FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Courier.) The privilege question does not appear to a'trac? that attention from the people at large which a eneature deeply penetrating their own interests recoires; but we journalist is not therefore neglect the du t y which a is professedly pledged to perform. Lord John Russ scll'a Bill has passed through Committee, not without observations which deserve considerable attention, and above all to those which proceed from Sir Edward Sug den. In the explanation which he has chosen to give of his opposition to parts of a Bill, to the leading principle of which we entertain such strong objections, he refers to opinions that have been expressed out of the House, sad observes that he did not object to the retrospective provisions of the Ministerial measure. What he pro posed to do, he says, was in Committee to introduce certain words into the first clause, " giving to perseiis not the original publishers of the publications of H e House the same remedy with respect to that which had already been published, as the Bill proposed to give to what night be published in future by the House." We are Barry that the authority of such a name should be lent to the enactment of " ex post facto" laws. (From the Globe.) The Church, in its collective capacity, still resembles too much the daughters of the horseleech—" Give' ' Give !' is the cry incessantly uttered from every part of her pale ! This desire for wealth has originated in a false estimate of its importance. Vast worldly endow ments, distributed with preposterous inequality, so far from adding to the efficiency of a Church, obscure its true glory, and impair its energies. The wealth of the clergy has constituted the weakness of our national Eeablishrnent. If proof be required of this incontro vertible axiom, it is only necessary to refer to Ireland, where the most richly endowed church in Christen dom has been proved to be proverbially and re proachfully inefficient as a machine for the conversion of the people ; while in Scotland, where the poorest religious Establishment is found, the clergy have been successful in preserving and extending the Protestant faith, and in training up the successive generations of the people in morals and religion, and thus rendering them the best educated and most virtuous of the population. (From the Standard.) Lord John Russell's Bill for the protection of the publication of Parliamentary Papers occupied the chief share of the attention of the House of Commons last night. Various amendments were suggested in the Committee, and each was discussed at some length, but without any important result. We have already laid more than once before our readers the rea sons why (in our opinion) the details of the Bill, ought to be regarded with comparative indifference. In the first place, we think that the Houses of Parliament can scarcely have too much power within the law ; while we would resist every at tempt to extend the power of any one branch of the Sovereignty a single hair's breadth beyond the law. And secondly, all the power that the Bill confers upon the two Houses is the power of publishing what are called libels—a power which they are not very likely to exercise wantonly, and which would be at worst very coistemptible is its exercise. We abstract from the Par'. ppers the following de tails of, perhaps, as melancholy an event as it has ever fallen to our lot to record, showing a depravity seldom met with. A man of the name of Duriez, a master tailor, living with his family in one of the most hshion.ible streets of Paris, reFpectahle in his business. married, and father of a large family, apprenticed his eldest daughter, Eleonore, to an embroideress, in the Rue St. Hon'ire. Last Thursday week Florentin Duriez called rather earlier in the evening than usual. and as the m;stress of the estab ishment expressed some wom:er, he said that it was a surprize that he had prepared for his dauJiter, this being ne4r v a holiday, one of the last days of ti,e carnival, and if she had been satisfied with her conduct during the week he would request permission to be allowed to take her to the theatre with any one of her companions whom she might select, as he had been fortunate enough to procure a box of three places ; he was well aware that his daughter would select Louisa G. as they were most intimate friends, and their mistress having given her consent she did so, and they were soon equipped. An hour afterwards the two girls with the master tailor were seated in their box. The evening passed away too rapidly, and they left the theatre delighted, when the father reminded them that they had left home without dining, and that conse quently they must be hungry, and proposed that they should sup at a restaurant's. His daughter accepted the invitation with pleasure, and, notwithstanding the remonstrance of Louisa, it was decided that they should sup. At supper, while they were prattling about all they had seen and heard, the monster Duriez con tinued plying them with wine, not, probably, in quan tity sufficient to intoxicate them, but enough to excite them. After one o'clock in the morning Duriez called for his bill, takinc , one of the children under each arm, Louisa wished to return home, but he said that at such an hour it would be impossible, nor could he himself return home ; he proposed as an expedient, which was accepted, that of going to a lodging-house which he knew