It is said that a Polish legion is being forthed in France, but that it has not any direct sanction from the government, but they will not oppose it. The Presse says, " that a Polish legion is forming there for operations, as is supposed, in Asia. The Porte is also organising a corps of Turkish Cossacks." Nothing positive has transpired respecting the motive for sending for M. Walewski to Fontain bleau. All that is said in the ministerial circles is that the emperor wished to entrust to his ambas sador certain documents of a private nature re specting the eastern question, which may render it necessary to call for explanations from Austria. It would appear, therefore, that the emperor is not quite satisfied with the last assurances of the Aus trian ambassador, that although his government has resolved upon a policy of neutrality, it shall be a neutrality which will nowherp favour, directly or indirectly, the interests of Russia. ITALY. A letter from Naples, of the 19th, mentions the return to that city from Rome of M. de Maupas. The unpleasant incident which occurred has not produced any other result than the temporary absence of the French Ambassador. OPENING OF THE SPANISH CORTES. The Spanish Cortes were opened on the 19th by commission. The Senate adjourned, but the Congress proceeded to the election of its president and other officers. 190 deputies voted at the elec tion of president.

PORTUGAL.—The London Gazette contains an order for the Court going into mourning on Sun day, the 27th inst., for the Queen of Portugal. The late queen leaves seven children—Don Pedro, the Prince 'Royal ; Don Louis Philip, Duke of Porto ; Don John, Duke of Beja ; Don Fernando ; Don Augusto, and two daughters, the Princess Royal, Donna Maria Anna, and the Infanta, Donna Antonia. The Prince Royal, who completed his sixteenth year on the 16th September, is now king, under the title of Don Pedro V. His father will exercise the regency in his name, until he com pletes his eighteenth year. IRELAND. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] DUBLIN, FRIDAY, THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The Daily Ex press of to-day announces that no hopes are enter tained of the recovery of Mrs. Blacker, who has been suffering from the effects of the accident at Straffan. Three actions against the company will be tried in the Court of Queen's Bench during next month. _ _ THE DUBLIN HOSPITALS.—A deputation waited on the lord-lieutenant yesterday to protest against the government grants to those institu tions, and requesting his excellency to use his in fluence in securing the donations in their integrity. His Excellency received the deputation emir , teously, - but regretted that he could not comply with their request. THE QUEEN AND THE IRISH EXHIBITION. — Her majesty t h e Queen has commissioned Mr. M. Angelo Hayes to paint a picture of the exterior of the Dublin Industrial Exhibition building, as it appeared on the morning of her majesty's visit, with the attendant guard of honor, royal carriages, &c. On Wednesday, the Northern Whig reports a meeting held in - Donaghadee, for the purpose of considering the advisability of extending the present line of the county Down railway from the terminus at NewtownardS to Donaghadee, and also a project for establishing a line of steamers from the latter port to Portpatrick. With respect to the first matter before the meeting—that of the extension of the railway—it will meet with general approval, but the fact of the project which contem plates the making Donaghadee the point of com munication with Scotland, will be opposed by all the power Belfast can wield. We find froin the northern Irish journals, that the communication between London and Belfast by magnetic telegraph, will be completed in about a fortnight, when there will be completed one con tinuous line of wires stretching from Cork in the extreme, south of Ireland, through Belfast in the north, across the channel dividing the two islands, to the south-west coast of Scotland, . and thence through the manufacturing towns and districts of England, to London. In connexion with this an nouncement, we notice that the Electric Telegraph Company has been again unsuccessful in the lay ing down of their wires from the Irish to the Scot tish coast. On Tuesday, says the Northern Whig, the cable of the company was• " paid out" from a steamer which took its departure from Millisle for the . Scotch coast, but the vessel had not pro ceeded more than four miles seaward, when lo ! the cable again gave way to the great consternation of all on board. The vessel returned to the shore, and no other attempt has since been made to lay down the cable. _ . A BRAVE WOMAN !