PRICES OF MALT LIQUORS. Last night a special meeting of the Hackney Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society was held at Mr. Homers, Dolphin, Hackney, to take into consideratione in same ro the the P priety of raising the price of beer, ae ratio as the advance by the brewersa l n ' d distillers. The meeting was most numerously and respectably attended, and included, besides the great majority of the licensed victuallers of the district, many members l of the a v the lively from all parts of tile metropolis, w evinced interest in the business of the meeting. by Mr. HOMER, On the mo tion of Mr. STrest,seconded Mr. Hubble was unanimously called to the chair ; and Mr. B. L. JEcies, the secretary, having read the cir cular convening the meeting, The sai d ,HAIRMAN the business on which they were , assembled was one of great ;importance to the trade. It was to discuss what steps should be taken in consequence of the recent advance of prices by the metropolitan brewers, and the propriety of their also raising prices in the same ratio. If any gentlemen present had any reso lution to propose on the subject, he was sure that he would meet with a candid and impartial hearing, and that the subject would be discussed solely with reference to the facts of the case.—(Hear.) Mr. J. J. HOMER said it would have given him much pleasure to have heard the opinion of the numerous body of gentlemen around him before expressing his own ; but as no one else came forward, he rose to submit a motion to the meeting on the question they had met to consider. When he heard of the advance in price on Saturday last, he felt that it was a subject for the con sideration of the trade, and that a meeting should be held for that purpose. With that view he had imme diately caused a notice to be inserted in the Morning Advertiser calling the present meeting, and subsequently the Hackney Licensed Victuallers' Protection society had taken the subject up and issued the circular which had just been read. For himself; looking at the price of grain in this country, he had looked for this ad vance in prices for some time past, but there were others who held a different opinion, and who believed that, at present prices, the brewers could continue at the old prices. He thought it was only necessary to look at the actual facts of the case to show the fallacy of that opinion. The price of malt had ad vanced from 60s. and 645. to 84s. a quarter, showing an increase of 20s. In barley there was a difference of 13s. a quarter. It was well known that the spring crops of this country were last year very deficient. The barley crop had been calculated to be one-third less than the average, and the barley imported from abroad had been much less this season than in the preceding year, while at the same time there was a steady increase in the consumption of malt liquors.—(llear, hear.) He thought it was only necessary to look at these facts to see that the brewers were, at least on the face of them, justified in taking the step they had done, and when the fact was added that the importations of ten of the principal brewers alone had amounted to 60,000 quarters of malt, it would be seen at once how the pressure bore on that body.—(llcar, hear.) The fact, however, was there. The price had been raised to the Licensed Victuallers, and the question was, weat they ought to do under the circumstances ? In causing the note to be inserted in the Morning Advertiser he had merely intended to call the attention of the trade to the subject, in order that whatever was done might not rest upon an individual, but a general decision. The Protection Society had, he believed, been actuated by the same desire, and the question was now, what should be the rise ? He thought that it should be one halfpenny a pot, which would just cover the advance made by the brewers by a small sum on the butt, but sufficiently so to prevent any loss. In his opinion it would be decidedly impolitic to raise the price one penny. If they did, it would have the effect of stimulating an unhealthy com petition, which would neither be beneficial for the trade nor the public—(llear, hear)—at the same time he be lieved it was an incontrovertible doctrine, that accord ing to the cheapness of any corranollity, so in proportion its consumption increased. It was, therefore, to hitn , in common with the trad e a t l arge, a source of regret, that the high price of malt and barley, had constrained the brewers to advance the price of porter and ale ; because they are the beverages of the industrial community, who form the great majority of the population of this country. —(Hear, hear.) He hoped that the meeting, as also the trade generally, would make the minimum and not the maximum advance, as he was confident they would ultimately be pecuniarily benefitted thereby. He un derstood some contemplated advancing one penny per pot, but he believed that on further reflection, they would see the impolicy of so doing, and give their con currence to the motion which he now begged leave to submit for their adoption. Mr. Homer then moved— " That as the leading brewers advanced the price of porter and ale o n F r id ay, the Ist instant, it is the opinion of this meeting that the licensed victuallers are com pelled to raise the price of porter and single X ale a halfpenny per pot to the public." Mr. STICH, concurring as he did in the sentiments expressed by Mr. Homer, had great pleasure in second ing the resolution. An animated discussion ensued, in which Messrs. Roper, Swatton, Faulkner, Poole, and others took part ; and the moti on h av i ng been put to the meeting, was unanimously adopted. It was resolved, :on the motion of Mr. Mitchell, se conded by Mr. R ountree, t h at the price of . g . ri be raised in proportion t o th e a d vance made by the distillers. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously passed to the Chairman for his conduct in the chair, and to Mr. flower for the deep interest which on this, and me all occasions, he had shown in the welfare of the trade, and these gentlemen having suitably acknow ledged the compliment, the meeting separated. WHITECRAPEL.—A meeting of the Licensed Victual lers of this district was held yesterday afternoon, at Mr. Hill's, Grave Maurice, Whitechapel-road, Mr. Rountree, in the chair, when a rise of one halfpenny a pot was unanimously agreed to, on account of the advance of price by the brewers. MILE -END.—A numerously attended meeting of the trade was held at the Hayfield, Mile-end-road, in the afternoon, Mr. Roper presiding, when a similar resolu tion was unanimously agreed to. GREENWICM—At a meeting of the Licensed Victual lers residing in this district, held yesterday evening at Mr. Holmos's, King's Arms, King-street, Mr. Sprunt in the Chair, on the motion of Mr. Hone, of the Wheat sheaf, seconded by Mr. Brown, of the Red Lion, it was unanimously resolved, " That the price of porter for per sons bringing their own jugs be 4d. per quart, and for using the measures of the Licensed Victuallers in or out of the house 4id. p-r quart, and that no ale be sold under sd. per quart, and other ales in the same propor tion. ARREARS OF CASES IN THE COMMON LAW COURTS. On Monday next Hilary Term commences, when the common law courts will proceed to dispose of the arrears of eases. The lists have just been made out, and, with the exception of the Court of Qieen's Bench, there are but few arrears. In that court the arrears have, by the exertions of the l earne d j u d ges, b een considerably dime i nished. A y ear or two ago the list of new trials n the court presented a fo rm id a bl e appearance — some applica tions remaining unheard for eighteen months or two years ; but now the earliest rule obtained was in No vember, 1845, so that there is every probability, in the ensuing term, the delay en rules will be brought within a year. In the special paper of the Court of Queen's Beench there are five cases for judgment and 48 for ar gument. In the new trial paper there are 71 rules for argument, which, with the exception of seven, were moved in the year 1846 ; so that the first roll in the list was not obtained earlier than November, 1845, and, with the exception of 14 rules, the cases have not been de layed longer than last Easter Term There are, in ad dition, 17 rules for the judgment of the Court. In the demurrer paper of the Court of Common Pleas there are 17 cases, and in the remanet paper five enlarged rules. In the new trial paper there are 37 rules for argument, the earliest of which was obtained in Michaelmas Term last, and 11 for the decision of the Court, including a re gistration appeal argued in the last term, in addition to which there are 11 registration appeals to be heard, in cluding two from the City of London, and one from Westminster. In the Court of Exchequer there are 13 rules for argument, the first of which was moved in No vember last. In the special paper 32 rules appear, seven of which are for judgment ; and in the n,w trial paper there are 50, of which number two are for judgment, and, with the exception of one rule, the matters were moved in last Michaelmas Term. DETERMINED SUICIDE BY ESSENTIAL OIL OF AL MONDS.