a, MICHAELMAS 'QUARTER SESSIONS, FRIDAY. TRIAL OF THE' MESSRS. PICK FOR A CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THEIR CREDITORS. Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday morning, came on the trial of the Messrs. Peck, on an indictment charging them with having conspired to defraud their creditors. Mr. CorriNGIIAM and 31 r. tics nToN appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. MURPHY and Mr. JAMES fur the de fendants. Mr. CorriNotiAst stated the case at considerable length, after which evidence was produced. Anthony Wilkinson was first called, and deposed,—l am a merchant, and carry on business in Temple-place, corner of Matthew-street, Liverpo:[; I am a provision dealer. I know Joseph Peck. He carried on business in Brownlow-bill and London-road. Thomas Phillip Peck carried on business in the same place. I remember having seen Joseph Peck on the 11th April. He came to my counting-house for the pur _ pose of buying butter. Mr. Murphy here raised an objection, which, after having been argued at some length, was overruled by the Recorder. Anthony Wilkinson, examination continued.—l said that on the 11th of April be came to my office to buy some butter. He wished to purchase 100 firkins. He did purchase them, and said that he would call for them. He stated that they were in want of them for the Brownlow-hill shop. They bad thrice dealt with use before. On the previous occasions we found the cart, and sent the goods up to the Pecks. On this occasion, about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, he him self brought a cart, and one-half of the goods were put into it and taken away. Peck went away with the cart. After the delivery of the goods, I did nut feel satisfied with the manner in which Mr. Peck had bought the goods. He seemed very careless about taking the averages of the tares ; be would take them as they were, and from that and other circumstances I thought that all was not right. 1 sent my warehouseman to the shop in Brownlow-hill: he returned in a short time. In consequence of what he said I and my brother called at Brownlow-hill about six o'clock on the same day. Joseph Peck was in the shop. Before I went into the shop, I called at the cellar door, and asked a man whether be had got fifty firkins of butter in, and he said, no. I then went into the shop, and I said, "You have not got the butters in." He seemed somewhat confused, and was some time be fore he answered. We asked him if they had gone to Lon don-road, and he said, yes. I then told him that they had not. At this time the other brother came out. Knowing that they had no other places of business except those two, I asked where they had taken them. Thomas Phillip said, it was nothing to me were they had taken them ; they had purchased them, and had become responsible for them. They, in fact, refused to tell me anything about them. I saw those goods again a few days afterwards, when the place in Lawton street was broken open. There were butters there I had sold a considerable time before, which we had delivered at Brown low-bill shop, and had got a receipt for. I found the 50 firkins which 1 had sold on the 11th April. There was a considera ble quantity of goods,—bacon, tea, butter, and other things. They were nut displayed as if they seemed intended to be sold. Cross-examined.—The place was a store, and I do not know that it was necessary to have a place for the arrange ment of the goods. I cannot say whether they called themselves wholesale dealers or not, but they cut up the greatest part of their g oods in retail. They said that they wanted the goods; but they only got the 50 firkins. That was because the cart would only carry that number. The others were of course refused. I 'had at first no hesitation in trusting them; for I considered them careful, industrious, hard-working people. The terms were one month's credit, and two months' discount. They owed me some money on the ID h April. I did ask them about it: it was about £6O, one month past due; and they said that they would pay in a few days. Re-examined.—With two previous orders remaining un settled in March, and the one in April, they owed me alto gether £295. By the RECORDER.-1 solicited him to deal with me. I did not offer him six weeks' credit. He wished to draw upon me; but I would not. I told him I would make the terms as light as I could. I - had implicit confidence in them until the 11th of April. The price of butter was steady at that time. William Jones, a carter, proved that he had been employed by Joseph Peck to go to Matthew-street. He was present when it was stated that the goods, fifty firkins of butter, were to go to Brownlow-hill. When be started away, Mr. Peck bad gone into the office, but he rejoined him in Church street, and told him to take the goods to Lawton-street, as they bad a warehouse there. The only one of the three de fendants he knew was Joseph Peck. The warehouse was dark, and he could not identify anyone that was present. Cross-examined.—There was tip concealment; the goods were put in openly. Mr. John Herd.—The firm with which I am connected is Bryans, Herd and Co., provipon dealers. I know two of the Pecks. Thomas cause to my office on the 9th April, and purchased bacon and butter, to the amount of £166. Cross-examined. —1 had had dealings with them for some years. Their trade had gone on increasing, in consequence of their having two shops. It is possible that they might have owed us snore than £2OO at one time. Some months before, they had taken offence because we would not trust them more than one parcel at a time, and left us. They did not come back until the time I have mentioned. I remem ber receiving an anonymous letter, which I sent to the two Pecks. We never were fond of them; but- I thought them industrious and honest. Re-examined—Previous to the receipt of the anonymous letter, we had thought them safe, though we were never very fond of them. Frederick James.—l am in the employ of Messrs. Brvans, Herd and Howarth. I was on the 9th of April last, and re member Thomas Peck coining. He gave an order for 10 firkins of hinter and 20 bales of bacon. That was the order of which the last witness had spoken. He said that he wanted them for immediate use, and would have them taken away there and then. He said nothing about either shop. 31r. Peck got the cart. Cross-examined.—Said nothing to induce them to take more than they wished to have. 1 cannot form any recollec tion of the price of bacon at that time—whether it was rising or not. Joseph Buck, a carter, was employed by Mr. Thos. Peck to cart the last-mentioned goods, and was told, on being en gaged, that he was to take them from Brvans and Co.'s to Brownlow-hill. He went in thatdirection . with his cart, and Peck met him in Church-street. He said he had a ware house much nearer, and told him to take them into Lawton street. 