—I mentioned the other day that a threatening'notice had been served on David Ross, Esq., of 131adensburgh, in the north. That gentleman, it appears was from home when the notice came through the post-office into the hands of his wife, the Hon. Mrs. Ross, With a spirit worthy of a heroine, the lady, on receipt, im mediately .caused the following counter proclama tion to be posted up : "In the absence of my husband, I copy and post up, to the disgrace of this parish, a letter which I received and opened, that the respectable people of this village may know who they have among them, and purify themselves from men who dare not sign their own name or meet publicly in the face of day. J. say moreover, that should my husband's health make it necessary for him to change climate this winter that i will remain here to fill his place, in order that . a cowardly cabal, who dare not say to any honest man " be of us," should not continue to disgrace this parish by such discreditable productions as the letter I now subjoin. " earrigbawn, November 13, 1853." Thelollowing is the threatening notice referred to :-- "My friend Mr. Ross i write to inform you that I will . pay you a visit some of these nights you may be prepared to meet us for it is not your Police that will save your life this Winter you may also inform Mr. Pollard of the affair from your friend. MoLLY 'MAGUIRE. " Newry." CLONMEL ELECTION.—Mr. Bianconi, jun., has withdrawn from the contest, and Mr. O'Connell now remains the sole candidate. THE SHIP PREVALAV." The health of the passengers and crew on board this vessel continues good. It is expected that the necessary repairs and puttiligs to right" will be completed in the course of today, (Friday) and that the Prevalav will then clear out. PROTRACTED VOYAGE.— On Tuesday, the emigrant ship Persevenance, from Dublin for Quebec, arrived in Queenstown, having been 71 days out, She has 150 passengers on board, all in good health. Fortunately for them, they were enabled to reach this port with two days' provisions to spare, Yesterday a bulloclt . rendered wild by somo excitement, ran through Wine-tavern-street, in a furious state, and in his career knocked down an old man named Armstrong, and a woman named Williams. The animal was 'followed by a crowd on which be turned several times, but was at length ham-strung by a thrust of a pitch-fork, and then killed with the knife. A disastrous fire occurred in Victoria Street, Belfast, on Tuesday, by which one house was com pletely burn,ed down and another very much damaged. Premises awl. property,,were insured. The second division of the pstates of Mr. John Knox, of Castlerea, Mayo, comprising 2Q,123 acres, statute measure, including mountain, bog, and lithe, and producing a rental of lls 6d, were sold yesterday in_the Encumbered Estates Court, and produced 73,4851., equal to 49 years' purchase on the rental. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. LONDON LAW COURTS. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCE; YESTERDAY. FRANKS V. WLLLMRB. AND SMITH. In this case,. in which a rule nisi was obtained by Sir Frederick Thesiger, to file a criminal information against hicssrs. Willmer and Smith, the proprietors of the Liverpool Chronicle, for a libel which appeared in that paper, reflecting on the character of a lady of the name of Franks. A learned gentleman (whose name we could not learn) stated this morning that in this case he did not appear on the part of the defendants to justify the libel, but to express the great regret of the defendants that such a libel should have appeared in their paper. They stated that they took no part in editing the paper, which they left to a gentleman whom they considered qualified to judge of the matter to be inserted in the paper. They deeply regretted that such a paragraph as that complained of should have appeared, and the pain which it must have occasioned to the lady and her friends. Sir F. THESIGER said he could not allow this matter to pass without making an observation or two. It was impossible to conceive the mischief which had or might arise fi.om the publication of the foul slander vchich was cast on Mrs. Franks. No public journalist should allow slander to het into the columns of his journal, and the slander of which this lady complained was a most foul one. It was impossi ble to describe the pain which had hereby been occasioned to the lady and her friends. For the circulation of such slander was calculated to make an impression which could not be removed notwithstanding the most ample apology. But as the keeping of the slander alive by instituting ulterior proceedings would not be a judicious course, he