of hard by, where he would take a room with two beds in it, in one of which he would sleep himself, and the other would be shared by his daughter and her sioners of Bankrupts. Mr. HUMPHERYS (for the prisoner) asked severJl questions regarding the particulars of the connection between the prosecutor and the prisoner, and took close notes of the evidence. Mr. LEWIS, the solicitor, then appeared against the prisoner, on the prosecution of Mr. Albert John Davis, furrier, of Bull-inn-court, Negate-street. Mr. Davis stated that in 1838 the prisoner was sup plied with goods by him upon his (the prisoner's) father's security, who handed to him a letter o guarantee for the amount. Witness continued to supply the prisoner on the father's security up to 1839. In 1839 the pri. soner called again, and looked out goods to the amount of upwards of 5001. ; witness required the father's gua rantee ; the prisoner said, " You ought to put confi dence in me, as I have done business with you for some time." Witness replied," We have not confidence in you, and your father must guarantee you ; besides which you are a minor, and we do not consider ourselves safe in deal icg with you without security." The prisoner then said, " No, I am not a minor, I am turned of 22." Witness still refused, and the prisoner mentioned to him that if he was not satisfied, he (prisoner) would ask his father. Subsequently the father called with the prisoner, and said that his son could get credit in the market, and was of full age ; upon which assurance credit was there upon given to the prisoner. Between April and August the prisoner received goods to the amount of 5581. Bs. 10d., which amount was reduced subsequently to 472/. 16s. 4d. Mr. HUMPHERYS submitted that the evidence in either case did not prove the false pretence contem plated by the statute. The false pretence was stated to be a matter which could not possibly be within the prisoner's own knowledge, and it did not appear that due caution and diligence had been used before the goods had been parted with. The LORD MAYOR—Certainly the lad could not tell On the 18th August the Tory was moored in Ship Cove, in eleven fathoms water, within 300 yards of the shore. " Nothing," sa .s Col. Wakefield, " can exceed the beauty of this situation. The shore is covered to the water's edge with an evergreen forest, reaching to the mountain tops, from 1,200 to 1,500 feet high." The melody of the birds and the plenty of the fish are remarked as by Captain Cook. Natives from Admi ralty Bay soon came on board, and were both naked and savage. They rubbed noses with Naiti. Their faces were painted, and their bodies anointed with whale oil and ochre. The little beach retains vestiges of Cook's visit, in the timber cut down and not used by him, and in other respects. The wood is almost impenetrable, and there arc rivulets of delicious water flowing from the heights. The soil is very rich, being the decayed vegetation of centuries. There can be little doubt that the vine and Indian corn might be grown up to the summits of the hills. No natives appeared, the cove being under taboo, on ac count of its being the burial place of a chief's daughter. A eta, or compensation, was required and paid for breaking the taboo by entering the cove. On the 19th August Colonel Wakefield visited the island of Nlotuara, where Cook had his observatory and garden. It is covered with wild shrubs, plants, and flowers, and even at that time, in the depth of winter, looked as gay and thriving as an ornamental plantation in England during summer. Parrots, wood pigeons, and other birds, and also pigs, were abundant, but there were no human inhabitants. There were 200 natives of the Ryatiwa tribe living in the Sound, at a settlement called Teawaiti, on the Island of Alapawa. The Nyatinihataigh tribe, consist ing of 80 or 90 souls, were living at Anaho, nearer the entrance of the Sound. The English party were most kindly and hospitably received by these natives. Naiti was delighted at the reception, and his dress, and appa rent wealth, made a great impression on his country men. Several interesting anecdotes are related of Naiti's behaviour during the voyage and after arrival, and he promised to be of great utility to the expedition, On the 21st of August there was a violent gale from the south-east, with rain. An old native chief, Agarcwa, was a guest on 'maid. He is described as inoffensive and dignified. He spoke of the Taranake coast oppo site as without any harbour, but he pointed out a har bour about twenty miles south-west of Cape Farewell, where abundance of coal was to be found. On the 22d, Colonel Wakefield took the old chief home, and they were received by many of the natives, who greeted them cordially. The bottom of the cove where these people reside is spoken of as a most delightful locality, with sufficient flat land for a considerable settlement, and a gentle slope for half a mile up the mountain, which is clothed with verdure. A stream, strong enough to turn a mill, runs through the centre of the basin formed by the rising ground. The village is a straggling collection of mise • rabic thatched huts. The occupants of these sties were not less wretched than their residences, wanting in energy, naked, houseless, and potato fed. On Colonel Wakefield's leaving, the chief presented him with a fine specimen of the coal of which he had spoken. The soil hereabouts is described as capable of yielding almost