'there was another gentleman there, but he could not tell who he was. Joseph Purcell.---I atn a merchant in Liverpool, and have dealt with Thomas Phillip and Joseph Peck for several years. On the 12th of Alarch they bought butter to the amount of £6O 9s. 3d. On the 19th of Mat;th, for the same article, £6O, and on the 13th April, £l6O. A part of the butter, 12 fir kins, they returned as unsuitable to them, and left my whole account, £2.32 2s. 10d. I believed that they would have paid me, until something occurred afterwards. I received au anonymous letter. William T hornas. —I am clerk for Mr. Buckley, a cheese factor. 1 know the defendant.i. They had transactions with my master. On the 10th April, he ranee to Mr. Buckley's store and purchased cheese to the amount of £3O. On the 11th Joseph called again, hut nothing was done then. On the 11th I offt:red him cheese at a certain price, and on the 12th he came and took a lot to the amount of £65. The goods were not paid for. Cross-examined.—lle told me to get a cart. He seemed wishful to have the cheese on the 11th, hat I could not agree to his price. At nine next morning he canto and gave me the price asked. I could not swear that I did not press bun to buy; but I have no recollection of basing done so. I be lieve I. have solicited them for orders: that is usual. John Thompson Buckley.—l am a cheese factor. I know the defendants,. Thomas Philip and Joseph Peck. I was in Scotland in April. Before going there, on the 13th February, I sold them cheese to the amount of £137. They paid me by a bill of two months; the acceptance was returned when due, on the 16th April. Cross-examined.—They were arrested before that time. Re-examined.—Never knew that they had any places in Lawton-street and Stanhope-street. 1 never had an anony mous letter. Mr. George Crossfielti.—l am a wholesale grocer in Liver pool. I know the two defendants. T hey have dealt with me, and in April last were indebted to me for goods delivered to the amount of £333. I did not know that they had any places of business in Lawton - street and Stau ho pe -street. The goods were principally sugars. Cross-examined.—They had occasionly dealt with the to the amount of £lOO or £l5O. They owed me £5OO before they paid me £ll4 in March. Their orders became gradu ally larger, and their payments rather longer. Thomas Philip baa the reputation of being attentive to business. Mr. Robinson.-1 am a merchan.t in Liverpool. Our firm is Robinson, Perry. and Co. We have had transactions with the two brothers. I remember Joseph Perk coming to our place on the 14th April. He said that he was in immediate want of fine butter, and purchased 20 firkins. That was on Saturday, and it was rather an unusual day for retail dealers to purchase. I did 'not then know that they had been pur chasing from Bryans, Hird, and Co. They now owe me £232 for goods purchased on the 26th and 30th March, and on the 7th and 14th April. There had been an interrup tion to their dealings rot six months before that. On Sept. 22, 1837, one of the brothers purchased bacon to the extent of £'27, which, through some negligence of the clerk, had not been entered into the book. A dispute arose about the cause of the interruption, and the R Ecoit DER ruled that they should not enter into the expla nation. Barclay Clibbord.-1 am a merchant in Liverpool, in part nership with my brother. Know the two defendants. On the sth April, Joseph carne to our office and purchased six hales of bacon, and one hogshead of hams, which amounted to £:: ss. sd. They are not paid for. Cross-examined.—They had dealt with us for about four years, and sundry payments had been made. John Parker.— I am a provision dealer in Liverpool, and knnw Joseph Peck, and his brother. toe grocer. Remember Joseph Peck, in the month of March, the 17111, coining to purchase fine butter, of which he was in immediate want. He wanted five or six bales of bacon, but 1 bad only one, which I sold him. That, with 14 firkins of butter, amounted to £62 15s. 3d. 1 delivered them on the 18th. A day or two after, I saw them in a warehouse in Lawton-street. Cross-examined.- 1 k now a Mr. Youd. I went to him to consequence of an anonymous letter which I received about the Pecks I cannot recollect whether it was before or after I sold the goous to them. Fl e afterwards admitted that it w as atter the receipt or the letter that be sold the goods ] But after they had been arrested they came to buy my goods. Mr. Kellock —I am a prinision dealer, and remember the Pecks, on the 12th of April, purchasing cheese hum me tq l , the extent of £35 Ss. Id. I agreed to take their acceptance at 40 days. It has not been met. Mr William Cummins, a provision denier, also knew the Pecks, and had had transactions with them. On the 6th or 7th of April, Joseph Peck bought 7 bales of bacon from him, worth from £3O to £4O, for which they had net paid. Mr. Yield is a cheese factor, and the Pecks had purchased cheese from him, about the 29th or 30th of Match, to the ex tent of £3l. Mr. Wy nch is a tea-dealer in Liverpool, and knew both the Pecks. They had purchased goods from him frequently. In the month of March they bought tea to the amount of £lOO, and he was a creditor for rather more than £2OO. They sent in the month of April a further order, which was kept in the books until it was seen whether they paid for the former orders. Not doing so, the third was not completed- Mathew Davies Powell.-1 am the agent for the owner of the warehouse in Lawton-street—Mr. Thomas Jevons. On the Bth of April, Samuel and another of the Pecks came to me, and I let the warehouse to them. They told me that they lived in Browntew-hill, and that they wanted to* take the warehouse from me for a provisien store. I agreed to let them have it. 1 let it to Mr Samuel Peck for £4O a-year, and it was particularly explained by the other brother that Samuel was to be the tenant. They were entire strangers to me, and I did not let the place till I had gone and inspected the shop in Brownlow-hill. I saw two gentlemen there; but 1 think neither of them was Satnue'. I think that the two I saw were the two others at the bar. The other two brothers were tube the guarantee for the rent, though Samuel was to be the tenant. . _ Cross-examined.—When I went to the shop it appeared to me like one in good business, and that induced me to let them have the shop. Mr. William Cotter.