If some remedies were not adopted, fevers of the 4.2 t worst kind would infest the country, and spare neither rich nor poor ; therefore, if all men, of all ranks and politics., did not join hand in band to avert the impending calamity, it would be their own faults.—(Cheers.) And 'the sooner a Committee was formed to wait upon the Government the better, for a plan should he at once adopted for immediate ac- tion.—(Hear, and applause.) Mr. HENRY GRATTAN, M.P., agreed with his friend, Mr. O'Connell, as to the necessity of immediate action ; and called upon the Government to hold a meeting of the Privy Council on the following day (to-morrow) to stop distillation and exportation, and to do everything in their power to provide for the famine which the country was threatened with.—(Hear.) Mr. P. MAIIONY next addressed the meeting, and referred to the report of the Drainage Commissioners to Parliament, laid upon the table of the House if Commons in July last. He said that it appeared by it that 4,200,000 acres of unre claimed land could he reclaimed for 750,000/. ; and he stated ; that the Government could not follow a better course than to advauce money to give employment, and improve the coun try at the same time.—(Hear..) The learned pentleman then proposed a resolution embodying his suggestions, similar to to one adopted by the Royal Agriculturiil Society on the pre vious day, and suggested that it should be presented by the Committee that would be appointed to wait on his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant when the deputation attended at the Castle. The Duke of LEINsTEn said that his motive in coming for ward to attend that meeting was not for the purpose of al leging that the Government were not doing all in their power to provide for the impending calamity which it was feared would befal their country—(Hear, hear)—but to join with his fellow-citizens of all classes to make arrangements for the support of the poor. He did not even come there to make a speech as to the state of the patato crop in his county, but to propose something at once, in order to have every means adopted to feed the poor in case of a famine coming upon the land.— (Hear, hear.) He would, therefore, move that the following gentlemen should be added to the Man sion-house Committee to wait on the Lord-Lieutenant on the following day :—Lord Cloncurry, Mr. Richard O'Gor man, Mr. J. Classon, Mr. Henry Grattan, M.P., Mr. J. Perry, T. C., Mr. Pierce Mahonv, Sir James Murray, Mr. J. A. O'Neill, Mr. T. M. Gresham, Admiral Oliver, Dr. Gray, the Rev. Mesars. Young, Courtney, Smith, and Yore, add himself.—(Hear, and cheers.) Mr. O'CoNNEta. suggested that the Committee should wait on his Excellency at 3'oelock oa the following day, and meet at the Mansion-house at 12 to consider the best mode fur them to adopt. Mr. J. A. O'NEILL said he would recommend the holding of simultaneons meetings throughout the country, so as to have reports from all quarters to lay before the Government in a f.-ey clays as to the state of the disease in each locality. • —(Hear.) - . Admiral OLIVER next addressed the meeting. and re .quested that his name should be erased from the Committee. • as he did not feel competent to act; he was. however, com petent to give advice, and he would do so.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen had referred to fands out of which they pro :.,"'pOsed to raise money to purchase food for the po o r , b u t he - 'would suggest the application of another fund—the repeal fund—to that purpose.—(Loud cries of " Order, order," and " Put him out." Mr. O'CoNxELL—How much did the Gallant Admiral sub scribe to that fund ?—(Laughter.) Admiral OLIVER—My Lord,—(Shouts of "Order," and "Sit down.") Mr. P. CosTELto—My Lord Mayor, I must call this per son to order; It is highly disgraceful for any man to obtrude political questions upon such an assembly, and I hope and respectfully call upon your Lordship to call him to order. Admiral OLIVER—I again repeat, my Lord Mayor, that the repeal fund is the fund.—(Loud cries of "Order," " Sit down," " Put him out," &c.) Mr. Dixos. - -No politics, Sir—sit down.—(Cheers.) Admiral OLIVER—There are no polities in it. It is only the repeal fund I am talking of —(Tremendous uproar, and cries of " Order.") The LORD MAYOR—Admiral, I cannot allow you to inter rupt this meeting; you must sit clown or leave it.—(" Hear," and cries of " Put him out.") Admiral OLIVER—The repeal fund, I say— Mr. O'CoxNELL—My Lord Mayor, ask the Gallant Mini mal how much he subscribed to that fund, for he shall have every penny he gave returned to him.—(Hear, and laughter.) Admiral - OLIVER—I will not say a word more. I have had my say; I am knocked down, and can tire no more broad sides.—(Hear, and laughter, and cries of "Put him out.") Lord CLONCURRY having seconded Gut appointment of the Committee, the resolution passed, and it was arranged that the members of it should meet at the Mansion-house at twelve o'clock, to prepare for the interview with his Excel lency at three. Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting, all of whom corroborated the previous speakers as to the disease being general, after which Mr. O'Connell was called to the chair. and the meeting adjourned to Tuesday next, at two o'clock, to receive the report of the Committee. Government, in the meantime, are taking further active steps to mitigate the impending calamity. The cork .Reporter of yesterday (Thursday) contains the following important announcement:— " Orders were this day received at the Cork Custom-house directing returns to be - forwarded to the Castle, Dublin, set ting forth the quantity of potatoes shipped from this and all the outports of the district since the Ist of September last ; and also directing that returns should be made every Satur , day of the quantities exported during the week—distinguish ing, in all cases, those shipped to England, coastways, and to other places. This looks as if some step to prevent the exportation of the people's food was in contemplation." An influential meeting was held in Cavan on Wednes day last, at which Lord Farnham presided, for the pur pose of devising means for preserving the crop from further injury; and also with a view of explaining to the peasantry the means whereby diseased potatoes can, by admixture with other substances, be converted into wholesome and nutritious food. One of the speakers, Dr. Charles Halpin, strongly objected to some of the recommendations put forth in the first report of the Go- vernment Commissioners. which, he contended, embodied several glaring errors, such, for instance, as advising the potatoes, if planted in a dry soil, and the weather fine, to be left in the ground for the present; and again, that should the weather be bad and the soil wet, they should be dug out immediately, the consequence of which he asserted would be to e. divert them into a rotten heap in less than a week. The meeting , having been subse quently addressed by the Right ,'" Rev. Dr. Browne, Ro man Catholic Bishop of Kilmore, and several other gen tlemen, it, was ultimately resolved that an adjournment to that day three weds: should take place, in order to afford time for testing the various experiments that had been submitted in the course of the proceedings. PRIVY COUNCIL. - NOVEMBER 1.-A.Privy Council assembled at the Castle at. four o'clock this afternoon, and sat in delibera tion for about three-quarters of an hour. The object of the meeting has not transpired; but it is supposed that it relates to the condition of the potato crop, and with a view or taking into consideration the various suggestions upon the subject which have been laid before Govern ment during the present week. DEPUTATION TO THE CASTLE. Yesterday, at four o'clock P.NI., a deputation from the Royal Agricultural Society waited upon the Chief Secretary, Sir Thomas Fremantle, to communicate to him their views respecting the present condition of the country and the means which should be adopted to avert the threatened scarcity. The deputation was named on the motion of Mr. Mahouy, at a meeting of the council of the Society on the previous day, of which the above is a report, and the laws of tie, society were relaxed to permit the resolution then adopted to be submitted toethe .conaeil Thtideplltlion. consisted of the fielpessiug gentlemen :—Mr. G. A. Hamilton, M.P., Chairmep ; Mr. Blaney Wade, Mr. Lambert, Beau pare; Mr. Armstrong, Callum; and Mr. Pierce Mahony; Griastaecoa. • ~ T he,,eteetleg • of the council! of the 50.., .., liety from ;which • this , deputation emanated was. at-. .1 tentie4.l by thirty ..nseuabers,, whom ,it immediately re preeented, as mediately it represented the Irish. landlords who compose the society. The names of the gentlemen who composed the meeting of the council were communicated by the deputation to Sir Thomas frementle. , The unanimity of the meeting by which. the deputation was- appointed gave their repreeentation.e additional. importance. The Chief Se cretary received the gentlemen with great courtesy and frankness, and they remained in communication with the Right Hon. Baronet from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock P. 31. Mr. HAMILTON and Mr. MAllwr, on the part of the depu tation, as well as other gentlemen, having submitted the. drainage plan they recommended, impressed on Sir Thomas Fremantle with great seriousness the view that they repu diated strongly all contemplation of eleemosynary relief for their countrymen, and that Irishmen would repudiate relief of such a nature. The country had resources sufficient to meet the evil, and through the development