MICHAELMAS QUARTER SESSIONS, .. ~ r.. , ..,4,,,,.. .:,.-.„:„....,,...... ... „ FRIDAY. re.zAL OF THE MESSRS. PECK 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. COTTINon Aat and Mr. lirs iiToN appeared for the pro,ecution, and Mr. Mcityity and Mr. Jams fur the de fendants. Mr. COTTINGI4.‘II stated the case at considerable length, after which evidence was produced. 441.y,Wilkiitam was first called, and deposed,—l am a merchant, and' carry emple-place, corner of Matthew-street, Liverpool; I am a provision dealer. I know Joseph Peck. He carried on busiuess 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 he came to rriN 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 had thrice dealt with me 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 not feel satisfied with the manner in which Mr. Peck had bought the goods. He seemed very careless about taking the averages of the tares ; he would take them as thsy were, and from that and other circumstances I thought that all was not right. I 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 ether brother came out. Knowing that they bad no other places of business except those two, I asked where they had taken then,. 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 Law ton street was broken open. There were butters there I had sold a considerable time before, ahtch we had delivered at Brown low-hill shop, and had got a receipt for. 1 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 not displayed as if they seemed intended to be sold. Cross-examined.—The place was a store, and 1 do not know that it was necessary to have a place for the arrange. client of the goods. I cannot say whether they called themselves wholesale dealers or not, but they cut up the greatest part of their goods 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 cour!e 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 11th 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 RECORDEit.-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 bad implicit confidence in them until the Ilth of April. The price of butter was steady at that time. William Jones, a carter, proved that be bad 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 he 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 had 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 any one that was present. Cross-examined.—There was no concealment; the goods were put in.opeuly. Mr. John Herd.—The firm with which I am connected is Bryant., Herd and Co., provision dealers. I know two of the Pecks. Thomas came to my office on the 9th April, and purchased bacon and butter, to the amount of £166. Cross-examined.---I 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 ns more 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 1 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 bad thought them safe, though we were never very fond of them. Frederick James.—l am in the employ of Messrs. Bryans, Herd and Howarth. I was on the 9th of April last, and re member Thomas Peck coming. He gave an order for 10 firkins of butter 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. Mr.. Peck got the cart. Cross-examined.—Said nothing to induce them to take more than they wished to have. I 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 be was to take them from Bryans and Co.'s to Brownlow-hill. He went in that direction with his cart, and Peck met hint in Church-stree►. lie 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 Powell.—l am a merchant in Liverpool, and have dealt with Thomas Phillip and Joseph Peck for several years. On the 12th of March they bought butter to the amount of £6O N. 3d. On the 19th of March, for the same article, £6O, and ou the 13th April, £l6O. A part of the butter, 12 fir kins, they returned as unsuitable to them, and left my whole account, £232 . 21. lOd. I believed that they would have paid me, until something occurred afterwards. I received an anonymous letter. William Thomas.—l am clerk for Mr. Buckley, a cheese factor. I know the defendants. They had transactions with my master. On the 10th April, he came to Mr. Buckley's store and purchased cheese to the amount of £3O. On the I lth Joseph called again, but nothing was done then. On the 11th I offered him cheese at a certain price, and on the 12th be came and took a lot to the amount of £65. The goods were not paid for. Cross-examined.--He told me to get a cart. He seemed wishful to have the cheese on the 11th, but I could not agree to his price. At nine next morning he came and gave me the price asked. I could not swear that I did not press hint to buy; but I have no recollection of having done so. I be lievel bate solicited them for orders: that is usual. John Thompson Bnckley.-1 am a cheese factor. I know the defendants, Thomas Philip and Joseph Peek. I was in Scotland in April. Before going there. on the 13th February, I sold them cheese to the amount of 1.:137. They paid me by a bill of two mon►hs; the acceptance was returned when due, on the 16th April. Cross-examined.—They were arrested before that time. Re-examined.—Never knew that they bad any places in Lawton-street and Stachope-street. I never bad an anony mous letter. Mr. George Crossfield.-1 am a wholesale grocer in Liver pool. I know the two defendants. They have dealt with me, and in April last were indebted to toe for goods delivered to the amount of £3.33. I did not know that they had any places of business in Lawton-st re et a nd Stauhope-street. The 'goods were principally sugars. Cross -examined.-1 hey had occasionly dealt with me to the amount of £lOO or £l5O. They owed me £SUO before they paid me £ll4 in March. Their orders became gradu ally larger, and their payments rather longer. Thomas Philip had the reputation of being attentive to business. Mr. Robinson.