every kind of vegetable production, if cleared of timber and rendered available by terraces, or in patches, by spade husbandry. Deep loam was found in the spaces cleared for potato grounds, and in some places clay adapted for brickmaking. The little cove named by Colonel Wakefield Flat-fish Cove, abounds with fish, and the neighbouring woods with a rich variety of birds. Evro, the son of a chief near here, on board the Tory on a visit, the next morning accompanied the naturalist and draftsmen on an excursion up a bill to the south east. The native women assisted the rest of the cabin party in washing. The cove has probably not presented so lively an appearance since the time of Cook's visits. No attempt at pilfering was made by the natives. Colonel Wakefield gives a curious account of a native who accompanied him on a shooting excursion, and answered the purpose of a setter dog. The supply of potatoes here exceeded the demand, more than 500 baskets full being ranged along the beach. This is considered a preferable place to Cloudy Bay in respect of supplies. Pies, however, were scarce. On Sunday, the 25th August, after divine service, the party climbed a hill in the cove, ascending a rivulet, which fell in cascades over the slate-stone rocks, form ing the sub-stratum of the mountains. Having reached the region of the highest timber, they found a species of elm, eighteen feet in girth, and other trees from seventy to eighty feet high, without a branch, which, if too heavy for masts, would make excellent planks for ship building. The Surveyor. General of the English navy might, it is said, supply himself with several years' con :motion amongst the trees seen in that morning's II 6 166 80 9 31 7 8 88 90 120; 19 6 16 6 7 0 8 0 6 0 8 u 10 0 13 0 112 0 190 70 90 50 80 90 11 0 113 0 I'l I. 90 9 9 6 0 80 76 SG, WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET 1, Norfolk and Suffolk.. ..... —s. , Os. to 65t. fine 765, Lin. and Cam. .

At al( events the father appears to be the greater aggressor. Mr. Hobler (the chief Clerk) asked whether the prisoner had given his age upon being taken to the Compter ? The gaoler replied that he had, and that it had been marked down in the prisoner's list at twenty years, from the prisoner's own mouth. The prisoner was then remanded. A young man, named Joseph Druitt, was charged with having refused to pay for the support of his illegiti mate child. A young woman of respectable and modest appearance stated that. the defendant had kept company with, and was to have married her ; his brother was married to her sister. She had the greatest reliance upon him, but the moment he was tolt3 that she was pregnant by him he married another young wcman, and he now refused to pay a shilling for his child's support. Mrs. Druitt (the girl's sister) said that the defendant kept company with the young woman with her mother's knowledge ; she had seen her upon his knee. The LORD MAYOR apprehended that the evidence just given was not sufficiently corroborative, and asked the witness whether she had any conversation with the defendant on the subject ? The witness replied that she applied to him to remind him that he was to buy clothing for the child. The Loan MAYOR—And what did he say ? The witness—He laughed. The LORD MAYOR—Did he deny that he was the father? Witness—No, he only laughed ; he made a iauzh of it. Defendant—lt wai on another man's knee she sat, and not on mine. It is a long time since I kept com pany with her ; besides, I have got a wife of my own. and she is in the famiiy way, and I can't afford to pal. for this one's child. The young woman vowed that she never sat upon any man's knee except his, and that he knew that fact well. The LORD MAYOR—It is a great pity that you have thrown yourself away upon such a fellow ; but he shall support your child. lam perfectly satisfied with the corroborative evidence. The ALDERMAN, who sat with the Lord Mayor to adjudicate, was also satisfied with the evidence corrobo rating the paternity, and the defendant was ordered to pay the expenses attending the lying in, and 38. 6d. er week for the support of the infant. friend, adding, " I shall be there myself to be re sponsible for you and to protect you." He then took them into an obscure street, where before Louisa was completely restored to herself she found herself dragged into a small room, where the tailor and his daughter placed themselves in the same bed with her ; the fol lowing morning the tailor took his daughter home, but the only news till lately heard of poor Louisa was con tained in the following affecting letter addressed by her to her wretched mother, which we give entire : " IN hen you receive this letter, my dear mother, weep and pray for me : all will be over. I could no more have dared to present myself before you—still I am innocent as the day on which you gave me birth. I am innocent, and still a wretch has branded and dishonoured me. No honest man could henceforth love me or esteem me ; all that he could do would be to pity me. I prefer death to be obliged to blush the blush of shame always and before all. Once more, my mother, forgive me, pray for me. One grief hangs upon my poor heart at this moment greater than all others, it is the thought of the pain you will have to bear. Console yonrself, dearest mother, with the thought that I have been the victim of a wretch who abused me by force and against my will. Pray for me, forgive me, I conjure you.

