COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 4. SEDUCTION.-DINGLE V. BAKER. This was an action brought by a father to receive compensation for the loss he had sustained by the withdrawal of the services of his daughter. The case was tried at Devon during the last assizes, be fore the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, when the plaintiff was non suited, on the ruling of the Learned Judge that, as the daughter had left the residence of her father, who was the keeper of a toll-gate, and placed herself under the protection of the defendant of her free will, that an action would not lie. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE applied for a rule to set the verdict aside or for a new trial, and urged in support various points of law. He said that the case was of the utmost importance, and as the decision of the Judge caused great public excitement, and came upon him by surprise, he trusted the Court would accede to his application. Lord DENMAN said he considered the Learned Counsel entitled to a rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 4. (Sittings in Banco.) WITHAM V. LYNCH. Sir FITZROY KBLLY moved to rescind an order of Mr. Baron Platt, of the 16th of July last, charging the suitors' fund in the Bank of England with the pay ment' of a judgment debt of 4,0071. 175., recovered in the above action. The defendant was a superanu ated Master of the Court of Chancery, and entitled in that capacity to a pension of 1,5001. per annum, payable under the provisions of various Acts of Par liament, out of sums deposited in the Bank of Eng land, in the name of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Baron Platt made the order, charging the fund and the interest thereupon, with the payment of this debt ; and the plaintiff had sub sequently commenced an action against the Bank of England. The Learned COUNSEL also moved, as a substantive, part of the above motion, to stay proceedings, inas much as the action was commenced in direct violation of an Act of Parliament, 1 and 2 Vic., which provided that no action could be commenced on any such order until after the expiration of six calendar months from the date of the order. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that he did not think that any action could lie, as the order amounted to a charge to be enforced in equity.—Rule granted. ADMIRAL7'Y COURT, 2Vov. 4. :THE BORDERER.-SALVAOE. The barque Borderer, of 400 tons, from Shields to Aden, in charge of an acting-master, with a cargo of coals, coming into the Downs, at about six o'clock in the morning of the 2flth of December, got upon the Goodwin Sands. The sloop Tartar, of 20 tons, belonging to Broadstairs, prepared to render service to vessels in distress, came to her assistance, and put some men on board. The barque was soon got into deep water, and anchored off the North Foreland. For their services on this occasion the master and crew of the Tartar claimed a salvage reward, alleging that the sand upon which the barque struck was the Goodwin Knoll of the North Sand Head, whereas the owners of the barque asserted that it was the Burnt Sand Head. Almost every other material point was in dispute between the parties. The owners con tended that, if a case of salvage at all, it was one of the slightest description, the vessel having come off with out any aid from the asserted salvors. Having heard Dr. Phillimore and Dr. Robertson for the salvors, and Dr. Harding and Dr. Twiss for the owners, Dr. LUSHINGTON, after condemning the practice of masters of vessels employing acting-masters —persons not elected by their owners—to conduct them through a dangerous navigation, was of opinion that, as the acting-master of the bark had suffered the salvors to come on board and retained them, it was too late to turn round and deny that they were salvors. Upon the whole, he came to the conclusion that a certain service had been performed, but that it was of a very slight description, and he considered 601., with the expenses, to be an ample remuneration for them. Dr. Stonestreet, who was admitted on the 2d inst. an advocate of the Arches' Court, was introduced in the usual form, and admitted an advocate of this Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday Joseph Green, Edward Thomas, and Catherine Curtis, who have been in the habit of robbing in concert in the streets of London, were brought before the Lord Mayor by Joseph Heding ton and Michael Heydon, two of the most active of the City police, charged, the woman with having robbed a Mr. Allen of his watch, and the two men with having aided and assisted in the robbery. A little before six o'clock on Wednesday evening the two officers saw the prisoners pass from High street in the Borough, over London-bridge, and, having particularly observed their features under a gas lamp, and guessed their business, followed them. The movements of the prisoners were according to the most approved plans of the fraternity. The woman went in front of the men, and spoke to a gen tleman, who did not notice her. She then passed on into King William-street, through Prince's street, and to the corner of Lothbury, where she ad dressed another gentleman, her companions drop ping, as in the first instance, behind with peculiar tact. Having failed in this experiment, she joined her companions for a short time, and then separated from them. At last she spoke to a gentleman in Cornhill, while Green waited at the corner of Ex change-buildings, and Thomas ran along Cornhill on the side opposite to that on which she was engaged. After some time occupied in this sort of manceuvering