EV ENING ED I V lON. spiaiT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM T aE DAILY PAPERS OF rE3TERDAY. (From the Globe.) The Tieze..l this morning has a laboured and anxioes panegyric on Lord Lynd]aursc, intended to promote his election as High Steward of the University of Cam bridge. lot is with consi derabla satisfaction that we find the Tistee in a whining %one, which assures us there is a " screw loose" in his Lordship's election-machinery. The Times is dismayed at the possibility (which shows that it thinks it higlity probable) of the success of Lord Lyttieton in the expected contest with the veteran politician—" hie success in which," it says, " would re flect little credit on the University, and would inflict a great injustice on one if the greatest ornaments of the country." A prophet, it has been said, has no honour in his own country ; neither, it would seem, have some :national ornaments honour in their own college. A Cambridge correspondent writes to us—" With refe rence to the probable contest between Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Lyttleton for the High Stewardship of the University of Cambridge, it has perhaps excited some surprise that the requisition to the former, which was published in she Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday last, contains not a single name from Lord Lyndhurst's own College, of which he was formerly a Fellow, althougla the residents there are notoriously three fourths of them Conservatives. What cen induce Tri nity College, where the esprit du corps is generally pretty strong, thus to disown her own flesh and blood, you will perhaps he able to imagine when you observe. in the address to Lord Lyttleton, which was published in the London morning papers of Saturday, that one qualification of that nobleman is stated to be his un blemished moral character.' The clerical members of that royal and religious foundation seem to have thought that the support of the ex-Chancellor would be hardly a fair thing to Alderman Harmer. after the way the Li very of London have treated himl" (From the Standard.) The Paris Journals are naturally filled with par tlealars of the late attack upon the life of the Kiwi, and with animadversions upon the probable motives 01 that atrocious attempt. The assassin has spared the necessity for much speculation. He has declared himself a R laublican, and a war fanatic, and avowed that his resolution was to murder the monarch as a tyrant, the greatest tyrant that France had ever produced. This is enough. Every king is a tyrant, says the Republican ; every one who will not obey the command of a faction is a tyrant in the judgment of that faction ; but all who are tyrants, or ate thought to he tyrants, are justly punish able with death according to the new morality of France. Would that we could limit this abominabl.: code to France ; but though that country may have the disgrace of its invention, we cannot shut our eyes to the truth that it has too many votaries among our selves. Oxford was a madman : of this there can be now no doubt, but the papers found upon him prove that he had received his execrable bias from those who we not mad. The champion of " young England" had learned something from the importers of the doctrines of " la Jeune France." The truth is, that the minds of men in our part of the world have, in too many cases, lost the guidance of those moral and religious principles which constituted the safety of elder, and, whatever reproach we may incur by the confession, in our opinion, wiser generations. The supremacy of the Divine law, and, under that, the supremacy of the municipal law, while they were recognised among men presented a sure guard to public tranquillity and per sonal safety. The only tyrant was he who violated the law of the land ; and as the security of the Monarch's state constituted part of that law, all who resisted the Prince were rebels ; but when the Monarch had violated the law, his punishment was the act of the nation. These were plain intelligible prin ciples ; but these principles have suffered the fate that has confounded all political principles during the last half century. Men begin with active or passive resistance to some law which may happen to displease them. Here the first step is taken in sub verting the supremacy of that sovereignty to which alone a free people ought to submit. From resisting a aw to resisting and overturning a constitution, the transition is easy and obvious ; and still easier is the transition to regicide, on the part of sanguinary and irreligious men, who see, or think they see, no F. , it between them and the fulfilment of their wishes, but one man, and he a man whom they have been industri ously taught to hate. Here we have the solution of the six attempts to murder probably the very best, and certainly the wisest King who ever occupied the throne of France. It is remarkable that in none of these six attempts was the vindication of a private wrong pretended. What better proof can be required that the King of the French is not the tyrant which his assassins would represent him? The tyrant of thirty-three millions could not fail to have com mitted thousands of acts of private injustice ; and Abet has happened proves that these acts would not go unmarked by some attempt at assassination ; but nothing of the kind has oc curred : five attempted murders assailed the life of the King, as the pledge of order in France. The sixth murder is attempted in order to remove the pledge of peace. Let no man say that these horrid attempts are the acts of individuals ; they are not ; they are the acts of all who teach to trample upon the supremacy of law, the acts of all who denounce the King as a ty rant, the acts of all who, well knowing of what it was and ever must be the prelude, swell the chorus of the terrorists and Septembrists of the first revolution, the chant of blood, the Marseillaise. We trust to the mercy of that Providence which has given peace to Europe for twenty-five years, to protect the life of the King whose reign has proved the guarantee of peace ; and if he live we can have no doubt that the late at tempt will add to his political influence, than which nothing can be more desired by the lovers of peace throughout the world. (From the Courier.) Elsewhere will be found the details, as extensively given as they could be procured, of a deplorable misfor tune on the South Western (Southampton) Railway. We have no desire to understate the extent of the cala mity, or to extenuate the apparent defects in adminis trative detail to which it may have been attributable. On this head, however, we reserve ourselves for a more formal expressio• of opinion when all the facts are before us, and the parties, that is, the Directors, arc in Court. But we may be permitted to remark that, at any rate, the disaster is primarily the consequence of that ' management., not to say system, which would seem peculiar and exclusive to this railway ; which is, that the time should be so inexactly kept, as in the present in seance, that one train, casually perhaps more punctual, should arrive unexpectedly on the heels of another, and with an impetus of motion, necessarily uncontrollable, rush destructively upon its lagging and passive prcde• cessor. We nre compelled, however reluctantly, to confirm from our own experience the truth of the ac cusation directed by the Times against the irre gular mode in which time is kept on this railroad, and on this alone of all on which we have chanced to travel. The. cause will be found to be, we appre hend, a deficiency of moving power adequate to the weight of carriage, attributable probably to ill-advised notions cf economy in the administration, and too great haste to arrive at a realization of profits. This unlor nate occurrence will no doubt be made a pretext for reviving the ill-judged clamour against railways in gene ral, upon which, with the ascertained facts of this case more fully before U 3, it «ill probably become our duty to resume the consideration of the railway question.

