EVENING EDITION. nq nsense. L a b our i s g iv e n for corn, and labour is dear and corn i s c h eap w h en t h e f ormer exchanges I °' a lar ge quantity of the latter. On the contrary, torn is dear and labour is cheap when a small quantity of the former will buy a large quantity of the latter. In our country at present, with the Corn-laws, labour is very cheap and e ,orn very d ear , f ur t h e l a b ourer must g ive a whole da y's labour, whether he be an agriculturist or a ma nufacturer, to have a bare subsistence. Another statement is, " that whatever tends to the aPen corn in the English market, and at the Ca me tim e to di m i n i s h t h e amoun t of the English la bourer's empl o y men t i n c omiection with the soil of tits native country, acts injuriously on the Engl i s h l abourer' s condition." The substitution of the awin g plough for the wheel plough, which substi ,ltuted two horses and one man for four horses and '7 O men, t o d o t h e same wor k, must, on this princi ple' have been injurious to the labourer, and ought not to have been tolerated. Every similar improve ment must lie under the same ban, and the argu ment of the Herald, followed out to its conclusion, ° l t'd carry back the people to grub up the ground With their nails. T he gist of all agricultural improvements, the ob- J ee t for which our agricultural societies are formed, ° obtain more food from the soil by le ss hbour. The progress of society is in t he same eecti ° ll ; and whereas in former tim es three fourths, or f our -fifths, or even the w hole of n 'e so ciety was employed in p rovidin g food, Conn ected not one-half of the society is in an y wa y wi t h ag riculture. It is remarke d b y A : t.r n ult YOUNG, that in those countries where th bulk of the population are engaged in agricul ture' as in th e w ine districts of France , they a re i: arja hhipoorer than where they are partly en g a g ed Other arts. A similar remark is, we believe , q uite tru e of England, the peasantry being the worst off th ose counties, such as Kent, Sussex , Ber ks, b uc ks, Wilts, etc., where there is little other la resides agriculture ; and perhaps they are Worse off in the hop districts , where the whole cul ti,tltion nearly i s ca rried on by the hand—notwith thawding som e p e culiar advantages pos sessed b y °%C _district s as to the distribution of property— th at , 'in the corn districts. In fact, as society ad .4nces) and knowledge enables men to produce b °re and more food by less and less la c7' Where the spare labour of the agri lural districts is not absorbed by ma nufactures, the population is conti nuall y Starred dow n to t h e amo unt necessary to cultivate the la ". This is the explanation of the extreme 41 ; a et chedn ess o f t h e po p u l a tion of Hungary, Poland, I part s of Russia. There are no manufactures 4 4 th ose countri e s to take off the surplus hands , they cannot,e, emigrate ; labour, or man, there becomes ex elY cheap, an d corn excessively dear to him (t h tu ° ugh it may be cheap to buy with our manufac ear" Which are d es i re d by the landowners), for he "°t ) by any amount of toil or skill, get mo re than a small quant i t y o f the coarsest kind. To St progress of manufactures, as the Herald si res, is to stop the means of employing the sur plus h an d s wh i ch are perpetua ll y f oun d i n me re a gricult ura l countries, partly in consequence of the Pro gress of skill and knowledge, and is to expose the iv, agricultur a l labourers to the certainty of havi n g the ir numbe rs k e pt down to the dsmand for labour by continual starvation. Whether that would be the case were the land 111:/t all monopolized, as it is in Poland, Hungary, 4114 Britain, we will not assert, but we have to deal with the case of a complete monopoly of the soil ''ery foot of land here has an owner. The Corn laws, therefore, do not, as the Herald supposes, 4e llre to the labourers of England a mono p ol y of th e great trade of growing food for the rich con -"le" Of fo o d ; but they secure a monopoly of the aU i , to the owners of the monopolised land. These l aws th e i a b ou _ 'cure the monopoly for them , aga inst r . er s en labou rer , the land, as well as against the In manufactures, and make all labourers g iv e rie more labo ur than they otherwise would to the I ° Owner s o f the land, to have the ne cessar y sup ies °f rued. That monopoly, to use the He - uwn term s , ra i ses the price of food to all the consumers of food, and ra i ses t h e pr ice of the land , °n whi ch alone th e necessary supply o f food can b reit erated a ssert i ons If we arc constrained to su pp ose, b y assertions, that the Herald wishes well t o the labourers, we are also constrained to con elude' b y the paragraph we have quoted, that the w ater in th at Journal has su b t ili se d a nd refined v l: all sense has disappeared from his writings. T he Morning Post admits — pThat th e po li t i ca l arrangeme nts comprised in the b i ttY are no t suc h as France wwouldd e e f em wa it r worth risk We 4r : id !? prevent at the expense and plated in this treaty so enable an d so obviously necessary to the balance of u rc ' w er in 111130 Europe, that France could not venture to the common sense of mankind by making war order to hinder their accomplishment." It also states The policy of the Treaty of the 15th of Jul is by the of approbton, and undoubtedly I , t is approve d " e Conservative party in this country. Franc e has expressed her concurrence in the object of the treaty, that of preserving the in •e,,r; 6 : t Ya the 'Turkish empire, and therefore, ac cordin g to the Post, ought to approve of t t , h ; e , tre aty• But as that journal must find fault t , - ' 4 " the Mi n i sters , even though it side against .