of those resources only did they desire that relief should conic. They impressed on him, the circumstance that this, their view, was strengthened by the concurrence of the Royal Agricultural' Society, consisting of members of all creeds and parties, as well as by the declara tions of the meeting of the citizens of Dublin held that day—all joined in the expression of that opinion. This con currence of parties, in the Society and among the citizens, was sufficient to justify the deputation in assuring Sir Thomas Fremantle that the Government would receive an united and national support in any measures they thought fit to recom mend ti,r the protection of the people against disease and famine, and they assured the Chief Secretary at the same time that for that protection their countrymen should give their labour. That labour should be applied to the perma nent improvement of the country. Nothing was so repug nant to the Irishman—the Peer or the peasant—as receiving gratuities under any form or under any terms. The de putation further stated that they asked for no grant—that they needed no grant. All they required was the aid and use of the fair credit to which Ireland was entitled; and they were willing that the expenditure they recommended—the expenditure for local and general employment, under the existing necessities of the country—should be fully repaid • by those portions of the country permanently benefited by the expenditure. In short, they wanted the resources of' lieland to be brought let° action for Ireland's relief. They arcked no boon for peasant or landlord, but they called on the Government to conduct the general drainage principle on their responsibility, because the national benefits which must result would Le immense, as was developed in the third re port of the Drainage Commissioners, presented to Parliament in July last—a report, by the way, prepared without the re motest reference to the impending evil. Moreover, the de putation strongly enforced the necessity of taking measures f or this purpose, and thus meeting impending evils by bold, prompt, and decided measures, regardless of the oppoeition of ignorant or selfish landlords, who might oppose the measures recommended by the deputation, always hearing in mind that while property had its rights it also had its duties. Sir Thomas Fremantle received the representations of the • deputation, not merely,in the most courteous, but in the most favourable manner, and the gentlemen parted with him under the strong impression that he considered their proposal the most practicable as well' as the most suitable which had up to the present reached the Government ; at. the same time, the Right Hon Baronet did not pledge himself to details. It is due from ne to state, as public Journalists, that from all we have heard, each member of the deputation retired with ••• the conviction that the Government had determined to ward • off famine and disease at every cost and risk, by means of provision for the employment of the people, the necessary funds for the accomplishment of this object to be, however, e' 'repaid by the landlords or communities who shall be espe daily benefited by the expenditure. •• s The following appears in the Evening Freeman saw 3 4 . 1 , " This day the two Committees, the one appointed by the oe net eaoporation and the other appointed yesterday - by the meet in* of the citizens, assembled at the Mansion -house.

O'Neil, and about twenty other members were present. ' " We understand that a communication was read by the Lord Mayor from his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, stat ing that there being a meeting of the Privy Council he could not receive the deputation to-day, and expressing his anxiety to be informed, after the Committee had deliberated, the steps they would recommend. " The Cominittee sat for several hours and agreed to reso lutions calling on his Excellency To open the ports for the importation of food. " To close the ports against the export of oats. " To establish public granaries, and provide employment for the people. " To raise a loan of 1,000,0001., to be secured on the revenue of the Irish Woods and Forests Department, and to consider the question of stopping distillation. "The resolutions were this evening forwarded to his Ex cellency. and we were informed that he had been pleased to fix Monday, at three o'clock, for meeting the deputation. " Rise in the Sugar Market.—A great rise in the market took place to-day, owing to the purchase last night, by the Messrs. Roe, distillers, of about 500 hogsheads of sugar, as is supposed for distilling purposes. The prices have risen from 4s. to ss. per cwt. to -day." MORE III:00D IN TIPPERARY. The North Riding papers of yesterday being the horrifying intelligence of the aseaseination, in open day, of Mr. Patrick Clarke, a gentleman of extensive property, and late of the firm of Clarke and Vincent, solicitors and land-agents, of Iklerrion- square in this city. The particulars are thus given in the Nenagh Guardian : "One of the most daring and. cold-blooded murders com mitted in this county since the double slaughter at Finnoe it now becomes our sad and painful duty to record in the murder of the above-named gentleman. As we were pre paring for press (Friday afternoon) Nenagh was thrown into a slate of alarm by Mr. Clarke's servant galloping furiously into town, with the sad intelligence that his master hadbeen shot dead. We instantly proceeded to South-bill, about a mile and a half from Nenagh, and there beheld a scene har rowing to the feelings of all, except to such demons as are ever ready to imbrue their hands in blood. It appears that Mr. Clarke was riding round his own demesne, and had been visiting masons and other men who were at work for him, and when on his return to the house, about 2 o'clock, two men ap proached him behind a ditch, and shot him through the head, the ball and slugs entering the very centre of the forehead, scattering his brains in all directions. One of the women servants was in front of the house, and saw the riderless horse at the gate, when, search being made, the lifeless body of the lamented gentleman was discovered in a pool of blood. Mr. Clarke, who was about 55 years of age, was highly esteemed by all who knew him as a kind, affable, and courteous man, giving extensive employment, and making improvements under his own personal inspection. He was brother of Mr. Charles Clarke, justice of the peace, Holy-cross, andMr.Robert Clarke, and was partner and father-in-law of Mr. John Vincent, of Leeson-street, Dublin. We cannot do the memory of one so well esteemed justice in this brief and hurried account of bis untimely fate, familiar as we are with scenes of blood, habi tuated to acts of murder by our almost daily attendance at inquests of men cut off by the ruthless hand of the assassin, yet here, in this instance, where we have seen one whom we knew so well, and could call friend for many years' cut off from all, the heart sickens, and we turn in anguish from the task. Sub- Inspector O'Dell, with Head-Constable Hayes and a large police force, was almost immediately at the scene of murder, using every exertion to detect the perpetrators. Mr. O'Dell dispatched detachments of his men in different directions, so that within an hour after the perpetration of the deed the surrounding country was traversed in all quarters. This daring act was committed, as we have above stated, at two o'clock in the day, in a populous district, where in every field around men were engaged at labour. An inquest will be held this day (Saturday), which will be given in our next." The repeal local organ, it will be seen, endeavours to palliate the atrocity of the crime by imputing harsh conduct on the part of this, the last victim of Tipperary Thuggish), towards his tenantry : " Mr. Clarke," says the Vindicator, " held considerable property at Portarlington. and he had a mansion in Mer rion-square also. He was esteemed a very wealthy gentle man. It is impossible just now to assign a cause for the perpetration of this deed of blood. The alarm was imme diately given, and the police from Nenagh, and the sur rounding districts, were quickly on the spot- Whilst we write the utmost activity prevails to discover the perpetrator of the deed. Since the above was put in type our reporter has returned from the scene. Two balls were driven through the ill-fated gentleman's head, and he expired immediately. We have heard that he had been compelling tenants to sell corn a few minutes before the murder, and that he was an exceedingly harsh and unrelenting person in his conduct to wards the people generally. Two men were seen crossing the country immediately after the deed ; but no clue up to the time of our going to press had been discovered of the per petrators." Such hearsay statements nit are put forward in the foregoing, and while the body of the victim was yet warm with his blood, might, in common decency, he postponed to some more fitting opportunity. If harsh ness, even the most gross (and in this unfortunate gen tleman's case the Vindicator's information is only secondhand), is to be the ready apology for the aim of the assassin's bullet, Tipperary may long maintain its had pre-eminence as the Irish Aceldarna._ LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3. This being the first day of Michaelmas term, the Lord Chancellor, after 'entertaining the Judges, Masters in Chan cery, Queen's Counsel, &c., to breakfast, at his Lordship's residence, George-street, Hanover-square, took his seat in his Court at Westminster ,at half-past one o'clock. His Lord ship was accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice- Chancellor of England, the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, and Masters Farrar and Sir George Rose. time he saw Maynard and Garratt together was on the 27th of May. This concluded the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the prisoner in an elaborate speech, contending that there was no evidence to show that the prisoner had been actuated by guilts , inten tions, or had anything whatever to do with the robbery of the property in question. He contended the prisoner had been most unfaisly treated by the Great Western Company, as represented by Mr. Nash, who had done everything in his power to get up a case against him, by extorting admissions from him during several conversations, on the understanding that they should be private, but which were now brought publicly forward against the prisoner. It was an un-English and illegal attempt to crush a man who had placed himself within their power. The evidence only showed he had acted as the agent of Garrett, but no guilty intention had been proved. Whatever shuffling Maynard had shown, might naturally have proceeded from a desire to act in the best manner for the interest of his client, with out any relation as to the articles having been stolen. That he could not have any intention of appropriating the property to his own use was shown by the fact, that not the least evidence was adduced to prove the property was ever in his possession, or that he did anything but act as agent for a party, who stated that he had found a certain article and wished the prisoner to negotiate its return for a certain amount of money. He fulfilled his agency, and nothing more. He left the matter in the hands cf the jury, hoping they would consider the whole question, and upon the evi dence before them decide whether or no the prisoner know ingly was a party to a felonious transaction, and give a ver dict accordingly. The Common SERGEANT summed up the evidence very minutely, instructing the jury that the real point they had to consider, was, did the prisoner Maynard receive the property into his possession with the knowledge that it was stolen. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty of receiving the goods in question with the know ledge of their being stolen. The clerk of the Court then put in previous convictions of felony against the prisoner, one being that of bigamy on the 29th of May, in the 56th year of his late Majesty Geo. 111., and another in 1816, under the name of Charles Gregory, of sealing property of the value of 355. from his master. The COMMON 'SERGEANT, addressing the prisoner Garrett, said—You have been convicted upon your own admission ot a serious felony. The rule is, and I hold it to be a right one, to protect public companies and the public from the commission of such offences as that to which you have pleaded guilty. The sentence upon you is, that you be transported for the term of seven years. The COMMON SERGEANT was then proceeding to address the prisoner Maynard, when the latter said he wished to make a few observations to correct a misrepresentation that had gone abroad respecting him. He had been charged with knowing that the property was stolen. Such was not the fact. It was also stated that he knew of other parties who had been concerned in stealing property from the Great Western Company. This he denied. He never had had a transaction with any party but the one, and he was not aware then of any felony being committed. Had he known the parties referred to, on public grounds he would have given them up. The COMMON SERGEANT—The jury have come to a dif ferent conclusion to that which you have stated. I have no doubt in my mind that you had a full knowledge at the time that the property which you was negotiating was stolen from the various railways. The sentence of the Court upon you is, that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of fourteen years. Shortly after the removal of Maynard from the bar, the prisoner • Garratt was ordered to be brought up again on the other indictments, to which he had pleaded Guilty. COMMON SERGEANT (to the prisoner)—There are six cases against you to which you have pleaded guilty. It is not my intention to pass any further sentence upon The except in the case of the robbery of M. Winter. The sentence is, therefore, that you be transported for the term of seven years, to commence at the conclusion of your former sentence of seven years—making in all a term of fourteen years. The pri-oner made no remark, but bowed to the Court, and quickly retired from the dock. During the progress of the case the following confession of the prisoner Garratt, was produced : " Prison of Newgate, Oct. 31, 1845. " I feel it to be useless to make any attempt to defend myself against these cases, and I desire to plead Guilty, al.. though I did not myself take some of the luggage produced against me, but they came to me afterwards (for in stance Dr. Daniels' on the Great Western I did not have for some period after the time it is stated they were lost, as I had explained to Mr. Nash). I regret that I was, in the moment of inebriation tempted to embark in so dishonest a traf fic, hut the first temptation having succeeded I could only go on, and to the habits of drinking do I attnbute my first step, for it was only when elevated with liquor that I was tempted to meddle in these matters. But I beg to appeal to those kind noblemen and gentlemen with whom I for years lived, and some of whom are on the Bench and in the Court, as to my general character as a servant. Some of their testi monials are in the possession of Mr. Nash, who I believe has ascertained that I bore the highest character. " Notwithstanding the extent of these matters, I am left without a shilling; my thoughtless and careless habits, my love of dress and drink have brought me to this, and those that have led me into it from an industrious course of life, have the reflection of doing so, and then leaving me without even contributing one shilling to defend one whose purse and liberal treatment (even to foolishness), they always experienced; and I leave them with that re flection on themselves, and on the insincerity of human na ture in the hour of need and peril to which they contributed. Had I followed the advice and example of my present wife, I should now be a respectable member of society; to her I shall always feel great respect (though 1 have deeply injured her, who is a,n innocent sufferer) ; and to the. Governor of New gate, and Mr. Nash, and my attorney, I tender my thanks for their kind consideration to her and my feelings in the discharge of their duty to the public, and to the Companies whom Mr. Nash represents. " D. GARRATT." Mr. Rice were, ' l l told him to sell the things that he mlht get one or two pounds for himself. Why did you not say this before the magistrate?--I was not before the magis trate. Did you never state this till now ?—I do not know that I said it before. I made deposition before the clerk — was sworn, and the deposition was read over, but the magis trate was not present when I signed the deposition. Rice said nothing about fixtures. George Dalton is a servant to the prosecutor. I was sent to pack up some tools in the back shop, and did so, but had no co•reersation with the prisoner. Cross-examined—The door was not locked. I recollect nothing about the prisoner's going into the house. John Purser, a constable, apprehended the prisoner, who said the prosecutor had no claim upon trim. Cross-examined by defendant's Counsel—That he had no claim on him except the rent ?—No ; said nothing about the rent. I never carried any message between Rice and Barnett. I did not request Barnett not to tell that Rice had said so-and so. (Barnett here identified the witness as the same Old brought the message from Rice.) Witness—l never did carry such a message. I did go to B.antett's on Thursday week. I did not say this before because I forgot. I went to tell him to be at the Court next morning, and said nothing at all about not telling this or that. Mr. Rice never gave me a message to take to Barnett. Never got any instructions to that effect from Mr. Rice. Mr. Rice, in the witness-box--I did not send any message to Mr. Barnett. The ptisoner's counsel had now addressed the jury, and the Learned Commissioner sent the point to the jury, whether the prisoner had obtained possession of the key with a felonious intent, for failing that, it was not a case for a Criminal Court. The jury had found the prisoner guilty, when the defendant's counsel interfered with the recording of the sentence, and informed his Lordship and the jury that very important evidence, of the existence of which he had no instructions, had just come to his knowledge, and requested it might yet be allowed to go before the jury. This was granted. John Dove was' called in to the witness-box—l live at 44, Lant-street, Borough. I called at Cresswell's house one morning in the month of May. Rice, with his foot man, drove up in a gig. Mr. Rice came into the bar, and said to Cresswell—" Have you sold these things yet ?" Prisoner' said, "No, not yet." " I wish you would." Prisoner.—" I had an offer for them yes terday. I could have got half in money and half in goods." Rice—" What goods?" Prisoner—" Coppers." Rice—" I wish you could sell them, do your best; good morning." Witness—l think the amount of the offer was 12/. 