EVENING EDITION. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (THURSDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—Money has been in less demand and more plentiful to-day from the fact of the discount brokers having brought it freely into the market, seeing the rates it obtained, which still continue much the same. Although the bargains in Consols were not extensive, prices improved in consequence of the business done by parties supposed to be in possession of later information from Paris than Eat brought lay the ordinary mail. A correspondence between the Secretary of the Southampton Dock Company and the Directors of the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company has been circu lated to show that the Oriental steamer did not get aground in the Southampton-water on her recent depar ture for Alexandria, a false report having gone abroad to that effect, which seems to have been owing to the circumstance that one of the anchors dropped, and the vessel was thus impeded. The certificate of the pilot and the commander, that the vessel did not touch hare been added, as it was important to remove a false im pression, from which it might be supposed that the Southampton harbour would not always hold vessels of the largest class. The Indian papers of the last arrival contain an ac count of a meeting of the subscribers to the New Ben gal Steam Fund, held on the 9th of September. The Committee reported the regular receipt by each over land mail of communications from Mr. Curtis and Captain Barber on the subject of the London Com pany, and also the receipt of communications from Messrs. Wilcox and Anderson, agents of the London Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, informing them of their intention to commence immediately with the communication on the Mediterranean side, by means of powerlul vessels between England and Alexandria, and also of establishing similar vessels between Cal cutta and Suez. if supported by the Indian public. The balance-sheet was produced, and showed 23,786.10.8 rupees to the credit of the Company. After the report had been carried, a debateable matter arose v,.h'eh is the connexion between the Indian and the London Company. A resolution had been moved to express the great satisfaction of the meeting at the communications of Mr. Curtis, and to thank him for his perseverance in endeavouring to senre the accom plishment of steam communication between England and India. At die same time the resolution was to express entire confidence in Mr. Curtis and the Board of Directors in London, hoping shortly to be advised of the complete establishment of their Company on the basis of the resolutions of the -28th of May, and the Committee were requested to exert themselves to obtain Shareholders in that Company. This resolu tion was carried, it seems, almost unanimously ; but a speech made by Mr. Turton against it appears to have excited much attention. He defended the course adopted by the party well known as the " Precur sors," saying that he would not consent to have any thing to do with spending Indian subscriptions on the other side of Alexandria till the impracticability of having steamers on the Indian side was proved. He objected to the sentiment implied in the resolution, that the London Board were acting in accordance with the wishes of the Bengal Presidency, and while he admitted that he had confidence in their integrity, said he had none in their judgment. Discussions respecting the acts of the London Com pany arc frequent in the Indian papers, and it is said that tl era is an increasing desire for commencing the line of communication on the Indian side, where there are yet no steamers at all. The iinorovements in the Las igation of the Mediterranean have rendered preva lent the notion, that it would be advisable to relinquish that part of the line, and by saving the expense which it could require, expedite the navigation of the rest. The whole debate on this subject seems to rest on the belief that the London Company naturally has a predi lection for the Mediterranean line, and would begin with that part of the navigation, and it is considered by those who especially advocate Indian interests, that the London Company ought to have expressly shown the parties in India that they did not intend to begin with the Mediterranean, it indeed such was their design. SL' N.—Whew it was found this afternoon that no no tice appeared at the Bank of England, as was expected, till. funds rallied, and closed better, Consols at 89i for Money, and 89i, buyers, for Account. Exchequer Bills at par ; India Bonds at 13s. discount ; the New Three-and-a-Hall per Cents. at 96i, and the Three per Cents. at 89k. The Foreign Securities rallied a trifle this afternoon.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chroni,./e.) We !dew that the French Government has been strangly ureA by that of Austria to exert all its influ ence with Mehemet Ali to induce him to offer terms of submission to the Sultan, on the condition of his being allowed to retain the possession of Egypt. There is reason to believe that the French Government will comply with the request. As there can be no doubt that the Four Powers will be equally ready to use their iidluence with the Sultan, to induce him to accept the submission of the Pasha and continue him in the pos session of Eeypt, if the French Government honestly exerts its iinluence, we can have little doubt of the sub mission of the Pacha, in which case the whole question will at once be brought to an end. (From the Times.) In publishing the communication relating to Lord Palinerston's policy, which appeared in the Times of • Wednesday, we stated that our own views differed in more than one point from those of the writer ; but it is a duty we owe to our Correspondent t o re b ut t h e ex travagant construction which has been put on that ar ticle by the morning organ of the Foreign Secretary. Every one of the statements which " cannot possibly be true " rests exclusively upon the assertion of a weekly paper well known for its unflinching adherence to the Go v, rneierit end its close relations with several leaders of the Whig party. On the authority of that journal those statements were pointed out to the notice of oer readers, with the obeervatior, that " if we had ventured t e , ; m i le teeve , jugs reinerke, ;ve should of course have beet, accused of a base end ridiculous pervers:on nt the tra ;" but, nutwiehstaeding tbi; distinct roherence to that weekly journal as the source of our in formation, ,his very accusation of a ridiculous perversion of the truth is hurled'aeainst our correspondent by the The writer of the communication in the 'nines has not the absurd pretension of " having; been present at the Cabinet Councils ;" he lays claim no knowledge of the when and the where," not contained iii the plain paragraphs of the Court Circular, • nor to any acquaintance with the particular views enter taitied by the different members of the Cabinet beyond that which may he derived or inferred from the language of our Sunday Contemporary, who at once conveys, reasons on, and deplores the facts which we have re peated. ited The following passages f rom t h e