!:VENING EDITION. THE SHERIFFS AND THE COURT OF ALDERMEN. The Court of Aldermen have come to the determina tion not to pay a farthiag of the expenses incurred by the Sheriffs during the imprisonment of these officers by order of the House of Commons, and the refusal has given rise to a great deal of conversation in the city. It is well known the Sheriffs were most strongly en couraged in the resistance they made to the command of the House of Commons in the case of Stockdale and Hansard by the members of that Court, and it is very currently reported that Mr. Sheriff Wheelton re ceived the most positive assurances from several members of their body that every farthing of expense incurred by them during the period of their con finement should be defrayed by the Chamberlain. The frequent visits of the Aldermen to the Sheriffs' room adjoining Westminster Hall, while the Sergeant-at- Arms was acting as gaol-keeper, confirmed the worthy Sheriff in the opinion that the moment he and his col league should be permitted to shift. their quarters to the more congenial atmosphere of the City, the amount of the bill, which we understand exceeded 5001., should be liquidated, particularly as their worships never re tired from the apartment without having their whack of good eating and drinking. It turned out to be a mis take, however, and "no mistake." The bill was handed in to the Court of Aldermen, as we are cre dibly informed, about a fortnight ago; and, after hav ing been stared at in silent surprise by some of the members, referred to a Committee, consisting of the whole body of Aldermen. The Committee met, and, upon hearing the items of the bill read by the clerk, appeared to be altogether ignorant of the meaning of the affitir. Out of rezect, however, to the shrievaity, they desired that the books should be searched for pre cedents. The proper officer, upon examining the documentary authorities of the corporation, found that there was no instance of the payment of the expenses defrayed by a Sheriff confined by the order of the House of Commons fur a breach of ate privilege of that House, committed in supporting the privilege of the citizens of London ; but he ascertained that the corporation had made an offer of the disbursement of the charges to which a person of the name of Crosby was subjected during his confinement for disobedience to the tyrannical command of the third es tate, which offer had been refused. Armed with this precedent, the Committee of Aldermen thought the wisest course would be to use it according to the eco nomical construction that no money had been paid ; and they accordingly reported to the Court that they entertained the highest respect for the Sheriff, a feel ing which they had expressed in the strongest manner by a vote of thanks unanimously passed (and written in the most beautiful manner by Paton, the greatest penman in the country) ; that they considered that the names of those two excellent officers would go down to posterity in one of the brightest pages of civic h;Ftory ; but that it was quite impossible for the com mittee to recommend the payment of expenses which were incident to the shrievalty, and with which there fore the Court of Aldermen could not presume to in terfere. We are given to understand that this report was read in a closed Court of Aldermen, when the Sheriffs were present, and that Mr. Sheriff Evans, the moment the delicate communication was made, rose and declared most solemnly that he never had directed any bill to be scat in to sent in to be defrayed by the Court, and never contemplated any application of the sort. The Court after a few observations highly complimentary to the Sheriff—for to do the Aldermen justice, they can give gentlemen credit for conduct they approve in execeJ - ingly liberal phraseology—agreed to the report, whicn was crdered to be carried into execution forthwith, thus confi-Tning to the Sheriffs the privilege of paying all their Own expenses.—Stenday RYLEBONE VESTRY. On Saturday, at the ordinr.ry weekly meeting of this Board, Mr. DANIELL in tho Chair, on the Vestry Clerk reminding them that they had last year passed a rcsoluton that 120 vestrymen should annually put in their claim to be placed as voters upon the County Register, Mr. KENSETT moved that the Clerk be authorised to ply it, the cLairo for the Vestry. Mr. GlBsox seconded the motion, but feared that if allowed the votes, the number of Tory Vestries was so great that the establishment of the principle would do more harm than good. . Oa the question being put it was lost by a large m•jority. Ur. FLOOD, the Clerk, read letters from Sir C. Scott And Co., thc bankers,otrering to make up the parochial accounts to the end of the month of June, kind to keep them from that ti in conformity with the crder of the V.cc-Chanceitor. each rate being separate!y drawn on, and the bankers requested a cruderence on the subject. • moved that a vote of thinks be presented to Mr. for the handsome manner in which he efLred to rescue the parish from difficulty, by proposing 1.;.; pay treat' the amount of the county-rate. Tt4e Vestry liren drew a compari,son between the coAtt:t and that of Lord Ken)on, highly condemnatory of that noLternan. The motion being seconded, Earl MaNyEas said that, al_.bough he concurred in the approbation of the Ch he must strenuonily di-sent from the wlnecessary condemnr.tion of his Nol2!e Et;entl, Lord Kcn3on. Th.ia motion Navin; been unanimously carried, Mr. S )(len moat rl, r)ntl Mr. Cochrane seconded, a motion that this res,.:Lltion advertisLd in the papers. The resolution Was adopted, and Mr. Daniell re turned :hanks in au appropriate speech. Mr. THEonAiD tnevtAl that a treasurer or treasurers, under the provisions of the Local Act, shou:d be ap poiatt!d, and that a deputation should wait upon Sir tliaude Se , tt. and Co., to a-k thcin to accept the office. Mr. KENSETT suzg:-..t0 , ..i that, in the present nude ci.led state of the law proceedings, the appointment had ~:tter be postponed, and that they should v.-ait until Lord Chan:ellor's decision was known before they ac! rl!, 'fhis was w!optcd, and the V, stry adjou:ned. HOR}UJIIS OF CHANCERY. A reverend gentleman, of the name, and, as was said, 1 of :i.e lousily of a certain admiral whose memory stands couq;erious in the annals of our national fame, and who was elevated to the peerage by the name of the cape otT which his grand victory was achieved, was the principal of a banking-house ia --s Lire, possessed of a large landed estate, who, dying, left only one son and a daughter, each of whom, however, had large families. To his son and daughter lie bequeathed ell his real and personal estate (but left his solicitor and a neigh bouring clergyman trustees and executors) with re mainder and reversion to his several grandchildren. Toe testator died in 1824 or 1825, but, instead of his children or grandchildren acquiring a property in pos .r.ession for their comfort and maintenance, the idfairs of the deceased were carried into Chancery !