trttrb Ntittton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR sat only for a short time this morning. No case of any importance came be fore his Lordship. The Court rose early. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) LA SONNAMBUL A ._BOOSE Y V. DAVIDSON.This was an issue to try whether the defendant had or had not infri nge d th e copyr i g ht o f several songs in Bellinfs well-known opera of La Sonnam bula. Mr. Boosey, a music seller in Holles-street, Oxford-street, had published the songs in the opera. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Erie during the last term, and the jury found for the plaintiff, he having established his property in the music to their satisfaction. The declaration set forth that the music had been first published and printed in England, and the defendant pleaded thereto, first, that the plaintiff did not possess the copyright ; secondly, that he was not the pro prietor ; thirdly, that there was no copyright, even supposing the songs to have been first printed and published in England ; and, fourthly, that they were not first printed in England. Of course this raised the question, whether in point of law the plaintiff, a resi dent of England, could possess the copyright of a foreign work which had been assigned to him by a foreign author residing abroad. The Learned Judge who tried the cause considered this matter of sufficient importance to come under the review of this court in banco. The only proof given by Mr. Boosey of his proprietorship was a certificate from Stationers' Hall, setting forth that the music was first printed and published by him on the 10th of June, 1831; it gave no other account of the matter. The question whether the plaintiff could set up a claim to the copyright had been decided by the Lord Chief Baron in the case of Chappell v. Purday, as that Learned Judge had decided that a publisher in England could have no property like copyright in the musical compositions of a foreigner residing abroad, although the author might do so if the work was originally published here, and he were a resident in the country. Mr. Sergeant SHEA applied for a rule nisi, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why there should not be a new trial on the grounds stated above, which was acceded to. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) MORLEY V. ArrENBOROUSH. This was an action tried on the second day of the present term before Mr. Baron Platt, in which a ver dict was taken by consent for the sum of seven guineas, with leave for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit. Mr. MARTIN accordingly moved for a rule nisi in the case, on the ground that the defendant, a pawn broker, did not by sending his unredeemed pledges to any rooms for sale by public auction give title to the purchaser. The COURT intimated their opinion that they were not disposed to accede to the argument of the Learned Counsel. They would not, however, refuse the rule applied for.—Rule granted. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron PLATT and Common Juries.) 7ESSENMEYER V. ADCOCK. This case was again resumed to-day, and occupied tho attention of the Court during the whole of its sitting. The further hearing of the case was ad journed till to-morrow. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Gerrent of Nov. 5.) Susert.—To-day the raw Sugar market presented a healthy appearance: all parties were desirous to operate, prices advanced, and supplies were small. West India Muscovado of all qualities was in excellent demand, 890 hhds and tres finding buyers•, the rates paid are 6d, and in some cases is per cwt above those of Friday last. The total sales for the week amount to 3,100 hhds and trcs. The public sales held today were small. The market for Sugar of all kinds closes with an improving appearance. A public sale of 120 hhds of Barbadoes is declared for Tuesday. REFINED.—To-day prices were firm for refined goods, and the demand was active—Standard lumps at 53s to 53s 6d, and brown grucery 323 63 to 535. For Bonded crushed Sugar the demand is active for exportation, chiefly at 28s tid per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but a good business was concluded privately, and the rates paid were rather above those that prevailed previously. A cargo of Porto Rico sold at Ils 6d to 19s, and 500 chests brown and yellow Bahia 17s to 19s per cwt. MAURITIUS. --This afternoon the demand was active for Mauritius Sugar privately ; 2,897 bags 466 casks were offered at auction ; about 500 bags were withdrawn, and the remainder sold briskly at an advance on former fates of 63 to is per cwt ; fine yellow fetched 41s 6d, good 37s 6d to 393, middling 36s to 375, very low and ordinary brown 253 6d to 28s 6i, mid 29s to 29, 6d, fine 32s to 33s 6d, sugar drainage damaged and washed 29s 6d to 40s, and syruppy 29s 6,1 to 41s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 1,098 bags of Bengal Sugar were sold at the full value, viz. good middling white Benares 445, low 41s 6d to 425, damp and washed 41s 6d to 42s 6d per cwt. Madras was sought after, and stiffer rates were offered. Of Khaur Bengal 8,000 bags were sold in the private market, at 29s 3d. MOLASSES.