nevertheless a fair show of meat, but it did not attract. - • . BUTCHERS. • Mr. Thomas Slater,' High-street, Kensington, pur veyor to her Majesty and the Royal Family-This gen tleman's premises exceeded, for the vast quantities of meat exhibited 'upon them, anything we ever beheld , in one shop, indeed they constituted a market in them- ' selves, and were the admiration of every one. His stock was not only extensive, but choice, and his beef and mutton was very superior. To attempt to itemise the, same would take up more room • than we can spare, but the following are a few of his more • choice samples :- Among the oxen we' noticed first, a remarkable beast fed by his Grace the Dyke of Bedford, of the Hereford breed, which was classed in the late Smithfield Club Cattle Show under Class 2, No. 23. The meat was extremely firm, and the grain, particularly fine; 'its dead weight was 183 st. 21b.; and it carried with it 25st. 11b. of loose fat. Under class 1, No. 12, was &leo a Hereford ox, fed by Mr. Steed, a very well-contrived beast, and well wrought up throughout; the dead weight was 209 st. 61b., and he carried 17st. of loose fat. There was also another Hereford ox, fed by the same gentleman, under class 2, No. 24, not yet weighed; also a Highland Scot, fed by Mr. Clark, weighing 132 st. 21b., carryine. 18st. of loose fat ; also an extra stock ox, fed by th e b same gentleman, weighing 129 st. 51b., carrying list. 41b. of loose fat. Two Herefords of Mr. Bridge's, weighing last., and carrying 22st. 21b. of loose fat ; the other weighing 133 st 71b., and yielding 24st of loose fat. Seven remarkably fine Hereford beasts, purchased by Mr. Slater from his Grace the Duke of Devon shire, which were samples of excellence in the carcase ; and in addition to the preceding stock were thirteen sur prisingly fine beasts, purchased from the Duke of Bed ford. Among the sheep we observed three very entire and compact Southdown wethers of the Duke of Bed ford's stock, under class 13, No. 123. aged twenty-one months, the respective weights of which were 12st. 41b., 13st. 71b., and lost. 41b., with 161 b. of loose fat to each ; also three Southdown wethers, forming a part of the Duke of Bedford's stock, under class 15, No. 140 ; re spective weights 15st. 31b., 15st. 11b., and 16st. 11b.„ with 161 b. of fat in each. Here were in addition to the above three very remarkable sheep (Southdowns) fed by D. Barclay, Esq., M.P., classed under 13, No. 122, which obtained a prize of 51., not weighed ; and an extra-stock sheep, fed by the same gentleman, being 144 ; and another lot of three in - number, under class 14. Among Mr. Slater's extensive stock, samples were to be observed, under class 13, Ne. 124, three very well contrived Southdown wethers, fed by the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke, of. Saffron. Walden, the respec tive weights of which were 15st., 15st. 21b., and 16st. 51b. ; also an extra-stock sheep, fed by the same noble man, numbered 146, dead weight 16st. 41b.,. with 1811 b. of fat. Under class 14, No. 135, were three clever Southdowns, fed by the Hon. General Harrison, dead weights respectively 12st. 61b., 13st. 31b., and 13st. 41b. ; with 16f1b. of loose fat. Further, there were three admirable unequalled Southdowns, fed by Mr. Webb, of Babraham, near Cambridge, being under class 14, No. 138, which were not weighed. In addition to the above, there was a very extensive supply of exces sively fine meat, both beef and mutton. Suck a Christ mas exhibition as Mr. Slater's has not been witnessed in or near London for many years. Mr. Thomas Slater, purveyor to her Majesty, &c., Jermyn-street. St. James's-There was, as far as the premises would admit, as heavy a stock as was noticed in the foregoing, and the meat was of the very best quality, participating chiefly in the classed meat we have previously named as having been observed on his pre mises. Here was a particularly fine calf of Mr. Mayd well's feeding, which was unrivalled for symmetry, this year. Mr. W. Giblet, purveyor to her Majesty, New Bond street-There was no prize meat on these premises, but there was an admirable show of Christmas beef and Down mutton ; among the latter, eleven of the Duke of Rich mond's Southdown sheep, which were classed in the cattle show. We called on Mr. Bannister, purveyor to her Majesty, Threadneedle-street, too late to admit of our itemising his extensive and most interesting * stock, including