I Fren art to p LITERATURE ts, \lus BOOKS An Exarni STANDItD, Mr. C. M to the Editor i ation of a Sermon. " Ritual Worship," A Letter." bu the Rev. C. Dodgson, I with th By the R hing of Randall, 8.A., Leeds. London : flatchard. " Ritual Worship" is the title of a sermon re cently preached by the examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Ripon, at the consecration of St. Thomas's Church in Leeds. It was heard by not a few who, grieving at its errors, hoped it might be soon for gotten ; but to their deep regret, and that of many more, this hope has been dispelled by its publica tion—" at the request of a body of clergymen." As the Rev. Mr. Dodgson was not pleased to give the names of this "body," it was natural that those who disapproved of the doctrines taught by him should feel aggrieved, lest they should be supposed to be included. They therefore protested, on the ground that they " strongly disapproved of some of the doctrines contained in it." It was with the deepest sorrow that they beheld such fundamental errors taught in " Ritual Worship"—the more that Mr. Dodgson, by his office, is a public man, and one of much ability. We feel that this is not the proper medium for entering further upon this question : it has been fully and ably examined by the Rev. Mr. Randall, and in a spirit, too, which deserves our highest commendation. We recom mend the pamphlet to the notice of the public, and conclude with the closing words of Mr. Randall, called for on account of the arrogance of Mr. Dodgson, in refusing all explanations, if his lan guage had been misunderstood : " Notwithstanding this dignified height from which Mr. Dodgson is pleased to look down on all objectors, the writer ventures to conclude with the hope—nay, with the prayer, that the day may never came when the united Church of England and Ireland, when any of her Minis ters, however exalted his rank and station, shall he consi dered above the liability—not to say the possibility, of error ; nor when, as a fallible man, he shall be above the reach of fair trial,—of having his Doctrines publicly and unreservedly compared with the teaching of Holy Scripture and of the Church."

By E. Loop. Liver pool : M'Corquodale and Co. Some grains of wheat may be found in this bushel of chaff. For example : " Alexander Gun, of the Liverpool police force, having made an erroneous entry in the book, was dismissed the service—and the note read, ' A Gun discharged for mak ing a false report.'

" My dear fellow, how do 'you do ?' said one Irish gentleman to another, on taking his seat in a railway car riage opposite to him, and shaking him cordially by the hand, the feeling being heartily reciprocated.

" The True Policy for the Artisans : a Letter to the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli. By Iron Hand. London : C. Mitchell. A well-written pamphlet, the style of which may be characterised by the suaviter in mod°, on the social condition of the working classes and its ame lioration. The writer is " one of the craft," and one who has " witnessed and partaken of the efforts of many able men to relieve and elevate this class ;" one who has " listened to the followers of Mr. Owen, and inquired into the systems of foreign co operative philosophers ;" one who has " worked on such committees, and participated in such schemes;" and who tells us, what we might have predicated, that " there is something in human nature that always frustrates such a deliberated organisation." But there is a power unseen by him, or overlooked, far higher than " human nature," that has pre vented the success of such wild schemes. This, then, is the result of Iron Hand's experience : "We can only take things as they are," and " all we can do is, to make the best of them. " To accomplish this, he advocates the ballot, extension of education —direct and indirect, and reform in the Poor Laws. On the last topic he propounds the following system of PROVIDENT PROVISION FOR OLD AGE BETTER THAN TAXATION " The machinery of the Poor LAWS, indeed, holds out a means for a grand scheme of provident arrangement for the working classes, which might be moulded into one of the greatest social improvements. The principle of as surance might be used; and an additional rate made, by which, at a certain age. or under certain circumstances, the asylum might be available. Fourpence a week, paid from 21 years of age, secures an annuity of £lO a-year at 60. This principle, introduced on what might be called voluntary rating, would give a resource for age that would be honourable and comfortable. By some such means we might have Chelsea boqpitals instead of Union bastiles all over the country. What could be done for 400 individuals who bad thus secured a right to £lO a-year, with the modern improvements in building and arrange ments, may be easily known. £4,000 a-year spent in such a community would give to each the decencies and comforts of life in their declining years." Such a hint is worth keeping; and glad should we be if the working classes themselves would work it out, if Government will not aid directly.

