0.91[V7 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURN 1 resoles THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAP. TINES.—Among the many speculative su s gges tions offered for Ireland, the public are alma est in danger of forgetting those essential conditions c b Irish prosperity about which there can be no di subt or speculation at all. Whatever laws, under fav ourable circumstances, may have a tendency to adr ince the interests of that country, it is very clear that nothing will work well, all will be wasted, and nee ad vance made, unless life and property are secured. Sec urity is the very breath of social existence. We mig ht as well expect a man to exist without sleep, cI. to breathe freely under the peine forte et cure of an tique barbarity, as that Ireland should thrive and develop itself while its vital organs are crushed by the incubus of terrorism. It is mere mockery for Ministers, and Viceroys, Secretaries, and journal ists, to goad on the landowners to duty, to residence , to enterprise, to useful expenditure and personal det lie], if all the time we are driving them to the very - iaws of the grave. They may reply, they will reply , as they have replied,—" Make our lives our own ; !give us back our own property ; protect us while we exe cute your orders, and then we will make the attetript." To this there is only one answer. If we choesee to put on others the perilous honours of a forlorn 'nape, we must bestow what protection we can. We protect our colonists from Kafirs and New Zealanders. Wherever we push our advances into the heart of bar barism or the wilderness, we tote care to afford Belch a basis of oreration that our hardy outposts may ai - w-ivs rely on the Imperial support. It would be folly to neglect these precautions in Ireland. We ceniaol, in reason and honour send the champions of loyalty and order into the thick of the foe, and then leave the two parties to settle it between themselves. It would be a standing disgrace to the nation were it to set the brave and loyal subject "in the forefront of the hot test fight," and then " retire from him that he may be smitten and die." There can he no doubt of a wide-spread conspiracy against the rights and laws of property in Munster, and in other parts of the islaiid. The sudden increase of crime evidences concert. Whatever may be said against the harshness of such a supposition, it is felt to he true by those who are too nearly interested to insist on the rigours of logical inference. "The Irish metropolis;' we are told, "was never so full at this period of the rear; every one who has the means at his disposal is flying the rural di. tricts, and seeking for safety in t.l). crowd of the city." Men who ' have heard their doom whispered long, who have seen the bloody lists of proscription, who find their fellow-victims falling around them., and perceive too clearly that the destruction of agents, process servers, interlopers, improving landlords, and all who offend against the agrarian code, is univer sally acceptable, are not in a position to argue. Self preservation dictates their course. Unless they have frames of iron—unless they will be ever on the watch, and fight night and day for their lives and their properties, they wi I fly. Nothing will hold them ; and we should he assuming an awful responsi bility if we should induce them to continue in the field against such fearful odds. It is very possible that they who are immediately and actually implicated in these crimes may be few. It is possible that few have attended the midnight council, given the fatal suffrage, cast the lot of murder, negotiated with the assassin, or struck the very blow. Were it so however, that would neither clear the people of a moral participa tien, nor releese the State from the duty of Vigorous measures. There is every reason to believe that the mass of the Celtic population in certain districts of Ireland Wee as much part in the maintenance of a savage code as the minority does in enforcing the law of the land. Judge, jury, sheriff, executioner, and every other rank or shade of officer, constitute alto gether but an insignificant fraction of the people. Yet no one would hesitate to say that in England the execution of the law is the act of society. Grieved as we are to say it, we must say, that in the same sense, a certain lawless and sanguinary system is the combined act of the Celtic population. Major Mahon was murdered on his own estate, among his own people, and only a hundred yards from cottages occupied by his tenants. Three armed murderers had been lying in ambush some time un molested, and unmolested they retired after the bloody deed. The Major had long been known to be a doomed man, and on the fatal morning, we are told, the whole neighbourhood had been in a state of evident commotion, as if with the expecta tion of the horrible event. The same fatal mark , of safe audacity, and a previous general presenti• ment, characterise almost all the crimes reported. The people are never surprised. The result fulfils not only their ideas of what ought to be, but their actual expectations. Long before the execution the offender has been arraigned, his crime declared, the verdict given, and the sentence pronounced. The motive of fear is hardly enough to account for so great and universal a concealment as that which secures impunity to the murderer. Further, who could read the addresses lately ,delivered at Holy cross, and compare them with recent events, with out being struck with their evident connexion ? The murder of a hard-hearted landlord, that is of any one whe should not surrender to the present occupier the property of his land, was said to be a less crime than the tyranny it revenged. There is another still more painful sign of general complicity. Major Mahon had been reprobated from the chapel altars the very Sunday before his death, and abused as a tyrant and an oppressor; thus adding one more instance to hundreds proving the fearful import of priestly denunciation. The Legislature fcr these two years has dealt hard measures to the landowners, ex posing their estates to waste and their lives to danger. It is now the time to meet an evil more serious even than famine or pestilence. A murderous organization is to be broken and suppressed. We feel very sure that no measures, no powers, will he d e ni e d th e Minister, if they be only such as will really