12s. On being cross-examined, the witness added one or two words to his former statement; he identified Mr. Rice as the person. Mr. Rice was again called, and placed in the witness• box and sworn—He had a gig, but had not used it in the month of May; but on being cross-examined he hesitated on this point, and his servant when called could not help him. Rice positively denied having said anything of the kind to Cresswell, and had never eeen the witness before. The case again went to the jury, but in a different view. The question they now had to try was whether the prisoner had had permission to sell the goods, which was decided in the negative, and he was sentenced to twelve months' :mprisonment and hard labour. The following are the days fixed by the Judges for the terms of the Court during the ensuing Mayoralty : December 15; January 8; February 2; March 30; May 4; June 15 ; July 6 ; August 7 ; September 21; October 26. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MARLBORoUGH-S7'REET. James Noon, a sturdy ruffianly-looking young fellow, was charged with feloniously assaulting, in Oxford-street, Mr. Desire Sayolle, of No. 3, - Winsley-street, Oxford-market, and stealing from his person a gold watch and appendages. , It appeared that between three and four o'clock on Sunday morning the prosecutor was walking arm-in-arm with the wife of an acquaintance of his, whom he was seeing home, when at the corner of Chapel-street, Soho, the prisoner sud denly came up in front of him, and pointing to the female, said apparently in a great rage, " What are you doing with my wife at this late hour ?" At the'same instant he made a violent snatch at the prosecutor's guard chain, and tore his watch from his waistcoat pocket, and directly set off run ning. The prosecutor followed, calling " Stop thief !" and Alfred Mitchell, 25 C, having joined in the pursuit, saw the prisoner as he turned into Newman-street drop something down the area of Mr. Holderness, No. 1, pianoforte manu facturer. Just at that time the la , osecutor came up with the prisoner, and pushing him down held him until he was secured by the police. The constable afterwards found the watch very much smashed in the area. • Mr. 3.IALTBY asked if the prisoner was known ?—The police present said he was not to them. Mr. MALTBY asked him what lie had to say in answer to the charge?--The prisoner said the watch was handed to him by the female the prosecutor was with, who told him to make • off with it. No attention was of course paid to such a defence, and the prisoner was ordered to be committed for trial. MANN V. lIICIEETTf, ....._... _. __ This appeal motion, on the application of counsel, WM ordered to stand for hearing on Thursday week. COULSTIIPS6 r. COULSTRING. This was an appeal motion, ex parte, from the judgment of the Master of the Rolls refusing to grant an application on the part of a married woman to sue in forma pauperis. The application was made on the ground of separation. The case was ordered to stand over till to-morrow. It was expected that his Lordship would have risen at two o'clock to attend a Cabinet Council. VIOE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, IVov. 3. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England did not sit to day till half-past one o'clock, it being the first dayof Michael mas Term. His Honour took motions. In the courre of the morning Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. Montague Chambers were called within the bar. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 3. The Learned Baron entered the Court at half-past one o'clock. TILE QUEEN'S COUNSEL. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. M. Chambers, of the common law bar, having appeared on the floor of the Court the Chief Baron called upon them severally to take their seats within the bar, her MN( sty having been most graciously pleased to appoint them to the dignity and station of Queen's Counsel. LOCKHART V. BERNARD. Mr. Sergeant BYLES --- in thisQ;;; which was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson at the late assizes for the county of Bedford, and a verdict found for the de fendant, he had to move for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff with 1001. damages. He moved upon points which were re served to him by the Learned Judge who tried the cause. The declaration being in assumpsit stated, that the defendant caused to be printed and published a certain advertisement, setting forth that a certain parcel, contaiaing bank-notes and bills of exchange, which had been forwarded to Sir Charles Price and Company, bad been either lost or stolen ; and the defendant, by that advertisement, promised that whoever would give such information as should lead is the im mediate recovery of the parcel, or to the early apprehension of the guilty party, if stolen, should receive the reward of 1001. The declaration then went on to say, that the plaintiff did give such information, and the defendant thereby became liabl to the extent of 100/. ; and concluded by alleging, a breach of the promise in the advertisement. The de fendant to that declaration pleaded non-assumpsit, and that the plaintiff did not give the information, and the jury found for the plaintiff on the first issue, and for the defendant on the second. The facts of the case were shortly these :—Bernard, the defendant, was a banker at Bedford, and in September, 1840, he sent up a parcel by the Times coach, from Bedford, containing bills and bank notes, being of the value of 1,0001. and upwards. In the course of its transit to Sir Charles Price and Co., Mr. Bernard's agent in London, the parcel was lost; and, in consequence, on the 27th of September, Mr. Bernard published a hand-bill, and that hand-bill contained the offer of 100/. to any person who should give such informa mation as should lead to the immediate recovery of the parcel if lost, or to the early apprehension of the guilty party i stolen. It appeared that shortly after this a person of the name of Richards came into the shop of the plaintiff, who was a draper and general dealer at Dunstable, in the county of Bedford, and asked for some lady's stockings. The goods were supplied to him, and he tendered a 101. note in payment. Now the conduct of this person excited the suspicion of Lockhart, and in consequence of that suspicion he went to a person named Cheshire, another shopkeeper in Dunstable, and mentioned the circumstance to him. It then turned out that Cheshire had received a 101. note from the same person, and . . under almost precisely similar circumstances.. The two ac cordingly went together and gave information to the Dun stable constable, and eventually Richardson was arrested while in bed at one of the local iur.s, and subsequently tried at the Dunstable sekliions, found guilty, and transported, for being concerned in stealing Mt. Bernard's parcel. The plain tiff then made application for the reward, but it. was refused, and the result was the present action. On the trial, however, of the cause the jury returned a ver dict for the defendant; on the ground that the information was not given by Lockhart alone but jointly with another per son. and, therefore, Cheshire and Lockhart ought to have joined in the action. He (Mr. Sergeant Byles) however contended that Lockhart gave the information individually, and consequently he had to move that the verdict be set aside and a verdict be entered for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages. The Court confirmed the verdict of the jury, and argued that the action ought to have been brought jointly by Lock hart and Cheshire.—Rule refused. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) THE RAILWAY ROBBERIES. On the opening of the Court this morning, Charles May nard, alias Charles Gregory Maynard, 47, house agent, was placed pt the bar on the charge of felony. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Ballantine for the defence. The prisoner was indicted on several counts ; with stealing a writing desk containing a sum of gad and several pro missory notes, belonging to Mr. Prance, solicitor, Bridge water; also with receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen; and likewise with being an accessory after the fact. Mr. CLARKSON opened the case on behalfof the prosecution going at some length over the points he intended to establish in evidence. He said it was his intention by the - witnesses be intended to adduce, to show that the prisoner Maynard was in league with the prisoner Garrett, who had pleaded to the charges of felony preferred against him ; and that the former was a party cognizant of the felonious trans actions of the latter. The Learned Counsel then called the attention of the jury to the case he was now about to estab lish against the prisoner, namely, that preferred by Mr. Prance, solicitor, Bridgewater. It was that of stealing, or being a receiver after it was stolen, well knowing it to be such, of a writing-desk, containing a sum of money and six promissory notes, the property of the prosecutor in question. The Learned Gentleman then recapitulated the leading cir cumstances already familiar to the public through the lengthened police examinations at the Guildhall, respecting the letters to Mr. Prance, supposed to have been written by Garrett at the dictation of Maynard; the steps taken by Nash to inculpate the prisoner; the examination of the lodgings of both prisoners; the discovery of the short-hand notes, &c., on Maynard's premises, deciphered by Mr. Gregory, and found to correspond with those letters sent through the post-office to Mr. Prance, offering to negotiate for the return of the property. Mr. Prance, solicitor, examined—Deposed to having been a passenger on the Great Western Railway from Bridge water to Paddington on the Bth day of July last. He had a writing desk with him, which he saw labelled and placed on the truck. It contained ten sovereigns, and six pro missory notes, and property, in value near to 2,0001. Ile missed it on his anival at the Paddington, station. The desk now produced was the one he lost. On his return to Bridgewater he received a letter through the post- office, with the London Cavendish-street post-mark on it, stating that the writing-desk of witness, with the property contained in it was safe, and wishing to negotiate through an agent for the return of the property in question. The other letters re ceived by witness in the same handwriting, were here also put in an read. The Hon. Edward Petre was called and gave evidence — That to the best of his ability the handwriting of the several letters produced was, that:of the prisoner Garratt. He had been in his services prior to 1838, and was familiar with his handwriting. Mr. Prance resumed. In conseqnerce of these letters he applied to the GrealArieterti CoMpaelyr • 'Mr. Collated,' superintendent of police at the Great Western statical,"eszarnted.