" All the fault lies in the mismanagement of the i'.°reign Minist e r," who nevertheless concluded the N i tr eaty of which the Post so much approves . at proof d oes th e P o st give of this " misma t:d :g etrl ent," and that our intemperate mode of c arr y . 1- g the treaty into effect has provoked, not war b l ut th e stormy language of the Paris journals 1 ‘ Ve see none whatever ; for that language, and the warlik e preparations of the French Government, hthe unfounded notion that France h , tl been insulted, and stirring up the warlike ener g'esa her people, were all prior to the intelligence I : l e 7 ll ing France of th e conduct of Commodore API ER) even supposing that it justified ---which it did not—the intemperate lan °age of the Paris Press, and the more reprehen sible proceeding s of the French Government.

The first, in alphabetical order, was the Apothecaries Company, but with respect to which no claim or objection was made. The next was the Armourers and Braziers. Mr. QUIN, on behalf of Mr. Daniel Towers Shears, claimed to have his place of residence altered in the list, he being there described as of Bank-side, Lambeth, whereas his place of abode was at No. 4, Lawn, South Lambeth. Mr. MYLNE did not see the necessity of sending in a claim for an alteration of the residence. Mr. Quin observed that it was the opinion of Mr. Travers, of the Reform Club, that the place of business was not the place of abode, and in the course of the re vision he (Mr. Quin) thought some very good men would be struck off the lists because their place of abode happened to be not within seven miles of the City of London. On the revision of the list of the Bakers' Company, Henry Greely, described as of Goswell-street, was ob jected to by the Tories on the ground that he had changed his residence. It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that the notice of objection was signed by " Chamberlain Hinchcliffe, Stratford-grove," that Mr. Hinchcliffe had not lived there since last July twelve months, but that in the list of the Dyers' Company he was described as of that place, although now residing at 6, Vicarage-ter race, Stratford. Mr. Trott therefore submitted that the objection to Thomas Greely must fall to the ground, inasmuch as the Reform Act required that the objector should state his real place of abode. Mr. Quin—lle could only put the description that is in the list which entitles him to vote. Mr. Trott—l have signed my notices of objections differently ; and therefore all your objections arc wrong or mine are.—(A laugh.) Mr. MYLNE did not think it very material one way or the other. Mr. Trott said that by the 48th section of the Re, form Act, it was provided that " every person who shal object to any other person as not having been entitled on the last day of July then next preceding to have his name inserted in any such livery list, shall, on or before the 25th day of August in the present and in every succeeding year, give to such other person, or leave at his usual place of abode, a notice in writing, according to the form numbered 3 in the said schedule K." In the form of such notice were the words "place of abode." It was admitted that Mr. Hinchcliffe's place of abode was not at Stratford-grove, and the terms of the notice of objection, therefore, were not according to the Act of Parliament. By another part of the Act, the Revising Barrister was expressly precluded from expunging the name of a voter, unless the regular notice was given ; for the words were " and such Bar rister shall retain on the list of voters for such city or borough the names of all persons to whom no objection shall have been made in the manner hercinbefore mentioned." Mr. MYLNE.—I suppose all the objections are signed by Mr. Hinchcliffe. Mr. Quin said they were ; and he would admit that Mr. Hinchcliffe did not live in Stratford-grove either now or at the time of signing the notice, but in his opinion it was not very important. Mr. MYLNE—It would be rather important if I were to decide all your objections were bad.