Catherine Thomas, an old Irish wonian, was indicted for feloniously killing, at Prescot, Mary Ann Brennan, the itimate infant tue s It appeared in evidence that the child was put to nur Thomas's house on the 29th of March last ; and on the 12th of April its mother received information that it was in a dying state, and visited it, when she found it in a po tato basket, in the coal hole, a place only 5 feet square, and unventilated. It was in a very emaciated state, and shortly afterwards died. The jury found a verdict of guilty. His lordship, in sentencing the prisoner, said, `' You are a most cruel hard-hearted old woman, and were it not for your advanced age. I should certainly transport you. You have treated the child in the most barbarous manner, and caused its death by your treatment; you have aggravated the offence by producing perjured evi dence. The sentence on you is, that you be imprisoned one year, with hard labour." BURGLARY AT BICKERSTA.FFE. Robert Mordaunt, alias Morgan, was indicted for having, in company with two other persons, broken into the dwelling-house of Thomas Shacklady, and stolen 6s. 6d. in money, and sundry articles of property. The evidence as to the identity of the prisoner was considered insufficient, and he was acquitted by the direction of the learned Judge. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE Samuel Stores, Tames Welsh, and :Wary Derbin, were indicted for having beaten and robbed Thomas Cartwrieht of 13s. 6d., at Manchester, on the 13:11 of June last. The case was clearly proved, and the prisoners were salteaced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. ➢fALICIOUS ASSAULT Anthony Murat was indicted for an assault, with intent to do bodily harm, on Richard Cudland, at Wigan. It appeared that, on the 25th of May last, the prosecutor with his brother and a party of men were passing the pri soner's house, when one of them accidentally fell and broke a window. Murat immediately rushed out and attacked them with a poker. Subsequently, he stabbed the prosecutor several times with a shoemaker's knife. Evidence was adduced in favour of the prisoner, to the effect that before he used the knife he had been knocked down by Robert Calland, who, with another man, kicked him when down. Their conduct was shown to have been both violent and wanton before the knife was used.—The Judge thought that the justice of the case would be met by a verdict of unlawfully wounding, and charged the jury accordingly.—The jury returned their verdict in this shape.—Mr. Cobbett observed that the prisoner had been several times before the magistrates on similar charges. Sentence, three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. UTTERING BASE COIN Robert Brown - was found guilty of uttering base shil ling.satNewton-in-Mackerfield. On eyear's imprisonment. Anne Lynch, a little girl thirteen years of age, was indicted on a similar charge, there being a previous con viction against her. His lordship sentenced her to seven years' transportation, with a view to her being sent to some penitentiary, in order to her reclamation. FORGERY Thomas Tyrer was indicted for having, on the 23d April last; at Prescot, forged a written undertaking for the payment of money. On the day in question the pri soner called at a provision shop at Prescot, kept by a per son named Warburton. He wished to be supplied with goods, and represented that he was in the service of Mr. Walker, the forester, at Knowsley. Mr. Warburton told him that, provided he brought a written undertaking for payment from his master, he should be supplied, where upon the prisoner went away, and returned with a written order, to which was appended the name of the prosecutor. From time to time he obtained goods to the amount of upwards of £2, when it was discovered that the order was a forgery.—The prisoner, who was undefended, de nied having written the order.—The jury found him guilty.—Sentence, one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. The court rose at six o'clock. SATURDAY. Lord Chief Justice Campbell took his seat at nine o'clock. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Sarah Smith and Sarah Thompson, two young wo men, aged 25 years each, were convicted of an assault and robbery upon George Crossland, at Manchester, on the 10th June, and were sentenced to ten years' transportation. BURGLARY AT MANCHESTER.. George Taylor, 36, and Ellen Taylor, 35, his wife, Thomas. Green, 48, and George Metcalfe, 31, were in dicted for having, in May last, broken into the house of August Kissling, Manchester, and stolen sixteen pairs of boots, sixteen pairs of shoes, two coats, £7 in gold, and other aticles to the value of £24. George Taylor pleaded guilty, and the evidence traced some of the stolen pro perty to the possession of the other prisoners, who ren dered contradictory accounts concerning them. The jury returned a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners. Taylor, with considerable vehemence, assured the court that his wife was innocent. Previous convictions were gvnailegaheljaeicTiNilerrhiNgai'lhacncl Green. The transportation, they were now ordered co be transported for fifteen years, and the two Taylors for ten years each. On hearing the sentence, the woman burst into hysteric sobs, and screamed, " Oh, my poor child ! oh, my poor child !" UNFOUNDED CHARGE AGAINST A SOLICITOR At the conclusion of the case of burglary, Mr. Sowler produced an affidavit from Mr, Rigge, solicitor, Man. chester, rebutting an accusation made against him by Mr. Tindal Atkinson, of having received money from a prisoner and leaving him undefended. The court ex pressed itself perfectly satisfied. BIGAMY John Alexander Short, 32, labourer, was found guilty of having married Adelaide Heaton, his former wife, Fanny Shaw, being alive. As it appeared that the latter had been taken into custody for