would, under the circumstances, yield to the desire of the parties on that occasion, and accept the apology which had been made. He ( would however insist on the payment of the costs, although I e was not instructed to do so. Lord CAMPBELL thought Sir Frederick Thesiger, on the part of the injured party, had acted most handsomely to the defendants. No public journalist had any right to circulate private slander ; and it was to the credit of the journalists of this country that they were extremely cautious in doing so. In this case the prosecutors would have been justified in fol lowing A gayer.) ootins. ' but as the milder course had been adopted, all the court had to do was to discharge the rule. Rule discharged accordingly. (BEFORE THE LORDS' JUSTICES.) BRYSON V. THE WARWICK AND BIRMINGHAM CANAL NAVIGATION COMPANY AND OTHERS. This suit rose out of an agreement entered into on the 21st of October, 1845, between a provisionally registered company, called the London and Birmingham Extension, Northampton, Daventry, Leamington, and Warwick Rail way Company, and the Warwick and Birmingham Canal Navigation Company, and the Warwick and Napton Canal Company, for the purchase of the shares of the two canal companies. The agreement contained a stipulation that the thereunder signing members of the provisional com mittee of the railway company should pay down, or procure to be paid down, on the day of the date of the agreement, £lO,OOO to be held upon trust, until the railway act should be obtained, in taking transfers of the bonds or mortgages, or in discharging the debts of the canal companies : that in case £50,000, the entire purchase money, should not be paid before the Ist January, 1846, the agreement should be void, and the sum of £25,000 should be forfeited to the canal companies, or the deficiency made good by the there under signed memebrs of the committee. That the terms of the agreement, including the payment of the £50,000, should be executed by the thereunder signed mem bers of the provisional committee, and such mem bers should provide such sum out of their own moneys, or procure the same to be paid, so that the canal companies should not be affected by any special trusts or liabilites which might attach to the paid-up capital of the railway company. The agreement was executed on be half of the railway company by six of the provisional com mittee-men, and on the part of the canal companies by Colonel Russel, one of two trustees appointed at general meetings of the canal companies to receive the deposit for them. On the same day, and iu conformity with the stipu lations contained in the agreement, a cheque for £lO,OOO, signed by three of the directors of the railway company, was carried to the credit of the trustees of the canal companies at the Leamington and Warwick Bank. In December, 1845, the railway company, having •been advised that the agreement might interfere with their obtaining their act, gave notice to the canal companies not to part with the £lO,OOO without the sanction of the railway company. The agreement was not car ried out, and the railway company having become an abortive speculation, was brought in May, 1845, under the provisions of the Joint-Stock Companies' Winding-up Act. The plaintiff in the present suit being one of the contri butors, filed a bill, under the direction of the master, on behalf of himself and the other shareholdefs of the railway company, to recover the £lO,OOO from the canal companies, and the Vice-Chancellor Stuart, in June last made a decree in favour of the plaintiff. The defendants now appealed to the Lords Justices. Mr. MalMs and Mr. De Gex for the plaintiff, Mr. Bry son; and Mr. Daniel and Mr. Selwyn for the official manager, Mr. Croysclill, supported the decision of the Vice- Chancellor. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Glasse, Mr. Baggallay, and Mr. Cadman Jones were for the appellants. Mr. Malins replied. Their lordships reserved their judgment. MANCHESTER JUVENILE REFUGE AND SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY.-ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the friends and supporters of the Manchester Juvenile Refuge and School of Industry was held on Thursday night, in the B. Committee Room, Town Hall, King-street. Amongst the gentlemen present were, Alderman Sir John Potter, Absalom Watkin, Esq., J.P., the Rw. J. G. Vance, the Rev. Dr. Beard, John Taylor, Esq., W. R. Callender, Esq., Joseph Adshead, Esq., C. E. Cawley, Esq., H. R. Forrest, Esq., Mr. Thomas Wright, Samuel Eveleigh, Esq., Professor Calvert, Mr. Joseph Con sterdine, &c. The chair was occupied by Sir John Potter, who opened the proceedings of the meeting in an appro priate speech. Mr. Jourr TAYLOR read the annual report of the commit tee, which, together with the resolutions, having been put from the chair, the meeting separated. OPERATIVE BRICKLAYERS. Last night, a meeting of the operative bricklayers of Liverpool, was convened at a room in Circus-street. Shortly after eight o'clock, at which time about 150 persons had assembled, Mr. GEORGE LACICHAM was called to the chair. He commenced his observations by regretting the smallness of the number of persons present, as compared with the total number of bricklayers, which was very great, in the town, and the lukewarmness thus shown by not more inte resting themselves in the affairs of the trade. The objects for which they had that evening met were, to take into consideration the best means to be adopted in memoralising those masters in the town—and he was happy to say they were but few—who had made the attempt to reduce the wages of the bricklayers to the level of 1852. This reduction was not only unfair to the workmen, but it was also unfair to those masters who were paying a higher rate of wages. The second object they had in view was to strive to adopt some measures to subvert the present system of the masters taking apprentices for less than seven years, without such appren tices being bound for that period ; and lastly, to induce all those bricklayers, who were not already members of the society, to become so without delay. The next speaker, John Stephenson, after detailing the various contingences to whioh the trade had been subjected to for the last few year, by the conduct of a fPur nf tbo wine nrms who were, he said, paying the journeymen 265. per week, while the other masters in the town were paying 28s. per week, and some as much as 30s. Other persons having briefly addressed the meeting, a resolution to the following effect was proposed and seconded : " That this meeting condemns the conduct pursued by a few masters in reducing the wages to the level of 1852, such reduction being injurious to the masters generally who were paying a much greater rate of wages." An operative objected to the word " condemns ;" but, after an explanation, and some little discussion, the resolu tion was carried unanimously. The second resolution was then proposed and carried, which was to tLis effect :—That the meeting composed of journeymen bricklayers, do memorialise those masters who were paying the lower rate of wages, to make an advance, and thus place themselves on the same footing with the other masters. Upon this resolution being put, considerable discussion took place, many of the speakers being adverse to memorial ising the masters, as they had not given an answer to a former memorial which had been presented to them with regard to the subject of apprentices, and an amendment was proposed That the men working in those shops, the masters of which are only paying 265. per week, should leave such em ployers in an amicable manner, and seek for employment elsewhere," This amendment was considered as amounting to a strike, which the chairman said the society altogether repudiated," and upon being put only one person was in its favour, therefore the original resolution was carried. The third resolution was to the effect—" That the meet ing expressed its disapproval of the present system of the masters taking apprentices." A committee of the members of the society and non-members, was appointed to Prepare a memorial to • the employers, after which the meeting separated, INHERITANCE.-A functionary . attached to the administration of one of the Flemish provinces has just come into possession of a considerable fortune from a very singular circumstance, His wife, who belonged to a rather numerous English family, had on her marriage embraced the Catholic religion. A relation of this lady, who had made a similar abjuration, had just died, and doubtless sup posing that a certain number of the members of her family had followed her example, divided her fortune by will into two equal parts, one to go to the Protestant and the other to the Catholic members of it. As the wife of the function ary is the only Catholic among them, she will only inherit one of the portions, amounting to about 3,ooo,oool.