SUNDERLAND, TUESDAY MORNING, AUG. 12.--Yesterday the exertions of the candidates and their friends were inereat•ed, and the town is now on .4 the tiptoe of expectation," and in a state of great excitement. Mr. Hudson and Mr. Cobden ar rived during the day, and the appearance of the latter gentle man has given renewed animation to the contest. In the evening, Mr. Cobden, M.P. (who arrived in the town during the day) ; Colonel Thompson, and Mr, Bright, M.P., adth.essed the electors in the Polytechnic Hall of the Athemeum. The gallery was reserved for ladies. Both putts of the building were crowded to excess, and also the adjoining lecture theatre, which is separated from the hall by a wooden partition, and in which, when the inner doors are opened, the persons assembled are enabled to hear, though not to see the speaker. On the platform were some of the most active and influential Liberals in the borough. Joshua Wilson, Esq. (of the well-known firm Wilson and Brothers, merchants and importers) presided, and at once in troduced Richard Cobden, Esq., Member for Stockport, to the meeting. Mr. COBDEN said, I received a summons from our good friend Colonel Thompson to come here to pay my respects to you in person. I must confess I think it almost a work of supererogation that 1 should come here at all ; for when you have my master and teacher to teach you, I hardly think it is necessary for one of his pupils to come. How. ever, I now repent what I have often said, I would walk barefoot 200 miles merely to assist in promoting his re turn to Parliament. Fortunately I have visited you with much less fatigue, for I left Manchester at seven o'clock, and here lam in the midst of you. I should have thought Sunderland the very last place in the kingdom where we should have had a free-trade contest against monopoly. —(Hear.) It is said "experience teaches fools," and you are not foals in Sunderland—you are " too far North for that," and therefore I should have thought the bitter ex perience of the four or five years during which this town and neighbourhood were plunged into a state of distress from which it is only just emering, would have present anybody, however deeply sunk in the mire of political prejudice, from any further attachment to the corn-laws. But it seems there are still persons to be found in Sunderland to raise tl,e banner of monopoly against tree trade, and I am told that there are persons who own ships, and who live by carrying goods to and from foreign countries, in favour of restriction upon trade. I believe that twenty-five years hence, when those among us who may then be living, tell to our chil dren what has happened during that time in this struggle for free trade, the thing most difficult to make them comprehend will be, the fact that shipowners were found against free trade. I have sometimes speculated as to what can be the ground of the hostility of shipowners to free trade, and I believe this is the solution of it. You have some old men among the shipowners —there are old men in every calling, and we are apt to look upon old men as knowing more than young ones. Old men have a hankering after old times ; under the navigation laws, large fortunes were made; and they think if we returned to that system, the same would be the case again. Now, I wish to convince them that it is impossible to do so, not upon my own aut h or i ty, but upon that of the H ouse of ommons, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Gladstone, and every man there worth two minutes' thought—that nothing is more wild and visionary than for shipowners to dream of going back to the old system 44 the navigation laws. —(Hear, hear.) We must have foreign trade carried on in foreign shipping, we cannot prevent it ; the next hsst thing is, to have as much carrying trade as we can, as much rt-maid as we can, and for Englishmen to take the chance of doing all they can ; and if they have fair play in the world's market, I do not think anybody can beat Englishmen either by sea or land. Well, then, we say we want more trade, for the free trade means more trade, as I dare say you have heard fifty times before during the contest; and if we have more trade, Englishmen will have their share of it. We say especially that we want more trade in foreign corn ; it is a bulky article and grown everywhere; for there is not a latitude in w hist) other commodities will grow, that will not grow corn. l hens up gets an ancient shipowner, tells me that a free trade in corn would be carried on in foreign ships, and points to the notorious fact that in 18.0, out of 100,000 quarters of foreign corn, only 3,000 or 4,000 quarters were brought ii, English ships, the rest being brought in foreign bottoms. That, is the very point I want to talk about. Why do foreigners bring corn to this country? It is owing to the operation of the slid ing scale ; and I will explain that in such a manlier that en shipowner, whatever may b. his politics, will fail to respond to it. Under the present system, no msn dare import corn as a regular article of trade ' • he dues not know wh e th er t h e scale will jump to 20 3 . or down to Is , and therefore it is not a safe trade for a merchant in ordinary times; but as just now, when there is a chance, owing to the probable failure of the ha-vest, that the duty should be down to ss. or hi., then there is a demand for corn all over th e world. But corn is wanted instantly. Since I have been here I have had a letter put into my hand, addressed to a house in this town, from Marseilles, dated July 31st, which affords an illustration of what I was saying:—" Gentlemen, the present is to inform you that the merchants are moving about freights to England. Only within three days, the freights for corn have risen from ss. to 6s. 6d. There are no English vessels, and none off the coast." Then there is an account of the ships chartered, which perhaps I ought not to read. It is not certain how long this deemed may continue—it may last a month; the very next post that goes out to Marseilles may tell the merchants there that the sun is shining here, and that the prospect of harvest is good, and beg them not to send corn at all, but pay smart. money to get off the bargain. Under such a system as this, you cannot possibly have a regular trade carried on in English ships, but if the torn trade were put on the same fief uses the cotton trade, why should you not have as regular a trade in corn as in THE S N, LONDON, WEDNESDA V EVEN EN G, AUGUST 13 cotton, and why should not English ships have a fair share of that freight? Well, then, we are met in this town by those who profess to be the peculiar friends of the poor with the state ment that if we admit foreign corn the wages of labour here will fall—that if we bring corn from Poland our people will get the same wages as the Polish serf s ; th ey might just as well say that if we bring gum from Africa the labourers here will be black and have curly hair.—(Laughter and cheers.) Have you not had some experience in this town on that point—the expe rience of the last five or six years ought to have closed the mouths of the people who talk such nonsense as this.—( Hear. ) My respected and venerated friend, I understand, has been denounced as a Socialist and an infidel. I was reading yes terday the life of Wilberforce (an old friend of Col. Thomp son's), and I find that in the commencement of his career as an agitator against that most horrible traffic in human beings, the slave-trade, he and his friends were denounced as being the disciples of Tom Paine, and the friends of Marat and Robes pierre in the French Revolution. Av, and then genteel people —persons in broad-cloth—used to make it a boast that they did not belong to the Wilberforce party abolitionists. Who is there now who would stand up and defend slavery and the slave.trade; And in less time than Wilberforce abolished that odious traffic, we shall have achieved the triumph of free-trade principles? and the very men who are now opposing us in this holy crusade will be the first to turn round and say we were always free traders. Now the two candidates presented to you are can didates to fill a vacancy caused by the loss which we in the House of Commons have sustained by the retirement of your late excellent representative, Lord Howick. I deeply regret that loss, because he stood prominent among his class or order in that House for the honest and unflinching advocacy of free trade principles. He did not advocate the abolition of the corn-laws, and the abolition of the monopolies in sugar, and coffee, and other things—he did not advocate them r.. - 5 a man who acted as a mere politician. He had the frankness to avow in the 'Joust. of Commons, that he had, during the three years of discussion which took place, seen reason to change his opi nions materially as regard e d the laws which restricted the supply of the first necessaries of life. He said, what we will all remember, that he did not consider it a mere ques tion of polities, but he thought the question of free-trade was one, the nature and circumstances of which involved a great moral duty in the Legislature of this country. He did more, by that earnest speech, to take the question nut of the category ot party politics than was done by any speech made in the House of Commons. He served as a connecting link between the free-traders in that House and the Whig aristocracy who are to be found in the House ; and I much regret that he is not there still, so that he might cement that union, and make us one combined body in our cause.