larceny the first day after she was married, and that on coming out of prison she told the prisoner that she had another husband living, the court only ordered him to be imprisoned one week. THE BURGLARY AT SPEKE. Daniel Small, 31, and Thomas Wood, 40, pleaded not guilty to having, at Speke, together with certain other persons, feloniously stolen thirty-three pounds in money, a watch, and a gun, the property of John M'Farlane ; a brooch, the property of Ellen M'Farlane ; a watch and seven shillings, the property of Thomas Edwards ; and a watch, the property of William Parker. Mr. Monk, Mr. 111'Leod, and Mr. Ovens prosecuted ; Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Blair defended the prisoners. From the evidence, it appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. John M'Farlane, re sides in the neighbourhood of Speke-hall, which is not far distant from Liverpool. He is agent for a gentleman named Watt, a large landed proprietor, whose rents he received. About nine o'clock on the night of the 26th of April a number of men broke into the house, and, col lecting the inmates, consisting of Mr. M'Farlane, his daughter, Miss Ellen M'Farlane, Mrs. Edwards, and a servant man and a boy, into one room, they stood over them with cocked pistols, threatening to resort to vio lence if they did not tell them where the money was. They had dragged Mr. M'Farlane out of bed ; and, be cause he refused to tell them where the money was, they threatened to put him to the fire, and were proceeding to carry their threat into execution when he told them where the keys were. They all wore crape or silk before their faces, with holes for their eyes and nose. One of the vagabonds seized Miss M'Farlane, and, holding a pistol towards her head, told her he would shoot her if she did not tell him where the money was concealed. She said they had no money ; but, perceiving that the fellow was resolute, she told him that it was in a drawer in her father's office. " Come with me, then, and show me," exclaimed the ruffian. " No, I dare not ; you will shoot me," she replied. He gave her an assurance that she should not be injured, and she proceeded with him to the office. There they saw another man, with a lighted candle. On opening the drawer she perceived the money was gone, and she said, " Why, you have got the mo ney." The other man, at the juncture, stooped, and the mask fell partly from his face, and she saw that it was Small, whom she had previously known as a man who had been accustomed to hawk goods about, he having frequently called at her father's house, where, in fact, he had formerly been in service. She also knew him by his voice, he having said, " If you stare at me in that way I will shoot you." After they had ransacked the house for spoil, one of the men went up to Miss 141`Farlane, and in sisted on her finding him £5. declaring that, if she did not, he would shoot her. The servant-boy jumped up and exclaimed, " Don't shoot Miss Ellen, and I will give you my watch," which he did. It appeared that the despoilers then became hungry and thirsty, and one of them, addressing Miss Ellen, said, " Miss Mac, have you any refreshment ?" She produced some wine, upon which they all commenced an immediate attack, except one, who was doubtless a teetotaller, for he asked for buttermilk, which was supplied to him. After the villains had remained in the house upwards of an hour they departed, taking with them the articles mentioned in the charge. Both prisoners were identified by Mr. and Miss M'Farlane and other witnesses, who had seen their faces at times when the masks were partially displaced. For the defence it was argued that on the night in question Mr. and Miss M'Farlane would be so over whelmed with terror that they could not possibly be in a sufficiently calm state of mind to enable them to recognise any of the prisoners. Several witnesses were then called to prove that at the time in question the prisoners were in bed at their lodgings. His lordship summed up, in the course of his observations taking the opportunity to compliment Miss M'Farlane for the very satisfactory manner in which she had given her evidence. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of not guilty against both prisoners. NISI PRIUS COURT.-THURSDAY. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN took his seat on the bench at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock. After the old woman, a monomaniac, who imagines that she has a large estate coming to her by birthright, and who, for a lengthened period of years, has followed the judges on the northern circuit, under the delusion of inducing them to obtain for her " law and justice," had harangued the court at considerable length, the trials of causes were proceeded with. SLANDER. - ORRELL V. ORRELL. In this case, which was an action of one brother against another, the case was ultimately decided by the with drawal trf a juror. THORNE AND OTHERS V. WALTON. This was an action for goods delivered to the amount of £35, of which £l3 7s. was due. A verdict was given in accordance. ACTION ON A BILL OF EXCHANGE.---MACANT .V. MALLALEW. In this case the plaintiff, a bleacher at Bolton, brouglt an.actio on a biller x3OO, drawn.by William Sharman and accepted by defendant. It was urged by Sergeant Wilkins, 'for the defence, that Sherman had absconded, and that the bill having been dishonoured in February, and no action brought until June, it was most probable that the acceptance was a forgery. A verdict was given for the plaintiff, with interest CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION OR INJURY DONE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY CONIPAN Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Wheeler appeared for plaintiff, Miller, who sued as a pauper ; Mr. Serjc Wilkins, Mr. Tomlinson, and Mr. Marshall for the del dants.