—(Laughter.) Mr. Trott remarked that a party had applied to them to know where the objector lived, because he wanted to pull his nose (laughter), but they could not inform him, as a wrong place of abode had been given. Mr. Quin heard the simple answer to the objection made by Mr. Trott was, that Mr. Hinchcliffe had no right whatever to object to the vote of any party, unless lie gave his name and residence as it appeared in the list. The object in giving the address was that the party might see the objector's name was on the list. Mr. MYLNE observed that if the objection of Mr. Trott had not involved a great many cases he should have disposed of it summarily. Mr. Quin contended that the description of Cham berlain Hinchcliffe being precisely the Fame as in the list of the Dyers' Company, the terms of the Act of Parliament had been sufficiently complied with. Mr. Wansey said that it had been decided over and over again that the omission of the residence was fatal to the objection, and surely it could 'not be said that a misstatement did not invalidate the notice. Many parties had applied to him as Secretary of the Reform Association, to know where Mr. Hinchcliffe lived, and some of whom wished to issue process against him, and others to inflict more summary punishment. Mr. Trott observed that Mr. Hinchcliffe had ac tually sent in a claim to be inserted in the list of the I Dyers' Company, on account of changing his place of abode. Mr. MYLNE was clearly of opinion that Mr. flinch cliffe had sufficiently described himself within the mean ing of the Reform Act. lie was not prepared to say that either description would not have been sufficient. All that was wanted was such a description as would enable parties to ascertain whether the person objected to was the person described in the list of voters. Here there was no possibility of misleading, because it was found there was a Chamberlain Hinchcliffe described in the list of the Dyers' Company in the same way as he was described in the notice of objection. It ap peared to him (Mr. Mylne) to be not very material, because no real m,stake could be made. If there had been any intentional error the case would have been different. All that the Court had to attend to in the case of a liveryman was to see that he was properly described in the list. He was therefore of opinion the notice was a good notice. The further consideration of the case of Greely was, however, postponed till to-morrow, in order to afford time to prove that he resided within the seven miles, it having been stated to the Learned Barrister that he still lived in the neighbourhood of Goswell-street. Another objection having been made by the Conser vatives to the vote of a Liveryman, the notice being signed in the same manner as in the preceding case, Mr. Trott said that it would probab l y save tim e instead of objecting, to the notice in every case, he at once protested against them, and he hoped the Revising Barrister would take a note of such protest. Mr. MYLNE said he would do so. In the course of the day similar objections to the notice were made by the clerks of different Companies, but they were told by the Learned Gentleman that ho was of opinion the notices were sufficiently correct for all the purposes of the Act. is generally war." It talks of the noble exertions of the Cabinet to uphold nobly the honour and interests of France mitten in all its acts, in the levies of men, in the preparations of every kind, and in the ordonnances of extraordinary credits by which it so courageously engages its responsibility. Now what is all this pretended fuss and pretended alarm about ? There may arise, says M. THIERS through his Journal, a consequence from the e-ecution of the treaty the most threatening to Fiance, and this dreaded com sequence is the partition of Turkey. To suppose that England would be a party to any such plan is to betray the most complete ignorance of the whole course of her policy, and is directly opposed to the object of the treaty, which M. 'l'l-HERS and his Journalist know. We have no hesitation whatever in accusing the French Minister, through his Journal, of keeping up the warlike excitement of the French for some sinister purpose. Let us at the same time tell him that he is thereby making himself responsi ble to all the peaceable inhabitants of Europe, and if he become odious to them, who now constitute the great interest of the world, by detected foolery, he will soon be driven back to his original obscurity. We regret to see the Journal des Debuts joining in the absurd cry, and endeavouring to excite a feel ing a gainst England on account of the even{ in Spain. At present the French party and French interests are not:in favour in Spain, and the Debuts, instead of attributing that to the conduct of the pre sent Ambassador, in advising and acting against public opinion in Spain, refers it all to the Duke of VITToRIA, surrounded by English officers? Must we, on the same principle, attribute the conduct of MEHEMET ALI, or his attempts to encroach on the SULTAN, to the French officers who surround Lim ? We will not imitate the bad example of the Debars, because we are des irous of cultivating peace between the French and English. We are sure that it will not be broken, notwithstanding the efforts of those statesmen and journalists who act and write more from on recollections than a due appreciation of the present peaceful habits of both nations.

