POLICE INTELLIGENCE.MONDAY. KEEPING AN ILLICIT STILL. An officer of excise charged a female named Elizabeth Lynch, and a man named Patrick Murphy, -- with jointly having in their possession an illicit still. The ()Leer stated, that in consequence of information he received, he went to a house rented by the prisoner Murphy, and in the cellar found a still in the care of Lynch ; lie also found 3G gallons of wash and 36 tubs.—ln consequence of some doubt entertained of Murphy renting the house, he was acquitted; but Lynch was ordered to pay £3O, or be committed for three months. INDICATIONS OF CIIIIISTMAS. A number of individuals, doubtless determined upon keep ing up, either by hook or by crook, the old practice of having a goose for Christmas dinner, were brought before the bench for stealing geese from the different markets, and their case's were summarily disposed of. RATHER LOQUACIOUS. t A respectably-attired female was summoned for hating had the chimney of her house.on fire. On being asked what she had to say, after dropping a most graceful courtesy, she began, " Your worship and gentlemen, that the chimney was on lire is most true, and that in consequence of a slattern of a servant maid who was engaged in fryinc , some soles, and negligently let the fat fall into the fire ;1 severely repri manded the hussy for her conduct, and I hope you will be pleased not to fine me, as I assure you, sirs, it is not from any negligence in not. having the chimney swept, but solely owing to the carelessness of the servant." In answer to a question as to what her husband was, she replied, " My husband, gentlemen, is a sea captain, and now rides upon the bosom of the deep Atlantic, far, far from his home and native land."-The bench said it had no discretion, but would have to inflict the tine. PASSING BASE COIN A young man, named William Smith, was charged with uttering two base sixpences, under the following circum stances :—A boy, named James Whittaker, stated that he was employed to receive admittance-money at a panorama exhibiting near the New Custom-house. On Saturday af ternoon, about five o'clock, the prisoner came and offered 6d. for his admittance ; witness . received it, and gave him sd. in change, keeping the sixpence by itself until he gave it to his master. Some time afterwards, hearing his Master engaged in a loud conversation, he went up and found his master disputiNg with the prisoner respecting a sixpence ; when witness charged the prisoner with being there before, he threw the sixpence away, but it was taken - up, and kept separate along with the other bad one.—The prisoner, in extenuation, denied that he knew the sixpences to be base: Ile was committed to take his trial. • CHARGE OF STEALING A PARROT. ' A man of colour, named James Corsair, was charged, by . Mrs. Leonard, publican, Lumber-street, with stealing a parrot, her property. From the statement of Mrs. Leonard, it appeared that the prisoner cone to herghouse on Wednesday last, and offered a parrot for sale. She ultimately agreed to give him 15s. for it, Hs 61 of which she then paid him ; she went up stairs, and, on returning, learned from a man named GOuldring, who was in the house, that the prisoner had taken the parrot from the house for the purpose of selling it. Gouldring staked that the prisoner took the parrot and invited him to accompany him to sell :it ; Witness remon strated with him, saving that he (prisoner) had already dis posed of it to Mrs. Leonard and received payment' for it ; prisoner in answer said he could sell it for a pound, and that the highest bidder should have it. In explanation the prisoner said he had not received any money on account of payment for the bird ; it was true that on the occasion alluded to by th e w it nesse s he had received money—Ss. 6d.—which he had borrowed from Mrs. Leonard, as he was going to become her lodger for a week. The magistrate said that under the circumstances he should not be justified in detaining the prisoner, and he was dis charged. BURGLARY Geo. Hughes, Edmund Evans, James Burns, and Richd. Sumner, were charged with'being connected with a burglary in the shop of Messrs. Naylor and Robertson, pawnbrokers, Maguire-street. Mr. Naylor stated, that in June last he took the premises from the pLe%ious tenant, Mr. Hubberhey, who is father in-law to the prisoner Sumner, who was well acquainted with the premises. About twelve o'clock on the night. of Friday last, he (witness) made all secure, and retired to bed about one in the morning. lie got up again a little after five o'clock, and on going down stairs he dis covered that two doors had been forced open, and upon ex amination found that an entrance had been effected through the cellar grid. On examining the shop`he missed four coats, one shawl, several. pairg of barragan trousers; several jackets, handkerchiefs, and Stockingg. He gave. information to the police ; and, subsequently saw at the Superintendent's office, a coat, a shawl, a pair of stockings, a handkerchief, and a pair of.trousers, which he identified as Part of the articles taken from his premises. He also saw at the shop of Mr. Harris, in Rigby-street, a jacket and a pair of trousers, which he also identified as part of the property stolen. Wit ness further stated that Sumner lives in the next street to where the premises are situate, and said that on the Satur day morning he saw him standing near to a weighing ma chine, at the corner of the street. A young man, named 'Washington, an assistant to Mr. Madden, pawnbroker, Old Hall-street, said, that about twelve o'clock on Saturday, the prisoner Burns offered a pair of mole-skin trousers in pledge. He observed Sumner standing near to the shop door at the time. In consequence of information received from the police, he had reason