Under those two contracts the :o do t tiff proceeded to work, and completed—with respect t the contract for the mill, work to the amount of £ISC and, with respect to the contract for the house work, t the amount of £2o—when he was stopped by the plain tiff ; and it was for the balance of those two sums the the action was brought. The amount of contract for th mill was £2,390; and, in addition to the balance due, da mages to the amount of the profit likely to be realise from the performance of the contract, estimated at be tween £4OO and £5OO, were sought to be recovered. The work done was estimated by Mr. Pilling, the defendant's architect, at £l3O. The amount actually paid by the plaintiff, on account of the contracts, was £126 17s. 9jld. ; of this, £llO 4s had been paid in cash, and the balance was for timber furnished. Witnesses were called to prove the facts of the case. For the defence it was contended that the contract was drawn up by Pilling, who was a friend of the plaintiff, and that defendant had never read it. The stoppage of the works was entirely the act of the plaintiff. A verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages .t'32l, over and above the money, £lO6, paid into court. CASSON AND OTHERS V. EVANS.

The defen dant bad paid £4O into court, which, he alleged, was the amount due to the plaintiff. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. damages, £34 165., and costs. At six o'clock, the court adjourned until nine o'clock on Saturday morning. SATURDAY. Mr. Justice Wightman!ook his seat on the bench at a few minutes past nine o'clock. TETLOW V. HOLDEN.--A FOOT-RACING SQUABBLE This action was brought to recover the stakes of £lOO aside on a foot-race run at Aintree, in September last, between the plaintiff and a man named Hayes, which had been placed in the hands of defendant as stakeholder. Plaintiff complained that he had been knocked down during the race and thus lost, yet Holden had paid over the money to his opponent. It transpired, in evidence, that the money deposited was not paid by Tetlow ; and that therefore the action could not be sustained. Verdict of noncnit ornq pntered_ GARTSIDE V. BRADBURY This was an action by plaintiff, a farmer in Saddleworth, to recover from defendant, who holds an adjoining farm, damages alleged to arise from a diversion of a stream which flowed through the lands of both. It was con tended that by working a quarry, and cutting drains in the stream. plaintiff had caused the water to be so foul that defendant's cows would not drink it. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the action was vin dictive, and that the diversion complained of arse from natural causes. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. JOHNSON V TAYLOR This was an action brought by plaintiff against his mother-in-law for a balance of account of £ll4, arising out of !some loan transactions and a sale by her of the Albion Inn, Rochdale, which had been conveyed to her as security, and with a view to giving her a preference over plaintiff's other creditors. The details were rather corn plicated, and are totally uninteresting. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £9O and costs. ROSSALL V. BROWN The plaintiff in this case, which was undefended, is a tanner, carrying on business in Regent's-road, Salford. The defendant was for,Anan to a flour-dealer in Man chester, named James Moore. On Saturday, the 21st of February, the plaintiff was on his way home, when he was met by the defendant, who said he was come for payment of the account. The plaintiff stated there was a mistake in the account; the defendant said it was false, and, if he did not pay the money, he would give him a good "hiding." The plaintiff moved away, defendant followed, calling him scamp, &c. As the plaintiff passed through his own gate the defendant seized him by the hand and broke one of his fingers. He subsequently knocked him down, and kicked him violently. He now sought to recover damages from the defendant for the injuries he had received. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £2O. The court then adjourned until Monday morning, at nine o'clock. THE VENTILATION OF THE COURT.—During the trial of the above case, Mr. Justice Wightman complained in very strong terms of the ventilation of the court. He said there were drafts of cold air, followed by drafts of warm air, which were intolerable. There was then a draft of cold air on his feet, which was the most detestable thing he ever experienced. Some time after Dr. Reid came into nirt, and a member of the bar having informed the bench that he was present, his lordship retired to his private room, where he had an interview with the doctor. His lordship, when he returned into court, asked the members of the bar what effect they felt when there was a change from hot to cold air. Several members of the bar an swered that the change was very sensibly felt.—His lord ship : Which way ?—Mr. Bliss, Q C: Ton cold.—His lordship : What I have been mentioning to Dr. Reid is that the effect on the feet is too severe. It is very objec tionable to my mind to have that draft of cold air so much on the feet; if the cold air were introduced from some point above it would be better.—Mr. Sergeant Mathews said that on the previous morning he sat at the other end of the inner bar (on the right hand side of the court), and the current was so strong that he was obliged to leave his seat. He rather thought the temperature of the air was a plea sant one, about 65 degrees, but it came in such a stream that gave it a cold effect.—Mr. Sergeant 'Wilkins : Surely the air ought to be mixed below.—Mr. Bliss : There is a dreadful current here. The subject was then allowed to drop. THE CAUSE LIST.—The number of causes on the list for trial, at the present assizes, is unusually small. In the list for the Salford hundred only 21 causes were entered for trial, and four of these are special jury cases. In the second list there were fifty-five causes entered, two of which have since been withdrawn, leaving fifty-three for trial, eight of which are special jury cases. CHESHIRE AND WALES. MR.