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Canal Bridge Tavern, New Peckham, before Mr. Car ter, one of the coroners for the county of Surrey, on view of the body of Mr. Charles Young, aged 36 years, who committed a determined act of suicide. On Thurs• day evening last the deceased, who had formerly be longed to the Surrey Theatre, and latterly held the si tuation of a collector of one of the trust rates in the parish of Newington, entered the Bridge Tavern, and called for a rump steak and a pint of sherry, which were served in the coffee-room. He partook heartily of the steak, and drank part of the wine; but soon after a strange noise was heard, produced by a sort of gurgling of the throat, and the deceased was observed to be deadly pale. The landlord of the tavern and one or two gentlemen in the coffee-room rushed to the deceased's assistance, and it was at, first believed that he was la bouring under the effects of a fit. This impression was, however, soon It m ove d by one of the party finding a an bottle, suc h as shops, with a are usually kept in apothecaries' , label on, which left n o doubt that it had con tained essential oil'of almonds, and that its contents had been emptied i using, and drunk 114 the wine-glass w hi c h h e h a d b e en in attendance, de cease d .

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MERITORIOUS WATER MAN.— Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Carter a t the King and Queen, a t th e D ept f ord end of Rother hithe, on the body of Thomas Cornish, aged 28. The deceased was a waterman, and plied at the King and Queen-stain , . He had been the means of saving many lives, and had been frequently a witness at Mr. Carter's court as the discoverer of dead bodies in the river. On Monday night he went down to moor a boat or alter her position, and he wan no more seen alive. A watchman hoard a splash in the water about the time the deceased went after the boat, but the night being dark he could not see what it was. The deceased was not missed till the next day, and as it was found he had not been home, it was feared he had caused the splash the watchman heard. His body was susequently found near the stairs, and it is supposed that in passing along a boom to get to his boat he slipped and fell into the river. Verdict— " That the deceased was found drowned, but without evidence to show by what means." • IRELAND. DUBLIN, JAN, 1. STATE OF TIPPERARY. The Tipperary Constitution, a Tory paper, makes an alarming representation of the state of that county. De tails of robbing of sheep and provisions are given. I subjoin two extracts from that journal, which, it is ne cessary to remark, has long been in the habit of drawing exaggerated pictures of the state of the district:— " Mr. Sergeant Howley, the able and excellent as sistant barrister for this county, was obliged to be fur nished with an escort on proceeding to Clogheen to open his court on Tuesday. The military and police are ha rassed. "FIRING AT TILE MILITARY.--On Monday evening, about five o'clock, as the escort of military and police were returning from Caher, a shot was fired at them from a car, which was passing near Summerville: sub constable Crozier, who was with the party, saw the shot fired, and arrested two men named Prendergast and Slattery, who were in the car, and found a pistol which had been recently discharged concealed in the car. The parties have been committed." DESTITUTION IN THE CITY OF DUBLIN. At the meeting of the guardians of the South Dublin Union yesterday, the clerk read the following important report from the Surgeon-General, Sir Philip Crampton, and Dr. Corregan:— " Merrion-square West, Dec. 29, 1846. " Gentlemen,—ln compliance with your resolution of the 24th inst., we have this day visited the workhouse in consultation with your medical officers. " Of the total number of inmates (1,946), Bte are labouring under illness, and a large proportion of these are suffering under dranlica, or dysentery of a very fatal form. "lii the process of our examination we were very soon struck with the fact, that the fever accompanying the disease was, in nearly all the cases, of the same low typhoid character; your medical officers are of opinion that the disease is contagious, and in their opinion we fully concur. The great majority of the cases are in persons advanced in life, and relapses are frequent, which circumstance constitutes a serious aggravation of the disease. "Dysentery has prevailed throughout the city and suburbs during the past autumn to a somewhat greater extent than in preceding years, and many of these ad mitted within the last few months into the workhouse laboured under it on admission ; but, nevertheless, its more rapid increase, its assuming the form of an epide mic, the universal similarity of the accompanying fever, and the inure fatal character of the disease within the walls of the workhouse, clearly prove that there must be some additional influence of an unfavourable nature ope rating; within the institution. " The clothing of the paupers is sufficient, the food and drink, which we examined, appear to be of good quality, and, as your medical officers, in their report of Novem ber 25th, have justly observed, the disease cannot be attributed to the use of Indian meal, because num roils cases of dysentery appeared in the house several weeks before that article of diet was introduced, and numbers of the inmates have been attacked who never used the Indian meal stirabout.' To none of those influences, then, can the disease be attributed ; but, we cannot have any hesitation in attributing to the following circum stances a very great influence in predisposing to aid in propagating die disease : " Ist. To the circumstance that, for some months past, a large proportion of those admitted into the workhouse have been already broken down in constitution ; and many of them, as already noticed, labouring under dy sentery. " 2d. To the circumstance, that in the workhouse itself the wards are so crowded, and the ventilation so defec tive, that disease, no matter how caused at first, must soon acquire and maintain o, highly contagious character; and, as is universally the case under such circumstances, will also assume a fatal form, bidding defiance to the efforts of the best medical skill. "We cannot let pass this opportunity of endeavouring to impress this fact strongly upon your attention, that good air is as necessary to the support of health as wholesome food; and that, on the other hand, impure air is not a less certain poison, though it may be some times a little slower, than unwholesome food. After urging the necessity of improved ventilation, the report proceeds:— " We minutely examined the nature and progress of the disease in all its stages, the appearance after death, and the remedial measures employed. The result of our inquiry is to be able to assure you that we believe all that medical science and unwearving attention could do has been done by your medical officers to arrest the pro gress of the malady. We must observe that the labour your medical officers at present undergo is more than, we think, they can continue to endure, and a failure of their energies in their present trying circumstances will be productive of injury to the poor as well as to themselves. Eack of the medical officers has now under his care about 270 patients ; allowing only five minutes, on an average, for seeing each patient, twenty-two hours would be required to go through the whole number ; or supposing that only half the number require to be seen daily, the duty to be yet done is far beyond what your present staff of medical officers can efficiently perform. " We cannot entertain a hope that any course of mero medical treatment will of itself remove, or even materi ally arrest, the progress of disease in your institution. The crowded state of the wards should be corrected •, sufficient ventilation should be ensured ; the diseased should be separated from the healthy ; the former re moved to situations more favourable to recovery, and the latter no longer exposed to agencies calculated to predis pose to and engender disease ; in short, we are of opi nion, that the same institution cannot safely be at once both a poor- house and an hospital. We remain, gentle men, your obedient servants, "PHILIP CRAMPTON. " D. J. CORRIGAN, M.D. "Note.—The beds are so close together that there is barely room for a person to walk in between them."