(From the Charivari.) TIIE BEARD. Enormous moustachios, worn by men whose profes sion is not military, hide either an ugly mouth or bad teeth, excepting when they are the ornamen- of an officer of the civic militia, in which case they are no longer the toy of a lout playing at soldiers. Bushy whiskers are exceedingly becoming —to hack ney coachmen and police sergeants. Whiskers which are shaved to a level with the mouth, or which, scanty above, gradually enlarge as they de scend, till they fill up the space between the mouth and ears, are the natural embellishments of a black• smith, a publican, or a porter. The tenth-rate painter wears a mouche ala Vandyck, or a la Henri 111. But the full beard is the appurtenance of artists' sit ters, of incomprehensible poets, of village trampers, and of Parisian lions, to the latter of which it becomes a substitute for a mane. THE CRAVAT. The style of the cravat changes according to our age. Befora 10, our necks are free from all encumbrance ; up to 18 the cravat is an object of utility—from 20 to 2.5 it becomes a matter of pleasure, we seek to set off our countenances to advantage, and endure the yoke of a cravat with a light heart ; at 30 the cravat bee ins to be a study ; at 40 it becomes a task, and gradually as sumes more ample dimensions—we aspire to repose. After this age our last pretensions to beauty, its sur vivors by twenty or thirty years, decay and vanish, and the cravat becomes what it may, we heed it not ; either it collapses, and allows itself to be crushed by the still shirt collar, or becomes a refuge for the chin and mouth, and even for the nose. The shape, colour, and disposition of a cravat vary with the axe, and also with the character and social po sition, of the individual. A. pliant and loose cravat, negligently tied, will mark out your man who knows how to enjoy life ; by a stiff brown cravat, tightly drawn, you will recognize the humourist—the man that never sleeps well. The phy sician, the artist, the barrister (we do not mean the amateur barrister) wear a cravat tied in an unpretend ing way, without stiffness, and abstain altogether from shirt collars. The provincial, whose species is gradually becoming extinct, may still be distinguished by his mohair stock (warranted to last five years). The man of fashion imprisons his neck in a prim black satin stock. The ex-singer at the Shades, the old ad mirer of Mademoiselle Mars, the literary man of the em pire, encircle their throats with a kind of white turban, above which their wrinkled countenances appear like a macaroon floating on a cream. Lastly, to conclude our chapter of cravats, by way of useful information, we call your attention to the gen tleman whose throat is ornamented with a rusty black velvet stock, exceedingly high, and fastened at the nape of his neck with a large steel buckle—in presence of such a person prudence warns us to be cautious in our speech ; he is a political informer. GLOVES. An ill-bred man wears gloves only on extract 'inary occasions, and knows not how to wear them ; he ither selects them of a colour ill-suited to his dress, to nar row or too large. When he has them on, he i- at a loss how to dispose of his hands ; if he takes thet,l off, he ruffles then, and soon thrusts them into his poc,;ets. He that wears dirty gloves, and with holes at the tips of the fingers is one ashamed of his poverty. Gloves at 19 sous are only to be tolerated in a fancy shopkeeper's accountant, a small country-town banker, or an attorney's clerk. All individuals who wear cotton gloves will at night wear a cap of the same material. The gentlemanly man kn ows how to select, put o n , wear, and take off his gloves with good taste. The cox comb's gloves fit so closely that be can neither move his fingers nor shut his hand, and therefore he holds his cane between his fingers as Punch does his stick. THE CANE. A small cane is bumbkin, a large one snobbish, a knotty stick is low, a thick stick common, too small a stick is foolish ; a fishing-rod stick, a flageolet or um brella stick, are downright stupid. A handle ornamented with stones is prim, a shell handle is disgraceful, a long handle is oldfashioned ; a head sculptured on a handle is bad taste ; a snuff-box handle, a musical one, and a handle with a whistle or a spyglass, are fit only for commercial travellers. The urchin who wishes to appear manly trails his stick along the pavement ; the rustic, who apes the gen tleman, makes his stick take as many strides as himself : the lounger rubs his mouth, his cheeks, his chin, with the handle of his stick ; the happy man holds his cane by the middle and taps the palm of his other hand ; the sad or reflective man carries his cane stuck perpendicu larly to his leg ; the absent man hits everything that lies in his way, without excepting