—( Hear, hear.) But you are called upon to nominate his subcessor. Now, if There is one thing that I cannot possibly forget, more than I can do another, in this contest, it is the fact that you were previously represented by such a man as Lord Howick. If any constituency can be considered pledged,- 1 say pledged in honour, to return a man of kindred senti ments to the House of Commons on this question, you are; or I cannot tell how he can face the pulic again, after hav ing, as I heard him in the House of Commons, stated that he was requested by three-fourths of the constituency of this borough to take that honest and straightforward course which he did take in the advocacy of the question. I re peat, that you have now two candidates placed before you; —one, my friend here, Colonel Thompson. who has done more than any living man to advance the principles which Lord Howlett advocased in your name. He devoted his time, his fortune, his labour to the cause, at a time when there were few to sympathise with, and fewer still to aid him, in his efforts. He printed tracts by tens of thousands when the great difficulty was to find readers who would read them, even though they were gratuitously distributed. But he persevered ; and from the solitude of his chamber came forth those lessons which taught another class of teachers—the teachers who perambulated this land, vulgarising, if I may' so speak, the doctrines-- Mr. BRlGHT—Popularising. Mr. COBDEN—Or "popularising," as my more genteel friend, Mr. Bright, suggests—the doctrines and the lessons which they derived from Colonel Thompson's pen ; and I think that, on this occasion, Sunderland is fortunate in having the opportunity of endorsing those strong opinions which they expressed through Lord Howick, by sending Colouel Thompson to reiterate those arguments in the House of Commons.—( Applause.) But it appears that Colonel Thompson, besides being a free-trader, entertains other opinions on political questions. And I hold that I should be myself but a poor advocate of free trade if I could not allow any one who was co-operating with me in the advocacy of free trade to entertain his own political principles. But, on this occasion, don't let us be mystified. Whatever other opinions Colonel Thompson may entertain—whether he too one point farther, or fall one point short of myself—don't be mysti fied. The only question at issue in this election is the question of free trade and monopoly.—( Hear.) In England we are in the habit of doing things tone at a time; and the question we have in hand now is that of free trade. It is the question of the present generation; and that question will be settled before any other question, about which your eceaaies at tempt to terrify you, will have anything like a discussion in the House of Commons. And, therefore, without asking whether Colonel Thompson's political opinions are in all re spects the same as mine, or yours, or not, I think you will agree with me that, a s a f ree -t ra der, you could not send a man to the House of Commons who would strike such a blow for free trade as you would be the means of striking by returning my respected friend on my left.—(Loud cheers.) I see, in one of the placards, it is stated that the members of Colonel Thompson's Committee are not all jus tices of the peace, and are not all gentlemen. In fact, it tells us that there is nobody on that Committee. Why, this reminds me of an anecdote in Goldsmith's Citizen of the World, where he makes his fashionable fop to walk the park with a Chinese. The park was crowded; but the fop kept telling the Chinese gentleman--" There is nobody here— nobody-0 nobody at all. There is positively nobody in town. " Then," said the clever Chinese, "if there is nobody here, pray who are all the people here that are 'laughing at ?"—( Great laughter and applause.) Now I think I may ask, if any of those justices of the peace and petty sessions should be telling you that there is nooody here for Colonel Thompson, is not every body else laughing at them ? For 1 declare that from one end of the kingdom to the other there is nothing but one loud laugh at Colonol Thompson's oppo nent here.—(Applause.) There never was such an exhibi tion in the world. The idea of a man coming among a po pulation of nearly 60,000, and offering to bribe the whole borough by pledging himself to make such a dock or such a railway ;—the idea itself was certainly a clumsy one, but the way in which the thing was managed by these great justices ot the peace was so strange that certainly there never was any thing more ridiculous. They should not have said anything in public if they wanted Mr. Hudson to go to Parliament and do their jobs for them. They spoiled the whole scheme. They should not have said a word, because they prevented his having a possibility of doing anything of the kind. Imagine Mr. Hudson getting up in the House of Commons —though 1 am aware you are not going to send him there, by the way—(Laughter)—but imagine him rising in his seat in the House of Commons, and saying he begged to move for leave to bring in a Bill for con structing a dock at Sunderland. Before he had finished the words a peal of laughter would have arisen from all parts of the House ; and then o ne wou ld s h out, " W right ! Wright !" and another, " Spoor ! Spoor ?" till all was drowned in laughter once again.—(:lluch cheering and laughter.) Why, you may tell them that all the world is laughing at them. And then, what an insulting proposition ! If somebody had gone to Seaham, strong as s en Atlas, and said he would make them a dock, or something of the kind, if they would only make him dock-keeper, or chief constable—l could have understood if, in a place like that, people might put themselves under the patronage of any man who would make them docks. But the idea of a town like Sunderland, with fifty-six thousand inhabitants, being asked to suffer themselves to be bribed by the making of a dock, and the bringing to them a railway into the bargain, is such an insulting proposal—that - I must say I did not think there was so much impudence extant.—(Laughter.) To do Mr. Hudson justice, however, lam quite sure he is no party to it. Has he publicly said that herwill make you docks?—(" No.") No, he is a great deal too good a judge. Has he declared that he will make a railway ?—(" No.") Then it is not Mr. Hudson who has said it, but Mr. Wright and Mr. Spoor.—( Laughter.) You know best whether their guarantee is good for the construction of docks and railways • but you have no claim upon Mr. H u d son at all events. But I presume the town has now come to its senses; and shortly after the thing was first proposed, when it became known that alt the country was laughing at it, I do not doubt that there was not one sane man who did not thoroughly believe that it was all " fudge ;" and if Mr. Hudson's friends kept up a face on the subject, it was merely to laugh in their sleeves when nobody could see then. How can Mr. Hudson make docks and railways. If I understand anything of his position and his undertakin g s—and I should not h ave t a lk e d a b ou t th em if he and his friends had not made them matter of public boast, if I understand his position, I believe there is no man in this country whose ways and means are more deeply engaged and bespoken than Mr. Hudson's.--( Hear.) If all that he him sell tells us is true, he will want every farthing that he can get from every source that he can command.—( Hear.) He does not propose to find you the money. Who does? If anybody lends money to make docks or railways, it is because he ex pects to get a good return. But it does not require Mr. Hud son to be a Member of Parliament in order to enable him to take shares in these things, if he likes. He may do it now, if so he will ; and I want to show you that he can do. it better out of Parliament than in it.