—For West India of all sorts the market continues in a dull state, and prices aro on the decline. A parcel of good Antigua has been sold at 18s per cwt. Bengal Treacle is little wanted, and 17s to 185 is the value. Cocoa.—West India is offered rather under formra. rates, but buyers have operated with reluctance on all kinds, and the supply is more than sufficient for the de mand. Of 700 bags of Trinidad offered at auction, a part only sold : good grey 42s to 425 6d, middling 403 to 41s, good red 43s to 455. In Fureign there has been little passing privately, and 460 bags of Bahia at auction were taken in at 39s for fine bright red. A further fall it is expected will take place in the value of all kinds of Cocoa, as there is a plentiful stock here. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was in good demand, and 670 bags 24 casks at auction all sold at an advance on former rates of 2s to 3s—good coloury fetched 63s to 653, middling 52s 6d to 56s 6J, low middling 495 to 501 6d, fine fine ordinary 46s 6d to 48s 6d, fine ordinary 43s to 43s 6d, good ordinary 41s 42 . s 6d, triage 31s, an d d amage d 32s 6 3 to 465, very low ditto 15s to 13s Gd. Native met with increased atten tion, and 1,434 bags all found buyers at very low rates —goad ordinary 32s 61 to 333, real good ordinary 33s to 33s 63, and damaged 253 6,1 to 31s GI. Foe auction, 3,700 bags 200 casks Plantation Ceylon and 30 casks 200 barrels Jamaica are declared. TEA.—There is no improvement to notica in the value of Congou, but the low rates that exist induced the home trade to be more inclined to do business, and they have taken several parcels of all qualities ; indeed, the business concluded has been greater than daring the last few weeks. The rates accepted have qua lity lid to Bd, good common Sid to Bd, mid and but mid 9.1 to I Id, good strong black leaf is to Is 2d, fine and Pekoe flavour, is is 3d to is 7d; upon these terms there is, however, a desire on the part of holders to sell. Souchong met with little attention, and is offered at 8d to is 2d for ordinary and middling, and at is 3d to 2s 24:1 for good to fine. In Pouchong sales to a fair extent have been made at 3d to Bd. A fair amount of business has been concluded in green, but holders are sellers upon low terms. For .Pekoe Tea there are few buyers, cheap as all kinds are; we quote black leaf at 10d to is 6d, flowery 10d to 34 6d, and orange 8d to is 8d per lb. Since this day week the arrivals have been nnimportant, but the deli veries are upon a large scale for home consumption, and are likely so to continue on account of the cheapness of all kinds. Rim—To-day the demand was good for East India Rice and privately many purchases were made in all kinds and higher rates were paid. At public sale 517 bags Ceylon sold at 103 6d to 11 s for middling white, and which is an advance on former rates of 3d to 6d ter cwt. Sauo.—There is a better opinion entertained towards this article; but at present no advance can be noticed in the value. Privately, however, several parcels have been Old—low to mid small Pearl at 16s to 18s, and good to ilUe l9s to 23s per cwt. Sago Flour is little wanted, but " ..the supply i s sma ll, pr i ces are supporte d. 9 P lcEs.—The demand for brown Nutmegs has been 'Rive this w ee k , and the rates paid are fully equal to those that prevailed previously,indeed fine kinds brought cl per lb advance: at auctio 61 chests 5 boxes and 9 bags were all sold. Mace is in larger supply, and a decline in the value of 2d per lb has taken place ; but 42 chests Penang at Publi c sale all found buyers. Cloves are little required, n a I d prices te nd . downwards: of 66 chests Penang offerend auction a part only sold. For Pimento a good demand has beeexperienced, blt in consequence of th e supply having been larger, a slight decline in the val ue took place at : obtained auction 680 bags were all sold. Bl ac k P epper is not to sat any further reduction in pri ces , but exporters auction ra and the Lome trade operate with caution ; 757 bags of Tellicherry w ere so l d. Whitesells more freely, and at aucti on 121 case 8 were disposed of at 7iid to 7-id for fine Tellicherry, being the full value. The supplyisrery small of Cassia hignea, and buyers are compelled to pay farther ad. wanced rates. For Ginger there is onlylina ted de wand; prices are low. Cinnamon met with littl e s Lion, and there is a desire to sel l on previous low terms, viz., Ceylon, first so rt, 3s to 4s 6d, second is to 3s gird and fourth 641 to 2s 4d per lb. INDIGO.—Since the conclusion of the quarterly sales of East India the market has presented a firmer appear =ca. All kinds have been in good demand by exporters and the home trade, whilst the rates paid are 2d to 3d per lb. higher, and there is but a moderate quantity on offer. For Spanish full rates are asked. For auction 150 serons of Guatemala are declared. RUM, BRANDY AND HOLLAND& —Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon previous reduced terms, yet shippers and the home trade operated with caution an all sorts, and the total sales for the week are velY 100 puns ; fair quality 33 to 35 per cent. over proof at 3s 6d to 3s Bd, good 36 to 38 as 9d to 3s 11d, fine in small ,Leeward Island parcels 4s 2d to 4s 4d. For *lk moil tiarather lower rates having been again ea 4 W be brisket, and 300 puns THE SUN, have been sold at is 8d to Is 9cl proof strength. East India met with little attention, and proof is only worth Is 6d to is 7d. Demerara is not much in demand, and strong sorts can be obtained at 3s to 3s 3d. Brandy is not offered at any further reduction, but the home and export demand has been limited, and the supply keeps good. FRUlT.—There have been three public sales this week, consisting of 85 butts 41 caroteels Patrgs Currants, damaged, a part sold from 42s to 455; 4,113 drums Turkey Figs 38s to 50s; 303 boxes of Muscatel Raisins, layers, 42s to 465; 130 boxes, ditto bunch, 40s to 425, half ditto 425, quarters 48s: 76 casks new Dates taken in at 655. 1,550 boxes New Valentia Raisins at 38s, all sold; subsequently, a cargo by private con tract has been put on the market at the same price.