the woman caught hold of a gentleman near Lime street, the two men having so placed themselves as to be able to conceal whatever plunder she might succeed in getting by her eager exertions. Suddenly she dropped away from the person she bad laid hold of, and one of the officers asked the gentleman whether he had lost anything. He replied in the negative ; but upon being requested to search his pockets, said at once that his watch was gone. The officers, who had marked_ every motion of the pri soners, finally succeeded* apprehending them all. Green, upon being sei , ke for the robbery, struck He clington on the cheek with 'the butt end of a whip which he carried, and mad a desperate attempt to escape. Upon his person were found a watch, gold guard chain, and seal, a diamond ring, a mourning ring, and a gold pin, a sovereign, ten shillings, and 1O 1. Upon Thomas, who was immediately after wards apprehended by Hayden, were found a bunch of ten keys, a knife, and an empty purse. Suspecting that the female prisoner, who had got away in the confusion and struggle, would return to the Borough, Haydon, the instant he placed the prisoner in the custody of Hedington, ran in that direction, and over took her at the foot of London-bridge. Upon being taken into custody, kkd told what for, she trembled excessively, and, catching the officer by the hand, pulled him towards the balustrades of Fishmongers'- hall. She then put her hand into her pocket, and kirselling out a silver watch, said, "Here it is, Sir, is." That watch was the article she had stolen ,frote ntleman she had caught hold of near lbw-street. M-11. Allen, an officer of Excise, stated that a woman walked up to him about seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, and asked him some question about a railroad, as ,ehe believed. Soon afterwards Hedington came up and asked him whether he had lost anything, and requested that he would search his pockets. To his great surprise he at once ascer tained that his watch was gone, and that his watch guard was cut and banging about his neck. The robbery must have been effected momentarily, and with great skill, for he felt nothing at all of a pull or a push. The LORD MAYOR, having heard all the particulars of the manner in which these ingenious thieves were followed by the officers, said it was with no ordinary satisfaction he found it to be incumbent upon him to express himself strongly in approbation of the conduct of Haydon and Hedington upon the present and upon many former occasions. By the active instru mentality of these and some others of the City police force, who had heads as well as hands to work with, they had succeeded in bringing to justice several of the ringleaders of the most desperate gangs of thieves in the metropolis. He should take care, by ordering the City Solicitor to prosecute in this in stance, to match the ingenuity of those who might be selected for the defence of such delinquents ; and he gave notice that, whenever he should find prisoners of the "swell mob" amongst those brought before him, he should take care to hand them over to the same legal authority, to be dealt with as far as the law could deal with them. The prisoners were then committed for trial. A man named Henry Kirby, in the employment of Messrs. Thornton, Nicholls, and Pellatt, as assistant to the steam•boat money-taker at the Old Shades Pier, was summoned before the Lord Mayor for having used language calculated to lead to a breach of the peace. Captain Evans, a retired officer of the Artillery, re siding in Upper Porchester-street, Cavendish-square, stated, that as he was going down the sloping plat form of the pier, the defendant, who was dressed in a sort of uniform, called out to him that he must not pass without a ticket. Witness said he wanted to see whether a friend of his was waiting for him, but the defendant rudely refused to comply, and witness re turned, but not before he was assailed with foul lan guage and called a " dirty beggar." Determined to punishal e a d person t g h u e i l : t d y e fe o n f d s a o n t u n f p o r r o v h o i k s e n d a m a n e ü b t u r t a g n e o , a 4 t 3 te e ntion was paid to the call, and subsequently the conduct of the fellow aggravated the cause of the complaint. The Evans t C h a e p Captain v ape oaf difficulties lane obtain ed somethingthe u,ay in satisfaction, did not deter him from fol lowing up the complaint, b u t the assistance Of spector of police was necessary before he could suc ceed in obtaining the name and address of Kirby. A gentleman from the establishment of Messrs. Thornton and Co., attended, and stated that the de fendant was a valuable servant, and had not been known to give offence to gentlemen. The LORD MAYOR said it was quite evident that if the defendant was in the habit of being civil he had deviated very much on the occasion described from his usual practice. His Lordship then fined Kirby 10s. and costs, and Captain Evans expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the decision, and handed over the costs to the Lord Mayor's poor-box. BOW-STREET. THE LATE GAMBLING TRANSACTION.