the legs of the pas sengers ; the student twirls his stick in every one's face ; the landholder carries his under his arm ; the dreamer holds it with both hands behind his back ; and the spy hangs his cane to his coat button. THE ILL•USED GENTLEMAN. There are certain persons in the world who are con tinually in what is metaphorically termed " hot water." Lord Cardigan is one of those persons. Indeed, his Lordship must be perfectly parboiled by this time ; hence, we presume, his extreme sensitiveness and irri tability. He is nerve all over, and unthinking people, not making due allowance for the peculiarities of his organization, are perpetually doing things which wound and gall him in his tenderest points, so that his whole life is consumed in seeking a redress of grievances. His officers are a set of the most pestiferous people imaginable. It matters not how quiet or peaceable they may have previously been when commanded by others ; no sooner do they come under his Lordship's control, than they will not be controlled, and insubordi nation spreads amongst them like an epidemic. They become as mutinous as " free and enlightened" United States' militiamen on a drill-day, and as ill-behaved and uproarious as Members of Parliament with an Irish question before the House. There is not a toss-up amongst them—Captain Wathen and Lieutenant For rest, and the brace of Reynoldses, John and Anthony, are all alike—all engaged in atrocious conspiracies to turn the " milk of human kindness" in the bosom of his Lordship into bitter and disordered bile. This is hard ; but other great men have suffered in a similar way, long before the persecutions of Cardigan commenced. Rous seau is a case in point, for it is notorious, upon his own showing, that during two-thirds of the life-time of that fidgetty philosopher, the world suspended its regular business, and devoted its whole energies to getting up a series of plots and contrivances for the special annoy of Jean Jacques Rousseau. Lord Cardigan (save in the single article of ability) is the English Jean Jacques. The truth is, his Lordship is filled with what Charles Limb denominates " imperfect sympathies," and de cided aversions. Amongst other things, he has an " im perfect sympathy" with an Indian officer, and a decided aversion to a " black bottle." Yet the gentlemen under his command make no allowance for those idio syncrasies, but Indian officers imperinently request to know the reason of his dislike when it is expressed aloud, and junior Captains drink Moselle out of bottles of the obnoxious colour ! These are clearly flagrant cases, and worthy of the severest reprehension from the Horse Guards. Why do not those subalterns study his Lordship's. constitutional peculiarities? It is not for him to render a reason : " Some men there are love not a gaping pig; Some that are mad if they behold a cat ;" and, as Shylock goes on to observe—aow, gentlemen, "for your answer"— "And there is no firm reason to be render'd, Why he cannot kbide a gaping pig, While he a harmless necessary cat"— So Lord Cardigan " can give no reason, nor will not,'il why he dislikes an Indian officer, and detests a black bottle.—" Are you answered?" " Sweet charity" forbids the application of the lines in the immediate vicinity of the above to English " Anthony" in place of Venetian Antonio. One or two of the ultra-Tory papers complain of the " dead set" which has been made against his Lordship by the press, Whirr, Liberal, and Conservative. Of coarse this cannot reasonably be at.ributed to any sym pathy on the part of that organ with the oppresled or weaker party, but is clearly to be traced as another branch of that immense conspiracy which has been en tered into against the pease and quietness of that " ill used gentleman," the Earl of Cardigan.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20. 1840. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. William Mosses Kearns surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with forging a portion of a deed, with intent to defraud Samuel Thwaitcs. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. The case occupied the attention of the Court for a considerable time, but the details were of no public in terest. The defendant, it appeared, was an attorney, and the prosecutor was a brewer, at Brixton. The parties had had some transactions together, and in 1830 the prosecutor gave a warrant of attorney to the defendant, dated the 9th September, which document should have been filed in the Court of Queen's Bench within twenty-one days, to render it valid, but this, it appeared, was not done, and the date had, in consequence, been altered from the 9th to the 19th, and it was then filed in due course, and execution entered upon it against the goods of the prosecutor, but upon application