SOCIETY OF FRIENDS. MR. FORSTER'S MISSION. The Dublin Me; eantile Advertiser of this day contains the following : " We have seen some letters from Mr. William Fors ter, of Norwich, who has been engaged in his truly benevolent mission for several weeks past, in the counties of Roscorainon, Donegal, Sligo, Mayo, and Galway. Mr. Forster, the brother• in law of the late Sir Thomas Fowel Buxton, had entered upon his labours with the utmost anxiety to ascertain the real extant of destitn tion. He has gone amongst the peasantry—has in spected the poor-houses, and, after the most careful inquiries, he has arrived at the conclusion that the ter rible pictures of suffering, of actual famine, which have been published in the newspapers are borne out to the fullest extent by his personal observation. "The scenes of misery detailed in Mr. Forster's letters are most harrowing ; the people absolutely perishing from fever and want, whilst in some districts food is not to be obtained for money. From Donegal Mr. Forster wrote to the central committee in Dublin that the clergy man of a parish had been existing upon one meal in the day, until he had been enabled to procure food, con veyed on horseback a distance of fourteen miles I The Friends Central Committee have made arrange ments for sending relief to some of the most distressed districts. At their request, two members of the Cork Committee (furnished with 601., hastily raised to alle viate the present distress) left on Monday morning to ascertain the best mode of administering some relict to the famishing people at Skibbereen, and the districts adjoining. "The London Committee of the Society of Friends have been most energetic in the good work. Amongst the metropolitan donations are the following :—Sand. Gurney, 500/. ; Josh. John Gurney, 500/. ; George H. Head, 300/. ; Edmund Pease, 2001. ; Wm. Peckover, 2001. ; Robert Barclay, 2001. The following twenty six members of the society in London have subscribed 1001. each :—Josh. Gurney Barclay, Abm. Darley, Henry Berbeck, John Bell, John Ditching, Mary Over end, William Janson, John Hodgkin, Thomas Fowler, Josh. Owen Harris, Han. Backhouse, Josh.

Gurney, when putting down his name for ; the 500/. which stands at the head of the list, said (so sensibly did he feel for the privation of our countrymen), that if five thousand were requisite, he would alter the sum to that. " An address from the London Committee, calling upon the Friends generally to meet and subscribe, has been issued and very generally acted upon. In Liver pool, within two or three days, the sum of 1,750/. had been collected, and the Friends of Birkenhead, very few of whom are in affluent circumstances, have already con- tributed 2501. r ` ( ` }c e M Forster, e d r. toidi me a Limerick cl f: e and d leaving f r from thence i t henee continue Connemara, intendst mis siono to th e southern 'districts." PRESENTMEN l SESSIONS.—THE LANDLORDS. COUNT Y OF CLARE. —BARONY OF LOWER BUN RATTY. —At the adjourned sessions for this barony, held at Newmarket -on -Fergus, on Tuesday last, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Bart., in the chair, new presentments were passed to the amount or 17,000/., which, added to the 10.000/. passed at the meeting held on the week previous for the completion of work in progress, make a total sum of 27,0001. which is looked upon by the gentle men connected with the barony as barely suffi cient to give employment to the people for three months. We have learned from officers connected 1 with the Board of Works in that neighbourhood, that the number of applicants for work are being daily in creased by accessions from the ranks of small farmers, who are compelled to adopt this course to secure sub sistence for their families. Among the presentments passed on the occasion, there were some for new roads, and also one for cutting down the hill at Dromoland, the residence of Sir Lucius O'Brien, Bart., which was con- TRW . 8 tilki, ILO:NOON, TUESDAY sidered by the session to be a very useful and necassary 1 undertaking. COUNTY OF ROPCOMMON.—Mr. Fitzstephen French, I M.P., presided at the adjourned sessions of Frencb-psrk, on Wednesday. Mr. French commenced by expressing to Captain Burmaster and Mr. Bushe, the officers in attendanCe from the Board of Works, the thanks of the magis trates and associated cess-payers, for the zeal with which their duties was performed, and the assistance they had uniformly afforded to the local gentry. Since their last meeting, Lord de Freyne had forwarded, under the Treasury Minute of the Ist of December, his application for an advance of 24,0001., to be ex pended in reclaiming waste lands in that barony, and in all probability instructions would be received by the next day's post by Mr. Burke to report on the memorial. lie (Mr. French)' trusted that the other landed proprietors in this district would follow this course, and that every person having a stake in the country would perform his duty. If not, let petitions be forwarded to Parliament to allow the magistrates and cess-payers to tax the lands of those not giving employ ment for reproductive works, subject to the sanction of the Board of Works. The sum voted on Saturday was for three months' employment for the destitute poor of the barony, to save this district, if possible, frxn the horrors of starvation; and his object in requesting the attendance of the officers representing the Board of Works, at this their adjourned meeting, was to arrange with them the method in which this could be most se curely and effectually done. He had prepared a return, showing the amount unexpended of the sums voted at their September sessions—the sums now allotted for each new work, and the number of men who, in the opinion of the engineer, could be conveniently em ployed on each. He would recommend that work should be laid out for each person to the amount of 21. Bs. The sum they had just voted was for three months' employment at Sd. a day. This would enable each person, by daily labour, to earn 2/. Bs. Let the relief committee send such numbers to each work as would enable this work to be carried out. Whether working in gangs or not, letlthe persons taking the tasks be al lowed to bring to their assistance such members of their own families as they please ; and, if possible, to have the task finished, and the sum required for their subsistence, the 21. Bs., earned in six weeks. The re maining six weeks out of the three months, the wages for which they have in their pockets, should be devoted to their own tillage, and some attempt made to arrest the impending famine of next year. He would also, in the most earnest manner, press on Mr. Bushe the expe diency of not allowing any person to continue as stew ard of public works who could not satisfactorily show he was, on his own land, giving employment to one or two persons, and that his land was in preparation for early sowing. The address of Mr. French appeared to give great satisfaction to a crowded court. Mr. Busiia and Captain BURMASTER stated their de sire to co-operate in every way with the magistrates, and to avail themselves of every suggestion which could be rendered effective. _ _ The remaining business was gone through, and the schedule forwarded to the secretary of the grand jury. COUNTY GF MEATH.—THE DUKE OF BEDFORD.