—Gdig non' t Measinger. IN.AUGU.RATION OF THE MANCHESTER ANTI SLAVERY UNION. A public meeting of the citizens of Manchester was held on Thursday night, in the Friend's Meeting-house, Mount street, for the purpose of inaugurating the Manchester Anti slavery Union. The meeting was attended by a numerous and highly respectable audience. The chair was occupied by THOMAS CLEGG, Esq. The CHAIRMAN in opening the business of the meeting, explained the object for which they had assembled. He said that the negro, when in a state of liberty, was not only capable of taking care of himself and providing for himself; but of performing all the duties of life. He believed the African squadron had been the chief, the main cause, why so much good had been done for the African, and if that squadron were removed, the slave-trade would soon be as bad as ever it was. (Hear, hear.) Some few years ago he tried to show a native chief that it would be to his own advantage to employ the native people. He gat all the information he could on the subject, and received the willing and ready co-operation of Mr. Bagley and several gentlemen in London, amongst whom were some members of the Society of Friends ; and they sent out perhaps a dozen cotton gins, a packing-press, and various other articles required to make a beginning ; and a large amount of cotton had already begun to arrive in this country. It was cotton of a good kind, and the trade in it promised to become a large one. (Applause.) Let them keep before the public the evils of the slave-trade, and let them circulate that admirable book of Mrs. Stowe's—Uncle Tom's Cabin—par ticularly amongst the working-people, and he felt confident that immense good would be the result. (Applause.) Mr. F. W. CHESSON, one of the honorary secretaries, read a statement which embraced the fundamental principles and objects of the society, of which the following will afford a sufficient notion:— _ " That so long as slavery exists, there is no reasonable prospect of the annihilation of the slave-trade, and of ex tinguishing the sale and barter of human beings ; that the extinction of slavery and the slave-trade will be attained most effectually by the employment of those means which arc of a moral, religious, and pacific character; that no measures be regorted to by this society, in the preseent en of these objects, but such as are in accordance with these prin ciples, and that persons of all sects be invited to, co-operate with it." The Rev. R. S. Scorr moved the first resolution, which was seconded by the Rev. FREDERICK HEMMING, of the United States and passed. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that he had two Africans in his establishment; one was in the counting-house, and as expert a clerk as he had ; and the other was working at the machines, and was as clever as any about him. He thought it was an excellent plan to get people from Africa to come here. (Hear, and applause.) Mr. J OSEPH STURGE, one of the deputation from the pa rent society, noticed the proceedings of the African squad ron, which he had watched for more than 20 years, but which had not materially lessened the slave trade, though this country had spent more than twenty millions sterling in trying to put it down. (Hear, hear.) The coast of Africa was so extensive, that if all the squadrons in the world were employed in the preventive service, he was satisfied that with a profit of 400 or 500 per cent., the trade would still be carried on. (Hear.) That was one of the grounds for the formation of the Anti-Slavery Society, which went upon the basis that unless there was an abolition of slavery, there could not be an abolition of the slave trade. (Hear.) He visited the United States about ten years ago mainly in connection with the anti slavery question. Amongst other places he visited some of the slave-trading establishments of the United States, where slaves in the northern states were sold to go to the southern states. At one of these establishments the proprietor de fended the traffic there carried on. He had often reflected on this subject ; and he was one of those who thought that as far as possible we should leave our American friends to do their own work, as to the abolition of slavery, at the time giving them all the assistance we could. (Cheers.) He was one of those who thought that the English people owed a little debt of justice to the authoress of Curie Tom's Cabin, which had been published in such numbers in this country, where the lady had not the benefit of a copyright. But a testimonial was established for her, and the subscrip tion, which was not to exceed £2,000, was about to be closed. Only £l,BOO had yet been raised, and he thought there had not been five pounds sent from Manchester. (Hear.) He then spoke of the importance of doing justice to India, for he contended that the irhabitants of that country had a strong claim on England to see that justice was dune to them. (Hear.) He believed that the friends of the slave all over the world could not work more effectu ally for the achievement of his freedom than in trying to obtain an abundance of cotton and sugar from