II I carried into effect:—Let a man, desirous to go to our North American Colonies, obtain a certifieete from his landlord, clergyman, and nearest local =air.' ate, stating his desire to emigrate, with a wile and so many chil dren, and that he has only part, or no pert, of the money requisite for that purpose, the Government agent at the nearest pert of embarkation should, on such a voucher beieg handed to him, be empewered to provide them wi h a passage, enclosing it again with a state menti of the expense incurred , t o the secretary sit the grand jury, to be by that body assessed on the county at of large, or, as I should much pre fer, to the chairman the electoriel division to whic h the emigrant belongs, to be recovered by an additional er rate, be o cause it is better for the rate-pay thus t get rid of a whole family of paupers by at once paying a certain sum, than for them for ever to be a burthen on the union, while the evil of small holdings is pointed out in a most intelligible manner —through their pockets—to the rate-payers and public, doing more to undermine and make unpopular tile system, than all the speeches, writings and enact ments of the last half century ; the landlord, of course, in the first instance, having bound himself in his certifi cate that the holding will not again be let to a separate tenant, hut will be added to the farm of the nearest and moat improving tenant. The late Chancellor of the Ex chequer does not think that any Government ought to be ;intrusted with power to d aw for an indefinite amount on the Consolidated Fond, but that the Minister should crime t th House os. Commons from time to time foe the sum, however large, he may require. There is a cold propriety in this which will gain some little popularity in the day-book and ledger portion of a community ; but in it we can all perceive a holding back, a paralysing of the hand of succour to be held out to Ireland, and a clogging of the machinery for her relief. No Minister will come down to the House of Commons, day after day, or year after year, with demands upon his liberality, knowing the long and vexatious debates, and, perhaps, divisions, to which he will be subject, and with which money bills are indeed so sure to be assailed in that House, and especially in certain quarters of it. The time I may hope is past when Ireland can be legislated for in such a spirit, which seemingly confers what it in reality withholds, better far to fix at once a large and liberal sum as the maximum to which the Minister may proceed, when all that the most pinching economist can require is a full :statement, from time to time, to be laid before the House of the monies expended to benefit the country ; I would reiterate the necessity of a revision of the Grand Jury Laws, especially as regards the great power of assess ment, and of those relating to salmon fisheries, as I can not help thinking that almost all recent enactments in .regard thereto have much tended to oppress and embar rass the proprietors, while no one else lbin any intelli gible degree benefited, unless, indeed, such people as would grasp and poach tt property they well know they have no other right to than what is conferred by an unfair and unwise law. If a , me early enactments do not .throw these people further from the entrance of salmon streams, this deecription of property will, in a few years more, he little worth legislating for. Lastly, Sir, I would draw the attention of Irish M. mbers to a force which this country has to support—the revenue police— the existence of which I cannot help thinking an indig nity to Ireland, which, happily, she does not at this moment afford a satisfactory pretext fur having in :flicted on her. Reduce the duty 2s. a gallon on whiskey, and then to assert, as some gravely will, that such a force is more required here than in England or Scotland, is in my mind exceeding a formal imbecility? Thanks to Father Matthew, and the great aid given to that good man by the clergy and gentry of all creeds and classes, it is indeed not so ; but it affords large patronage, and will consequently find many friends and arguments to uphold it ; but I shall still hope that the day is not far distant when justice .and scund policy will assail the existence of a most ex vensive and unnecessary force ; tar be it from me to :fay one word which can pain or iiisparaee a body of men which in zeal, efficiency, an l good conduct are hardly to be surpassed by any in the service of her Msjesty. I should simply rejoice to see them absorbed by the Irish constabulary or the army, where I am certain their services would he of some greater value to the state, end somewhat less irksome to themselves. It is a fallacy to assert that the greater portion of spirits ma nufactured in this country is consumed by the lower orders ; it is not so, and its consumption, therefore, is not attended with a demoralizing effect. Consequently There wia be no materially increased demand, and no ill effect to be apprehended in doing away with the re venue police, if the duty on whiskey is wisely reduced. I would at the same time reduce the duty on West India ruin, in such a degree, as while it did not interfere with the Irish distiller, would at the same time operate eo prevent any attempt at an exaggerated profit, and a esmseqtr,nt revival or extension of an illegal competition. should, however, old prejudice still hang around the minds of some, or a real apprehension that as " the pledge" wears away with time, and Providence sheds a greater abundance on the land, illicit distillation may once In - )re pin ground. I would say, reduce still more your duty; I would still implore you to abolish the .principle of inculcating sobriety by the bayonet, or of iiptlolding morality by hunting the people like wild beasts upon the mountains. Depend upon it such a course is unwise, as it is degrading to the country—as uncalled for as it is detestable. Let me beg of some Ilnnourable Member in his place in Parliament, to move for returns of all stills, whiskey and malt, taken or de istroyed by the revenue police within the last five years; also, fur returns of the sums expended in the maintenance of the establishment; and I would then ask the Government and the country if the amount of the one is at all an equivalent for the ex penditure of the other, furnishing as it does one of those many eharmels which divert the Irish revenue :from the imperial treasury, and resulti; g only in those Prue! taunts against out country, that in our union with England we are her degradati. n and her bane. Do awry. I beseech yotl, with .ilich a force, and spend the money it costs this country - in a well digested system of egricultaral, religious, and moral training of the rising generation, and you will reap a rich reward in ih* sti- AnulatA industry, happiness, and wealth of a grateful and a regent rated people. If I have, in thus trespassing upon your valuable spite, overcome a painful reluctance and owe to you, Sir, and the public, some apology, I assured, my only motive will be permitted to plead one fur me, better than any words I can offer. I am, Sir, your very faithful and obedient servant, JAMES HENRY TODD. Buncrana Castle, County Dons gal } 22d Feb. 1847. El MA.RYLEBONE VESTRY. APPALLI.G DESTITUTION.