—Said - tre found certain short-hand notes now produded - in Court on' the person of the prisoner Maynard. • Henry Gregory, short-hand writer, said the short-hand notes produced were put into his hand to decipher by Mr. Nash, the solicitor, about two months ago. The contents were the same as the first letter read. The system of short s hand used was Gurney's. Mr. Nash examined—Was present when the document de ciphered by the last witness was found on the prisoner May nard. Several scraps of paper were also found in the grate of Maynard's house, which, when put together, formed a pre cise copy of the short-hand notes and the firseletter received by Mr. Prance. "The Court rose for a short time, the Common Sergeant and Mr. Alderman Copeland, who was also on the Bench, having been called on to meet the Judges to arrange the terms for the ensuing mayoralty, Mr. Alderman COPELAND, on rising to retire said he wished to mention the case of a boy who was tried last week, Ed ward Adolphus Hughes, aged sixteen, and whose case excited a good deal of commiseration. He was without parents or relations, and had no one to look to for guidance or support, circumstances which were aggravated by his being of rather weak intellect. The boy had been acquitted, but he had since been maintained in gaol till steps could be taken in his case. The parish authorities of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, had been applied to on his behalf, but an answer had been received declining doing anything whatever in the case. Thus the benevolent intention of the judges, the jury, and others who had commiserated his case were entirely frustrated. He stated this fact that publicity might be given to the matter. Qn the return of the Common Sergeant the examination of witnesses in Maynard's case was resumed. Mr. Prance's examination resumed—From the letters he had received, and the advertisement that appeared in the Times, he consulted with Mr. Nash, and an arrangement was made for an interview with the prisoner. One of these took place in company with Mr. Nash, in the Guildhall Coffee house.' Witness asked the prisoner then in the course of the conversation that ensued, if there were not 10 sovereigns in it? and he replied, Yes. Witness inquired how he came by the desk? and his answer was, that his principal had stumbled over it in the road. Witness's name was on many documents contained in the desk. He told Maynard there was no use in saying the desk had been found, as he must be aware it was stolen. An arrangement was closed on which the desk was to be returned on the payment of 251. A docu ment was drawn up, and at the suggestion of the prisoner several words respecting the property being stolen were struck out. Mr. BALLANTINE cross-examined the witness at some length without affecting in any material the examination in chief. Mr. Nash, solicitor, deposed that, on the 2d of August, he met with the prisoner Maynard, and had several interviews with him afterwards respecting the retunt of Mr. Prance's property. Witness here detailed what took place at these interviews that led to the apprehension of the prisoner, the particulars of which have been already fully published. The leading point was the prisoner's admission of having written down!in short-hand at the declaration of his principal the terms in which the property was to be returned. As far as witness could judge, the short-hand notes were in terms the same as those produced to-day. tip to the time that Maynard was given in custody he had no suspicion of his having any connexion with Garratt. Mr. Collard, superintendent of police at the Great Western station, gave evidence as to having searched Maynard's house and person, and finding certain documents produced. One of them, a diary, showed that a connexion existed for a long time between Garrett and the prisoner. The documents consit of daily memoranda, in which the name of Garrett, in relation to business :transactions with the prisonere;ontinually appears. Part of the diary is written in short-hand, espe cially the name of Garrett, after the beginning ofJuly. Elizabeth Ludetnan, of New-street, Edgeware-road, de posed that the prisoner Garrett lodged at her father's, and that Maynard had often called to see the former there. They appeared to be very well acquainted. Mr. Roberts, landlord of the Dolphin, Oxford-street, gave evidence to the same effect. He had often seen them together at his house. Garrett, up to the end of July last, lodged at his hour. Hfs had been a lodger tkre =Min. Tin lad OPENING OF THE PORTS. The Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of this town forwarded, on the 92d ultimo, a memorial, of which the fol lowing is a copy, to Sir Robert Peel, as First Lord of the Treasury. We subjoin also the Right Hon. Baronet's reply : " TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P., FIRST . . LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY, &C. &C. " The memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Com merce and Manufactures, at Manchester, " Sheweth—That long experience has taught your me morialists that the prosperity of the cotton trade mainly de pends upon the price of food, that an abundant and cheap supply of the first necessaries of life has never failed to be coincident with increased employment and a higher rate of wages, whilst dearness and scarcity of provisions have as in variably been attended with a diminished demand for labour, and a reduction of the earnings of the working classes. " That the cost of wheaten flour and oatmeal has risen 50 per cent. within a few months, and the price of potatoes is kept down only by the eagerness with which the growers force them upon the market, on account of their inferior quality, and from a fear that they will decay; but this in creases the danger of future deficiency • whilst the reported failure of the crop in many parts of Ireland adds a fearful gloom over the prospects of that portion of the empire, in whose fate this country is indissoluby involved. From these facts your memorialists fear that a period of scarcity and privation is impending, which may endanger the well being of this district, and subject the surrounding population to a repetition of those sufferings from which they have so recently emerged. "That, under these circumstances, your memorialists beg leave respectfully to urge upon your attention the necessity of devising some means for securing a sufficient supply of food for the people. In the opinion' of your memorialists, often expressed to the Government and the Legislature, that object would have been best secured by removing at a former period all restrictions upon the trade in corn, believing that the enterprise and capital of our merchants, which have ac cumulated in our warehouses a stock of cotton equal to eight months' consumption, would have made a similar provision against a casual deficiency of food, had corn, like cotton, been left to the unimpeded operations of commerce. But so long as a law is maintained to prevent the regular exchange of our manufactures for foreign grain—virtually deterring other nations from providing for our wants, and prohibiting our capitalists from storing up a supplyfor future emergencies—so long as such a law is enforoxi, the Government invests itself with the responsibility of securing a sufficient supply of food at all times for the people. " Your memorialists call your attention to the difficulties which present . themselves at the present moment arising from the scarcity of food in Rolland and Belgium, in parts of Germany, and even in portions of Russia. Those countries, which in former periods of scarcity ministered to our wants, are now competing for the scanty stocks in more distant Markets. But thir Governments having wisely and humanely offered facilities !or the importation of food, which are denied in this country, their merchants are forestalling us in the grain markets everywhere, not exmting our own shores. "That, under these vircumstance!t; your memorialists are of opinion that itebeekii - lei the duty of Government to open the ports for the free admission:of. food of pll khyls. 'rho success even. of.. this decisive reinedy, -depends mainly upon the promptitude with Which it is applied, and, therefore, your memorialist:4 ,urge the. imperative necessity of adopting it without delay. by means of an Order in Connell, - and they feel assured that such an act, dictated alike by prudence, justice, And humanity, would have the sanction of Parliament aaci , the • enthusiastic approval of the nation."