p aper i n ques tion will settle the dispute as far as we are concerned ; arid we leave the daily and the weekly organs of the Government to settle between themselves the true state of the erase : We acquit the Government generally of any partici palm' in the ill-feelings and untracteble spirit which we hive in view. The majority of the Ministry must, from their opinions and their characters, he averse from war ; but the y are in a false recurity, believing it as impossible as they believe it mad and calamitous. As far as the technical part of diplomacy is concerned, Lord Palmerston, has acquitted himself with consummate address ; but has he not gut overheated in the controversy ? Have not per sonal irritations passed into national animosities, or, at least, is not what is due to nations lost sight of in the de sire to triumph over persons ? " Much has been done that cannot be undone ; a bad pre cedent has been establi , :hed by those most bound to guard at,zainst it, a nt i t h e alliance with France has received a para l)zi.g wound ; but still much mischief remains to be pre vonted, and can and will be prevented, if the Government act, not in obedience to the self-will and obstinacy of a part, but according to its dispositions as a w h o l e ; as i ts disposition s may be emboldned to expression and col lected by its chief. Departments hav e been too much in sulated, too indepe n d ent, and have had too much their d precisely own way, and too m uc h power in this Ministry ; we are in th e cr i t i cal passage where c leguid i: anteacc of is department, however cleverly con the du too narrow for broad national object s , and where t he conduc t of the department should be merged in that of the chief of the Administration. There is danger whewnehviecti; i a t be longs. gets above the Government to longs. We have confidence in Lord Melbourne, if Lord Nlelhourne will hut have confidence in himself arid the part not of a Minister , bu t of the Prime alinister act (From the Morning Advertiser.) We are delighted to perceive, from an advertisement in another part of this Journal , that the place of A lder. man Harmer, as the representative of_ltm n o Falerrinagdont Without, is likely to be filled up by a get equally lib era l sen ti m ents, and of equal devotion to business. whether public or private. We mean Sir James Duke, M.P., who has served the office of Sheriff, aril who is in every respect thoroughly qualified for the im portant ward. o f t hi s most popu l ous and ward. The show of hands in his favour yesterday was "rly 41) to 1, and the honourable list of names ap pended to the requisition give us assurance that his triumph is beyond the possibility of doubt. His oppo nent, Mr. Butterworth, does not, we believe, covet the station cut out for hien by his zealous but injudicious friends ; and, as the election has nothing to do with political sentiments and Sir J a m es h as pl e d ge d hi mse lf to become an inhabitant of the ward, we trust that it will he unanimous in its decision,and save both candidates from incurring any unnecessary and needless expense. FROM T; _E DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) The Scotch Tories have sustained a defeat at the moment they were prepari:ig to celebrate a victory. The election of Lord Hector of the University of letter, it is impossible to deny that Mr. Butt has established his whole case, and convicted Mr. Shaw of having grossly misrepresented the feelings of the Protestants of Ireland, upon a question in which their interests and feelings were deeply engaged. NVe are willing to ascribe this misrepresentation to error in judgment, though such an error must have been the effect of a very extraord.oary and very disrespectful seclusion from the Protestant body in Ireland, the very elect of whom, in Protestantism and rank, have sent the Right Honourable Gentleman to Parliament to represent them, and to speak their sentiments ; one important preliminary to the faithful discharge of which duty must be to know accurately the sentiments of those for whom a representative is to speak. The Protestants of Ireland can themselves best judge whether they were truly described by Mr. Shaw in the account given of them to Lord Lyndhurst (according to his Lordship's own statement, which is in deed but a repetition of Mr. Butt's) ; but if Mr. Shaw has misrepresented and rnisdesoribed them, though perhaps in error, as innocent as any error can be, which involves an ignorance of one's constituents so completely, he is clearly not a fit member for the Uni versity of Dublin, and we trust that his own good sense and candour will prevent his ever re viving the recollection of his unhappy error, and of the late scandalous dispute, for such it must be con fessed to be, by ever again obtruding his claims upon that body. Should he act differently from what we an ticipate, however, the electors must be reminded of the real question at issue. It is this, whether the so-called representatives of Irish Protestants are hereafter. as heretofore, to dismiss all recollection of their constitu ents, and to break all connection with them upon cross ing St. George's Channel, regarding themselves as ' merely so many votes at the disposal of whatever party shall call itself Conservative, though its conduct never so ill support the title. (From the Courier.) Letters from Naples seem co intimate that the sul phur dispute is not yet satisfactorily adjusted. The Chief Commissioner appointed by the kin g of Naples to in quire jointly with the British Commissioners into the system complained of, had died rather suddenly, and it was said that the English Government insisted upon the abolition of the export duty now levied, as well as upon the discontinuance of the monopoly. In the meantime, (according to these letters) the disposition of the Court of Naples towards a French alliance had become so apparent, that it is said one of the ' (Treat Powers had made a formal demand, through its Ambassador, of the intentions of the King, in the event of war, but only re ceived for answer the vague declaration, that he would do what he might consider most to the advantage and safety of his people. Lord Ashburton has taken a mansion at Angle sey, to superintend the completion of his Lordship's villa at Stoke Bay. REGISTER OF LETTERS CONTAINING MONEY. —ln consequence of the numerous letters contain ing money which have lately been stolen in passing through the Post-office, it has been resolved by the Post-office au thorities to have a register for such letters, and persona sending remittances, who do not nisi' to make use cf money order, may, on payment of a certain fe?, have their letters enclosing money entered in the register, by whin!: means it will be almost impossible to secrete any letter without immediate detection. The clerks must, of course, have a great deal more trouble with these letters than the others ; but the fee, it is expected, will amply repay all the additional labour. COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL WAY. —A train which left Slough a few mornings since, at ten o'clock, arrived at the Paddington terminus a few mi nutes before its time ; and before an engine, which had just previously