LONDON: TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1840. There are symptoms of a rally among the Tories. The Times calls them to the fight. The Standard is waved aloft, and the Conservative democracy from without is urged on to assail the Whigs. What are the Tories to rally for ? That the Con servative democracy will put themselves to any trouble or any expense merely to place Sir R. PEEL in office, nobody can for one moment sup pose, for he and they are at variance. If the Tories muster all their forces, and spend all their fortunes, to elect Common Councilmen, Aldermen, and Members of Parliament, they will not stop there. These are but means to ends. Admitting that they have a majority in the House of Com- , mons, and that they form a Ministry, what line of policy can they or will they pursue ? They have the Corn-laws—they would not surely prohibit the introduction of food of all kinds from foreign coun tries ? They have the Church—would they extend it ? They have a great abundance of sharp and brutal laws—would they increase and sharpen them? The Tories have already all they could get were they in office, except office itself, which would gra tify the very few fortunate holders, and displease the excluded many. We can conceive the Radicals or the Chartists compassing their ends by new laws, but the Tories already possess all which the laws could give them ; and were they to be placed in office, it would only be as in 1829, disgracefully to give up the citadel as if they betrayed a trust. We understand why certain leaders, and subs, and scrubs amongst the Tories, such as PEEL, and GRAHAM, and GLADSTONE, and CLERK, and GOULBURN, should be anxious to conquer office-- it would give them honour and emolument ; but we are at a loss to understand why the people should back them. The politicians do not look beyond office—the people never look at it. For them, therefore, the questions are of the utmost impor tance. What are we now fighting for ? What are we to fight for next ? A few amongst the people, but their number is very small, may be able to pro cure subordinate offices for their relatives and friends, and may be delightfully great men by having some little influence in distributing the patronage of their respective boroughs, cities, or counties ; but why should the bulk of the constituencies sacrifice the public welfare to pander to the ambition of these would-be great men ? Whatever a few leaders may gain by a change, the great Con servative democracy, on which the Standard calls to overthrow the Government, could gain nothing whatever. To have Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord STANLEY in office would not add one jot to the safety and security of their beloved insti tutions. Then the Whigs would be more at liberty than at present to batter the Church, to attack po litical abuses ; and then the Opposition might be formidable enough, backed by the multitude, not merely to obstruct but to overthrow the Govern ment. Journals, under the guidance of political leaders, may, for their own purposes, stir up the Conservative democracy to cause a pressure from without ; but if that dcmocracv—suppbsing them to- be thoroughly Tory, thoroughly the slaves of the landowners, and thoroughly priest-ridden-- ask themselves what they can possibly gain by effecting a change in the Ministry, supposing that within their power, they will, we are sure, fold their bands, and allow the Tory leaders to struggle by themselves. They may have the satisfaction, if they are pas sive, of knowing that their leaders will have a greater opportunity of distinguishing them selves. When the people quietly follow their bread-winning occupations, then the busy, meddling brood of EXETER; LONDON; WESTMEATH; GOULBURNS, INGLISES, PLUMTRES, &c. &C. fill the halls of the Legislature, and the newspapers with their orations. In a calm this cla s s of men are wond er f u ll y great ; the world seems al most too little for th em , an d their wisdom is so vast, that they seem almost ready to dethrone the Ruler of the universe, and take into their own hands the guidance of the spheres. But when the storm comes, when the people thunder at the doors of the Legislature, when that pressure from without, which the Standard invokes, really arises these great law-makers shrink into obscurity, and are only heard of as proffering a ready acquiescence in the people's demands. If the " Conservative De mocracy,' therefore, do not mean to destroy their own idols, and deprive themselves of all pretext for man and priest worship, they will remain perfectly quiet, notwithstanding the call •f the Standard, and will not cruelly thrust EXETER and LONDON back into the obscurity of their cathedrals. We mentioned yesterday the case of the hand loom weavers at Carlisle, and we must now call at_ tendon to the condition of the plain silk-glove weavers of Nottingham. We learn from a Corre spondent at that place, who has sent us the placard issued by these weavers, that they have struck, and are now standing out, to prevent a proposed reduc tion in their wages, which, if submitted to, would disable them from procuring the most common Ile THE SUN, LONDON, ttg B I)AY,_AU G -US T is, 1840. cessaries of life.