to the Court of Queen's Bench, that judgment was set aside on the ground of the alteration in the deed. It appeared, how ever, that the prosecutor had afterwards signed a docu ment expressing a belief that the alteration of the date was an accidental occurrence. The Recorder in the course of the case expressed his opinion that the charge must fall to the ground, but the prosecutor requested Mr. Prendergast to examine all the witnesses. When the case for the prosecution had concluded, the Jury, without hearing Mr. Phillips for the defence, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. as the bankers of the alleged Board, declared, upon being waited upon by the deputation, that they knew nothing in the world of the Tokenhous:-yard establish ment. The LORD MAYOR—Then the whole has been got up for the purpose of . getting to ge th er f un d s ? The Gentlemen of the Deput at i on sa id t h ere w as no doubt as to the real object. Indeed, they had called at 29, Tokenhouse-yard, and saw a person, who called himself Mr. J. S. Byng, and said he was the secretary ; and they asked him several questions upon the subject of the Board, but he refused to state the names of any of the parties with whom he was connected, but he admit ted that his object was to collect subscriptions on the document. The LORD MAYOR observed that the paper was in geniously put together, and re a ll y d escr ib e d the negli gent mode of obtaining signatures as if the Board was de termined to remedy the defect. The Deputation stated that his Lordship's interfe rence had upon many occasions checked the progress of imposition, and they trusted that the scheme they whoseh ..s names were published as a sanc tion, was wholly ignorant, would receive his Lordship's unqualified condemnation as a security to the public. hadthe exposed Men ° The LORD MAYOR sai d it was a common practice with speculators in companies and schemes of all sorts to use the names of gentlemen of fortune without their authority, and a vast deal of mischief hail been accom plished by such a system. Hi s L ordsh i p cons id ere d that the Deputation had on this occasion acted with pru dence and vigour by making inquiries, the result of which put it beyond a doubt that the object was unsanc• tioned and un justifiable. A man with but one arm, whose name was stated to be Edward Richards, was brought before his Lordship charged with having been in a helpless state of intoxica tion in the streets on Sunday nn-ht. The defendant was taken to the station-house by a policeman and taken care of. The unfortunate fellow was in a sailor's dress, and would have lost the little money he had if it had not been for the policeman. The LORD MAYOR—You lost your arm at sea, I sup pose, my good fellow? Defendant—No, my Lord ; I have not been a sailor. The Lotto MAYOR—You appear in the dress of one. Why is that ? Defendant—l have not been a sailor, but I have been a soldier. The LORD MAYOR—And you arc going home now ? Defendant—l am going home to Ireland, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—Aye, after having lost your arm your are going to live upon your pension ? Defend - Int—No, please your Lordship ; I have got ho pension. The LORD MAYOR—NO pension! How did you lose your arm ? Defendant—By a gun-shot wound, please your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—And no pension ? Mr. Hobler—How did you get the wound, my friend ? Defendant—l wounded myself. The LORD MAYOR—What do you mean by wound ing yourself? Defendant—l wanted to get out of the regiment, and it occurred to me that the only way in which I could get my discharge was by doing myself some mischief ; so I overloaded my musket, and fired it off, and it burst, as I expected, and shattered my hand and arm, so that I am for ever rendered useless. The LORD MAYOR—I have heard of soldiers cutting and maiming themselves to get discharged, but I never in my life heard of such a desperate mode of obtaining a discharge as you have resorted to. You are dis charged. Defendant— Thank you, my Lord. I thought it best to get out of the army, at any rate. taken into custody denied having touched the animal at all, and said the wound had been produced by in ac cidental friction of the part against some hard sub- stance. Mr. BINGHAM said, that notwithstanding the prison er's declaration of innocence to the Sergeant, he was inclined to think there must be soma truth in his de fence, as he could not believe that any one in the shape of a human being would he guilty of such cruelty to wards a poor dumb creature, unless he had acted upon strong provocation. Nothing, however, could extenuate so inhuman an act, and he should visit him with such a punishment as would teach both hint and the class to which he belonged the necessity of controlling their violent passions.