These will be read with interest, as showing the extreme reluc tance with which the QUEEN REGENT yields to the Juntas (if consulting ESPARTERO, who sup ports them, can be called yielding), and the spirit with which these bodies act, in defiance of the established Government. The proclamation from the Ayuntamicnto of Barcelona the inhabitants, breathes nothing but fury against the Camauilla and foreign influence. " A faction," it states, " unworthy tobelong to the Spanish people,because it is under the dictation of foreign influence, obstinately attempts to plunge you into a gulf of misfortunes ;" and, in another place, " the attack has commenced upon what presses most intimately on our popular rights —on our municipal liberties. Let us rather perish a thousand times, fellow-citizens, than consent to such iniquitous usurpations." It is needless to say spirited expressions like these will be responded to by every city in Spain, and f-'n the flame against that " foreign influence" which the Liberal party have had so many good reasons to dread. Seeing the vast force raised against her—the army, the national guards—the municipal authorities, and, what is greater than all, the national pride, the QUEEN REGENT must of necessity yield, or take her de parture to Paris or Naples. But even if she con sent to all the demands of ESPARTERO and the Juntas, little hopes can remain of anything like a cordial union. Suspicions of her fidelity to the Constitution, nay something more than suspicions, have been raised, and there will be a constant jealousy of her conduct on the part of the people, V. ho have risen almost unanimously "to sive the c onstitutional institutions, the throne of ISABEL 11., and the national independence, against the traitors who are attempting to construct upon their ruins the edifice of tyranny." The next des patch from Valencia, is looked for with much anxiety. The Madtid Gazette of the 7th contains the following judicious remarks on this untoward event: The Queen should know, and ought never to forget, that anarchy and that republic, which certain parties affect to apprehend, can never arrive in Spain. It is a crime against the generosity and good sense of the Spanish people to accuse them of wishing to forget their proverbial fidelity to their Kings. If her Ma jesty would but regard the perfect order which reigns in the capital—although deprived of its regular Go vernment, so contrary to democratic violence—she would hasten to respond to the wishes of freemen ex pressed in a dignified manner by the Provisional Junta ; she would thus put an end to the agitation which per vades men's minds, and which may cause irreparable injury. The cause of the throne would gain more by such a course than even that of the people.

The Guardia Nacional conveys news f; ern Valencia of the date of the 4th of this month. It app.lars ' that the political Government of that province had published a report respecting the events which have recently taken place in the capital of Spain. The report concludes by declaring it to be the intention of the Government to adopt the most energetic mea sures for the restoration of the Queen's authority at Madrid, and for the repression of any other attempts at insurrection. The Eco de Arragon of the Bth announces that the province of Huesca had imitated the example of Sara gossa, and appointed a junta of Government. The lyuntamientos of Calatayud and Ayerve had likewise adhered to the programme of the " movement," and the latter having assembled the battalion of the National militia on the 6th on the square of the Constitution, the authorities and citizens renewed their oaths to the fundamental compact, which they swore to defend with arms in hands, even at the sacrifice of their lives. Accounts from Bayonne of the 10th September state that Don Firmin Arteta, recently appointed Minister of the Interior, has not proceeded to Madrid, preferring to await the result of the present crisis in Bayonne.

(Before Mr. Justice MauLE and Mr. Baron ROLFE.) William Biggs and Daniel Biggs, father and son, were indicted with stealing on the Ist of the present month, one ewe, the property of Mr. George Johnson, of Barking Side. William Biggs pleaded guilty. Thomas Fletcher, the shepherd to Mr. Johnson, stated that his master had 200 sheep all safe on the Ist of September, at eight o'clock in the evening. On the following morning he missed one ewe, and upon searching about he discovered the skin, with the head hanging to it, the feet, liver and lights. Was certain the skin be longed to the missing ewe, as it was one of their own breeding. Henry Stammers, a police constable, proved finding the mutton in a tub under the bed at the elder pri soner's house. The legs and shoulders were cut up in the same way as butchers usually cut them, but the re mainder was cut into smaller pieces. A sack with blood on it was also found at the same time, and the prisoners had been met going towards their homes. At that time the elder prisoner had a sack under his arm. Mr. Justice MAULE here stopped the ease, observing that there was no case against Daniel Biggs, but one (From the Leeds Times.) " One half of the world," it i s said, " does not know how the other half lives." That this statement is very much within the truth, appears from a lately published Parliamentary Report, containing the evidence taken before a Select Committee on the health of large towns. For we can scarcely conceive it possible that the facts there