meet the occasion. It has been the fault of former Coercion Bills that they have been more vexatious than effecs tive, and if passed, have rather disfigured the statute book than repressed crime. The evils, however, are now undeniable, and as there exists the most unanimous wish to strengthen the hands of the Executive, it rests entirely with the Minister to say what shall be done. If we may venture to anticipate his course, he will first put in full force all the instruments of executing the law already in the hands of Government. He will take care that localities compromised in crime shall be brought under the eye of the Executive ; and that, when there is reason to ascribe a guilty knowledge, accompanied with a genera l i nterest in the perpetra tion of a crime, the accomplices shall gain nothing by its accomplishment. lie will th en sa f e l y ask that a population which combines to resist and neutralize the law shall be mulcted for a time of those constitu tional privileges proper only to the we ll- a ff ected citizen, and that ' the law shall he adapted to a state of intentional rebellion. The accomplice, the harbourer, and the concealer should be treated according to their several shares in the crime. We wish, too, that some means could be devised that should make the priest feel that responsibility to human law which he seems in some cases to have forgotten to the Divine. In this island, the least approach to an offensive personal allusion in the mouth of the clergyman subjects him to punishment. Extend the principle to Ireland, where personal allusions are too generally the prelude of death. Let the priest have some share in the re sponsibility of the crime which he has the credit of commanding or foretelling. Whether this be done or not, one thing is clear,—England will consent to none but whole and effectual measures. CHRONICLE.—If we have been rather less shocked than some of our contemporaries on learning the Papal condemnation of the new Irish colleges, it is not that we are at all favourably inclined to the principle of foreign eccle-iestical intervention in our domestic affairs. We quite agree with those who pronounce it an " impertinence' for an Italian eccle siastic, however respectable in personal character or political status, to interfere in such a matter as the secular instruction of B r itish subjects, on Briti s h territory, and under the provisions of a British Act of Parliament. Nor are we disposed to bate a jot of that ancient_ national protest, the gist of which is, taheaatirGsrien her own has the right to mana g e h e r own rev?twhin way , and recognises no concurrent j uris diction or potentate whatsoever. these real ms , i n any f ore i gn pr i nce bound t tsoever. At th e same t i me we hardly feel matter as some of our neighbours so v er y ser i ous a f ace on the n two disagreeable aspercnt eighbours have done. Of th e jn which th e b us i ness presents, one is not, un d er e circumstances, altogether open to British criticism,:annd the other is of too fa obnoxious emotion. The miliar a kind to excite m a obnoxious Papal rescript p Y iec, regarded aa ie cs f rd p o I Political ta h ir r no inter s as an irregular and offensive ference b a foreign priec a e n , d or' s ' point a ecclesiastical assumption mindedness. Lookinf g at it in the former sacerdotal view, we really do not see that we are ewnittTed to say much. We have no right to quarrel Pius IX. in his political capacity, fo r in thatheiapPacoiPtie we have not thought proper to recognise him. we had regular diplomatic relations the el ect i ve f monarch of central Italy, we should certainly be entitled to resent so palpable a breach of interna tional propriety as the attempt to prejudice a section of our own community against an Act of our own Legislature. As, however, we have deemed it wise to know nothing of any such monarch or monarchy, the Papal decree is, to us, nothing more than a sort of private letter, addressed by an eminent foreign divine to the heads of a religious community by whom his opinion is held in peculiarly high esteem. Viewed in this light, it is, of course, a fair subject of criticism; and we need not say that we entirely agree with those who have criticised it unfavourably. We con t sidete tlle opinion expressed in the document sllhOtreetery mistaken one, founded on erroneous rePmSeWionseand narr ow id eas , an d ca l cu l a ted to retardthelerogres s of intellectual and social improve ment. Wee.egret, likewise, to find that a potentate with whotii'we • hive so in, cm e and many sympathies and inte restsl whose political character and Al as iII2 SUN, career are the admiration of Europe, is, after all, as contracted in some of his ways of thinking as any ArchbiShop of Canterbury, or representative of Oxford University. It comes upon us as a dis agreeable surprise, that one of the most enlightened rulers of this century is willing to endorse all our British Protestant nonsense about "godless colleges." We are vexed to discover that Rome is so very much like Lambeth, and that Pius IX. thinks exactly what Sir Robert Inglis thinks on one of the greatest social questions of our age. That is all. It is a little disappointing to find that an able and large-minded prince is as weak, on the eccle siastical side of his character, as the British Pro testant prelates and politicians who used to denounce the London University, and who went up in a body to the Throne to record their abhorrence of unsectarian education. Whether this is altogether a reasonable surprise, the reader will judge for himself. At all events, we are not entitled to be very angry with Pope Pius IX. for adopting the favourite ideas of our own British Protestant bench of bishops. Wby,a year or two ago the Pope would have had the T imes with him. Our contemporary ought, by the way, to remember this, and be tolerant. How was the Pope to know that "diffusion of knowledge," and "godless colleges," had come to be articles of faith with those by whom they were not long since denounced as something worse than heresies ? We are not unaware of the practical inconveni ence that will attend this ill judged exertion of Papal influence. The late rescript will, of course, add considerably to the strength of that noisy and not very scrupulous party among the Irish Roman Catholic priesthood, by whom Sir Robert Peel's scheme cf academic education has been, from the