The time is fast approaching when our Constitution will be greatly more popularised ; and it is one of the reasons why I plead so strongly at present for the independence of the Church, that if we are obliged to give it up now to the patrons, we must give it up then to the people. What will the Non-Intrusionists say to this ? Will they adopt this new edition of the Veto along with their leader, or will they leave him alone in his glory ? In what absurdities and perplexities do men involve themselves, when they quit the path of con sistency and integrity ! We always contended that Dr. CHALMERS and his clique were insincere— that while they clamoured so lustily for the rights of the people, they were in reality struggling to extend the power of the clergy. How well does the Rev. Doctor now bear us out in our conclusion I wages. The violent language of the Carlisle weavers, which we did not quote, though similar language is now too frequently used, is one proof of the very bad. feeling which is engendered amongst the masses by their continued sufferings. The late riot at Bilston, we are informed, grew from a similar cause. " The distress," writes a Correspondent, " in that district, is really shocking, and what the people have suffered this year is not to be told. In the midst of their distress they were grossly insulted and mocked by a meeting of Nobi lity, Gentry, and Clergy, who, apparently in derision of their sufferings, call themselves Con servative Operatives. They set the bells a ringing, they called the new police about them, s:rd held themselves forth as the real friends of the people. ,They denounced the present Ministers as swindlers —held them up to scorn and contempt, and derided what they called the humbug of Anti-Corn-law agitation. The row at Bilston therefore grew out of the Corn-law—grew out of the distress and suffer ings of the people ; and if the Government mean to preserve the peace of the community, they must relieve that distress. How it is to be done, let the Legislature decide. We only declare, that the Legislature, which pretends to regulate every thing, cannot, without great and grievous sin, leave such a mass of misery unrelieved. The Madrid Cabinet has at length been defi nitely formed. After a world of negotiations on the part of the REGENT and ESPARTERO, the list of Ministerial appointments is officially declared complete. The announcement is made as follows, in the Moniteur of Sunday, which outstrips in the speedy communication of this news the Madrid Gazelle:— " We learn from Barcelona by telegraphic despatch that the Spanish Ministry was definitely constituted as fol lows : President of the Council and Minister of War Senor VALENTIN FERRAZ Foreign Affairs Senor ONts. The redoubted Commission of the General As sembly of the Kirk held its first quarterly sittings at Edinburgh last week. The proceedings of this anoma lous body have greatly disappointed public expecta tion. It was supposed, from the fire-and-faggot zeal displayed by the majority of the General As sembly against the heinous transgression :committed by the Strathbogie ministers in obeying the law of the land, that the Commission would have proceeded without further ceremony to depose them from their offices. This, however, it has not done. It has acted with an extreme degree of caution, we should rather say with a timidity, which contrasts notably with the boldness of times not long gone by. Has a change come over the spirit of the Kirk ? Has she deemed it prudent to desist from the violent course on which she had entered before the conse quences of that course render retreat impossible and defeat inevitable ?

None of these are great names,, even in Spain, but they represent men of respectable talents and Constitutionally liberal principles. hey have much to do, if they propose to themselves to re store Spain to her proper position among the old Powers of Europe. The Bayonne Papers announce the commence ment of the evacuation of the Port of Passages by the English, which was expected to be completed in a fortnight. This i 3 the best answer to the calumnies of the Gazette de France about our oc cupation of that harbour, with a view to make it a second Gibraltar, and a thousand other surmises equally ridiculous. As such malicious insinuations were calculated at this time to make a dangerous impression on the public mind of France, we think our Government has acted very wisely in orderin g the evacuation to take place wth as little delay as was consonant with the safety of Spain. The latest Madrid Papers are of the 9th instant, but they contain no news. The Five per C , Jic_s. were at 29 11-16 for cash. pression on our minds. The seven brethren of Strathbogie had been or- tered by the Assembly to appear before the Com. mission to make submission for their "contumacious' behaviour, and to be dealt with as the Commission' should deem proper. Well, the Commission meets, and the first thing it does is to call the names of the refractory brethren. Do they appear ? Not one of them. Not only do they not appear, but they greatly aggravate their