—! am a merchant in Liverpool. Our firm is Robinson, Perry. and Co. We have had transactions with the two brothers. I remember Joseph Peck 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 interruption to their dealings for 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 &CORDER ruled that they should not enter into the expla nation. Barclay Clibbord.—l am a merchant in Liverpool, in part nership with my brother. Know the two defendants. On the sth April, Joseph came to our office and purchased six -bates of bacon, and one hogshead of hams, which amounted to £BB 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.-1 am a provision dealer in Liverpool, and know Joseph Peek, and his brother, toe grocer. Remember Joseph Peck, in the month of March, the 17th, coming to purchase fine butter, of which he was its immediate want. He wanted five or six bales of bacon, but I had only one, which I sold him. That, with 14 firkins of butter, amounted to £62 15s. 3d. I delivered them on the 18tb. 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 in consequence of an anonymous letter which I received about the Pecks. I cannot recollect whether it was before or after I sold the goons to them. IHe afterwards admitted that it was after the receipt of the letter that he sold the goods.] But after they had been arrested they came to buy my goods. Mr. Kellock.-1 am a provision dealer, and remember the Pecks, on the 12th of April, purchasing cheese from use to the extent of £35 Sc. Id. I agreed to take their acceptance at 40 days. It has not been met. Mr. William Cummins, a provision dealer, 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 bad not paid. Mr. Youd 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. Wynch 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 fur rather more than 1:200. 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-31r. 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 Brownlow-hill, and that they wanted to take the warehouse from me for a provision store. I arreed to let thew have' it. Het it to Mr. Samuel Peck for £AO 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-bill. I saw two gentlemen there; but I think neither of them was Samuel. I think that the two I saw were the two others at the bar. The other two brothers were to be 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 Mr. William Cutter.—l am the owner of some premises in Stanhope-street. I remember Samuel Peck coming 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 aPer ThOmas came cad' said that he had two places of business, one in Brown lptir-h ill and the other in London-road: he said that he and his hi% !Wier Joseph would be guarantee for Samuel. When I fount.( them bearing such an appearance of respectability, I did a:lit require their guarantee., but they distinctly stated that Sam :net was to be considered the tenant. Mr. W UI am M`Kay, a wholesale grocer in Liverpool.—l know th e tiro brothers Peck. I had two or three transac tioskokh oa t 4111 With the*. The last was on the 28th March, when I sold to Thomas Peck sugar to the amount of £207 is. Bd. The two brothers were debited with it. I have never been paid. Cross-examinad.--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.—l am a provision-merchant in Liver pool. I knew the brothers Peck, and have had transac:ions 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 becomiag 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. 1 agreed to let him have a bale to 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 1 saw the same bale, with one or two hams taken out, in the warehouse in Lawton-street. 1t had the shipper's mark on it. The whole sum which he owed me was £239. He came again on Monday; but as be did not bring the money, 1 would not let him have the goods. Mr. Kirby, officer to the sheriff and sergeant-at-mace in Liverpool.—On the 14th April I 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. 1 told him my business; he followed me in, and said that all the goods were his. His brothers owed him £600; and they had transferred those and other goods to him. Ile did not say where the goods were; but he said that he had a warehouse in Lawton-street and ene 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 Stauhope•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, Themes Philip went and unlocked the drawer. lie put his hand in. When he took his band 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 carne, when there were found in it a few papers. Cross-examined.—l carry on the, shop in London-road now. I was accused of writing anonymous 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.--I 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 cart-loads were taken away in one day. The assignees put me in the shop as a reward for my integrity. I bad nothing but credit. Mr. William Miller.-1 am one of the partners of the house of Miller and Peel. I remember the creditors of the Pecks meeting at my office. Mr. Bardswell was there. The defendants were both in custody at the lock up. 1 was de sired to send for them; but I was not present when the Pecks 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 communication, under the authority of the Pecks, to the creditors. I had had 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. Hind.-1 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 back. 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 make an assignment; but they declined doing so unless they had a release from 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 in Stanhope-street belonged to Samuel. The creditors wished to have au assignment of the whole four places, in London-road, Brownlow-hill, Law ton-street, and Stanhope-street. A dividend has been made; but Ido 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 bad some conversation with Thos. Philip Peck. I asked him about 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. 