— The following letter }as been addressed to the Irish agent of his Grace the Duke of Bedford:— " Bedford Office, Bloomsbury, Dec. 28, 1846. " Dear Sir,—The Duke of Bedford desires me to re quest that you will hare the goodness to inform the High Sheriff of Meath that he has received and considered the circular addressed by him to his Grace, in which, after adverting to an application made to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, to call an extra baronial present ment sessions in the barony of Lower Navan, for presenting for reproductive works, the High Sheriff, Charles Joly, Esq., inquires whether the Duke of Bed ford will join in a plan to provide employment for the people, without the intervention of the Board of Works, on the principle of subscriptions equal in amount to the assessment which would have to be made for productive works under Mr. Labouchere's letter ; and whether, in the event of that letter being adopted at the en suing sessions, his Grace would be willing to undertake for reproductive works (giving the required guaran tee), and to what amount ? And the Duke of Bed ford also wishes you to be so good as to inform the High Sheriff that it is very satisfactory to his Grace to find that the proprietors in the barony are anxious to come forward and provide employment without the interven tion of the Government ; and that he is willing to join in, and bear his share of any reasonable plan for accom plishing that object ; and in determining upon the steps to be taken for that purpose, his Grace hopes, where the sowing of wheat has been neglected, that the expediency of sowing spring crops will not be lost sight of. " I beg to add that the Duke of Bedford is pleased to hear that you have created employment for such of his tenants as required it ; and I quite agree with you in the opinion you express, that if every landed proprietor would do the same, it would do far better than applying to the Board of Works.—l am, dear Sir, yours truly, " CHRISTOPHER HARDY, " To Charles Joly, Esq." INAUGURATION OF THE LORD MAYOR.—At eleven o'clock this day the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and town councillors assembled at the Mansion House, and shortly after proceeded in state to the City Assembly House in William-street, for the purpose of installing Alderman Staunton in all the civic honours attached to the station of Lord Mayor of the city of Dublin. On reaching the City Assembly House, the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor elect, and Mr. O'Connell were received by the people with loud cheers. On entering the council room, the in troductory proceedings having been speedily disposed of, the insignia of office were placed on the shoulders of Alderman Staunton, who made and subscribed the oath prescribed; after which the ex-Lord Mayor de scended from the chair, to which the Lord Mayor ascended, and, having made his bow to the council, his salutation was received with loud cheers. WooLvricir, JAN. 3.—ENROLLED PENSIONERS.— In consequence of some misunderstanding in the minds of the pensioners and their wives and families as to the condition under which: they were to serve as an embo died corps in New Zealand, an order wasissued on Saturday from the Secretary of War, stating that, in the event of any pensioner dying in that colony before the expiration of the seven years appointed as the period of enrolment, their wives and families, if they prefer it, will be sent back to England at the public charge; and if, at the end of that period, the pensioners wish to re move to any other part of the colony, the Government will give them, in lieu of their cottage and acre of land, an allotment of twenty acres in any part of the colony. MISERLY HABITS OF LORD CHANCELLOR TREVOR. —He lived ever afterwards very privately, and found his chief delight in accumulating money. He became so great an economist, that he even grudged a glass of wine to a poor relation. It is recorded of him, that "he had dined by himself one day at the Rolls, and was drinking his wine quietly, when his cousin, Roderic Lloyd, was unexpectedly introduced to hint, from a side door. You rascal,' said his Honour to the servant, ' and you have brought my cousin, Roderic Lloyd, Esquire, Prothono tary of North Wales, Marshal to Baron Price, &c., &c , &c., up by back stairs.

Dr. Holloway, incumbent minister of Fitzroy Chapel, London -street, Tottenham- court road, London, has addressed a letter to the Lord Chan cellor, in which he prays his Lordship's opposition to some " novel regulations and further encroachments upon the pristine liberty of the labouring clergy," which it is intended to introduce into the House of Lords in the course of next session. The Rev. Gentleman, after ad verting to the laws in force with respect to the clergy, alludes to the propos e d regu l at i ons for the " correction of clerks," which he severely condemns, inasmuch as he contends that if more absolute power be made over to the hierarchy, so that any and every bishop, ad al bi. trum suana, may depose bib man for preaching, propa gating, or implanting what such bishop, according to his own views and sentiments, may consider " unbe coming a clergyman," there will be no class of me n in Christendom placed in greater jeopardy or more ab ject slavery, than the evangelical clergy, against whom, he alleges, the shaft is directed. Dr. Holloway views with great alarm, these and other contemplated changes, and assures the Lord Chancellor that, if per sisted in, a large number of clergymen (probably as many as 4,000) will leave the pale of the Established Church. SUNDAY TRAINS.—The list of names subscribed to the memorial presented to the Board of Directors, for the re-establishment of the two passenger trains on Sun day, has now been published ; and we have no hesitation in saying, that we never saw a more influential list of names, embracing men of all parties, to any document relative to any matter of local interest. A contempo rary, in its remarks relative to this list, clearly esta blishes, from distinct quotations from all the written documents on the part of the memorialists, that they have from the first to the last, limited their demand to the Sunday trains, as used for the last four years, and the use of which has been suspended so arbitrarily by the directors, and that nothing beyond this is contended for. An appeal having now been made to the share holders, and as to the result of which no doubt is en tertained, we would particularly impress upon the Scottish shareholders firmly to express their opinions, as we f, el confident that a vast majority of them must be satisfied that their directors have committed a most egregious blunder, to say the least of it. This is particularly called for at this juncture, in order to prevent a new ground of clamour, which will inevitably follow, that a measure is forced upon the country, by the votes of Englishmen, contrary to the sentiments of the people. Certainly there can be no justice in any such outcry, as we consider that the partners of any joint stock com pany, whether resident in England or Scotland, are en titled to manage their own concerns in their own way ; but from the character of the opposite party, we are sure that the result will be as we state, unless the Scottish proprietors do their duty.—Glasgow Saturday Post. DEAD MAN'S WILL.—I can tell you of a fancy that some people have in the wilder parts of Craven, that if the mark of a dead person (the body, however, not being cold) be put to will, it is valid in law. A few years ago a case of this nature occurred. A farmer had omitted to make his will. He died ; and before the body was cold a will was prepared by some relative (of course in his own favour), and a mark, purporting to be that of the deceased, was made by putting the pen into the hand of the dead man, and so making his mark to the will. The body of the man was not then cold. The will was contested by some parties, and, I believe, pro pheli eed o e f d o t f o th a etripaalratitelsawo,amweheonut in thecircumstaneofthe evidence.