—l am the owner of some premises in Stanhope-street. I remember Samuel Peck coining to me • in April; and on the 3rd of that month I let him a shop in Stanhope-street. When he first made application, I hesi tated to let him have it; but a day or two after itomas came and said that he had two places of business, one in Brown low-hill and the other in London-road : he said that he and his brother Joseph would be guarantee for Samuel. When I found them b ear ing such an appearance of respectability. I did not require their guarantee, but they distinctly stated that Samuel was to be considered the tenant. . - • - 31r. Wiliam M'Kay, a IN holesale grocer in Liverpool.—l know the two . brothers Peek. I had two or three transac• ti. 1121 is trade wits thew, The last was on the `Lsttli March, when I sold to Thomas Peck sugar to the amount of £207 7s. Bd. The two brothers were debited with it. I have never been paid. Cross-examined.—They did not say that the Messrs. Cross field had refused them sugars. The same man came about a week after, and gave me an order which would have amounted to more than the last; but I, thinking that they could not have consumed what they had got, declined to execute the order. Mr. John Power.-1 am a provision -merchant in Liver pool. I knew the brothels Peck, and have had transactions with them. On the 11th April Joseph came and wanted two hhds. of hams, which I refused to let him have, as there was £9O due to me, and £l3O becoming due. He stated that he . had no hams to keep him going, and that if I would let him have them he would pay his account on Monday. I agreed to let him have a hale 0) go on with, and if he paid on Mon- day he should have the hhds. He had previously used my cart; but he then said, "No, no; your man asks drink." He took the bale away in his own cart. A few days after I saw the same bale, with one or two hams taken out, in the warehouse in Lawton-street. It had the shipper's mark on it. The whole sum which he owed me was £239. He came again on Monday; but as he did not bring the money, I would not let him have the goods. Mr. Kirby, officer to the sheriff and sergeant-at-mace in Liverpool.—On the 14th April 1 arrested the two Pecks, and again on the 17th and 18th on two suits. I received orders to take possession on the 19th. 1 went to London road. Mr. Samuel Peck was standing on the steps. I told him my business; he followed me in, and said that all the goods were his. His brothers owed him 1:600; andthey had transferred those and other goods to him. He did not say where the goods were; but he said that he had a warehouse in Lawton-street and one in Stanhope•street, and claimed all. On the 19th I took possession of a warehouse in Lawton street. There was a large quantity of butter and bacon, together with cheese, tea, and sugar. The goods were all in a disturbed state. I went to Stanhope-street also on the same day, and took possession of a shop there. It was a closed shop. There was a considerable quantity of provisions there, of which I took possession. Took Joseph, and left Thomas behind in London-road. John M`Dermot.—l was shopman to the two defendants, and was so in April last. There was in the shop a drawer; it was under the shelf that held the cannisters ; the drawer was locked. After Joseph had been taken away, Thomas Philip went and unlocked the drawer. He put his hand in. When be took his hand out, he turned round, and put it into his trower's pocket. He then locked it again. It was never opened again until the officers came, when there were found in it a few papers. Cross-examined.—l carry on the shop in London-road now. 1 was accused of writing anonymom letters. I did write several—six or seven. They were written in the be ginning of April. My employers had been pressed before by their creditors. I was examined before the commissioner, and was scolded very much by him for writing those letters. Re-examined.—l wrote them because I thought they were not carrying on their business fairly. The creditors were calling for payment, and they were getting in more goods than they used to do. A great deal of goods were removed in cart loads from the shop, after they had been brought there. The first load was taken away on the sth of April. After that time, several curt-loads were taken away in one day. The assignees put me in the shop as a reward for my integrity. I had nothing but medit. Mr. William Miller.—l am one of the partners of the house of Miller and Peel. I remembet the creditors of the Pecks meeting at my office. r. Bardswell was there.. The defendants were both in custody at the lock-up. I was de sired to send for them; but I was not present when the l'ecks were there. It was a matter of astonishment that I was not asked to be present. I was solicitor to the creditors, and re quested to call the meeting. I made a communicat ion, under the authority of the Pecks, to the creditors. I had bad some conversation with the Pecks, and had learned what they were able to do. The communication had some reference to that —of the poundage which they could pay—but of the precise nature of the pay I have no recollection. Mr. attended the meeting of creditors on the 19th of April. The two Pecks were not present. Mr. Miller was present. The two brothers, Thomas and Joseph, were sent for, and came. Mr. Miller did not come hack. They said that they would go out and consult with him ; and when they came back they said that they could pay about 4s in the pound. That offer was rejected. The creditors wished them to *wake an assignment; but they declined doing so unless they had a release horn every creditor. They said that they owed their brother Samuel £l5OO. We told them that unless they made an assignment we could not give them a release. They par ticularly stated that the property iu Stanhope-street belonged to Samuel. The creditors wished to have an assignment of the whole four places, in London:road,Brounlow-hill, Law ton-street, and Stanhope-street. A dividend has been made; but I do know what it is exactly—it is somewhere about 4s. I never knew until that time that they had any shops in Stan hope-street and Lawton-street. Mr. Powell.—Before the arrest I had some conversation with Thos. Philip Peck. I asked hiaLabout the state of his affairs, and he said that they were perfectly satisfactory to himself. 