Z: l 2 r before a magistrate would settle that m s : — they took good care never to be in bo d y' anyy's but and to give as little annoyance as possible to a d r 4 public. It occurred to him that if the proctors who were superior to the meanness of paying persons to tout for business in the way described would apply to the judges of the courts in which the members of the profession practised, there would arise such an interposition as would speedily put an end to the practice.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the judge alone had the power of abating the nuisance. Certainly the Court of Aldermen could do nothing in it. If the touters wished to walk quietly about the neighbourhood for exercise and air, he could not see why an alderman should interfere with such harmless pastime.—(Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE said it wou ld b e rat h er too great a liberty to prevent people from walking about, par ticularly when their livelihood depended upon their little perambulations. It was, be considered, one of the freaks of free trade.—(Laughter.) The great body of the proctors did not like to see all the pro fits of the courts monopolised by two or three, and thence arose the struggle, which, however, he be lieved was carried on with as little obstruction as couli be. Alderman S IDN EY said the presentment having been mad e by the inquest, the Court could do no otherwise than refer it to a committee. The Court ultimately referred the matter to Alder man Wilso n (the alderman of the ward) to be dealt with accordin g to hi s rma jadgment. PRIVILEGES OF Tilt E con RT OF ALDERMEN.

The Cork estates of Mr. Edward Byrne, annual rental, 1951., sold for 1,2001., very little over 6i years' purchase. The estate of Mr. P.

The last sale was of the Waterford and Cork estates of Mr. Henry Parker, the annual rental of which was 1381., and which realised 3,380/., or about 241 years' purcbase. The gross sum produced by the sales effected during the day was 36,5801., equal to 11i years' purchase on a net rental of 3,1101. per annum. It is worthy of re mark, that the estate of Mr. Byrne, which was sold yesterday for 1,2001., might have been disposed of on two previous occasions for 1,8001.; a loss of just 600/. was therefore occasioned by injudicious applications for adjournments. the air-gates and other currents of air th rough the pit had been destroyed by the force of th e exp l osion. Mr. John Ch ar l esworth was at Brompton Bull Head, where th e B a d s worth hounds met, when he heard of the exp l os i on, and hastened to the pit, where he attended mos t ass i duously to the sufferers, and spare gave orders th a t no expense should be d in ren dering all po ss ibl e aid. apparatus for directing the SUNDAY Maim —The search for the bodies of the sufferers by this dreadful calamity was continued last night and to-day. The number of dead recovered from the pit now amounts to 49, and two or three others yet remain in. The search has been carried throughout the workings, and as their bodies have not been found, it is concluded that they are buried be. neuth a mass of the roof which had fallen in at the northern extremity of the working, and no doubt was the cause of the explosion. The men who were i n the pit at the time, but w h o escaped without injury, speak most confidently to the satisfactory ventilation of the pit previous to the explosion. There are ten bodies so dreadfully mutilated as t o render i dentity impossible. Mr. Morton, the Government Inspector, is expected to visit the place to-morrow. ake n d in ! 26i DUBLIN, FRIDAY.—STEAM COMMUNICATION BE TWEEN NEW YORK AND GALWAY.—The opinion gain% ground here that the arrangement proposed by Mr. Wagstaff will be carried out, and that a steam ship is now on its way from New York to Galway. It also appears to be the general belief that the Go vernment of the United States are favourable to the project of a direct and regular line of packets be tween New York and the West of Ireland.