his Royal Highness Prince Albert's prize ox. His exhibi tion reflected much credit upon him, and did honour to the City of London. Mr. Armfiled, purveyor to her Majesty, Brook-street, Grosvenor -square-These premises were well stocked, I and the meat looked bond fide good. Here we noticed ten admirably:contrived and well conditioned Hereford beasts, averaging in weight 130 stone; also an old Kent wether and a remarkable Southdown, bred and fed by Mr. Cook, of Welling, in Kent, the separate weights of which were 21 and 21i stone each. There was also a very handsome calf, 25 stone, and thirty superior South downs, averaging 12i stone each. Messrs. Collingwood, Lamb's Conduit-street, and Westbonin-street, Paddington-On these gentlemen's premises we had occasion to notice a noble ox, of the Hereford breed, recognised in the Smithfield Club Cat tle Show of the present year under Class 1, No.-10. This beast obtained a silver medal for .the feeder, Mr. Laylor, of Thorney Abbey, near Peterborough, also a prize of 20 soya. The same animal obtained a gold medal for his owner at the Peterborough Cattle Show, and a golden tankard at the Leicester Show. His age was 4 years and 8 months. This bullock died wonder fully ripe, and was perfect in every point. His dead weight was 2155 t., and he carried with him 16,31 b. of loose fat. Here was also a fine Devon ox, classed in the show as (4) No. 41. Bred and fed by Mr. T. Turner, of Barton, near Exeter, aged 3 years and 7 months, weighing 140 st. ; besides five extra Hereford and three Devon beasts, 130 st. each, on an average. We also noticed in these premises three extraordinary South down wethers, fed by Mr. Russell, of Orton, in Kent, weighing 20, 21, and 2 list. each. This shop was equal to any. in London fur quantity, quality, and arrange ment of stock. Mr. Allen, South Audley-street-A most admirable display of the very best beef and mutton, the same on a very extensive scale. This gentleman's stock could n be surpassed for excellence throughout the metropolis. Mr. Ford, Kenton-street, Brunswick -square-Stock heavy and truly good. Here we had occasion to notice under class 4, No. 40, a horned Aberdeen ox, bred by the late Mr. Thomas Elmslie, of Pitmeddin, near Aber deen, and fed by Mr. James Stewart, of Aberdeen ; it was three years and eight months and a half, and weighed 135 st. Mr. Watling, Marchmont-street, Brunswick-square- A very noble, bold display ; among the stock we ob served two excellent specimens of Mr. Cook's feeding, consisting of the Old Kent breed of sheep ; they were matchless samples in the London market of this year, respective weights 2list. and 22st. Here was also a Southdown, fed by Mi. Cook, of Welling, the weight of which was 19st. 2oz. Mr. Thomas Thurling, purveyor to the Honourable Societies of Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, and Staples Inn -Every feature on these premises was in perfect keep ing with the respectability of the establishment. The stock was extensive and excellent throughout. Mr. Shirley, Upper King-street, Bloomsbury--One of the most imposing exhibitions of Christmas fare through. LAW FIRE INSURANCE SOCIETY.

BETTS and CO.), Patent Brandy Distiller, 7, Smithfield Bars, feels it due to himself and the public to state, that the Manufacture of the PATENT BRANDY was not, and never has- been known to any person except to himself and one of his sons. And that he was suceeeded in the business of the Dis tillery, 7, Smithfield Bari, by his sons, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO., on his retiring therefrom, in 1843. Mr. BETTS further states, that he is the sole Patentee, manufac turer, and vendor of the Metallic Capsule, (or solid metal covering for the mouths of betties), that no other Brandy in England, except BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, is thereby protected; the Patent Metallic Capsule if, therefore, applied to -Any other Brandy, must have been surreptitiously obtained.

Various objections were stated to the relevancy of the complaint by the agents for the pri soners, which were all repelled by the Sheriff. Fife, the oversman, and one of the workmen then pleaded guilty, and were fined in the minimum penalty of 51. each. The complaints in the other cases were not insisted in, the prosecutor remayking that he was of opinion that the ends of justice would be satisfied by the conviction of the oversman and the workman who had pleaded guilty.