to suspect that the trousers had not been honestly come by, and under some pretext went out to give information to the police, leaving Burns in the shop. He got the assistance of Marten dale and Phillips. Sumner, on seeing him, walked off towards Great Howard-street. Witness followed Marten dale into Union-street, and saw the prisoners Hughes and Evans running into Jackson's4ane. Matindale took Evans and Hughes into custody; and when witness returned to the shop, he found Burns in custody of Phillips. Mr. Martin. . dale, superintendent of hackney coaches, deposed, that from information he had received from Mr. Washington, he got the assistance of officer Phillips, No. 457,' whom he 'placed to take care of the prisoner Burns in the pawn shop. In answer to a question Burns said he had received the trousers' from some individuals who were on the outside: Witness went out and saw the prisoners, Hughes and Evans, along pith another man, standing at the top of Union-street. When they observed him the two prisoners ran off, and the other man went in the direction of Great Howard-street. Witness pursued Hughes and Evans ; Hughes threw off a large blue coat. In . consequence of witness 'calling " stop thief," the pr f isoners were stopped and taken into custody. Hughes dropped a pair of stockings from his h a t. O n Evans being sea - relied at Bridewell, a duplicate, a shad, and a handkerchief were found upon him ; a pair of trousers, described' in the duplicate, were found at the shop of Mr. Norris, pawnbroker. The articles were all produced, and identified by Mr. Naylor as prOperty taken froM his premises. --The prisoners were committed to • take their trials at the sessions. A PET PIG. An Irish female, named Frances Doherty, was Summoned for allowing her pig to stray in the street. The officer, at whose instance the summons was granted, stated that on the day previous (as, Indeed, had frequently been the case) he observed " grunty" running about the street, whilst, he sup posed, his domicile was being cleaned. Mrs. - O'Doherty, on hearing this, exclaimed with great indignation, " 0 you big lying ° man, !how can you say such a thi n .. of the dear pig. It's false, gentlemen. He's a good, quiet, clane pig as ever was borne, and when I clanes his sty, I always turns him into the parlour, and he uevertnakes no dart, nor nothin', he doesn't." The Magistrate cautioned Mrs. O'Doherfy, as her pig was a parlour boarder, to beware in future of her straying front the fireside. TUESDAY. AN IMPUDENT YOUNG THIEF. A hard-featured .lad, aged about 14, who gave his name Bartholomew Augnstin, was placed at the bar charged with having yesterday Mat-fling entered the house of Mr. Adam Clarke Baynes, StatfOrd-street, and stolen therefrom several silver spoons. Sarah . Farber,' servant with Mr. Adam Clarke Baynes, stated, that.slic was in the back parlour which looks into the yard, when she saw the prisoner going out of the back door which openi into an entry in Finch-street. Witness ran out. at the front door, and round to the end of the entry, where she met the prisoner, seized and held him till police-officer Carruthers came up and took him into custody. The officer searched the prisoner, and took from his pockets two silver table-spoons and several silver tea-spoons. These had been placed in a cupboard in the kitchen, whence the prisoner had taken them, he having entered the yard through the midden trap, and by that means obtained access to the kitchen. He ltad let himself out through the back door. The prisoner was risked what he had to say. Why, said he, it was not that woman who took hold of me at all • it was a man what Collar'd - me and houlded me fast till she come up, and then I begged her pardon ; and then the plieetnan come and seized me, and would not let me go ; and 'he took all the spoons from me, and the young woman said they wos her master's. Mr. RUgIiTON.—IS that all you'have to say? Prlsoner.—Why, the spoons isn't all silver. • The prisoner must" have been a good judge of the - Precious Metals for he co u ld no t h ave h a d them in his possesion more than a few minutes ; and it turned out that fonr of the tea-spoon Were German silver. Mr. Parkinson said the prisoner belonged to-a most noto rious gang of thieves, his brother being one of the most des perate of that class in - Liverpool. Prisoner.—Why the hack-door was wide open when I went in; and the woman didn't seize me first, as she said she did. The prisoner was committed for trial. THEFT BY A WORKMAN. Edward Williams, a workman in the employ of Messrs. Pritchard Brothers, tar and turpentine distillers, Carruthers street, Vauxhall-road, was charged with having stolen half a cwt. of iron, the property of the latter. . It appeared, that the prisoner had taken the iron out of Messrs. Pritchards' yard. He was carrying it along Vaux hall-real on Monday night, when he was stopped by Police officer Rees Davis, who asked him where he was going with it. He said liewasToirtrtaaellit, - arid-that he-found •it on the shore. The officer not deeming his answer satisfactory, took him to Bridewell, and soon discovered the real proprie tors of the iron. The prisoner, Who had nothing to offer in his defence ) Was committed fortrial. A VAT.gE CHARGI3.