--The three men, Ralph, Brewer, and Barr, who were remanded to this day on the charge of defrauding Mr. Carey of 1,4001., and upwards, were again brought before Mr. Henry. The evidence of Lewis and that of Mr. Carey were repeated at great length, and a remand having been applied for.by Mr. Ballantyne (for the prosecu tion), was granted by Mr. Henry. Next Thursday was fixed for the further hearing of the case. WORSHIP-STREET. George Robinson, a market-gardener, who had hien in custody since the preceding Monday, was charged with stealing a pocket-handkerchief, the property of John Hatfield, an ex-policeman of the A division. The prosecutor, Hatfield, at the former examina tion stated, that while proceeding in the direction of Hackney-fields, between six and seven o'clock on Monday evening, be suddenly felt a twitch at his coat-pocket, and that . upon turning round his hand kerchief was given h i m by a constable, who had seen the prisoner drop it, and who afterwards pursued and took him into custody. On being interrogated by the magistrate, the wit ness, with a good deal of hesitation and evasion, ac knowledged that he had previously seen the prisoner and constable at a public-house, and that he had there tossed the former for dlink, but said that, in conse quence of his offensive conduct, and to get rid of his company, he had left the house. When called upon for his defence the prisoner ear nestly protested his innocence, and said, that having been gambling for some time in the front of the bar with the constable and his accuser, who persisted in drinking his porter, an altercation ensued between them, and at the conclusion of it the prosecutor threw a quantity of beer over him, and after conducting himself in a most offensive manner went out with the constable. He (the prisoner) followed them soon after, but had only gone a few yards, when the pro secutor turned round and accused him of picking his pocket ; upon which the constable instantly seized him and produced a handkerchief, which he said he had seen him drop, and although it was stated at the time by a lid who was standing by that he had seen the prosecutor himself drop the handkerchief at his feet, the constable still persisted in taking him in charge, and dragged him off to the station-house. Percival Terry, 63 N, stated that, being off duty, he called at the public-house to procure some refresh ment, and there saw the prisoner standing at the bar, where he was shortly after joined by the prosecutor, who came out of the parlour, and that at:the conclusion of some conversation between them he left the house, without any tossing or gambling having taken place, that he saw. The prisoner also left soon after the prosecutor, and was followed by witness, who over. took them near the canal-bridge, when the prosecutor charged the prisoner with picking his pocket, and he, having seen the latter throw away three handker chiefs, he secured them, and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner assured the magistrate that the con stable's evidence was a gross perversion of the truth, and, having delared that two of the handkerchiefs the officer said he had seen him throw away and se cured were taken from his hat at the police-station by one of the constables there, hoped that time would be allowed him to rebut what the officer stated. The MAGISTRATE, therefore, remanded him for that purpose ; and yesterday Mr. William Ansford, a tradesman in the neigh bourhood, who said that he was a stranger to both parties, attended, and stated, that happening to enter the public-house at the time in question, he heard the prosecutor wrangling with the prisoner upon the subject of some gambling transaction which had pre viously taken place between them. The constable was also present, drinking with the prosecutor, and the latter used such exasperating language to the prisoner that the landlord at length interfered and ordered them both out of the house. The prosecutor and constable then left together, and were followed in a few minutes by the prisoner, but what afterwards occurred he was not aware of. Sergeant Thurston, who received the charge at the station, stated that the prisoner while there strenu oully denied having seen the handkerchief, repeating the same statement he had made in court, and that, having known him for some time, he believed him to be an honest, hardworking man. The prisoner's master, an extensive nurseryman, also spoke in the highest terms of his integrity and general good conduct. Mr. ARNOLD, upon this said that be felt some di fficulty in expressing his sense of the disgraceful man ner in which the evidence had been given in the first instance, the prosecutor having entirely omitted to disclose his previous connexion with the prisoner, a n d pickpo c k e t , i n consequence of s 4 induced him to believe that it was an or di nary case '4 : l"iie hdays the upon a felonybly-naanchoamdmbeen on depriv e d o f hi s lib erty f or four scandalous charge, for which he (the rragisArate) now felt satisfied the re was not t h e slightest foundation. He much regretted the man had been subjected to such treatment, and had he known at the time all the circumstances which had since transpired, he should have dealt very differently with the case; he should now, therefore, order him to be immediately discharged. BLOCK PRINTED GOODS FOR TRANSMISSION TO THE QUEEN.—We have heretofore noticed the efforts which are being made by the block printers of this and the adj9ining counties to save their art from the destruction which seems to await it from machinery, as well as the fret that the Queen had not only been graciously pleased to accept two splendid dress pieces of block printed muslin do laine, which they had presented to her, but that she had expressly requested that other patterns might be forwarded for her inspection. Two or three weeks have since then transpired, and in the interval the committee of the block-printers' society had been busily engaged ire getting together a great var i ety o f spec i mens o' diffirent materials and patterns. The goods were ex on Saturday last, at Mr. William Lang's, the itird Lion Inn, Chapel-street, Salford ; and, although no public intimation of the fact had been given, they at tracted a very large number of visitors. The 'patterns were forwarded to her Majesty on Saturday night; and it is to be hoped that she will select from them so largely for the ladies of the Court as at once to create a demand for these rich and beautiful fabrics on the part of every la, iy in the land. The depressed art of the poor block peiater may thus be saved front speedy extinction, and thousands of deserving men be snatched from poverty and misery.