" At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d day of December, 1845, " Itwas resolved, —That proceedings at law having been threatened In various railway matters, it is very desirable that, with a view to the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the legal liabilities of committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for shares; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various railway projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi dual responsibility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of parties who arc interested in these objects." WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair. The names of numerous persons desirous of co-operating having been given in— It was unimously resolved,—That with a view to the accomplish ment of the forego.ng purposes, a Society be now formed, to be called " The Railway Mutual Protection Society." That the rules and regulations for the support and government of the Society now read, be approved and adopted. And it was ordered that the same be printed for distribution, and that Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores, of Throgmorton•street, the solicitors of the Society, be authorised to furnish copies thereof to applicants ; and That persons proposing to become members of the Society, are re quested to send their names and addresses to tile solicitors. Upon the motion of Sir WILLIAM LOWTHORP, it Was unanimously resolved— That Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., be appointed President of the Society, and that the thanks, of the country are due to him for hav ing originated this important undertaking. That the thanks of this meeting be given to William Collins, Esq., M.P., for his attendance, and for the able manner in which he has presided. .M . ,, , kRUS TRAVERS, Secretary pro tern.. _RAILWAY MUTUAL PROTECTION This Society is a voluntary association 'of persons interested in the sticess arid‘j inistration of railways ; and especially for ascertaining •th. tate of the law as affecting the rights and liabilities of tilt • ; ,ed with railways and railway projects.

It is therefore agreed that a fund shall be, provided by subscription, and that the following rules and regulations shall be binding upon the members of the Society. That a Committee of seven persons, including the President, to be called the Council, shall be appointed to conduct the business of the Society. That a president shall be appointed, whose sanction, with two of the Council, shall be necessary to all decisions touching the institution or defence of proceedings at law or in equity. That the Council shall consider the case of any member of the Society which may be brought before them, and shall advise whether any and what proceedings shall be taken, either at law, in equity, or otherwise, for the protection or assertion of the rights of such mem ber, and that all such proceedings as may be suggested by the Council shall be submitted to the solicitors of the Society. That, for the guidance of the C..uncil, and for the satisfaction of the members of the Society, the opinions of several counsel at the equity and common law bars shall be taken upon the various and most prominent questions which may affect the rights and liabilities of the subscribers and allottees of shares, as well as the Directors, Managing and Provisional Committeemen, of railways and railway projects. That the names of persons seeking to become members of the So ciety shall be submitted to the Council, who shall have the absolute power of admission.

That members who shall not renew their subscriptions on or before the Ist day of January, 1847, and so on from time te time,' on or before any succeeding Ist of January, shall cease to be members of the Society. That any subscriber who may desire to confide his own case to the Council of the Society, may do so in strict confidence, and if his case is one which the Council deem to be within the scope of the Society, may then have the option of requiring his interests to be censidered by the solicitors of the Company upon the payment to the funds of the Society of such further sum of money as may appear to the Coun cil appropriate and reasonable, or of placing the business in other bands upon his own responsibility.

Mr. Jeffery, Foubert-court, Regent-street—These ex tensive premises were most liberally stocked with the very best samples of meat of every description. We could not add more, when we say that they formed as ornament to the neighbourhood of their locality. Mr. Tucker, Long-acre—This highly-respectable shop was very admirably arranged, and there was a cleanli ness pervading the premises which we could not pass b y without observing. Mr. Johnston, Clare-street, Clare market—A very heavy stock, and the quality good throughout. Oa these premises we observed three remarkable Down sheep, fed by Mr. Wittenstall, of Langley Bury, Herts. They were greatly admired by good judges!! Their re spective weights were 17, 17k, and IS stone, - Messrs. Comfort, Farringdon-street—One of the best arranged shops in the City of London. The whole of the stock reflected the highest credit on the proprietors, and the beef, which was on an extensive scale, was equal to much that was prized in the Cattle Show of this year. Mr. Cowell, Chandos- street—An unusal heavy supply, and the stock very select. Here we observed a particu larly fine Durham beast, fed by Smith Owen, Esq., of Shrewsbury, weighing 190 stone 131 b. Too much cannot be advanced In praise of this animal; in condition it was unrivalled. Here were two remarkable Southdowns, 18 and 181 stone each, and a fine calf, 25 stone.