--Corres pondent of Athenwum, LAW OF LIBEL. ENING, JANtrAitY a t 1847. Few of our readers probably remember the trial of an action for libel under the name of " Houldsworth, v. Gibson," which took place about three weeks ago. A full report of it appeared in our paper of the 9th of De comber, to which we refer those who may wish to re fresh their memories on the subject. It was a case pe culiarly illustrative of the benefits of Lord Campbell's amendment of the law, which enables defendants to plead the truth of their alleged defamations. The libellous matter was contained in an article published in the Ply- mouth and Devonport Weekly Journal, and alleged that certain persons, who had once been members of the Royal Western Yacht Club, had been expelled that asso ciation on the ground of their being blacklegs. It set forth the proceedings taken by the club previous to the expulsion, and, commenting upon them, made some se vere, but by no means extravagant, remarks upon the character and conduct of the offending members. Of these remarks the plaintiff in the present case, who is one of the ostracized, complained, and with great appearance of honesty, put his case before the constitutional tribunal,—a jury of his peers. Tha newspaper proprietors justified themselves under the new law, and rested their defence upon the truth of their assertions. They traced the career of their opponent and his confederates back for several ears, and found them in various parts of the continent, and also nearer home, practising a system of what appeared to be fraudulent gambling and disgraceful knavery. To prove these facts at the trial, they were compelled to bring witnesses from a considerable distance at a great ex pense ; and we are informed that their disbursements for this and other necessary purposes do not in the whole fall much short of 2,0001. Their labour, however, was not in vain. The jury took the same view of the case as the Royal Wcstcrn Yacht Club and the Plymouth and Devonport Weekly Journal, and declared, in sub stance, that the alleged libel was not a defamation, but a correct description of the plaintiff and his friends. In other words, their verdict was generally for the defend ants. The law, as everybody knows, gives costs to the successful suitor, whether plaintiff or defendant, for the double purpose of encouraging th e p rosecut i on o f h onest demands and of preventing atte m pt s at extort i on. Th e payment of costs, in principle, may be considered in the light of a fine imposed upon persons who attempt to avail themselves of the power of the law to unworthy ends. It is a fine, too, which can be enforced by seizure of goods, and, in default of these, by imprisonment. So far may justice be satisfied. But whilst the abstract idea is thus fully carried out, the persons in whom it is developed too often receive but a very imperfect satisfaction. They are invested with a right to be reimbursed their expenses incurred against their will, and in consequence of proceedings to which the event has proved them not to be amenable ; but the mere right is sometimes their only compensation. Even the law cannot sque( ze blood out of a stone, nor make a man pay money that has not got it. A man of straw, in hatred and malice, or with a knavish design, or, as in the case before us, with a desperate attempt to patch up a broken reputation, may sue any respectable person. He hardly hopes to get a verdict, and rests contented with the reflection that he cannot be much the worse for failure, having nothing to lose ; on the other hand, he may win. But the defendant in any event, is sure to suffer. If the verdict passes against him, he has to pay damages and costs to ; if for him, he escapes 'only the former, for as to the latter, there is none but lie who can pay. In this predicament precisely stand the proprietors of the Ply mouth newspaper in "Houldsworth u. Gibson." The plain tiff is a person, as we are informed, quite unable to pay so large a sum as 2,0001.; and, if we are to judge from his manner of life, as disclosed on the trial, he is not very likely to realise it speedily by professional gaits. Thus, in fact, though not in theory, the whole expense falls on the innocent party, contrary to justice, and directly against the intention of the law. Such a result is extremely inconvenient, even in a public point of view. There is no duty of a public journal at once so delicate and so dangerous as that of exposing fraud or miscon duct in individuals. We do not fear the accusation of partiality or undue regard to self-interest, when we say that the calm unflinching discharge of this duty is most essential to the well-being of society, and ought to be upheld and strengthened by all possible means. It seldom happens now, whatever may have been done in former days, that a wilful or malicious libel appears in a lig T e l a l e e e. wo ß rs a t t cases p a l r e e s detected and villany frus trated public arenever n a m a Iporerireno print of h s o a fen of a i n n d s y i t s a h r n o c e a p e e u s s t o t a y f t I n o e n g . through the agency of newspapers. The public, we know, can express its graitucle in a fitting mann er . when once convinced that there good occasion for it. It seems to us that a good occasion is always apparent in every case of fraud exposed. Here the Plymouth- Journal has been the means of showing up a party of blacklegs (for such the verdict of a jury has pronounced them to be) who had insinuated themselves into good society, and who might have done more extensive mis chief but for the exposure. The people of Plymouth and its neighbourhood are, without question, indebted to them. Yet, for all return, they are mulct in a sum of 2,0001., and have only the beggar's satisfaction of being honest men. Surely this is a hard case.— Times. SUDDEN DEATH from IMPURE AIR, Last evening an inquest was held before Mr. W. Payne, City coroner, at the Red Lion, Shoe-lane, as to the death of a man, name unknown, aged about 50, who was found dead in bed, at a miserable lodging at 26, Field-lane, on Saturday morning last. The deceased, it appeared had lodged as above about two months, paying regularly every night 4d. for his bed. lie was subject to a bad cough, and about five o'clock, after a violent fit of coughing, was shortly after found dead. Dr. Lynch stated that he was called in by City police constable 285. Found deceased lying on his back, the extremities cold. Tried to bleed him; only a small quantity of dark-coloured blood flowed. Looked around and saw quite sufficient to account for death. It was impossible in the room to give proper accom modation even to one individual; the fireplace was closed up, as were also the doors and windows; four people had slept in the room, when there was evi dently insufficient ventilation for one. Most of the lodging-houses in that locality were very defectively ventilated; most of them were built over cesspools, and from the chimneys, doors, and windows being kept con stantly closed, the poor creatures who lodged there were obliged to breathe their own respiration over and over again, and the effect was the same as breathing the va pour of charcoal, as used sometimes by suicides in France. No doubt the . impure air had caused a fit, by which deceased had perished. It was well known, that for health, a man required . a room con t a i n i ng 1,000 cu bic feet of atmospheric and therefore a room should not be less than 10 feet high, and from eight to ten feet square, and the chimney open, while in this instance, that, the only means of ventilation, was closed, and such was the case in all t he lodging-houses in Field-lane and vicinity. The room i n wh ich deceased expired was not ten feet square. observed if a fever s places, the effe c ts m i g ht b e dread ful. ho T u h ld e CbroenaokNE out n, The jury returned a verdi ct , " That the deceased died from natural causes, nccelc.rated by the wan t o f p ure ventilation.