Of new Turkey Figs the arrivals have been considerable, and a great proportion of very inferior quality, and much out of condition; fine meets a ready sale at good prices. COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal met with less attention, and 41 bags at auction sold at 4s 6d to 4s 7d for good Teneriffe Silvers for exportation only, being rather cheaper. 200 bags are declared for auction. TURPENTINE.—Rough has fallen in value, and not much business has been done ; the latest rates accepted were 9s 6d to 9s 9d. For Spirits the market is in a dull state, and prices are on the decline, British drawn selling at 42s to 435, and American at 43s to 43s 63. Tar is still wanted, and the parcels sold were at 18s to 18s 6d for Stockholm, and at 19s 6d to 20s per barrel for Archangel. _ Ons.—A further increase has taken place in the stock of Fish Oils, and although there are sellers at a further reduction in prices, yet there is no increase to notice in the demand from exporters or the home trade.

ADMIRALTY COURT, 2Yov. 4. °THE BORDERIIR.-SALVAGE. 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 29th 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. LUSHINOTON, after condemning the practice of masters of vessels employing acting-masters — persons not elected by their owners---to conuct 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. M ANSION-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 h av i ng robbed a Mr. Allen o f 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 Prinee'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 had 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 in apprehending them all. Green, upon being seized for the robbery, struck He dington on the cheek with the butt end of a whip which he carried, and made 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 1011. Upon Thomas, who was immediately after wards apprehended by Haydon, were found a bunch of ten keys, a knife, and an enapty. purse. Suspecting that the female prisoner, who had got away in the confusion and struggle, would return to the Borough, Haydon, the instant he pla ce d th e p r i soner i n t h e , ran in that di rec ti on , an d over -bridge. Upon b e i ng t e o u o s h to h d e y r of at Hdi o e ief n o g ot to o n f London taken into custody, and told what for, she trembled excessively, and, catching the cfficer by the hand, pulled him towards the baustrades of Fishmongers'- ball. She then put her hand into her pocket, and pulling out a silver watch, sa id , " H ere it is, Sir, here it is." That watch was the article she had stolen from the gentleman she had caught hold of near Lime-street. Mr. G. 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 ho believed. Soon afterwards Iledington came up and asked him whether he had 1. st 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 hanging 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 tis faction he found it to be incumbent upon hial to express himself strongly in approbation of the conduct of llaydon 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 inge nu ity o f th ose w h o m i g ht b e 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, Nioholls, and Pellet, es ass;stant 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 Dorchester-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 cf his was waiting for him, but the defendant rudely refused to comply, and witness re turned, but not lefore he was assailed with foul lan guage and called " dirty beggar." Determined to punish a person gailty of so unprovoked an outrage, he called upon tle :defendant for his name, but no attention was pail to the call, and subsequently the conduct of the Mow aggravated the cause of the complaint. The difficulties placed in the way of Captain Evans in his attempt to obtain something in the shape of satifaction, did not deter him from fol lowing up the mplaint, but the assistance of an in spector of policewas necessary before he could suc ceed in obtainin: the name and address of Kirby. A gentleman from the establishment of Messrs. Thornton and Ck, attended, and stated that the de fendant was a xluable servant, and had not been known to give 4'l;e to gentlemen. The LORD Mtoß said it was quite evident that if the defendant we in the habit of being civil he had deviated very mtch on the occasion described from his usual practie. His Lordship then fined Kirby 10s. and costs, rnd Captain Evans expressed himself perfectly satisfiet with the decision, and handed over the costs to the ,ord Mayor's poor-box.