This was an information filed at the relation of cee tain inhabitants of Molton, in the county of Northamp ton, complaining of the misappropriation of the funds of the charity instituted for the purpose of maintaining certain cottages for poor persons, and for a school for the children of the-parishioners. The cause has been before the Court for the last four days, and was resumed to-day. The re lators allege that the trustees, Messrs. Nethercoat, Clerk, Hellier, and Aspinall, three gentlemen of property and in fluence in Northamptonshire, and who are the defendants to the suit, had suffered the cottages to be tenanted by paupers out of the workhouse, from whose wages, whilst working for the parish, one shilling a week as rent Lad been deducted, contrary to law ; 'hat the charity estate had been taken from a responsible tenant, anxious to retain it at the rent of 851 a year. paid by him, and had been let to a friend of the trustees for 47/. 83. a year, greatly to the injury of the charity ; that an ex change of lands not beneficial to the charity had taken place ; that a barn, capable of being repaired at small ex pense, had unnecessarily been taken down, and a new barn erected on its site ; that 60/. out of the charity funds had keen improperly applied to renewing the church ; that cer tain houses were only let fcr 141. a year, which were worth and would let for 301. a year ; and, lastly, that the charity estates had been unjustly charged with considerable suns of money borrowed from the bankers ; and the re lators prayed that the Court should declare all these illegal sad unauthorised, and that the trustees should be decreed liable to make good the deficiencies, and that a scheme for the due administration of the funds should be adopted. Mr. K. Bruce and Mr. Anderdon contended in favour ef the ?rayor of the information, and evidence of a mcst velurnine.us nature was read in support of the allegations of the rule' ors. M r . Wigram, Mr. Koe, Mr. Coleridge, Mr. Richards, and Mr. Russ .:11, appeared for the trustees, and contended cast they bad done every act, to the best of their judgment, for the, benefit of the charity, and charged the relators with bring members of a party got up at Molton against them, and I-71^.T:Se acts were influenced by the excitement of village palities reTher than justice. Mr. K. BRUCE replied at great length to the arguments of the defendants' counsel, defending the conduct of the relators, which was instigated solely by a desire to make the char'ty efficient. The Learned Counsel called upon the Court to cc ndemn the defendants in the costs of the suit, as tl.ey hod in their answers raised points entailing great and unnecessary expense upon the relator., and dwelt niuch upon the want of a due and satisfactory answer to the charge brought against them ef letting the estate to a friend for so srnll a rent. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that there did not remain a doubt as to the law making trustees responsible for al, e ficiemits incurred by letting property to one of their own body, but he would look through the pleadings in the cause before he pronounced his judgment.

The Victor, 16, at this port, will be commissioned on Nloriday. A 16-gun brig, on the exact model of tire Witte,- witch, at present on the African coast, is ordered to be built. The new steamer Hecate is preparing for commission in the River. She is similar to the Hydra, of 240 horse power, and her armament is to be three thirty-two pounders, and one ten-inch bomb. The Gladiator, Britton master, and Mediator, Champlin master, both arrived on Tuesday last from New York, and proceeded to London. The latter ship landed her mail at Falmouth ; both ships have had :ong voyages, having been struggling for a month with fresh easterly winds. The New York packet Wellington, Chadwick mas ter, which left on the 12th ult., lauded her mail at Fal mouth on Tuesday last, and is gone past for the River.