-0 1 1 Saturday, shortly after the Rev. Dr. Spry had oken the chair, Mr. Hodg- I kinson. a guardicn, entered the vestry-room and begged a temporary suspension of' the business to enable him to communicate to the board some important information respecting the state of the poor of the palish. He said that there were 800 men in the workhouse yard at that moment, imploring for bread, e ithout obtaining any re lief, or the prospect of it, as there was no work for them. Unless immediate steps were taken to give them food he could not answer for the result. Mr. LAURIE (city pleader), said that although Mr. Hodgkittson's statement was the sug_ , estion of a kind heart, it betrayed but little policy. The tact was that so pressing and so numerous were the claims upon them that they were compelled to resort to the labour test. During the last fortnight, the It ish paupers seeking out door relief were 70 per cent. as compared with the English. Such should not be the case; but Irish pros perity should be compelled to relieve Irish poverty. Sir PETER LAURIE never signed a petition with greater pleasure than he did the one calling upon the Legislature to force the Irish landlords to support their own per. Mr. GLAZIER denounced the conduct of the guardians in allowing 800 men to starve, as being outrageous and scandalous in the extreme. Mr. RAWLINSON (magistrate)—lf there are 800 of our fellow-creatures starving, why nut ad;ourn this meeting instanter, and let the guardians assemble and devise measures to relieve them.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. M. CIIEL-01 the 22,000 lately relieved in the workhouse, a vast majority were impostors. Mr. G. DANIEL—It was lately resolved to abolish the labour test, anti to afford assistance to every applicant deserving of relief. If that resolution were acted upon, such a frightful statement as had been just made would not have come before them. Every poor person ought to obtain instant relief.—(Hear, hear.) The guardians having promised to inquire into the statement, and Mr. Skase, the surveyor, having gua ranteed to provide all the able-bodied with work, the subject was dropped. IRISH WASTE LAN----D-IMPROVE MEN r SOCIETY. The usual half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this society was held on Saturday, at the King's Head Tavern, Poultry; the Earl of Devon in the chair. After a considerable delay, The Ciratitmass said that it appeared there was not a suf ficient number of shareholders present to constitute a legal meeting for any efficient purposes. He was not aware that there there was any very pressing matter for the society. There would be no call on the shareholders for money, nor would any resolution be passed, It was, however, the opi nion of the directors present that as there were so many of the shareholders there who might wish to hear the report of their engineer, Colonel Robinson, it would be as well to read it, though they could adopt no steps in reference to it —( Hear, Lear.) The SECRETARY then read the report, which after alluding to the distress that existed in Ireland, but which prevailed less generally on the estates of the society than elsewhere, and the refusal of the Government to afford them any assist ance, proceeded to state that the expectations held forth last year of the tenants generally having sufficient crops, had been realised. and hopes were also entertained from the efforts of the society, that a system of rotation crops might be introduced. In some cases they had, however, failed to induce their ten ants to abandon the sole planting of the potato. Those who had been the longest on the estates of the society, had showed every disposition to adopt the suggestions that were thrown out to them for the improvement of their land, and every means had been need, by giving seeds gratuitously, promises of reward for improvements, and other means to stimulate the apathetic, and to encourage the industrious. The society, notwithstanding all their endeavours, had found a vast amount of destitution on their:estatee. In some cases one-fifth of the crops had been lost, and an apathy, in duced by their sufferings, existed among the tenants in several instances, against which all the efforts of the sociey were ineffectual. The society had, notwithstanding, given employment to a great num ber, and they had every reason to expect that a much larger portion of land would be shortly reclaimed. In consequence of the losses that had been sustained, those tenants who were under progressive rents had not been sub jected to any increase in their rents during the past year. Several applications had been received from persons desirous of taking land on the estates of the society, but such were refused, unless it could be shown that there was sufficient capital to meet the contingencies that were to be naturally looked forward to during the coming six months. Treaties had. been entered into for the purchase of five thou sand acres of land. On the estate of the society at thd linakill there was a loss of seventy-five per cent., and some of the tenants would not work on the land. No exertions had been spared to overcome this feeling. Rob beries had also become frequent in this district, as well as in every part of Galway. Wages had been paid in Indian meal, at the request of tenants themselves. In some cases there was a loss of 90 per cent. in this district. Since October, however, 7,500 perches of land had been drained. In Kil kerrin it was found that the crops of twenty tenants had failed, and the losses in some cases varied from 80 to 90 per cent., but the average was only 30 per cent. What was scientifically cal!ed nullipora had been successfully used with manure in this district. A communication had been effected between the counties of Mayo and Galway ; a grant had been obtained fur schools, and every effort had been made to meet the distress that existed in Connemara and Mayo. The CHAIRMAN said—He thought the meeting must agree with him as to the propriety of having the report submitted to theta. It could not in the present state of Ireland be ex pected that there would be a return for money invested in a speculation of this kind, but it was evident that they had every reasonable prospect of success. He thought that from the disposition of the Government to forward everything beneficial to Ireland ; therefore, notwithstanding their former failure, another application would be successful. To prom. to this object the directors would use every endeavour.—(llear.) An How. l'uortunToa suggested, that if application were made to Government for power to enable them to become purch isers instead of lessee, it would be desirable. The CHAIIIMAN said he at proved of the suggestion, and ! 1 he had no doubt application to Government for such a pur pose would be successful. It hail been entertained by the directors, but there was an iniaceenntable jealousy in Ireland of those who met in the Poultry, by sonic who gave them • selves the title of " Friends of Ireland," that they did carry out their views. There was, however, a different feciing at present, from which he augured the best results. The meeting then separated. STATE OF TRADE.