original offence, if offence it was, by persisting in their opposition to ecclesias tical authority, and vindicating themselves by plead ing the illegality and unwarrantableness of the pro ceedin7s of the Assembly in their case. Their agent made the following statement to the Commission That he had been instructed by his constituents to intimate to the Commission, that they did not intend to compeer at this meeting of the Commission, or at any of its other meetings to be held under the authority of the last Assembly's resolutions and sentences relative to them. This declinature did not proceed from any disrespect towards t h e Church actin ; in or any of th e j u dicatories of a le-al and competent manner. But the Supreme Civil Court having found that the reolution and whole proceedings of the last General Assembly, as these affect the majority of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, are illegal and unwarrantable ; and the Special Commission appointed at last Assembly hav - i.er failed to establish the legality of these proceedings, alrbough an ample opportunity was afforded to them of d o i ng so, the majority of th e Presbytery cannot, with out acting inconsistently, recognise or sanction any part of the proceediags which have been suspended as illegal, and the carrying of which into effect by the Special Commission has been interdicted. The agent for the majority of said Presbytery further produced, and d e . posited in the hands of the Clerk of the Commission, certitic.:l copy of the note of suspension and interdi ct upon whi c h the decision of the Supreme Civil Court The state of public opinion in this country is better understood by the King of the FRENCH than by his Ministers, or by any of the parties re presented by the Parisian Press. This is cleark shown by the Journal des Debuts, the only Relief - ) Paper which derives its inspirations ft om the highest quarter, and the only one, moreover, in which any thing like a moving appeal is made. to the national sympathies of Great Britain. In our columns of Monday appeared a long article from that paper in which the Oriental Question was handled with sin gular ability, and in which it was impossible not to admire the cleverness with which every phase of the question presented by the writer was made to bear upon the jealousies so generally en tertained in England of the ambitious and encroach ing policy of Russia. Well-feigned astonishmeni is expressed at the strange spectacle of E 1 laud and Russia united to save an Empire of which we have denounced the latter as the deadly enemy ; while France, whose interference twice saved the dominion of the Padisha from the pres ence oa conquering . foe, is flung overboard as an impediment in the way of th e N ew Alliance. Upon this point 03 Debuts i s certainly mistaken. We are as little blind t o th e ambitious views of Russia in the East as we ever were. We know right well that the E m p eror NiciroLAs would sacrifice a limb, and the lives of 200,000 Russians to-morrow, to be recognized by Europe the master of Constantinople, and the imperial keeper of the keys of the Bosphorus. For fifty years past this has formed the day-dream of Russian ambition. It is, however, amazingly strange thAt France shonlil jail to Ve that the have fitly tb unite with her in supporting the Viceroy, to realize these long-eher,shed schemes of Russian aggression. We hate oriy to a , atielon the quadruple alliance, which secures to us, equally with Russin and Atitria, the piroleCtdrate of toe Pate, and Russia will declare herself sole guar dian of the Ottoman empire, and pour her Cossack legions from the shores of the Black Sea into the Turkish capital. This we could nut prevent if the Porte deemed such succour necessary to oppose the formidable combination of Western Europe in favour of the Viceroy —and this would seal the doom of Turkey. It is a strange argument to oppose to the coin bination of the Four Povvrls that the Sultan is it mere puppet when compared with his invincible Egyptian Vassal. Why, the very weakness of the Sultan forms the main justification of the policy of the Four Powers. " You want," says the Debats, in a tone of scornful triumph, " this glorious old man, MEHEMET ALI, who made Sultan MAHMouD capitulate, to shrink from this weak and feeble-minded Augustulus ( AnD-EL MEDJID) whose guardian he is rather than his vassal, who lives but through him, and, as it were, in his shade." We do not want this altogether; but we do want to see the SULTAN in a capacity to exist independently of his Vassal. The Debals rightly describes the relative position of the Go vernments of Egypt and Turkey, and in daing so completely justifies the interference of the Great Powers. To talk of the independence of Turkey, while maintaining that it only exists by the per mission of a vassal of the empire is preposterous. Under the circumstances described by the Debats the SULTAN and the VICEROY could not be left to settle their differences without imposing upon the SUL T AN; a t th e r i s k o f dethronement, the ne cessity of unqualified submissi