Patey is to succeed Lieut. Glanville in the Castor. The Admiral's flag was transferred from the Bellerophon, the second day after her arrival from Vourla. His Excellency the Admiral was to be in practique on the 28th, on which evening some officers of the navy and marines, assisted by civilians of the garrison, will perform for charitable purposes The Heir at Law and The Village Lawyer. Lieut. Sir Godfrey We.ister has been appointed to tnis ship. The Princess Charlotte, previous to refitting, exercised her crew in shifting topmasts, which was done in a most masterly stye, with truly wonderful expedi tion, and without any tire least accident occurring. The main topmast was shifted, the rigging set up, and the top-gallant -mast fidded in less than one hour ; the fore top-mast occupied a few minutes more. The French ships at Vourla have lately exercised their crews at this kind of work, but none of them ever executed the same in any thing like so short time taken by the Princess Charlotte, and scarcely ever without the loss of lives, or some serious bodily it juries. Our Correspondent at Vaurla calcula' es the votal number of deaths from these accidents alone, within the course of three days, at six ramble. The climate of this place (Ship Cove, Queen Char lotte's Sand) is stated to resemble that of the north of Portugal, the most lovely days bursting out in the midst of winter. The thermometer ranged between 40 deg. and 56 deg. in the shade. The naturalist having ascended the highest neighbourin g hill, ascertained the elevation to be 1,544 feet. A grand " Tan'i," or mourning of the Kapiti tribe, was about to take place on the occasion of the death of the chief's sister. At these Tangis every one cries aloud to the utmost of his power. A chief named Wetae had become very friendly and useful to the expedition. He is described as sixty years of age, very strong and wiry. He had four wives besides one lately dead, and laughed at being so much better provided in this respect than the King of England. He said that his place, Rang,a- Tolo, in D'Urville's Island, abounded in pigs awl potatoes. At Teawaiti there is a whaling establishment, and fifty or sixty Europeans or Americans. Colonel Wake field was visited by an intelligent Englishman, resident at this place, who gave him valuable information. T ea . waiti is situated in the channel which leads from Queen Charlotte's Sound into Cook's Strait, to the south -cast. Few ships have hitherto used this passage, and no pub lished account of it has yet been given. The river explored by the Pelorus discharges itself into Ad miralty Bay, not Cloudy Bay, as erroneously reported in some publications. In this part of New Zealand the laws of property in land are very undefined. Neither Ranpero nor Hiko possesses the power of absolute disposal, nor can it be acquired by combining the consent of many claimz. - nts, as in the Northern Island. Great confusion exists on both sides of the Straits respecting vested rights. Many white men have established themselves among different tribes, and have occupied and cultivated a great extent of land, without a question or exaction of any kind from the natives, who highly value European com modities and industry. " A body of settlers," says Col. Wakefield, "might locate themselves without pur chase in almost any part of the shores of the Strait, un molested by anybody." A principal means of safety to Europeans at pr' sent is a quasi marriage with a native female. These are the natural consequences of irregular co i n . nintion, and would speedily give way to a better sys tern should this country be regularly colonised or occu pied by a military force. Adverting to the recent failure of the wheat crop in `1 New South Wales, Colonel Wakefield recommends that all vessels coming to New Zealand should be well supplied with flour, for which, however, to his party, ROLLS' COURT, MAEcs 14. ATT ORNEY-GENERAL v. KERR —SAME V WALES M;. PEMBERTON and Mr, RUSSELL appeared for the r, lator, Henry Wvke. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General at the relation of Henry Wyko, one c,f the trustees of a charity in the town of Northampton, called St. Thomas's Hospital, and praying that certain leases, bearing (late respectively December 1763 and February 1734, might be delivered up to the Court to be eaneel!cd, and might, by the decree of this Court, be declared void. The following are the facts of the case. The then trustees of St. Thomas's Hospital granted. in 1763. a rever,inhary lease of certain houses in the town of Nortvlamp , on to Dr. Kerr, for which he gave a small sum of money, and covenanted to pay an annual rent of Si. on cominc , into poss ess i n o f tr , i houses, and to pay a fine o f 251. on every' renewal of the lease, iwhich wasrenewable every 14 years. In 1784 a further 1.- i • 1 was granted of other h ouses , f or w hi c h , w i th the prev.Ou's premises, he engaged to pay a rent of 221., and :, ii„. • on renewal. It was contended by th e r e l a t or t h at the rent. at which the leases were granted was most inadeq uate and in. jarious to the charity, and that, being granted in fraud, the leases were now invalid. After reading a vast quantity of ci , cumentary evidence, and the testimony of surveyors to 1 p;ove that the rent insured by the lease was the fair value of the premises under the contingencies upon which trey were let to Dr. Kerr, and considering the value of iland at the time, and also to show that the l a r ge sums of money expended by the Doctor and his daseendants, the present lessees, during the last 60 years, and which ex ceeded 4,0001., had caused the present value of the houses, Mr. TURNER addressed the Court in support of the ` 1 leases on the part of the grandson of Dr. Kerr, and con . iinu'd his arguments until the rising of the Court, when the else was adjourned till Monday (this day).