--THE TABLES • A dissipated-latiking, man stood up in - the-witness apparently for the purposea3f preferring 'a charge against two young women who were placed at the bar. The witness stated; that he had twelve sovereigns in his pocket on the preceding night. Ile took a little drink, but It did not affect hint in the least. As he was passing along the strevt the two prisoners - fidlowed close at his heels, in consequence.of which it cam e i nto hi s head to search if his money were safe. To his infinite consternation he mis: , ed it, and became convinced that the two females behind him, though they had never touched him, had, by some mysterious means, picked his pocket. - Acting on this surmise, he called a police-officer, and gave them in charge for robbery. - Mr. Dowling said, that when the complainant went to Bridewell, he was in a beastly state of intoxication. He po sitively charged the girls with having robbed him, and they were accordingly booked and detained on that charge. Sub sequently he was lodged in Bridewell for drunkenness, when the twelve sovereigns which he said he had last were found in his pocket. Mr:RushtOn said, the complainant ought to make the girls some recompense for the annoyance which he had caused them. This, however, he refused to do. The girls were discharged, and the complainant was ordered to pay ss. for being drunk, or to be committed for two days. ANOTHER THEFT BY A WORKMAN. A man who has been during many years in the employ of Messrs. Samuel and James Holine, builders, who, it is well known, employ a vast number of persons, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a plank, the property of these gentlemen. One of Messrs. Hohne's foremen appeared, and said that the prisoner had taken the plank from Messrs. Page and Grantham' s boiler yard. lie had no authority to do so. The prisoner said, it was an old board of no value, which was lying in the place, and he took it away and washed it, thinking it useless. The foreman said, all this was incorrect. Mr. Samuel Haile said, Mr. Rushton would remember that a similar case had recently been before him. They were so dreadfully robbed by their labourers that it was necessary to take active measures to put a stop to the system. The pri soner had been constantly in their employ for a number of years, and in whiter, when work was not abundant, most of their men were supplied with coals and provisions, so that they had not the least reason for dishonesty. The piisoncr was-cotinnitted-to gaol fir three months. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and Lady Cecelia Underwood and a distinguished circle are partaking of the hospitalities at Kimmel Park. INVITATION TO UNITED PItAtER,` For the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, on Wednesday, Ist of January, 1840, being the First Day of the Nery Year. Dearly Beloved in the Lord, —Again that season ap proaches in which—guided, as I trust, by Him from whom " all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed' —I have for these past three years invited the sin cere followers of our blessed Saviour, to unite in a general concert for prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I would, therefore, again renew the invitation for a similar concert to be held on the first day of the new year, which will be on Wednesday, Ist January, 1840. Whilst each revolving year has presented some special reasons for this devotional union, we are now encouraged to persevere, as the dawn of the new year appears to approach with some of those delightful streaks which inspire a hope that " the bright and morning star" may be near at hand : for answers have lately been vouchsafed to these former de votional unions which give promise that the day is hastening on when the Lord will fulfil his gracious word :—" Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, and prove me now here with, saith the Lord of Hosts, and see if I will not open the windows of Heaven, and pour you out such a blessing that there shall not be room to receive it." The happy events to which I refer are—First, the delight ful intelligence transmitted by the Bishop of Calcutta, that the inhabitants of fifty-five villages in Northern India have simultaneously renounced idolatry, no less than a thousand of these converted heathens having been actually baptized, whilst double that number have declared themselves desirous to follow their example ; and this as soon as they are pro perly instructed and prepared for that holy sacrament. Surely we may saY,." of these tidings. from a far country," " the Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." The second event to which I refer, is the remarkable power of the Holy Spirit accompanying the outward means of grace which has lately taken place in different parts of Scotland, and more particularly at Kilsyth. There according to the testimony of the eye witnesses, whose report s h ave b een examined and fully accredited by sober-minded and expe rienced ministers, it appears, that persons of almost all ages, and of different habits and dispositions, some among. them open transgressors, have been brought to that godly sorrow for sin, which leads to repentance not to be repented of; and this followed by that lively faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which has manifested itself by a conversation becoming the gospel. These are cheering facts. .They are facts, however, which should only stimulate us to greater earnestness in prayer. For, along with these favourable signs, the new year ap proaches too much " as a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains." Let the following appearances, too visible, alas ! to every discerning eye, suffice to show this : Firat, the increasing open avowal of Infidelity. Th ere was a time, when such s4htiments were limited to the writings of self-called philosophers. These days are 'past : and now we see large bodies of men glorying .in their' unbelief', publicly assembling together, to worship a God, of their owns' Not satisfied -with:makinw the press teem with their blasphemies, like the frogs in Egypt, entering the royal . palace. There, in the absence of our Queen and her assembled nobles, de • elating it to be their purpose, vain as the imagination is, to create a new moral world,: or a. state of society: in which all reverence to the Lord Jehovahand'to his well-beloved Son, our only Lord and Saviour. Jesus Christ, should be entirely laid aside. These.