o n to any terms pro posed by MEHEMET ALI, even to the exchange of governments and titles. And yet France sees, or affects to see, in such a state of things nothing in consistent with the maintenance by Europe of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. But if France be really persuaded, as appears from her conduct, that the Ottoman Imperial family is worn out—that Turkey can only be re generated by placing the VICEROY on the Throne of the Eastern Cmsars, why has she not the honesty and the frankness to say so in a way intel ligible to the world ? For in reality this is what she aims at, and what she might have ac complished had the good genius of MEHEMET ALI not deserted him after the battle of Nezili. Had he taken advantage of the consternation into which Turkey was thrown by the defeat of her army, the defection of her fleet, and the sudden death of the PADISHA, and dashed at once upon Constan tinople, we are not prepared to say that the people would not have declared for him—that he would not have been hailed by the faithful Mnssulmans as the victorious representative of the Prophet, He would have only to have restored the Turban, and abandoned the hateful red Fez, to have roused the fiery zeal of the Moollahs and Dervishes in his favour, By halting between two opinions, France has put herself in an entirely false position. When she con tends that her object, in common with all the Great Powers, is to maintain the independence of Turkey, she secretly means an independence represented by the domination of the VICEROY. This affords the only satisfactory solution of what is otherwise inex plicable in her conduct. But notwithstanding the violence of a few journals, the war-fever is fast abating in France. Most of the leading journals of Sunday discuss the Eastern question with great calmness. This is a great point gained, to which the English press has greatly contributed. There is no general news in the Paris journals of Sunday. The Louis Napoleon affair is still discussed in the papers ; but they publish no new fact of any interest to an English reader. • The general impression in Paris on Sunday was, that the peace of Europe would not be disturbed. The French fleet has received orders not to interfere should the four powers resolve upon a blockade of Alexandria. We have received from our correspondent at Toulon, a letter, to which we invite the attention of the public. It is written by a well-informed person, who is in a situation to know the facts. It must be observed that the notices respecting the warlike comedy which is supposed to be in ' tended by the Cabinet to delude the country, come from all quarters, from our seaports, from our Ministerial de partments, from England, from Germany. M. Thiers must see that mistrust is excited, and that ho incurs all the risk of a heavy responsibility. TOrLON, Ara. 11.—A great fuss is made about the ar maments that have been ordered ; but in reality very little is done. There is no more real activity in the port than previously to the events whits have led to this manifesta tion, at which the English journals already laugh. No body believes in war, or at least in the firm resolution of the Government to engage in it, if it should be necessary. Accordingly everybody in general proceeds with that re un,issness which is naturally produced by the obligation to perform a task which is considered as useless. When the Government, in the time of the restoration, resoled on the expedition to Algiers, there was an activity, an ardour, to which we have now nothing similar. The Souverain, which has been so long armed, is wait ing for the complement of its crew from Brest. Tee Ville de Marseille of the line, has been for this mouth past in the basin without appearing to advance. The frigates, the arming of which has been ordered, will not be r.:..dy for these six months, and then it remains to be seen whether, there will be seamen to mint them.

A levy of 100 men for the Arsenal was spoken of, which was a glass of water in the ocean ; and even this levy toes not appear to have been !wide. The number of cfficere is insufficient. Thirty Enseignes des Vaisseau are wanting in the ships cf the squadron. The superior grades are encumbered with old men, unfit fur service. The system is obstinately per sisted in of riot applying to the navy the law relative to re tirements from the army, The Triton is to sail in two or three days for the Levant with Rear-Admiral Hugon, who is to tile the place of Rear-Adn - Aral Lalonde. The laver, it is said, will he chief of the staff of the Comelander in-Chief, Ido not know what will happen. But if this officer, the only one who has shown ally energy and capa city, were recalled, it would be a proof that it is wished to avoid war at any rate. To enter into the main question, it must be said that the only way to impel to war, and to avoid it, if it can be done honourably, is to induce Mehemet Ali to advance, and to send him assistance if necessary. I have repeatedly said how easy it is for us, with our steam-boats, to send troops in a short time to Syria.