—(Hear, and laughter.) I told him so myself the other day. I met him in the lobby of the House of Commons, where he is often to be found, and I whispered in his ear, " If you wish to have any of your pro jects under the attention of that House, I would advise you to remain in the lobby till the business is done, for you are a great deal more powerful in this lobby than you will ever be within those walls." " Why so? " was his answer. " Why, because if Mr. Hudson gets up out of his place to speak in favour of a particular railway, he will not be regarded as the most disinte rested advocate of that rarlway."—( Applause.) And men who are disinterested will be quite as likely to vote against him, as any will be to vote in his favour, because he advocates the measure. If Mr. Hudson wants to extend his operations, and to make other railways in addition to those which he has DOW upon his hands—if he wish to pass other Bills, let him pursue the same course in their operation -1-t him stick to the lobby. You are mistaken if you suppose that Members of Parliament can now act in the House of Commons for the promotion of private jobs. Great improve ment has taken place in these things. Nothire has given ire more satisfactio n th an the complete change Which has lately taken place in the management of private business. Let Mr. Hudson keep, th en , i n the lobby ; and if he have taken such conceive y — o i u f a wa v n io t lel o t doc aff k e s c — tio if n he fo k r in t d h l i ys wanthem ao nu or t n h e e r v r e a r i 1 w y o a u y r , and is himself dying with an • - • `' xlety to assis t y ou in etting them, still I say let him sti c k to the lobby " for he w g ill be more able to realise hi s w i s h es there than' on the other side of the door.—( Applause and laughter.) There is another rea. son why Mr. Hudson should not wish to go into the House of Commons. I don't think his debut in public life has at all added to his reputation. I believe he used to be considered at a premium in the market ; but since his introductory speech here, in public, on the corn-laws and free trade he no longer occupies that position. I don't know wheth er any man has more completely settled his own downward course as a ; but this I knew, that if I had happe ne d t o h o l d public man shares in Mr. Hudson's lines of railway from Bristol to Ber wii k, and if my confidence in him was challenged because he had been so prosperous, I would, after reading that speech, have felt obliged to take a calm review of myself; for a lean who could talk such rubbish proves himself to be infinitely below, in intellect, the very lowest Member of the House of Commons at this moment—and that is saying a good deal.— 11 1 / : 2 CO 104 - /8 111 1 1 /., 4% 23 1 / 2 ii 217 225 121 103 22E/2 87 I/2 10:I t 2 % 1 3.7;A 2 A here a m a n who, i n t e llectually, has not a s ( Laughter.)

I believe if Colonel Thompson has a fault, it is this. He has not sufficient of the quality which in phrenology is called " self-esteem ;" and he has never known his own worth. The absence of that self-esteem—that vulgar pride—has led Colonel Thompson always to descend from his own station, to try and elevate those beneath him. When I visit my friend at his house at Blackheath, and when I see the elegant style in which he lives when I see the manner in which Colonel Thompson might pass his life, and ought to pass his life, free from the cares'and anxieties which he willingly takes upon himself—when I see a man of large fortune living as he does, where the humblest classes see him —willing to lift up the humble man to a level with himself—l say that man ought to be honoured as the greatest of all characters.—( Cheers. ) Flattery, I know, can be pleasant neither to Colonel Thomp son nor to me ; but I mean to say that he is the most amiable of my acquaintance. I have a theory that political economists are the most amiable of men; and I remember Sir J. Mackintosh says that the three great political economists—Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and the Rev. Mr. Malthus—were the most amiable men he had ever known. I add Colonel Thompson to the number ; and say be is the most amiable man of my acquaintance.—(Loud cheers.) If a man give a bad vote, 1 am disposed to treat him just as Henry Clay desired to be treated. He gave what was considered a bad vote; and when he went down to Kentucky, he met an old backwoodsman with a rifle with which he had been shoot ing squirrels. Clay asked him for his vote. " No, no," said the man, " I'll never vote for you again ; you gave a bad vote the other day." " Well," said Clay, " what sort of a rifle is that ?" " Never was a'better," was the reply, "It never missed fire but once." " And what did you do then?" was Clay's next question. " Why, I nicked the flint, and tried again."—(Loud laughter, and applause.) " Well, then I think you had better do the same—nick the flint, and try again with me." Now I don't know that Colonel Thompson has any bad vote recorded that can now be raked up against him ; but if there be, why, nick the flint, and let him try again.— (Laughter and applause,) The CHAIRMAN then called upon John Bright, Esq., M.P. for Durham, to address the meeting. Mr. BRIGHT observed—This is the ninth meeting I have attended during the progress of the contest, and I may say, without exaggeration, that however numerous and enthusiastic the other meetings were, this excels them all. We come before you, not as electors of Sunderland, nor yet as private individuals, who, of our own minds, have left our ovi n business to interfere with you ; but we come here (and I consider I du Rot overstep the line of strict modesty when I say it) deputed by a hundred or more of the towns of this kingdom, and thousands and millions of your countrymen, to explain what is the cause of the terrible sof • ferings which the people endure—to ask that now, when you have the power, to strike a heavy, I trust it may be a deadly, blow against the foulest injustice and crime which any Government ever perpetrated against any people, you, the electors, will indignantly - scorn all those mean and base, sordid and insulting considerations that have been laid before you, and judge rightly for yourselves, rightly for your country, and for those great principles of justice and mercy, which, if not paramount in the Government, can never tend to the prosperity of the people.—(Great cheering.) We come with a very simple, yet forcible statement, to arraign before the constituency of this borough a law which restricts the supply of food, and dooms the poorest of the people perio dically to the suffering and misery of famine. The corn-law is a famine law; the men who passed it, and the men who support it, if they know its object and tendency, are men who legislated for famine, and whose only end—it it operate at all—must be to produce famine, scarcity, and want amongst the poorest of the people. Can anything be more outrageous, more frightfully unjust than such a law BS this ?-( Hoar, bear.) I here is not a clime under heaven where man can lire in which wheat cannot be grown ; there is not a man under heaven to whom wheat is not a whole some article of food ; there is not probably another product on the earth's surface which will stand so many vicissi tudes of climate and still come to maturity. All this shows that this great staple article of human existence, wherever grown, was intended for the whole human family. At this moment, on the continent of America, there is a bountiful harvest ; there is also a stock remaining over from last year's harvest ; it has been there waiting twelve months, and no buyers from this country have been found. The President of that great Republic has stated in one of those important documents which he is in the habit of submitting to the American Legislature, that the greatest difficulty found in that country is, to secure purchasers for their surplus produce. Why is this, then, that now, when the sun does not shine, and the rain unsparingly descends, that throughout the length and breadth of the land there is a seinitiveness and tremour, such as one would think no insane person would subject us to if be knew how to avoid it. STATE OF TRADE.—The weather continues to exercise an unfavourable influence upon the goods market, which has been very quiet for the last few days, though without any sensible change in prices. For yarn the demand continues exceedingly good, and spinners have no difficulty in making extended contracts for ftEure delivery, at full rates..--. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 11.—We have had another excellent market ; all the goods were bought up by noon, at better prices.