We were recently put in possession of the details 1 of one of the most suit:tiler and perilous adventures during a snow storm, which we recollect to have heard. The parties concerned are highly respectable and well known gentlemen in this neighbourhood,—James Side bottom, Esq. of Waterside, near Glossop, and Mr. Ed ward Wrigley. colliery surveyor and civil engineer, of Cross-street, Manchester ; and though these gentle mennaturallyo e t makingto sa w themselves nesppe a the were sudrjects f a y, such as report may be calculated to give them, yet Mr. Wrigley was induced, from a representation that the notice might operate as a caution to other parties, at this inelement season of the year, not hastily to place themselves in a similar position to the very dan gerous one from which they have escaped, to give us the particulars of a story, an outline of which had reached our reporter through another channel. It may I be remarked that the scene of this adventure is on the same bleak and loftyrange of hills, forming the boundary between Derbyshire and Yorkshire, and only five or six miles from the spot. on which a soldier of the 69th regiment perished a few weeks ago, under circumstances not unlike those we are about ti relate. Mr. Wrigley, on this occasion, was on a professional journey, one of the objects of that journey being to search for the inlet of the brook known by the retiree of the Great Crowden Br-ok, into the river Etherow. He was accompanied by Mr. Sidebottom, and they reached Woodhead Station, the nearest point to their destination they could attain by a travelling convey ance, by about nine o'clock on Monday morning, by the train of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, which leaves Manchester at a q uarter before eight. From thence they walked down the turnpike road towards Huddersfield, as far as the summit of llolme Moss, and turned westward on to the moors, en deavouring to follow the boundary between the coun ties of Derby and York ; but whilst they were thus en gaged, a snow storm came on, and they were completely beeildered. They took a direction which they con ceived would lead them into the valley down which the Great Crowden flows ; but after a cold and fatiguing walk, they came to the turnpike road from Greenfield to Holmfirth, a distance of several miles from the place at which they aimed. The snow was coming down at this time very fast; there are neither paths nor vegetation in the desolate coun try they had traversed, and the snow prevented them from obtaining a sight of any landmarks by which to direct their course. They had a copy of the ordnance map, however, with them, and after some considera tion as to the course they should tike, they again left the turnpike road to cross the moors. This was about one o'clock on Monday, and they had reason to believe that their best guide to the point of which they were in search was to walk in the teeth of the snow. To their astonish ro,ent and disappointment. however, after traversing a rough and precipitous country for nearly three hours, they came, at nearly four o'clock, upon the turnpike road to Greenfield, at little more than a mile from the point at which they had first left. Mr. Wrigley now suggested that they should desist from the furtheryrosecution of their search till more favourable weather, mid that they should pursue the road to Greenfield, and from thence get home by way of Staly bridge, which place they could have reached in time for a railway train. Mr. Sidebottom, how ever, had confidence in his knowledge of the country, and the snow having abated for a time, thought they should still be able to reach the p pint at which they had aimed. They consequently returned again upon the moors, and had been engaged for nearly three hours in the object of their excursion, when they came upon a book, which they were led, to hope was the Crowden. With great difficulty they reached the bed of the brook, down a precipitous and dangerous ledge of rocks, with the in tention of following the course of the stream. But darkness had overtaken them nearly two hours before this, and they at length found it impossible, under such circumstances, to surmount the obstacles pre sented by the immense rocks in the course of the stream. In crossing one of these rocks, Mr. Wrigley met with a serious accident. A portion of it was covered with ice, but both the snow and the darkness tended to con ceal it, and the consequence was, that he was precipi tated with almost stunning violeece into the water which in this place must have been four or five feet deep. In deed, it would be difficult for any one not placed in similar circumstances to conceive the danger and diffi culties with which they had to contend after darkness had set in. The moors in this place are covered with peat to the depth of from five to fifteen feet, often affording a treacherous footing to the traveller; and in these great gullies (locally called " gruffs"), have been washed from time to time by the rains. Many of these gullies are eight or ten feet deep, and several yards in width, but they ale now, in some places partially, and in others wholly choked up with snow, adding to the fatigue as well as danger of crossing them. Mr. Sidebottom, who is a stout man, had begun to feel the fatigue of the journey much more than his companion when they arrived at the brook, and was so overcome by it and the cold together, that as they sat in a recess formed by the rocks, at the side of the brook, an almost irresistible drowsiness stole over him, and he proposed to pass the night there. That they should both have bees fatigued and worn out is no wonder, for they frequently lost their footing, and had severe falls. Mr. Sidebottoin slipped down a ledge of rocks ten or twelve feet in depth, and had many heavy falls, and Mr. Wrigley, who fared little better, stunk at one time into the bog to his armpits, be sides getting wet in the brook, as before mentioned. Mr. Wrigley resired the proposition to pass the night in the recess, which only partially sheltered them from I the weather, believing that from the state they were then in, one or both of them could as,urectly never I survive till the return of day ; and with some diffieulty I . induct d his companion to make au effort to find the ' turnpike road, or a more suitable place of shelter. 1 They thee climbed the rock, to an elevation of probably a hundred feet about the level of the stream, and it then became evident that Mr. Sidebottom was too much benumbed and exhausted to move much further. In this dilemma, it is a singuler circumstance that Mr. Wrigley, who had seated himself on .a ledge of rock, regardless of the snow, to wait for his o epanion (who had called upon him to stop, declaring his inability te continue the journey), feeling an opening beneath his feet, which he could not fathom even by holding on the reek with the hands, was led to hope there was some recess in which they could obtain shelter for the remainder of the night. In the darkness, how ever, it was impossible to see of what delth it might be; and they were afraid to trust themselves to a descent which might involve serious injury, or lose of life. At length Mr. Sidebottom, taking hold of the hands of Mr. Wrigley, was let down, and et.abled to touch the bottom with his feet, and both of thenti descending, found them selves immediately in a cavern of the reeks, of irregular shape, but about 3 yards in length and l} yards in width. Here they at once resolved to pass the night. It was difficult to say which was in the worst condition for such a resting place. Mr. Wrigley was wet to the skin, but had a top-coat and gloves on; Mr. Sidebottom had left home without either of these useful cover ings. They could not see the time by their watches, but imagined it to be about eight o'clock when they discovered the cave. To keep out the snow, which blew into their retreat with bitter coldness, the only thing available to form a door was the ordnance map, which had been wet through in Mr. Wrigley's pocket when he fell into the brook; and this, on being held to tF t ohoer somet sneo several mouth 1 t o eh f n j t tu h , r e f so cave, rtnahyl, soon aaats e hr hack te t kinff frometeneds 7 ,,,,, i ,e th iwn i the tnhde f ah r n o nd s p t e, snow. athn(llt, they should he able, with the heat obtained in this way, to resist the effects of the cold, but they found it neces sary at intervals to get upon their feet and move about, and stamp on the floor, to induce a circulation of the blood. Even with these aids, however, they found the cold so piercing about midnight, as to induce them to try other mean., and one of these was to wrap their handkerchiefs over their faces anti mouths, as veils, to obtain the benefit of warmth to the face from the breath thus confined to teat locality. For several hours, Mr. Sidebottom lay across Mr. Wrigley's knees, as that gen tleman sat on the floor of the cave with his back against one of the sides, and his right arm resting on a shelf of the rock; anti additional warmth was obtained by each 1 in this way. The great difficulty was to keep off sleep, which each felt must be fatal to the party indulging in it; and to keep off this friend so refreshing to the tired frame under ordinary circumstances, but now dreaded as the worst enema that could insinuate itself, they found it necessary continually to ask each other the question. In spite of all their efforts, however, they seem to have been so benumbed and cold as only to have retained half-consciousness, and day-light, at seven o'clock, sur prised and gladdened them by its appearance, when th. y supposed it to be only three in the morning. With the return of light, on Tuesday morning, they nearly ventured forth f rom t h e i r wretc h e d retreat , b ut so deprived of the of countrysensibility, they had that to ec at traverse. reae o a h they t. could withsThe They the nature p difficulty walk.