Thousands of pounds are expended very ridiculously in presents for youth, and the greater part in articles not valued, be cause not adapted for display, and too frequently not for use ; how much more gratifying would be an article that could be worn ? Give a girl a new tippet, cloak, or muff, or a boy a new top-coat or a suit of clothes, and there is something to gratify the pride, something to boast of among their acquaintances, something to last them the se ason, and do them a real service. Those, therefore, who make pre sents, and particularly to their own children, should burin mind that they would be infinitely more delighted at an article of dress as a t Christmas present than with any toy, or book, or useless play hing, even if it only anticipated the period at which they would have had it a few weeks. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have laid them selves out in anticipation of this being generally done by all thought ful parents and relations ; and they respectfully invite all classes to take their children to the Monarch Mart, in Aldgate and the Minoriel, or their West-end Branch Establishment, corner of Hart street, New Oxford-street, where they will see the finest assortment of dresses for all ages and conditions, made of the best materials, of the newest fashions, and the most exquisite workmanship,. and where the gorgeous flttings-up andiconvenient rooms for dressing and fitting on, form a complete exhibit'on. Moreover, they will see the price marked on every article of dress, and be convinced at once that it is less than half that charged by ordinary tailors for inferior goods. E.

This highly important and interesting exhibition, on Thursday night consisted of bronze articles and implements, by the Hon. Mr. Neville, part of the fruits of excavations he has recently made at Wilbra ham, Cambridgeshire. Several fibulas of novel forms were among them, together with other ornaments of dress ; but two situlm, or buckets, attracted most attention, because it is only recently that such utensils have been discovered in ancient tumuli. These were clearly of the Anglo- Saxon period, and one of them was in a most perfect state; they were small, and must have been used as drinking vessels. They were composed of wooden staves, rimmed and hooped with bronze. The staves themselves were of yew, according to the opinion of competent judges, and in one instance every stave was perfect, but in the other air or damp had occasioned considerable decay. There is no doubt that they must have been at least twelve hundred years old, and their state of pre servation was therefore remarkable. The Hon. Mr. Neville was present, and kindly afforded every information in his power, promising that on a future evening (15th of January) he would accompany these relics by others exhumed at the same time, and pos sessing at least equal claims to notice. A paper was read upon the skeletons in the graves with these relics, the most remarkable point regarding them being that not one of them was deficient of any limb, or seemed to have come to his end by any wound which had damaged a bone. A paper was read from Mr. Campkin on some verses on Cowley, written on the back of one of the well known engravings of him by Faithorne, but they did not add anything new to his personal his tory, or to the history of his poetry. The most inte resting communication came last, and produced some discussion among the members ; it related to the transportation to the West Indies and other tropical climates of more than 800 persons who had been en gaged in the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion. It was written by Mr. Roberts, the author of a life of Mon mouth, and it contained some highly curious disclo sures and speculations. Sir R. H. Inglis, vice president, occupied the chair, and the meetings were adjourned to Thursday, the Bth of January. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1852. FEBRUARY. Lincoln MARCH.

SALE OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES.—The Chief Commissioner sat yesterday, and sold two small pro perties. The first was in the matter of the estate of Josephine Catherine Handcock, deceased, and of Honoria Handcock, which comprised the fee and in heritance of the lands of Clonacrussa, Coolicknalea, and Cartron, situate in the barony of Dunmore and county of dalway, containing in the entire 271 a. 2r. 32p., Irish 'plantation measure, and producing a nett rent of 3101. 13s. sd. Mr. Patrick Nolan, in trust for Dr. M'Hale, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, was declared the purchaser for 2,9001. At a former offer . of this property for sale, the highest bid was only 1,000/, The other property disposed of was in the matter of the estate of George Lloyd, which comprised the fee and inheritance of one undivided moiety of the towns and lands of Inchincummer, Kil sarcon, and Ballycantaurd. These lands are situate in the neighbourhood of Castle Island, and are held by Henry Arthur Herbert, of Muckross, Esq., M.P., under lease of August, 1709, for lives renewable for ever, at a yearly rent of 110/. 