William Bain, manager of pyroiigneous acid manufac, tory, ileadswoud, near Denny, Aug. 19 and Sept. 9, a one, at the house of Mr. Kirwood, Denny. had given him every assistance on this occasion, and had addressed nearly 400 letters, inclosing tickets of admis sion to the Bishops, the Clergy, and the Ministers of all religious denominations in the metropolis, of whom he. was sorry to see so few thought it worth their while to attend. Yet he would prove that lunatics were, in every sense, deserving objects of the attention of ministers of religion, putting his claims to that attention on the lowest possible scale, even as animals. The lunatics called for, and demanded the protection of the ministers of reli gion, still more as poor, as afflicted, as sick, as prisoners. To all of whom, in every capacity, the ministers of reli gion were sent by the Author of the Divine mission, who came to seek and save them that were lost—but lest those present who were not acquainted with the sub ject, and who were unaware of the brutal treatment lune tics received, should think that the complaints were ex aggerated against the system of private lunatic asyhuns, he would relate a few instances of gross and indelicate treatment of patients which he had witnessed,— The lecturer then entered into details of Ithe most harsh and indtlieate ill-treatment of patients of the highest education and of the most refined feel ings, and particularly to a clergyman whom he met. in one of those asylums, and who was repeatedly caned in th e trust violent in unner by one of the keepers, in his presence. This gentleman was of a very mild and ami able disposition, and had often interimsed to prevent similar brutal assaults of the keepers on himself. He appealed, therm-fore, to the . ministers of r e li g i on no t on ly tier tl ake of female delicacy, which w as con ti nua lly outraged in these houses, but f or the sake of members of their own professien, who a ere exposed to the grossest insults, the greatest irreverence, the most brutal as saults, under the deepest affliction that can befit" human nature. He observed, that he hoped he had proved that the ministers of religion were entitled to claim the right of superintendence in these asylums —to the right of visiting the members of their congregations con fined therein, to afford them religious advice and consolation —to minister to the mind diseased — to offer that sweet solace and consolation which redgion alone can supply, and simply by their presence and at tention to give to these asylums that mild and soothing character so opposed to the present brutal system, and the abuses to which he had referred and exposed. These had occurred under the present supervision of magis trates and the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy, showing that system to be a complete failure. The failure of the present system justified the clergy and the minis ters of religion ganerally, in demanding for the benefit of this unfortunate portion of our fellow countrymen and countrywomen, a new system upon new principles, which being founded on sound reason and the highest charities of religion could not fail of being successful. , ong of the porters, who planed a label on it. He mentioned to the porter that it contained valuable property. When the train arrived at Bridgewater, about two o'clock in the morning, the writing case was missing. On the 12th ult. Mr. Prance received an anonymous letter, stating that the leather case containing the notes and bills were safe, and that a liberal reward must be paid for its recovery. The holders would seek a person highly respectable to act as agent in the affair, and the prosecutor was to advertise in the Morning Post, thus :—" Alpha will give pounds, if all the papers are returned safe." The letter concluded by stating that "none but principals would be allowed to inter fere in the matter." Mr. Prance immediately handed the letter to the manager of the Gnat Western Railway Com pany, who consulted Mr. Clarkson on the subject. The de sired advertisement not being sent to the Morning . Post, on the 18th of July a second letter was received, stating " That if no answer was advertised in the Morning Post of the following Tuesday, the papers would be out of the holder's hands, and irrevocably lost." This letter was in the same handwriting as the first. An advertisement was then sent to the Morning Post, dots instead of figures being placed after the £. Another letter was then re ceived, dated from Morley's Hotel, Charing.cross, July 23, which stated that the agent appointed to arrange the matter referred to was unfortunately at Sandhurst, and would not return until the following Saturday ; but that he ( the writer) would address a letter to him, and that Mr. Prance should receive an answer from him at his re sidence, at Bridgewater. The letter also said that the amount of the reward must be named in figures after the X. in the next advertisement. On the following day Mr. Prance received at Bridgewater the promised communication from the agent, Mr. Charles Maynard. It was dated July 24, Mr. Paine's Farm, Sandhurst, Kent, and was to the effect that a stranger had called at his office the previous weak, and said that he had found a travelling-desk and contents, vi hick appeared to belong to Mr. Prance. The individual said that he had not obtained it dishonestly, and proposed that the owner should sta'e what amount he would give for the recovery of the property, and address his communication to his (the writer's) office, No. 19, Howland -street, Fitzroy-square. It also said that the finder thought he should receive 1001., but that he would take 504 with a redemption on the part of the prosecutor that no ulterior proceedings should be taken. The cash was to be deposited in the writer's (Maynard's) hands, and the papers would. be left at his office two hours after for Mr. Prance. The letter concluded by hoping that the affair would be settled between the following Saturday and Wed nesday. and that he (the writer) was of opinion that the finder of the desk was under the tuiti m of some sharp prac titioners. These communications were all handed to Mr. Seymour Clarke, manager of the Great Western Railway Company, and under the advice of the solicitors to the Com pany a meeting was courted, and their clerk, Mr. Nash, was appointed to attend to the business. On the 2d of August another letter was received from the prisoner, stating his regret that he could not meet Mr. Clarke, on account of great press of business, and urging on Mr. Clarke to agree to terms at once, as the mar, who had the desk did not appear to be in needy circumstances, and it was not in his (Maynard's) power otherwise to give the aid required in re covering the property. It also stated that it would be a useless waste of time to scrutinise his (the prisoner's) conduct, as he knew no partieulars, and the affair could only be concluded through his agency. The last letter, dated August 4, said the things could rie obtained for 401., and that he (Maynard) would see Mr. Clarke on the following morning, from nine to half-past nine o'clock. A meeting took place at the railway station on Tuesday last, when an appointment was made to deliver up the property at the Guildhall Coffee-house, and there, after a little negotiation about the amount to be given, the property was restored, minus 101. in gold and a bill of exchange for 1201. The writing-case, however, was not given up. The prisoner, at the railway station, agreed to take 251., but on his announcing the loss of the 120/. bill, Mr. Prance beat him down to 221. 10s. The prisoner was then given into custody. At the conclusion .of the examination of Mr. Prance and Mr. Nash yesterday, Mr. Clarkson said he hoped the Magistrate would again adjourn the case, as he had an appointment, which, on account of the length of the present exansination, he found very in convenient. After some discussion, it was agreed the amount of hai should be reduced to himself in 400/., and two sureties of 2001 each. LAMBETIL INCENDIA RISM, ASSAULT, AND ROBBERY.