India. And one great advantage would be facility of communication. He hoped they would live to see the day when the sun would neither rise upon tyrants nor set upon the slave. (Loud cheers.) Mr. LOUIS ALEXIS CHAMEROVZOW next addressed the meeting in support of the ieboluauu. The resolution was put from the chair, and carried unani mously. The other speakers were, Mr. George Thompson, M.P., the Rev. Samuel B. Ward, a minister of colour, from Canada, and the Rev. William Frail. A vote of thanks having been proposed to the chairman, the meeting sepa rated. M. KOSSUTHON THE WAR. M. Kossuth wrote to the promoters of the Glasgow meeting, setting forth his opinions on the eastern question. The letter mainly attacks Austria. We extract some passages expository of M. Kossuth's peculiar opinions : OUR INTEREST IN THE WAR. " Russia, successful in her encroachment upon Turkish independence, either by . direct con quest or by a hypocritical treaty—more de leterious than even a direct conquest could be —and the despotic Czar of oppressed Russia will be the master of the world, at least of Europe and of Asia. Permit Russia to take hold of a di rect or indirect dominion over Turkey, and she will at once have gained such a preponderance over and above every European power, that in compa rison to her you needs will have lost your position of a first-rate power, and must become dependent on the good pleasure of the omnipotent Czar, at least in some of those politicali social, and com mercial relations upon the compound of which your position of a first-rate power is based. Each of your material interests, from your political stand ing in the great family of nations, to your Indian concerns, where—and let that word well be minded while there is yet time to mind it—all the millions of your Mahommedan subjects recognise the Sul tan of Constantinople as their religious chief— down to the very price of your daily bread, is in volved in the struggle between Turkey and her enemies." WHAT MIGHT BE DONE. " If the British men-of-war would sink or capture the Russian fleet and bombard Sebastopol, and land a Turkish army at Odessa, and secure the line of communication for the Turks, that would be an assistance, Sir. But the passive presence of your fleet before Constantinople is only an em barrassment to Turkey, a check to her energies, an iinpediment to her making use of those means ofdefence which every political consideration points out to her as the most availing and the most es sential. It is, in fact, nothing else than the prac tical EiSsuranoo that, in case of success, Turkey should be prevented from reaping such fruits of her victories as would finally settle the great Oriental question, open for more than a century ; and in case of defeat, to make her die—not like a hero, by a glorious death, but to pi^e away in consumption, brought on her by slowly but cer tainly killing diplomatic negociations." THE POLITICAL POSITION. " No, Sir, no imaginable diplomatic adjustment can settle the Oriental question, unless it does raise a barrier between Turkey and her ambitious neighbours. As long as Austria is depending upon the Czar she will always be in danger of the independence of Turkey in the interest of the Czar. On the contrary, if we imagine her—a strange imagination indeed—independent and strong, she will always threaten Turkey in her own interest. Austria, if deemed a firs t-ratePo wer,reckons it to be her inherited policy to speculate upon the partition of the Turkish empire as well as the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. The Czar is pushed by the wish of becoming a great maritime power, while Austria is pushed in the same direction by mightier reasons yet than those of an inherited ambition. Be it that she loses hold of Italy— which sooner or later is inevitable—be it that Prussia gains an ascendancy over her in Ger many--,-in any possible emergency, she looks for compensation only to the Turkish empire. Moreover, after all that occurred in 1849, Aus tria can never be sure of her dominion over Hungary as long as in her immediate neighbour hood there exists a power which, in the case of a conflict—possibly delayed, yet unavoidable—must become a ready support to Hungarian nationality in all the future, as it has been in all the past, against Austria, Upon these considerations, I may now with confidence claim a verdict on the question. What is the policy convenient to Great Britain's honour, and peremptorily required by her interests ? It is, Sir, the avoiding of half reso lutions, and of half measures before all. Either an open and active share in the hostilities against Rus sia by land and by sea, or a peremptory demand on Austria