1 asked him if by that he meant that he could pay 20s. in the pound, and he said that it was not a proper ques tion. I saw him afterwards, and I told him that as he had been receiving £lOO a week, and had been paying nothing. I should think that he had large sum of money. He replied that they might pay 4s. in the pound; but if they were driven to bankruptcy they could not pay more than 2s. Gd. We have received a dividend of 6s. Bd. At the meeting of creditors I asked bins some questions, and they replied that the property in Stanhope-street belonged to their brother Samuel. They owed him £1,500, and they had given him the property as a security. I said that Samuel was only a man receiving 245. i week, and bow was it that he became pos sessed of so much money ? That, they said, they`knew no-, thing about. The whole of their liabilities was about £4OOO. Mr. Wynch accompanied Mr. Kirby to Lawton-street, and they found there a heterogeneous mass of provisions. In Stanhope-street there was a quantity of bacon in the cellar; sonic cheese in what should have been the sitting-room, and hams hanging up iu the shop. The nett proceeds for the goods found there, after deducting all charges, was £773. They had been sold, perhaps, at a reduction of £lO per cent. I found some tea in the warehouse in Lawton street, which I could identify. I was at the meeting of creditors, and I re collect the Pecks stating that they had no property in Lon don-road; they had set it to their brother. While is prison, - they sent frequent communications to me, stating that they might be able to make disclosures which would liberate them selves and their brother. On calling with au attorney, how ever, they refused to say any thing. I afterwards received a communication through - tie chaplain of the gaol; but, as they were in the hands of justice, I refused to interfere. Mr. David Prukerton.—l am an attorney, resident it Crosby. I remember Joseph coming to me on Good Friday, the 13th April. He said that he and his brother owed Samuel a sum of money, and they wanted to transfer the shop and stock in London road to him. I came to town and saw the three brothers that day. I then merely took their in structions; but on the Saturday I went again to Brownlow hill. I took their instructions, and drew out the draft. (The draft was produced and identified by witness.) The draft was read over, approved, and afterwards engrossed by me on a 355, stamp, at their house. The amount of consideration was £6OO. It was executed by the conveying parties, and I left it on the table before the three brothers. I was one of the witnesses; the shopman was another. A notice to produce the original had been given: but de fendants' counselsaid that they had not got it. Mr. MURPH Y objected to the draft being received, on account of the stamp not being sufficient. The RECORDER would allow the draft to be read, but would take a note of the objection. Mr. Pinkerton.—The draft is not an accurate copy; there is some difference in the n ames, but the description is correct. The substance is precisely the same. The draft did iu fact transfer the stock-in-trade and good-will to Samuel for the consideration mentioned. I went and gave Samuel posses. sion. In the name of the goods I gave him a ham, and a coffee-mill affixed to the shop for the fixtures, and fur the good-will the coffee-mill answered. The deed was then executed. There were directions given to the shopman to change the name from Thomas Philipand Joseph to Samuel, ' and one of the former said that the servants were to consider Samuel as their master. 1 never before in my life executed a deed on the premises. Cross•examined.—l knew them before, but only by sight. I cannot telt why they applied to me. Thos. Philip Peck I paid for the stamp and deed-355. for the former, and £2 for the latter. Mr. Youd.—When they were in gaol, they wrote to me two letters. I went to the gaol and sate the two defendants. There was a lengthy conversation, and I told the Pecks that if they would give up the £5OO which was supposed to have been taken bv Thomas Philip Peck from the drawer in the shop] and throw themselves on the mercy of the creditors, we should not pursue the case further. They seemed to say that they had not so much as the £5OO referred to. They said that they would not like to give the whole of the money up, as they wished to have something to start the world with when they came out. The bell then rang, and I left; I did not call again, though I then promised to do so. They said that they could pay about £3OO, but no more. Mr. Houlgrave.—Mr. Saml. Peck has been in my service as a cooper for twelve years, at the rate of 21s. a week. He has a wife and seven children. Cross-examined.—Hi s character during that period has been very good. He had, as I have heard, £250 by his first wife, and had saved £lOO more. This terminated the case for the prosecution. • Mr. Mcitestv then addressed the jury in defence of his clients. He said that the jury ought to be perfectly satisfied that there had been a conspiracy with intent to defraud cer tain persons. The mere fact of their having purchased goods, even to an extent greater than they required, was no proof of an intent to defraud. They had carried on an increasing business for many years, and with perfectly fair and honour able characters. flow, then, could it be supposed that they had at once changed their whole natures, and commen ed a conspiracy of the natnre with which they were charged? Tne • whole secret of the affair was plain to all. The characters of the defendants had been tarnisikr d and rendered suspicioui by the secret actions, the anunnous letters, sit' a disrei,ute able servant ; and they, when 'they found that their charac ters were going, endeavoured to prevent inevitable ruin by drawing around them a stock of goods, to serve their rice,,- sary purposes until they had again the opportunity of re-esta blishing themselves. The establishment of their brother Sa muel in two places, was merely a necessary result of the For tner act:, his two shops were opened fur the purpose of hav ing a greater outlet for the greater quantity of goods which they had on hand. But that there was any conspiracy to defraud, he could not for a moment believe. The fact which had been paraded as the most striking proof of dishonesty, cats the so called abstraction by one of the brothers of 1.:506 from a drawer in the shop: but he begged them to remember that there was not one tittle of legal evidence to support that charge. He should repeat it, that the mere naked fact of possession was nothing. They might have had twenty thou sand times that amount of goods in their possession, and still that was nor crhne. They must be satisfied that there had been a previous determination to defraud, er the defendants could not bp found guilty of the charge contained in the in dictment. The means which the defendants had taken (when well-earned independence was sinking from beneath them through the conduct of a viperous servant) to uphold them selves in the world, might have sprung from a wrong notion; but be maintained that there was no proof of an intentio n t o defraud. It was an utter impossittility that men of irre proachable honesty could in one fortnight sink into depths of dishonesty and crime. The Learned Recommit summed up. He said that the charge contained in the indictment was a specific one, and did