—Manchester Ezaminer. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—In July, 1840, Mr. John Bibby, a merchant of the utmost respectability in Liver pool, and the founder of the Irish Bank, was found drowned in a pit in a remote field near Aintree, six miles from Liverpool, and three from Mr. Bibby's residence at Bootle. On the preceding evening Mr. Bibby had dined at the Royal Bank, and had partaken rather freely of wine. He left about eleven o'clock, and took a car to a spat within 300 yards of bis own resi dence, as ho was in the habit of doing, but he never reached home. As he was a gentleman of great firm ness of mind, it was supposed by his friends that he had been waylaid and thrown into the pit where the body was found, and in this opinion they were confirmed by the discovery that his watch was missing. Search was made for it and the pit emptied in vain, the watch could not be found; but as there was no mark of violence on the body it w as cons id ere d poss ibl e that the deceased ellkno‘n stranger took a what ta h h ew ad e b v e e e r n , robbednewlight of his watch, and that he had wandered watch to thrown ß s , the the wto the place o f t h e f ata l acc id ent. Last Wednesday, watchmake rs i u Li verpoo l , to h ave it repaired. On I°ing at it they di scove red that the original number had been d e f ace d an d anot h er su b s tituted. On further examination they found their own private mark , placed on the w a t c h when they had repa i re d it for the late Mr. Bibby. On Saturday the stranger called for it , and on being qustioned, the watch was traced to a disreputable character, the keeper of a disorderly house. Two men are in custody, and the police are making further inquiry THE NEW Bisttor OF MANCH EST ER.—MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM.—Tuesday evening a meeting of theinha bitants of Birmingham was held at t he Town-h all , for the purp ose of considering the propriety of presenting a testimonial to the Rev. James Prince Lee on his ap pointment to the recently erected bishopric of Man chester. The meeting, which was numerously attended, showed i n i ts const i tut i on the high esteem in which th e Reverend G en tl eman wa s held. Among those present were—Robe r t M ar ti nea u, Esq., the Mayor, the Right Rev. the L or d Bi s h op o f Worcester, the Rev. J. Garbett (Rural Dean), Mr. Scholefield, M.P., Mr. Spooner, M.P., the lion. Fred. Gough, the Rev. Dr. Raphall (Jewish Rabbi), a numerous body of the magistracy, members of the corporation, clergymen and dissenters, and gentlemen of all political and religious opinions. The Mayor occupied the chair. Resolutions carrying out the object of the meeting, and highly complimentary to the bishop elect, were .unanimously adopted. Nu merous speakers, of various denominations, addressed the meeting; a committee, &c., was appointed, and the subscriptions limited to five guineas. About 3501. was subscribed in the room. CAPITAL WAY TO COOK CABBAGE.--PerMit me to introduce a most excellent solid dish, quite good enough for an emperor; that is, an emperor with a keen appetite and a falling exchequer:—A large drumhead cabbage, lid. ; quarter of a pound of fat bacon, 2d. ; pepper and salt, Oid.; total, 4d. Cut this cabbage in two; cut a hole in the centre of each half, big enough to admit the bacon ; put the two sides together, having well peppered the interior ; tie them up in a cloth : tell the cook it is a plum pudding, and must be boiled three or four hours ; then chop it up and serve it hot. If properly done it will stick to the ribs much better than soup mulgre.—Correspondent of Irish Farmer's Journal. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. ROEBUCK. BATH, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Since the defeat of Mr. Roebuck at the late elec tion a numerous body of his friends and supporters determined upon presenting him with some testimo nial of their respect for his past services, and this day was appointed for that purpose. The late Member arrived by the express train from London, and was received at the station by a large body of his supporters with a band of music, who escorted him in procession to the Guildhall, where the presentation was to take place, the large banquet ing room of which was crowded by more than two thousand persons, the gallery being filled by well. dressed ladies. Upon Mr. Roebuck's entrance he was received with deafening cheers, which lasted for several mi nutes. After which, Admiral Gordon having been called to the chair, the business of the day com menced. The CHAIRMAN said they had done him the honour to place him in that chair, and he now stood in the very same place in which he had stood eight years since for a precisely similar purpose, and on which occasion they had presented their then re presentative, Mr. Roebuck, with a magnificent service of plate. The committee, therefore, had now thought it right to present their testimonial in sterling coin, enclosed in a cabinet the workmanship of Bath artists of elegant design, and emblematic