—Mark the frightful consequences. '1 he banking-house became bankrupt, and has not paid a dividend, nor is likely to do so (although it is said to be eventually solvent !! !), until the affairs of t h e deceased party get out of Chancery ; meantime, two gentlemen, his partners in the firm, have, for nearly fif teen y cars been, and must remain, possibly, ruined men ! The creditors of the bank are indulged also, and equally s.) the private creditors of the deceased, in the dead sea of Chancery, which, like the bogs of Ireland, seems to have no outlet, " His children !—but here my heart began to bleed!" —(as Sterne beautifully apostrophizes of the Captive) ay, his children oft, and again applied to the trustees for the means of subsistence for themselves and fami lies, but unavailingly, for the invariable answer they re ceived was, that until a surplus was declared over and above the liabilities of the Bank and the other liabilities (including, of course, some thousands of pounds for legal expenses), it could not be assured that there was any surplus for distribution from the estate ; and by this legally-incontrovertible but immoral subterfuge, the testator's children and grandchild ren were left4en niTess! The grandchildren were sent to school in expectation of the means of payment, and were several times got rid of in default of funds for that necessary purpose. The son and daughter struggled with difficulties under that hope which " deferred maketh the heart sick," and eventually, the son (a captain of militi a ), ava ili ng i n his exigencies of facilities for discount, trespassed over the strict legal bounds of paper currency, and found it expe dient to quit this country ; he died in Belgium, wi t h out receiving any portion of his inheritance : what has become of his widow, the trustees (!!!) perhaps only know. The grandchildren have grown up to the estate of man and womanhood, and have become parents, but have not yet possessed the estate of their progenit or , upon which — though yet obscured in the clouds of the future—their hopes depend.—Woolsack. The Hon. Charles Howard has left town to stand on the reform interest for East Cumberland, in the place of Major Aglionby, whose awfully sudden death we have re corded elsewhere. Mr. Howard is well known to his frends as a gentleraan of profound knowledge, as one who has within him such mental force as must raise him to a high place in any deliberative assembly ; and most happy . shall we feel in seeing him beside•his brother, Lord 31orpeth, in the great council of the nation. W e nee d scarce ly add that Mr. Howard has been for some time a confidential private secretary of Lord Melbourne—. Observer. MAIL CART DRIVING.—Lord Lyttleton had an almost miraculous escape on Friday evening from fracture of limb, if not loss of life, arising from the dangerous velocity with which the mail carts are now driven. The Noble Lord was driving at a slow pace in his cabriolet, along the corner of Chester-street, Grosvenor-place, when a mail cart dashed furiously towards him, and before his Lordship had time tO pull up, the horse, a fine spirited grey, was struck by the cart, which caused it to rear nearly upright, bringing the back part of the vehicle level with the ground. His Lordship, with great presence of mind, threw up the apron, and sprung out, 1 without sustaining the slightest injury. The tiger jumped down when the collision took place and secured the horse, otherwise the consequences would have proved fatal. i PROGRESS OF MODERN TR A.- VELLING. Our fathers were—and that within the memory of men—contented to convey their goods from tcwn to town oa pack-horses. Narrow roads, which 6,1 ely ad mitted a string of these beasts, burdened with the needs of many towns, run on over hill and d le, and often were found worn deep between steep banks by the persevering traffic of ages, and overhung by trees, which had spontaneously sprung and grown over them, rendering them cool and pleasant. But the affairs of our worthy ancestors became sensibly on the increase. The string of pack-horses, slowly progressing over the welds and through forests were found not equal to the demands of commercial exchange and speed ; and they set their wits to work, and 10, Pickford's and Pettifor's waggons, and others, their contemporaries, appeared, piled up in ponderous stateliness, and drawn by horses in bulk next to elephants. For their convenience, the old roads were deserted as too narrow, or filled up as too slumberously profound. New roads, of an airy width were laid down, and Mr. M'Adam showed him self, with his necromantic hammer and pebble-guage in his hand, and coaches came galloping after him at ten miles speed per hour, loaded with eager and still im patient negotiants ; roads of granite, or of limestone, however smooth, or however wide, or however covered with waggons, coaches, mails, horsemen, and the in finite variety of carriages of pleasure, travel, and pa rade, which now appeared on them, were found too few ; and canals were cut ; locks—wonderful things in those days—were invented ; and heavy boats and light barges hastened to convey their freights of living things, and things for the livin,g--market goods and market people—to the places where they were wanted, or where they wanted to be. Well done, Englishmen ! Things were come to a pretty good pass, it was thought. People said, wondering, to one another—lf our grand fathers could but rise from their graves and see all this, how they would stare. But it was soon found that the population and the needs of the country had outgrown even these accommo dations. There was a cry for more conveyance and more speed. Some talked of balloons, some of veloci pides, and some of perpetual motion. The old and the orthodox said—" Let well be. Things move fast enough. There is no rest, no repose, no steadiness in this generation—all is hurry, hurry, hurry. It is per fectly distracting ! They even looked back to the old hollow roads and string of pack-horses with affec tionate yearnings. Nevertheless, a set of pig-headed fellows were busy with their brains ; and began to ut ter strange speeches about the powers of steam. It was a thing which was to work our mines and mills, impel our ships, and convey us, with the velocity of a comet, from one place to another. Old men, znd wise men too, laughed at such Quixotic vapourings ; 3et spite of their laughter, there were heard great hammer ings, and filings, and fizzings, in the workshps of Watt and Bolton ; and presently that mighty monster—STEAM ENGINE—was seen pulling up buckets of water and heaps of ore out of the earth, and turning a thousand spindles in our factories. It has become locomotive, has mounted the roads and the ships prepared for it, and is now flying from town to town and country to coun try, with us and our concerns, in a manner so wonder ful, that we shall 50011 find ourselves past wondering at anything. Do we not ride at the rate of thirty miles an hour and grumble at such a snail's pace—step over to America in ten days, and think it about five too long—and hear news from the East Indies in little more than a month ? Well done, Englishmen ! as our fathers said, so say we—that is pretty well for another fit.