Appleby ' Cathcart, the brothers Marshall, Baker, and Miss 11Iarshall, not to mention Boleno, whose " house" was indeed an exception to the thin at tendances on other nights. And were it not that custom has established a sort of immunity from criticism on such occasions, we should ha disposed to say a few words upon the performances. We are bound, however, to acknow ledge our surprise, when we learned that for Mr. Appleby's benefit the last pantomime was revived under a different name. True, the best, nay the only good part of it had been withdrawn, and another libretto substituted ; never theless, the pantomime was in other respects the same. We know that on this occasion several were led to visit the theatre, not on account of the be'ne:ficiare, but to see a different pantomime, and they were disappointed. We do not charge this to the management, but to Mr. Appleby ; and we have withheld our remarks for the sake of those who were subsequently to ask the favour of the public. There was one redeeming quality, and it was this—he did not disgrace the theatre by introducing a pig, and singing a parody with it upon his knee, as upon a re cent occasion ! If he has learned to be less vulgar, the lesson is a good one. Another of this series of perform ances forces from us a few observations; and it is " King John." This is a gorzeous tragedy, though it may not be a very good acting play ; and it was outwardly pre sented—but where was the soul of the drama ? Where was Constance ? where was John ? Both characters, to be sure, were upon the stage. but both might better have been away, though this would have been something like playing " Hamlet" without the Prince of Denmark ! Mr. Cathcart's King John was a fearful rant, and his daughter's Constance a mere shadow of the queen, with out a just appreciation in any particular. We have striven to bear with Miss Fanny Cathcart, but truth must be spoken, and she is incompetent for such characters. She has very naturally much of her father's style, and therein lies the chiefest fault, for his is far from being refined or subdued ; and she seeks too much the plaudits of the gal lery. Mr. Clarke's Cardinal legate, Pandulph, was a " sorry sight ;" but the Philip of France of Mr. Lunt was a well-played part. Against all this there was some thing pleasing—it was the Arthur, very prettily played by Mr. Terry's youthful daughter, who certainly distin guished herself. Melpomene has in her an apt disciple ; but her talents must be nurtured, not overtasked. Last night two stars shone again upon the boards, after a lapse of nearly twelve months—we mean Madame Celeste and Mr. Benjamin Webster. The peculiar style of the former needs no comment ; the genial comedy of the latter is well known. The opening performance was that much-ad mired melodrama, " Green Bushes," in which Madame Celeste has a wide reputation ; and justly so, for she is supremely excellent as Miami. It will be remembered that this was the character she last assumed previous to her departure for America. MISS GLYN reads, at the Concert Hall, " Romeo and Juliet," and " Macbeth," on the evenings of Friday and Saturday, this week. GUILD OF LITERATURE AND ART.—The programme of the dramatic performances of the distinguishod amateurs, under the direction of Mr. Dickens, is now out. The ar rangements have been most judiciously placed under the f6a "die iltioNSbriUttiVaAlL d NU I Pil2P l 9 u l2. t the call as they did before. MADLLE. WAGNER, who has returned to Germany, is making a tour of the provincial theatres. She made her debut at Breslau the other night, and was received with great enthusiasm by the public, and afterwards serenaded at her hotel. HORTICULTURE. OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. Stove, Conservatory, ke.—The cold winds and heavy rains, which are unseasonably early this year, render it necessary to get the houses in order, and to return those plants to their places which have been turned out during the summer months ; before doing this it is absolutely necessary to use paint and whitewash inside, which will aid most effectually in destroying the myriads of insect enemies which seek shelter in the crevices of the walls and wood-work. Ample ventilation must be given, especially where it is evident that the plants have not thoroughly ripened their wood. Flower Garden.—ln this department the high winds and rapidly departing flowers will keep the gardener tho roughly employed in tying up the tall growing plants, and removing the dead flowering stems of herbaceous plants. Choice Auriculas and Polyanthuses should be parted and re - potted. Best kind of Woodfor Blocks or Basketsfor Orchids. — It has been proved, from many years' experience, that blocks or baskets made of the roots of Elder (Sambucus nigra), answer exceedingly well for the growth of Orchids. The roots should be dried, the bark being taken off, to prevent the lodging of insects, and cut to the requisite lengths. Their rough knobby surface is well adapted for Orchid cultivation. Although it may be difficult to ob tain Elder roots sufficiently large, it is, however, ad visable to use them if possible, because they are of all soft woods the most durable, whilst, at the same time, their porosity retains the necessary humidity. The Cattleya Mossiae, Dendrobium aggregatum and Jenkinsii, grown on blocks made of Elder roots, very soon covered them with their spongioles, and vegetated with great vigour throughout the winter.