One hundred and seven ty Unitarian ministers, residing chiefly in New England, have issued a protest against the system of slavery practised, in the southern portion of this country, — Because it is a violation of the law of Right, being the sum of all unrighteousness which man can do to man, depriv ing him not only of his possessions but of himself. And, as in the possession of one's self are included all other posses sions, and in the right of one's self are included all other rights, he who makes a man a slave commits the greatest possible robbery and the greatest possible wrong. Because it violates the law of Love, which says. "What soever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them." Because it degrades man, the image of God, into a thing; changes persons into property; and, by violating the dignity of the human soul, is a constant sacrilee against that soul which the Scriptures declare to be the "Temple of the Holy Ghost." Because it necessarily tends to pollute the soul of the slave —producing all vices and fostering habits of indolence, sen suality, falsehood, treachery, theft, moral stupor and per petual childhood—by taking away Hope, which God has ap pointed as the lightener of toil, the spur to exertion, and the seed of progress, and by destroying the sense of responsibility, which is the bond that connects the soul with God. Because it tends to defile the soul of the master, as un limited power must generally produce self-indulgence, licen tiousness, cruelty, arrogance, and a domineering spirit— qualities utterly opposed to the humility, meekness, and self denial of Christ. We cheerfully admit that some, both of the slaveholders and slaves, have nobly resisted these in fluences and shown us virtues which we should be proud to imitate; but we know that the prevailing tendency of the system is nevertheless evil, and that it must always offer manifold temptations and inevitable occasions to sin. Because this system, as the indispensable condition of its continuance, must restrict education, keep the Bible from the slave, make life insecure in the hands of irresponsible power, deprive female innocence of protection, sanction adultery, tear children from parents and husbands from wives, violate the divine institution of families, and by hard and hopeless toil make existence a burden. Because slavery, as all history testifies, eats out the heart of nations, and tends every year more and more to sear the popular conscience and impair the virtue of the people. It neutralizes the influence which we ought to exert on the world as a nation whose mission it is to extend the principles of political freedom. It degrades our national character, making us appear before mankind as solemn hypocrites, who declare " that all men are equal," and yet persist in holding a portion of them as slaves—who de clare " that all are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and yet take these rights from a sixth part of their own community. Constantly to psofe3s one thing and constantly to practise another must destroy the sinews of national virtue. RAILROADS AND TIIRtPIRES.—N otwithstanding the railroad mania and building; turnpikes continue to bring their prices. The Montrose turnpike, for instance, wss last week put up for letting, and brought an advance of 1004 be yond what its tolls let for last year. AEW COURT. (Before Commissioner BULLOCK.) Henry Lee was indicted for stealing 10s. in money, and Tlwßrown fo mat r receiving part of it, the property of Mr. _ __ Gray, St. ➢lary's, Stoke Nevi%higton. Geo. Baxter, a bey, was in Church-street, Stoke Newington, on the 15th Oct., and about two o'clock in the afternoon saw Lee come out of Mr. Gray's shop, run up to two boys standing about seven doors off, when all of them ran together. Brown is one of the two boys, Inglis, the other, was discharged by the magistrate. I went in and called Mr. Gray and asked whether he had lost anything. Gray immediately went after the boys. NV. Gray, keeps a shop in Stoke Newington. Brown came into his shop and asked if Simmons, a shoemaker, lived there ; a little girl was in the shop at the same time, and both went out together. The money was then quite safe in the till. I had been in an adjoining parlour about five minutes only when the witness Baxter came in and asked whether I had lost anything. I saw the till was half drawn out and empty, in consequence of which I ran out and saw Lee going up to two boys, then about seven doors off, and all when they saw me ran away together. I pursued them, and on the way got up into a phaeton running in the same direc tion ; but soon after Brown threw away some money and I leaped off the phaeton and pursued him on foot A police man caught Brown about a quarter of a mile from my shop. .John Barnett, constable, apprehended Brown. NV hen caught, the prisoner said " I'm done." Mr. Glass was in his garden, where he heard cries of " Stop him !" and came out to the pavement. Saw no one, but picked up money, one half-crown and some shillings, to the amount of about . 9s. Is not sure whether there was more than one half-crown. The prisoners, throughout the trial, manifested the utmost unconcern. Their respective ages are 16 and 17. . Being convicted, they were ientenced,,to ;,six months' im prisonment and hard labour. John Creswell was indicted for feloniously taking and sell ing tools, benches, lathes, &c., the property of Charles Rice. C. Face had been a pewterer for 45 years, at 43, Roebuck terrace, Dover-road, but having retired from business, had let the house at Roebuck-terrace to the prisoner in March last at a rent of 45/. There is a detached building at the back of the yard, not let to the prisoner, in which the pro secutor had left a great deal of property. This property was, the most of it, atited to the business of a,pewterer, Which he Wished to sell or to let out with the back premises to one en gaged in the business. Said nothing of the articles - at all to the prisoner. Gave him no control over them, no autho rity to show them, to any one whatever, but should any per son meaning to purchase them call, the prisoner was to send him to me. Made some remarks about the articles in the Out house some two or three months after. No rent was paid up to Michaelmas', the time at which the prisoner secretly left the house. Cross-examined —I believe there was no written agree ment between us. The premises in question are across the the yard, detached. I had the key first; prisoner had it after. I did not allow him to use these goods. He was to keep them for my use, and take care that no one took them away. Here the prisoner's counsel, Mr. HIIDDLESTON, entered a legal objection, to the effect that Mr. Rice had said enough to prove delivery of the goods, and, if so, that unless felo nious intention could be proved at the time of the getting of the key, it did not amount to a felony. Mr. BAJO:AVM for the prosecution, replied, and The Learned COMMISSIONER overruled that the question should go to the jury. Meantime the evidence was pro ceeded with. Mr. Rice cross-examined — Prisoner asked the key about a fortnight after, that he might put some crates in, and I gave him it. I got the key afterwards. Nothing was said about the articles, except about some articles in a box, which I said were not to be disturbed. Was the property put under his protection ?—Yes. For your use?—Never to sell them. For your use ?