—l dawn Hewitt. A TALE OF MISERY. The following distressing case has been brought under our notice during the last week, and we relate it, partly hoping that some charitable persons may be induced to relieve the sufferers, partly to show to those who so strenuously assert that the poor are well off, what is the real condition of many of them. We believe this t o be by no means an extraordinary case. On one of the coldest and wettest days of last winter, we saw, by the side of the Cheddon road, a little girl, about eleven years of age, cracking stones. Oa inquiring, we found that the child had been put to this most ungenial employment by its parents, who were on tine verge of starvation. The father had lost a finger, had been laid up by rheumatism, occa sioned by exposure to wet, and then by inflammation of the eyes, produced by poor living ; the mother was on the eve of confinement ; a little boy and anothcr younger child composed the family ; their parish allow ance was miserably small, searce enough to keep body sod soul together ; they all slept in one moat, the children pigging in one corner, covered only by a single blanket and having no night-dress. They could not afford to buy clothes, however necessary, and the only washing was when occasionally, after they were abed, the mother would wash the ria they wore, and by a Light's toil cobble them together for the next morning's wear. Their food consisted of bread and water for breakfast, potatoes for cFnner, and a crust for sapper. Of this coarse fare they could not be per mitted to eat their fid, and the mother was obliged to allowance them, starving herself to stay their hungry clamour. Animal food they never tasted. The children's growth was stunted for want of sufficient nourish ment.. Shortly before we found them, the eldest child, girl, had died, evidently from the effects of starva tion ; for though direct starvation is rarely a cause of bath in this country, it is so indirectly, thousands d ) ing,- every car from diseases produced want of proper and sufficient food. Well, to shorten the miserable tale, by assistance timely given th e y were ' enabled to weather the pressing distress of the moment ; two children obtained Ivork, and an infant was born, and clothed by charitable aid. We beard - nothing more of them until, a few days ago, the mother came to us, wasted to a :kelek , n. It appears that the man I is unable to obtain but scanty wages, and to such extravagant prices have all the necessaries of life lately ad+anccd, bread, potatoes, sugar, tea—that the wages c..lr..ed were wholly inadequate to supply food, and tLe union will not relieve thc able-bodied, bo;cover small their er.rnings. First, bread bad been placed 11,yond their reach ; then, potatoes were at such a I price that they could not buy even trough of them, and as a last resource the poor creatures Lad ben living upon—what do cur readers suppose ?—liore be:ns boiled. To complete their mkery, the child who worked at the factory was taken ifl in the measles : in such an atmosphere, and in such a state of body as Ruch food must produce, the disease took a fatal turn ; for three nights the mother had had no sleep --she had not one of the comforts required to minister to sick ness ;—her own miserable tare had produced wounds in her person that almost prevented her from moving, and At the moment we write, such is the condition of ail honest hard-working man and his family in boastful England. Who does not feel that there must be something wrong in the laws of a country where such things can be—where a man cannot I y his labour ma►in ta:n his family in comfort ?—Country Paper. COMMERCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.—The business of this bank is to be resumed on Wednesday next. Viscount Palmerston has appointed the Hon. Henry Elliot, son of Lord Minto, the Precis writer, at the Foreign Office, in the place of Hon. Edward Bouverie. SINGULAR ACCIDENT IN HYDE PARK.— On Friday afternoon, as Daniel Sutton, Esq., a County Ma gistrate residing at Kensington, was driving in his phaeton through Hyde Park, when in that part of the road opposite the great gates of the Cavalry Barracks at Knightsbridge, a por tion of the road suddenly sank under the horses' feet, burs ing one of the animals a depth of full three feet. The earria ,, e most providentially was not overturned, nor any person hurt, but the hose, which was got out with great difficulty, was found to be so seriously injured that it was deemed necessary to kill it. It was a fine animal worth 70 guineas. The accident it was discovered bad been caused by the sinking of the crown of an old well, the existence of which was not before known. PROSPECTS OF THE HARVEST IN IRELAND. —The present is a most important and critical period, in re gard to the prospective harvest. From personal observation, we are enabled to report very favourably of the promising state of the crops in the counties of Antrim, Derry, Donegal, Fermanagh, Sligo, Cavan, Monaghan, Tyrone, Armagh, and Dawn. 'The wheat crop is said to be short in the straw; but it appeared to us healthy, and is generally in ear, without any lodgment. The oats are most luxuriant , perhaps too m uc h so , should dry weather n ot immediately succeed ; generally, this is the best prospective c ro p we have ; indeed, in many districts, farmers are cropping off the heads, with shears, to relieve the plants. Rye and barl e y are excellent, and both in ear. A greater breadth of potat oes has been planted this year than hao hitherto been known; a nd the y are put into the ground in a more scientific manner than we have before seen. Drilling ha s become almost universal ; and the wildest districts of bog and mountain have been, this season, i converted into potatoe plan tations. The failure talked of s very partial. Flax, par ticularly Donegal, promises u ncommonl y well. Nothing is Wanting but dry and warm weath er to , secure almost an abun dant harvest; but that is wanting.—Aortliern Whrg.

He had been poorly for some time past. He was formerly a hard drinker, but turned a teetotaller a few months ago, w h en h e j oined the East London Society in connexion with the British and Foreign Temperance Society. Since then his health declined, and he eventually took to his bed. On Thursday last he appe are d much better ' • but on Friday morn ing, about six o'clock, wit ness h ear d him moaning from pain, ' s n which he felt between his shoulders .