15s. 4d., and a renewal fine of 301. late Irish currency on the fall of each life. Mr. G. W. Thompson, solicitor, in trust for George Thompson, the petitioner, was declared the, purchaser at 1,2351. THE MURDER OF Ma. BATEsoN.—The Londox derry Standard of yesterday says—" We understand that Government have offered a reward of 100/,, pay able on the conviction of the perpetrators of the murder of Mr. Bateson ; whilst the gentry in the neighbourhood have already subscribed 1,5001., of which a reward of 5001. is offered for the conviction of the offenders, and 2001. for any evidence that may lead to their detection." THE SPLIT IN THE DEFENCE ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, SATURDAY.--Notwithstanding the seve rity of the ill-timed (?) attack of si_kness which de barred Primate Cullen from taking any part in the election of secretary on Wednesday last, " his Grace" has recovered strength sufficient to enter the lists, and take his side in the fierce controversy now raging with respect to the preference of the "Saxon" to the aboriginal candidate. Dr. Cullen has addressed a letter to the honorary secretaries of the Defence As sociation with a view of casting oil upon the troubled waters, and of appeasing the wrath of the mutinous " Spartans" who, by their recently-published pro test, have shaken all public confidence in the good faith of the association. Whether these objects are likely to be achieved by the doctor's coy avowal of his sympathy towards Mr. Wilberforce is doubtless best known to Messrs. Keogh, Moore, and the other confederated advocates of " pure nationality." Sub• joined is a copy of Primate Cullen's missive. " Dublin, Dec. 19. " Gentlemen,—The effects of a severe illness de prived me of the advantage of being present at the late meeting of the committee of the Catholic Defence Association. I regret this the more, inasmuch as I lost by my absence an opportunity of expressing personally my sincere acknowledgments to you for the zeal and ability with which you have discharged the duties of honorary secretaries during the past months. " While availing myself of this occasion for ten dering to you the expression of my sentiments of thankfulness, I cannot conceal from you the feelings of deep disappointment which I have experienced at learning that a misunderstanding has grown out of the proceedings of the committee, which terminated in the election of Mr. Wilberforce to the office of se cretary. From the first formatio of the society I understood the feeling to be universally entertained that all Catholics of the United Kingdom were to constitute one body, and to be in all respects upon a perfect equality, without distinction of province or country. This, as far as I could judge, was deemed a vital principle, and the one best calculated to advance the interests of our holy religion. Charity, and truth, and union among all Catholics of the empire appeared to be the basis upon which our proceedings and com bined efforts were to rest. Bearing with me the impression of this avowed principle, strengthened as it has been by an intercourse with several members, both lay and clerical, of the association, I was not prepared I must conf ess f or t h e excep ti on w hich has been taken to the sel ect i on o f so di s ti ngu i s h e d a per son as Mr. Wilberforce to the office which was to be filled. Were the association founded for local or merely political purposes I would subscribe to the justness of the exception. When, however, it is borne in mind th a t it s o bj ects are re li g i ous an d Ca tholic, every question arising should be decided upon religious and Catholic grounds. If au association were established for purely political purposes, I would earnestly desire for it the fullest measure of success in the pursuit o f every legitimate an d pa t r i o ti c ob ject; but my p ecu li ar sphere and sp i r it ua l assoc iati ons would not allo w me time to take any acti ve part in it. If I hav e t a k en a small share i n t h e p rocee di ngs of the Defence A ssoc i at i on, I have d one so becau se I considered th a t I was concurring directly to promote the spiritual i n t erest, and next the temporal welfare of the people. "My persuasion was founded upon the words of our Divine Redeemer, ' Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His justice, and all these things will be added to you.' Trusting still th a t th e same sp i r it o f charity and generous toleration o f diff erence o f op i n ion which has hitherto chara c t er i se d our proceedings to guide our fut ure steps, may continue " I have the honour to be with sincere respect, " Your faithful and obedient servant, " + PAUL CULLEN, Archbishop P r imate of all Ireland.