Thus we have, on the same day, United States Bank Shares sold for cash, or real transactions, at 67, and time sales, or imaginary tran se.,_4,ionsi, at W r i, of 4 lower, A few of the brokers, here called "bears" and " figs; and having to deli cr the stock cr pay or receive the difference at maturity, they become interested in lowering the stock as much as possible, and clearly adopt unwarrantable means to effect their object. The attention of the press and Oil people here is at length roused to the subject, and the Philadelphia board of brokers, acted up ri, l presume, by public opinion, have passed a resolution to the effect, that in future there shall be no " time vales" for longer than sixty days. I will add, however, that the whale system is one of profligate and desperate gambling, and has operated to the depression of stocks of all kinds, and to the injury or ruin of widows, orphans, and families :tho have invested their means in the different public funds of the country. When stocks are I falling, and in times of panic, the•stock-jobbers batten on the public distress. The success of the British steam-ships to Boston and New York, and the consequent advantage derived by those cities over the other great Atlantic ports, have stimulated the Philadelphians to make a great effort—and I hope a successful one—to establish a line of steamers to England. A preliminary meeting was held on Wednesday even ing, at which several influential citizens attended, and a committee was appointed to report the best means of ac complishing the object. The result has not yet trans pired, but I am informed by one of the members of the Committee that they have agreed to refer the matter to Mr. Henry Cope, of the firm of H. and A. Cope, pro prietors of the Liverpool and Philadelphia line of packets ; also, that Mr. Cope is to select two other citizens to act with him, and that the three are to be managers, to receive subscriptions, commence operations, &c. The Messrs. Cope are well known at Liverpool, and extensively con nected in shipping and commerce with that port. It is in tended that one of the regulations of the new line shall be, that all passengers arriving in the rhiladelphia steam-ships shall be forwarded, in a six-hour journey, either to New York or Baltimore, as they wish. Passengers therefore will be booked in Europe for either of the three cities, New York, Philadelphia, or Baltimore. At a wolf hunt, consisting of 300 persons, held near Stanstead, Upper Canada, a few days since, Mr. Wood and Mr. Merrill were accidentally shot dead by some of their companions, who fired incautiously as the circle be came small in which the wolves or deer were enclosed.— Correspondent of the Chronicle.

According to a statement published it would appear that the imports of the year 1839 were in value 20,728,845 dollars six reals, in currency, and 173,670 dollars six reels, specie. The exports in the same period were in value 8,592,059 dollars seven reals, currency, and 75, 173 dollars four reels in specie ; and that the duties on these imports and exports have amounted to nearly two millions of dollars currency, and this at a time when the ports of Buenos Ayres were in a state of blockade. This day, 16th inst. (16th of May) completes the 781 days of the blockade. The highest rate of exchange upon England during the week was 29-16 pence. The highest price of doubloons 3555. 'ORIENTAL STATE.—Having lost our Monte Video Papers by the fire we noticed in a former number, we were unable to refer to the decree respecting the additional du ties recently imposed by the Government of the Oriental Republic. They arc briefly this :—Eight per cent. on all imports, and five per cent. on all exports, with the excep tion of jerked beef, which has now to pay three reels per quintal. These new imposts commenced on the 21st ult. It appears from returns that the expenditure of the State exceeded the revenue by $443,139, and the amount of Treasury bills in circulation on the Ist inst. $4,385,600. THS FUNDS.

From the statement of the prosecutor, it appeared that he took the prisoner, who was in a starving condition, into his service, solely out of charity ; he gave him Is. a week, and his board and lodging, and told him he might stop with him till he got a place. On the day stated in the indictment, the prisoner asked the prosecutor for 2/., stating that his son wanted it to fetch papers. The money was given him, and he then absconded. The son of the prosecutor statel that he had novcr sent the prisoner for the money. John Bonnycastle Jewell, the chief mate of the Lady Flora, East Indianian, was indicted for assaulting one of the seamen of that vessel, on the 6th of June last, while the ship was on her way from Madras to this country. From the statemeits of Mr. JONES, who appeared for the prosecutor, and the evidence adduced, it ap peared that on the day in question the prosecutor was at the helm, when one of the passengers on board came up and spoke to him. Upon this the third mate came up to the prosecutor and told him to mind the helm, to which he replied that be was minding it as well as he could. The third mate then struck him, and when he was relieved from the helm he was told that the defen dant wanted him. Upon his going to him he told him that he had been impertinent to the third mate, and for the purpose of degrading him he ordered him to be flogged by a black man on board, who acted as the setang or boatswain. After eighteen lashes