first, so intemperately opposed. It is now more than ever dubious whether the new colleges will he able fairly to root themselves in the esteem and confidence of the classes for whose benefit they were especially intended. We are sorry for this; but few of our readers will wonder at a result for which we have all along felt it right to prepare them. Heartily as we appreciated the liberal purpose of the Bill of 184.5, we never attempted to please ourselves with the expectation that that mea sure would be successful. We said at the time that Sir Robert Peel had begun at the wrong eel—that he set about his noble task under the most ill-chosen of conditions—that he neglected inriluable facilities ~ Ihich were reedy to his hand, and went out of his wav to brave opposition, where he might have counted on quiescence or sympathy. By simply throwing open the honours and emoluments of Trinity College to all Irishmen, irrespectively of cre:l or sect, the Minister would have at once established on an impregnable basis the principle of uosectarian academic education. No Pope woul ever have pronounced against that. No priesthood would ever have agitated against that—though possi bly a portion of the priesthood might have looked with jealousy on so • decided a triumph of liberal ideas. f hat would have been redressing a Roman Catholic grievance, instead of creating one. By thus offering to the educated Roman Catholic laity of Ireland full religious and social equality with their Protestant countrymen, Sir Robert Peel would have silenced op position into neutrality, and warmed up inditY,rence into enthusiastic co operation. We have always deeply regretted that this simple and effectual course was not adopted. We especially deplore that such a potentate as Pope Pius IN. should have contributed so large a Aare towards realising. anticipations which certainly did not rest on the hypothesis of an en lightened and reforming ruler presiding over the counsels of the Vatican. MONEY-MARKET and CITY NE WS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 18 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. I Ofd. per ounce fur standard trold, gives an exchange of 25 60 ; and, the exchange at 'Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By aclvices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4351 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ,change of 13.10+; and, the exchange, at Iltunhurgh on L , mdon at short being 13 12, it follows that gold is 0 80 per cent. t:earer in London than in Ilamburgh. The English Funds opened this morning at an im provement of an eighth on the closing prices of yes terday, and a considerable advance subsequently took place, which was maintained up to the termination of business. The first quotation of Consols for money was 831 to from which, owing to a succession of purchases by the public, they steadily advanced to 841 to 1. For the account they began at 831 to 1, and left off at 84+ to I. Aloney for short periods continues to be freely offered in the Stock Exchange at 4 per cent. At the Bank it is understood the de mand has greatly diminished, and out of doors also the market is much easier. There was h good supply of foreign bills offered on 'Change to-day, which, generally speaking, went off currently at rates rather lower than those of last post. There has been a more quiet feeling in the City to day than has been witnessed for some time, and no failures have been announced either in London or from the country. One house, whose liabilities are believed to be comparatively small, was alleged to have stopped, but we have received a letter from the partners stating that the report arose from a tem porary difficulty, which they hope to arrange in the course of aday or two. Advices from liamburgh received this morning re port the rate of discount 5i to 6, with money some what easier. At Antwerp, at the last dates, the rate was 5 per cent., but the su pply was no t abundant. The Hamburgh steamer has not brought more than 20,0001. in gold, the Lubeck boat, which was to have left St. Petersburgh on the 30th of October, not having arrived in time at Travemunde. We are glad to state that' Mesrs. Boyds and Thomas, whose suspension took place on the 2.1 of October, have been enabled to resume business. The trade of the house is chiefly with Ceylon, and the character of the firm warranted the hope which has now been realised, that their difficulties might speedily be surmounted. CORONER'S INQUEST.—CHARGE OF MANSLAUGH TER.--Last evening Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the ship, Waterside, Wandsworth, on the body of James Powell, aged 29, who was drowned whilst fighting with a man nemed Wright, on board a barge lying in the river, eff the Silk Mills, Battersea. The examination of the different witnesses occupied a coneiderablc space of time, but the facts of the case are briefly these :—The deceased and Wright formed a portion of a gang cm ployed on board the barge Patience. On Sunday morning some of them went into the Waterman's Arms, where they had some beer, but not sufficient to intoxi cate them. They were taken from thence, at two o'clock in the afternoon, by Davies, the capt a in, w h o wante d them to go to w or k again. 'On the way to the barge deceased and Wright had some words about which could do the most work, and soon after they had got on board they commenced fighting. The barge is an open one, and the men fought on the gangway board on which they worked to raise the sand. They had several rounds and one or two falls into the barge, which was nearly full of sand, when the captain insisted upon stopping the fight. The deceased then jumped into the boat and challenged Wright to renew the fight. They accordingly did so ; they closed, and in the struggle fell into the river, and sunk together. Wright rose and was rescued by the captain, but the deceased, whose arm only appeared above the water for a moment and then disappeared, was not found until twenty minutes or half an hour expired, when his body was dragged up by Abraham Baker, a waterman: The witnesses concurred in stating that they considered the falling into the river an accident. The coroner having read the evidence over, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Wright, upon which he was committed to Ilorsemonger lane Gaol. The prisoner was then taken away by Mr. Superintendent Bicknell, of the V division. THE LATE FATAL EXPLOSION or FIREWORKS.