WE observe, says the Morning Post, that some of the beaten Whigs and Radicals, and their friends the " Li beral "journals of London, are trying to get up a small howl about " intimidation " at the late elections. We trust that they will not let this matter drop. By all means let us have a select committee, when Parliament meets, to inquire into " intimidation at elections." We can promise the " Liberal party " a second edition of the St. Alban's inquiry. Here is a single specimen of what has been going on in scores of places. Sir John M'Taggart, most of our readers will remember, is a " Liberal "—a very liberal member of the House of Commons. The following letter was lately addressed to a Glasgow newspaper : " Sir, ---During the canvass for the Wigtown District of Burghs, Sir John M'Taggart, who was staying at my hotel, sent for me to my dining-room—he said to me— " Now, James Byers, I hear you are going to vote for Mr. Caird.' " I said I had not quite made up my mind, " Sir John M`Taggart then said, knocking his fist on the table— " If you don't pledge yourself this day to vote for me, I will not only leave your house myself, but I will make every tenant under me leave it also—so help me God.' "I refused to pledge myself ; upon which he added— r V • • • " I will put it into my leases that not a tenant of mine can come to your house.' He confirmed this also with an oath. _ _ _ _ _ _ "He then left the house. He again returned for a short time, after which he finally left. " I voted for Mr. Caird—disbelieving that any man would venture to execute such threats, or that any ten antry would be so servile as Sir John M'Taggart said. " Within a week after the election his tenants left m house. " The annual dinner of the agricultural society was held in my house yesterday ; and, even on this public occasion, contrary to all previous practice, not a tenant of Sir John 3PTaggart's, and only two of his patron, Lord Stairs', ventured to be present. Had the history of this business been fully known, I am fully persuaded there are men on both estates, of sufficient independence to have spurned such an attempt to coerce me and degrade them. " Public opinion wilt determine whether Sir John 31`Taggart is what he professes to be, ' a consistent Liberal.'—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " George Hotel, Stranraer, 1852." " JAMES BYERS. AN UNFORTUNATE Ex-M.P.—The general Irish public and, we trust, numerous personal friends of Mr. Hewitt Brid g m an , f o r many years the Liberal representative for the borough of Ennis, will learn with regret that that gentlemanlies paralysed and dangerously ill in King's g Hospital, London. It is to be lamented that one who has f a ithf u ll y serve d hi s coun t r y should he so reduced in circumstanc e s as to require the aid of an institution founded for the relief of a different class of the community. The wants of the unfortunate gentleman, who is closing his 80th year, are at present administered to by a few friends who but faintly knew him in his prosperity. It is to be hoped that some steps may be taken :by his friends to render his declining hours, and they cannot be many, a 9 comfortable as possible.—Times. CROWN COURT, qhtfulness of the minutes past ten o'cloc' and th Brotherton gious LL took his seat on the bench at a few following gentlemen were then sworn on the grand jury :—Wm. Brawn, Esq., M.P., foreman ; Sir Elkanah Armitage, Knight ; Joseph ; Thomas Thornely, M.P. ; Charles llagazine, I Turner, NI.P ; William Eccles, M.P. ; John Bentley, Thomas Baziev, Richard Birlev, Thomas Brocklebank, Ralph Greenhough, Robert Gardner, John Hargreaves, Francis Heywood, T. E. Moss, R. N. Phillips, Richard Shell, J. P. Tempest, R. V. Yates, Wm. Rathbone, and Peter Ainsworth, Esqrs Le usual proclamation against vice and immorality having been read, His LORDSHIP proceeded to deliver his charge to the grand jury. He regretted that, in Liverpool, a number of gentlemen summoned on the grand inquest had not answered to their names. This had not occurred in any other place on the circuit, and it would have been his duty to have forced their attendance by imposing fines, but he had abstained in the hope that such a thing would not occur again. His lordship proceeded to remark upon the calendar, which, he said, appalled him, containing as it did the names of 121 prisoners, many of them charged with very grievous offences. He was one of thos3 who thought that manufactures and commerce had the effect of humanising and refining, instead of degrading and leading to the commission of crime. Amongst the most prevalent offences in this county he found those of rob bery, burglary, and stabbing; and it gave him pain to find that the use of the stiletto and knife, which was an un.English practice, was on the increase. The crime of perjury, too, was increasing, apparently owing to a late act of the legislature which allowed parties to be witnesses for themselves. That act led to the just discovery of , truth, and the dealing out of justice between litigant parties ; but unfortunately there was no unmixed good in this world, and it held out a temptation to falsehood, which must be repressed. He found it stated