—I never said so. I asked for the key a few days after, but then I saw it was in the door of the back premises; all the things were there. I am not sure if I took the key out or left it in the door. The key passed backwards and forwards two or three times between me and the prisoner. Prisoner got the key to meve what he had got in out. I did not ask him for the key after that. I considered the things safe. The articles were suited to a pewterer. Cresswell is a beer-shop keeper. Prisoner had put several fittings in the shop at his own expense, and several squares of glass under the agree ment that he should receive Is. per square forthe new squares, and 6d. to take the old. I know Mr. Barnett, but not before this affair, nor Mr. Church or Basely. I have seen both two or three days before this. I have not told Barnett that I had authorised the prisoner to sell the things. I had not called on prisoner about the 2d of May. Did prisoner not say he could get 121. 12s. for the goods?—No. Did not the prisoner grain some doors and shutters at hi own expense ?—No ; I painted all before he came in. Did prisoner not say he might sell the goods for 121. 125., get half in money and half in coppers?—No. Did he say anything of coppers ?—Heat one time said he had coppers to sell, and asked whether I could get them sold for him; and he sent me one of the coppers, to show to a gen tleman known to me. Some things which had been brought back to the house, by Mr. Hutson, I allowed the prisoner to use, but these are not in the indictment. 1 did not tell Mr. Barnett that I allowed him to sell these things, and I would allow him two or three pounds for selling them. I knewthat Barnett had bought the things, and traced them there; said sornethieg of them, but not what has now been asked. By prosecutor's CoenesEL—l did not say to Barnett that I had given prisoner any control whatever over the things. Mr. Barnett was put into the witness-box=-I am a copper smith. I purchased the goods mentioned in the indictment in the month of May last. I went to the premises in Dover road to see them. Prisoner said he had purchased them for 601., and asked me 211 for them. I refused this sum, but ulti mately gaVe him 12/. 12s. I purchased them all at one time. Mr. Rice called on me about the goods. At that time Mr. Rice said the prisoner might sell the goods, and get 2/. or 3/. for doing so. I mentioned this to Mr. Rice about a week ago when before thegrand jury. Mr. Rice replied it is false. To a Juryman—l do not recollect the former part of the conversation. Mr. Rice after this sent a policeman to say he would take it as a favour if I would not mention this, as he wished to prosecute the prisoner. Church and Basely are in my employ. Did they heir this?—Yee. From Rice hiinselii—No ; 1 said it publicly in my own shop. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—The prisoner never said he had been authyrieed tv rall the thiuge. The winds 0 M ARKE NE W:,.-(YESTERDAY.) CORN-EXCEILANDE. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the whole of last week were on a very moderate scale, though of somewhat improved quility. The imports ot all kinds of foreign Grain, as well as the receipts of Oats from Ireland, were, the time of year considered, limited. Fresh up, very little Vheat reached us, either by lane-carriage or sample, yet the show of English parcels=many of which were on offer this day se'nnigbt—was on the whole, rather extensive. The rumours in circulation to the effect that an alteration in the present corn-laws is in contemplation had a most ex traordinary effect upon the demand for Wheat of home pro duce. The attendance of both town and country buyers was large, yet the uncertainty which the above rumour pro duced, caused tham to act with considerable caution. In some instances the holders demanded—though they did not obtain—an advance in the quotations of English Wheat of from 2s to 3s per quarter; others, on the contrary, were dis posed to sell at that amount of depression. Hence it will be observed we had much difficulty in ascertaining the exact state of the trade. However, we may observe that the finest qualities (though the trade must be called a dull one) were, in most instances, disposed of at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight ; but the middling and in ferior kinds must be considered from is to 2s per quarter cheaper than on that day. At the close of business a portion of the supply remained unsold. The show of free Foreign Wheat was not largo, yet the causes before-mentioned ope rated Upon the sale for that article. The best parcels we: e, however, held at full prices; but other kinds might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms—say of is per ceiarter. Holders of Bonded Wheats were extravagant in their demands—many of them refusing to sell except at 4s to 5s per quarter more money. So few were the trans- - netlons, that the quotations were almost nominal. The supply of English Barley was somewhat on the increase, but that of foreign was small. For the best malting and grinding sorts, the sale was very steady, at fully, but at nothing, quotable beyond last week's currencies. In other descriptions, exceedingly little was doing, yet the prices were supported. We had a fair retail inquiry for Malt, especially for pale, and previous rates were maintained in every instance, still a clearance. notwithstanding the supply was comparatively small, was not effected. Last week, only about 8,000 quarters of Oats came to hand from Ireland. Since the return was made up, nine vessels (all reported this morning) have come in from Dublin, Waterford, and Cork, yet the show of samples of that article was small, and I unusually high prices were demanded. The Oat trade must be considered firm, and in some transactions an improvement in the prices paid en Monday. last of from 6d to is per quarter, at which nearly the whole found buyers.: In Bonded Oats several sales were concluded at higher prices, owing to the decline in the duty. We had a fair average quantity of Beans in the market, while the sale for them was steady, at very full prices. Although the priz*e of Peas was on the increase, a large business was doing, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Peas under lock is to 2s dearer. The Flour trade was rather dull ; ne vertheless the late advance in the quotations was main tained. In Seeds, particularly in Canary, Rapeseed, and Lin seed, a good businees was doing, at rather more money.

MURDER, IN AMERICA.—DELHI, OCT. 11.—This morning the Court passed' sentence on all the prisoners ar raigned for the murder of Steele. Only two trials have been held—those of O'Conner and Van Steenburgh—all the rest have pleaded guilty to the charges. John Van Steenburgh was first called. When asked what he had to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed, he said, "I am innocent of the crime, and think it hard to suffer for a crime I never committed." Judge Parker then, in a very impres sive manner, sentenced him to be hung on Saturday, 29th of November next. Edward O'Conner was next called. He was asked what he had to say why sentence should not be passed on him ; he only replied that he was innocent. He was then sentenced to be hung at the same time with Van Steenburgh. The remainder of the sentences were as fol lows :—Daniel W. Squires, for manslaughter in the first degree, state prison for life. Moses Earll, the same as Squires. Daniel Northrup, the same. The following pleaded Guilty to manslaughter in the second degree; and were sentenced as follows :—John Phenix, state prison, seven years ; Isaac L.