—yesterday George Humphery Bryant was charged before Mr. Henry with being drunk, and wilfully setting fire to the house of Mrs. Odell, No. 59, Hill-street, Walworth. Mrs. Odell deposed that on the evening before the prisoner, who had lodged at her house for upwards of twelve months, came home intoxicated and ill-used hi; wife, shamefully abused her ( witness), and threatened to burn the plaee down. He then went up stairs, but after stopping a few minutes returned, and exclaimed, " I have set a light to your - house." Witness ran up stairs, and on entering the apartment occupied by the prisoner and his wife she found the bed and bedding on fire. She instantly flung some water on the bed, ,add, with the•as sistance of her servant, succeeded in extinguishing the fire be fore it had done any serious mischief. The prisoner returned in about a quarter of an hour, armed with a large club, and swore with most desperate oaths he would have the lives of both his wife and witness ; and so violent was his manner that they were both obliged to lock themselves up in the first instance, and then escape by getting eut of the front windows, while the prisoner was in the back part of the house. Police-constable William Staggill stated that he went to take the prisoner into custody, and proceeded up stairs for that purpose. The prisoner gave him a• violent blow on the arm with the tongs, and knocked him down a flight of stairs, by which his spine and arm were injured. He, however, followed the prisoner, who had effected his escape by the back way from the house, and ultimately secured him. The prisoner, in :his defence, said he was 'sb drunk at the time that he was almost unconscious of what he did; but he said he had not wilfully set the bed on fire. Sergeant Pritchard, P 22, informed the magistrate that there was a third charge against the prisoner of having stolen a large ingot of tin from the premises of Mr. Coad, a plumber and painter in High-street, Camberwell, on Saturday night last. _ _ He was remanded to a future day to give the officers an op portunity of tracing the property. UNGRATEFUL THIEF. —,John Hutchinson, a young fellow of shabby genteel appearance, and who was described as a cabinet-maker, was charged with stealing a writing-desk con taining plate to the value of 301., a bank receipt for a lOU, and a Bank of England note for W., the property of Mr. James Lampard, a barri4ter's clerk. The prisoner hid been paying his addressei to tbe'daughter of the prosecutor, and being out of employment he was lodged and fed at the house. An Monday evening the prosecutor went to his society in the Blackfriars-road.-and at about ten o'clock his wife and daughter went to meet him on his return home, leaving the house in the prisoner's care. On their return they missed the prisoner and also the writing-desk, and .found the prisoner had gone out the back way. At a quarter to twelve o'clock the prisoner was stopped in High-street, Poplar, •:v ith the boa unopened, and the whole of the property in it. The prisoner was committed for trial. tVORSHIP--S7ItFET. THE SWELL MOB IN A CEMETERY.—Yesterday a young man of smart appearance, who gave hi, name and address as Alfred Page, Victoria. terrace, Camberwell 4 , was charged with attempting tiv pick pockets in the Abnekpritk.aseterp , .. Stoke Newington. The wife of Mr. Mechi, the well-known''razor'ilini:no manufacturer, was buried on Monday afternoon, and the funeral being a rather ostentatious one, attracted a very great crowd to the cemetery. Many pocke•is were picked, and the prisoner, whose motions had excited the suspicion of many persons, was given into custody. He, however, made such a violent resistance, that he was conveyed from the cemetery to the Kingsland police-station in a wheelbatrow, and thence to the court upon the police stretcher. A witness named Storer stated that ha saw the prisoner press against persons in the crowd, particularly ladies, in a way that excited his suspicion. A friend of his, also, one of the undertakers, pointed out the prisoner to him, and said he was one of the swell mob. He therefore watched, and saw the prisoner, after pressing against several, actually put his hand into the pocket of one lady. He presently afterwards lost sight of the prisoner in the crowd ; but he spoke to the lady, and ascertained from her that she had been robbed of some.. thing, and some time afterwards the prisoner was taken into custody. _ Poli w ceman Miles, 273 N, said he saw the prisoner feel the pockets of several ladies, at the very brink of the grave; and while the minister was reading the burial service, the prisoner appeared to be devoutly repeating the Lord's Prayer after him, putting his hand at the same time into the pocket of a lady that he was pressing against. Mr. BINGHAM remanded the prisoner, for the attendance of the ladies alluded to. GREENWICH. FIRST CONVICTION UNDER THE NEW ACT AGAINST SMUGGLING.—This Act of Parliament came into opera'ion on the 4th inst., and authorises police-constables and others to apprehend and bring before the magistrates persons charged with smuggling quantities of manufactured foreign tobacco and spirits, in packages not weighing 61bs., and of spirits not ex ceeding one gallon. The 57th section of the Act dispenses with the necessity of Custom-house informations in such cases, and subjects the offender to a penalty of five pounds, and not less than forty shillings, or one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. John Ivey, dressed as a bricklayer's labourer, was brought before Mr. Jeremy, charged with the unlawful possession of five packages of foreign cigars, weighing two pounds ten ounces. Police-sergeant Beech deposed that he apprehended the pri soner in the Maidstone-road, Eltham-green. The prisoner had a bundle under his arm, and said, on being questioned, that it contained wearing apparel ; from his manner he su3- peeted the truth of the prisoner's statement. On examining the bundle he discovered the cigars produced. The prisoner then said he had bought them of a man at Erith for 17s. Mr. Thomas Cornell, Queen's Appraiser of Customs, de posed that the digars were of foreign manufacture, and in foreign packages, the duty on which was 245. 9d., and the value of the same 2s. 41d. Mr. JEREMY ordered the prisoner to pay the mitigated penalty of 405., and in default he stood committed for one month to the House of Correction. Persons in the City, who have carefully examined he lists of foreign railways, with a view to see their effect upon he circulation, have estimated that about 10,000,0001. must be sent out in the course of the year on account of the shares held in this country, exclusive of what has already been paid. This fact—which seems incontestable—should serve as a warn ing to speculators to be more than ordinarily careful in their operations, and not to rush into the market on the strength of the facilities which the present state of money affords. They should always bear in mind, that however well stocked th e vaults of the Bank of England may be, that institution has lost its expansive power under the present system, and can no longer step in to supply a deficiency in . the currency , th e i ssue of notes on securities being rigidly limeed to 14,000,0001. It is the more necessary to repeat this circumstance to the public, as even those wia,o ought to be best informed on the subject are often found to entertain a vague notion, that the Bank could afford some assistance if they were willing, whereas it is im possibleto entertain a view more fallacious. The weekly pub lication of the Bank returns ought to convince every one how completely all operations in that quarter are restricted.— Times. BAPTIST BUILDING FUND SOCIETY.