- infidels have spread themselves through many of our-largest towns. They have their paid missiona ries, their regularly constituted officers, and their periodical blasphemous.publications. Along with these and other advocates of infidelity, although of a different school, we have the adherents of the Church of Rome in full activity : their laymen forming themselves into " a Catholic Institute ;" their bishops charging their clergy to exhort their flocks to pray for the conversion of Protestant England ; and both spending large sums in the building of chapels, colleges, nunneries, and other religious houses : no longer disguising their intentions, but boasting of their success, and exerting all their influence to bring the unwary under their dominion. Whilst the kingdom of our Lord is thus openly assailed, many nominal Protestants are slumbering, and are thus af fording opportunity to the enemy, whilst they are sleeping, to sow his tares : so that, although we are assured that lie who is " King of kings, and Lord of lords," will finally tri umph over every foe, if the Lord d oes not effectually awaken us from our slumbers, we know not the evils to which his church may be exposed. Whilst these lowering clouds ap pear, our own national sins, and the present state of Christen dom generally, lead the observer of the times to fear that the predicted daysofjndgment upon the gentiles maybe approach ing —that the numerous. abominations of Christendom, which might cause the righteous " to sigh and to cry," are but symptomatic prognostics of that period whea l " Men shall be lovers of their ownselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy." Or forerunners of that day when, as the Prophet Daniel predicts, " the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand, but • the wise shall understand." These dark shades overspreading the dawn of the new year should make us consider those streaks of loving-kindness and tender mercy to which I have referred at the commence ment of the invitatioa, as warnings from the Most High, or as calls to redeem the time" to avail ourselves of the present Moment—to profit by the showers of blessing now bestowed— to entreat the Lord to pour upon all who believe in His name " the Spirit of grace and of supplication : that before these days of vengeance arrive, many .may be led, i n answer to their earnest cries, to flee from the wrath to come, and take shelter under His wings ; who is a refuge from the storm, and a covert from the tempest ; when the blast of the terrible is as a storm against the wall. These are only a very few of the reasons, for the Hilts of this address will not admit of enlargement, which should call. the Christian church to united prayer. The motives which were urged in former invitations, to which you ore referred, abide with increasing force. It is enough now to say-that the Lord has encouraged us to preaerVe to prayer,. by . His gracious answer ; that the in creasing activity of Papists and of Infidels are powerful calls upon his people to awake from their slumbers, and arouse theMselves to their Divine Maiter' s s e rv i ce ; w hil st t h e s i gns of the tithes bring his words to . our remembrance with almost. inviasible power—" Behold I come as a thief.. Blessed is he that watched' and keepeth hi s garmen t s ." The following suggestion are respectfully offered to assist, those Who are desirous of uniting in this general concert for.. prayer, st. Let - ChriStians follow the example of our blessed Lord (Mark i.: 25 ) Who rose up a great while before d a y f or secret prayer. Let them thus secure the blessing of him, who says, " pray to thy. Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." 2nd. Let them call upon the Lord in their families, for his Spirit to be poured upon themselves and their households, their neighbours, their country, the ministers of the Lord, the Chnrches of Christ, the remnan t o f scattere d J uduh and outcast Israel, and upon the Gentile world. 3rd. Let the ministers of the Lord afterwards privately meet with their brethren of their own communion, in earnest prayer for themselves, their flocks, the whole body of Christ, and the world at large ; and then specially consult together upon the most effectual means for h as t en i ng the cooling of the Lord's kingdom, and particularly for the continuance of such a general concert for prayer, that the year may proceed according to this devout commencement. 4th. When circumstances will admit of a morning service, let the congregation be assembled, and in addition to the appointed prayers and a suitable sermon, let all who are devoutly disposed partake together of the supper of the Lord ; or 5 As may- be more convenient, let the whole congregation meet in the evening for public worship, and let an appropriate discourse be_preached. May the Lord accompany these means of grace, or such other may be adopted, with his abundant blessing. • Oh ! may it indeed be a season of special refreshment from the presence of the Lord. Let this be the prayer of all who read this paper, and as the new year is now approaching, it would be a great kind ness if those who approve the obje c t, an d have influence over the press, would republish and circulate this invitation, which any one, in whose hands it may fall, has full permission to do. Peace be with all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Thus prays their affectionate brother and servant in the Lord, JAMES HALDANE STEWART St. Bride's, Live pool. ORDINATION.