The ause of death arose from an unusual quantity of fluid in the cavity of the hea-t. Witness has no doubt but that the deceased has been sinking since lie abstained from stimulants.

The foreman, after the verdict wa s re ' turned, stated that the deceased had taken the house at North.. street, but that since he had been there, he had scarcely sold anything, and he had been obliged to part with all his furniture A subscription of nearly 21. was raised, of which the Comet gave THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 13, 1840. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT at , ' CHANCERY, JULY 11. THE ATTOILNEr.-GENERAL V. DANIELL,—APPEAL. The defence of the Vice-Chancellor's judgment was continued to-day. Mr. JACOB u rged that the Marylebone Vestry were not authorised to make rates for less sums than the annual parochial expenditure, and that that body could not raise money on the credit of the rates to pay off the deficiencies. The rates raised in 1840 could not be applied to the payment of debts contracted in 1839. The LORD CFAANCELLOR Said that 60,000/. had come into the h ands of the bankers since 1839 ; and, if that were so, 'whey would naturally pay themselves, as was the custom in banking establishments, and then the debt would be Of this year, instead of the last. Mr. JACOB contended that, as the bankers were no parties in the suit, his Lordship could not assume any defence founded upon their acts, the acts of the vestry alone coming before the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Even, by your own show ing, the retention of the injunction can effect no good to your clients, and I can see no use in continuing it. Mr. JACOB and Mr. RUSSELL contended that the ac counts being kept in a mass, instead of each rate being kept and accounted for separately, was contrary to the Act of Parliament. After some further discussion, in a conversational tone between the Counsel on both sides, The LORD CHANCELLOR requested to be furnished with affidavits of the exact amount of money received by Sir Claude Scott and Co., on account of the parish • of Marylebone since December, 1839, and stated that he would hear the reply on Wednesday next. V ICE. CHANCELLOR' S COURT, JuLr 11. CALDECOTT V. HARRISON. This was a case of the construction of a will. The testator by his will left various legacies, and, after de siring his freehold and copyhold estates to be sold, he bequeathed the residue to his two first cousins, J. and F. Clubley. By a subsequently made codicil to the same will, he says, " I do hereby give and bequeath all the rest and residue of my moneys and personal estate, after the payment of the legacies mentioned in my will, to all my cousins by my mother's as well ashy my father's sle, to be equally shared amongst them, share and share alike ; and, in case of the death of any of my cousins before my decease, I desire that the child or children of such cousins shall receive the share that would have fallen to the parents, had they survived." It was contended by the plaintiff, who was a second cousin, that he and others similarly related were entitled to share ; on the other side it was contended that first cousins aline were meant by the will. The `'ICE• CHANCELLOR said that the word cousins simplicitcr, meant first cousin, for, although others fur ther removed were cousins, yet they would be called second or third cousins ; in the wilt the words first cousin alone occur, and he must therefore bold that it :vas the testator's wish that they alone should take un der the bequest. He must therefore decree that the first cousins only were entitled to come in under the devise. Mr. K. Bruce and Mr. Roe appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Richards and Mr. Elmslcy for the defendants. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JULY 1 1 . (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and Common Juries.) ?.ITTLE V. MORE. Mr. Watson and Mr. Henderson conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt and Mr. Words worth that of the defendant. This was an ac tion brought to recover compensation in damages agaist the defendant for having broken and entered the house of the plaintiff, and seized divers goods be longing to him. It appeared from the plaintiff's case that he had become the occupier of No. 70, Snow-hill, he having purchased the interest of a person of the name of Hart. He was carrying the house on as a beer and coffee-shop, and had a very flourishing busi ness, when on the 30th of November the defendant sent in a person who pretended to distrain for 451. ; the plaintiff offered to pay 23/. being the whole amount of rent which he owed, but the defendant would not take less than 451. The man remained in possession for a week, and then on a Saturday he left ; but on the fol lowing Monday the same parties returned, and finding the deer. locked, they broke it open, seized the goods, and afterwards sold them. The defendant's case was, that the plaintiff, having taken the interest of Hart, was bound to pay any arrear of rent which Hart owed, he ha.,:' therefore distraincd for the whole sum due ; but that the plaintiff had by force ejected the old man who ,as left in possession, - and when be sent on the Monday morning the plaintiff refused to allow the men to enter, and, therefore, he had been compelled to force tine door. One of the pleas, however, having been de murred to, the evidence which the defendant's Counsel said he could have produced could not be gone into. Lord Denman having summed up the case, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. THE Jury —About a quarter to four o'clock, the Jury having retired to consider their verdict, the officer proceeded to call the names of the persons summoned in older to form a new jury; nine persons, however, cn'v answered, and it was stated to the Court that several of them bad never attended, although they had been summoned several times. Lord DENMAN then said that those who had been re-summoned and had not attemled would be fined 51. for their non-attendance on the first day, and 40s. for each day afterwo.rds on which they were called and did nct attend. The public should know that there was no limit to 1110 fine, and that if they did not attend 3 much heavier fine would be imposerl. Inquiry was ilia: made for the summoning officers, but they were not to be found. The Sheriff was then asked for, but that gentleman was not %% ithin call. Lord DENMAN said it was latnentable ; he should like the public to see a bill of costs, and to know tvhat expense parties were put to in having their witnesses, &c., in attendance from day to day, and then not to be able to have their case tried. It was rulnims to many individuals, and was no; to be endured. The Sheritt, whose duty it teas to have a jury to try the case, was not here ; he would, therefore, be fined t2Ol. ; and if Jury men did not attend, in future heavy fiats would be irn posed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 11. (London Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Speci:d Jury.) COLLYER V. STENNErr. This arcs an action for the disturbance of a right, which the plaintiff claimed as a tackle porter, of un shipping, lading, and carrying, except in the case of aliens, all goods and merchand ze landed in the port of London. Mr. Serg,'ant Talfourd, Mr. Thcsiger, and Mr. Hen dcrson, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Channel, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Montague Smith, for the defendant. The defendant, who was a wharfinger, landed a cargo of oil at Buckle's wharf, without the intervention of tackle-porters. The defendant contended that the plaintiff had no right : the wharf in question was on the Surrey shore, within the port of London. By a charter of the city of London, of the 14th Edw. IV., and a subsequent charter of the reign of Charles 1., the corporation granted the right of " tackling goods laden in London from the water of the Thames." The cor poration, by their bye-laws, gave the tackle-porters power over particular goods. By the testimony given by the lightermen, porters, and other persons who bad been long acquainted with the water-side, who spoke to the general custom of employing tackle-porters, it was shown, until the last few years, they had never heard of any objection being made on the part of the wharfingers. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL made an able address to the Jury, and the Learned Judge summed up at consi derable length. The Jury, having retired for a short time, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is. Mrs. Hawkins asked if the sale of threepenny beer by others in the neighbourhood did not affect her business? She replied that it certainly did, upon which the man remarked that this must be her own fault, as she could very easily manage, as well as some of her neighbours, to make up beer to sell at that price. She told him that their customers were such excellent judges of beer, that it would be useless to attempt to impose upon them any thing but a genuine article. The man upon this re marked that he had been a publican himself for many years, and had been ruined by the sale of cheap arti cles, and, therefore, felt deeply for those in the trade who lived in neighbourhoods where competition was carried to such an extent as to sell beer for 3d. per quart, and concluded by saying that he could make up such an article for 3d. per quart that would puzzle the best judges to detec t it. Hi s manner was so specious that Mrs. Hawkins unfortunately consented to his making up half a butt of beer, for which he stipulated to receive ss. Having received permission, he brought a stone bottle containing about three quarts or a gallon of what afterwards appeared to be a mi x t ure o f sugar and salt, and having mixedit up with some water, poured it into the beer, bet at the same t i me l eav i ng a portion of the liquor in the pail ; this be directed should not be disturbed, but left in the same state until the Thursday following, when he would call again for his money, and to see ho w th e b eer went on. On the following morn ing, however, two strange w t h a e ke s n eemed to have place, for on e a x perfect ciseoffi c knowledge t o o f the whatlio house, who entering the cellar they proceeded to the butt into which the mixture had been put, and a l so to the pa il. Some days after this, two persons called at the de fendant's house, and after alluding to the circumstance of an information having been laid against him, representing themselves as reporters belong to the Court of Excise, demanded five guineas as a suppression fee, or other wise they would expose the matter in the newspapers. On the application being made, the defendant referred the parties to his wife, and she told them that she had been entrapped into the offence, and that having a large family to support, she could not afford five guineas for such a purpose, but rather than have the matter go be fore the public, she had no objection to pay a couple of guineas. This they refused, observing that their usual fee in such cases was ten guineas, but in consideration of the scandalous manner in which she had been led into the offence, they would take half that sum, but no less would they accept. Their demand, however, was not complied with, though they had called several times to urge it, and declared that unless they were satisfied before or after the trial, they would send the particulars to the newspapers. In conclusion, it was urged that he (defendant) had been made the dupe of a foul conspi racy, which was perfectly apparent from the facts—first of the person who had mixed up the beer never calling for his fee, nor entering his house again ; in the next place, two strange officers coming to his house on the following morning, a circumstance which had never taken place before, and finding the things so opportunely prepared for them ; and thirdly, the calling of two persons representing themselves as re porters belonging to the Court, with the view of extort ing money from him, while as reporters they could have had no knowledge of the information until it came be fore the Commissioners ; unless, indeed, they were in league with the individual who was the cause of its being laid ; and under all the circumstances he (the defendant) intreated the Commissioners would closely investigate the matter, and particularly to question the officers who had been examined as to the source from whence they derived their information. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked whether the per sons who had represented themselves as reporters to the Court, and in that character endeavoured to extort money, were present ? A. person present replied that both of them, with a third individual, all of whom appeared to be taking co pious notes of the case, had been in Court for some time ; but, on hearing the allusion to them read from the statement, all scampered out of Court in such a hurry that one went without his hat.—(Laughter.) Mr. Mayow admitted that it certainly was very strange and somewhat suspicious that officers from an other district should have gone to the house of the de fendant, and there find the ingredients which formed the subject, and substance of the information. lie called Erford, the first witness, who, in reply to his questions, said he had his information from a certain quarter, but from whom he would not say. Mr. Mayow observed, that he could not press the witness further, as he was not bound to give up the name of his informant. Mrs. Hawkins said she was prepared to substantiate the statement put in by her husband in any way the Ccurt might think proper, and declared that her hus band knew no more about the transaction until it was discovered than anv of the Commissioners themselves. ac countable for ay The Commissioners, under the peculiar circumstances what dhande ta b k e e li n ev p ed lac s e o . , but still he was of the case, mitigated the penalty to 2.01. ; but it was the opinion of many present that they would dismiss it. order of the Court is, that if it is •not sitting when Mr. Dunn is apprehended, the officer shall bring him before a Magistrate. Is the Middlesex Sessions now sitting ? Inspector Shackell—No, Sir. Mr. COMBE—I see the Court further orders that Mr. Dunn shall find bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties of 2501. each, to keep the peace, and to be of good behaviour to all her Majesty's subjects, and par ticularly towards Miss Burdett Coutts. for two years, and he is required to give 48 hours' notice of bail. (To Mr. Dunn)—Now, Sir, are you prepared with your bail ? Mr. Dunn—l am ready to enter into any securities to keep the peace, but I will first take the liberty of addressing myself to you. Mr. COMBE—I see in this warrant you are described as a barrister-at-law, and therefore you must well know that I have no discretion in the matter. All that I have to do is to call upon you to find bail. Mr. Dunn—l think, Sir, you have some discretion. You must have the parties before you who exhibited the articles of peace against me, that I may have an op tunity of cross-examining them, All the proceedings at present have been taken behind my back, and I claim my right to cross examine the parties. Mr. Comex—This warrant upon which you are brought here contains an order of the Court, which I have read to you, and all I have to do is merely to carry those orders into execution. Mr. Humphreys—Exactly so. Joseph Shackell, the Inspector of the G division, was then sworn, and stated—The gentleman now before the Magistrate is the person named in the warrant produced as Richard Dunn. I took him into custody at eleven o'clock last night, at No. ]O, King-street, St. James's, and as the Court of Quarter Sessions is not sitting, I brought him to this Court. Mr. Humphreys—l apprehend I