THE LATE EXPLOSION IN THE ROYAL ARSENAL —We are happy to state that provision has been made by the Board of 'Ordnance for the widows and orphans of the unfortunate men who p"rished by the late explosion in the Royal Laboratory department of the Royal Arsenal. Mr. Crake, the foreman, left one unmarried daughter, who is to receive an annuity of 25/. per annum. The widows of H. Butters, scn., and H. Butters, jun., are each to receive a pension of 14s. a week. The widow of Burbage is to receive a pension of 9s. a week. The orphan boy of Michael Purtill has already been entered in the storekeeper's department at 6s. a week, his presence not being required till he has attained the age of fourteen years. The parents e the two boys, Leonard aitzt liffidiey, are etch to rkceivi gratuity of 5/., and the whole of the expehees connected with 'the funeral will be paid by the Board. The annuities and pensions are to commence from the time of the accident. ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, Nov: IN SPECTION OF THE ENROLLED rENSIONERS.—The enrolled pensioners of the Woolwich division of the London dis trict assembled this morning in the west square of the Royal Artillery barracks, under the command of Captain J. Forbes, the staff officer of pensioners for the Woolwich district, for the purpose of being inspected by the Right Hon. Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H., commandant of the garrison. At a quarter before one o'clock they were marched to the barrack field, where they took up their posi tion, and formed a line fronting the koyal Artillery bar racks. His Lordship arrived, in his carriage, at half-past one, and on alighting was received by the aged veterans with arms presented. Many distinguished officers were present. The Commandant, accompanied by Major Arm strong and Captain Forbes, proceeded to inspect the troops very minutely. First, the line broke into open columns of divisions, right in front, and then marched past his Lord ship in slow and quick time. They then re-formed into line, went through the manual and platoon exercise, fired two rounds each, by divisions, and various other evolutions, at the conclusion of which his Lordship advanced towards them, when they formed three sides of a square. His Lordship then addressed Captain Forbes, and said that lie scarcely knew how to address him in language sufficiently strong. He was delighted at all he had that day witnessed. The marchings and movements were conducted with the ereatest regularity, and the firing was regular. He should be happy at a ll times to attend to anything that he (Captain Forbes) might suggest for the benefit of the pensioners, or to forward their interest, Then, addressing the pensioners, his Lordship said,;“ My o:d heroes, I am proud to see you this day; it reminds me of old times, to see the old veterans become young again. I wish I could become young again myself. You have this day shown a pattern, and an example I hope the young men will follow." His Lordship then granted permission for the band to accompany the pensioners through the town, and the aged veterans then perambulated the principal streets of the town amidst the mingled laughter and cheers of the townspeople, to whom by far the larger number of them are personally known. They then returned to the West-square, and were dismissed at half-past three o'clock. Their arms and accoutrements are to be returned with their clothing into store on Monday, the drills and exercises being for the present season at an end. A SOLDIER SHOT.—On Sunday afternoon n serious accident occurred to a man named William White, aged forty-five, residing in Collingwood-street, Chelsea, late a sergeant in the 96th Regimert of Foot. Whilst taking a walk along the Clapham-road lie observed a lad behind somepalinge which faced the road, with a pistol, firing at a mark. When he arrived opposite the spot the pistol was discharged, and at the same moment lie felt himself struck on the left leg, and he found blood oozing through his stock ing. A policeman, who heard the report, cams up, and it was found that he had been wounded by a very small ball. the of the leg, and lodged within an inch of the surface on the o ~H . he e w u a si t w pl as ac f e o d un in d th a at ca t b he and sbot c b o a n d v , e i l ms e ds passed d o Guy's y t Hospital, iirough extracte P d P ?t s , i w te ll d h e. prfr i: swan s The i f boy wa a s r im es - t sort, nearly of the size of a pistol bullet, _ Y er.ciFtionciDei, house- h s o u t rg , ec t i h n te a l t once mediately taken into custody. A NEW RAILWAY WHISTLE.—BaomosovE, FRI. DAY EVENING.—Within the last few days several triali 9f an apparatus for communicating a signal from the guard to the engine -driver, has been made at the station in h ope lace on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, under the sintend ence of Mr. M'Connell, the locomotive superintendent of the above line. The train, which is an experimental one of eight carriages was fitted with small air-tight tubes, which com municated with a very powerful whistle attached to one cor ner of the engine-handle, and by a very simple arrangement the guard was able to give a signal instantly, and, if neces sary, vary it so as to be perfectly understood by the engine driver. The experiment was completely successful, and the plan appears to be the most useful and simple for effecting the important object in view which has yet appeared. Mr. Ban field, organ builder, of Birmingham, is the inventor of this very useful arrangement, and his intention to patent it pre yeut from going further 1149 the plan. 248 I LB. The imports of live stock from abroad into London during the past sieek have consisted of 140 Oxen and Cows, toge ther with 240 Sheep. and 8 Calves from Rotterdam ; and 20 Oxen from Hamburgh, in, for the most part, good condition. This morning we had on sale 96 Dutch Oxen and Cows and 130 Sheep, the whole of which found buyers at about previous quotations. At Hull about 300 Beasts and Sheep have ar rived. The number would have been larger had not two cargoes of Beasts on their way from Rotterdam bs.en thrown overboard. in consequence of the late gales. From our own grazing districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts this morning were very extensive, and of full average quality; indeed, there were some if the best short-horns in the market we ever witnessed at this period of the year. Although the attendance of buyers was good, the Beef trade was vary dull, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last cf, 2d per Blbs, and a clearance was not effected. The northern droves of beasts amounted to 2,100 short-horns ; those from the eastern counties comprising 400 Scots; from the western and midland districts 800 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 200 of various kinds ; from Scotland 90 Scots ; and from Ireland, partly be railway, and partly by steamers direct, 300 beasts. The numbers of Sheep being on the increase, the sale for that description of stock was very inactive. Prime old Downs, which were scarce, produced full currencies ; but all other kinds suffered a decline of 2d per Sibs. Calves were in moderate supply, and heavy demand, at Friday's depression. Nearly 250 Pig's were on sale from Ireland. The Pork trade was in a sluggish state, and prices were not supported. Per Sibs. to sink the offal. a. d. a. d. . s. d. to a.

Since this day se'nnight, the arrivals of slaughtered meat, from Scotland - and various parts of England, have been somewhat on the increase, and of full average quality; while the supplies, killed in the metropolis, have proved tolerably good. Owing to the high rates demanded, the butchers have purchased cautiously; hence, the general demand must be considered inactive, at, in some instances, a slight de pression in the quotations. A few carcases of foreign Beef and Mutton have sold at full quotations. A small importation of dead Meat has taken place from Rotterdam; but the condition was by no means first rate.

GRAND UNION CANAL. ---- - The usual half-yearly general meeting of the Shareholders blithe Grand Union Canal was held yesterday morning at the offices of the Company, in Surrey- street, Strand ; Mr. Twining in the chair. The report stated that the twelve months' tonnage of the canal, up to the 30th of September, 1844, amounted to 7,4791., while that of the present year amounted to 8,2091., showing an increase of 7301. In consequence of the great reductions made by the railways in the carriage of coal and merchan dise, the committee found it necessary in May last to reduce the rates of tonnage on coal to 101. 2 d., and on merchandise to 5 1 / 2 d., and hitherto no injury . had resulted from the change, owing to the great augmentation in the coal trade. The re ceipts of the past half-year amounted to 4,6531., which, added to the receipts of the previous half-year, gave an an nual gross income of 9,3101. The gross payments of the two previous half-years, including dividends, amounted to 3,618/. The accounts exhibited a balance in favour of the Company of 501/. The unclaimed dividends on the 30th of Septem ber last amounted to 2,5331., including 5881. on 28 unregis- Urea shares. The canal had lately been surveyed, and found in every respect to be in a perfectly satisfactory state. The report having been adopted, a dividend of Il per share, free of income-tax, was declared, and ordered to be paid en the 17th instant. RAILWAY ROBBERlES.—lnformation has been for warded to the various metropolitan and City police stations, that some thief or thieves stole from one of the trucks belong ing to the London and Birmingham Railway, at the Camden► town station, a packing-case—dtmensions, three feet long, two feet wide, and seventeen feet deep—tilled with valuable shawls, silk handkerchiefs, ribbons, and fancy articles; and a case containing a large quantity of net lace, the property of Messrs.