Among other matters of speculation connected with Prince Albert is the title of the dukedom which will be conferred upon him, if indeed he be so ill-advised as to accept of . a British peerage, Some titl e a l rea dy di gn ifi e d b y having -be longed to a royal personage would probably be selected ; but care should be taken lest one be chosen which, though sup posed to he extinct, does in fact belong to some Evil ' r indi vidual ; and the possibility o f suc h a m i sta k e i 4 shown by the following instances, which are not generally known. In 1706, Queen Anne created the Electoral Prince of Hanover (afterwards King George the SeCond) Baron of Tewkesbury, Viscount Northallerton, Earl of Milford Haven, and Mar quis And Duke of Cambridge, to hold to him and the heirs male of his body. In 1717, Frederick Lewis, eldest son of the Prince of Wales, was made Duke of Gloucester; and in 1726, he was created Baron'Snawdon Viscount Launceston, Earl of Elth am , Marquis of Ely, and Duke of Edinburgh. The limitation of all those honours being " to him and the heirs male of his body," they were inherited by his son, Prince George, afterwards King George the Third. It has been supposed that the dukedoms of Cambridge, Gloucester, and Edinburgh, and all the other dignities above-mentioned, became so completely lost in the Vegal dignity, on the acces sion of Kings George the Second and Thrd, as to be utterly extinct ; and upon this presumption similar titles were con ferred upon various branches of the royal family. As George 111. was the heir male of George 11. and as George IV. and -William IV. were the heirs male of George 111. all the honours in question would have devolved upon those perso nages, under the limitation s i n th e p a t en t s , so t h at there • could have been no question .on the subject; but on the ac cession of Queen Victoria, the sovereign and the heir male qf the bodies of George 11. and George 111. were, for the first time different individuals ; and it consequently appears, that the dukedoms of Cambridge, Gloucester; and Edinburgh, the marquisates of Ely and Cambridge, the earldoms of Mil ford Haven -and Eltham, the viscounties of Northallerton and Launceston, and the baronies of Tewkesbury and Snaw don, have devolved upon the King of Hanover, as heir male of his father and great grandfather, to whom they were granted by the patents of 1706, 1717, and 1726. The dictum of Lord hale, and other authorities, seem decisive upon the point:. By the • common law, whatever the king may acquire after he comes to the crown vests in a politic capacity ; but what-he- possessed before his accession, or-inherits from a collateral ancestor after his accession, vests in a natural ca pacity : hence, the honours a king-may have possessed before his accession reniain in their- original state and when the heir to whom they were limited is a different person from the sovereign, they will necessarily descend to such heir, stead of being (as is erroneously supposed) destroyed by their •temporary union with the royal dignity. There are, however, several royal titles which would be fitting for Prince Albert, and to which no one has any pre tensions. York, Kent, and Clarence, in England ; Albany, Strathearn, and St. Andrew, in Scotland ; Ulster and Dub lin, in Ireland,—afford a sufficient choice; and most of those names are rich in historical associations. " Kendal" has been suggested, apparently because it was the earldom of Prince George of Denmark ; but it ought not to be chosen, for, though it formed part of the honours of the great Duke of Bedford, brother of Henry V. and afterwards of the Beau ferts Dukes of Somerset, was given to John de Foix, a Gas con ; next as a barony to Prince Rupert, was the dukedom to which an infant son of James Duke of York was nomi nated in 1666, and was afterwards granted to Prince George of Denmark ; the name lost all its lustre by being conferred upon Madame de Schulenberg, mistress of George 1., who was created Duchess'of Munster in Ireland, and Duchess of Kendal, in England, by her royalj,over. It has since been the title of a barony granted- to Sir James Lowther, Earl of Lonsdale ; but it became extinct on his death in 1802. _ The manner in which Prince Albert's peerage should be limited is deserving of consideration. If, iu the usual terms, to the " heirs male of his body," his honours might even tually descend to those for whom they were never designed, namely, to the sons of any other marriage, on the failure of male issue by this • and such a contingency show s th e pro priety of Prince' this; not having had a peerage with a limitation of that description. The most judicious plan seems to limit Prince Albert's- honours to the second son of his marriage with Queen Victoria ; for the eldest son will be the Duke of Cornwall at his birth, and will, of course, be soon after created Prince of Wales.—Spectator.

STATE OF TRADE', - .lkLacttEsrEn.—Though the deviation from our usual da},, of publication this we e k has - prevented us from givi ng the result of the principal market-day, Nve:are glad to be to say, that the appearances of slow and gradual imp, meat, which were manifested last week, have continued to the present time. ,Notwithstanding the time •of the year, which is unfavourable7to the transaction of any large amount of business, there has been a fair demand, both for goods and yarn, since Tuesday last ; and the prices of all descrip tions have been fully Maintained. Indeed, in a few articles there has been a trifilig advance; and in all the feeling of the .market appears healthy. It may be necessary to observe, however, that the improvement which has taken place has by no means placed the great body o f sp i nners , and manu facturers in any enviable position. Their business is still untemunerating ; and there must be either a further de. dine in the price of cotton or a further improvement in goods and yarn, hetbre they can command a profit. ROCIIDALI4; FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, DEC. 23. There has been little change in the market to-day : the de mand has been somethhig like that of the two previous Mon days, and the business done has been at prices which gave great cause of complaint to the manufacturer. There is no change in the wool market.