have now done all that is necessary, and I am ready to receive the names of Mr. Dunn s securities. Mr. Dunn—l have been taken by surprise. I will enter at once into my own recognizance in 10,0001., if that will do, but I am not prepared with bail. Mr. Humphreys—l am not authorised to make any compromise. Mr. CoMBE—And if you were I could not sanction such an arrangement, or become a party to it. I must comply with the orders of the Court. Mr. Humphreys—So far from Mr. Dunn being taken by surprise, he had a notice of the articles of the peace being exhibited under my own hand above a week ago. Mr. Dunn—l must say this is the most brutal pro ceeding I ever knew. I can pledge my solemn honour I never insulted Miss Coutts, and I am desirous of meeting the ease fairly. Mr. COMBE—WeII, I believe all I have to do is to commit Mr. Dunn. Mr. Dunn—lf that is your determination, I hope you will make some difference in the treatment I shall receive in prison in case lam not able to get a habeas corpus to-night. Mr. Comex—You will be sent to the New Prison, Clerkenwell ; I do not know the treatment there. Mr. Dunn—l wish you would send me to the Queen's Bench prison. Mr. COMBE—I have no power to do s). If I were to send you there, they would not take you in. I can only commit to the New Prison, the House of Correc tion, or to Newgate, which I can do by a special Act of Parliament. Mr. Dunn—Will 3ou allow me to go before a Judge and swear an affidavit, in order to move for a habeas corpus. Mr. COMBE—I have no such power. Your are in the custody of the officer. Mr. Dunn—Will you allow the officer to go with me ? Mr. CoaIBE—I can't make any order or give any directions upon the subject. Mr. Dunn—lt is a most brutal proc?eding. I should not be above a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes in going and making the affidavit. I can claim that in dulgence as my right, and Lord Denman has declared once that you have no power to detain me in custody. Mr. Comex—l repeat that I have only to comply with the order of Court. The Clerk—And you are not bound, Sir, to know anything beyond what appears on the warrant. Mr. Dunn—Will you allow me to have a copy of the letter upon which the articles of the peace were ex hibited. Mr. Humphreys—l understand that application to be m ide to rne, and I bee to say the regular mode o f appl3ing for a copy will be to me professionally. Mr. Dunn then directed his solicitor to see to it, and the defendant was removed in the custody of Wadding ton, the gaoler, to the outer yard, and in the course of the afternoon to the new prison, Clerkenwell. SFIRIT of the PUMA - 6 JOURNALS FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OT SATURDAY. ( From the Globe.) . .. A curious discussion on the nature and effects of the Temperance movement in Ireland took plaee last even ing in the House of Lords. A question from Lord Westmeath to Lord Normanby relating to a proclama tion issued by the Lord Lieutenant respecting the pro cessions of the Temperance Societies, and which we in sert in other column, was the occasion of developing anew the statesmanlike wisdom of which Lord West meath► is known to possess a vast fund, if not an abso lute monopoly ; and which he pours forth with a pro fusion of liberality by no means checked by the ridicule he excites among those not sufficiently enlightened to estiawe its worth. The same cause which has trans formed a drunken into a temperate people, and induced a preference of " slip-slop" to whiskey, may cause the pel lucid streams of Lord WestmeMh's fervid eloquence to be regarded with ind.fference, while Father Mathew and D. O'Connell are listened to by thousands with breathless attention. Lord Devon administered a rebuke to the Noble Ma•gei:a for his attempt to discourage, so far as his puny powers extended, the successful efforts of Father Mathew to rescue his countrnen from the debasing habit of drunkenness ; and bore his testimony to the ex tensive good which had resulted to vast multitudes of the Irish people from the philanthropic labours of that devoted man. The secra of Lord Westineath's hos tility to the Temperance movement is—not that it has in its constitution or tendency the slightest approach to a political character, hut that it raises the poor long• besotted Irish from the physical and moral degrada tion in which they were fast bound by the national vice ; so that they arc now the more able to appreciate the value of there rights which pertain to them as men, and more capable of those moral exertions by which they m iy obtain and secure them. (From the Courier.) The question of Church Patronage in Scotland, which has bten so long before the public, may now be considered as in the hands of the Ministers. The Earl of Aberdeen last night withdrew, and it is now left to Government to make the hest they can of the present state of the law. At the same time, we are free to ad mit that the higher classes of Scotsmen are by no means desirous of Parliamentary interference in this matter, and his Lordship himself acknowler:ges that the measure was adverse to the views of a majority in the Assembly, "on the ground of its unwar rantable interference with the spiritual inde pendence and proper jurisdiction of the Church." From this we infer, not that the measure might not he an imerovement in the condition of the Scottish Church, but that public opinion in the North is not yet rife for amelioration ; and, therefore, we consider that the Noble Earl is perfectly right in withdrawing his Bill for the present. It is also to be considered that her Majesty's Ministers have opposed to it every obstruction which lay in their power, and that, therefore, they and the General Assembly are alone responsible for the evils in the existing law which Lord Aberdeen has eloquently deprecated, but whether justly or not we do not intend to inquire. It is impossible, notwithstanding these ad verse circumstances, to withhold our approbation of the motives and conduct of the Noble Lord throughout this troublesome business. _ (From the Standard.) They who most distrust the permanent influence of the Temperance Societies must still be thankful for the present good ; and where bad motives do not lie on the surface, that good must be gratefully accepted, without a too curious investigation of the purpose of those who have produced it. In this country, therefore, we o ug ht to give an unqualified approbation to the efforts making to correct the morals of the people. W e wish that we could say the same of Ireland, but we cannot forget that the motive put in the very front of their recommendations by the O'Connell press in advocating temperance was the necessity of abstaining from fermented liquors as a part of the discipline of rebellion. The battle of Ross, they said, was lost to the rebels of 1798, in consequence of their intem perance ; therefore all who contemplate engaging in similar battles hereafter ought to learn in temperance societies to forego the use of intoxicating liquors. This may have been well intended. The O'Connellites may have thought it wise to appeal in a good cause to the bad dispositions of their friends ; and conscious of the predo minant influence in their souls, may, without intending to promote rebellion, have adjured the multitude to a better habit of life by the hope of successful treason— a fraud which may be called pious, but hardly can be considered cafe. Now, when to this avowed motive men have been compelled to add the military organi sation of the Irish teetotallers, their vast musters, their regular parades, measured marches, and im posing field-days —even those least nervous and least subject to suspicion may naturally have conceived some alarm ; and that the alarm has been pretty extensive appears by the Irish Lord Lieutenant's pro clamation, lately published in this journal, and re marked upon in the House of Lords last night by the vigilant and zealous Marquis of Westmeath.