consist in the mere fact of getting goods, but getting them with a predetermination not to pay. He went minutely through the evidence, and said that if the jury were satisfied that the goods bad been accumulated with the intention of tieing appropriated to their own private purposes, and with no bona fide intention to pay, then the principal charge con tained iu the first count of the indictment was undoubtedly proved. The jury, then, as twelve intelligent men, would have to say whether, looking at all the circumstances of the case, the whole transaction struck them as one of over-tra ding, or as a conspiracy to derraud. The jury, after consulting together for a few moments, re tired for consultation. Mr. COTTINGH AAI then said that the learned gentleman who had conducted the case for the defendants, had thought proper to attribute vindictive motives to the creditors iu nringing the present action; and he felt himself bound, as he was instructed, to state that their sole object had been the public good. He should be extremely sorry that any such • ialse impression should go abroad as that the prosecutors were actuated by vindictiveness.—Mr. JAMES (in the ab sence of Mr. Murphy) thought lie might rake upon him to state that Mr. Murphy had had no intention of attributing to the prosecutors any vindictive motive. After an absence of about a quarter of an hour, the jury returned, and gave in a verdict of guilty against the three defendants. The ItEcORDEn then briefly addressed the prisoners, after which he sentenced Themes Philip Peck and Joseph Peck to , be imprisoned for two ) - cars, and Samuel Peck fur one year. With this case, which occupied the court until nearly five o'olvck, the bteineas of the seesionsdr:ourt terminated. LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. LECTURES ON ASTRONOMY. On 'Wednesday evening, John Wallis, Esq. commenced a popular course upon this grand science. The science (said Mr. \Valiis) to which I have the honour of calling your attention in this course, correctly speaking, ought to be called one of hypothesis. It differs, therefore, very widely in its nature, and the evidence of which it is susceptible, from all those branches of science to whir b your attention is generally directed in this theatre; for in the lat• ter you have in most cases had the various iheories demon- strated by analytical and synthetical proofs. Now, strictly speaking, we can bting neither the one nor the other of these species of evidence to bear upon astronomical science. My business, therefore, is to explain the appearances which the material substances with which we have to deal present to us, and therefore our science differs from the other branches of natural philosophy. In chemistry or any other science the demonstrator produces to you the simple elements from which he may compound a body, or he takes the compound body, decomposes it, and proves the atoms of which it consists. Now in one respect we may see that it is impossible in astro nomy to give anything like experiments,—that is, the expe riments which I shall introduce must be disencumbered from so .many adventitious circumstances by which they are at tended, that, strictly speaking, they can only serve as general illustrations of principle. Here, then, is one of the difficul ties attending our branch of enquiry, and another is that the very magnificence and grandeur of our subject places it beyond our reach, and is takes a very lively imagination to grasp its various details. If I could take you under the azure canopy of heaven, and there explain to you the sublimities of astronomical science, I should excite your feelings so as to command your attention; but we moat strip our subject of its natural tnajesty and sublimity, and on many occasions add so many appendages, and seek to explain appearances, some of which are not in accordance with the evidence of our senses, so that we labour under many disadvantages in proving those circumstances which we wish to impress upon your understanding. If you will, however, give me your candid attention, 1 think that although we cannot demon strate astronomy by analytical and synthetical evidence, yet you will understand from the nature of our subject, and the different kinds of evidence of which it is susceptible, that our conclusions will be as sound (this being premised) as those to which we arrive by auy experiments of the most demonstrative kind. _ Tins e.vening I would call your attention to a class of facts which will throw much light upon our future progress. We must first understand our local situation in the universe. We conceive ourselves to be established upon a planet of the solar system—the earth. Now we assume that this plant is itself moving, and that we are viewing many similar bodies which are also moving, around the same grand centre the sun. We therefore assume now a very considerable step= we will take a stand at once, in order to lay before you a subsequent process, which will go much more into minute details than that to which we now advert. We must assume something in a science which only ascends to hypothesis. Your view is from our own planet, and this planet is itself in motion. Now in our subject, which treats upon the mere elementary -parts of nature's works, we shalt proceed by analogy. - Now analogy, when properly applied, constitutes the very essence of philosophy : it is by it that we descend from generals to particulars, or ascend from particulars to generals. Now by carrying out analogy, we find that facts which do not admit of any other mode of reasoning have yielded to it. We find that the sun, moon, and stars appear to be in constant motion around us. By motion we infer a change of place of one body with re- spect to another; but this motion may be either apparent or real with respect to the bodies concerned. Now, it does ap pear to us that all the universe around us is incessantly moving. If this motion is real, we must seek for as many causes of motion as there are facts presented to us. We are acquainted wills hundreds of millions offixed stars, and each of these immense bodies, (for immense they must be to be visible at such enormous distances as they are placed from us,) and we must ask for some cause of the apparent motion of these bodies. It would be very remarkable when we came to observe millions of these bodies, if all of them should re volve around us in the same period of time. Here would be one difficulty; another difficulty which presents itself to us is, that while they all appear to revolve around us in the same period of time, that they all appear to perform other changes with regard to one another in their diurnal motion. Now, we may ask whether this apparent motion of the universe around us may not