THE NEW POLICE ACT. Since the passing of the above Act, the inhabitant tradesmen of the different parishes in the metropolis have been subjected to the repeated attacks of com mon informers, by whom they have been summoned before Magistrates, and fined under the 60th section of the 7th clause therein contained, which enacts—" That every person who shall expose for sale in any park or public garden, unless with consent of the owner or other person authorised to give such consent ; or so hang over any carriage way or foot way, or on the outside of any house or shop ; or who shall set up and continue any pole, blind, line, or other projection from any window or parapet, or other part of any house or shop, so as to cause annoyance or obstruction, shall bo liable to a fine of forty shillings." One informer, named Stowell, having under that clause caused tradesmen to be fined to the amount of many hundred pounds, the tradesmen of the several parishes in the City of Westminster formed a Mutual Protection Society, the committee of which resolved to request their representatives, Sir De Lacy Evans and Mr. Leader, to call the attention of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the clause referred to. To such request Sir De Lacy Evans and Mr. Leader kindly acceded, and according ly, a few days back, accompanied by a deputation com posed of the most influential tradesmen, with Mr. H. Phil lips, solicitor to the Society, they waited upon the Mar quis of Normanby at th e Home Office, when his Lordship, having listened attentively to the arguments urged, was pleased to say he would take prompt and decisive steps to alleviate the grievance comp l a i ne d o f. I n pursuance o f t hi s promise, his Lordship submitted the 60th sec tion of the 7th clause to the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown, who decided, " that unless it was proved by credible evidence that the goods outside any house or shop are an annoyance or obstruction in any thoroughfare, the party summoned cannot be legally convic:ed." His Lordship immediately trans mitted circulars of that statement to the different Police Magistrates, the consequence of which has been, that all informations laid, and remaining unheard previous to the above communication from his Lordship, have. on the day fixed for hearing, been dismissed without the particulars being entered into, and with the loss of costs to the informer. The above Society intend hav ing a public dinner to celebrate the achievement of so glorious a triumph over the rascally informers, their ' spies, and witnesses.

A game may now be carried on by correspondence, at little expense. The Nottingham Chess Club have offered to play the clubs of Wakefield, Doncaster, Yarmouth, York, Huddersfield, or any other provincial club ; and the match with Huddersfield has actually commenced, it being conditioned that Mr. Newham, the chief player of the Nottingham Club, having a match by correspondence in pro gress with Mr. Wilson, president of the Portsmouth Club, s ill take no part whatever in the projected match, either directly or indirectly.—Nottingham Review. - The present Tory Members for East Suffolk, Sir C. B. Vet e and Lord Henniker, have both taken alarm at the rumoured intention of Mr. Shatto Adair to contest the re presentation of that division of the County with them, and have both published addresses, announcing their intention to come forward again, standingj ointly on tivt Tory interest.

OPERATIVE ANTI-CORN-LAW AsSOCIA TION—PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON THE CORN-LAVvs.—On Wednesday evening last, the Manchester Operative Anti- Corn law Association held a meeting in Carpenters' Hall, to hear an address on the Corn-laws from Mr Warren, their Pre sident, and, as the placard calling the meeting expressed it, tt to afford the advocates of these thieving laws an opportunity of showing that the people ought to starve in the midst of plenty." About half-past eight o'clock, the large room being then about three parts lull, Mr. Warren took the chair, and delivered an address of considerable length, dwelling principally on the best course to be pursued by the working classes ; and advising them not to let their desire to obtain Universal Suffrage hinder them from agitating the question of Corn laws. Two operatives, named Mark Bridewell and Leech, also addressed the meeting, and endeavoured to show that the distress of the working classes was not owing to the Corn-laws, but to the extension of machinery. They were answered by Edward Curran and Mr. Warren. —Blanchester Guardian.