BISHOP OF My t fi r o u c t i t: , a u n t c r himself.() _ n Saturday last (says the Liverpool Mercury)* the High Bailiff of Douglas calleda public meeti ng o f t h e i n h a bitants of that town for the re. purpo se of " vot i ng an ad d ress " to the bishop his on tiring fro m t h e Isle of Man. At th e h our appointed a co nsiderable n um b er o f pers ons had assembled at the Court-house ; the High Bailiff took the chair, read an address, which he said he had prepared, and without ever putting it to the vote, or offering or receiving any resolution for it s adoption or rejection, called upon those present to sign it. About thirty persons having signed, Mr. Fargher objected to the address going forth as the act of a public meeting of the inhabitants of Douglas, unless it were put to the vote. The High Bailiff denied that the meeting was called for any other purpose than to sign the address, and upon Mr. Fargher attempting to argue the matter, ordered the court to be cleared by the public officer. This being done, the parties so un ceremoniously ejected assembled outside, and carried unanimously a resolution declining to vote an address to Bishop Sh ort. The reasons given were, that the Bishop had al ways i dentified himself with the opponents of a represe n t at i ve Government; that in ecclesiastical ap pointments ha h a d appointed young men i gnorant of the Manx l anguage as pastors, passing oxer Manx clergy men who h a d b een curates for many years; that he had failed t o exert himself for the restoration of Bishop Barrow's c h ar i ty funds to their designed use—popular parochial education throughout the island; that he had originated the late Marriage and Registry Bill, which was offensive to a great portion of the community; that in one of his late published charges he expressed the belief that the instruction s of Dissenters to Sabbath schoolchildren were seeding these innocents by thou sands to destruction; and that he had refused to ordain 1 the son of the late vicar of Braddan.

John Satchell, one of the officers of the palace-court, surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Charnock prosecuted, and Mr. tallantine appeared for the defendant. The prosecutor of this indictment was a person named Thomas Foulkes, and it appeared that some time in last year an action had been brought against him in one of the superior Courts of Westminster, and in due course, judgment obtained for the amount of the debt and costs. In pursuance of the provisions of a recent Act of Parlia ment, an application was,pubsequently made to the palace -court for a summons against Foulkes, to show cause why the amount should not be paid, and this Act requires that this summons should be served upon the party personally, and in default of his appearing or pay ing the amount of the debt and costs, the palace , court is empowered to commit the party for forty days to gaol. The summons having been granted on the usual form, it was intrusted to tho defendant to serve upon Foulkes, and he afterwards made an affidavit that he served it upon him personally, on the 4th August. No notice was taken of the summons, and the Court granted an order for the committal of Foulkes, and he was taken to llorsemonger-lane gaol, where he was kept for four days, when he paid the debt and costs, and was dis charged from custody. The present indictment was founded upon the affidavit of the service of the summons upon Foulkes by the defendant, and the case fur the prosecution was that no such service was made on the day in question, and that the affidavit had been corruptly made by the defendant. The evidence for the pros,- cation went to show that, on the 4th of August, the evening of which day the defendant swore in his affi davit that he had served the summons personally upon Foulkes while he was riding upon an omnibus at Ken nington-cross. Foulkes had gone down to the as , iaes at Guildford, where an action was pending in which he was a party, and that he remained in that town the whole day, and did not get back to the terminus at Nine Elms until nearly nine o'clock and that after this hour he was engaged with some of his witnesses in taking re freshment at two public-houses, and did not get to his own house until over eleven o'clock at night, and the prosecutor swore positively that the summons was not served on him. In confirmation of this statement seve ral witnesses were examined, among whom were Mr. itickley, his attorney, his clerk, and another attorney named Burns •, and they swop positively that they were with him the whole day, and Mr. Bick ley, in addition, said that he accompanied him to his own house, and they all declared that no process was served upon him. In addition to these facts, a witness named Bridges was called, who stated that he was riding in the omnibus belonging to the defendant's bro ther at the time named in the affidavit, and that the de fendant served him with the summons, mistaking him 'or Mr. Foulkes. Upon the cross-examination of the witnesses, the prosecutor admitted that he had been en gaged in a great deal of litigation, and that upon a former occasion, when a similar proceeding took place in the palace-court with regard to a judgment that had been obtained against him, he then represented that he had never received any summons, but, upon inquiry, no effect was given to that representation, and he was com pelled to pay the debt and costs. Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the defendant, made some severe remarks upon the casuistry of the witnesses for the prosecution, and he called a witness who deposed, that at the time mentioned by the defendant, he saw Foulkes riding in the omnibus, and that he really was the party upon whom the process was served.' It ap peared, however, that it was dusk at the time, and that the witness had a very imperfect opportunity of ohserv hig the person who was in the omnibus, whom he sup posed to be the prosecutor. A number of respectable witnesses gave the defendant a good character. The RECORDER, on summing up, said that if the only question the jury had to consider was upon which side the evidence preponderated, he apprehended they would not feel any difficulty in coming to the conclusion that the case for the prosecution was supported by very strong and positive evidence, while there was every reason to suppose that the principal witness for the de fence might be mistaken. If the issue also was whether the witnesses for the prosecution were perjured, he must say that he did not think they would be justified in com ing to that conclusion upon the facts as they appeared, but if, on the other hand, they believed that the de fendant had made a mistake as to the identy of the pro secutor, he would not have committed the offence of wilful and corrupt perjury, and upon that ground they would be justified in acquitting him. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, the foreman stating that they were of opinion the defendant did not wilfully swear what was false, but that he was mistaken in the person of the man upon whom he served the process. The RECORDER said he thought this was very likely to have been the case. Mr. CLARKSON then applied for the expenses of the prosecution, which the Court ordered to be allowed, the Recorder observing that it was a very proper case for in quiry. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, Alderman MUSGROVE, &O. &C.) EMBEZZLEMENT.— William Hughes, a young man of respectable appearance, surrendered on an indictment charging him with embezzling and stealing in August and September last the SUM 3 of 51. and 41. 14s. id., the property of John Rose, his master. Mr. Doane defended the prisoner. Mr. Cwormsos stated the case for the prosecution, and named a further sum than the above stated in the indict ment. Mr. O'Brien examined the witnesses. It appeared that the prisoner had for some time been in the confideiatal employ of the proscutor, who carries on business in Ratcliff. Ho was authori se d by him to receive moneys on his account, which it was his duty to pay in on the same day, or on the first opportunity. In September several defalcations took place, and early in the next month a magisterial inquiry was instituted, and the prisoner was liberated on bail, but a bill of in dictment was preferred. It was proved that he had re ceived, among others, the sum of 91. odd, which had not been paid over in the usual way. In his cross••examination by Mr. DOANE, the prosecu tor admitted that he had expressed regret that these proceedings were instituted. Witnesses were called to prove the payments. Mr. DOANE addressed the jury, and warmly expa. tiated on the previous good character which the prisoner had long borne, and observed that the prisoner admitted and deeply regretted that he had done wrong. Mr. Doane submitted that he was an agent, and not a ser vant, as required by Act of Parliament. Mr. O'BRIEN was of a contrary opinion, and then re ferred the Court to the statute. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK retired to consult the Recorder upon th e p a i nt i n di spute, and on his return he made some further inquiries of Mr. Rose, the prose cutor, as to the nature of his engagement with prisoner. The Learned JUDGE told Ur. Doane he might as well proceed with his observations, and he was understood to say, that if it became necessary the point should be re served. The Learned Counsel having done so, called several respectable persons, principally law writers and sta tioners, who gave the prisoner a very excellent character for the last ten years. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of Acquittal, and the pri soner departed with his numerous friends. Several cases of no interest were disposed of, and the Court adjourned at five o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Swallow, the foreman of the tailors in the ser vice of Mr. Pigott, army contractor, Fore-street, was brought before Mr. Alderman Sidney, charged with robbing his employer. Mr. Hobler defended the prisoner. Mr. Pigott stated, that in consequence of receiving an anonymous letter, addressed to him a t hi s country residence, he stopped the prisoner as he was about to leave at half-past six o'clock on Saturday. Witness ob served there was something bulky in his pockets, and asked him what he had there. The prisoner replied it was his own property. Witness desired to see what he had, adding, that if he was honest he would not care. The prisoner pulled from each pocket a short length of linen, measuring six yards each. He asked the pri soner how he came by it. He said he bought it of a man named Roberts, who worked for Mr. Kaye, slop seller, in Aldersgate-street ; that he was to give him 4s. for it (about half its value) ; and that he was waiting outside for the money. The porter was sent out, but no person answering to the name or description was there. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY asked how long he had been in employ, and what wages he earned ? Mr. Pigott said he was a cutter, and he gave him 265. per week. He had been in his employ ten years. At the prisoner's lodgings he found some cuttings in cotton and linen, which he presumed had been carried off by the prisoner, from their texture corresponding with that used in the army work. Mr. Hobler asked if there was any mark on the 12 yards of linen by which he could swear to it ? Mr. Pigott said there was not, but it exactly matched the linen used in the business. He produced a pattern. Mr. Alderman SYDNEY asked if he could speak to missing 12 yards or any greater quantity ? Mr. Pigott said he could not rnies it. It would be within the duty of the prisoner, if required, to keep an account of the quantity used. He had cut up many thousands of yards, but had not been required to keep an account. Mr. Hobler urged that the case only amounted to one of having possession of property, and not satisfactorily accounting for it. He believed Mr. Pigott had pressed the case with great sorrow, Qnd had no wish to see the prisoner convicted at the Old Bailey. Mr. Alderman SYDNEY, after some consideration, said a summary conviction would amount to a severe punish ment. It would deprive his family for a time of his earnings, and reduce them to distress, and it would brand his character, and star.d in the way of his ob taining or keeping employment hereafter. It would be long before he would regain his position in society. He adjudged him to be imprisoned two months in Bridewell. MARYLEBONE. Henry Gardner was brought up by Hooker, on a war rant, charged with having violently assaulted John Larey. The complainant and defendant are both paupers of Marylebone, and it appeared that on a previous after noon they were permitted to go out of the workhouse for a holiday. They drank together at a tavern, where they fell out, and blows were exchanged, and in the evening they returned to the workhouse alluded to. Gardner entered the establishment first, and laid wait in a passage for Larey, upon whom he inflicted several tremendous blows upon the face ai he was passing along. Gardner was fined 405., and in default of payment was sent to the House of Correction for a month. ' p ~'t~ 3 i^ . , A gentlemanly looking young man, who gave his name Charles Jackson, was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, charged by police constable Scott, 360 S, who stated that on the previous night he found the prisoner sliding on the footpath in the Avenue-road, St. John's-wood, and he (witness) therefore took him into custody. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the prisoner)—Judging from your appearance, sir, you are a man who ought to know better than to endanger the lives of the public in this way, by rendering it dangerous for persons to pass along. What have you to say? Prisoner—lt was a thoughtless error, sir, and I'm sorry for what I have done. Fined ss. Stephen Yearsley, who described himself as a solici• tor, residing at Kensal green, was charged with having assaulted some constables of the S division. There was also an allegation of indecent conduct made against him. The prisoner was, for the assault on the police, sent for a month to the House of Correction. IV OR 8 IP- S TTIE Is T Mr. Richard King, a merchant, residing in Warren street, Fitzroy-square, was charged before Mr. Brough ton, with having committed a viol en t an d unprovoke d assault upon Mr. Jabez Woods, an engineer, in Buak lersbury. The complainant, a member of the Society of Friends, affirmed that at nine o'clock, on the preceding evening, he got into an omnibus at Stoke Newington, where he had been dining with a party of friends, and shortly afterwards the defendant and a lady entered the vehicle, and seated them - selves directly in front of him. In order to sit more commodiously, as the omnibus was crowded with passengers, he found it necessary to stretch out his legs, at which the defendant expressed his dissatisfac tion, and desired him to remove them. Witness in sisted upon his right to retain them in that position, and the defendant thereupon seized hold of one of his legs, and violently thrust it aside. Feeling indignant at such treatment, witness raised his foot and kicked the de fendant, upon which the latter instantly struck him a violent blow upon the temple with an umbrella, and caused a severe wound, from which the blood flowed 'n such profusion as to saturate his dress. One of the passengers immediately wrested the umbrella froth the defendant, and on reaching the turnpike; where the vehi cle stopped, he was given into custody. The defendant exhibited his handkerchief and various articlos of dress which he had worn upon the occasion, and all of which were stained with blood. Mr. Robert Messer, a gentleman residing in Throg morton-street, and a master builder, named Billinn fully corroborated the complainant's evidence, and stated that they observed nothing whatever in the con duct or demeanour of the latter to justify such an attack on the part of the defendant, who acted quite sponta neously, and without any complaint having been made by the lady in his company that she was subjected to any annoyance or inconvenience. In answer to the charge, the defendant said that after taking his seat in the omnibus, his attention was first attracted to the improper conduct of the complainant by an uneasy feeling exhibited by his wife, who was sitting next to him, and who at length told him that the com plainant was insulting her by stretching out his legs and pressing her knees in a most offensive manner. He ac cordingly put down his hand, and finding the com plainant's legs in the position his wife had described, re quested him to remove them, but he refused to do so, and he was therefore himself compelled to force them aside. The instant he had done so, however, the com plainant raised his feet and dealt him a violent kick in the stomach. He certainly struck him with his umbrella, and considered himself perfectly justified in resortirrg, to such a course of retaliation. Mr. BROUGHTON said he had no doubt that the defen dant had acted under the erroneous impression that his wile had been insulted in the manner described, but if he felt himself aggrieved, his proper course was to remove the lady, and appeal to the conductor, instead of taking the law into his own hands in the unwarrantable manner he had done, The assault had been clearly established, and he should order him to pay a penalty of 603., or in default, be committed for one month to the House of Correction. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant liberated. BENEVOLENCE.—The magistrates have received letters enclosing the following charitable donations, and re questing their acknowledgment through the medium of the press :—" C. ' "3L ; " J.