— Mr. W. Payne held an inquest on Monday night, at the Dover Castle, Old Kent-road, on the body of Mrs. Isa bella Bartrope, whose death was occasioned by an ex plosion of fireworks on the sth instant. It appeared that on Friday evening Mr. Huff, foreman of the goods depot of the Bricklayers' Arms terminus of the South-Eastern Railway, was letting off some fireworks in the yard of Mr. Bartrope's house. A quantity of the combustibles were placed in a wash house near the spot, and on a rocket being discharged which accidentally took a horizontal instead of a perpendicular course, the deceased being frightened took refuge in the washhouse. Some sparks from the rocket, however, were thrown in as the door was opened, and falling on the box containing the fire works, occasioned the melancholy catastrophe. During the inquiry it was elicited that the box in question had been brought up by one of the railway trains, and had remained some time at the station, notwithstanding the regulations of the company, prohibiting the conveyance or reception of such dangerous articles. The jury ulti mately returned a verdict=" That the deceased, Isabella Bartrope, was accidentally burned to death by an ex- Plosion of fireworks ;" and added, " that they consi dered it wai through the loose manner in which the at the Bricklayerb' Arms station is done, ane they also considered that great blame is attached to the director sgivntr of_ theSouth-Eastern Railway Company in net sufficient and proper instructions to their ser vanCtOs:STAINTIN 0 P ieernt , :finoaor. fr bassador.

TILE MANX LIBEL CASE.—On Friday last, in the Exchequer Court, at Castletown, in the I.le of Man, judgment was given in the case of Dumbell v. Farghe r , ror a libel in the Mona Herald, when sentence was passed el the defendant by the Lieutenant-Governor of the gaol of Castle Rusben for .hree Leonths, and a fine of .SC)/ , and eland of imprisonment in the imprisonment until the fine was paid, with costs of suit. LONDON, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 9. Mr. Baron ROLFE sat in the Exchequer Chamber for the purpose of taking motions. STEVENS V. REELING. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved in this case for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the order to have this case tried by a special jury should not be set aside ' and a fresh order made. The cause was appointed to be tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and it appeared that upon calling the special jurors only five of them were present, and the defendant would not consent to have the case tried by that number. It was the usual custom in such cases that upon a fresh appoint ment being made for the trial, the same special jurors who were previously summoned should constitute the jury, but since the period of their being first sum moned it had been ascertained that several of them had died, and some were excused upon various grounds. Under these circumstances, therefore, it was necessary that the original ruie should be set aside, and a fresh order made by the Court upon the subject.—Rule granted. (Sittings in Banco.) WALLER V. BISHOP. This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at London ; the verdict passed for the plaintiff, for the sum of 3,9251. 17s. 3d. Mr. CROWDER now moved to set aside the verdict, pursuant to leave reserved at the trial. It appeared that the action was brought by the plaintiff, a stockbroker, to recover the above sum of money, being the amount of certain shares purchased by the plaintiff for the defendant in the projected Dutch Hanoverian Railway, and also for charges on account of the shares being "held over" for him,-that is to say, the account days, when the purchase should be completed, were carried over on brokerage and com mission, the amount of which was about 1,4001. It was alleged that the plaintiff was connected with the above-named projected railway, being a member of the provisional committee of that scheme. It further appeared that there was an intention on the part of the directors of that company to purchase a considerable number of shares for the purpose of reducing the number then in the market, the currency of which would bring what was then thought to le a good project to an unde served failure. This process was one technically termed "ri;;ging the market," and the Lord Chief Baron upon the trial expressed a strong opinion that, "when carried to a great extent, might be regarded as a swindling transaction." In this case, however, the arrangement appeared to he suggested by an honour able desire to prevent the effect of a great panic, and the shares falling to a ruinous discount. An ar rangement was come to by the directors to carry out their views, whereby each director should employ his own broker, and snake his purchases individually ; and a resolution was passed by the board, on the 3d of December, to prevent any of the directors being bound by the purchases of the other, except in such cases as should he agreed upon by the whole body of the directors. The pre sent action arose out of purchases of shares in con sequence a that. arrangement, :rod the evidence on the part of the plaintiff consisted chiefly of a variety of "bought notes," and orders given by a Mr. Carvalho and a Mr. Ogle, who were connected with the company. The Learned Counsel now con tended that there was no evidence to fix the defendant with the orders in question, and that all that made against him upon the trial was a recognition subse quently, as distinguished from order previously. The COURT stated that they were of opinion that the rule ought to be granted generally, for the reduction of the damages, or a new trial, with liberty to move afterwards for arrest of judgment. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. Nov. J. The LORD MAYOR said he had, since the humbug ging advertisements of persons who called themselves agents for foreign lotteries had been last exposed in the press, received letters from correspondents in various parts of the kingdom complaining of the per severance of the vendors of the enormous German prizes with the enumeration of which attempts were so constantly made to gull the English public. The following is one of the communications he had received : " Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead, Nov. 5. "My Lord,—l would not intrude myself upon your notice save to expose the extraordinary adver tisement inclosed (which has been forwarded to my present abode), a similar one to which received some time ago—(the letter inclosed a form of appli cation for shares in the Imperial Royal Austrian Loan and the Electoral Hessian State Loan-offices in Lon don.) Doubtless others, though living under a Go vernment where lotteries have been for years abolished by law, have like appeals made to their credulity. The parties issuing these notices must conceive my countrymen to be very weak to seriously listen to such statements ; but the recent disclosure reported in the Times, made by an Irish peer through your medium, is a proof that many are led away by this system of polite robbery. " If the publicity of this be of any use it is at your Lordship's service.—l am, my Lord, your humble and obedient servant, Upon entering his stable at the latter end of last week the prosecutor discovered that the, horse in question, which with another he had left safe there in the morning, had been stolen, arid upon making in • quiries he was informed by a woman living in a house nearly adjoining that, while looking out of her window in search of her son, she observed a short man enter the stable about two o'clock in the day, and shortly after return with one of the horses, which he led away with a halter, but, not suspecting a robbery had been committed, she did not particularly notice the thice. Information was thereupon given to the police, and Sergeant Brannan, of the G. division, succeeded the next morning in tracing the animal to the possession of another cab proprietor, named Green, in some mews near Dorset square, who stated, upon questioning him, that. he had purchased it of the prisoner Burke in Smithfield market, for 61. 10s., at a time which must have been only half an hour after it had been stolen. The man Burke, who was then in his company, did not deny the sale, and accounted for his possession of the horse by stating that he had purchased it for 51. 10s. of the other prisoner, Moss, who resided at Bexley-heath, just before he had sold it to G reen , The sergeant accordingly pr o ceed e d t o B ex l ey- h eat h s where, ater some trouble, he found out Moss, who told him that he had bought the animal for 41., also in Smithfield market, of a lad who brought it there with the halter, it appeared, it still had on, and which boy was an entire stranger to him. Moss was thereupon taken into custody, and, upon his return to town, Burke was taken also. A married woman, named Anne Tremayne, and her son, George Tremayne, proved that the horse had been stolen in the manner before described, but neither could positively swear to the prisoners, though the man who stole it was obout the height and ap pearance of the shortest of them. Mr. Green, the laq purchaser, declared that the real value of the animal was much under the estimate formed by the prosecutor, or he should not havegiven the price for it he had, and said that he bought it with perfect confidence in the honesty of the prisoner Burke, whom he had known for many years, and had not the slightest idea that he was engaged in any other than a regular business transaction. Mr. Ileritage, who appeared for the prisoners, ad dressed the magistrate at considerable length in behalf of his clients, who had instructed him to make much the same defence to the bench that they had already made to the officer, and contended that the evidence adduced was wholly insufficient to justify the case being sent before a jury ; but Mr. Hasismn expressed himself as being of a con trary opinion, and ordered both prisoners to be fully committed to Newgate for trial. CLERKENWELL. Jonathan Starling, aged sixteen, was charged with cruelty to a horse. gentlem an res idi ng i n Carn i d r. en John tola•n ,a that he sa w th e pr i soner , St d ep ep h o e s n e s d on driving a horse and cart near th e B recknock Arms, A . and the animal was covered with sores, .and the blood was literally running from its neck, and from that part under the collar—and the poor animal was evi dently in the greatest torture. On questioning the prisoner, he said he had driven it from Enfield. Ills master told him if he was stopped with it, he (the pri soner) would not be punished; they would only take the horse. IVitness gave him into custody, and the horse and cart were taken possession of, and were then at the back of the court. The prisoner, in his defence,_ said he knew the horse was in the state described when he took it out, but his master said he would not be hurt if he was stopped with it; they would only take the horse. Mr. TYRAYBITT—Pray who and what is your master ? Prisoner—lie is a higgler living at the King's Arms, Enfield. Mr. TYRIVIIITT (indignantly) —Your conduct is detestable, you are as bad as your master, and I will teach you that poor animals were sent here for man's use and not his abuse. It is persons of your class that grow up in crime of the worst description. You begin with cruelty towards dumb animals, and then you become reckless as to committing acts of cruelty and probably come to the gallows. As long as I sit here I am determined to check such acts of cruelty by inflicting the severest penalty of the law. None but cowardly fellows would be guilty of such conduct ; they will ill- use a poor dumb crea ture, and run away like cowards if they themselves are attacked. On such a person as yourself I have no doubt that anything I can say will have no effect; I hope it may, and to convince you that you shall not be guilty of such horrid cruelty in future with impunity I convict you in the penalty of 20s. or ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner was committed to prison in default of payment, and the horse and cart were detained. THAMES. Mr. John Berwick Whitby, aged 50, a woolstapler, who gave his address, 16, Manning-lane, Bradford, Yorkshire, was charged with stealing a quantity of wool from the St. Katherine Dock. The prisoner, who is very respectably connected, had been frequently seen in the wool warehouse in the St. Katherine Dock, and his manner had recently given rise to suspicion. On Monday he was again seen there by Mr. Broadley, the deputy warehous keeper. There were nearly 2,000 bales of wool open and for show. Mr. Broadley observed that the prisoner's pockets looked very bulky, and when he left the warehouse followed him, and gave