Instead of finding themselves on the Great Crowden Brook they found it was the Greenfi e ld Brook ; and the object by which they first made this discovery was the plantation at no great distance, at the top of which stands th e house known by the name of Bills 'o -Jack' s , t h e scene of a notorious murder, committed some years ago upon a father and son, the perpetrators of which have never 3et been discovered. They pressed forward as fast as they couid, having discovered the locality, and soon arrived at a farm-house called Ashway Gap, where they broke a fast which had been protracted to twenty-six hours' duration ! If they walked with difficulty and pain, however, before reaching this shelter, they had still greater deficulty in walking atom sitting bee Ore a warm fire for a time. They tried in vain to obtain a convey. fence on the road, and had to walk to Stale bridge, a dis tance of eight or nine wiles, from vvhenc - they took " the rail" to their respective homes. Mr. Wrigley had left home, stating that he might probably be away all night, and his absence created no uneasiness; but Mr. Sidebottom had given no such intitnatien to his family, and the alarm in which his protracted absence hit placed them may be conceived. Both of the gentlemen have gat-red severely from the effects of cold and bruises since—Mr. Sidebottom in particular—but we believe they are now fast recovering from them. It is a sin gular circumstance, that though they must have walked a distance of not less than nine or ten miles on the Monday night, after leaving the Green field turnpike road, the cave in which they shel tered is not more than half a mile from the point they started from, and at which they had a second time found themselves at four o'clock; so that they seem to have journeyed, probably from some peculiarity of the country, continually in a circle.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. From a curious " Table of Prices of Wheat," by Lieu tenant Mackenzie, author of the "Elements of the Cycles of the Winds, Weather, and Prices of Corn." compiled from Smith's " Wealth of Nations," and our Parliamen tary records, the following deductions are made. We are induced to lay these before our readers from the circumstance that, of late, public attention has been aroused, both at home and abroad, to the discovery made by Mackenzie of a fifty-four years' cycle or peri odical revolution of the weather. The " Table" we refer to records the prices of wheat from the year 1203 to the present time; and, by a minute computation, it is nan3d',a d r u s rin o g f t th he e o c t s h c c h ; proved that during twenty - seve , e pries have a tendency to r is e twenty-seven years to fall. From 1836 till 1847, the in clination to higher prices has been perceptible; and, from the present year till the year 1862 they will, it is conjectured, still further advance. This the author ascribes to the great prevalence of unfavourable winds on this division of the fifty-four years' cycle. The dreadful years ef 1800-1801, when prices wore at 110'. and 116 s ; and again 1812-13. when prices were at 116.. a quarter ; fell within the corresponding division f twenty-seven years. There is no doubt (the author admits) that the effect of corn-laws, and other c)nven tional arrangements of legislators, political economists, changes in the currency, &c., materially affect the prices: these, and a state of peace or war, vary the rate and generally produce higher prices upon both the dear and cheap divisions of the cycle—more especially when Europe is suffering under a striking visitation of nature; but Legislative measures can have no place in any sys tematic account of the weather or in the revolution of seasons ; and such is the powerful influence of the weather, that prices, on the average, are proved to be cheap and dear on the respective divisions of the fifty-four years' cycle. This very influence of the weather—altogether independent of conventional ar rangements—would produce, as it has produced already for a period extended back for more than five hundred years, an average of 54s on the dear half (or twenty seven years) of the cycle; and of 365. per quarter on the cheap halt 'We are now in the commencement of a series of unfavourable years, which (if the theory be well- founded) will prevail till 1862, when another revo lution of the cycle will occur, which will have a tendency to produce greater abundance, and consequently the prices will decrease from that period till the year 1889. —Church arid Mate Gazette. FOOD RIOT—STATE of the NORTH. Avoctt.—At the village of Avoch, in {toss shire, very determined opposition was made by the fishermen and others of the villagers, upon Friday and Saturday last, to an attempt, by Mr. George More, farmer and corn dealer, to ship some h trley. Mr. More having applied for protection in the shipment, Mr. Jardine, the sheriff of the county, accompanied by Mr. Cameron, the sheriff substitute, Mr. Mackenzie, the procurator-fiscal, and some officers, repaired to Avoch upon Friday, and were joined there by Sir Jas. Mackenzie, Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch, and others. Arrangements had been made for procuring from Fort-George, the aid of a company of the 76th Regi ment; but the forenoon was so stormy that they could not be brought across the ferry in time to render their ser vices available that day. In their ahsence the sheriff and his party endeavoured, but in vain, to obtain ac cess to the vessel, which lay at the pier-head to re. eive the grain. Previously to their arrival, the entrance t i , the pier had been barricaded by means of boats reversed, and, when they came up. a crowd of from 100 to 200 men and women, old and young, expressed to them, veer unequivocally, their resolution to obstruct the grain in its passage to the ship. Proceedi!gs were. in conse quence, delayed until Saturday forenoon, when the au thorities and their friends re-appeared, supported by sixty men and two officers from the Fort. The villagers had, in the meantime, loosened the . vessel 'from her moorings, and it was not until about two o'clock the state of the tide admitted of her being afloat ; but several of the fishermen entered their boats in the harbour, with the evident design of drawing her away, should she move towards the pier. The people were addressed, and reasqed with by the Sheriff and others to no put-puss'.. One o the crowd read aloud the lesolutions of a meeting, held about a fortnight ago, containing a pledge, subscribed by Mr. More among others, not to export any more grain from the district this season. This was rather an untoward circumstance ; and we doubt whether the Sheriff, had he known it earlier, would have felt himself hound to comply with the requisition for protection. Ali Parties being now on the ground, however, it was: to., ate to retrace their steps, and explanations and argu ments have failed to induce the people to retire, the sol diers were ordered to secure the command of the pier— the boats lying across, the access to which were ' literally covered with women—and the Sheriff read the Met Act. The people continued determined to resist, saying they might as well die then as starve for want of food ; but as the preparations for a conflict approached maturity, Mr. More consulted his friends, and came forward and declared that, " to pre vent bloodshed," he had resolved to abandon the intended shipment, and to retain the grain in the country—upon which the people cheered and chaired him. Three young men, considered to have been active in the riot, were ap prehended on the spot, and sent away to the prison of I)ingwull under a military escort, and so the affair has ended for the present. Farmers and corn-dealers in Ross-shire complain that they are subjected to great in comvenience by suspension of shipments of grain, owing to the non-arrival of the Ilth regiment, which has been expected in Fort George for the last three weeks—the whole disposable force in the garrison having now been dispatched to Caithness, to quell the food riots in that county. —lnverness Courier.