FLANDERS TCH iMAI BRUSSELS, JULY 9.—The Duke and Duchess of mours are expected at Brussels in the middle of next sse , c k. ALEXANDEIA, JUNE 19.—0 n tke 16th instant 1 had th • pleasure to write to you by way of Trieste, but as tn•ii will pr.bably reach you sooner by way of Malta, I repere what I there stated. Mehemet Mi, on his return frotrA Cairo on the 14th, received by the French packet b2at,. the very important news of the fall of Chosrew Pacha, as well as the congrculation of most of the great men a tt Constantinople and of the Sultana Valide, who held out hopes to him that it would now be easy to come to a 3 arrangement without the intervention of foreign povvors. On the 16th, at noon, Sami Bey, Mehemet Alt's prf , rate secretary, embarked in the Tuscan steam-boar Hadshi Babi for Constantinople, with instructions to induce the Porte to a speedy conclusion of peaco. Thi3 stearr-boat, of which Mehemet Ali is the chief proprietor, left the harbour unexpectedly, so that none of the Consuls could send a report to Constantinople of the instructions of Mehemet Ali. The Pacha had coo municated his intention of sending Sami Bey to Constan, tinople to negociate. Count Medem told him that this would lead to nothing; Mr. Hodges and Mr. Laurin were. neither for nor against it. From the accounts whisk Mehemet Ali has received from Constantinople, he has no doubt that his demand will be acceded to. In this case Sami Bey is to make an offer to the Sultan to place the son of Ibrahim Pacha at the head of an army of 50,000 men at his disposal, and to assure him that the Turkish fleet and his own were ready to sail fo Constantinople at the first notice. Semi Bey has also taken 5,000 dollars in ready money. An expedition against Syria is preparing. It consists of 16 ships, with 12,000 men, under the command of Abbe Pacha, Mehemet Ali's grandson, and Governor of Cairo, it is to sail to-morrow morning for Beyrout. Abbas Pacha is expected from Cairo to-day. I corm of think that the troubles in Syria are the cause of the exvedition—it may rather be conjectured that it is intended to enable Ibrahim Pacha immediately to leave Syria, in case the Sultan should think his aid necessary a: Constantinople, which is not impossible, as the state of the Turkish empire appears to be very precarious, and every body does pretty much what he thinks fit. The presence of 50,000 Egyptian troops at Constanti nople, and the two fleets in the Bosphorus, would check, at least for the present, all further interference or demon stration on the part of the Ru;s:ans. These are the ideals expresed by the Pacha. When Mehemet learnt, at Cairo, the breaking out of a new insurrection in Syria, he wrote a long letter to Emir Beschir, in which he asked! him the reasons of it. " If," said he, .1 the insur rection is caused only by the circumstance that Ibrahim Pacha has required the Druses to deliver up their arms, that originates in a mistake. I never gave my son orders to take back from the Druses the arms that had been distributed among them. But if they revolt be cause they will not pay the lawful taxes, I assure you that I will myself attack you with 100,000 men. 1 wil drive your mount4ineers across the frontiers. You know ma at all events. I send my grandson Abbas Pacha to Syria,. with whom you have no." to make arrangements." Emir Beschir replied that he ansv7ered for the Druses, who have in fact submitted. The Maronites are still in array. They blockade Saide and Beyrout, and have even attacked the Laurette of the latter town, having learned that powder and arms were deposited there. An Egygtian schooner, however, defeated their intentions by a well directed fire. The ships that are gone to Syria are mostly Turkish frigates, which have retained a third of their crews, the other two thirds are Egyptian sailors. Osman Bey, Captain of a Turkish ship of the line, commands the squadron.— Alleienteine Zeitung.