brought to light could have been generally known to the public, without having led to the immediate adoption of measures of improvement and relief. Did the people of Leeds, for example, know that there existed about and around them, on every side, hot-beds of malignant fever, from which deadly contagion daily extended into the dwellings of the rich ; that the deaths of thousands were annually caused by the filthiness and narrowness of our streets, the crowded state of the homes of the poorer classes, the entire absence, in many quar ters, of every thing like drainage and sewerage ; that hu man beings were crowded into small, dark, and damp rooms, where mothers, perhaps newly become such, and infants naked and hungering, lay huddled indiscriminately together upon straw or shavings, with scarcely a rag to cover them; that from such dens, where vice herded with want and destitution, issued immorality and crime, to be revisited on those upper clases whose neglect and mis government had chiefly caused then :—We say, did the people of Leeds clearly understand that such fearful evils existed in their close vicinity, they could scarcely Fail to take immediate steps to effect their cure and ex tirpation. Yet, that most, if not all, of these supposed evils do exist, appears as clear as day from the Report on the Health of Large Towns now lying before us. In the North-cast Ward of Leeds, which is almost entirely inhabited by families of the working class, only Three streets are furnished with efficient sewers ; twelve have them partly ; thirty-eight have none ; and the state of forty is unknown, but most probably in these sewers ire also deficient. At the same time, the cleanness of the surface of the streets is, from want of proper fiscal regula tions, very greatly neglected. The accumulation of pu trescent animal and vegetable substances infects the air, to many places, with pestilent exhalations. In Leeds, ~here are whole districts of unventilated dwellings, of ill paved and sunless streets. Efficient paving, cleansing, and training are seldom or never thought of and enforced. The movements of the atmosphere are intercepted. Flth and offal of every kind is allowed to stagnate in the wet streets until an active poison is generated which arematurcly destroys a large proportion of our popula tion. There is no exaggeration in this statement : it is oorne out by indisputable facts. The second annual report of the Registrar-General of births, deaths, and narriages, wonderfully corroborates the state:ncnts made in the course of this evidence, regarding the un healthy condition of the dwellings of the working classes. Thus, in manufacturing towns, the mortality of infants (whose tender frames are peculiarly suscep tible to the influence of all physical agents) is nearly double of what it is in purely agricultural districts! In Leeds, the proportion of deaths of children under three years of age, is 447 in every thousand ; while in the North Riding of Yorkshire the proportion ire only 282 in 1,000 I In other words, about half the deaths which occur in Leeds are those of infants under three years of age—a most fearful proof of the poisonous condition of the atmosphere breathed by our popula tion. Putrid and malignant fevers are also exceed ingly prevalent, and more especially in those parts of the town which are the dirtiest and the worst venti lated. The following extract from the evidence of Dr. Williamson, of this town, delivered before the Se lect Committee, is highly instructive on this point : " It is stated, that in the Boot and Shoe Yard there are a number of rooms, inhabited by 340 inhabitants ; the number of rooms being about 57, with an average of six persons to each room ; the annual rental being 214/. That there are three out-offices, from one of which, during the period of the cholera, 75 cart-loads of soil were removed by the order of the Commissioners, and which is reported not to have been cleaned out since. There is no water within a quarter of a mile ; very few of the inhabitants possess vessels in which to hold or to attach water. Is that a correct description ?—lt is. If the Committee will allow me, I will add a fact or two in confirmation of the statement. The Boot and Shoe Yard terminates in a cul de sac ; there is no free pas sage of air through it : there is no means whatever for the regular perflation of the yard. From that yard I have reason to know, as one of the physicians of the Fever Hospital in Leeds, that cases of malignant fever are continually being sent to our Fever Hospital. " Does that arise, in your opinion, from the neglect of these regulations as to the cleansing, drainage, and ventilation ?