information to a constable named Worley, who stopped the prisoner just before three o'clock at the principal entrance of the dock, and asked him what he bad got about him, to which he replied, " nothing particular." Worley took him into the lodge, and again repeated his inquiry. The prisoner said he had a little wool about: him, and took some out of his coat pocket very slowly, and suddenly dis continued doing so. Worley w as not satisfied, and took some more out of his pockets, and on taking off his hat wool was found stuffed into it. The prisoner was asked how he came by the wool ? and he said that he had been purchasing many bales in the ware house ; and on the officer informing him that the regular practice was to obtain a pass for any samples brought out of the warehouse, the prisoner said he had not got one. Worley then left the prisoner in the lodge while he proceeded to communicate with Mumford, the superintendent of the Sr. Katherine dock police, and on his return saw the prisoner taking wool out of his pockets and throwing it on the fire. Worley took the wool out of the fire and extinguished the flames with his feet. In answer to questions put to him by Mumford, the prisoner said he obtained the wool taken from him, weigh ing 2ilb., from six bales in the wool floor, but sub sequently made another statement—that he obtained some of the wool from Brown's warehouse, and the remainder from the London Dock, and gave his address 01, Trinity -square. On his way to the " J. J. SMITH." The LORD MAYOR said be felt much gratification in being able to state, upon leaving the office of Chief Magistrate, that multitudes of individuals had expressed to him their warmest acknowledgments for having prevented them, by the manner in which he had denounced the speculations of foreign lottery agents, from engaging in enterprises likely to be productive of some loss, and of great disappointment and chagrin. He confessed he was surprised to find that persons who called themselves agents of those foreign lotteries invited the public to purchase shares at offices in London, notwithstanding the long-ex isting prohibition of English lotteries, the existence of which would not be more strongly calculated to do mischief to the community than the unchecked progress of these foreign loose modes of " raising the wind." His Lordship thought it necessary, upon leaving the chair, to state that he felt the highest satisfaction in expressing his opinion that the City police had acted all through his year of office with zeal, ability, and skill, and that many of the men had much distinguished themselves by their extraor dinary efforts to break up the gangs of thieves with which the metropolis was crowded. To the conduc tors of the press his Lordship declared he was deeply indebted for the powerful assistance they had ren dered him in his attempts to frustrate the views of the swindling community, which had suffered con siderable diminution through such means. IVORSHIP-STREE7'. Henry Moss and Walter Burke, described as horse dealers, were placed at the bar fur final examination, charged upon suspicion of having stolen a hay horse, value thirty guineas, the property of Mr. William Heales, a cab proprietor in Gloucester-street, Fins bury. (Sittings in Error, before Lord Chief Justice Wilde, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Maul; Mr. Justice Coltman, and Mr. Justice Cresswell.) BARON DE BODE V. REG. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to set aside a writ of error brought by the late Baron de Bode. The Learned Counsel contended that the present plaintiff, being administrator to the late plaintiff in error, could not carry on the proceedings under that writ, that it was not competent for him to do so except upon a writ of scire facias, and that such writ could not be obtained except upon the fiat previously obtained from the Attorney-General, or that without obtain ing this fiat from the Attorney-General the only course left open to the plaintiff would be to apply to the House of Lords. The COURT granted the order. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 9. (Sittings in Banco.) DOLL V. DOWNES. In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Williams at the last sittings after Trinity Term, and a verdict found for the plaintiff for 2001., Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the bulk of the evidence. The action was brought to recover the amount due to the plaintiff, who is an engineer, for work done in surveying and mapping a projected line of railway, called the Canterbury and Herne Bay Railway, of which the defendant was a director. The principal point upon which he founded his application was with re ference to the mode in which the plaintiff's charges were to be liquidated. It was proved at the trial by the solicitor to the company that the plaintiff agreed to make the survey on the understanding that he was to be paid out of the deposits received, and not to look to the directors for payment. The COURT granted a rule. The LORD MAYOR—Shortly after half- past two o'clock, a procession, headed by the Mace-bearer and Sword-bearer, and consisting of the Lord Mayor Elect, the late Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and several members of the C o u r t s of Aldermen and Common Council entered the court, and after bowing to the Bench, the Recorder advanced and, addressing their Lordships, said—l am desired, by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of the City of London, to request the honour of your Lordships' company at an entertainment to be given this day at the Guildhall in the City. Their Lordships then bowed, and the procession immediately retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The mayoralty of Sir George Carroll, which has been distinguished by great activity, zeal, and punc tuality, closed with his Lordship's adjudication on some cases connected with the desertion of seamen at foreign ports, a subject frequently brought before the Cnief Magistrate's noti - le under the new Registration Act, the operation of which is said to be producing great advantage to the owners of ships. His Lord ship also took the opportunity of making allusion to the foreign lotteries, with solicitations from the agents or pretended agents of which the English, Irish, and Scotch public have been for a considerable time harassed ; and to the conduct of the City police