An important conviction under the 11th section of the Act Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 116, "for the protection of seamen entering on board merchant ships," took place at this Court. The Act gives very extensive powers to magistrates which have been very often exercised in a beneficial manner for mariners, but not to so great an extent as on this occasion:—A well-dressed man named Peter Relit, about 40 years of age, who was formerly mate of a ship, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a 201. Bank of England note belonging to Henry Lloyd, a seaman. The prosecutor is a native of Aberdeen, where he had formerly known the prisoner. In the early part of last week, Lloyd was paid off at WhiteLaven, from the ship Acasto, of Aberdeen, after:a successful voyage to Callao, and other places, for guano. O n Th urs d ay a f ternoon the prosecutor and six shipmates arrived in London by the railway, for the purpose of embarking on; beard the City of London steam•ship, which was to sail on Saturday morning for Scotland. The prosecutor and the prisoner accidentally met on the Aberdeen-wharf, and the recognition was a joyful one en both sides. The prosecutor asked Raitt if he could recommend him and his shipmates to a lodging for a couple of nights, until the steamer sailed. The prisoner assured the sailors he would take them to a safe harbour, where they would have a snug berth and good treatment, and accompanied them all to a lodging-house, 2, Smith's court, Wapping._ Soon after the men were housed the .. prisoner warned Lloyd that a good many land sharks were about, and advised him to be very careful of his money. Lloyd said he had made a good voyage, and among other moneys had a 201. Bank o f E ng l an d no t e . The prisoner said he would take care of it for him until the steamer sailed, and the unsuspecting sailor de livered it to his countryman, never dreaming that any advantage would be taken of him. The prisoner depo sited the note in a small box in the presence of Lloyd and his landlady, and after locking it placed it in a drawer. On Saturday morning, shortly before the steamer sailed for Aberdeen, Lloyd asked for his note, and the prisoner unlocked the box in which the note had been deposited, and expressed the greatest astonish ment on finding it empty. He said the note was gone, that he had been robbed of it, and that Lloyd must put up with the loss. The prosecutor, however, would not do so quietly, and gave the prisoner into the custody of Shain, a Thames Police constable. That officer gave a very bad account of the prisoner, and said he had been leading a very dissipated life, and cohabited with a woman of loose character at a house in Smith's-place, opposite the one where the sailors had been lodging. No ore could obtain access to the box where the note was deposited. Mr. YARDLEY asked the prisoner what he had done with the 201. note? The prisoner said he left the note in a box, and it had been stolen. He could not say what had become of it. Mr. YARDLEY did not believe a word the prisoner had said, and had no doubt whatever he had appro priated the 201. note to his own use. If the prisoner did not at once restore the note to the sailor he would punish him severely. The prisoner said he could not give up the note. Mr. YARDLEY said he should enforce the provisions of the Act for the protection of merchant seamen, which he considered was a very use f u l one, and he made an order on the prisoner to restore the 201. note he had illegally detained, and to pay in addition a penalty of 101.; and, in default of doing so, to be imprisoned in the house of Correction for six calendar months, and kept to hard labour. He considered this was a very bad case, and de served the maximum punishment awarded by the Act of Parliament. The prisoner said he could not pay the money, and was forthwith committed to the House of Correction. Charles Cloake, a labourer in the employ of the East and West India Dock Company, was charged with steal ing sugar and coffee from the dock. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was leaving the West India Dock on Saturday afternoon, when his bulky appearance attracted the notice of Gladwell, a constable, who took him into custody, and upon searching him found, in a bag tied round his loins with a bit of string, and under his clothes, 24-lbs. of raw coffee. In his neckerchief was found an artificial pad, formed of a stocking, which contained 11b. 4rz. of raw coffee. He was asked where he had been at work, and he replied at No. 10 warehouse in the deck, and had taken the coffee from that place. On searching the prisoner's lodgings, No. 30, Edward -street, Limehouse, the officer found 71bs. of roasted coffee and 11b. of raw coffee, which the prisoner also admitted having taken from the clock. The prisoner, in defence, said he committed the rob bery through distress. His wages were only 15s. p er week, and he had to pay 4s. per week for his ready furnished apartments, and Is. per week in liquidation of a debt he had contracted, leaving only 103. for the sup port of himself and family. The prisoner was committed to Ne%vgate for trial. ANTIQUITY OF SCHOOLS OF DESIGN.—A school of design was established in the ninth century for the illumination of manuscripts.—The Builder. DREADFUL EFFECTS OF THE LUCIFER MANUFAC TURE.—A case" has occurred for the fourteenth time, in Nuremberg, of the removal of the lower jaw -bone, in consequence of disease, from persons working in lucifer match manufactories. The disease usually attacks girls who, for trifling wages (2s. per week), risk the loss of their health. The physicians have not hitherto been able to find any means of cure for this disease; when the jaw bone is once attacked, however slightly, the malady is incurable, and the hone must be removed. In this last case, the girl had left the factory above six months, dur ing which time she had been at service in another town, before the jaw showed symptoms of disease. During the operation she suffered the extremest agony. Govern ment ought to take this subject into its earnest consi daration.—/lumburgh paper. ENGLISH EXILES.—•' Since 1815," observes the Dunherquoise, " many English families have resided at Dunkerque, but at no former, period was their number greater than at present. There is no exlgeration in estimating that small colony at about 1,000 persons." Dunherquoi se great l y pra i ses t h e i r h umanity, wh i ch manifests itself at thi s momen t by amp l e di str ib ut i ons o f provisions to the indigent. - • RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