to put an end to her.ambiguous foul play, and to define clearly her position either as an ally of Russia or of Turkey." CONDITION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY. We read in a letter from Constantinople, of the 7th, in the Journal Des Debuts;— " One of the Russian prisoners captured by the Turks in the fort on the frontier of Asia Minor, was taken the other day before. the Seraskier, and there he underwent, in the presence of several persons, a short interrogatory. This is what one of the witnesses to the scene has related to me :—After having addressed to the prisoner several questions on the corps to which he be longed, and on the military regime of Russia, the perspective was opened to him of passing some days at Constantinople, and then of being sent to Prince Gortschakoff, on condition that he would everywhere say what he had seen, and that he would tell his comrades that the Turks do not eat the christians. The soldier refused, saying that he did not know what awaited him on his re turn; that the best that could happen to him would no doubt be to be sent back to his regiment, but that he had had enough of it. • But,' it was said to him, 'you can see your family again.' My family !' replied the soldier, it is now eighteen years that I have been separated from it, and since the day that I was taken off from my village, I have had no news of my father, my mother, or any one of my relatives ! They are perhaps all dead, or they have forgotten me! Leave me here until the peace, there will always be time enough to give me up !' This de claration produced a very strong impression on the auditory, and it was naturally related everywhere. Some of the loaves prepared for the .Russian soldiers were taken in the same affair, and they were so disgusting, black, sour, and detestable, that the captors placed them on board the steam frigate charged to bring here the trophies of the They have been exhibited, and do not produce less effect than they did on the frontiers of Asia Minor." LONDON POLICE. GUILDHALL.—" KEEPING" AND " BEING KEPT."— Vincent Lamberger, a Polish refugee, was sum moned for an assault upon Ivanhoff Wellinski, his fellow countryman. It appeared that the complainant, who was a medical man, received £5 from the defendant, who alleged it was by way of loan. The com plainant, however, stated he had a claim against the defendant for medical attendance, exceeding that amount, and on meeting him in the street a demand was made for money, which complainant refused, denying that he owed defendant any thing, upon which he struck complainant. Alderman Humphery said: The question of debt you must settle between yourselves, but an assault has been committel, though not of a serious nature, and I shall, therefore, have the defendant bound over in his own recognisances of to keep the peace towards complainant and all her Majesty's subjects for twelve months. Mrs. Wellinski : Can you not do anything else to protect my husband ?• Mr. Lamberger has as saulted him before, and threatened to run him through the body. Alderman Humphery: I have bound him over to keep the peace. Mrs. Wellinski : But who is to keep me, if he kills my husband ? Alderman Humphrey ; You have nothing to fear from him now. I have given your husband all the protection in my power. Mr. Holland, of Great Titchborne-street, here came forward, and said : I wish to ask your wor ship's advice. Mr. Lamberger has taken away my housekeeper, who has robbed me of some of my goods. Alderman Humphrey : Were you living with your housekeeper then ?—Mr. Holland : Yes, sir. Alderman Humphery : How long have you been living with her ?—Mr. Holland: About nine years and a half, sir. Alderman Humphery : I cannot help you. should not keep a mistress. Mr. Holland : I only do that which many in the higher circles of society do, and I don't see why I should be thought worse than them for so doing. Alderman Humphrey: but 1 have no doubt they suffer as much as you from the impropriety of their conduct. Mr. Holland : That man (pointing to Mr. Lam berger) is a rogue and a vagabond in this country, for I took him in without a rag to his back, and kept him from starving. He lodged with me, and I now consider that I am not safe, as he has threat ened to take my life with a sword-stick that he ge nerally carries about with him. Alderman Humphery : Very well, then, if you will bring him up the first time he repeats that threat with a sword-stick in his possession, I'll punish him ; but at present I can only bind him down to keep the peace towards you. With regard to Mr. Lamberger 's robbing you of your mistress, what are your respective ages ? Mr. Holland : The lady was 36 years of age, and I am nearly as old ; but Mr. Lamberger was only 24 years old. Alderman Humphrey: I suppose the lady pre ferred the younger man. Is she present ? Mary Hume (a very unprepossessing-looking female) here came forward- and said she left Mr. Holland because he ill-treated- her, and she had to keep him. Alderman Humphrey: How can you do that?