arise from our eyes being placed iu the centre of this apparent system of motion, and that, in fact, we ourselves may be in motion, thereby causing this appear ance of the universal motion of bodies. Therefore, without encumbering you with evidence, let us at once imagine our selves to be spectators on the earth, andtfie earth to have a rotation around its centre, which communicates the apparent motion to all the universe around us in a contrary direction. AU the difficulties of our argument are at once explained by this; and it is my business to explain appearances by hypo thetical evidence, offering no physical cent radictions. Now let us attend to what the telescope makes us acquainted with, in regard to other bodies. Let us suppose ourselves trans ferred to the moon, and we have every reason to believe that it is an inhabited body. There is no doubt whatever that were we inhabitants on the surface of the moon, that instead of seeing the universe going round us once in 24 hours, me should there see the universe of son, stars, and planetary bo dies revolving once in 27 days, seven hours and 43 minutes, because this is the very period in which the moon revolves on her axis. Again, let ourselves be inhabitants of the planet Jupiter. This planet turns upon its axis in nine hours and 56 minutes. From its surface, therefore, the whole universe would appear to revolve around us in that time. Saturn turns upon his axis in 10 hours and 16 minutes, consequently, as in the other instances, that would be the time in which, apparently to a spectator, the universe would , turn round when viewed from that planet. Now, why should we not from analogy consider that whilst these various planets are in mo tion iu their centres, our earth, which is no doubt analagous in every point of view, appears to their inhabitants as a mere glittering star. Under these circumstances we cannot but conclude that it is our own earth which revolves on its axis in 24 hours from west to east, which causes the apparent ro tation of the heavenly bodies in that time from east to west. Here, then, is one simple and singular cause which goes to explain, without any degree of perplexity or incursibrance, the cause of the apparent revolution of six hundred mil lions of heavenly bodies. Again, not only have we analogy to bear us out, but we have another very striking fact; it is the only conceivable hypothesis which wilt explain satisfactorily, that the universal heaven does not revolve around the centre or the earth as it appears to do, but that the revolution of the earth upon its own axis, produces these appearances. This explains the reason why those stars which are opposite the north and south axis of the earth have no motion at all. We now take another step, and it is this. We find by the aid of our telescopes that the planets Jupiter and Saturn, (of whose rapid revolution upon their centre we have the most palpable evidence) are largest in the diameter, drawn at right angles to the axis of rotation , so that they deviate somewhat from a globular appearauce. We can tell in what direction these planets rotate, by various lines and spots which are to be discerned upon their surface. This is also the case with Saturn and Mars, as we find upon measuring their diameters with the micrometer. It is evi dent that during the rotation of the earth upon the axis pass ing through its poles, that every part of it will he moving, but that the portions near the equator will move faster than any other portion. .The consequence of this is, that theeaith cannot remain globular when put into rapid motion, on ac count of the centrifugal force which gives every thing situ ated near the equator, a certain disposition to fiy away from the earth. This centrifugal force at the equator is very con siderable, because the earth moves at the rate of 25,000 miles in 24 hours. The consequence of this is, that the earth is less in diameter at the axis of rotation than at right angles to it, in which there is a striking analogy to the appearances presented to us by the other planets. We may now take another step in our argument to prove that our earth does ro tate upon its axis, which causes it to be flatter at the poles than it is at the equator. By accurate measurement we find such to be. the case, although it was discovered by Newton before any measurement had been made. It is evident that gravity is a principle tending downwards. Everything upon the surface of the earth possesses weight, because it. is near the earth, as there is a tendency in the particles of matter to be attracted, and to attach each other in relation to their bulk and freedom of action. Now suppose a body at Liver pool has by virtue of this attraction of gravitation a ten dency to fall downwards, this tendency would be diminished upon removing it to the equator, because we move here at the rate of 500 miles an hour only, wheieas, at the equator we should be carried with a velocity of 1,000 miles an hour. The centrifugal force at the equator, therefore, acting in op position to the force of gravity, lessens the tendency of bodies to fall to the earth at that portiun oft he globe. This cannot be shown experimentally by the falling of bodies at the equator; and here, because the difference is too slight for the eye to discern, but we can calculate it accurately by means of the pendulum. A pendulum is a mass of matter suspended by a cord or rod. By means of this beautiful con trivance we observe that bodies do not fall so fast at Li verpool as they would fall if we carried them further from the equator towards the pules, and that a pendulum which makes 86,400 oscillations at the equator in 24 hours, makes 86,535 oscillations at London in the same period of time. Here, therefore, we have a direct experimental proof of the dimi nution of gravitation at the equator, in consequence of the opposition of centrifugal force. This striking fact was, like many others, accidental iu its discovery- It was the opinion of Newton that the earth, like other planetary bodies, was really flatter at the poles than the equator, but eassini main tained that the earth was a true sphere and not an oblate spheroid. Now to settle thisdispute it was necessary that ob aged b ittir l o. : .ha i ier t s : l, l s, O c l s curious tfkiouldbe inquiry, trade. and a D s Different rs n r nations the were greatesteng n p e , noei portions n were e tit)h r bf e eet I:l ( re l e, e , s ri t s. iloefirr earth—someti jt a(1,1:7.rt.e,i essentialrse.ttillte capitals ea, r toadifferent others as t o th " a c t ett thesea iti the different true astronomers should exactly agree o~servatiuus, and kuoty each others rt s t h o i ts t i !nice: curious sli observation, the e ,),: o r t a r t linsailde pteeisiun.