arrived, was cleared off the same line, a concussion took place, which, had not the up-train been proceeding slowly, would probably have been attended with very serious consequences. As it was, however, a young lady had her lip cut, and several other passengers wore seriously bruised, amongst whom was Mr. Salmon, one of the gentlemen of the Chapel Royal, who was severely bruised on the arm. SINGULAR DELUSION AND SUDDEN DEATH. —On Wednesday morning, about seven o'clock, a young man, fashionably dressed, came running into the Plough public-house, in Carey-street, Lincoln's bin-fields, and claimed the landlord's protection against three men who, he said, were pursuing him. The landlord, seeing the excited state of the young man's mind, told him to go up stairs, when be went into the street, and found no one there but the brewers letting down the beer. The young man still persisted in maintaining that he was pursued by three men, and stated that one was the Duke of Rich naond's son, and one the Marquis of Waterford. After some persuasion on the part of the landlord, the man was put to bed ; and Mr. Dunn, a surgeon, was sent for, who advised him to be kept quiet. In a few minutes after he had been undressed he called for some brandy-and-water, and told the landlord to send for his father, who was Mr. Burke, a solicitor, in New-inn. The father immediately attended, but only a few seconds before his unfortunate son had expired. No one could give any reason for the sudden change in this young man's mind, who seems to be very much respected in the neighbourhood. He was only twenty-three years of age. STAMFORD BULL-RUYNING.—Friday lastwas the day on which the above sport has for a number of years been carried on to the great annoyance of the inhabitants of the town ; but we arc happy to inform our readers that, in consequence of the principal in habitants pledging themselves personally to assist in suppressing the barbarous practice, no attempt was made to introduce a hull, except that about six o'clock in the evening some ruffians (or, as they are commonly called, bullards), made an attempt to introduce one which had been left in a field at the fair as incapable to i travel ; but owing to the exertions and vigilance of the police, the animal was rescued and taken to the hotel, and there safely deposited for the night. An attempt was also made to obtain possession of a bull belonging to Mr. Roberts, farmer ; but fortunately, before they _hut eff ecte d their purr.ose, and while iii the act of breaking open the lock under which the animal was r secured, two of the leaders were taken into custody, and on t h e foll ow i ng d ay (Saturday) were taken before the Nlaniat" , and e ac h fined and adjudged to p a y 143.

The expense attending this foreign to 1.50/., and last year that amougnnt was in 1838 amounted nearly doubled, to t h e great hardship of many individ u 1a a unable to sustain the burden. ESPARTEHO IN MADRID.— Th e fou . owing phrase has, been struek on severalwalls • • in the • capital : Duque de Nada, Que to suceda lo de Quesada." " Duke of Nothing, May you have what Quesada had." Quesada, - Captain . General of Madrid, was assassinated in 1536, in open day, and his body torn to pieces. ' Glasgow has been, of late years, a political struggle ; and has been referred to as an event of considerable I :mportance, as indicative of the state of political feeling 1 n the University, from which, as the youth of the pre sent will be the men of the future age, the political cha racter of that age may, with something like probability be predicted. If there be any truth in this mode of obtain ing an insight into the future, there is good reason for the chagrin and mortification which the Tories feel, and have not the prudenee to conceal, on the result of the election of Lord Rector, which took place on Monday. The candidates were the Marquis of Breadalbane on the part of the Whigs, and the Duke of Wellington and Sir Astley Cooper (the latter being brought forward by the medical students) on the part of the? Tories. The num bers at the close were— For the Marquis of Breadalbane Sir Astley Cooper Duke of Wellington lO5 The Marquis of Breadalbane having a majority in all the " nations ;" and a majority of 145 over the Duke of Wellinzton, and of 139 over Sir A. Cooper. The " Peel Club," as a political assemblage of juvenile Tories in the Glasgow University has dubbed itself, according the Glasgow Courier (a Tory Journal), "is now ex tinguished." This signal defeat of Toryism, where it was supposed to have acquired the ascendancy principally by means of this same " Peel Club," which was formed in commemoration of Sir Robert Peel's election, is attributed by the Tory Journal we have quoted, to " the stupid vanity of the Peel Club ;" but for which " Sir Astley Cooper," we are assured, " would have been elected"—a confutation of which assertion is found in the fact that the Marquis of Breadalbane's majority was greater by thirty-four votes than the gross amount polled by both the candi dates opposed to him. So much for the senseless assertion with which the 'ror:es seek consolation under their defeat, that " the Marquis of Breadalbane owes his election entirely to the division among the Con servative party." The Conservative party in the University was, it is true, divided ' ; and in this the sons but imitated their fathers : the boys have become infected with the " fatal schism' which has caused weakness, and will occasion defeats of a more serious kind among Conservatives of larger vowth. " The election," observes the Glasgow Courier, " Will be regarded by the Whigs as a triumph." To be sin** it will. Though in itself of no immediate importance— it is an indication of the state of feeling possessed by the "rising spirits of the age ;" and is certainly as legitimate a source of " triumph" to the Whigs, as an opposite result, in the election of Sir R. Peel, afforded to the Tories, who were frantic in their joy on that occasion. (From the Standard.) We have watched with great pain the progress of the dispute among the Protestant Journals of Ireland on the subject of the charge brought by Professor Butt against Mr. Recorder Shaw, and we welcome with corresponding feelings of gratification the prospect of a termination to the controversy. We should, however, belie our feelings, if in saying that the dis pute has been painful to us on account of the bitter ness, unhappily, though perhaps naturally, infused into it, we did not acknowledge that it was im possible for Mr. Butt to avoid acting the truly noble part which he has acted—a part in which it is difficult to say which most predominates, a high spirited devotion of self, or a care for the feelings of others, entitled to respect, almost approaching to timidity. After the perusal of Lord Lyndhurst's ME SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20. 