The prisoner was locked up. CROYDON PETTY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. JOSEPH REID and Mr. CURRIE.) A pauper belonging to the Croydon Union named Thonzas Gent, was brought before the Bench upon a charge of assaulting a man named Charles Wells, in the infirmary of the Workhouse, under the following cir cumstances : It appears that Wells was a labourer upon the Brighton Railway, and while engaged upon the line, he did not get out of the way of some earth waggons, which in consequence run against him, and crushed ene of his legs in a most frightful manner. He was immediately taken to the Croydon Workhouse, and upon Mr. Bottom ley, the surgeon, examining him, he found the injuries he had received were of such a character, as to render immediate amputation of the limb absolutely necessary, and that operation was accordingly performed. The patient was then left in the charge of the defendant and another pauper, and it wai during this time that the assault in question was committed. Mr. Stevens, the master of the workhouse, stated, that having received information, that while the unfor tunate man was left in the care of the defendant after his leg had been amputated, the latter had committed an assault upon him ; he instituted an inquiry into the circumstances, and by direction of the parish authorities had brought the defendant before the bench, in order that the matter might be inquired into. John Hill was then examined. He stated that he was an inmate of the workhouse ; and after Wells' leg had been taken off, he and Gent were directed to sit up all night with him. He was in great agony, and they could not keep him quiet ; and while he was sitting up in the bed, Gent, who had repeatedly told him to lie down, struck him a blow on the breast, and knocked him back on the pillow. Mr. RElD—What he did strike him for ? Witness —The poor man was in great pain, and very violent, and I suppose he struck him to keep him quiet. The Master of the Workhouse said that from the in quiries ho had made, he believed that the prisoner was exasperated at Wells not lying still as he wished, and he struck him in consequence. The MAGISTRATES inquired whether there was any reason to believe that the poor man's symptoms had been aggravated in any way by the blow he had received from the defendant ? Mr. Stevens said there was no ground for supposing this to be the case. The injury the man had received was considered by the surgeon from the first to be mortal, and there was no expectation of his recovery. The CHAIRMAN then asked the defendant what ex planation he had to give in reference to the charge made against him ? Defendant (in a careless tone)—The doctor told me to be sure and keep the man quiet, and prevent him from sitting upright, but he would sit up, and tried to pull off his bandages, and so I shoved him back on his pillow, but I deny striking him. The witness Hill declared that the defendant struck him a blow with his fist, and was about to strike him again, but he was prevented from doing so. The MAGISTRATES, after having consulted with Mr. Penfold, the Clerk to the Bench, said that they did not think, under all the circumstances of the case, that they could convict the defendant of an assault, but there was no doubt that he had acted very brutally. They added, that they hoped that if he was appointed a nurse again, which was not, however, very likely after what bad transpired, that he would govern his passion, and not commit such an act again. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.. MANSION-ROUSE. Mr. Ralph Ricardo, Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, and Mr. James Wilson, a Deputation from the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, waited upon the LORD MAYOR yesterday, for the purpose of calling his Lord ship's attention to a handbill purporting to be issued by an Anti-Corn-law Board, No. 29, Tokenhouse yard. and evidently intended as a means of obtaining money upon the strength of the names of a number of Members of Parliament and other gentlemen be longing to the Committee in the Strand associated with the subject. The handhill, which they said was extremely well cal culated to impose upon the public, is as follows : " National and Provincial Anti-Corn-law Board, having for its sole object the welfare of the. nation, without regard to class, sect, or party, or politics, all being invited to join, assist, and give their most stre nuous exertion in grocuring every man's right—Cheap bread. " The Corn-laws mainly injure the many for the mistaken benefit of the few. " The following distinguished individuals, Members of Parliament, and other influential parties, have not only assisted in this righteous cause, but are pledged to a continuance of their powerful aid and support towards the accomplishment of this great and national benefit." ( Here follow the names of the Marquis of West minster, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Brougham, Ralph Ri cardo, Esq., Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P., J. Easthope, Esq., M.P., J. T. Leader, Esq., M.P., Colonel Gore Langton, M.P., and about thirty others.) " This Board is established in conjunction with se veral provincial districts and manufacturing towns, its main object being the getting up of petitions to both Houses of the Legislature, very diff,r ently to those hitherto presented. A great ob jection to many petitions already presented on this all important subject, the Repeal of the Corn-laws, and which has been continually made available by the op. ponents to the measure is, that the petitions do not in reality speak the sentiments of the people ; that signatures are obtained by leaving forms at various places ; that many persons have been known to put their !lames several times to the same petition, by going round to where such petitions arc lyin g for signature ; and that even boys have bee n allowed to offer their names merely to impose upon the Legisla ritire by endeavouring to show a ficti..ous numerical strength. To obviate t his objection, and to present a petition that cannot he subject to such objections, it has been determined by the Board (although attended with heavy expenses, hut to accomplish which they fully rely on the public support in so just and righteous a cause as procuring cheap bread, to send round through the cities of London and Westminster, and environs, canvassers, on whose integrity they can rely, and whose duty it will be to see that none but ostensible parties sign the petitions and affix their address, by which means they will be enabled to prove on oath, at the bar of each House of the Legislature, the genuineness of the petition, and thereby not only remove the evil complained of, but disarm their opponents of a theme on which they endeavour to injure the cause in which the majority of all classes arc so deeply interested. "Extract from the speech of Sir Robert Peel,delivered in the House of Commons on the last discussion on this all-important subject, April 3, 1840 : "‘ He (Sir Robert Peel) would assure the House that lie referred to anything connected with the manu factures and commerce of this country with the utmost anxiety ; he felt that our main strength as a nation, and our position in the scale of nations, depended upon the maintenance of our manufactures—(Hear, hear) — and so much so, that if he were the exclusive advocate and partisan of the agricultural interest, he should tell the landowners that their best friends were the manu facturer,;, and that the manufacturers of the country, and not the Corn-Liws, were the main element of their I prosperity, and the value of their land.—(Cheers.)'