— Mary Hume : I receive an allowance from a mem ber of Parliament. Mr. Holland: Yes, sir; Sir John M`Taggart al lows her £5O a year. Alderman Humphrey: Did you live with Sir John M'Taggart ? Mary Hume: Yes, sir. Alderman Humphrey : And does he know that you have been living with these men ? Mary Hume: I believe not. _ Alderman Humphrey : I suppose not, or he might perhaps stop the allowance. But it was not altogether right, after living with a man nine years, to leave him to go with another. Are you living now with Mr. Lamberger ? Mary Hume: Yes, sir; but he did not take me away from Mr. Holland. I left him voluntarily. Alderman Humphrey : Well, Mr. Holland, I can not do anything to punish Mr. Lamberger, for rob bing you of your mistress. At present he is bound over to keep the peace towards all parties. If you will keep a housekeeper you must take better care of her, or put up with the consequences attending such immoral connections. All parties coneprnpd than rptircd. Fnirs.—The following is alist of beersellers fined for selling ale on Sunday morning last:—Jane Thomas, Highfield-street, ss.` and costs ; Robert Rimmer, Bond-street, 40s. and costs ; Thomas Pierce, Tarlton-street, ss. and costs : William Gorst, Duke-street, Everton, 30s. and costs; Thomas Dent, Blenheim-street, ss. and costs ; James Ward, Banastre street, ss. and costs ; John Hughes, ss. and costs ; John Ryer, Vine-street, acquitted ; Henry Stafford, Park-road, ss. and costs; Jane Evan; Aread-street, adjourned for seven days.

LEcrußEs AGAINST POPERY.—The first of a course of four lectures on popery,addre ssed to the protestants of Man chester by the Rev. Hugh Stowell, M.A., Honorary Canon of Chester, was delivered in the Corn Exchange, Hanging Ditch, on Thursday night. The subject was "On the Spell of the Romish Priesthood." Considering the inclemency of the weather, there was a numerous audience, who listened to the lecturer with the greatest attention. The Manchester Infirmary and Lunatic Hospital has had 37 in-patients and 147 out-patients admitted on the books during the week, and there remain under treatment 185, together with 54 lunatics. AN INTERESTING SLAVE CASE.—Sam Norris, a slave of Mr. J. N. Patton, of Virginia, was, some years ago, permitted by his master to go and live in Covington, Kentucky, pro vided he paid him $lOO per year out of his earnings, which was done. Two years ago Mr. Patton offered him his freedom within four years for $4OO. Of this sum Sam paid down at once $135, and $4O or $5O more subse quently. Recently, however, Mr. Patton refused to abide by the contract, and claimed Sam as his slave. The case was brought before Judge Pryor, of the circuit court, at Covington, and a decision rendered in favour of Mr. Patton, on the ground that a slave cannot make a contract in Ken tucky, and that a slave cannot be liberated in that state except by will or a deed of em"ncipati . on, An appeal was taken to the supreme court.—N. 0. P i cayune. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—At the sitting of the magistrates, on Thursday, Constable Hosford charged a young man, named John Ryan, and apparently about 18 years of age, with having stabbed a man and woman, respectively named M,Carthy and Keefe, on Bandon-road, on Saturday last. It appeared the prisoner rushed out . of a public-hou s e o n the Bandon .road, with . a large knife in his hand, and assaulted every person passing in the most savage manner.

Howard Payne, the author of " Sweet Home," was one 4 of remarkable vicissitudes. "Of an evening," says one who knew him, "we would walk along the streets, looking into tho lighted parlours as we passed. Once in a while we would see some family circle so happy, and forming so beautiful a group, that we would both stop, and then pass silently on. On such occasions he would give me a history of his wandering, his trials, and all the cases incident to hi 3 sensitive nature and poverty. "How often," said he once, " I have been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, London, or some other city, and heard persons singing, or the hand organ playing " Sweet Home," without a shilling to buy th next meal, or a place to lay my head. The world hap, literally, sung it until every heart is familiar with its me lody. Yet I have been a wanderer from my boyhood.' The Musical Transcript.