of political liberty. The Gallant Admiral then alluded to the valuable services of Mr. Roebuck in Parliament, in his oppo sition to slavery, and to his powerful assistance in frittering to the winds the shackles which had bound them ; to his opposition to the renewal of the East India Company's charter, which gave them a mono poly of the trade of India and China ; to the Bank Charter Act ; to his advocacy of a reform of the abuses in the Court of Chancery ; to his assistance in obtaining the Municipal Reform Act, by means of which they (the burgesses of Bath) had now the management of their affairs in their own hands ; to the establishment of the Local Courts, which had brought cheap and speedy justice to every man's door; and to a variety of other measures, the advo cacy of which (said the Gallant Admiral) stamped Mr. Roebuck as one of the most useful men in Parliament, and showed him to be the friend of civil and religious liherty.—(Cheers.) Indeed, many of those who opposed Mr. Roebuck, and who had been the means of unseating him, had expressed their wish that he should have a place in Parliament, though not for Bath, declaring that he was too useful and too valuable a man for them to wish him out of Parlia ment. The address accompanying the testimonial was then read as follows : " Sir,—We, the burgesses and inhabitants of the city of Bath, respectfully tender for your acceptance the present testimonial, expressive in some degree of those sentiments of esteem, confidence, and regard which we so cordially entertain for you. " The many years you represented us in the House of Commons are associated with recollections of talent, consistency, and public usefulness on your part that can never be erased from our minds, while the political views and sentiments which you declared upon first coming among us, so friendly to the wel fare of the people and the growth and spread of rational liberty, have been rendered doubly valuable by the faithfulness with which you have upheld them as our representative, and the material assist ance you have rendered in applying them to some of the most important interests and institutions of our country. " We did indulge the hope that you would again be our representative, that services so important and faithful would have their proper weight with the constituency, and that the predilections and prejudices of party would yield to claims that have been little less than universally recognised. " In this, our just expectation, we have been pain fully disappointed, and we now urge your acceptance of the present testimonial, which has been contri buted to, not only by the 1,03 who faithfully voted in accordance with your claims, and their own con victions, but also by very many other inhabitants of our city anxious thus to testify their opinions of the integrity and fearlessness with which you have ever discharged your duty as a representative of the people, without regard to either party considerations or per sonal interest. With this inadequate expression of our esteem and regard, you may well believe that we associate our most earnest wishes for your continued public usefulness. We trust that some other consti tuency, more justly appreciating your worth, will enable you to resume your place in the House of Commons ; and, while we fervently trust that every blessing will rest upon your personal and domestic interests, we cherish the hope that you may yet be made largely instrumental in promoting the pros• perity, the strength, and happiness of the empire. " Signed, on behalf of the meeting, " HENRY GORDON, Chairman." The Gallant Admiral then made the presentation of the cabinet, which was of carved oak, and highly emblematic in its design, and contained, as we were informed, 500 sovereigns in gold. Mr. ROEBUCL then rose, and was greeted with a torrent of applause, and after a few words of caution for them not to stamp on the floor, as so many feet doing 30 might, as the authorities conceived, render it dangerous, he said he had now to offer to the Gallant Admiral and to them all the expression of his most grateful acknowledgments for the mode which they had taken to give expression to their kind feelings towards him.—(Cheers.) They would pardon him fur hesitating in his speech, for his mind was at present made up of so many mingled emotions that he scarcely knew how to give to them expression or utterance. It was made up of mingled pleasure and pain, of resentment and of gratitude. Pleasure he must feel in having thus tendered to him the testi mony—their unbought and unsolicited approbation of his public conduct; and the services which he had long rendered to them were now repaid and re warded in the only way which was left to them to express their approbation.—(Cheers.) There was a time when, not by them, but by others, it might have been differently expressed.—([Tear, hear.) For, he could not forget that in his person the good feeling of his country had been outraged and insulted. He was not vain, nor was it vanity when he said that he could not help feeling, as the result of the late election for Bath, that an honest man, serving the people honestly and faithfully, and serving the people only, could not retain his hold upon a large constituency by whom, for years, he had conscientiously performed his duty. They would pardon him, but his mind was now a tangled skein, and if they would grant him their patience, and bear with him for a while, he would endeavour to unravel it, and in doing so he must enter upon a retrospect of his public career. And he felt that he ought to do so, inasmuch as he was now addressing what might be his last words to them.