—ln some instances I have reason to be lieve that the fever did originate in that neglect ; when, for instance, persons in previously good health visited and lodged in the houses, and were very soon afterwards seized with fever, and those who nursed them, from healthy districts, were in succession at tacked ; and in further confirmation of the fact, I may state, that in an adjoining yard, where all the circum stances of the people are very similar, there was one 'louse which for many years had been the seat of a fever of a very malignant character. Three years ago the attention of the Commissioners of Police was di rected to the effect of the extremely imperfect drainage of the surface water ; at that time a better escape for the refuse water was provided, and since that period, I be lieve, we have not had a single case of fever from that particular locality." We have heard of numerous instances which fully bear out the testimony of Dr. Williamson. There is now one lodging-house in Wellington-court, in which cases of malignant fever are constantly occurring, and from whence the poisonous contagion propagates itself abroad on all sides. This lodging house consists of two MOMS separated by a thin wooden partition ; which rooms contain fifteen beds, which are sometimes occu pied by three, four, and six tenants a piece. A medical gentleman has informed us that in one bed alone he has witnessed six children and two women, a moving heap of destitute humanity. Malignant fever cases occur in that house in all seasons. The plague (for what else is it ?) is there a perennial lodger. How can it be otherwise, amid the rank poison generated by so much confined and concentrated human effluvia ? Another case has been mentioned to us, of the con stant occurrence of fever in a district in Harper-street, near which was an undrained puddle of stagnant water. On a representation of the matter to the local autho rities the pool was drained, and the fever was imme diately banished from the neighbourhood Indeed, we feel assured, so generally may the fever be traced to the want of efficient drainage and sewerage, that a correct map of the fever districts of Leeds might be made out from a map of the sewered and drained districts—fever being prevalent where drainage is imperfect, and fever being proportionally absent where drainage and sewer age are complete. We make a further quotation from the evidence of Dr. Williamson : " Can there be any doubt that the circumstance which you have confirmed with respect to the cleansing, draining, and ventilation of this district, has the effect of making any disorders of a contagious nature more virulent, and less likely to be cured in that district ?—I have had extensive experience in reference to that locality, favouring the dissemination and aggravation of cases of malignant disease, and I have no doubt what ever of the injurious operation of consequences to the public health. " Are the inhabitants of the district which has been described chiefly of the working or the poorer classes ? Almost altogether so ; the great proportion of them arc the settled population, but they are mixed up with a large portion of the more vagrant population. " Does not the character and station of the inhabi tants and persons inhabiting this district more particu larly call for attention in the drainage and cleansing of the courts and close places in which they live ? The scanty means of support on which many of them subsist, and their peculiar exposure to the causes of mental and physical depression, render them under such circumstances of imperfect drainage and cleanliness, very liable to serious diseases, and seem peculiarly to call for precautionary measures." Dr. Williamson, subsequently referring to the ex treme deficiency of sewerage and drainage, states that he is quite satisfied, from a very careful observation, that the health of the inhabitants suffers very materially from this cause, " not only in the occasional breaking out of malignant diseases, but in the deteriorating effects of foul air, and noxious emanations from the surface, upon the general health and comfort of the people. t n o l :t a b u ! higNhloyt prejudiciallessiiriporteaffnetntiss of such elect • 11 V bevidence a o s f loitnetshseupyoonuntghe:forals of the population, and especially tanu p m or b ti e o r n o o f f ch tl i l l e .

D o you think that it has a more peculiar effect upon the young population who are just coming into lif e , and who arc exposed to the evils consequent upon being ,in these dirty, neglected, and miserable dwellings and c ourts ?—I should conceive it has a less prejudicial effect of but, a u t , m p o h r y a s l e k a i l n l yd, it u p i o s n m t o h r e e c i n h j i u l d r r i o e than upon n us to the adults ; ear lier periods of life. D o you not think, that if the children go to any schools where they may be well-instructed and well taught, where cleanliness and decency of deportment ma y be enforced, and where ki n d manners towards each other may be taught them, that the evil examples they find immediately around them, and the neglect of clean liness and decency they see every moment about them, tend to neutralise very much anything that they might learn at the scho o l s ?—I h ave no doubt of i t ; and I believe such filthiness and disorder exp erienced at home loosens the domestic) principle so m aterially as to op°- of suspicion. The Jury then acquitted Daniel Biggs, and Mr. Justice MAULE sentenced the prisoner, William Biggs, to eighteen months' imprisonment and ha:d labour George Grimes, a youth 19 }•cars of age, described ,n the calendar as a poulterer, was convicted of burg. lariously entering the dwelling-house of George Fin more, Grove-street, Commercial-road East, and stealing thereout eleven live tame pigeons, his property. Mr. Baron RoLFE sentenced him to six months' im prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. FoncEnY.