Mr. Robert Keating, one of the meuil,tab A c o , ~,CythQ ....C., of 5 Waterford, thus writes to the leader of the mutineers : " 5, Great Denmark -street, Friday Evening. " My dear Keogb,—l have only this day arrived in town, on my way to London, and was rejoiced to peruse the admirable address to the Irish people in this day's Freeman, signed by you and several of my brother members. I need searcely tell you, who known my sentiments on matters of that nature so well, that I concur most heartily in the course you have taken, and that if the signatures are extended beyond those who attended the committee on Wed nesday, I beg you will attach my name to the, docu ment. " Believe me, my dear Keogh, very sincerely yours, "ROBERT KEATING. " W. Keogh, Esq., M.P." ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN DUBLIN AND HOLYHEAD. Tile Warder of this day states positively that the same company which has executed the submarine telegraph between the French and English shores, has actually submitted to the Government a proposal by which it guarantees the completion within a very limited period of a submarine telegraph, upon the very same principle and construction, between Kings town and Holyhead. The sole condition required by the company is, that the Government will pay it for the exclutive use of the two wires which they propose placing at its disposal a yearly sum of 1,0001. SALES OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES. One of the Commissioners sat yesterday in the Court at Henrietta-street, for the sale of encumbered property. There were no less than twelve estates to be auctioned, comprising household, leasehold, and fee-simple property in the counties of Meath, Waterford, Cork, Kerry, Dublin, Kilkenny, Mayo, Westmeath, and Tipperary, and in the cities of Dublin and Cork. The court was thronged to inconvenience with solicitors, bidders, and others, and the sales were in most instances completed with the Asual dispatch ; in fact, before 4 o'clock, with the exce)tion of two or three lots, the whole of this great massof property had passed from the former owners into the possession of new hands. The properties were set up in the ffflowing order : —The Kerry estates of Mr. Barry Colins, profit ren tal, 3131. per annum, sold for 3,500'., equal to 11i years' purchase. The Meath estates cf Mr. Barclay Scriven, rental, 6671., sold for 8,8901., , qual to nearly 13i years' purchase. The estates o " Mr. 'Walter John Carew, lying in the county of Cqk and city of It appears that about ten minutes before six this morning Mr. Silvester, the underground steward, went into the pit as usual to examine the state of the workings. One or two men went down with him, and he was followed shortly afterwards by the whole body of miners employed there. In what state he found the pit is not known, for he has not been seen again, and it is believed is among those who have pe rished. It appears, however, that he did not find the pit in such a condition as to induce him to stop the working, for the men and boys had generally gone down, and everything appeared to be proceeding in the usual mode. The precise number of men in the pit has not been ascertained. It is believed to be not less than 73. The number of men directly employed by Messrs. Charlesworth was 32, but nearly all these had men and boys employed under them. To outward appearance everything went on as usual, until a few minutes before seven o'clock. At that time not only those near the pit, but the whole neighbourhood around, was astounded and horrified by an irruption like that of a volcano. Smoke and flames burst out of the mouth of the pit in an ap palling volume. Two carves which were being drawn out of the pit were projected upwards with volcanic force, and lodged in the gearing over the shaft. A quantity of coals, stones, and other matters which had been carried high into the air, descended all around the pit in a terrible shower. So fearful and perilous was it, that the persons employed near the pit mouth were compelled to take shelter under the platform of the tipplers for loading the carts , and it was only by this precaution that they escaped fatal injuries. The country all round the pit was blackened to a distance of three quarters of a mile by the descent of the dust and smoke, So great was this, that a man who was standing at his cottage door, two fields from the pit, found his face blackened as if he had been working in the pit itself. The report of the explosion was heard a distance of three miles. The whole country round was filled with conster nation, and crowds of persons hastened to the place. As soon as it was possible the damaged