—(" No, no.") There were times when a man must turn his mind inwards upon himself, and this was one of those times. When, fifteen years ago, he made his first public appearance in the city of Bath he made to them a statement of his political sentiments; and he then made his first public political appeal to a constituency of the greatest people ever known ; and they would believe him when he said that, in making that appeal, he ti odlas di He n h dmtsteA, ihh a recei d ebaonanshmteuld d i ounddahphnl because honest ly warmly. ieane eowf a ct st how ever, wiseate eesdr. maturely weighed and had a due sense of the respon sibility, the heavy responsibility attaching to a repre e d n e pbmtt3plefbhae s ibiyheeuhi e eovaerhcecayt n aaeldtsataeutdnorr t e,fyunb a sr:auagdthesdy t ainoot,ette i etrhhd v hdsffhhfal ata e heyeefhevtuhsiyunsarhetep i tedmlwh n esreoyadyfhpnhroaapat P umretaduahpnahlia a drnlelparidniydr r imnodtopcgd l uivf i riashs a ppeloathi stpveot m dnlhvkhrl iirehitscfreeo,os e oi ogudeu,sfu n lfndel-wbygt op t cemeseehuhlfnohsocc o aaii tnaecnetl f onitpla trt claim themrs, edp h anramotethaiah e rtuh; people. hrfiytaaoiaudponitei.i,sipssosuoscohfl ecliomierfant political sometimes nsn — euhvhddsae e ( crt them—(Cheers)—for iehtl h vytdro e eaveu e c mr r cgkea s ehea ) bn. dn_t — udkc f (aea o acnd r l fifteenrdhueetmwwhe rnoaitherefore,strsy hel, haaw ß inmwh u do t es , teahh i lp n afeod s non t f e t whaii in his Bs u o cc of hae lah t utr h aomg i n s aedndn: c sa l wtwtaheieidamrt that ) me e i n g intemperanceconceded, and h e abuse, w was (s. should l ßut nd w . e a cT s it ihn ee t to no b s eavvveeaxri answers ) he gave hurt the feelings of some persons in the town who were his calumniators; and, from that time to the present, they had never forgiven him. The prin ciples he then propounded he still adhered to, and what was more was, that although they were then deemed revolutionary and ultra-demagogical, yet they were now adopted by his opponents, and avowed by every thinking politician.—(Cheers.) He had maintained those principles fearlessly, and in order that he might do so he had not allied himself with any party ; for this also he had been blamed— (Cries of "No, no.") If he had allied himself to the party of Sir Robert Peel, it was true that he might have stood higher as regarded wealth and station, but he should have been obliged to follow them through paths of diplomacy and policy with which he did not and could not agree.—([fear, hear.) Then if he could not ally himself with Sir R. Peel, it was asked why he had not joined the party of the Whigs. Why for the very same reasons—because he could not agree with them in all their varied measures; for he had not changed, although by slow degrees th e Whigs had come round to him ; and if his senti ments, as expressed by him in 1832, were now read, it would be found that there were very few of those sentiments that had not been adopted, even by the Conservatives themselves.—(Cheers.) His Gallant Friend said, that the very men who had opposed his (Mr. Roebuck's) return had told him (Admiral Gor don) that they wished him (Mr. Roebuck) to be in Parliament, though not for Bath ; but he would tell those who said so, and who thought that he ought to be attending their balls and their pvti, , that th€. ) , very much misunderstood the duties of a representa tive in Parliament if they thought that he ought to employ his time in bringing clown parties to balls and parties, instead of devoting his time and his energies to the service of his country, and to the promotion of the welfare of the entire community. —(Cheers.) The result of his late signal defeat had been, he thought, an injury to political morals; for if men who faithfully adhered to their principles, who had maintained their independence, who had been con sistent in their conduct, and faithful to their service, during a lengthened period of 15 years, were to have no claim upon a constitue nc y, th e resu lt, said, would be to drive public men into party associations, in stead of maintaining their independence, which could not but prove injurious to political morals— (Hear)—and subversive of political honesty.---(Hear, hear.) His defeat might, however, be productive of good, for it had roused the public spirit, and without vanity he might say that since his defeat he had re ceived more flattering testimonials to his Parlia mentary conduct than he had ever received in his life ; and that from John o' Groat's house to the Land's-end in Cornwall there was hardly a news paper but had expressed, first its astonishment at that defeat, and next its regret that it should have hap pened ; and said that his career in Parliament, in stead of being entirely useless, as had been alleged by his opponents, had not been without its usefulness and reflected honour on him.—(Cheers.) But it had been said at the late election that he (Mr. Roebuck) had no claims upon the constituency of Bath ; and this, too, was said by the Dissenters. It was, to say the least of it, an ungracious speech, coming from a body for whom and whose rights and liberties he had all along fought, though he did not belong to thew. He (Mr. Roebuck) was not a Dissenter, but belonged to and ;was an attached member of the Church of England. He, therefore, laboured under no disabili ties—he wanted no religious privileges that were not fully accorded him—he belonged to the dominant party, and might have kept his foot upon the neck of the Dissenters, but that he had said he was for equal liberty, and for an equality of rights without any religious distinctions—(Hear)—and had therefore advocated the removal of the disabilities of the Jew and the Roman Catholic, as well as the Dis senter.