The cortige left Sussex-square at ten o'clock, and proceeded to the Old Church, where the ceremony was performed in a most im pressive manner by the Rev. James Anderson, preacher of Lincoln's Inn. The bride was given away by her father, and was attended by the Hon. M iss Ga g e, Miss Craven, Caroline Randolph, Miss Slater, and Miss Anna Bird, who officiated as bridesmaids. The gallant bridegroom was sup ported on this interesting occasion by his brother, Mr. Albert. Ricardo. The party who were present at the ceremony con sisted of Lord and Lady Gage, Lady Henley, Sir John and Lady Pollen, Mr. and Mrs. J. L Ricardo, Mr. and Mrs. A. Keyser, Mr. Fulwar Craven, Mr. M. Ricardo, Mr. Albany B. Saville, Mr. Alfred Peel, and Mr. W. 11. Morley. The morn ing was unusually fine, and this, combined with the interest which has always been felt by the inhabitants of this town for a family so long resident, so highly respected, and who have been always so distinguished for their charitable exertions and real benevolence, attracted a large concourse of spectators. The children of the Brighton Orphan Asylum, in whom the bride has always taken a lively interest, were assembled in the churchyard to take a farewell look of their youthful patroness, and strewed flowers in the path of the beautiful and accomplished bride. The ceremony over, the party returned to Sussex-square, and being joined by a nu merous circle of friends, partook of an elegant ‘l4eziner a-lu jourchette. At half-past one the happy pair took their leave, and proceeded to fitness Park, Sunning-hill, the seat of S. Ricardo, Esq., where they intend passing the honey-moon. We are given to understand tb it the trousseau was of the most magnificent description. It will be gratifying to our lady readers to know that the bride was attired in a white 9 1 acie silk, covered with three deep flounces of Limerick lace; the head-dress consisted of a long veil of the same material, encircled by a wreath of orange blossoms and jas min.

ETHER.—PAINLESS SURGICAL OPERATIONS AT THE Royal, FREE HOSPITAL, G R AY'S-INN -ROAM — On Saturday afternoon, Thomas Wakley, jun., Esq , surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital, performed a very difficult operation upon Miss Ann Sheen, aged 20 years, in presence of several medical gentlemen connected with the charity. The ether having been admini , ,tered by Mr. T. W. Cooke , the hous e surgeon, and inhal e d a short time by the patient, a tumour of a can cerous nature was removed from the right breast. On re covering from the effects of the vapour, the patient spoke some incoh erent sentences , a nd asked if some one had not been pricking her with a pin ; and, on further coming round observed that she would rather defer the operation.

The interest with which every addition to our stock of plants, capable of affording food, is at present regarded, will render a few observations, on a species of grain hi therto unknown in Ireland, acceptable to our readers. At ' a late meeting of the Council of the Cbernico-Agricul rural Society, I produced a sample of the seeds of a South American plant, which,by the kindness of a friend, I had procured, about a year ago, from a Peruvian gen tleman, who, at present, resides in Liverpool. The parcel, containing the seeds, was accompanied with a note, in praise of their numerous valuable . qualities, and stated, that they were known in Peru by the name of quinoa. At the same time, my friend sup plied Mr. Ferguson, Curator of the Royal Botanic Garden, with a parcel of the seeds, but which, I regret to find, upon inquiry, did not vegetate. The only infor mation which I could, at that time, procure, respecting the plant that yields these seeds, was in The writings of the old Spanish voyager, Don Antonio de Ulloa, who, in his work on South America, when giving an account of the vegetable productions of the Province of Quito, speaks highly of its value, both for fthd and medicine. In the interesting work on South America of Dr. Tschudi, a German traveller, which has lately been translated into English, I observe some additional particulars re specting it, which are of peculiar interest, from the circumstance, that the plant has been successfully culti vated in Germany ; end should, according to his ac• count, be regarded as a valuable substitute for the potato. The following is the description which Ulloa gives us of this grain :—" Besides the grains of the same species with those in Spain, this country (Quito) ha one peculiar to itself, and which very well deserves to be ranked among the most palatable foods ; but still mitre valuable, from its being one of the best preserva tives against all kinds of abscesses and imposthumes. This useful species of grain is here called quinoa, re sembles a lentile in shape, but much less, and very white ; when boiled it opens, and out comes .a spiral fibre, which apears like a small worm, but whiter than the husk of the grain. It is an annual plant, being sowed and reaped every year. The sti mis about three or four feet in height, and has a large pointed leaf, something like that of the Malloro. The flower is of a deep red, and five or six inches in length, and in it are contained the grains or seed. The quinoa is eaten boiled, like rice, and has a very pleasant taste, and the water in which it has been boiled is often used as an apozern. The quinoa is often used in external applications, in order to which, it is ground and boiled to a proper consistence ; after which, it is applied to the part, from which it soon extracts all corrupt humours occasioned by a contusisn. Dr. Tschudi's account of this plant is not less interesting.—" Maize," he ssys, "is the species of grain most extensively culti vated in the Sierra ; it is of excellent quality, though smaller than that grown on the coast. Wheat, though it thrives well, is cultivated only in a very limited quantity, and the bread made from it is exceedingly bad. The other species of European grain, barley ex cepted, are unknown to the Serrano,. To compensate for the want of them, they have the quinoa (cheno podium quinoa, L), which is at once nutrious, whole some, and a pleasant article of food. The leaves of this plant, before it attains full maturity, are eaten like spinach ; but it is the seeds which are generally used for food. They are prepared in a variety of nays, but most frequently boiled in milk or broth, and sometimes cooked with cheese and Spanish pepper. The dried stems of the quinoa are used as fuel. Experiments in the cultivation of this plant have been tried in some parts of Germany, and with considerable success. It would appear, - however, that its flavour is not much liked--a circumstance rather surprising to the traveller, who has tasted it in Peru, where it is regarded in the light of a delicacy. It were to be wished, that the general cultivation of the quinoa could be introduced throughout Europe ; for, during the preva lence of the potato disease, this plant would be found of the greatest utility. It is a well-known fact that pots toes and tea, two articles now in such universal use, were not liked on their first introduction into Europe. The quinoa plant, which yields a wholesome article of food, would thrive perfectly in our hemisphere ; and though, in its hitherto limited trial, it has not found favour, there is no reason to conclude that it may not at a future time become an objest of general consumption."