in a report laid before him by the Chaplain of the House of Correc tion at Preston, to whom he paid a high compliment, that crimes of violence against the person had decreased in this county, whilst those against property had in creased. This, he said, surprised him, inasmuch as there was now a demand for labour, both manufacturing and agricultural, sufficient to secure employment for every industrious man. It was too much to hope that in this world crime could ever be exterminated. He believed, however, that it could be decreased by giving to the people a sound religious education. Another means was the repression of the crime of drunkenness, which was the origin of at least three-fourths of the crime which came before him. He had had reason to know, from holding the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, that the magistrates of this county were exemplary in the discharge of their duties ; and he believed that in the town of Liverpool there was an example set to all the corpora tions of the kingdom. This was now not only the second city of the empire, but almost rivalling the metropolis. In the last year its customs receipts were only less by £5,000 than those of London ; and although it might never become the metropolis, it has become, and will continue to be, the rival of the great metropolis of the British empire ; and he believed f,r its institutions for education and for charity that it sets an example to the whole world. His lordship proceeded as follows : Gentlemen, before concluding this address to you, I think I am bound publicly to express the sense I entertain of the becoming conduct of the High Sheriff of the county in his reception of the Judges. You are aware that he is the worthy representative of an ancient and distinguished family, the Blundells of Ince Blundell, and that, adheeing to the faith of his ancestors, he is a strict and sincere Roman Catholic. But reflecting credit on the religious persuasion to which he belongs, he has cautiously ab stained from doing anything that can be considered con trary to the law of the land, or offensive to the feelings of Protestants. Instead of obtruding on the judges as chaplain a Roman Catholic priest, in the costume of the Romish Church, proposing that this priest should appear in the same carriage with the judges when they go in procession, attended byjavelin-men and trumpeters to open the Queen's commission, and that he should sit by them in court, as chaplain, whilst they administered justice during the assizes, your High Sheriff, enjoying the full benefit for himself and his family of the ministrations of the spiritual instructor whom he in his conscience prefers, has made arrangements whereby, both at Lancaster and Liverpool, the Judges have been enabled, according to established usage, to join in the public worship of God, according to the rites of the Protestant religion, before the commencement of judicial business, and have had the benefit of a Protestant clergyman officiating for them as chaplain. Happily the High Sheriff can perform all that belongs to the duty of his office without any interference with religious scruples. We do not expect or wish the anything which can incur censure from the guides of his conscience. On the other hand, it is not unreasonable to require that in our presence the law of the land shall not be violated, and that due respectshould beshown to our feelings as Protestants. From the benevolent and enlightened tone of recent legislation all religious disabilities are now done away with, and civil offices (with very few exceptions) are equally open to persons of all religious denominations. It would, indeed, be a cruel injustice that Roman Catholics, whilst they agree to submit to the supremacy of the state in all temporal matters, were excluded from the full en joyment of religious liberty. But for their own sakes, and for others, they do well when they avoid anything which may reasonably excite the suspicion that they mean to act aggressively, or that they have formed a plan for reviving the ascendancy of their religion in this country. It may be hoped, after the wise example set by my es teemed friend, Mr. Blundell, the attempt to fasten a Roman Catholic clergyman on Protestant judges will not be attempted again. To show the delusion on which this pretension rests, it is enough to point out the consequences to which it necessarily leads. Jews and Quakers may fill, and have filled, the office of high-sheriff in Engjand ; and if the high-sheriff is entitled to put into the carriage, along with the judges, the religious adviser he selects for his own edification, they may find themselves riding through the streets of a provincial capital " the observed of all observers," with a Jewish high priest sitting by them, or a male or female follower of the founder of the sect of friends, who admit the softer sex to have the pri vilege of publicly praying and preaching. But such a violation of propriety was not attempted by the late Jew ish sheriffs of Buckinghamshire or Surrey, or by the late Quaker sheriff of Cumberland, although there is no sta tute forbidding the use of rabbinical vestments, or broad brimmed hats and