18-10 LAW INTEL,:•IGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 19. TUBB V. BIGGS. The MASTER of the Itou,s, in giving iudgm,mt, said he did not think the proceedings of a Cc`urt of Law . were altogether s o ill calculated for the ti of some of the questions between the parties. NeNerthelcss there could be no doubt that some of the l:uestions would be better tried in Equity than at La.v. If, therefore, proper terms could be fixed on, he would con tinue the injunction. Then came the question Nhat terms ought to be required. The object was to have such security from the plaintiff as the defendant was entitled to. There was strong prima facie evidence that the whole of the balance claimed by the defendant, 2,240/., was due. The defendant had already secu rity for 1,500/., and if the plaintiff paid the balance, beyond the value of the property secured, into Court, the injunction should bo contained. The case lasted until the rising of the Court. Mo tions will be continued :his day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 19. -- V. YOLAND. In this action, against a lady of property for board and lodging, Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL `obtained a rule absolute to enter a verdict for the plaintiff in the amount claimed. The facts did not fully appear on this hearing. PIERCE V. ANDREWS. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL, in answer to a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why he did not proceed with his action, said that the action, which was upon the warranty of a horse, was given up to the plaintiff, who had paid his attorney's costs, because the defendant was a person from whom he could not expect to recover if he obtained a verdict, and he must be content to lose both horse and money.—(A laugh.) TYRRELL V. WOOLLEY AND ROTHWELL. Mr. KELLY showed cause against the rule for a new trial obtained by Sergeants Talfourd and Channel in this case, which was an action against the Secretaries of the Union Benefit Society. The plaintiff (a school master) being a member, and having met with an accident, which disabled him from attending per fectly to his business, came to an agreement with the Society in 1825, that, on condition of receiving is. a week from that institution for the remainder of his 1;f0, he should forego nll other claims upon the funds on his ,'awn account, or for the benefit of his wife, The Societe having failed to fulfil the condition, this action was bronght against the defendants individually, they having signed the engagement with the plaintiff on the part o the Society, of which they were the active offi cers—that is, the Secretaries and Stewards. The ver dict was for the plaintiff, and the rule for a nonsuit was obtained, on the ground that the defendants were not liable individually, inasmuch as they dissented from the agreement, although, as officers, they signed on behalf of the Company. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Crowther, Mr. K t .!ly, and Mr. Martin were heard at length, when the case was adjourned till to-morrow (this day). prisoner, obtained his snuff-box from him, and gave him into custody.—Verdict—Guilty. THE HOUSELESS POOR. The above amount is likewise invested in the Bank of England, in the names of your trustees the late Sir J. W. Lubbock, Bart., James Gibson, and C. W. Hick s, Esqrs." Upon the motion of Mr. DUNCAN CAMPBELL, seaonded by Mr. Hicss, the report was read and unani mously agreed to. Cabouchere, of the house of Williams and Co., of Birehin-lane, banker, was unanimously elected trea surer, in the room of Sir John W. Lubbock, and trustee for the Society's fund, and for Mr. Prince Iloare's legacy. A fourth trustee was unanimously appointed in the person of Alderman and Sheriff Gibbs, of whose abilities and zeal the meeting appeared to be perfectly aware. Thanks were then most cordially voted to the Com mute for the ener g y and benevolence of their exertions. Mr. DUNCAN CAMPBELL (the business havin g been concluded) stated that after twenty year's service on the Committee, be found it necessary, on account of ill to resign. He accordingly begged leave to withdraw, being wholly incapable of taking an active part in the bus.'less of the Institution.

BODY FOUND IN THE THAMES.-011 Tuesday evening an inquest was taken before Mr. Payne, at the Globe, York -street, St. Saviour's, Southwark, on th e body of a gentlemanly dressed man, name unknown, which was found floating in the Thames on the morning- of Sunday last. Police constable John Ore, 104 M, deposed that at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning last he was on London-bridge, and saw about fifty yards horn the shore the body of a man in the water, and two men assisting him into the boat. On the boat getting to the stairs he went down to the men and searched the body of the deceased. He was dressed in a full suit of mourning, and was about five feet six inches high, of fair cureplexion, and light brown hair. His age appeared to be about forty. On search ing the pockets of the deceased he found a silver thimble, a knife, a comb, one shilling, two half-pence, and a farthing. A duplicate for a waistcoat was also found, pledged at Mr. Cole's, a pawnbroker, in the Waterloo-road, for 2s. 6d., in the name of John Neale, Robert street. The deceased's dress appeared to be good. He had made inquiries at several places, but had not been able to trace the deceased. A shell was procured, and the deceased was removed to Mr. Down's, the parochial undertaker, of Guildford-street. By the Coroner—The deceased did not appear to have been in the water above seven hours. On going to the pawnbroker's I found they had some slight knowledge of his having pawned the waistcoat oil the Saturday evening previous. I think the deceased might have walked down the steps into the water. There was the mark of a blow en the nose. The Coroner then directed that the appear ance of the deceased should be advertised, and adjourned the inquiry for a week. On Wednesday Robert Dillon Browne, Esq., M. P , for Mayo, arrived in this town. The Hon. Gen tlemen stopped at Daly's hotel to change horses, and on entering the coffee room met Charles Blake, Esq , senior, whom he accosted and offered to shake hands with, but which Mr. Blake disilainfully refused. Shortly after they again met in the streets, and Mr. Brown coming close to Mr Blake inquired why he refused his hand ? Neither Mr. Blake's reply nor Mr Brown's retort was heard by the near est bystanders, but Mr. 131,1te was observed to raise his hand, in which he hell a stick, as if with intent to strike Mr. Browne, who, either in the effirt to ward off the blow, or with design, 'pled Mr. Blake's nose. The circumstances having been repotted to the Magistrates pre.iding at the Petty Ses sions, they adjourned the Court, and, accompanied by the l' polic e , came down to town. ornkins Brew, Esq., put both parties under arrest. His Grace the Archbishop, the Very Rev. Doctor Kirwan, and several gentlemen, en deavoured to procure an explanation, but without effect. Mr. Browne was bound to keep the peace; but Mr. Blake refused to enter securities, alleging he was not the aggres sor, and Mr. Brew took him away into custody. Shortly after Mr. Browne left for Ballinasloe, amidst the cheering of the persons whom the circumstance had collected about the hotel. We understand Mr. Browne expressed his willingness to make any apology, if Mr. Blake would on his honour declare he did not intend to strike him before he (Mr. Browne) raised his hand.-7Tuam Herald.