during his year of office. John Wood, a seaman, was charged by Mr. Cole rcan, clerk to the Registrar of Seamen, with having deserted the Boyne, at Baltimore, in May, 1847, having signed articles in London for the voyage to North America and back, at the usual rate of wages, viz., 31. per month. Mr. Phillipps, of the firm of Phillipps and Tip lady, owner of the Boyne, produced the ship's arti cles, on which were endorsed the particulars of the desertion of 'Wood at Baltimore, by the British Con sul there. The prisoner was committed for thirty days. John William Rose was charged by Mr. Coleman with having deserted the Sherwood, in London, having received 31. in advance of wages, intended by the owners to be laid out in the purchase of the necessary clothes, &c., for the voyage, but which was expended, as usual amongst fellows of vagabond propensities, in dissipation of the grossest kind, the prisoner having been too drunk to join the vessel when she was leaving dock. The prisoner said that all that had been said against him was true enough. He was sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment. John Mudge was convicted of desertion from the Acadia, at Pugwash, upon the evidence of Mr. Cole man, confirmed by that of Mr. Walton, of Newman's court, the owner of the vessel. Mr. Coleman, upon the part of the Registrar- General of Seamen in the port of London, begged to thank his Lordship for the very prompt and efficient adjudication rendered during the mayoralty in the numerous cases brought under his Loixlship s notice. He trusted that the extra duties thus imposed. upon the Chief Magistrate of the City would prove but tem porary. He believed that such would be the result of the vigorous measures adopt-Sd by his Lordship, who had, since the Act came into operation, some months ago, disposed of 380 cases in such a manner as would produce a powerful effect upon the service. The LORD MAYOR sail he regretted that his expe rience of seamen since his accession to the office of Lord Mayor was such as to give him a very unfa vourable opinion of the state of honourable feeling amongst them. He had found that they were in the habit of signing articles in London at the usual rate of wages at the port, which articles, upon their arrival at foreign ports where wages were high, they did not hesitate to violate, to the serious injury of provisions bwßooet eosef m tiolesraberace eery opportunity oftabnatd afterwards th hesit heton oo fu glad rraia)rlel ias parliament o cec s ne e ts c the shipowner s i n E ng l an d , f rom whom they were iwphl theyoi c which ffiet n hc t ee . vof carrying out the ' s it o i r n e i commercial community We much so that the v i g il ance dis lye much intere s t e d, an d ther with th e intro dPucat o f Mr. Col eman , toge- Quebec t o meet the eas e s uti of the Aet passed at , 1 es . ertion there, would ; tend to suppress a system so i • interest. njurtous to the shipping ' WEDNESDAY EVEN f N , NOVEMBER lO, 1847. station-house with Nicoll, a police-constable, 99 11, he told the policeman he had no occasion to lead him, and that he was not afraid of the case ; and upon reaching the station gave his address 16, Manning lane, Bradford, and said that he had been in London only a few weeks. On the same evening, in conse quence of what a sailor said in the Police-court on Monday, Nicoll went to 4, Harrods-place, Well close-square, where the prisoner rented an apartment, and where he found 101-Ib. of wool. Mr. Broadley said he had no doubt the wool had been collected from various bales in the warehouse. It was of various qualities. The prisoner in defence said, he took the wool found upon him into the London Dock, after he had been to the different warehouses and taken samples from various parcels. He went to the wool ware house in the St. Katherine Dock. He was a respect able may, and had been in the wool trade since he was born, he might say. A tradesman spoke in high terms of the prisoner, and had never known him otherwise than as a respect able man. Mr. YARDLEY said, the evidence, which was: very conclusive, left him no alternative but to corniait the prisoner for trial for stealing the wool. LAMBETIL ?Ir. Edward Good, an extensive farmer and cow keeper at Peckham, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer a charge of assault, with intent, &c. Elizabeth Lloyd, a tall young woman, whose ap pearance was very plain and unprepossessing, deposed that she lived as servant to Mr. Clark, a single gen tleman, residing at 18, Camden-place, Seuthampton street, Peckham, and knew the defendant, Mr. Good, from his serving her master with milk. On 117ednes day last, the 3d inst., at about three o'clock in the afternoon, she answered a knock at the door, and on opening it, Mr. Good, who stood outside, immedi ately came into the passage. The moment he did so he caught hold of her and began to kiss her, upon which she tried to get away, but he with much vio• lence threw her down in the hall and endeavoured to effect his purpose, but she ultimately, and by great exertions, got away from him, and ran into the kitcheu,:,,Tllee 4efendant foll owe d h er th ere, b ut d i d not probeedliiliftther violence, and ultimately left the housea_ In replOVieleStions by the magistrate, the witness said,tbak "a9-sttttacked she cried out 2S loud as she could IjUt - *Ofebeing no person but herself and the defetidant-inlltihouse at the time, and no person, as she...stqWPASkarmg her on the o u t s id e , no one came to hei•Ats,-54tathie: She had not on a former occasion perrnifted or encouraged the slightest liberties or freedom. - On the evening in question she told him she should inform her master of his conduct the in stant he came hone ; and she did so. CrosFeexamined by Mr. Games—Had known Mr. Good for upwards of twelve months, hut had never asked his advice as to what she should do about some delicate matters between herself and her master. The defendant was, in the habit of asking her if she did not sleep with her master? and in reply, but in joke, she used to say, " Oh yes, it's all right."