James Fleming and others of the crew of the brig Deposite, hare been brought before the United States District Court at Boston, charged with the murder of the captain and passengers, and the forcible seizure of the brig. From the report in the Bay State Democrat, we learn that the design was conceived shortly after the vessel left the port of Boston, the men having provided themselves with opium, which they attempted, during the passage to the coast of Africa, to administer to the officers by drugging the coffee, but as the cook, Antonio, was faithful, and would not be bribed, they could not effect their pur pose. Arriving at Loango, 89,000 in gold was taken on board, and the conspirators, foiled in their first attempt, and incited by the person who is said to have been the originator of the scheme, determined to resort to violence. Accordingly, while the captain and mate were on shore, the captain's pistols and ammunition were taken from his chest, and carried to the forecastle, and it was arranged to kill him and the mate when they returned on board. Contrary to ex pectation, however, they did not come alone, but with them came some Portuguese, who had been hired to assist about the cargo. The conspirators dared not make the attempt, the pistols were returned. and fear of detection from the numerous Portuguese on the coast induced them to defer the execution of their design till they should sail for Rio de Janeiro. On their passage to that place, no opportunity offered until a few days before their arrival, when the time of execution was appointed, and the signal agreed upon, which was to be given by the man at the helm, who was provided with a stone slung in a stocking to knock the captain down when he was taking the sue, which was to be the signal for a general attack. The day arrived, and the conspirators anxiously waited for the signal ; bnt the brig being well on shore, the cap tain on that day omitted his observation. Their plan thus frustrated, its execution was deferred until the succeeding night, when the captain and mate should both be asleep, but they, being warned by the cook, were on their guard, slept alternately, one or the os her being always up and ready for action. The day after they arrived at Rio Janeiro, and anchored in the harbour, and even then they would have accomplished their design had not the sicinity of an English brig de terred some of them from making the attempt. On receiving information of the state of affairs on board the brig, the American Consul sent off a detach ment of soldiers, who took them and carried them ashore for examination, when Fleming confessed the whole plot, and the captain not objecting, was allewed to return to his duty on board the Deposite, in which he came to this city. The others were sent to this country in the ship of war Boxer, which arrived with them the day before yesterday at New York, where they will be tried. The venerable Earl of Lansdale is surrounded b. a family party at Cottesmore, including Lord and Lady Wil liam Powlett, Lady Frederick Bentinck, the lion.

Mary Claxton, a charwoman, was charged with stea'- ing a penny candle. Mr. White, baker, Finsbury-pavement, stated that the woman had been for some time attending on a lodger in his house, and so many trifling articles had been stolen that suspicion fell upon his servants ; but having a suspicion of the prisoner, and having missed candles, pocket-handkerchiefs, towels, and other things to which she had access, he counted the candles in the box, and marked them. Some time afterwards the prisoner passed the plac'i, and, looking into the box, he found a candle had been abstracted from it ; he charged the woman with the theft, and after some hesitation she produced the candle from her pocket. The ALDERMAN sentenced her to one month's im prisonment and hard labour. POLICE COMMITTEE, GUILDHALL. THE OMNlllis NUrsANCE.—The Commissioner of the City Police attended for the purpose of preferring betwee❑ forty and fifty charges against omuibus drivers for loitering in the streets ; the officers manifested great zeal and activity in their obedience to his directions, in preventing the long complained of obstructions ariv ing from the " creeping and crawling system" upon which the drivers have been uniformly acting. In every case the Alderman fined each party, and followed up the fine with the assurance that the penalty should be doubled upon future convictions. The citizens are feeling, in the abatement of the ar noyance which the omnibuses were every moment in fi.cting, as well as in other maiters, the greatest advan tage from the exertions of Mr. Harvey. MARLBOROUGH-STRiIET. Lucy Gooch, housemaid in the service of Mr. Wood, No. 5, Golden -square, was put to the bar before Mr. Dyer on a charge of felony. It appeared that the prisoner had been about four months in Mr. ‘Good's service before she was taken into custody. A short time back an alleged attempt to 'oh the plate chest was made. On inspection the chest was found to have had an attempt made to force it. Open, b u t without success.