Those who found that their clocks gained in time supposod that it occurred by the shortening of the pendulum, by the reduction of the temperature in higher or colder late lettere But the increase o diminutinn in the length of the pendulum did not account tor the difference, and thus this accidental ciictrinstance proved to them the correttness of Newton's theory before they had time to solve it. The equa torial diameter is thus shown, by weeny of the pendulum, to be 34 or 36 miles lugger than that of the polar, being ab .ut the 300th part of the allele axis of rotation. Now a very curious Net yet remains to be brought before your notice—that while at the equator the diurnal motion would lessen the force of the gravity about-the 289. h part, the real diminution is in tact the 194:11 part. The reason is this. If we come to suppose the attraction of a sphere, every part at an equal distance from the centre, we find that it will attract abu.teliyr we coneplaseti to he a solidatsi d li v iarrlistr , i ) . l e 4 s a, f e ro s t p ri surface, h i e is roidi iiis equally, b is no longer the case. Then we shall find that a body at the poles will be more powerfully attracted than a body placed at the equatorial regions, stile- H ee „s - that centrifugal force were entirely kept.out of the questieu. Consequently e ol th th e e nr e u a o r i t c h m a i t there are two causes operat in g to p r oduce the difference be tween the amount of grav i ty at the p o les and at the equator, namely the greater i th i e h e e s e u n a r t t t h )r u t p h o a n n found to be currents o f a i r w hi c h a l at the poles, and the increased ce n tr ifugal force. rotundityit its wn axie s. windsl,ll 'There e o to are different seasons - of the year take different directions from each side of the equator. Now as we find that the sun is nearly vertical over a zone of 47 degrees in breadth, of course this being the hottest region of the earth, the air must neces sarily be more rarified there. Now the atmospheric air is attracted by the earth and carried around with it in its orbit, the _direct. enotionsof the earth is e impart edits this air, and it does not indteate in any manner this relation. But there comes in a fresh cause. The caloric of the sun's rays we all know will expand all aeriferm substances, and the air suffering expaosiun in the equatorial regions be comes specifically lighter, and ascends to higher regions of our atmosphere. By this means the stratum of air which on a hot summers morning will be on the surface of the earth is by noon elevated, and a colder volume of air rushes in from below to occupy the spiice previously occupied by the air which has . ascended. The air which travels from higher latitudes to supply the deficiency not having !he same velocity of motion as the air its the equaleriol regions, will therefore tag behind, and it will not consequently flow to the equator from north to south, and from south to north, but from north east to the south-east, and consequently we shall have at dif ferent seasons of the year currents train the directions about the equator. Again the air from the higher equatorial re gions will, as it cools,eentract in volume and flow downwards to the north and south, but not directly so, because it has previously acquired a velocity greater than that of the places to which itia carried. The consequence of this is that we shall have currents of air from the equator to the poles in I south-easterly and north-easterly directions at different periods of the year, and hence we have the solution of the great prevalence of south-westerly winds at different seasons of the bear in these lati►udes. Thus we find that the trade winds which are of so much importance to commerce are a peat atmospherical phenomenon in combination with the dint tisl rotation of the earth upon its axis.

Lugos.—From all that we can learn, we are inclined to believe that in sonic branches of bu,iness, more especially those relating to fancy articles, a considerable slackness has recently begun to prevail, and that there are not so many workmen engaged as ut late; still, if we are to judge by the amount of business transacted in our Piece Halls, we should say that there is still a good trade doing in the staple com modity of the district. On Tuesday the market was very blisk, and the sales were extensive; but on Saturday they were more limited, owing, as was generally supposed, to the want of a sufficiently var►ous assortment. BRA DFonn MARKET.—The demand for manufactured goods here, on Thursday, was by no means so brisk as it has been of late, but still there was a degree of firmness in the market which prevented any declension of prices. There was an average amount of business doue in earns, on former terms ; and the demand for both curling and short wools was good, at late quotations. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—The demand for goods here on Tuesday was again brisk, the principal sales effected being in Fancy Doeskins, Tweeds, and Buckskins of low quality. Plain cloths were dull of sate, but the price of Woois expe rienced a slight improvement. HECKMUNDWIKE.—The Blanket Hall here during the last few market days has been but thinly attended by the flier chants; the demand for goods has consequently out been so great,-and this, with the high price of wool, is injuring the manufacturers. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, OCT. 26.—We have had a good demand for all deep Combing Wools through the week, and as the supply at market is nut large, we have been able to obtain some little advance in ►hem; there is a ready sale for the finer qualities of Combing, as well as all Short Wools, at full prices. Y OR K WOOL MARKET, Om 25.—Our supply and demand of Wool to this day's market has been tolerably good. A slight improvement in pikes has been manifested, and most of the lots have been sold. BARNSLEY LINEN TRADE.—The various branches of our manufactory are in full operation. The difficuly in getting low goods woven is becoming more apparent every day, as the operatives are particular in their selection of reeds, a circumstance which invariably occur during a brisk time. CHESTERFIELD WOOL FAIR, OCT. 24.