—Mancheste r Guardian. THE SILK HOSE AND GLOVE TRADE. --A deputation from the workmen in the silk hose and gloVe branch visited, on Tuesday, the workshops in Derby, to ascertain the number out of employment, or only partially employed. They found the result to be as follows :—Totally out of work 19G, and to these may be added 50, who have left the the town, and gone to other places, and of course their frames are standing for want of work. The number of men who have limited work is 114, and a great majority of these have not earned 4s. a week, for the last six months. The number of children de pendent upon the men for subsistence is 352, which, together with their wives 135, makes a total- of 797. Besides these there are the seamers and cheveners, which, at least, cannot be less than 150, making a graad total of 947. A deputation is appointed to wait on the mayor to ask his advice under these distressing circumstances. The number of thmes in work in 1830 was 575 ; the total in the town now is 410, showing a decrease of 165.—Derby Reporter. ANTI-CORN-LAW AGITATION. (From the Farmer's Journal. The efforts of the free-trade party have been incessant, of late, to induce the labouring population to join in the outcry against the Corn Laws. Hitherto these efforts have been fruitless. At length, however, symptoms are discernible, that some, at least, amongst the artisans and ►mechanics who reside in our great manufacturing towns, are not unwilling to lend themselves to the projects of the - owners of untaxed machinery. 'The operatives of Sheffield, for instance, have formed an Anti-Con-Law Association j_ and that Associa tion has just issued an Address to the .Labourers of Great Britain- 7 -an Address, in which all the principles of tree trade are broadly recommended. We are not disposed to exaggerate the importance of this fact :—still less, however, are we disposed altogether to over rate its import and influence. The Anti-Corn-Law agitation during the last session of Parliament failed to a great extent, because the labourers refused.to take part in it. A junction between the leaders of the free-trade party, and any consi derable section of the labouring population might lend a very different complexion to the struggle.. ~To landowners, and farmers, therefore, we say " BEWARE. Trust not too much to the goodness of your cause. Trust not too 'Mich to Par liamentary majorities. A new public opinion must be formed on this vital question. Parliamentary majorities may be converted into minorities. Good causes have often, ere now, been lost. In sound public opinion is your only safety." The operatives of Sheffield, in their Anti-Corn-Law Ad dress seem to be fully aware of the importance of public opi nion. They boast, indeed, that the tide of modern public opinion runs altogether in favour of free-trade principles : Do we not see daily men of all parties joining the ranks of the Anti-Corn-Law Association ? Does not the present state. of the monetary system press the necessity of some great alteration upon the attention of all classes? have we not the acknowledgement of Lord John Russell, the most effici ent minister in her Majesty's Cabinet, that these laws are in jurious, in their present form, to all partieS ? Did not the late Chancellor of the Exchequer declare, that-it was to these laws we owe our embarrassments, and the drain of gold from the country ? Had we not last session of Parliament a poiver ful minority of 220 Members favourable to an inquiry into these laws? And do we not know that, if the whole force bf public opinion be brought to bear upon them, it must be overwhelming? How many great measures has 'the force of public opinion carried during the last twenty years? The Reform Bill, the East India Bill, the Repeal of the TeSt and Corporation Acts ; and even the greatest soldier England ever had was forced to bend, contrary to . his will and to his judgment, and to succumb to the opinion of the public, and pass the Catholic Emancipation Bill. Why, then, despair on this question, when all classes but one are interested in our success ?" It is important that landowners and farmers, no less than the operatives of Sheffield, should weigh. these facts, and ex tract from them the great truth—that the soundness of the principles on which the Corn Laws are based, may prove no guarantee against the erasure of them from the Statute Book. The Anti-Corn-Law Address of the operatives of Sheffield abounds in the usual misrepresentations, on which the argu ments of all the champions of free trade are founded. Here is the old fallacy about the effect of the Corn Laws on wages:— " The attempt has been made to cajole our agricultural brother labourers into the belief that these laws increase their wages, and their supplies ot food and raiment. We would ask, has the condition of the once bold and happy peasantry of England been improved ? Has not nearly every vestige of common right, by which the peasant could have summered a few sheep or cows, been wrested from them to add to the domains of those who already possess thousands of acres ; and their cottages, once the lunnble homes of hap piness, plenty, and domestic contentment, with the well-filled meal ark, the flitch of bacon on the hook, with another pig in the sty and a barrel of home-brewed to cheer the labourer after his daily toil ; is this the condition of the agricultural labourer under these