Yesterday a general meeting of the subscribers of the Great Institution, appointed for the purpose of affording nicht!y shelter to the houseless poor, and temporary re lief to the destitute, took place at the London Tavern. Alderman and Sheriff Gibbs in the Chair. The Citarstsi aN having stated that the subscribers were called for the purpose of electing a Treasurer in the room of the late Sir John Lubbock, and for other ob jects, called upon the Secretary to read the Report. The Report it as follows : " NIGHTLY SHELTER TO THE HOUSELESS POOR. Your Committee appointed to conduct ti.e above named charity, begs respectfully to submit the following Report : " Having from time to time made yearly reports of the proceedings, the Committee have now to present a statement of the funds intrusted to their care, and acknowledge with thankfulness the liberality evinced in seasons of distress, and trust that the object the Society had in view at its formation, has been carried satisfac torily into effect, and that much good has resulted. " They submit to the subscribers the rules and regu lations, by which this charity has been governed." Here follows the list, of which this is the substance, and which shows the advantages which poor helpless creatures derive from the institution. The charity af fords nightly shelter and sustenance to the destitute and houseless during severe winter seasons ; the opening and closing to be chiefly guided by the occasional suspension of out-door work, on account of the rigorous state of the weather. The accommodation for sleeping consists of clean straw, and the food, of half a pound of bread on admission at night, and half a pound on leaving the asylum in tile morning. The asylum is properly heated, ventilated, and lighted, and so arranged as to keep the male and female bands entirely separate. No recom mendation but distress necessary. The other regula tions refer to the examination of applicants for admis sion, and detail.:, which prove that the Committee have been most assiduously employed in this great work of charity. The Report then proceeds :--" The lamented death of our late honourable treasurer, Sir J. W . Lubbock, calls for the appointment of a successor. Hence your Committee are induced to solicit from you the appoint ment of a gentleman to succeed to that office, and they recommend to your approbation and election Mr. John Labouchere. " The following is a brief statement of Subscriptions received by this Society since the last public meeting of the Subscribers, together with the number of in mates admitted, nightly lodgings afforded, and the total number of meals and rations distributed.

NEWTON AND WIFE V. lIARLAND AND OTHERS. I❑ this action, which was brought against the Sheriff's officers for assault and battery, in enforcing an eject ment, there was much,.aggravation in the circum stances. The case has been three times tried, with ver dicts for the plaintiff (a bsrrister), viho now applied in persnn, to have an alteration in the record of the ver dict (made since the original entry) rectified. The applicatio❑ was refused. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19. LANE V. WEDLAK. This was an action or trespass by a tenant against her landlord, which was tried before Mr. Justice Williains at the late Monmouth Assizes, when a verdict was found fur the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW showed cause against a rule nisi for a new trial, which had been obtained by Mr. Richards. The plaintiff's husband was tenant of an inn, and a piece of garden ground belonging to the defendants. He wanted the ground for building purposes, and employed masons, who broke down the wall, and the garden was spoiled. The tenancy was alleged to be from year to year ; but at the trial his Lordship said he did not think there was any evidence of that fact to go to the Jury. Mr. Richards refrained from calling evidence upon such an intimation, but his Lordship afterwards left the question to the Jury.—Rule made absolute. COURT OF EXCISE. IMPORTANT TO AUCTIONEERIL-Mr. Bromley, an auctioneer, attended by his solicitor, Mr. Drummond, of Croydon, appeared in support of his " complaint," for a remission of the auction duty on property, the sale of which bad gone off. It appeared from Mr. Drummond's statement, that the property in question, (a house in Wapping) was put up for sale on the Ist of March last, and sold to a per. son to whom the abstract of title was shortly afterwards delivered. A question, however, arose between the purchaser and vendor, as to whether the latter was in a condition to give a proper deed of conveyance of the property ; and, in the meantime, the house was burned down. This, of course, did not enhance the purchaser's opinion of the property, Mr. Drummond ob,:erved, and it turned out chat the ;Tudor had no menns of compel• ling him to complete his purchase. These were the short facts of the case. IMr. STEPHENSON ssid, perhaps Mr. Drummond wus not ;Aware that he had yet stated a single fact. Theo were merely circumstances with which they (the Com missioners), had nothing to do. Evidence must first be given of certain property having been advertised to be sold, and then the title must be produced. Mr. Drummond said it was impossible to produce the title at present, but he thought that the Act of Parliament gave them an alternative for the inability to convey. Mr. Mayhew said the Act stated distinctly that if the person had " no right or title to dispose of the property" then the duty might be remitted. Mr. STEI'IIENI“)ti said no evidence of this nature had been given, and therefore the case must be dis missed.—Complaint dismissed accordingly. Mr. Rutherford, a solicitor, attended on behalf of Mr. Parker, an auctioneer, to obtain relief under cir cumstances somewhat similar. Mr. STEPHENSON asked whether Mr. Parker was in attendance himself ? Mr. Rutherford said he was not ; but he had called at his (Mr. Rutherford's) office three days ago, and handed him over the necessary papers, and instructed him to attend before the Commissioners to support his application. Mr. STEPHENSON said the Commissioners could not entertain the case in the absence of the complainant, and it was therefore dismisscd. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced on Thursday before Mr. Waleshy and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, W estminster. The calendar contained the names of twenty-nine prisoners, twenty of whom were charged felony. CONVICTION felony. CONVICTION OF STANLEY, TILE AMERICAN MEDI CAL STUDENT.