Mr. Tucker, Devonshire House, Strand—A very pic turesque display of Welsh and Dartmore mutton, which was in abundance. These premises were also heavily stocked with poultry and game. PORK BUTCHERS. Mr. Jackson, purveyor to her Majesty, South Audley street—These premises, as usual, were profusely stocked with every sample of excellence. The most striking feature exhibited on them was a most extraordinary pig, bred by Mr. Sampson; of Mount-pleasant, near Derby, and fed by Mr. Jackson, of Tutbury, Stafford, being eleven months old, and weighing 51 stone. It was fed on milk and barley-meal, and it was the subject of gene ral attraction throughout the town. It was acknowledged by the whole of -the trade who witnessed it_to have beer, for symmetry, size, and condition, the most extraordi nary animal of the kind that had ever been seen in the London market; and, indeed, it was a paradox in our own estimation. Here was also a very handsome pig of the Duke of Bedford's stock, weighing 25 stone, and other excellent samples. We also noticed ten extraor dinary chines, averaging 211b5., and a display of nests' tongues which were far beyond the usual size. ' Mr. Bell, Oxford-street—Here was. a very heavy supply of excellent meat. Among it we noticed a pig fed by the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey, which came out of the Bedford Christmas cattle show, 20 weeks old ; dead weight 22st. 21bs. Also an enormous hog fed by Mr. Smith, of Uxbridge, the dead weight of which was 70 stone. Mr. Hollis, 283, Oxford-street —Nothing came up to or near this shop throughput London. This Christmas season Mr. Hollis surpassed himself. Pork of all sizes, and suitable to all classes; of the finest quality, was ex hibited on this gentleman's premises 'in profusion. ?t was a most extraordinary picture ; a very poreine hecatomb. Among some very superior specimens of Mr. Hollis's own breeding and feeding, we noticed six which equalled many that were prized this year in the show. Here was an extra stock pig, No. 162, fed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert _at Windsor Park, being of the Beds and Suffolk breed. Dead weight, 32 stone. Mr. Wall,' purveyor to her Majesty, Jermyn-street, St. 'James's—On these premises we have occasion to notice three - pigs classed in the show in class 17, No. 462, of the Beds and Suffolk breed, fed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, 34 months and 1 day old, the dead weights of which were 20st., 20st. 61b., and 21st. 61b. respectively. Mr. Garland, Oxford-market—Stock exceedingly heavy and good. Here were six pigs of Mr. E. Whit field's, pigs which were classed in the show as 16, No. 161, fed by three gentlemen at Snaresbrook, in Essex, being 25 weeks and 1 day old, average weight of each 24st. ; also a very remarkable pig, forming a portion of extra stock in the show, No. 170, bred and fed by Y. Barnard, Esq., M.P., of Gosfield-hall, Essex, 65 weeks old. Dead weight, 65st. ; also, six clever pigs of Mr. Hobbs, of Marks-hall, near Kelvedon, Essex, 24 weeks and 3 days old. Dead weights, 235 t., 23st. 61b., and 24st. Mr. Wilcocks, Tottenham-court-road—Here was an unusual display of prime pig meat. Among the samples we observed under class 16, No. 60, three pigs, bred and fed by the Earl of Radnor, at Coleshill, Berks, 18 weeks, which gained the second prize of Si. to the fe eder; their respective weights were :-28st. 2lbs., 29st. 51bs., and 29st. 6lbs. ; also an extra stock Suffolk and Herts, fed by Mr. W. Poulten, of Hornsey, Middlesex, 29 weeks old, dead weight 27st. 11b. Mr. Squire, Tottenham-court-road—A very respect able exhibition, including three of the handsomest pigs we have had occasion to notice this year, being classed in the show as 16, No. 156, of the Berkshire and York breed, bred and fed by Mr. Charles Elegy, of Hounslow. They were 18 weeks and 2 days old; they obtained the prize of 101. to the feeder, and a silver medal to the breeder. They were extremely handsome in the car case, and were universally admired; their dead weights were 20st. 41bs., 21st. 21bs., and 22st. 41bs. respectively. Mr. Engelheart, of St. Martin's-le-Grand; Mr. Chap pel, of Skinner-street, Snow-hill ; and Mr. Gray, of Drury-lane, exhibited each their usual Christmas offer- Jigs. Their respective names are a sufficient guarantee ror the quality of their stock. POULTERERS. Mr. Parsons, purveyor to her Majesty, South Audler street—As usual, these premises were most choicely