laws? We know it is not. Nor have they the means left them of improving their condition, or pro viding:against sickness or old age.. We would also ask, have their wages,been .doubled since 1836, or raised in equal pro portion to the increasing price of bread ? We would also re mind them', that .the manufactories of England have found employment, for thousands of their families, who have sent out those of their sons and daughters that were without work, and had become too numerous at home, and who have there found employment. --* • * Alli•therefore;- hut ono class Are interested in the- abolition of these laws, which are destroying our manufacturing superiority, which is the primary cause of this nation's great ness—which enabled us to carry on a war of long duration and of unexampled expense, and filially to triumph over th e greatest conqueror and the most skilful soldier whose name is recorded in the annals of the world." " Have wages been doubled since 1836, or raised in pro portion to the increasing price of .bread ?" Such is the question universally •asked, at present, by the advocates of free trade. We shall answer it ; and if there were aught of candour iii the anti-corn-law party, we should, in turn, demand answers to the questions which we 'shall feel entitled to propound:. • The object of the anti-corn-law .party in asking whether wages have doubled since 1836, , is to prove that wages are not regulated by the price of corn, , but by the laws of " supply and demand" in the labour market ! If we should, for , the sake of argument, concede for a moment, that wages are not regulated by the price of. corn, nor by any other influences than those of supply and demand in the article of labour, we should, at once, require of the anti-corn-law agitators, the reason of their clamour against the corn-laws ? If wages , are. not regulated by the price of corn, the corn laws—even admitting that they keep the price of corn high—can have, on. the showing of the advocates of free trade themselves, no effect in rendering labour dear. Yet - it is of the high price of English labour, when compared with the price of labour on the continent, that the owners of untaxed Anachinery complain, as of their chief grievance ! The opponents of the corn laws, in short, deal in self con tradictory assumptions: They must admit, either that the corn laws do .sustain the wages of labour —or, on the other hand, they must admit that the corn laws inflict no injury on our foreign trade. Let us, again, recur to the question—" Have wages been doubled since 1836, or been raised in proportion to the in creasing price of bread ?" Our answer is, that_ agricultural wages have, in. almost every part of England, been 'very considerably raised, since bread rose in price ; but ther,e lies been no corresponding rise in the wages of manufaCtiiring labour. .`Throughout large agricultural districts, Wages which, th ree years ago, were eight, nine, and ten shillings a week, are now, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen shillings ; while throughout the manufacturing districts, the rise in the price of bread has not been accompanied by the slightest addition to wages! Not merely have wages actually risen of late very consi derably in the agricultural districts; but the rise in wages would, moreover, have been much greater, were it not that our modern manufacturing system is based on principles, which exercise, at every moment, a most pernicious influence on the condition of the labourer. True it is, indeed, as the opponents of the corn laws allege, that the laws of supply and demandin the article of labour, regulate to a great extent the labourer's wages'; but ; then, it happ ens , th a t " the laws of supply and demand" are themselves modified by-co-exist ing social influences. 'With the class of labourers it does not rest (although the advocates of free trade always falsely assume that it does) to regulate the - supply and demand of labour; by regulating the number of labourers. No • the supply of labour, and the demand for it, are regulated, partly by the number of labourers—and partly by the quan tity of untaxed machinery which happens to be in operation at that time. The laws of supply and demand in the article of labour are, in short, regulated as much by the owners of untaxed machinery, as by the labourers themselves. What avails it, therefore, to babble to the labourers about the neces sity of regulating the supply of labour by the dethand, unless the labourer be invested with the power to regulate the sup ply effectually, by being invested with protection against the competition of untaxed machinery The chief clamourers against the corn laws—the own e rs o f untaxed machinery— are(let the fact be always borne in mind) the men who chiefly regulate the supply of labour in the labour market; and they have always used the fearful power with which they are invested most mischievously, so far as the interests of the labouring poor arc (*turned. If wages have not universally risen in proportion . to the price of bread, the owners of unbind machinery are themselves the cause. They invariably control the " laws of supply and demand" in the labour market, and so control these laws, that there always shall exist " a surplus population" of la bourers. The operations of Untaxed machinery prevent the wages of agricultural labour from rising so high in times of scarcity as the protective spirit of the corn laws would carry them :—the operations of untaxed machinery prevent the wages of manufacturing labour, in such seasons, from rising at all ! Yet the owners of untaxed machinery, on the advent of each period of general suffering, turn calmly round on landowners and farmers, and -require them to demonstrate that the corn laws have effectually