HANEY RUSSELL AT THE STRAND TREATRE.— Few of our native vocalists and composers have reached greater popularity than Mr. Henry Russell—none have better deserved it. We attribute this success to a variety of cause. Mr. Russell has a very fine voice, of great compass, and so exceedingly manageable, that it is capa'.de alike of express ing the depths of passion and of pathos. His manner. too, is , listinguished for its utter want of pretension. His style, both as a singer and a compose-, is distinguished for its purity. After a provincial campaign of considerable dura tion, he has come back to Loudon for a short time, and has taken the Strand Theatre for the purposes of his perform ances. That place of amusement, which is too small for any but private theatricals, is exactly the place for a performer who, without any assistance, undertakes to make two hours pass so very pleasantly that the auditors "take no note of time," and when it is done wonder how the performances could have extended to such a length. Be sides, the size of the Strand Theatre peculiarly adapts it for the voice. There " hearing does not die in vastness," and the varying intonations and inflections of that magnificent organ—the human voice—can there be heard with satis faction. The theatre has been crowded during the week, and Mr. Russell has never been in better voice. The changes " from grave to gay, from lively to severe," in his songs and anecdotes is very pleasant. " The Dream of the Res eller" (which, by its truth and power, thrills through the heart), or the celebrated " Song of the Shirt,'' have scarcely been uttered, with the added force which music can give, ere the change is gin to the impulse by some clever and amusit Negro anecdote, or some lively song. This variety gi ves t h e greatest relief. It has been Ebenezer Elliott's greatest boast that the immortal Christopher North once designated him " The Poet of the Poor," . It may be Mr. Russell's pride, that lie, especially, merits to be called " The Musician for the People." Through the medium of his art, he has constantly aimed at the :melioration of the poorer classes. He has made the truth plead for them,—he has familiarised the wealthy, the Aristocracy, and the proud, with the sufferings and wrongs o f the humble and lowly. His is a high mission, and he fulfils it worthily. We may add that a new system has been introduced by Mr. Russell at the Strand Theatre. At other places of amusement the attendants expect fees for taking charge of cloaks ; bonnets, lac., but at Mr. Russell's no such Ipayments are permitted, while the needful is done quite as efficiently. and far more courteously, than by feed but ever craving servitors. MORE STREET ROBBERIES IN EDINBURGH.—We hear that on Wednesday night, last week, a gentleman con occed with the Excise, was knocked down on the road lead ing from Market-street to the Mound, and robbed of a gold watch--and late on Saturday night, a tradesman while going to his house in Potter-row, was assaulted in that street and robbed of about 15s.—Culedoniun Mercury. The folowing. paragraph, which we find in the Toronto Herald, gives a vivid picture of the extreme cold in Canada :—" It is with no small concern that, at the viry outset of our new volume, we have been compelled by cir cumstances, over which we could have no control, to be behind-hand as to the hour when to•day's Herald is issued. On Saturday evening the first side was worked off, and pre pared for going to press with the inside sheet the first thing this morning. Owing, however, to the extreme cold of last night, the paper—which, as every one acquainted with printing is aware of, is wetted down previously —was frozen together in a solid mass, despite all the precautions taken during the intervening day to prevent such an occurrence. The consequence has been that the paper had to be thawed, and some portion of it worked off a second time, era the ordinary process could be gone on with. Hence toe reason for the Herald being out so late this day." LYNCH LAW IN DEVON PORT DOCKYARD.—A ra ther summary mode of executing justice was adopted here last week, on board the hulk occupied by the crew of the Brazilian vessel now undergoing repair in the dockyard. It appears that two officers of this vessel engaged a couple of watermen to row them on board, not taking the caution to agree as to the fare previously. Now it is well known what watermen consider it their !Lundell duty to do under these circumstunces. In the present instance, then, they did not fail to demand 2s. instead of the one the Brazilians believed to be properly due. These refused to pay, and began to ascend the companion ladder. One of the men, with that polite and courteous urbanity which characterises his profes sion, instantly laid his hand upon the coat-tail of the hind most, and the result was a considerable rent in the laced skirt, and the ignominious detection of the officer. In this situation the latter judiciously sounded a parley. '6 Well, my good fellow," said he to his grim Charon, " come on board, and we'll arrange what you're to have." Nothing suspecting, the waterman went on deck, but was seized soon after by a file of marines, and received an uncertain number of lustily applied lashes, which, we are told, he did not bear with that amiable spirit of resignation one would have ex pected. His companion, artfully seduced on deck by visionary promises of biscuit and grog, was served in a similar manner, and after being kept some hours, the two were dismissed to make their reflections on the incompatibility of possessing at the same time roguery and a sound back.—Deronport Journal. PERILOUS SNOW STORM IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE --The mail from Gloucester to Abervstwith was in great peril on Its road at the foot of Plinammon Mountain, on Tuesday,, the 9th in s t. Ott its arrival at Llangwrig, at eight o clock in the evening, being five hours after time, six horses were attached to it, and it proceeded with the greatest diffi culty for five miles, when the obstructions increased. With the aid of Mr. Scott, of the Trewythen Arms Inn, Llanidloes, who happened to be at Llangwrig when the mail passed, and volunteered to assist, they got it onward another mile ; further, however, it was impossible to go, the drift being as high as the top of the coach; and the road being without fences of any kind, was totally undiscoverable. Sometime before this the postilion on the third pair of horses had been put inside the coach, he being totally benumbed with the intense cold, and his place on the saddle was taken by a stable boy. In this distress, it being evident that the coach must be abandoned for the night, the horses were detached, and the coachman (who for some time had been unable to drive, and had resigned the reins to Mr. Scott, who fortunately knew the road well) was put upon one of them, bet could not retain his seat, and was so totally helpless that Mr. Scott and the guard had no alternative but to put him also within the coach, with the postilion, for the night; whence he was fetched to Dyffrvn Castle Inn, on the following day, in a deplorable state. Tire horses were with difficulty taken to Dyffryn Castle, and the mail bags were taken thence by Mr. Scott and the guard to Aberystwith, where they arrived at six o'clock in the morn- I ing of the 10th. The coach was cut out of the drift in the course of the day. Fortunately there were 110 um' pat!. engem—Shrewsbury Chronicle, i.,zlW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 27. The Court was engaged all the morning with a trading case, •' Entwistle v.