—Last evening the annual meeting of the members and friends of this Society, established in 1824, for the purpose of relieving the'chapels of the above sect from debt, as well as erecting new places of worship where they were required, was held at the Baptist Mission-house, Moorgate.street. Joseph Fletcher, Esq., was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting on the import ance of the Society, and the benefit it would render to Chris tianity if supported. The Secretary then read the report, from which it appeared that the receipts had been for some time gradually diminishing, and for the last year were 52/. less than the preceding year. The sum available in the hands of the treasurer was but 6291., of which over 500/. had been granted for the objects of the Society, which relieved most of the metropolitan chapels from the debts with which they had been encumbered. Several addresses on behalf of the Society were delivered in the course of the evening. DEATH mom THE ATTACK or A 8U1.47---011 11011- day 'evening - Mr. Satinel Murrough, a medical . student, of Castle-street, Oxford-street, expired from the effects of juries received from the attack of a bull whilst walking in a ' field near the chalk-piti at Gravesend. The deceased was in his twenty-second year, and had lingered front Wednesday last. IRELAND. ORANGE SOCIETY-LORD HEYTESBURY'S LETTER. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—The following is the letter of the Lord Lieutenant,' announcing to Mr. Wat son the determination of the Government to remove him from the office of deputy-lieutenant. This letter may be considered as a warning to all lieu tenants, deputy-lieutenants, and magistrates, that any participation on their part in the Orange Society will be followed by dismissal. Although this letter has been kept back by Mr. Watson, it has been studied by the Orange leaders, and they have, in consequence, shrunk from the course first proposed to be adopted at the Orange mo - ster meeting in Eartishillen on Tuesday next. The writ to supersede Mr. Watson from the commission of the peace in the counties of Antrim and Down was for warded by the northern mail this evening : " Dublin Castle, 31st July, 1845. " Sir,—l am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23d instant, stating—in answer to that which inquired of you, 'as a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Antrim, whether you joined in the resolutions of the Lisburn Orangemen, or signed them as chairman ?—' that you signed the resolutions alluded to as chairman, and not as deputy lieutenant.' Elis Excellency has received this answer with deep regret. It must be in your recollection that the subjt et of Orange societies has anxiously engaged the attention of the Crown and the Legislature. "On the 25th of February, 1836, his late Majesty King William the Fourth, in reply to an address of the House of Commons, praying his Majesty to discourage Orange lodges, expressed himself to the following effect : " I willingly assent to the prayer of my faithful Commons, that I will be pleased to take such measures as may seem to me advisable for the effectual discourage ment of Orange lodges, and generally of all political so cieties excluding persons of a different religious faith, using secret signs and symbols, and acting by means of associated branches. It is my firm intention to dis courage all such societies in my dominions ; and I rely with confidence on the fidelity of my loyal subjects to support me in this determination.' "The intentions of his Majesty-, as thus expressed, were without delay adopted and eaforced by the Legis -1 ature. " In on Act of the same session (6 and 7 Willi4m IV., rap. 38), on a subject not necessarily involving the question, opportunity was taken of inserting provisions (sections 8,9) which opposed the strongest practical im pediments to the assembling of societies constituted as Orange lodges are, described to be ; and a subsequent Act, specially directed to the purpose (2 and 3 Victoria, cap. 74), put an end to their legal existence. " The subject was again brought under the notice of Parliament in the past session, when this Act was re newed by the 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 78 ; and a Bill is now passing through Parliament for its further con tinuance. " The law being thus unequivocal, and the sense of the Legislature thus deliberately pronounced, you have nevertheless thought fit, while bearing the commision of the peace and the office of deputy-lieutenant for the county of Antrim. to attend and act as chairman of's meet ing at which certain resolutions were passed, eutitled reso lutions of the Lisburn Orangemen, and of which the fol lowing passage forms a part :--‘ Resolved, that we deem it essential to take immediate steps to re-organise the Orange Institution in this county, and that the county secretary be forthwith requested to convene a county meeting.' " Ais Excellency cannot reconcile your concurrence in such a resoletion, arid your acting as chairman at such a meeting, with the duties incumbent on you as a justice of the peace or as a deputy-lieutenant. "As a magistrate, you should carefully guard and warn the people againet breach of the law, should they appear likely to violate it. You have incited them to re-organise secietiei which the law prohibits. "A- a deputy lieutenant, you should be an aid to the lieutenant of your county in all lawful measures tending to preserve its peace. You have encouraged assemblies, the result of which, in an adjoining county, has been a formidable affray, attended with loss of life. "In allowing the Act:to expire which prohibited party processions in Ireland, her Majesty reposed a willing confidence in the loyalty, and good sense of her Irish subjects. That confidence' has not, in the main, been disappointed. Successful exertions have been made by many of the most enlightened, patriotic, and influential of the magistracy and gentry towards the prevention of armed displays tending to excite breach of the peace, to alarm the peaceable, and to perpetuate discord-; and the country has had the advantage of owing their discon tinuance, not to the penalties of an Act of Parliament, but to the laudable discretion and loyalty of the people. " Among those who have thus merited the approba tion of her Majesty, and the gratitude of their country, you have not been found.. On the contrary, you are among the few of your station who have concurred in advising the renewal of an illegal association, chose proceedings have heretofore given occasion to frequent and sanguinary conflicts between different classes of her Majesty's subjects, of the lamentable character of that which has recently occurred in the city of Armagh. " Under these circumstances his Excellency feels bound to deprive you, as far as in him lies, of an influ ence and authority derivable from the offices you have hitherto held under the Crown ; and a letter has been addressed to the lieutenant of the county of Antrim, intimating your removal from the office of deputy lieutenant. " The Lord Chancellor has your conduct under his consideration with reference to your commission of the peace. " It is not without feelings of extreme regret that his Excellency has arrived 'at the decision now announced to you. " He has been informed that you have attained to an advanced age, possessed of the respect and esteem of thole by whom you are surrounded. " It is painful to his Excellency to place a mark of dis approbation where it sermed so unlikely to be called for , it is equally painful to him to deprive a gentleman of a trust which he has long enjoyed, and of which he has ben hitherto considered entirely deserving. " But in proportion to the station and rank in which you are placed, and to the esteem with which your general conduct has invested you, must be the effect .produced by your precepts and example i 3 the county where you hold an office-of trust under the Crown; end his Excellency feel.; bOUnd in your instance to demon strate to the public that it is his firm determination to be influenced by no other considerations, in the exercise of the functions with which he is invested, than those which relate to the maintenance of the law and the pro motion of the public welfare in that part of her Majesty's dominions in which the supreme authority has been coats milted to his charge.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " James Watson, Esq." (Signed) E. LUCAS. THE ARMY. DUBLIN, AUG. 10.—Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Vander meulen shortly succeeds to the command of the 73d, by the appointment of Colonel Love to the Adjutant- Generaley of Ireland, at present filled by Colonel T.