Mr. Hawkins, landlord of the Whito Hart and Fountain public-house in Rosemary-lane, appeared be bre the Commissioners of the Board of Excise at their Court in Bread-street, City, to answer to an informa tion laid against him for an infraction of the Excise-law. John Ertord, a Surveyor of Excise, in his examina tion by Mr. Mayow (Solicitor to the Board) stated that in consequence of information received, he, on the first day of last month, proceeded to the house of the de fendant, and on examining one of the butts in his cellar, he found the top quite wet, and he had no doubt that this had been occasioned by something being put into it, and in a pail close to it he discovered a small portion of a mixture consisting of sugar, salt, and water. The lat ter he put into a bottle, and took it away with him, as well as a portion of the beer in the cask he had just now alluded to ; and it was much reduced in strength and quality. In reply to the questions of the defend ant, the witness admitted that he had examined all the other butts of beer in the cellar, and found them to contain porter of a superior description. He also admitted that the defendant procured him a light to go to the cellar with the greatest possible alacrity, and that when the discovery was made, he expressed the utmost astonish ment, and declared he knew nothing whatever about it. William Thornton, another officer, who had accoiri panied the last witness, corroborated his statement. The defendant, when asked what he had to say in reply to the charge, put in a written paper, which he said contained the whole of the facts of the manner in which he, or rather his wife, had been entrapped into the offence far which he was brought before the Court. From the statement which was read by the clerk of the Court, it appeared that the defendant had been in business as a publican for upwards of twelve years, and that during the whole of that time not a single com plaint had been made against him ; but, on the con otrffiarcyo,rstohfatthheiscohoorutsew,haoshacodulbdoeboointetshteifiheadbitbyofthsousre- IseToyoiongofhihs his malt b li a ci d oo b r e , eanodalwthaye,s purity y d o fo f r h t i h s e s e p x ir c i e ts l : That in the latter end of May last, he, the defendant, had occasion to proceed to Hull on business, and during his absence a person who was a total stranger to him, but who it appeared had been two or three times in the house before, called there, and in a conversation with MiDDLESEX SESSIONS. On Saturday Mr. Carpenter sat at the Sessions house, Clerkenwell-gr,ten, to hear and determine several cases deeply affecting the respectability of several tradesmen. The proceedings were instituted by Mr• Chide, the inspector of weights and measures. Mr. Philip Grccdins, pork-butcher, in Cow-cross street, St. Sepulchre, was charged with weighing with an ❑n;ust balance. - - • Mr. Turner, an assistant to Mr. Childe, stated that be went into defendant's shop, when he was busy serv ing his cuitolterz, and on examining the sell , : he was weighing in, he found affixed underneath it a penny piece.

COMMITTAL OF MR. DUNN, THE BARRISTER. On Friday, in consequence of Mr. Richard Dunn, against whom Miss Burdett Coutts preferred articles of the peace, not making his appearance, as threatened by him, at the S,issions-house, Clerkenwell, Mr. BoLlkin applied to Mr. Wale-shy, the Chairman, And caused a warrant to be issued against Mr. Dunn for his appre hension. The warrant, which was signed by H. Wi than), Esq., and Arthur Smith, E3q., was placed in the hands of InspectorFrild,Sy he :vent haekell, in fthe pursuit of the Grlivision,andi the evening of defend ant. The Inspector traced Mr. Dunn to the St. James's Theatre, sitting in a box opposite to a private one occupied by Miss Burdett Coutts awl a party of friends. The officer watched Mr. Dunn out of the theatre, and followed him to the house of Mr. Hughes, a tailor, residing at No. 10, King-street, St. James's, where Mr. Dunn occupies an upper rcom. Upon being made acquainted with the ohject of the Inspector's visit, Mr. Dunn complained of being taken at that hour of night, it being then about eleven o'clock. Inspector Shackell said he was sorry to put Mr. Dunn to any inconvenience, but it was his duty to arrest him. Mr. Dunn was then removed in custody to the station-house, in Rosamon-street, Clerkenwell, and left in charge of Inspector Jervis. The prisoner expressed a wish to be allowed to sit by the fire instead of passing the night in one of the cells, but Inspector Jervis informed him that he had no power to accede to such a request. es it was against the regulations of the Police Commissioners. The officer, however, lent Mr, Dunn a great a coat, and the latter thanked Jervis for it, observing that he was the most gentlemanly man he (Dunn) had met w ith for a long time. The prisoner then evinced gre a t anx i ety to see the warrant upon which he was detained, which the officer very properly declined, and Mr. Dunn was shown into the lock-up. On Saturday morning, Mr. Dunn , for the first time, took his breakf as t in durance vile, and at 11 o'clock he was taken by Hatton-garden. He Shackell to t he p olice court at Ile was dressed a brown dress coat, black trousers an d d ress b o ots, a white hat, and straw coloured kid g l oves, an d his appearance excited the curiosity of a crow d o f pers ons. When Mr. Dunn entered the poli ce court, M r . Coombe , the sitting Ma gistrate, inqui re d hi s name ; a nd on hearing it, the prisoner was requested by Mr. Coombe to take a seat near the bench until the arrival of Mr. Humphreys, Miss Coutts' solicitor ; and at the same time a news- Mr. Dunn (t o M r. C oom be) paper was hand e d to hi m. -- I hope, nd n I did o t from any not attend a t t h e Middlesex disresp ec t t o the Magistrates, but because I Sir, you will n re o l t no re v a e d th th e e c r a e s p e or i t n t t l o iat th i e s g iven in the Timer of this case. I serve d a notice on Mr. Sergeant Adams, to e 4s '' si s ons yesterday , Bench, a thought it mi g h t b e a wa i ver o f my notice. I certainly consider this 11 very harsh proct‘e 0 , dinot and that I am a very persecut e d man. Mr. Dunn then proceeded to r ead the news p a p er until about o ne o'clock, when ho observed to the Ma gistrate, 6' I ha ve b een i n cus tody since eleven o'clock last night, an d I h ave had not hi n g but a cup of tea, and it is very painful waiting here so long. It is now one o'clock, and a s my attorney is here who served the notices on the Magistrates, I hope you will hear him and dispose i of the case." _ _ _. At this Moment, Mr. Humphreys entered the Court and took his seat near the Magistrate. Mr. COMBE, looking at a paper—This is a warrant against Richard Dunn. D o you, Mr. Humphreys, ap pear for the prosecution ? Mr. Humphreys bowed assent. Mr. CoMSE—I perceive this is a bench warrant, and contains an order of the Court, Mr. Dunn is called, upon to answer articles of the peace exhibited by Miss &nein Burdett Coutts, on the 29th of June, and the JOINT STOCK BANKS. 25,1100 8 per cent.