stocked with poultry, game, and wild fowl in profusion, of the very first quality. There was a classical arrange ment -strictly observed throughout this whole extensive stock. The turkey poults were of a very superior order, weighing some of them 261bs. Some Dorking capons reached as much as 121bs. each, and the geese were un- • usually fine. Mr. R. Baines, New Bond-street--There was a par ticular nicety observable throughout the whole of these premises, which were admirably well furnished with the very best samples belonging to the present festive sea son. Order and cleanliness were the chief features in this establishment. We noticed a hen turkey here (a young bird) weighing 17ilbs. ; such a specimen we have not noticed this year throughout London. Mr. Harris, purveyor to her Majesty, Duke-street, Manchester square—Here was a very fine display of stock admirably suited to the season. The turkey poults were excelling samples, and the capons were some of them extraordinary large, and in the finest possible condition. Mr. Clifford, purveyor to her Majesty the Queen Dowager—The whole stock of this gentleman was very select. Here were young turkeys 271bs. each, and some extraordinary capons, running upon 141bs. each. There was also a profusion of game and wildfowl. Mr. Fisher, Duke-street, St. James's—Stock very heavy and good throughout. Some of the turkey poults reached in weight 241bs. Game and wildfowl in an un usual abundance. Mr. Donovan, Oxford-street—A wonderful exhibition of poultry and game; among other features we observed a noble turkey, weighing 3541 b., and a rabbit, 171 b. Mr. Donovan, Tottenham-court-road—One mass of fur and feather. Among the game were some very choice price pheasants; also a goose weighing 181 b., and a turkey weighing 281 b. The capons here run remark ably fine. Mr. Raggett, Upper King-street, Holborn—What was here wanting in quantity was made up in quality. The turkeys and capons could not be surpassed for size and excellence. The pheasants were prime samples of the season. Mrs. Wallis, Swallow-passage, Oxford-street—Stock extensive and good. Here was a magnificent turkey, 2 years old, bred and fed by Mr. Rayner, of Cambridge, gained a prize of 5 sovereigns, 321 b. in weight, and a rabbit weighing 131 b. Mr. Cook, Holborn-bridge—The heaviest supply throughout London. These premises were literally crammed with game and poultry ; such an exhibition was a novelty in the metropolis. Mr. Hill, Hungerford-market—A remarkably heavy stock of the first order ; his turkeys, geese, and capon. were prodigiously fine, and game was profuse. Hungerford-market—Very select and Mr. Mazoyer, admirably well arranged ; some of the turkeys were un usually fine for young birds ; the best turkey on these premises weighed upwards of 241bs. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the butchers and pork butchers killed their stock, which has this year been greatly delayed on account of the exceeding variableness of the weather, and on which account the poulterers have up to the latest possible hour deferred taking advantage of their supplies, the annual Christmas returns for the present year are necessarily much I limited. tot BIRMINGUAM, WEDNESDAY. —The I'remier has just arrived here by the train from London, on his way to Drayton Manor, to spend Christmas with his family. Upon the Right Hon. Baronet being recognised in his carriage a large number of gentlemen who were assembled cheered him most enthusiastically, and continued their applause until the Bight Hon. Baronet got into his carriage and drove off. Sir Robert looked well, and appeared much pleated at the hearty wel come lie received. GLAsGOW PIG IRON TRADE, Dec. 23.—Prices are said to have improved these two days past. Founders sup plying their immediate wants have had to pay. 755. nett. Several sales were male at 775. 6d. and 80s. credit; while, at the same time, we believe, several thousand tons could have been procured at 725. 6d. cash. The appearance of improve ment is caused by our present political position—holders pausing until something definite takes place. This paper has, for some time past, been endeavouring to impress on the trade the propriety of an extension of malleable works as a means of consumpt for pig iron. We have just learned that an extensive firm, engaged solely in the manufacture of pig iron, have surveyed ground near Coatbridge, and on which they are to erect a malleable work on an extensive Seale.