—Marcus Cicero Stanley, aged 22, a well-dressed person, was convicted for stealing two sovereigns and two shillings, the mone}s of Mr. George Catlin. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, and was defended by Mr. C. Phillips. The prosecutor repeated the statement he made be fore the Magistrate at Marlborough-street, a few days ago, which appeared in The Sun. The policeman having given evidence of the detec tion of the prisoner, Mr. Phillips appealed to the Jury, reviewed the evi dence, and urged the p ro b a bili ty o f t h e p r i soner ' s d e - Ifence, contending that one important feature in the I case was, that he was not tempted to commit any offence, as he had about 31. 10e. of Ilia own in hi.; pocket when apprehended. The CHAIRMAN summed up, and The Jury, after consulting together, returned a verdict of Guilty, the Foreman adding that they strongly re commended him to mercy. The CHAIRMAN asked upon what ground ? The Foreman replied on account of his youth and inexperience, and his previous good character. The CHAIRMAN said there had been no evidence given of his character, and he thought the prisoner could not be said to be young and inexperienced at 22 years of age. Mr. Catlin, in answer to the Court, observed that the prisoner resided in Golder.-square, and he told him that it was his intention to go to Paris to finish his medical education. The CHAIRMAN—Is he a medical student ? Mr. Catlin replied in the affirmative, and added that he was not aware that the prisoner had been walking the metropolitan hospitals. The prisoner hei e remarked that he put Mr Catlin's two guineas in a pocket separate from his own money, and that when he was accosted by the policeman, he called him an " impertinent feller, and threatened to mash him mouth," but when he said he was a peace officer, '6 me drop my arms directly." The other money was not taken from him until he arrived at the station house, lie did not care for punishment, but for his integrity to be assailed was worse than being trans ported or going to the devil. Ho did not like his cha racter to be branded as a felon and his family disgraced. The prisoner spoke in a regular siag-song Yaill,:ee tone. The CHAERNIAN said that after a tong and painful in vestigation the Jury had found him guilty,• and the Court were of opinion that there was no extenuating circumstance in his favour. However, the Jury had thought proper to recommend him to mercy, and the sentence of the Court was that he he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months in the House of Correction, six weeks of the term solitary. The prisoner was then removed. THE ROBBERY OF CAPT. HARVEY TUCKETT.—John Nolen, aged 19, was indicted for stealing from the per son of Captain Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett, a gold snuff-box, value 51., his property. Captain Tuckett was proceeding with a friend along Cockspur-street, when he was informed that his pocket had been picked, and his attention was directed to the prisoner, who was running away as fast as his legs would carry him. The Captain pursued and overtook the The CdAIRNIAN said he believed the prisoner had come to the length of his tether, and that he could not remain in this country any longer. Prisoner (imploringly)--Oh,giv e me one more chancc, Sir. The CHAIRMAN—WeII, you speak v er3. candidly, but I see you have already bad five warnings, and this makes your sixth. Mr. Phillips remarked that it was the first time the prisoner had been tried. The CHAIRMAN—Yes ; but he has been five times summarily convicted. However, as he has asked for another chance in so candid a manner, the Court will not transport him this time. The Prisoner—Thank you, Sir. The CHAIRMAN then cautioned the prisoner, and sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Phillips, to the prisoner —Now mind, the next time you appear in any Court, as sure as you are alive you will be transported. Ths prisoner turned round and left the Court laughing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-110 USE. Harrison and Pryke, the two men who were seve ral days ago charged with having appropriated a letter of credit for 501. 7s. 9d., which was enclosed in a letter, addressed to a gentleman of the name of Har rison, after having forged the name of the owner to it, was brought up for final examination. A clerk from the office of Messrs. Bush and Mas ters, solicitors to the Committee of Bankers, for pro tection against felony and fraud, attended, and said that the bankers had determined to prosecute. It will be recol'ected that all the money, with the exception of a few pounds, was delivered to Peak, the Post-office officer, when he went to the house of Har rison, in Lambeth, by that person and his wife, who seemed to regret deeply that they had meddled with the contents of the letter. The solicitors to the Committee of Bankers, upon the first examination, allowed the wife of Harrison to be discharged, on account of her children, although she was involved in the offence, and there was a strong feeling manifested towards the male prisoners on account of the extent of the temptation to which they had been subjected. It was indeed sup posed, and so :heir solicitor stated yesterday, that they would be discharged. The bankers, however, found it necessary to prosecute, even in this case, as they con sider it indispensable in cases of forgery to show that. the offence admits of no alternative. There was no additional evidence, sad the deposi tions having been read over, The LORD MAYOR said that he had no alternative but to commit. The two men were then committed ; Pryke for felo niously forging, disposing, and putting away as true, a false acquittance or receipt, signed W. Geore Harri :on, for 501. 7s. 9d., with intent to defraud Matthias Attwod and other s ; an d Harrison for ;'eloniously aid ing ting P r yk e i n camm i t ti ng t h e felony and forgery. : nd ~set Isaac Cliff, alias Isi:fic frey Clift, was bro ug h t up Godfrey, alias I s aac God g:7 re-examination upon sus picion of having committed a forge 7. Mr. Dimsdale, saddler and harness-make'." stated that the prisoner applied to him for two sets of har ness, ant gave him a bill for 241. 