6d. We have received a dividend of 6s. Bd. At the meeting of creditors I asked him some questions, and they replied that the property in Stanhope -street belonged to their brother Samuel. 't he y owed him £1,500, and they bad given him the property as a security. I said that Samuel was only a man receiving 245. a week, and how 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; some cheese in what should have been the sitting-room, and hams hanging up in 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 £3O 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 hail nu property in Lon don-road; they had set it to their Brother. While in 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 an attorney, how ever, they refused to say any thin g . - I afterwards received a communication through the chaplain of the gaol; but, as they were in the bands of justice, I refused to interfere. Mr. David Pinkerton.-1 am an attorney, resident at 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, acd 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. ! MURPII Y objected to the draft being received, on account of the stamp not being sufficient. The - Recommit 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 names, but the description is correct. The substance is precisely the same. The draft did in 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 for 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 Philip and 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 tell ahy they applied to me. Thos. Philip Peck paid fur the stamp and deed-. 454. for the former, and £2 for the latter. Mr. Youd.—When they were in gaol, they wrote to me two letters. 1 went to the gaol and saw the two defendants. There was a lengthy conversation, and I told the Pecks that if they would give up the £5OO Iwhich was supposed to have been taken by 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 earns out. The hell 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. Sarni. Peck has been is my service as a cooper for twelve years, at the rate of 245. a week. Ile has a wife and seven children. Cross-examined.--His character during that period has been very good. He had, as 1 have heard, £250 by his first wife, and had saved £lOO more. This terminated the case for the prosecution. Mr. MORPHY 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. "How, then, could it be supposed that they had at once changed their whole natures, and common, ed a conspiracy of the nature with which they were charged? Tne whole secret of the affair was plain to all. The characters of the defendants had been tarnished and rendered suspicious by the secret actions, the anonymous letters, of a disreput 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 neces 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 mer act: his two shops were opened for 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, was the so call e d a b stract i on b y one o f the b rot h ers o f £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 not crime. They must be satisfied that there had been a previous determination to defraud, or the defendants could nut be found guilty of the charge contained in the in dictment. The means which the defendants had taken (when a well-earned independence was sinking from beneath them through the conduct of a viperous servant) to uphold them selves in the world, miaht have sprung from a wrong notion; but he maintained that there was no proof of an intention to defraud. It was an utter impossibility that men of irre proachable honesty could in one fortnight sink into depths of dishonesty and crime. The Learned RECORDER 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 had been accumulated with the intention of being appropriated to their own private purposes, and with no bona fide intention to pay, then the principal charge con tained in 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 defraud. The jury, after consulting together for a few moments, re tired for consultation. Mr. COTTINGHAM then said that the learned gentleman who had conducted the case for the defendants, had thought proper to attribute vindictive motives to the creditor s in bringing 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 false impression should go abroad as that the prosecutors were actuated by vindictiveness.—Mr. JAMES (in the ab sence of Mr. Murphy) thought he might take upon him to state that Mr, MOrptCy.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 RECORDER then briefly addressed the prisoners, after which he sentenced Thomas Philip Peck and Joseph Peck to be imprisoned for two years, and Samuel Peck fur one year. With this case, which occupied the court until nearly &fa o'clock, the btAinessof the sessions-court 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. Wallis) 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 iu its nature, and the evidence of which it is susceptible, from all those branches of science to which your attention is generally directed in this theatre • for in the lat ter you have in most cases bad the various t heories demon strated by analytical and synthetical proofs. Now, strictly speaking, we can being 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 iu 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 it 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 sublitnities of astronomical science, I should excite your feelings so as to command your attention; but we must strip our subject of its natural majesty 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, I think that although we cannot demon strate astronomy by analytical and synthetical evidence, yet von 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 any experiments of the most demonstrative