---(Laughter.) She did not tap at the window on the day in question for Mr. Good to come in, nor did she say when she opened the door, " I'm glad you are come, for I wanted to tell you that I am quite com fortable with the little fellow again." After commit tiog the outrage she had described up stairs, the de fendant followed her to the kitchen, and stopped there about 20 minutes before going away. When he went into the kitchen she was ironing some clothes, and she complained of a violent headache which he h a l caused her, upon which he told her to wash her face and she would be all right. When t'ae defendant en teced the house there was a gardener at work, snowing a plot of grass close by, but he did not hear her calls for assistance. This, however, she attributed to his being very deaf. Mr. ELLIOTT said that the case was one which, in his opinion, should go before a jury, and he should there fore send it to the sessions. On the application of Mr. Games, bail was accepted IVES77IIINSTER. Ellen illottram and Jane Mee, two women of the town, were brought up f or re - exam i na ti on , c h arge d with drugging and robbing a gentleman named Sea combo of his gold watch and some money. The particulars of the previous examination were fully detailed in The Sun of Wednesday last. Ac cording to the statement made by the prisoner Mot tram to a corporal of the Grenadier Guards, the prisoners met the gentleman near the National Gal lery, and took him to their abode in Westminster, where they drugged and robbed him. On its being inquired yesterday whether there was any further evidence against the prisoners, Mr. Land, an inspector of the A division, said that he had seen Mrs. Seacombe, who informed him that her husband had been very ill since the drug had been administered to him, but he appeared to be getting gradually better until Tuesday, when he read an account of the examination of the prisoners on this charge, shortly after which he fell into a state of madness, and was at the present moment, the in mate of a lunatic asylum. Mr. BRODERIP said, he should remand the priso ners for another week. It was a most diabolical case. Not only was the unfortunate gentleman plundered, but perhaps himself and family ruined for ever through the vile usage resorted to the better to accomplish the robbery. lie should give the very fullest opportunity to complete the case against the prisoners. They were then remanded. Leeds. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 5, 1847.

An alarming fire broke out yesterday evening, be tween eight and nine o'clock, on the premises of Messrs. Hudson, marine-store-dealers, New-road. The precise origin of the fire we have not been able to ascertain, but the warehouses being filled with highly combustible materials, such as rags, oakum, and tarred rope, the conflagration soon assumed a formidable appearance, and the reflection of the light was visible from all parts of the town. It being the fair time, a great number of persons were in the streets, particularly in the neighbourhood of the gaol and Carliol-square, where the fair is held, and on ob • serving the glare they started off simultaneously in the direction of the fire. Parties were attracted from other places, and every street leading to the spot was soon thronged with people hastening towards the scene. Our reporter reached the place just before the roof of the building fell in, and none of the en gines had then arrived, so rapid had been the progress of the devouring element. Fortunately, the warehouse, which had been formerly a brewery, was detached from the other buildings, by which, indeed, it was al most sur rounded, so that the wind, which blew sharply, had comparatively little effect in causing the flames to extend. To this may be attributed the safety of the adjoining property. The warehouse was immediately behind Gibson-street, in the angle of the houses forming that street and the New-road, and was ap proached on the rear by Bedford-street, where the North British engine, on its arrival, was stationed, two of the Newcastle engines having previously taken up a position in the front. The fire had, however, by this time exhausted its fury ; the roof and all the floors had fallen ; and the materials were blazing within the ruined walls of the building like an immense bonfire. The streams of water, which were thrown upon it after the engines began to play, soon dispelled all danger of its proceeding further, though the embers continued burning for so me h ours a ft erwar d s . Th e consterna tion created in the immediate neighbourhood of the conflagration was great, and many parties hastily removed their furniture, throwing it out of the windows, while thieves and pickpockets, who swarm at fairs, followed their occupation with extraordinary assiduity. Notwithstanding the immense crowd of persons assembled, the greatest degree of order pre vailed, owing to the promptitude and activity of the police, who were directed by Mr. Stephens in person, and who, by judicious regulations, prevented that wanton destruction of property which would other wise have taken place during the panic that prevailed among the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The fire was extremely rapid in its progress ; but it was fortunately confined to the building in which it on ginated, which is, however, entirely destroyed, toge ther with the stock it con t a i ne d , t h e ga b les and a portion of the side walls being all that remain. The supply of water was insufficient, and some was pro cured from a pond in the vicinity. The injury will amount to some thousands of pounds, which, it is understood, is partially covered by insurance in one of the Scottish offices.—Neweastle Journal of Saturday ASHTON.-- T HE G ENERAL TURN on o pLob i t a h h s i t l a i t n y d i o n f g th i i t s i t B u turn- u o p u e t ri C z O i n: g i n OUT. - There Yesterday morn i ng t h e w h o l e o f t h e m ill s rema i ne d the to tertown ion, a o closed, none of the masters appearing at all anxious to give the operatives a chance of resuming work, were they inclined to go in. The spinners appointed a depu tation to wait upon the mayor, Joseph Fletcher, Esq., with a requisition from the inhabitant householders, on Saturday, praying him to convene a meeting in the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means to be adopted under the present unfortu nate differences which exist between the employers and the employed. The mayor having refused to accede to the requisition, the requisitionists have called it on their own account. Such is tho state of distress in this town and neighbourhood, owing to the strike now existing, that the parish office is crowded from morning to night. —Liverpool Mercury.