10s., which purporteJ to be accepted by a person named Cornish. One se: of harness was sent home, but witness having heard a very bad character of the prisoner, did not part with the other set. The bill when due was not paid, and witness was informed that Cornish denied that he had accepted it. Upon further inquiry, witness found that he had got into the hands of a regular nest of swindlers. The prisoner said that the bill was a regular legal instrument, and accepted by Mr. Cornish, whom he be lieved to be a person living on his means, and that the complainant satisfied himself about it before he took it The LORD NIAYOR—IS Mr. Cornish here ?—The prisoner said that he did not see the gentleman, nor had he seen or heard from him since the bill became due. The LORD AIAYOR (to the prisoner)—Pray who are you ? The prisoner —I go about selling slays, and linen, and shoes, to market towns, and I keep a shop in High Wycombe. Mr. Harmer, a solicitor, of High Wycombe, said that a client of his bad let a house in that place to the prisoner, and was so oonvineed of the mode of dealing practised by the man, that all he wished was to be once more put in possession of his house. The prisoner al tored his 010108 by transposing them to suit his pnr posec. sad no doubt several persons would have come forwani it the first charge had been publicly stated. An Ins i i•ctur of the C division of Metropolitan Po lice stated, upod being called upon, that be had caused inquiry to be made n the neighbourhood of Feather stone-street, St. Luke's, where the prisoner was known, as to the man's character, atO been informed it was a very bad one. The prisoner ha.l upon one occasion charged a person with having robbed Lim, and witness, who investigated the case, was convinced th,7 l . 00 r"b - I !wry at all t oo k pl ace . iir. Jones, from the office of Mr. liosson the solici tor, appeared fur the prisoner, and submitted that there was no pretence for the charge of forgery, the bill, whatever might be the value of it, having been bona tide ; accepted. The Linty MA yon ordered that the prisoner should be brought up again on Monday next. rue prisoner, for whom a Sheriffs' officer was wait ing, was then remanded. PARIS POLICE.

"Vo tAu al lf ANTEAU."---ThiS description of robbery merits a particular classification in the innumerablo ca tegory of Parisian schemes for depredation on the pub lic. The performer in this trick is usually a young man, of good address and fashionable exterior, and his scene of action is generally in the aristocratic quarters of the city where routs and grand balls are common, and at the doors of the principal theatres. His plan of ope ration is, wh en carriages are arriving in the greatest number, and the munici p al gua rds fi nd it di ffi cul t to keep them in their proper rank, to approach as near as possible to the door, and lend an attentive ear to the orders given by th e parties descending from their vehicles to their respective coachmen. If the order is given to return in three or four hours, that coach is of no use to the dexterous thief ; hut the moment it is s;gmfied to one of the charioteers that he is to wait, as the master or mistress will be ready in an hour or two to proceed to some other parte, that coach is made the object of his depredations.

The subject of Church-rates has at length become one of the most engrossing themes of conversation in the borough cif Dover. The Anti-Church-rate party having made a bold and determined stand against the paying any more of these taxes upon conscience, has induced many who had hitherto been staunch advocates for these imposts, to refuse to pay any more Church rates, at least till the Anti-Cburch-rate party pay up their arrears. The last made rate, therefore, is at present uncollected, and will no doubt remain so until the case has been tried in the Ecclesiastical Court. Mr. Pal frey, whose case has been selected from amongst the rest for this purpose, was consequently summoned to appear before the Dover Petty Sessions on Wednesday last, to show cause why he refused to pay the rates. The Mayor, who was well aware that Mr. P. would raise a long list of objections against the rates, endea voured to cut the proceedings as short as possible by asking that gentleman if he disputed the legality of the rate ; i n n theecause if he did so th at C ourt could not adju dicate i matter. Mr. Palfrey said be came there to answer to the summons, to show cause why he refused to pay the rates, lie had a great many " why's," which he was willing to show to the best of his ability. Mayor--But do you object to the legality of the rates ? Mr. Palfrey—That, Sir, I do not conceive to be a proper question. I was summoned here to show cause why I refused to pay the rates. It is your province, I presume, to judge whether I raise my objections on the ground of illegality. Mayor—But we don't want to sit here all day hearing your objections : if you state to the Court that you object to the rates on the ground of illegality, you will save us much time and trouble. Mr. Palfrey—l consider that this Court is -bound to hear my objections ; and when I have given them, it will be for you to judge of their nature. Mayor—Well, proceed then. Mr. Palfrey—l n the first place, the two church wardens and Mr. Proctor, the 'Vestry-clerk's clerk, came to my house on the 4th instant, and demanded of me the sum of 3/. 16s. 14d., for six Church -rates, which I refused to pay. They then immediately went and took out a summons for me, to appear before you to-day, to show cause why I refused to pay three of these rates. Now, are these gentlemen justified in coming to demand 31. 16s. lid. and then to take out a summons for a part payment of the same Mayor—l will answer your question when you have answered mine. Mr. Palfrey—Then you refuse to answer me on this point ? Mayor —I do. Mr. Palfrey—Well, I contend that they have acted illegally in coining and demanding of the one sum, and then to summon me for another sum, Mr. Gravenor, Vestry-clerk—Th e three former rates are pending against Mr. Palfrey in the Ecclesiastical Court. We could therefore summon Mr. Palfrey for only the three latter rates. Mr. Palfrey—Then I shall prefer a charge against the three gentlemen for endeavouring to extort money from me in an illegal manner. They are continually coming into my shop and obstructing me in my busi ness, demanding these rates of me, which is exceedingly unpleasant when lam waiting upon my customers. If the case be pending against me in the Ecclesiastical Court the matter is taken out of their hands, and I shall certainly prefer a charge against them for extortion. Mayor—You are at liberty to do as you please in that particular ; but with respect to the summons, this Court takes cognizance of no business but that which is brought before it. Your three former rates have before been brought before this Court, and the Magistrates de cided that they could not adjudicate in the matter, be cause you objected to the legality of them. What are your objections to the rates for which you are now sum. moned ? Mr. Palfrey.