—(Cheers.) A GENTLEMAN here interrupted the speaker for a moment, and said, that the architect had assured him that the floor of the banqueting-hall would be per fectly safe, notwithstanding the immense number of persons now upon it, if they would only abstain from stamping with their feet. Mr. ROEBUCK resumed—His Gallant Friend, Ad miral Gordon, must be well aware that he had never entered that room that the cry of " Danger" was not raised, and he knew the inuendo of it quite well. He recollected in the year 1832, when the people were not permitted to enter that hall, that he was present when the tables were spread with all the luxuries of life. The declaration he then made wrung like a death knell in the ears of some who heard it. He then said, "It is the people's hall, and the people shall have it before I have done."—(Cheers.) He had no doubt that the persons in whose ears that knell then sounded did not believe that the change would be a beneficial one ; but it was adopted by the Legislature, and they (the old corporation) had to walk out of the left door with very little cere mony. But who were they who, under the old law, were excluded from those walls ?—the Dis senters, the Dissenters by name. The Dissenters dared not enter it. But by the exertions of such men as himself, and by his own exertions, by the continued pressure of their pens, their tongues, and their influence, the champions of freedom had en franchised the Dissenters, had made them equal under the municipal law, had introduced them at that door; and was it not a most ungracious return to make, for them to be the first to assert, and the most vigorous in carrying out that assertion, that the man who had been instrumental in making the change was un worthy of support ?—(Hear, hear.) It struck him that the true spirit of forbearance and toleration was not understood by the persons connected with the Dissenting bodies of this country. Those who had made the question of t?ie Maynooth grant, and that of secular education, a pretext for ousting him from the representation of Bath, could not have a just concep tion of what true tolerance was.—(Cheers.) He was no longer Member for Bath, and was responsible for his sentiments only to himself and to his country ; but he asserted that the Dissenting body of that neighbour hood had yet to learn a lesson of toleration and for bearance. If they did not learn it, and practise it too, the great body of the Church of England would still be able to keep them in a state of thraldom; for unless they asserted and adhered to the principles of civil and religious liberty, and appealed to the really Liberal members of the Church party for as sistance, they could not hope to work out their regeneration.—(Cheers.)• So surely as they helped to point the shaft of scandal and misrepresenta tion—so surely as they tried to import the bitter ness of religious hatred into the political strug gle—so sure would be the retribution which would follow, and from which the Dissenters themselves would be the first to suffer.—(Cheers.) And he must add, that unless the suffrage was greatly ex tended, the Dissenting body of this country was not worthy to possess it. If they would persist in in• stilling religious bitterness and hate into politics, he for one would not give them the power of sharpening the shaft, and until they showed themselves more worthy of the great boon of freedom they must not expect his assistance in obtaining it. He wished to live in fellowship with all his countrymen; he had worked for Jew as well as Dissenter—for Roman Catholic as well as Churchman, and for all his coun • trymen he had sought the blessing of perfect freedom, and be did intreat them to be more forbearing one towards another—not to Le so ready to attack and vilify their neighbours—nor to be so arrogant as to assume the powers of the Deity, and pronounce damnation on any one.—(Cheers.) He expressed it as his deliberate opinion, and he told the religious community that they must not continue the course they had been too long addicted to take—that of de crying those who differed from them in re ligious persuasion ; and that, above all, they must use forbearance and kindness towards every child of the human family. Their own case was based upon the right of private judgment, and the, moment they assailed that great privilege in the case of one human being, they began to kick down the fabric of religious liberty.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Roebuck then proceeded to offer some observations upon the present portentous state of the times. The present state of this country was a most momentous one. England was threatened in a man ner which he had never before known during his political career. There was a greater amount of un employed labour than had ever been experienced before. Ireland was threatened with another year of famine ; Europe, from one end to the other, was like a hot volcano, and war was only avoided with the greatest possible difficulty. The greatest and most princely houses were tottering to their very founda tions; ruin and devastation were spreading through out the mercantile community, and, thence, through out every other portion of the land. Now, he would venture to say, that if some of the advice which he gave last year, and some of the prophesies which Cassandra-like, he uttered, had been attended to,- some, he might say much of this pressure, difficulty, and distress, would have been avoided. He was one, and almost the only one, who stood up against the lavish and almost useless expenditure for Ireland.