russet garments in public processions. Gentlemen, I trust there is nothing improper in expressing, on this occasion, an earnest wish that all her Majesty's subjects, of all religious persuasions, should live together in peace and happiness, respecting the rights and feelings of one another, and that they would abstain from thinking that they are persecuted or aggrieved, if they fail in any ill-advised endeavour to ettack rivals, and to obtain un due superiority for themselves. I have read, gentlemen, the depositions, and it does not appear to me there are any cases likely to present a difficulty to come before you. If there be any, I shall be extremely ready to render you my best assistance, if you favour me with any doubts that may arise. At the conclusion of his lordship's charge, Mr. Rath bone and Mr. Ainsworth came into the grand jury box, and were sworn. Mr. J. A. Tinne attended shortly after, but was not sworn. ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO ROB. William Mitchell and William Jackson, who were convicted of an assault. with intent to rob, at the last as sizes, were put up for judgment, and sentenced each to 10 years' transportation. ROBBERY WITH VIOLEXCE Thomas Burke was found guilty of having. at Manches ter, violently stolen from the person of John Corbett, a collector of a burial society, the sum of 10s., on the 20th of January last. Sentence, 18 months' imprisonment. SACRILEGE. John Crook pleaded guilty to having, at Harpurhey, sacrilegiously broken and entered Christ Church, and having stolen therefrom four lamps, one inkstand, three books, and 201bs. weight of lead. Sentenced to three months' imprisonment. ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO ROB. Thomas Kelly was found guilty of having assaulted and beaten, in company with another person unknown, on the night of the 11th of April. Wm. Smith. a moulder, near St. Andrew's Church, Manchester. The prisoner was recommended to mercy on account of his previous good character. His lordship sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. ARSON. Thomas Donoghue was indicted for having, on the 31st of March last, at Bold, feloniously set fire to a stack of wheat. the property of Henry Baker, a farmer. On the 31st March last, whilst Mr. Baker was absent in Liver pool, attending the assizes, prosecuting a man named Kenwright, who was charged with setting fire to a rick of hay, also the property of Mr. Baker, one of his stacks of wheat was set fire to and destroyed, and suspicion attached to the prisoner. The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner not guilty. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. John Connor, Jonathan Wood, and Mary Ann Riley, were indicted for having, at Manchester, violently beaten and assaulted Edward Wright. and robbed him of a watch, value £6, on the 13th of April last, when returning from Knot-mill fair. The prisoners were all found guilty. Connor and Riley, who it appeared were man and wife, were each sentenced to ten years transportation ; and Wood to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. BURGLARY. Henry Haque was found guilty of having, on the 24th of April, broken into the house of Robert Halsall, in Manchester, and stolen a quantity of wine and brandy. Ten years' transportation. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. John 211 1 Andrew was found guilty of having, at Man chester, on the 21st of May, feloniously beaten John Lloyd, and robbed him of 9s. 9d. A previous conviction having been proved, he was sentenced to ten years' transportation. FORGERY AND FRAUD. James Aspinall was found guilty of having at Bol ton, on the sixth of May last, procured a coat from William Saunders, a tailor, by forging an order purport ing to be from Mr. Joseph Holden, painter, who had for merly been his employer. There was another indictment for a similar offence. Sentence, 12 months"' imprison ment and hard labour. The court was then adjourned to nine o'clock onTriday morning. During the day repeated complaints were made by his lordship that he was,umable to hear the remarks of witnesses asid counsel. The corepluiets of the bar were equally numerous that his lordship and the witnesses were inaudible, although the voices of all parties were pitched to their highest key. FRIDAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE James Roughley, Charles Mack, Martin Heffern, and Hannah Moore, were charged with having robbed John Mitchell, at Manchester, on the 14th of May last. It ap peared that prosecutor, a hawker, residing at Broadbot tom, had been inveigled by Heffern into a beer-house, near the Sheffield and Manchester Railway station, where the offence was committed by the prisoners. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. Previous convictions were proved against Mack and Moore. Roughley was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour ; the other three prisoners were transported for 15 years. Wednesday, PRENTON MATRICIDE. - At Chester assizes, William Thomas, 23, was placed at the 1) , a ,„1 before Mr. Justice Crompton , charged with the will:, murder of his mother, Elizabeth Thomas, of Prenton, not Birkenhead, on the 31st ult.