The case, a dry and uninteresting one, was not expected to close before the rising of the Court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 27. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a special jury.) TYIE QUEEN V. DUNN. Immediately after the opening of the court, it was crowded to excess, and much curiosity was evinced to see the parties in this celebrated cause. The circum stances of the case are too well known to the public to need recapitulation, and it may be sufficient to say, that the defendant was indicted for perjury, in swearing that an order of Miss Burdett Coutts, on the bank of Messrs. Cutts and Co. for 100,000/., was genuine. The trial had been removed by ceri4lari from the Old Bailey to the Court of Queen's Bench, and Sir F. Thosiger, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Hawkins, were retained for the prose cution. Mr. Dunn conducted his own defence. Miss Burdett Gears, who was accompanied by Lord Sandon, sat upon the bench with the Lord Chief Justice, and gave her evidence with much calmness and self-pos session. Si4e, with Mr. Marjoribanks, Sir Edward An trohus, and a clerk in the bank, proved the application at the hank, as also that no authority bad been given to Mr. Dunn to draw upon the bank by Miss Coutts. The several witnesses iaa re cross-examincd by Mr. Dunn, and the declaration for the writ of certiorari was read, tha substance of which was, that the defendant would elsewhere be deprived of a fair trial. Mr. DUNN then entered upon his defence, and said that he stood before them in what Sir F. Thesiger had called a painful positito. He did not take the shield of weakness of intellect, being in the full possession of his mental faculties, and with all the meats tOr supporting of his own cerence He might have employed some legal advocate to state los case, but, by the oeth which he was ready to take, he felt assured that the jury would come to the conclusion that he had not acted with any fraudulent inttett. It sle eiltl be recollected that he law did not consider a man guilty of perjury if he made an assertion in mistake. While a prisoner in the Fleet, at Miss Burdett Coitus's instance he received a number of letters sinned A. B. C., to each of which he had sent a reply and hal in all cases obtained a rejoinder. He was prepared to prove that these letters had been sent and replied to with the same signature, and all were dated from No. 1, Stratton-street, Piccadilly. What would they, the jury, have done, had they sent letters and received replies, as he had done, with these signa tures acknowledging their letters—would they have at all hesitated to say that they came from the party by whom they professed to be signed? He would produce these letters, and would, by the evidence of his servant, who had been with him during the four years of his im prisonment, show that these signatures were ap parently genuine. He would prove that the sig nature of Angela Burdett Coutts was precisely the same as that which was affixed to the letters which he had received. But what would they think when he told them that the judges who acted with the Noble Lord on the bench bad unanimously discharged him from custody. Those letters had been forwarded through the post office of this metropolis, and was it to be believed that they never reached her hands. He would ask them if Higi Burdett Coitus had received those letters of his, ' whether she had not committed as gross and wanton a fraud upon him as was ever committed against any man? If she did receive these letters, why did she not send some intimation to him of her indisposition to con tinue the connexion? Whichever way they might de cide, one thing was evident, and that was that some trick had been played upon him, either by Miss Burdett Coutts or by some other person, and he thought that if he bad been guilty of the annoyance to her which he was represented to have occasioned, the only thing that could be done, when he offered to retire from her presence for ever, was to return him the letters which he had sent to her. But. this had not bet n done, and the only aim appeared to be to save her pocket from the payment of the sum of this cheque. The defendant then put in the articles of the peace sworn by Miss Burdett Coutts at Harrowgate, in which the circum stances well known to the public were detailed. He then endeavoured to read Mr. Edward Majoribank's letters, several of which had been written during the negotiation fcr the delivery of his letters, but the Lord Chief Justice decided that they were beyond the date of the present action, as they were all dated as far back as the year 1838. The defendant then went on to say that from the hour when his letters were written to the pre sent moment, lie had got no denial whatever that the letters which he had received wt re genuine. Further, did the jury believe that when he had applied to Mr. Majoribanks, stating that he had authority from Miss Burdett Coutts, authorising him to draw a certain sum from the bank, that that gentleman would not either have gone or have written to No. 1, S:ratten street, to inquire whether this authority had been given or not. If then he put in these letters, and showed that the signatures to them were the same as that attached to the articles of peace ' he at least was entitled to a formal assertion, that the letters which he had received were net wt . i't "is,e.Burdett Coutts. Why did she not iv. Ilbeh SD MOW= ? 6r F. TUESIGELL t,i.r.posed with a remark that Miss Burdett Coutts had oa.red to write such a t assertion, but had been prevented by him. Mr. DUNN proceeded to say that there could not be any reason for the retention of this assertion, but some object which w..uld prevent the whole truth from coming br•fore the jury. lie had compared the signatures of the letters which he had received, with the signatures in the Crown Court, and believed them to be identical. Further than that he had evidence to show that the signatures of these letters was precisely the same as that which had been affixed to letters addressed to Lord James Stewart. Lent DENMAN stud that he could not admit such assertions as these, but the facts might be brought out in evidence. Mr. DuNN then went on to say that he had twice been discharged by Lord Denman, and on the last occa sion he had stated, in the presence of his Lord,hip, that. if Miss Coutts would come forward and say that his attentions were oppressive to her, he would at once abstain from any further prosecution of his suit. There was a character about the handwriting which, however it might be twisted about, was still indelible, and that character was evident in the signatures of all the letters which he had received lie had 'addressed a letter to Mr. Majoribanks, to state that he had received a letter from Miss Coutts, authorising him to draw upon the bank for compensation, and this letter, he thought, threw a great colour on the case. After a number of assertions, to the effect, that through the instrumentality of Miss Coutts, he had been driven from his profession, and had been deprived both of property and character, Mr. Dunn read his own communication to Mr. Majori hawks, and stated his belief that not only was the autho rity to draw genuine, but that an understanding kad been come to between that gentleman and Miss Coutts, so that in the event of his drawing for a small sum, it would be allowed to pass ; while if he drew for a large sum he would be pulled up. But he had at the same time written to Miss Coutts herself, and when he acted upon the letter, he put it into Mr. Majoribanks' hands, and asked