counteracted all the inju rious influences of our modern manufacturing system ! The owners of untaxed machinery are, we repeat; the ori ginators of the clamour against the corn laws. Yet none know better than these men do, that the corn lawS are the only protection now left to the order of labourers—and that a repeal of the corn laws would grind labourers of all des criptions into dust, by removing the only semblance of re straint on the operations of untaxed machinery. Accounts from Rome, of the 30th ult., state that several shocks of an earthquake were felt in that city on the 25th. • - ' On emptying a pool in 1765 which had not been fished for ages, at Lilleshall Line Works,l near Newport, Salop, was found an enormous pike, weighing 170 lbs. Between the hours of twelve and one o'clock a very re markable arch was observed in the heavens at East Retford, extendino . from N.E. to S.W., an d cros si ng t h e mer idi an about 30 deg. from the zenith. The outer portion of this phenomenon was extremely dark and well defined, but the inner part gradually became paler and paler, until it was of the same colour as the other part of the heavens, which to the south was dense and thick, and this density and thick ness extended to the earth, so as to have the appearance of smoke up to the apparent verge of the shadow of the arch above. To the north of this line the air was uncommonly clear, and the sky without a cloud, which remarkable con trast excited the surprise of all who witnessed it in the northern parts of the county of Nottingham. Within an hour afterwards the thermometer suddenly fell upwards of five -degrees but up to the present time, with one single exception, we have had no rain, and the weather during the week has been snore favourable than we have experienced for some months past. — Doncaster.

Mr. Bell, our postmaster, is keeping note of the number of letters which have passed through the post-office since the 4th current :—The number of letters posted at Dundee on the 4th - current, the day preceding the change, was 581: the number posted oa the sth of December was 1,107 ; ditto on the Gth (being post day to London,) 915 ; ditto on the 7th, 1,410. On Monday the number of letters posted here was about the same as Saturday- 7 -1,400; on Tuesday there was a slight falling off; but the general result will be a duplication of the letters despatched, as well as of the letters received. — Dundee Adsbertisee. On Saturday afternoon last, about two o'clock, as the Countess of Eldon, accompanied 'by another lady,.was walk ing front her ladyship's house to Shirley Chapel, a distance of about half a mile, they were met by four men in the dress of railway labourers, who stopped them, and laid hold of Lady Eldon by the arm, ming the most disgusting language. An officer, who was at some distance, saw them, when they in stantly ran away, but were followed and all secured. On Tuesday they were committed by Joseph Reid, Esq. Her ladyship is reported to be very ill from the abuse and alarm she experienced.--814sex Express. GLASGOW AND AYR RAILWAY.—This undertaking at the terminus here is going for to alter the face of matters in the suburb of Tradeston. A passage for the railway has. been cleared from Cook-street, down to the proposed depot in Clyde-place, and throughout its entire length a great number of buildings have been removed, under authority of the Act. For the purpose of making the depot as ample as possible, the Methodist Chapel in Bridge-street has-been taken down, and other buildings in the neighbourhood will speedily fol low. The whole of the work, from the canal downwards to the depot, will be attended with great expense, in eonsequence of the necessity that exists for carrying the line over the va rious streets by which it is crossed. A bridge is forming over West-street at the Canal Bridge, from which the line will proceed to a point immediately to the east of Commerce street, where it enters Tradeston, crossing, in its progress, Cook-street, Wallace-street, Wilson-street, and King-street, on strong iron arches. In the spaces between the above streets the railway is to proceed over a continuous range of brick arches, about twenty-five of which have already been erected, while others are in progress. These operations are, of course, attended with great labour and expense, but they are going forward in the most satisfactory manner. 7 -Scottish Guardian.- A)bippfng flittlfigentr.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEc. 26. There has been a fair business done to.day Without change in prices —the sales are about 4000 bales of all kinds. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, DEC. 24. The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coast ways, and from foreign ports, have again been to a pretty fair ex tent, since Tuesday last, particularly of foreign Wheat from Lon don and other ports coastwayS, and with a very limited demand, sales have been only to a moderate extent here, and in all country markets, with little or no variation in prices during the past week. The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign I)orts, since Friday last, is an increase on Oats, and a decrease on Nye of Is 6d per quarter. Sonic large parcels of American Flour, in bond, have changed hands at 31s per barrel, but it has been more difficult to buy than to sell at this price—the holders of bonded Flour being generally more confident: of Oats, in bond, some further sales have been made for export at ss 1041 to 4s per 451 b. At this day's market there was a very thin attendance, and sales were effected to a very small amount of every article in the Corn trade, of which purchases were made at a small decline, but not such as to justify any decided variation in our prices of this day week.