gearing of the shaft was repaired, so as to enable men to descend the pit, which is 127 yards deep. By half-past nine fourteen persons had been got out alive, but all more or less injured. These had been enabled, after the explosion, to make their way to the bottom of the shaft and avail themselves of the first opportunity of ascending. Up to half-past three there had been extricated 24 persons alive, and 15 dead bodies. Of the living 15 had happily escaped sufficiently well to be able to render assistance and information. Nine were so severely injured that it is feared several of them can not recover, as they have not only been dreadfully burned, but sustained fractures and other injuries of a dangerous character. Three of the injured men have been sent to the Sheffield Infirmary. Of those who are killed some of the bodies present a most shocking spectacle, being so dreadfully mutilated as to make identification almost impossible. Of the killed the following have been identified : James Purselove, aged 14 ; Henry Purselove, aged 12 ; John Hartley, John Walton, William Froggatt, John Whyke, alias Barstow, Abraham Thompson, George Sellars, John Hartley, Siddons, and Wil liam Barnes. Among the dangerously hurt are—Joseph Bownes, of Rawmarsh ; —Bo wnes, of ditto; Timothy Tins ley, of ditto ; John Harrison, of ditto ; Jonathan Sel lars, of ditto; Abraham Auty, of ditto ; James Oates, of ditto; Eli Barker, of Rose-hill; and George Lin ley, of Upper Haugh. The number still in the pit, thero is too much reason to believe, is from 30 to 40, and the terrible conviction prevails that they cannot possibly have survived. At four o'clock in the afternoon measures were being taken, under the direction of Mr. Goodison, the viewer of Earl Fitzwilliam, Mr. Sellars, the manager, Mr. Cooper, underground steward of Earl Fitz williarn, and other experienced persons, to throw into the pit a current of fresh air, so as to make it possible further to explore the workings and search the places where the bodies of the unfortunate miners are believed to be. The scene in the neighbourhood is of the most heartrending description. " Mourning, lamentation, and woe " prevail among those who can give no help; while those who can give aid labour with a degree of zeal and self-devotion which merit far greater praise than words can convey. Men, who come out of the pit, sinking from exhaustion, the combined effect of the labour and the foul air, are eager, as soon as they are in some degree restored, again to descend, at the peril of their lives, to aid the less fortunate. The injured men have been conveyed to their own homes or more convenient places. The dead bodies have generally been conveyed to the neighbouring public-houses. At the Star Inn, no less than nine dead bodies lie. Tke supposed cause of the accident is the fall of a portion of the roof of the pit, stopping the initial cur rent of ventilation, liberating a large quantity of foul air, and forcing it into the parts were the miners were working with candles. It appears that this is a new pit, which has not been worked more than twelve months. FURTHER PARTICULARS. SATURDAY EVENING.—The colliery consists of two pits near together. The deeper pit, of 127 yards, works the nine foot seam. The other pit, ninety yards deep, works the five foot seam. These two pits are connected by a shaft through the five foot seam down to the nine foot—an air furnace being connected with the shaft of the five foot pit, so as to create an up-draught. The explosion took place in the northern part of the workings of the deeper seam, but communicated by the shaft with the upper seam. The force of the explosion may be judged from the fact that the corve ascending the deeper shaft, loaded with 16 cwt. of coal, was projected into the.air, and the coal fell around on every side like the cinders from a vol cano. An empty descending corve in the other shaft was thrown out of the pit, and fell at a considerable distance. The fire cage at the mouth of the pit was knocked to pieces, and several men were thrown down, but happily were not seriously injured. Eli Barber, with a party of about 16, were work ing in the southern portion of the mine when the ex plosion took place. They were hastening to the pit shaft, when they encountered the after damp, from the effects of which they were found almost insen sible, when James Froggatt and some other colliers descended and rescued them in a very exhausted state. One of the number, named Joseph Cooper, h a d actually reached the pit shaft, and had climbed by the conductors a considerable distance up the shaft. Of the party thus rescued, two were so much injured that