Captain Lord Char:es Kerr is transferred from tip! extra to the ordinary staff of Aides-de-camp to the Lord - Lieutenant's establishment. Coax, A UG. 9. DUEI. PREVENTED.—A rencontre took place on Thursday evening between two gentlemen, which it was feared would have terminated in a hostile meet- Mg. The facts of the case, as we have heard, are as 4dlows :—The parties alluded to are Mr. Silver Charles Oliver, of Sun-lodge, and Mr. Edmund Burke, of Prospect. The latter was riding home to his residence from this city on the evening named, and when about rounding the corner of Ship-street, leading to the Glanmire-road, he observed three ladies passing towards the Packet office. Mr. Burke instantly pulled up his horse to allow the ladies to cross, and before he had time to move on, Mr. Oliver, with another gentleman, drove up in his gig. The gig came in contact with Mr. Burke's horse, and struck him on the quarter. Mr. Burke's horse rushed forward into Ship-street, and an altercation ensued between the gentlemen of such a nature that it induced a gentleman present, uncon nected with either, to report the circumstances to the Mayor, when informations that a duel was apprehended were sworn. A warrant was immediately handed to head-constable Condon. We were informed that, on Thursday night Mr. Oliver was arrested at his residence by the active head-constable above-named, brought to Cork, and made to enter into the necessary recognizances before the Mayor to keep the peace. Yesterday Morning, about half past five o'clock, Mr. Burke was also arrested, and on being taken before his Worship he entered into similar recognizances. THE IRISH NAVAL SQUADRON.—Her Majesty's ship Tartarus, Captain Wol'e, has returned to Carrigahoit bay, to resume her survey. The Stromboli, Captain Fisher, R.N., has returned to her moorings at Tarbert, in the Shannon. Tile experimental squadron, consisting of eight large ships of the line, is expected to arrive at Cork about the 16th inst. The Marquis of Conyngham, in the Flower of Yarrow, came to anchor at Tarbert, on Tues day, and pulled over in his gig to Kilrush, where he visited Colonel Vandeleur, and thence proceeded to Kilkee, where he remained two hours—the first visit to his large hereditary estate on the western coast of Clare—and next afternoon had the pleasure of enjoying the beautiful scenery at both sides of the river, ae he sailed up the Shannon to Limerick. There was a public meeting at Galway on Thursday, convened by the Sheriff, to memorialise the Crown to select Galway as the site for a provincial college. The Corporation of Cork voted 201. for the sufferers by the Ballinhassig affray with the police—Lord Lis towel, 51. ; Carew O'Grady, Esq., 31. ; and Father Mathew. 11.

On Wednesday evening a lecture was delivered at the British Coffee House, Cockspur-street, by J. T. Per ceval, Esq., on the interest which the members of re ligion of ill denominations are bound to take in the proper treatment and examination of persons alleged to be of un soun d m u tat !. Th e lecture was advertised to b, in aid of a ne w soc i e ty l a tely instituted, The Lunatics' and Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society. The lectur er b egan by a p logising for intruding him self upon public attention, on a subject of so serious and affecting a n a t ure , an d more part i cu l ar ly o n account of the co nnex i on o f the subject with the re li gion o f h is cuuntry, whi c h did not b e l ong to his sphere, but to the sph ere o f t h e m i nisters of religion. He had also felt rel uctant on account of the ridicule which he knew would attach itself in the minds of many at the idea of connecting i l u n ac y o r madness with religious inter ference and nstructoni; but he hoped to prove, in the course of his observations, that thi s r idi cu l e was erroneous an d reprehensible. He felt himself to be so far far qualified to speak on th e su bj ect, as he had himself been practically acquainted sith it in all its bearings, having been unfortunately a fellow-sufferer with the unhappy persons w h ose cause he was about to advo cate. But it was especially that cause which had prom p ted him to come forward. H e h a d b een an eye-witness of the ill-treatment and sufferings they were compelled to endure, and because he knew these sufferings to be of at extreme rand real char acter, that he considered it to be a duty which he i owed to hi s f e ll ow creatures, to aid with all his powers n the exposure and remedy of I these abuses. . The lecturer then alluded to the Society lately insti tuted for the protection of the British subject from un lust confinement on account of mental derangement, which ASSIZEtN TELLIGENCE NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lanea.qer, Aug. 11. The assizes for the northern division of the county com menced here this day. Mr. Justice Cresswell sat on the civil, and Mr. Baron Rolfe on the criminal side. There are only five cases in the caler;dar. One prisoner stands charged with rape, and one with shooting at the Rev. Mr. Moore, at Preston, on the 2d of this mouth. On the civil side sixteen cases are entered for trial. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) The Court was engaged a great part of the day with the trial of a case of rape, w hich terminated in the acquittal of the prisoner. Richard Bennett was indicted for having at Preston dis charged a loaded pistol at the Rev. Richard Moore, with in ttnt to murder him. Mr. Huston conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Brandt. It appeared from the statement of the Rev. Mr. Moore, that he is the clergyman of Lund, and a magistrate for the county. Has been in the commission for many years. Lund is about two miles from Kirkham, where the prisoner resides, and about seven miles from Preston. The prisoner is a shoe- maker, and about two years ago was before the prosecutor on a charge which was di missed. On the 2(1 of the present month, the prosecutor was passing along Fishergate, in Preston, on his way to the Town-hall, when he heard the discharge of a pistol or a gun close to him, and was instantly enveloped in smoke. Immediately after some hard substance struck him on the breast. He looked round and saw the prisoner four or five yards off. He was endeavouring to get away, but staggered as if in great alarm. The prosecutor seized him, and a man came up at the moment and assisted in securing him. Witness said, " He has struck me," and the man replied, " He has shot at you," and produced a pistol he had picked up. The prisoner said nothing. John Harrison, the person who had picked up the pistol, stated that he was close to Mr. Moore's right hand when the pistol was fired. The prisoner pulled the pistol out of his pocket with his right hand, and fired it straight at Mr. Moore. He then flung the pistol at Mr. Moore, and it struck him on the breast. On cross-examination, the witness said that he was an old soldier, and that he thought had the pistol been properly loaded it must of necessity have hit Mr. Moore. Adam Capstick, who was also close to Mr. Moore when the shot was fired, said he thought he heard someting whiz past his head. Wm. Kirby also deposed to the fact of the prisoner firing the pistol. Robert Williams, a policeman, produced the pistol. It was a common screw-barrel pocket pistol. Witness had searched for traces of a ball, but could find none, There was, however, a low thatched building on the other side of the street a little further down, in which it might have lodged. On his examination before the magistrate the prisoner said, "He has accused me of a crime of which lam not guilty. I want to make it known." This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. BRA NDT addressed the jury