—ln the first place, I object to the rates on concientious grounds. I think it unjust for men of one religion to be taxed for another, from which they entirely differ. Secondly, Church-rates are wholly unnecessary. If Churchmen love their Church they will not let it fall to the ground for want of funds. But there are sufficient funds already pro vided for the Church, without the levying of Church rates. Mayor.—But we cannot allow you to take up our me with raising such objections as these. Why do you not come to the point at once? Mr. Palfrey.—l was summoned here to show cause why I refused to pay my rates ; and these are some of my " whys." Mr. Palfrey continued—My text objection is, that Church-rates are unscriptural,—(and taking up a Bible which he had brought with him, began to quote several passages of Scripture, but he was soon interrepted by the Mayor, who said, " All this Scripture is very good, Mr. Palfrey, but it has no thing to do with the point in question.") Mr. Palfrey.—You may think so,but I think differ ently. It occurs to me that that religion which will not stand the test of Scripture, has something rotten at the bottom of it. Mayor—But, you know, law is law, and we are bound to administer the law as it is laid down for us, whether it be right or wrong. M-. Palfrey—l consider that the law of the Church ought to be the law of the Gospel ; but setting this aside, I consider that these rates are illegal according to the law of the land. It is stated that one of these rates was made on the 3(1 of August. If I had the vestry-book I could prove that it was made on the 30th of July. Mayor—We have the rate-book, and that is suffi cient to prove that the :ate was made on the 3d of August. Mr. Palfrey—But I contend that the rate was made an the 30th of .July, and the vestry-book will prove it, Mr. Gravenor here rose and said that, as Mr. Pal frey hid admitted that he objected to the rates on the erounds of illegality, the Court could not entertain any more of his objections. Mr. Palfrey—But I was summoned here to give my reasons for refusing to pay the rates, and I request to be heard. Here are reporters in the room, and I am desirous that my objections should be published. There arc many persons, who are unable to attend here to-day, desirous of being put in possession of my objections. Mr. Kennett, Magistrates'-clerk, said he considered that Mr. Palfrey had an undoubted right to state his objections if lie chose. Besides, how could the Ma gistrates, were they ever called on so to de, state Mr. Palfrey'e objections to the rate. ? The parties wLere then ordered to retire for a WLen tl;cy were recalled, Mr. 1 3 allowed to state his objections, and Mr. Gravenor or dered to produce the vestry book, Mr. Palfrey then turned to the minutes of a meeting held on the 30th of July, which stated that a Church rate of twopence in the pound was that day granted ; signed by the Chairman and by several of the parties present. Below thii was " Mern.—The rate was this day made. Aug. 3d. C. Gravenor, Clerk." Mr. Gravenor—That was only a private memoran dum, which I inserted for my own guidance. We are never in the habit in this parish of recording the mi nutes of any meeting when a rate is made. Mr. Palfrey—ln referring to the rate made on the 10th of January, I find that minutes were taken of the proceedings. Vestry Clerk—That was on account of a poll having taking place ; on no other occasion are the minute] of such meetings recorded. Mr. Palfrey—lf the Magistrates will take the trouble to turn over a few pages of the vestry book, they will find that in about half of the instances the minutes of such meetings have been recorded. It seems to me that the clerk inserts the proceedings or not, as best suits his purpose. In one place here is a rate made and signed on the 13th of December, said to have been granted on the 17th inst. Vestry Clerk—Ali, that is a mistake. Mr. Palfrey—Yes ; the book is full of mistakes. But, having proved the fallacy of Mr. Gravenor's state ments, I do not wish to take up more time than I am obliged to do ; I shall, therefore, proceed with my ob jections. The First is, the summons differs from the bill presented to me by the two Wardens and Mr. Proctor on the 4th inst. Secondly—The rates were not properly applied for, no rate-books having been produced when the parties applied for the money. Thirdly—The summons states that it is for the sum of 1/. 161. 3d. for Church and Burial Ground -rates, and does not specify when the rates were made, nor what portion of the amount is applicable to either purpose. Mr. Gravenor—That was done to save expense. Mr. Palfrey Fourthly—There is no evidence in the vestry-book that a rate was made on the 3d of August, exceptthemeni.of the vestry clerk. The minute in the vestry-book states that an intimation was made to persons to whom the cemetery accounts were sub mitted, that the wardens intended to make a rate of twopence in the pound. Such minute bears date 30th July. I was present at that meeting, and it was then and there declared that such rate was made by the wardens; and the vestry clerk declared that such rate was legally and properly made on the said 30th July. Fifthly—No minute has been entered in the vestry book of the making of the rate of the 19th of October. Sixthly—The rates have never been submitted to the rate-payers in vestry assembled ; neither had the rate payers a voice in making the rates. Seventbly—The notices of vestry were irregular, and not accordi ng ly' t o l aw , the Act of Parliament requiring that due no ti ce should be given on the church and cha pel doors of the intention of the chtircwardens to make a rate, which had never been done. Eighthly—The rates are made for retrospective put , poses, and are not made in vestry. Ninthly—The rates are made and signed by parties have ese accounts parties, and int eres t s in th e produce of the same. Tenthly—The a ccounts are andmany charges i n there and not by the rate-pa) , wardens' accounts are not allowed by law. Lastly— Two of the rates for which I am sum moned were made before the present wardens came ~ 4 EVENING EDITION. . ..._—_-.—---- - , ~ --- -- -- - NS 3 141 ' d PLATE.—A. B.