they have since died. Of those enumerated above as seriously injured, William Barraelough, Ti mo th y Tinsley, and Abra ham Thompson are Since dead. Three other dead bodies have been got out of the pit since our former account, viz., John Garnick, George Hague, and George Knapton. It is reported that on Friday the pit was it good working order, with sltisfaettlyy - ‘4htilatiOn: • Between seven and eight o'clock, the fire engines from Rotherham proceeded to the :pit to pump in water, in order to aid in restoring the ventilation. All This colliery, which was the scene of the unfortunate accident last week, has again been visited by a similar occurrence, though happily unaccompanied with the same disastrous results. An accurate plan of the work ings being required for production at the assizes, on the occasion of Oldfield's trial, Messrs. John Wood and G. P. Wall, pupils of Mr. T. D. Jeffolk, colliery viewer, descended the shaft on Wednesday, for the purpose of making the necessary surveys. They were accompanied by John Sellars, the fire-trier at the Soap-house pit, and three other colliers in .the employ of Mr. Rhodes, the lessee of the works. Sellars preceeded the party with a Davy lamp, to test the state of the air, before the other w,ic They w hich dire went the ire ventured forward w ith can dl es, t h e li g ht em itt e d by a safety lamp being insu ffi cient for surveying purposes. Having complet e d t h e survey in the local i ty of the for merhtoelaed r a e o x b fl p y l t o gh s o i e o o t h i r nh they ow . re traced dis tance, and proceeded along a wind- gate l ea di ng to the until they came t o a spot , of which mention was made by Mr. Morton, th e G overnment inspector, in his evi tioent steps p cautiously the sf o air r a d short was for fo w a n r d u evi dence at the inquest, where the roof had fallen in, and completely obstructed the ventilation of this mine in that locality. Since the inspection of Mr. Morton, the ven tilation had been partially restored, by the excavation of a passage through it, by means of which the party might with difficulty be enabled to pass. Immediately they approached the vicinity of this place, a perceptibl e change was observed in the air, which had never been abundant, and there began to fail. Sellars advanced a short distance, but finding no indication of the presence of sulphur, the rest of the party approached, and Mr. Wall proceeded with the survey. Whilst his attention. and that of Sellars, was thus occupied, Mr. Wood walked forward into the break with a candle, followed by one of the colliers named Potts. They had not proceeded far before the flame of the candle came in contact with a volume of sulphurous gas, which suddenly exploded with a loud noise. Mr. Wood was knocked down, and severely burnt and bruised; Potts also was thrown down, but escaped with a slight singeing; the others fortunately escaped unhurt. No after damp followed, or the consequences would have been most calamitous, as the place where the explosion occurred is situate about 140 yards from the pit shaft. Mr. Wood was im mediately conveyed home, and attended by Mr. William Jackson, under whose care he is fast recovering. a fo n r d O t chnleesrp C kautsr O u, prcodUosameyßmoafTi committee special Court oALDERME N.fAIAIdermen n e i requesting receiving t r i e n s g o l a u t c i o o n n f o e f r t e h n e c e o ffi on ce t r h s e ' was held appointment of a minister for St. James's, Duke's place. There was a full attendance of aldermen, as the subject upon which they were summoned involved an important question of privilege, and there had been recently a very marked difference of opinion ex pressed by several of the most active members of both courts. THE COSTS OF ♦ PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY. Alderman WiLsoN presented a petition from Joseph Softlaw, praying for the assistence of the court to enable him to pay the costs of a prosecution for con spiracy. The petition stated certain facts, all of which were detailed in the police reports of the Guildhall jmtice room on occasions when Alderman Salomons, as sisted by Alderman Humphery, presided. The peti tioner had been charged by a diabolical wretch with having committed an indecent assault; and the aldermen, after having heard the evidence, not only completely exonerated the petitioner from all offence or idea of offence, but recommended that the accusing party should be prosecuted for wilful and corrupt perjury, A prosecution was accordingly un dertaken by the petitioner, and the guilty party was sentenced to transportation for seven years. The ex penses of the proceedings, however, amounted to 621. 