— (Hear.) If the millions which had been sent abroad for corn which had been wasted and destroyed in Ire- land had been retained, the great pressure on England would have been avoided. He had warned the House of Commons—and in private he did not meet a single man who did not admit that he was right, although in public there was not one but who said that he was wrong—he warned them that in sending away their millions to purchase corn which was wasted, they were draining the life's blood of England's commerce. —(lear.) It was not often that he and the Times newspaper agreed together, but he did say that if Parliament had listened to the Times or to himself much suffering would have been spared. They might depend on it that of the great battle of free trade they had only yet won one heat—they would have that struggle to contest over again. They heard it from the Tory party everywhere that all the mischief was owing to free trade. So surely as the session of Par liament came, so surely would they have to battle for that great principle. Turn to the Morning Herald, he did not care of what day, and they would see that all the evils were ascribed to free trade—it had done all.—(Hear, hear.) He was a farmer now, and mixed with farmers, and he did not go to an agricultural meeting but he heard " See what Cob den has brought us to," and the landlords would chuckle and say, " Yes, he has brought the country to a pretty pass. What can Peel say t o thi s ? w h at will he say of his free. trade champion now ?" That all was Cobden's fault was already said, and what was worse a great many believed it. Depend upon it the great battle must be fought over again ; he was vain enough to think that he might have been of use in the fight.—(Hear.) B u t it was no t to b e; h e cou ld not be in the melee now, but he must only stand by and look on. Let no man thi n k t h at h e treate d t h e ma tt er lightly. He believed that they were approaching a great crisis in the hi s t or y o f th e i r coun t r y—a crisis in which not only free trade, but the great principle of freedom of thought, would be brought into issue, and unless they stood true to their principles, neither turning to the night n or to the left, the enemies of freedom, the friends of monopoly, would be too power ful. Mr. Roebuck then observed upon the fact of Mr. Cobden, who had been feted abroad, and who was one of the first men in the House, not having been called to her Majesty's councils, and ascribed it to his not being distinguished in high places but merely a manu facturer and the son of an Essex farmer. It would behove every man to be prepared to take his post at the proper time. He should be prepared to take his. He lid r, ,t, :.7peet, indeed ho did not hope to he avair) called upon to take his place in Parliament. He hoped that he might have a rest from political toil for some years to come.—(Hear.) lie would neyer ally him- 4,575 8,350 12,887 14,460 18,730 12,665 4,233 3,257 8,857 5,030 6,695 16,449 13,739 30,994 16,822 25,697 2,208 25,287 12,877 9,000 10,298 11,659 11,946 10,543 16,022 18,426 4,794 26,923 4,767 44,069 13,838 25,449 5,273 self with party, however flattering the invitation might be ; but the time might come when some of his countrymen might ask Lis services, and ask him to represent them; and should it be so, as faithfully as he had represented Bath, so faithfully would he re present them.—(Cheers.) The rwinciples he had ever advocated he should adhere to; te nd those who had deprived him of his seat, if they thought they had cowed his spirit or altered his intention, were mis taken.—(Cheers.) They had not softened his spirit; they had not assuaged his anger • they ha no t de stroyed his resentment, and he did hope that in his fellow-countrymen he should find support far the great principles of civil and religious liberty he bad espoused, and that, without reference to any party in the State, he might yet find for himself some positio: l of usefulness. He believed that there was about to be a reconstruction of parties in this country, and they would enlist in the Senate the intelligence of all classes of the community.—(Cheers.) Mr. Roebuck then referred to his connexion with the trading and working classes, and concluded by thanking them for the testimonial ; and expressing a hope that no act of his would ever make him blush at beholding a testi monial intended to commemorate his fidelity to his trust.—(Cheers.) Alderman HUNT afterwards addressed the meeting, and thanks having been given to Admiral Gordon, and Nine cheers for Roebuck, the meeting separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

Attracted by this not very novel bait, there was a very crowded audience in the gallery, and the other parts of the house were also very well: filled. As the persons in the back part of the gallery are unable to see more than from a half to three-quatter o of the ring, there was a great pressure from behind oar. the front ranks, directly the hunting of the p i g began- This had not continued very long, when an alarm wa s given by some one in front, that the gallery was g ivii4 way. The house was immediately in confusion, thosal!' the pit crowding into the arena, and some of thos e in the gallery rushing down stairs, whilst others slid down t u l pillars supporting the gallery, or even boldly leap,r! thence into the arena. Mr. W a llett announced that, the performances were closed ; and that the p i g woal? given to the six competitors to be raffled for, or otne , _ ,wise disposed of as they thought fit.