kind. This evening 1 would call your attention to a class of facts which will throw much light upon our future progress. We must fist 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 or nature's works, we shalt proceed by analogy. Now aualogy, 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 tied 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 with hundreds of millions of fixed 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 he 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 in 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, and the earth to have a rotation around its centre, which communicates the apparent motion to all the universe around us in a contrary direction. All the difficulties of our argument are at once explained by this; and it is my business to explain appearances by hype thence: evidence, offering no physical centradictions. 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, we should there see the universe of son, stars, and planetary bo dies revolving once iu 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 houis 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 in 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 incunibrance, 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 will explain satisfactorily, that the universal heaven does not revolve around the centre of 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 appearance. We can tell in what direction these planets rotate, by various tines 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 thataluring the rotation of the earth upon the axis pass ing through its poles, that every part of it will be moving, but that the portions near the equator will move faster than any other portion. The consequence of this is. that the einth 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 fly 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 eaith 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 Newt's' 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 toe tendency of bodies to fall to the earth at that portion of the 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 poles, and that a pendulum which makes. 86,400 oscillations at the equator in 24 hours, makes 83,535 oscillations at London iu 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 tact was, like ' many others, accidental in 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 Oriasini main tained that the earth was a true sphere and not an oblate s ph e roid. Now to settle this dispute it was necessary that ob servations should be made. Different. nations wets engaged in this curious inquiry, and astrononiets of the greatest eipi , uenee were despatched from different scapitals to different portionless! the earth—some towards the'Muators, and others towards the poles.. Their object was to. ascertain the true fignre of the earth. Now it was essential that these different astronomers should exactly :lame as to the moment of their observations, anti know each others time with the greatest possible precision. But they made this curious observation, till then utterly unknown, that those clocks which were taken towards the equator lost time, whilst those taken- towards tha poles gained. Here there was a very striking fact. 'lle first solution was that the pendulum being lengthened by the high temperature of the equatorial regions caused the differ ence. 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 lati tudes. But the increase o' diminution in the length of the pendulum did not account for the difference, and thus this accidental circumstance proved to them the correctness of Newton's theory before they had time to solve it. The equa torial diameter is thus shown, by means of the pendulum, to be 34 or 36 miles longer than that of the pular, being about the 300th pail of the whole axis of rotation. Now a very curious fact 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 289th part, the real diminution is in fact'the 194th 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 a body placed at similar distances from its surface, equally, but if we come to have a solid oblate spheroid, this is no lunges :he case. Then we shall find that a body placed at the poles will be more powerfully attracted than a body placed at the equatorial regions, supposing that centrifugal force were entirely kept out of the question. Consequently there are two causes operating to produce the difference be tween the amount of gravity at the poles and at the equator, namely the greater rptundity of the earth at the equator than at the poles, and the increased centrifugal force. The trade winds go to prove the motion of the earth upon its own axis. There are found to be currents of air which at different seasons of the year take different directions from each side of the equator. Note 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, consequently the direct motion of the earth is imparted to this air, and it does not indicate 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 aeriform substances, and the air suffering expansion 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 space 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 in the equatorial regions, will therefore lag behind, and-it will not consequently flow fo the equator from north to south, and from south to north, but from north east to the soutb-east, and consequently we shall have at dif ferent seasons of the year currents froin the directions about the equator. Again the air from the higher equatorial re gions will, as it cools, contract 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 it is carried. The consequence of this is that we A CA-MnIDATE Folt THK.DKAMATIC AUTHORS' SOCIETY. —" Upon thy word," said Nicholas, taking the manager aside, "Idon't think I can be ready by Monday."