25., and all the petitioner was allowed by the court towards the liquidation of that sum was 161. 7s. En cumbered with a family, and incapable, in conse quence of the loss of his situation, of incurring so heavy an expense, the petitioner's only alternative was by application to the Court of Aldermen, under the peculiar and afflicting circumstances of the case. Alderman WILSON moved that the petition be re ferred to the General Purposes Committee. Alderman SYDNEY asked whether such a course was not calculated to establish a precedent, and whe ther the Court had a right to apply the City funds to the purpose of reimbursing a man for the costs of a prosecution undertaken by himself ? Alderman WiLsors said that, in a case of such pe culiar hardship, and in which two members of the Court strongly recommended the course that bad been subsequently adopted, it would be most proper at least to make inquiry. Alderman Tuomrsces thought the Court would not be justified in entertaining the petition, and that such a precedent would have the effect of bringing down upon them a variety of cases, in the hope that the funds would be open to the discharge of all the atten dant expenses.—(Hear, bear.) The petitioner had been allowed the reasonable expenses upon the occa sion, but he had thought proper to employ counsel, and to incur a large amount of charges, which, if sanctioned, would impose on the Court the duty of reimbureement, which would swallow up the whole of the resources of the city of London.—(Hear.) He concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the petition lie on the table. Sir PETER LAURIE said the probability was, that if he had sat when the case was brought on, he would have directed that a prosecution should be in stituted by the City solicitor, because the offence was of a most diabolical nature, and one to which any in nocent man might be subjected by a miscreant— (Hear, hear)—hut he agreed with Alderman Thomp son, that the Court would not be justified in paying expenses to which they had not legally given their sanction. If they listened to such a course it would be very easy for attorneys and complainants to get up cases for their mutual benefit at the expense of the corporation.—(Hear, hear.) Under those circum stances he would second the amendment, repeating, however, that if he had been the magistrate, he would in all probability have ordered the prosecution. Alderman HEMPIIRRY said he was present during the investigation, and it was considered to relate to a case of so simple a nature that it would be advisable in Mr. Softlaw himself to proceed. He thought the case had a peculiar claim upon the society, and that, as it was in the power of any miscreant to bring for ward atrocious accusations of this kind, the magis tracy were bound to render all the necessary aid to enable those who might be unjustly charged to punish such delinquency.—(Hear, hear.) The amendment was then negatived, and the peti tion was referred to the committee of general purposes. PROCTORS' TOUTERS. The inquest of the Ward of Ca s tl e B aynard handed in to the Court a presentment, comp l a i n i ng of what was considered by the inhabitants of the district of Doctors' Commons and its vicinity a most obnoxious nuisance—the obstructions of the avenues to the courts in Doctors' Commons by the touters for the proctors, who are rivals for business. The petition stated that ladies in black were parti cularly liable to annoyance from the touters, who were, when intoxicateo, in the habit of using very abusive languag e , an d i t expressed a hope Court would p roceed vigorously to t h e correction the evil. that the Alderman WIL SON said the question had be en v er y freque n tl y before the court, and that the late Sir Matthew w oo d an d he had been very active in their endeavours to abate the nuisance, but all they could do had proved ineffectual. The fact was the touters were paid by the proctors for catching hold of claimants under wills, and from the competition that excited sprung the annoyance so heavily com plained of. Alderman HUMPLIERY said that originally there had been no more than one ticket porter stationed in the neighbourhood to direct parties in black to the place of business. Two more were afterwards ap pointed; but it was found by some of the principal proctors that their casual business was very much on the decrease. Inquiry was made, and it was ascer tained that the porters were c onver t e d i n t o touters for other proctors, and the consequence was that several other gentlemen with white aprons and red facia were employed, and they plied hard for their THE LONDON COAL DUTY ST. ALBAN'S, SATURDA Y .