—Danicl Davis, a rope-manufacturer, wilt has for rnetny years carried on a respectable business Old Fish-street, was indicted with uttering a forged bill of exchange for 1081., purporting to be accepted by a person named Hinclicliffe, with intent to defraud Sa muel Fox Stevens. The prisoner at first pleaded not Guilty, but subsequently retracted that plea, and con fessed himself guilty. Mr. C. Jones, who appeared for the prisoner, said that he had sent 801. to Mr. Stevens, who had dis counted the bill, and promised to send the remaining 2SI. This, together with the recommendation of the prosecutor, coupled also with the fact of the prisoner having nine children wholly dependent on him for sup port, he trusted would induce the Court to take tit( case of the prisoner into its merciful consideration. Several highly respectable persons gave the prisoner most excellent character, and Mr. Baron MAULS sentenced him to the smallest amount of puishment allowed by the Jaw—Two year'. imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) William Phillips, aged 18, convicted of stealing thirt7 yards of linen, the property of Sarah Garden, was sen tcnced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. John Robertson alias i'FAlistcr, was indicted for stealing one shawl, value 2s. 6d.;the property of Sarah Preston. It appeared that the prosecutrix was walking along Tower Hill on the 2d of Septemter, at about seven o'clock in the evening, when she felt her shawl snatched off her shoulders. She turned and saw the prisoner, and immediately crave him in charge to a policeman, who took him and found the shawl under his arm. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he was drunk at the time. The Jury found him Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT said that it was a most audacious robbery , and if the prisoner had been guilty of the slightest violence towards the prosecutrix the Court would have felt it to be its duty to transport him ; as it was, the sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned for twelve months, and kept to hard labour. James Poole, an omnibus driver, was indicted for stealing four traces, a cigar box, and other articles, the property of Win. Morgan. The prosecutor is an omnibus proprietor, and has an office at 5, Portman -street. On the night of Angus; 17th last, his premises were broken open, and some traces and a cigar-box stolen. The traces and cigar box produced he believes to be his prope n rt Lisson-grove. y. Ann Redding ke e p s a lodging-house i Prisoner lodged with her. lie always conducted him self properly. Less than a week before he was taken into custody a friend came to his lodgings and slept there one night. ginton took the pr isoner into Police-constable H ed custody five days after the robbery. He foua hannd the traces under the prisoner' s bed, wrapped up in d kerchief which he supposed belonged to the prisoner. The COMMON-SERGEA.NT—Why do you suppose the handkerchief belonged to the prisoner? Witness—Be cause the traces were wrapped up in it. Mr. CLARKSON—Then, Sir, you have no business to say it belongs to the prisoner. Witness—There was also this coat found at the pri soner's lodgings, marked with paint, which is now pro- I duced. The premises of the prosecutor had been fresh painted. (Toe coat having been shown to the Jury, they said that the mark was so faint that it was inipos sible to say whether it was a paint mark or not.) When he asked the prisoner how he came by the traces, pri soner answed " Never mind." Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the defence, and animadverted severely on the manner in which the policeman had given his evidence. He contended that the property might have been, and most probably had been left at the prisoner's lodgings by the friend who slept there. Several witnesses were called who had known the prisoner for many years, some of whom had employed him, and they all gave him an excellent character for honesty. The COMMON SERGEANT having summed up, The Jury expressed a desir e to have the witness Red ding recalled. She was recalled accordingly, and stated that the stranger slept with the prisoner on the Satur day befole he was taken into custody on the Monday morning ; that she did not sweep out the room on the Sunday, nor could she say whether or not the prisoner's nd brought in a bundle with him, as she did not let frig .hem in. The Jury found the prisoner Not guilty. GUILDEIALL-(THIS DAY EMBEZZLEMENT.—John F. Nelson, a very respect- i able looking young man, was placed at the bar on the charge of receiving various sums of money belonging to his employers, Messrs. Shirk and Son, house-furnishing ironmongers, of No. 10, Cheapside, for which he never accounted, and procuring goods without their knowledge. A great number of witnesses were present to prove the case against the prisoner, who was remanded in the absence of the prosecutor. SMASIIING.—An elderly ma n named Thomas 2.ll‘Car thy, who was dressed as a mechanic, was brought up in custody of a Metropolitan Policeman of the A division, on a charge of coining. The constable stated that from information he re• ceivcd, he apprehended the prisoner in the city on sus picion of being one of a large gang of coiners who at one time lived in Westminster. Upon searching him he found seventeen base half crowns on his person, and 9s. Gd. in good silver. The policeman said that he waited on Mr. Powell, the Solicitor to the Mint, who requested that the Alderman would postpone the inves tigation until Saturday. The prisoner was accordingly remanded to Saturday Bell's Life in London of Sunday, the 20th inst will contain the best account of the Doncaster Races, with a Portrait of the winner ( Launcelot), as PROPHECIED irl Bell's Life in London of Sunday last, Sept. 13.—The price of Bell's Life in London is Fivepence. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.--The last dahlia and miscellaneous flower show for the season, of the South London Floricultural Society, took place yesterday at this delightful place of recreation and amusement, and, though the day was unfavourable, great crowds attended. The flowers and plants were disposed on tables under large tents, so that both they and the company were fortunately protected from the rain, which once or twice descended with much vehemence. The show was a very fine one, and on a very large scale. In addition to the dahlias, there were some rare specimens of South American and tropical plants, some grapes of very splendid growth, a large as sortment of apples, pears, and more homely, yct scarcely less valuable fruits, and some good pine. apples. There were, in addition to the large collection of wild animals, a military band, and an extracrdinary eruption of " Heels." The medals distributed to the successful growers of fruit and flowers were more than usually numerous and valuable. Indeed the Society, from the goodness of its rules, the proper manner in which they are enforced, and the ju dicious and liberal manner in which its funds are ma naged, has secured a reputation and position which enables it to be munificent in the encouragement of the objects for which it is instituted. The following are the names of those who obtained the gold and the larger silver m edals. For the best 24 dahlias, Mr. Headly, the gol d medal. For the second best Mr. Barrup. For the best collection of miscellaneous plants, Mr. Coutts, the gold medal. For the second best collection, Mr. Atlee, the large silver medal. For the best 40 dahlias for nurserymen and gar deners, Mr. Mountjoy, the gold medal. For the second best collection of 40, Mr. Williams, the large silver r medal. For the best specim en plant, Mr. Cooper, t large silver medal. THE TIMES AND THE NEW ZEALAND RE PORT.—Though our Contemporary has been slow in cor recting the error into which it was betrayed as to the R - pars of the Committee on New Zealand, it has at length done it effectually. It contained this morning a lead: - on the subject, of which the following is an extract : We deem it right not only to exonerate the Committee from the imputation of having adopted and brought up a dis graceful Report, but also to apprise such misguided per sons as may still be disposed to identify their destinies ith the New Zealand Company, thst the territorial usurpa tions of that Company are, a t this moment, as far from being ratified as ever," INSALUBRIOUS STATE, of LEED. 1 rate very detrimentally on the characters of children.

There can be no question as to the deleterious con sequences of public neglect or local misgovernment upon domestic morals. The dirtiness of the streets commu nicates itself to the dwellings of these who reside near them. Cleanliness ceases to be esteemed as a virtue. Families crowded together into narrow rooms by degrees become blunted in the sense of decency and self-respect. The young grow up devoid of that delicacy of feeling, in which virtue finds so much of its defence ; and coarseness of mind, manners, and language, from being daily familiar to childhood, at length becomes the con firmed habit of maturcr years. -- COURT CIRCULAR• ---- 4 9. ---- WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Therese of Hohenlohe, rode out in a phaeton into the Park, followed by the Countess of Charlemont, Lady Charlotte Dundas, Hon.

He formerly commanded the 80th Regiment, and was advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-General May 27, 1825. Gen. Gorden was one of the 21 officers receiving reward pensions for distinguished services, which leaves a vacancy to be filled up in the list by the General Commanding-in-Chief. Her Royal Highness the Piincess Augusta, we understand, notwitstanding her extreme debility, still pre serves the good 11,w of spirits natural to her from her jouth. Clarence House, yesterday, from four to six P.M , was thronged with the carriages of the principal nobility in to an, who inscribed their names in her Royal High ness's book. The Earl of Howth will entertain a large party of sporting noblemen and gentlemen, during Howth Park Races, which commence on Tuesday next. Lord Brougham, in company with the Earl of Thanet, attended Ashford Races, and appeared in excel lent health and spirits. Holcroft's sterling comedy of The Road to Ruin was played at the Haymarket Theatre last night; and from the cordial manner in which it was received by a full house, will, we have no doubt, be frequently repeated. THE PEOVEB. MURDER. -The silent system so strictly observed at the examinations of the various per sons in charge on suspicion of this murder, has been con tinued during the past week. We, however, learn that the worthy Chairman of the Quarter Sessions has at last expressed his belief that it would be better to have ono public examination, prior to sending the accused for trial at the next Cheshire Spring Assizes. This public exa mination will, in all probability, take place on Mr. Har per's return from Dublin, where he has gone for the pur pose of making further inqu'ries. It has been ascertained that Murray purchased a watch on the day after the mur der, for thirty shillings, in Liverpool ; also, that on his arrival in Dublin he spent about 41. in payment for a stock of hardwEre, which it was his intention to have car ried about the country for sale.—Liverpool Times.