LUCKY RECOVERY.--A gentleman by the Manchester coach, last Friday afternoon, lost his gold watch, worth forty pounds, somewhere on the road between Asbopton and Snake Inn. Immediately on his arrival in Manchester, he had handbills printed, offering, a reward of two pounds to whoever would restore it. Two of his friends on their 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 enquiries, and traced it to one of Mr. Ward's men, who 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 pigs 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 o f it to t h e person in whose posses sion it was found, for two shillings. Altogether it had a lucky escape, first from being broken to pieces by the pig, then in its value not being discovered by the Irishman, and lastly, by the hoties.ty of the man.—Sheffield his.

Thus we find that the trade winds which are of so much importance to commerce are a great atmospherical phenomenon in combination with the diurnal rotation of the earth upon its axis. In conclusion, the lecturer apologised for his inability to illustrate this lecture, as his machinery had been delayed in its transit from London.

LEEDs.—From all that we can learn, we are inclined to believe that in some branches of business, Inure especially those relating to fancy articles, a considerable slackness has recently begun to prevail, and that there are not so many workmen engaged as of 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 brisk, and the sales were extensive; but on Saturday they were more limited, owing, as was generally supposed, to the want of a sufficiently various assortment. BRADPorto M A nKET.—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 done in yarns, 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 sale, but the price of Wools expe rienced a slight improvement. H ECKAIONovvIKE.—The Blanket Hall here during the last few market days has been but thinly- attended by the mer• chants; the demand for goods has consequently not been so great, and this, with the high price of wool, is injuring the manufacturers. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. Om 26.--4Ve 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 them; there is a reedy sale for the finer qualities of Combing, as well as all Short Wools, at full prices. YORK Woor. M ARKET, OCT. 25.—Our supply and demand of Wool to this day's market h:ts Bern tolerably good. A slight improvement in prices has been manifested, and most of the lots have been sold. BARNSLEY LINEN TRAM—The various branches of our manufactory are in full operation. The difficult' 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 hog, which maintains its price. k4I;f I OND EDITION . Standard Office, Three o Clock. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30. The imports of Grain from Ireland and coastwise continue light, and of Foreign produce the receipts are trifling, being `2,800 quarters of Wheat, 1,700 barrels of F10ur—(1,425 brl>•. of the latter was from Canada). Wheat has continued to command an extensive sale at advancing prices, and 89s. per quarter was given by Millers at Wa'4efield on Friday, and at Manchester on Saturday; a few samples of New Irish lied were sold at 10s. and Ws. 6d. There was a good demand for sack and barrel Flour—the former at 60s. to 635,, and latter 395. to 425. Oats were scarce, and were readily sold at 35.6 d. and 3s. 7d. Meal also was a free sale at 31s. to 325. Barley has lately been much inquired for, particularly Malting, at 5s to ss. 6d. Several parcels of Bonded Wheat changed hands during the week, at Bs. 6d. for Odessa, and 9s. 6d. for lied Baltic.—General average of Wheat, 645. 31 ;—duly, 225. 8.1. Two O'CLOCK. There was a moderate demand in our market this morn ing for Wheat and Flour, at the advance obtained on Friday, which was 3d. on the former and 2d. on the latter over Tues day's rates. Some Irish white Wheat was sold at Ils. and Flour at 635. to 645. Meal and Oats were in re quest: 335. was obtained for Meal, and 3s. Bd. for Oats.