George Young, of Vauxhall-row Wharf, Lambeth, was yesterday summoned before Mr. Hall, for that he, being a coal-merchant, did sell six tons of coil, which were delivered on the 3d instant to Thomas Twigg, of Rose-street, Long-acre, as the purchaser, in sacks, 36 of which being weighed were found not to contain 224 pounds each, but were deficient. The complainant stated that about a fortnight back he ordered six tons of coal at the wharf, which, accord ing to agreement, was to be delivered at his house on the 3d inst. There were 36 sacks in the load when it arrived, and after the men - had delivered 12 sacks he desired them to weigh one which seemed to him to be deficient, but he was told that the machine was out of order when it turned out to be light by several pounds. He then desired that another should be weighed, which also proved to be deficient although weighed with a different machine, and the man went through twelve sacks before the deficiency could be made up, the last sack being found to contain no more than 741bs. It then appeared that the entire of the twelve sacks were deficient, but he could not tell what the original defi ciency might be, but there was a portion takn out of twenty-three sacks to supply the deficiency of the one that had been weighed, and which amounted to about filbs. each. Defendant—Did you call a policeman to stand by while the sacks were weighing ? Complainant—l could not find one at the time, but I procured two friends who stood by, and who are present to name what they saw. Mr. Ham. said that the oomph:in:ant was not bound to call a policeman, as the presence of any disinterested person would answer the purpose. Richard Mason, No. 6, Gloucester-street, Vauxhall, saw every sack weighed at the purchaser's house, twenty four of which he observed were deficient, but he could not say to what extent, as there were no small weights, and they did not appear to be just by many pounds, some being 2lbs. or Sibs. and more deficient. Defendant—The machine must have got out of order, being shook so much in passing through the streets. Mr. HALL—Every time you carry such a machine you are liable to a penalty of 101., it being a distinct offence, and the object evidently being to deceive purchasers. James Ferguson, a publican, happened to pass the complainant's house when the dispute arose about the coals, and having seen fifteen sacks weighed, they were all deficient, but he could not tell to what extent. He then went away, leaving the last witness with the com plainant, as he had no interest in the matter. The complainant said that was the only evidence he had to offer. The defendant's clerk proved that he saw the coals carted after being weighed at the wharf, but he did not accompany them to the defendant's house. The sacks were all of the proper weight at the time, and he could not account for the deficiency, unless it was caused by the stiffness of the machine. AMA% HALL—Whether the machine was out of order or not, your employer was using it when the coal was delivering. The rCian who delivered the coal proved that ma chines invariably got stiff from being exposed to the wet when hanging under the waggon. Mr. HALL—How often have you used the same waggon and machine within the last two months ? Wit ness—We seldom use them except we supply new cus tomers.—(A laugh.) Mr. HALL said, that if he were to take into consi deration the kind of machine with which the defendant served new customers, and the deficiency in the coals, the amount apparently would be more than he could in flict, and as there was a trifling difference in the account given by the complainant's witnesse s , he would fix the average of the deficiency at 7lbs. per sack. The defendant declared that when he was made ac quainted with the circumstances, be offered the com plainant to make up the deficiency, which he refused. Mr. HALL—I shall fine you 241. with costs. The defendant, on paying the fine, said he had bought the coals from the London Gas Light Company, in whose service he had been, and he had embarked in the trade about two months, during which time he ne ver had a complaint brought against him. The defendant's clerk said the waggon or machine had never been out before ; and, as the men who had delivered the load were not regularly employed, the oc currence was purely accidental. Mr. HALL said that such business should not be left to chance, but as the defendant was a very young man, and had only lately gone into business, he would be sorry to visit him with such a heavy penalty, seeing that the complainant had not been at a loss of more than 2s. T ne d e f en d ant s h ou ld therefore pay a miti gated pe na l ty o f ss. eac h sac k, with costs. The d e f en d ant i nstant l y pa id 61., with the co s t o f t h e summons, and was discharged.

SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HoasE.--Stephen Tho mas, a carter in the service of Messrs. Dodd and Co., dust contractors, New North-road, was charged with having endangered the life of a valuable horse, belong , mg to his master, by stabbing it with a pitchfork. Mr. Thomas, the S ecre tary to th e Societ y for the Prevention of Cruelty to A n imals, atte nded to prosecute. It appeared from the evidence of Th omas Smith, one of the prisoner's fellow servants, that on the evening of the 3d inst. he was at work in his master's stable, when he heard the prisoner swearing' ou trageously at a horse which he was rubbing down in on e of the stalls, soon after which he seized a pitchfork and stabbed the animal in the upper part of one of its hind le g s. Although a dreadful wound was inflicted, witness was afraid to men tion the circumstance to any one , on a ccount of the pugilistic powers and violent disposition of the prisoner, which rendered him the complete terror of the place. In consequence of the severe illness of the animal, Mr. Jones, a veterinary surgeon, was c alled in, who found that it had been dangerously wounded, and witness then revealed to his mast er th e ca use of the i n j ur y . Mr. Jones stated th a t one of the pro n g s of the p itc h . fork had caused a puncture more than five inches deep ; and but for his having attended when he did, the animal must have died. An extensive a bscess had been formed in the part affected. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he thrust the pitchfork at the horse in consequence of its having bitten him. Sergeant Dubois stated, that the prisoner on being THE « SIGN AL BLESSING." " It has been, and is, a SIGNAL BLESSING to the country during the present misunderstanding with the French Government, that our own affairs are in the hands of men on whom it can rely as the conservators of peace to the utmost point at which peace can be honourably preserved. We have now had a long immu nity from the calamity of war. The best interests of humanity and social improvement are bound up in its continuance.'— illorning Chronicle. " Its continuance r Is it (for the sense of the thing is by no means clear) the continuance of war or peace that is here meant? It cannot be " peace ;" for, during the government of these " conservators of the peace," we have bad "little wars" with Spain, Portugal, Ca nada, and Affghanistan ; and at this moment we are at war with China and Egyrt, and have a near prospect of one with France. But there is more of the " signal blessing" to come, Lt appears. The same writer in the Chronicle goes on o say- " In that fact (of a known and trusted peace party being now at the helm) Lord Palmerston has found the resource of a quietly confiding people, whose tone and temper have been so manifested as to afford him whatever support he could desire, whether for prolonged peace or INEVITABLE WAR." • - - “Or inevitable war !” Murder will out. And it is by cant such as this, about " signal blessings," that the people are to be led blindfolded into a destructive and expensive war by their Whig and Tory masters Leeds Times. - - MR. BANNERMAN, M.P. If our City Member wish to retain the good opinion of the majority of his Liberal supporters, he Tonic' re quire to adopt some method of putting a stop to the praises that are lavished upon him by a very disreput able and uninfluential portion of the community. He has nothing to fear from Hoo-hea•mee, and the factious at tacks of the Constitutional can do him little harm ; but there is real danger to be apprehended from the support given him by the Non intrusionists. We need hardly tell Mr. Bannerman that three-fourths, at least, of his constituents are Moderates, and that, if the Church question run as high at the next election as it does now, no person who favours the highflyers will have the slightest chance of being returned. This he knows as well as we do. Why, then, should he irritate his warmest friends by unnecessarily giving his countenance to the leaders of the wild party ? It may be quite true that he did not commit him self to the Non-intrusion side by attending the Non intrusion meeting in this city, and waiting upon the Non intrusion Deputation in London ; but, as we asked be fore, would he have done as much in either way, had the men whom he was countenancing been Chartists, instead of clerical, contemners of the law? It may be true also that giving a dinner to Dr. Chalmers and the Moderator of the late Assembly was a mere act of courtesy ; but was not the noble friend right who said he took care so to act that such persons had very little chance of paying him a visit ? We say nothing here of the subscription of Mr. N. Smith's requisition—the requisition of a man avowedly put forward on Non-intrusion principles—because we be. lieve Mr. Bannerman will, when required, subscribe the requisition of the other Liberal candidate for the same ward, and thus show that it is not as a Non-intrusion ist that he supports Mr. Smith ; but we ask Mr. Ban nerman, and we ask him in earnest, to take some means of letting the public know that his other acts which have been construed into a leaning in favour of Non intrusion were not so, but merely the countenance due from a Member to a portion of his constituents, and from a gentleman to his friends. Is Mr. Bannerman aware that he is claimed by the Non-intrusionists? If he is, does he countenance this claim ? These arc questions which, we trust, for the satisfaction of his stanchest friends, he will speedily answer in the negative.