had been infLeted upon the prosecutor, the defendant said to him, " Now, Sir, consider yourself well black-fellow flogged.' Upon this the prosecutor said, when he got to London that he would go to Mr. Ballantyne, at the Thames Police-office, - where he should be sure to have justice. Upon arriving in this country the prosecutor instituted the present prosecution, and the defendant was orderee. to find bail to answer the charge. Mr. Ballantyne appeared on behalf of the de fendant, and contended that the punishment on the prosecutor was too mild for the offence of which he had been guilty. The RECORDER summed up ; and the Jury found the defendant Guilty, on the ground that he had acted without the authority of the captain ; and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 203 to the Crown, and to be imprisoned till that fine was paid. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant discharged. NEW COURT. TVillimn Morgan, a countryman, was indicted fcr stealing twenty-five sovereigns, the property of Robert Churches. Robert Churches—l am a farmer, residing at Bodlcy, in Somersetshire ; I have a box, in which was twenty five sovereigns; I live with my father. The prisoner lived in his service ; he left on Sunday night, the 9th of August, without giving any notice. I went to my box on the morning after, and the sovereigns were gone. I came to London, and found the prisoner at the Bell and Crown tap, and gave him into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I had not seen the money for some weeks. I went to the box the Sun day the prisoner went away, and took out my Sunday clothes. I locked the box, and put the key in my pocket. We never had any character with the pri soner, nor ever asked for any. There are two other servants, who came last Ladyday. The prisoner came to us for a month. He was paid a month's wages, and agreed for another month ; there were wages due when he went away ; he did not ask for them, nor did he give notice that he was going. By the COURT—Prisoner had no watch ; he had no box, and the only clothes he had, except those he had on, were one shirt, and a sleeve waistcoat. I never saw any money in his possession except a shilling or two. G. White—l keep the Crown tap, Holborn ; pri soner arrived there at eleven o'clock on the night of Monday week, by the Swiftsure, Bridgwater coach ; He had no luggage. He said he was a stranger in Lon don, and gave me fifteen sovereigns to keep for him. He afterwards had one from me. He had no clothes and no bundle. J. Butcher—l know the prisoner, I saw him on Wed nesday, he asked me to get him a situation, he said he had some money, twelve sovereigns, which he had earned by mowing, but he had no box. Police Constable Mann took prisoner into custody, and found a silver watch in his possession. Mr. CLARKRON addressed the Jury for the defence, and contended that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction, although, he must admit, it was a case of strong suspicion. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, the Jury found the prisoner Guilt), and the Court sentenced him to seven years' transportation. SECONDARIES COURT. (THIS DAY,) (Before Mr. Secondary JANES.) BAXTER V. VICKORY. This was an action brought for the recovery of the sum of 741. 16s. 4d. alleged to be due under the fol lowing circumstances :—The plaintiff is a master carrying on business in Southamption-street, Covent garden, and the defendant, a clerg,) man of the Established Church, possessed of a lucrative living in Devonshire. In 1836 the defendant first be gan to deal with plaintiff, from which time up to the latter end of the )ear 1839, he was sup plied with various articles of dress, consisting of cloaks, clercal coats, &c. for his own use, and by his order, for the use of his son, who held a commission in the Devonshire yeomanry, with five or six dress coats, waist coats and trousers, and a very expensive military uniform. The plaintiff's foreman having proved that defendant had given ordeis for the various itemsin theßill, deposed also to having seen the clothes on bothhim and his son. The Learned SECONDARY having summed up, A verdict was returned for the plaintiff. GUILDHALL -(THIS DA V.) IMPORTANT TO PAWNBROKERS. --Mr. Whitaker was summoned by Mr. Weston, of No. 12, Fetter-lane, under the Metropolitan Police Act, passed last session, to show cause why he refused to deliver up a quantity of calico, linen, and buttons, beir , materials for making shirts, which had been unlawfully pawned with him. Part of the calico and linen was cut up in collars, wrist bands, &c., and came under the denomination of un finished work, fin receiving which in pledge, pawnbro kers are liable, according to the new Act to a fine in twice the amount of the money lent, with costs, besides the restitution of the goods to the owner. In this case it appeared that Mr. Weston has been of late plundered to a great extent by sonic of his work people (who are in custody upon the charge). and a qu Antity of unfinished work has been discovered in the hands of pawnbrokers. Mr. Weston swore that the money lent by the de fendant upon the goods now produced in Court was more than their value. Mr. Whitaker said that showed he knew the person who pawned them, and that he believed the person to be honest. Mr. Weston contended that it showed the pawn breker was a gainer by the connexion. The MAGISTRATES (Mr. Alderman Copeland and Mr. Kelly) Mtheted the full penalty.