him whether that was Miss Coatts's hand writing. When he did so, that gentleman put on his spectacles, had held it for some time, and then had called a clerk to state that the writing was not Miss Coutts's. The very circumstance of this hesitation to his mind was a convincing proof that the letter was genuine, and he went away, telling Mr. Majoribanks that he should act upon the authority. Mr. Dunn then read the authority, which is written in verse, desiring him to go to the bank and get compensation for the in carceraion which he had suffered. When he had satin fled himself of the genuineness of this document, he asked himself what the compensation was to which h was entitled, and he eame to the conclusion that one year', income would be an equivalent for lir• sufferir'g he had endured, and fur this he had given notice to M'. Marjoribank that he int-nded to straw upon the bank On his application to Sir Edmund Antrobus he was told that the authority he pesented was no authority at all, but upan it he had made the affidavit for which he wen charged with perjury. When this cause came before Mr. Ju,tiee Pattes,,n he had made a , tatem , mt of the same facts which he kid related to-day. At that titn. Mr. Bodkin had prayed for time for a r. p , y, and four ays hail been given, but at the end of that time no reply had been made. If this letter were not genuine. why did they withhold the satisfaction to which he was entitled, and refuse to give him the assurance that the document was a fabrication. After recapitulating his arguments, Mr. Dunn called Sarah Northfloat. who had acted as his servant during the year 1842, when he was an inmate of the Bench, and who testified to the receipt of letterA, and the postifig of letters addressed to Miss Burdett Coutts, when he was in the Fleet and Queen's Bench prisons. Miss Turner confirmed this evidence. _ _ David Law, an accountant, testified to an interview be tween the defendant and a person of the name of Well., but his evidence was objected to, and it was ultimately postponed. Nathaniel Wells stated that he had had an interview with the defendant, and the object of that interview was to convince him, that from a comparison of the letters received by him, the letters in the possession of the de fendant were not the genuine letters of Miss Coutts, and he had told him ;that he believed they were not her let ters, as he could certify from his knowledge of her hand writing. David Law being recalled, stated that at the interview between Mr. Dunn, Mr. Wells, and himself, the two letters addressed to Lord James Stewart were produced by W e lls ; and, on examination, it was agreed that there was a great likeness between the signatures. Wells had also at that time stated that he would produce those let ters in court. John Smith, postmaster of the Queen's Bench prison, testified that the post-marks on the letters addressed to the defendant were genuine. J. Jonas, clerk of Mr. Clark, of the Central Ciminal Court, merely testified that an indictimmt hal been pie ferred against the defendant. Mr Dunn then endeavoured to put in the letters in evidence, but they were declined, and Sir F. TIIESICER, in reply, said that, never in his life had he felt greater difficulty to repress his feelings than on the present occasion. When he opened this case, be felt it but due to the defendant to suffer the jury to judge whether he was a person of sufficiently sound mind to be responsible for his actions, but the result of this painful inquiry had shown not only ihat he was a person of sound intellect, but also of considerable in genuity, and quite competent to carry out any previ ously devised scheme, and who, relying on the indispo sition of the proseeutrix to undergo a public ordeal, expected to escape with impunity from this trial. With unnecessary cruelty he had put into the hands of Miss Burdett Coutts the writing of her deceased father, and in the course of his observations had charged all the witnesses for the prosecution with deliberate perjury. When he made the affadarit on the 31st Diarch, 1846, that Miss Burdett Coutts was indebted to him in the sum of 100,0004, he had, according to his own account, held it in his possession since December 1844. $o that according to the defendant's own state ment he had remained in prison for fourteen or fifteen months for a debt of 801., which he did not owe, when he had in his possession a power to immediately relieve himself of all pecuniary obligations. Then, again, in the face of all that had passed, when Miss Burdett Coutts had actually sworn articles of peace against him, in order to relieve herself from the persecution to which she was exposed. Mr. Dunn alleged, that acting from feelings of compunction she had sent him this order. Was this at all likely, and still further, was it proble that any lady of position and character should send such a message as that in the doggerel which had been produced in Court to day. Sir Frederick then went through the evidence adduced by the defendant, sht t eg the inconsistencies which it presented, and remarking that Mss Burdett Coutts had never written a letter to him in her life. It was evident from the mode of direct ing and ri-ceiving, the letters, that the whole was a coca te plan to extort money from Miss Burdett Coutts. Then :here was considerable ingenuity also in the way in which the Lffidavit had been framed b) the defendant, IDIS still it did rit.t waive the actual swearing. The defendant has said that his object was not to make Miss Burdett Coutts a bankrupt, but to obtain an equitable considera tion of his claim. But this was evidently a part of the scheme, fi r he made the affidavit that she was indrbtel to him after he had been told by four diff e rent individuals that the suppo se d au th or ity was not in Miss Comits's h a nd-w r i i ng . S t ill further, i t was evident that th e a tt em pt to d rag Mi ss Burdett Coutts before the Court of B an k ru p tc y aros e from the same motive, from the terms of th e writ o f ce rtiorari by which the case had been moved into this Court. Th e Learned Counsel then investigated the assertions of Mr. Dunn respecting the conduct of Mr. Majorihanks to wards him, showing their utter futility, and proving that every information had been given to him, and that he had had a formal assurance at the bank that tine authority was not in Miss Coutts's handwriting; and, still more, in reply to a letter addressed by Mr. Dne n to Miss Coutts, her attorney had written to him on the 20th of March, also formally denying that she eith er did owe, or ever had owed, him anything; and ye t : .eleven days afterwards, he deliberately goes the Court of Bankruptcy and m a kes an Ode l that she is indebted to him in the sum of 100,0001. After again going through the circumstances, Sir F. The.iger put it to the Jury to say whether Mr. I.)4D e had made this affidavit with the belief that there was BO truth in the allegation which it contained. If they could come to such a conclusion, they would, of course, Solt • the defendant, but if not, they would discharge O' duty by finding him guilty. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sumed up at considerabl e length, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sir F. THESIGER moved for judgment on the slit ? ' count, and the Lord Chief Justice, in passing sentence* expressed his opinion, that the papers were fabricated tit the defendant. He then sentenced him to eighte en months imprisonment, and to find secur ity, a t the end that time, to keep the peace for two years, himself to tool., and two securities of 501. each.