—A meeting of the inha bitants of this town and neighbourhood was held to day, at the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of obtaining relief from the coal tax lately imposed upon them for the benefit of the city of London. The Earl of Vend a'' , was called to the chair, and amongst those on the platform were the Mr. H. Baillie, M.P., the Mayor of St Alban's, Rev. Dr. Nicholson, and all the most in fluential residents of the district. The noble chair man, in opening the proceedings, said the duty h a d existed f or som e period within a certain distance of th e metrop o li s , but by some means its limits had been extended 80 as to include that borough, and therefore, for the first time, they were now called upon to pay the Corporation of London a duty of 13d. per ton. He for one protested against that charge, as unfair upon a people who did not participate in the im provements of the city of London. Mr. Bennett, the Mayor of St. Alban's, proposed a re solution to the effect that a petition be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament, praying for relief from the coal-tax. He computed that no less than 7001. would be obtained from the town by the duty, and against that amount 2501. would be borne by the poor. The Rev. Dr. Nicholson seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Lowe then moved that the petition now prepared be adopted, and signatures obtained thereto. Mr. Par sons seconded the resolution. The petition was then read. It prayed that the petitioners might be relieved from the payment to the Corporation of London of any tax on coals brought into the county of Hert ford by canal or railway, &c. Mr. R. W. Gaussen then moved that the Noble Earl be requested to present the petition to the House of Lords, that Mr. Halsey be requested to present it to the House of Commons, and that the other Members be soli cited to support it. After some discussion, Mr. H. Baillie, M.P., said the charge against the City of London was nothing more than swindling.—(Cheers.) They introduced a Bill last session of Parliament to consolidate their Acts of Parliament. Such a Bill was generally understood, it was an Act merely to consolidate other Acts, and excited but little notice. Now the charge against the City was that they intro duced a clause in the Bill to tax the people of St. Albao's, and extend the coal duty to a radius that had Lot existed before. Was not that an act of swindling? —(Yes, yes, and applause ?) If a private individual had committed the same sort of thing, what would have been the result ? He hoped that inquiries might arise which would effect some reform in that city.— (Applause.) The Earl of Verulam observed that the third reading of the Bill in the House to which he belonged took place on the 7th August. It was the last day of the session, and, to the best of his recollec tion, was almost the last Act that was read. After some further discussion, the resolution was approved of, and the usual thanks being voted to the Noble Earl in the chair, the meeting broke up. DESPERATE ATTEMPTAT MURDER NEAR TEMPLE-BAR. Yesterday morning, at a quarter-past two o'clock , the attention of police constables Short, No. 18 F, and Wright, 96 F, was attracted by the noise of a brawl at the corner of Chair•court, Ship-yard, Temple-bar. They immediately proceeded to the spot, and found two men engaged in a desperate struggle, one of whom suddenly staggered and tell to the ground, exclaiming " Oh, my God, lam stabbed!" The policeman immediately se cured his antagonist, and the wounded man was raised from the ground and speedily conveyed to King's Col lege Hospital, Carey -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, where he was txamined by Mr. Davis, the house-surgeon. It was found that ho had sustained three severe wounds in the region of the heart, the nature of which precludes the slightest hopes of his recovery, and he has since totally been unable to give any account of the transac tion. The instrument which had been used by the as sassin was found on the place of encounter and secured by the police. It is a stiletto with a white handle, and the blade is one foot in length. The point of it was bent, as if it had encountered some hard substance. The name of the wounded man is James Quilley, and he re sides at No. 1, Caroline-row, Coppice row, Clerhf nvvell. The accused, who is a person of gentlemanly appear ance, was conveyed to Bow- street station-house, and on being searched another knife of a very formidable ap pearance was found secreted on his person. Ile refused to give his name, or to furnish any account of himself whatever. ONE MILLION DOLLARS REWARD.