—Aberdeen Herald. COMPARATIVE DANGERS OE RAILWAY AND ROAD TRAVELLING. The question of the comparative safety of railway and of common road travelling has lately been mooted iu the daily papers, with some unfairness on the one side, and with much interested zeal on the other. There can be no doubt that, taking the number of passengers carried, and the distances travelled, the accidents by railway have been fewer than those, on the same number and distance, conveyed by coach. But this is not the point to be considered ; for it is no answer to a charge of neglect and want of care on railway managers, to assert that more accidents have happened by coach travelling. The object to be attained is the greatest amount of safety that each mode of conveyance affords, by taking proper care, and by rendering available, to the fullest extent, the means which the present state of knowledge presents. In railway travelling, the principal sources of danger that arise from travelling on common roads are avoided. The accidents, from the uncertain nature of animal power, and from coming into collision with other carriages or obstacles, are those of most frequent occurrence on common roads. These are, to a certain extent, almost inevitable from the circumstances of the case. It may a:so be stated, that the comparatively small number of persons conveyed in each stage-coach, makes it impos sible to appoint men of a superior grade as coachmen to those usually employed ; and the smallness of the number also diminishes, to the same degree, the import ance of the trust. From these dangers, travelling by railway is exempt. The accidents arising from sudden jerks and strains, produced by roughness in the road, are also avoided by railways, and the lowering of the centre of gravity, which is easily attainable in railway carriages, also contributes mainly to their safety. Against all these advantages are to be placed the danger from the possible bursting of the boilers, and that arising, necessarily, from the greater rapidity of the motion. The first additional source of danger is almost nominal ; for, since the introduction of tubular boilers, very few accidents have occurred from explo sion. It is the rapidity of the motion •ahich occasions the chief additional risk in railway travelling. This cause operates in two ways ; by increasing the liability to accident—and, secondly, by magnifying the calami y when accidents occur. These sources of danger, exelu• sively incident to railway travelling are, however, greatly counterbalanced by the advantages we have enumerated. They are dangers also that in a great measure may be guarded against by proper care, and by improvements in the machinery emploped. This should not be viewed as a question merely be tween stage coach travelling and conveyance by rail way ; the question is, have the managers of railways taken sufficient advantage of the additional means of security which railway ccnveyance, if properly con ducted, affords ? If they have not done this, they are chargeable with shameful neglect of duty, even though the lucky chance has been theirs not to experi ence a single accident on their particular line. Any day such an accident may occur. The greatest possible extent of destruction of human life, by accident to a train of railway carriages, naturally causes more anxiety and awakens more public interest to the system of con ducting this mode of conveyance, than to the appoint ments of isolated stage coaches, in which the numbers perilled are so few. _ _ The anxiety to see this important means of internal communication placed on the basis of greatest security, may perhaps assume the appearance of hostility to rail way managers, and to the system generally. We be lieve, however, that the hostility is confined entirely to the defects of the system, and not to the system itself. For ourselves, we can say, that though we have never hesitated to condemn, and strongly, the abuses which exist in railway management, to point out defects and urge improvement, we view the establishment of rail ways as a great national gain. We only rogret that the advantages hitherto derived from theta, and the security they are adapted to afford, have not been equal to their capabilities, nor to the well-founded expectations of the public.—lnventors' Advocate. THE LATE FIRE AT THE EARL OF Li vErtroocs, NEAR KINGSTON.—On Saturday a special meeting of Magistrates took piece at the Court-house. Kingston, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry into the circumstances connected with the late destructive fire at Park Farm, Kingston, the property of the Earl of Li ' verpool, when property to the amount of 2,0001. was .des troyed. I n consequence of the susp " cions that were cre ated, that the fire was the work of an incendiary, the po lice of the district have used every exertion to ascertain the origin of the fire, and in consequence of what they dis covered they were induced to apprehend two men named James Peters and William Howard, who had been working at the farm, and they were on Saturday brought before the bench. The Magistrates present were Sir Richard Fre derick, T. W. Spicer, Esq., and Richard Sharpe, Esq. After a lengthened inquiry the Magistrates consulted for some time, when the Chairman said that the Bench did not think that at present there was sufficient evidence to cri minate the prisoners, and they must therefore be discharged. The inquiry occupied several hours. WILLIAMS, TILE MISSIONARY.—The sum already subscribed for the widow and family of this deeply lamented individual amounts to 1.6581. 183 10d.

The Globe has it that the Doctor has s us t : tamed a mighty loss by the city bankruptcy, an d tba owing to some casualitirs, his income as Professor hailed Liberal which was very small at first, was now do wn at zcrog,"ba just on the eve of becoming a negative quantity! fur- Globe . „obe was gros s ly i m posed upon by the parties whechaj.. rushed it will) these statements. It is true, Dr' t o mers' salary was suspended when the city baokreP re took place, but it is also true, that he has since ceived about 18s. per pound of the who le sums terelth not wn r d rarity stopped, and his loss is a bagat elle naming. His present income from salary, fee s ' An o allowance for a house, is from 4001 . to 450 t. P er : ; num, which is at least twice as much as his predece and, begging pardon of the Globe, had, better than a negative quantity. The emoluments t are about the Glasgow Chair, if we remember r k off ers a 5601, and the difference, we humbly thin . : Aiwa very small inducement to leave a place in - be has been settled for many Tars• l ill e ad vibat proper to remind the Times s)and Globe 0 , 1 , 1 they seem to have forgot, that the loss of the !- 71 . es e `, to chair does not infer the loss of the Doctor's ser. ic - ihe the Church. It merely keeps his light 0141'41%11 east, instead of the west, and we cannot discover.' ..0g lectures in Edinburgh may are inclined to attribute the not be as efficient in Planl'olw. and We nursing sound theology, as lectures in , Gla r lodi. considerabolYi dateship to mere restlessness, for ho is div er e S, 0, of one mind, and seems soon to Wewjbowever, or place, one scheme.