for the defence, contending that there was no evidence that the pistol was loaded with any thing calculated to do grievous bodily harm, but, on the con trary, even in the case fur the prosecution, the testimony went to show that it could not have been so. Had the party had any serious intent to injure Mr. Moore—bad the pistol con tained a ball or any destructive material, the contents must in evitably have passed into the body of the prosecutor. He ap prehended there could be no question in the case, except as respected the common assault, of which, should the evidence establish it, the prisoner might be found guilty on this indict ment. Even as to that he (Mr. Brandt) had a case to set up, which he did with reluctance, but which he thought it his duty to lay before them. The evidence would show that the pri soner was a person of a very peculiar temperament, liable to fits of despondency and absence of mind, in which he wandered about in a state of apparent vacancy. He had written also a great number of letters to his attorney, bearing every mark of a disordered mind, and was, it would be proved beyond all doubt, frequently in a state in which he was not accountable for his actions, and which gave great alarm to his relatives and friends. Mr. Thomas Shaw, a surgeon at Kirkham, said he had known the prisoner seven or eight years. He was a person of very reserved manners, and frequently would net enter into conversation with any one. He seemed in a state of vacancy, and in the opinion of the witness was not at such times in his right mind. In the June of l as t year h e was qu i te i nsane . Witness attended bim about a week. He could not sleep. Witness saw him a day or two before this occurrence, and he then seemed not in his right mind. Andrew Lewis and Peter Barnett gave similar testimony. Mr. Robert Ascroft, an attorney at Preston, said that about two years ago he received three anonymous letters from the prisoner. They were destroyed. The contents of the first were— Sir,—l am going to put a ball through my thick head for a foolish thing I once did. I wish to know if you have any commands for the shades below." About six weeks after witness received another, which con tained simply— Who steals my purse steals trash." " SHAKESPEARE." The third was received some time after, and was as follows : " If you had a friend in whom you placed confidence, and who either deceived you or betrayed you, what would you do with him ?" Several other letters, of a similar nature, received lately, were produced and read. This was the case for the defence. His LORDSHIP summed up, a n d The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned their verdict, acquitting the prisoner absolutely of the felony, and acquitting him of the minor offence of assault on the ground of insanity. His LORDSHIP, after examining the Acts as to persons ac.• quitted on the ground of insanity, said he had some doubt whether they, or either of them, applied to a case like the present, where the prisoner was indicted for the felony, and acquitted of the minor charge only on th e groun d o f i nsan ity. He should, however, direct the prisoner to be kept in custody till her Majesty's pleasure should be known, and the question as to the construction of the Acts might be considered else where. On the civil side nothing of public interest occurred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAN SION- HO USE. The case relating to the tea warrants, which occupied a great deal of the Lord Mayor's time on Friday last, was further inquired into yesterday, but after much discussion between counsel employed upon both sides, was adjourned to this day. There were some remark able circumstances connected with the subject, which caused very intense interest ; but, for obvious reasons, we omit the report until the decision of the Lord Mayor shall have been declared. A woman named Ann recrun, who had the appearance of the wife of a decent tradesman, was brought before the Lord Mayor. It. Cobb (poli ceman N o. 658 ) state d, th a t as h e was walking along Wo rmwoo d- street h e sa w the d e f en d an t apparently i n great agony, rubbing her knee, at the step of the hall-door. She was very loud in her lamentation, and upon being questioned, said she had had a violent fall, and had sustained desperate mischief. Witness took her to the station house and caused her to be examined by a surgeon, who told her to rest a little and she would soon get over the injury, if she had been in jured. In the station-house she became, apparently, a greater object of compassion, for she complained of pains in both legs, and it was considered necessary to take her, on account of her agony, to the hospital. She became extremely violent upon the stretcher, but was at last de posited on a bed in the hospital, and examined by Mr. Travers, who, after due investigation, stated that nothing whatever was the matter with her, and signed at certifi cate to that effect, fia- the inspection of the magistrate before whom it might be considered necessary to take her. The Loan MAYOR—Y ,, u charge her, then, with being an impostor ?—The policeman .aid there was no doubt at all that she had complained of pain for tha purpose of exciting compassio n . She requ ,, sted that witness would allow her t go away, when she saw he was de termined upon inquiry, and there was reason to believe that she had been lately engaged in stripping children of the:r clothes in the unfrequented lanes and alleys. The prisoner said she had been attacked with violent pains in consequence of a fall she had had, and that she never had been guilty of deception or plunder of any kind.—She was remanded for a few days. GUILDHALL. THE. LATE EXTENSIV E ROBBERY ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday, Mr. chair, Maynard, an estate agent, of No. 10, Howland-street, Fitzroy-square, was brought before Alderman Hughes Hughes, for re-examination, charged with unlawfully attempting to take a reward on account of helping Mr. V. Prance, solicitor, residing at Bridgewater, to recover a writing-case, containing bills of exchange to the amount of 2,0001., which bad been stolen on the Great Western Railway the early part of tact month. Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Nask, from the firm of Swaim!, Stevens, and Co., solicitors to the railway, appeared to con duct the prosecution, and Mr. Humphreys defended the prisoner. On the 7th ult., a Mr. Prance, solicitor, residing at Nether Stowey, near Bridgewater, was a passenger from London by the Great Western Railway, and he delivered bia luggage to ta f l arin g !won first imported into such British possession ft () ; country of its growth, the luties following, that is to 112: White-clayed sugar, or sugar rendered by any WO - equal in quality to white-clayed, not being I 8 refined, for every hundred weight Brown sugar, being Muscovado or clayed, or any other sugar, not being in quality equal to white- 3 1 clayed, for every hundred weight .......... .. 1 1 ,01 1 And whereas by the said Act it is further en acted, 1 , ‘ ",01 shall be lawful for her Majesty, from time to tim e, I 'Y 01 order or orders in Council, to declare, with respect te to to foreign country or countries, that it having appeare d o ar Majesty, upon sufficient evidence, that the sugars of soch'l try or countries are not the produce of slave labour, de l) suc bl i shall (from and after a day to be named in such 0,,,, deemed and taken not to be the produce of slave labour4o, from and after the day se to be named in such order, the peor Muscovado, or clayed sugar (not being refined), o f tb , c is oli i try or countries mentioned in such order, shall be I,6°', ies` to entry for home consumption at the said respective de` ~ , e 1/.