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 ih 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 liberty.—(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 ua 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 1,093 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. Rosnuew. then rose, and was greeted with a torrent of applause, and a. ter a few words of caution for them not to stamp on the floor, as so many feet doing co 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 for 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 lett to them to express their approbation.—(Cheers.) There was a time when, not by them, but by others, it might have been differently expressed.—(Hear, 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 had duly and maturely weighed and had a due sense of the respon sibility, the heavy responsibility attaching to a repre sentative in Parliament of the people. He had, how ever, offered himself upon mature consideration, after a youth spent in the necessary education, because he had early made up his mind that politics should be the future study and profession of his life. And he was bold to aver that since that period he had in no wise changed his principles, but he had asserted them honest ly and faithfully, though perhaps sometimes warmly. They then heard his declaration of political princi ples, and they approved of them—(Cheers)—for fifteen years they approved of them; he thought, therefore, that he had a right to claim and to demand a reward for faithful and long-continued service.—(Cheers.) But, instead of this claim being conceded, he wes met by a storm of virulence, invective, and calumny, and then was charged with intemperance and abuse, because he had warmly and sharply rebuked those who had thus calumniated him. But was it to be ex pected, he would ask, when thus attacked, and with a weapon in his hand, that he should decline to avail himself of its use to answer ?—(No, no.) The 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.—(Hear, 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 the 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 parties, that they very much misunderstood the duties of a representa tive in Parliament if they thought that he ought to employ his time in bringing down parties to belle 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 cons tit uency, t h e result, 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' G roa t' s h ouse t o t h e 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 Disse n t ers . It was , t o 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 them. 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 a ll th e l uxur i es of lit'e. . 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.) lie 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 the 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 lie 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 he did intreat them to be more forbearing one towards another —not to be 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. R oe b uc k th en p rocee d e d to offer sense 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 m uc h o f thi s pressure, difficulty, and distress, would h ave b een avo id e d. 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. —(Hear.) 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 mi g ht depend on it that of the greet 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 to this ? what 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.) But it was not to be; he could not be in the melee now, but he must only stand by and look on. Let no man think that he treated the matter lightly. He believed that they were approaching a great crisis in the history of their country—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 nor to the left, the enemies of freedom, the friends of monopoly, would be too power ful. Mr. Roebuck then observed upon the fact of ilr. Cobden, who had been filed 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 rit hope repoaredto t tak o e his. He did not expect, indeed he did be again 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.) lio would never ally burn- self with party, however flattering the invitation might be ; but the time might come when some of his countrymen might ask his 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 principles he had ever advocated he should adhere to; and those w h o 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 had not de stroyed his resentment, and he did hope that irx his fellow-countrymen he should find support for the great principles of civil and religious liberty be ha d espoused, and that, without reference to any party in the State, he might yet find for himself some position of usefulness. Ile 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.) 11 , 1 r. Roebu ck then referred to his connexion with the Wading avd working classes, and concluded by thanking then' the testimonial ; and expressing a hope that no a c t o his would ever make him blush at beholding a tes ti ; monial intended to commemorate his fidelity to his trust.—(Cheers.) Alderman Hu' afterwards addressed the meet ing, and thanks having been given to Admiral Gordon, and mine cheers for Roebuck, the meeting .separated' RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS' LIVERPOOL, NOVEMBER 4.1 STOCK EXCHANGE.—There has been an improved feeling in the share market tc , clay, with a larger business d‘lne2 al prices a little better.