—There is very little doing in the wool trade in this quarter, especially in long wools, which are still depressed in price. and are what is termed nearly out of the market. The only demand is for fine hug, which maintains its price. NEWSPAPER LITERATURE. The English newspaper is the most comprehensive in the world. It contains more articles of inte►ligence than the journals of any other country, and there is more mind en gaged in its production than is brought to any similar publi cation in any part of Europe. Yet, not withstanding these ad vantages, which are as striking as they are important, the English newspaper exhibits more extraordinary instances of bathos than any other periodical whatever—not even except ing the American broad-sheets. its sins in this way are ren dered the more glaring by the obvious skill and care that are usually bestowed upon all its departments. We have an instance of this spitit of bombast and exavger ation before us, in an account recently published by a Liver pool paper of the experimental trip of a great steam ship, called the Liverpool, from that port to Dublin. After de scribing the party on board, and the grandeur of the cabins, the writer proceeds to give an accurate narrative of the ship's progress, and of the sensations and impressions it created. His enthusiasm is evidently excited wale highest point com patible with the power of description, and he indulges in that topmost " bravery of speech," a hich, when it does nut exceed the dignity of the subject, is propetly termed eloquence, but which, employed to elevate to undue exalatiun a very ordi nary matter, 'is something exactly the reverse. The trip from Liverpool to Dublin one might think could yield nothing very remarkable in the way of description ; but genius can extract stinbeains from cucumbers. Turning into the Hock Channel, the writer says that they began to "feel a swell of the sea," which was certainly cot very surpising, considering the simple fact that the vessel was then getting into the chan nel; hut, having got there, some curious objects were. de veloped before the wondering party. " During occasional gleams of sunshine, Hilbre Island and the shores on the estuary of the Dee looked beautiful. We now observed that the hills behind the Ormshead were covered with 'a thin coating of snow, and the chilliness of the wind be tokened a premature visit of winter." That the shores of the Dee looked beautiful during the gleams of sunshine, is a phenomenon in natural history worthy of record, and the chilliness of the wind during the season of the equinox, may fairly be set down as another. But the narrator of the voyage does not rise to the full gran deur of his powers, until he comes to give au account of the manner in which the Liverpool made her way through the water—the Water Witch was a piece of lead compared to her. "The ship underwent a fair trial during the height of the breeze and the swell, and behaved most admirably, easiug herself in their emergency, and disappointing the saucy waves that threatened to roll over her, by rising gently upon them, and which her paddles dashed the tops into foam. She also steered with the greatest facility, one hand being sufficient to give her safe quidance, even in the heaviest of the sea, as was proved by Sir John Tobin, himself, who steered her with all the enthusiasm of an amateur, and the skill of a sailor, for se veral leagues. It was a glorious sight to stand near the wheel of this stupendous ship (235 feet in length,) and mark with %shilt indignant velocity, 'like a thing of life,' she cut through the mountainous element that boiled and paw ne d around her, and vainly sought to oppose her progress, without once shipping a sea; propelled by two engines, wonderful in their might, and in their operation so easy and regular, us to convey a perfect dependence Upon their strength and durability. To see this—to take a long walk, too, upon her spacious decks —a lounge through her palace-like cabins, feeling as secure as on terrafirma—all conveyed to the mind a peculiar, indescri bable, but delightful sensation—that of the accomplishment of one of the noblest triumphs of human science, ingenuity, and enterprise that the world has yet witnessed.' Here we have a steam-ship disappointing the saucy waves by rising upon them, and dashing their tops into foam' with her paddles, exhibiting also the curiou s example of a ship steered by one man,. Sir John 'robin himself, and nobody else, being the enterprising individual who stood at the wheel, a steam-ship cutting a mountainous element that possessed the uncommon qualities of boiling and yeeeijug,, with engines wonderful in their iniuht, although not halfs o mighty as won ferful, and conveying by the regularity and care of their oper ation a dependence on their strength and durability—such a steam-ship as this a gentleman might take a long walk in without being tired, and he might take a still longer walk without falling in with a sight so extraordinary. The art of description consists in adapting your phrases to the object described, and in never exceeding the demands of the occasion. When you describe a naut cal object, it is es sential to employ accurate nautical language, or, at all events, not to risk expressions which expose you to ridicule—land images of the sea. In the account of the Liverpool, from which we have taken these brief extracts, we have a multi-. tude of grandiloquent pictures, which, reduced to real matter of fact, are as common-place as can well be•conceiyed, but which become distorted by the voyager into monsters of sci ence and natural curiosity. This species of newspaper liter, sone cannot be too earnestly deprecated, not merely for the sake of the influence of the press-as a medium of observation, but for the interests of knowle d g e, which is greatly shamed and hurt by such excesses—meaning , nothing better than 'the puff that hides the pastry. Let us have the substantial pastry —lint banish t his intangible cloud by which it is too frequently crowned and obscured.—Atles.

GRACE DARLING.—This humane anti heroic f ema l e re ceived a letter a few days ago from a lady at Alawick, ing a five-pound note, and requesting in return fur it a lock of her hair. Several ladies who have recently visited tbe Fern Islands have solicited and obtained several tokens.of remembrance; and there seems a probability, if the do sand should continue, that she will. ere long, have to seek an arti ficial covering for her head. It appeals somewhat absurd to endeavour thus to deprive Miss Darling■ of her ringlets, but it at the same time shows that her humanity and heroism have made a deep impression on those who are desirous la possessing them.

LUCKY liEcoysay.--A gentleman by the Manchester coach, last Friday afternoon, lost his gold watch, worth forty Pounds- somewhere on the road between Ashopton and Snake Immediately on his arrival in Manchester, he had handbills litinted,iiffering a reward of two pounds to whoever would restore o. Two of his ft tends nn theit way to Sheffield, next day, made enquiries at every inn on the road, and at last learned that a watch had been found by some pig-drivers on their way to Sheffield:. On their arrival here, they conti nued their enciniri , 's, and traced it to one of Mr. Ward's men, %shit immediately gave it up, stating that he had never had a moment's peace since it came into his possession, as he was afraid it might have been stolen. One of his pies had first scented the gold, but it was too indigestible, and after two or three ineffectual attempts to crack its shell, old porker was obliged to drop it. It was then picked up by an Irishman, who disposed of it to the person in whose posses sion it was found, for two shillings. Altogether it had a lucky escape, first front being broken to pieces by the pig, then in its value not being discovered by the Irishman, and lastly, by the honesty of the inan.—Sheffield leis.
