SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SELECT ' VESTRY—THE CHARGES AGAINST MR. BRADLEY. A special meeting of the Select Vestry was held on y.ester day, at ten o'clock. The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL in the chair. The other members present were—Messrs. Whitty, Gardner, Bradley, Denton, Mellor, Hand, Crawford, Blain, Shaw, Hughes, Kitchen, Moss, Hutchinson, Whitley, Came. Mr. DENTON begged to know if they had sufficient grounds for such a meeting? With regard to its object, having re ference to certain charges made against Mr. Bradley in the council, he (Mr. Denton) did not think they were justified in taking up the subject, inasmuch as it had nothing whatsoever to do with them. The CLERK replied that the meeting had been called in pursuance of a resolution of the finance committee. The clerk then read the minutes of the committee, from which it appeared that at their last meeting Mr. Bradley called attention to the charge preferred against him by Mr. Hodson, in the council, and moved that a special meeting of the vestry should be called to consider whether any, and what, steps should be taken in reference to such charge. Mr. CARNE said, that considering two members of the board had a right to summon a special meeting, he had complied with the representation of the finance committee in doing so. The CHAIRMAN said, that all that appeared in the news paper quoted by Mr. Bradley, was that a direct charge had " been made against him with respect to his conduct in the municipal elections. That was all he knew about the matter, but he did not think that they could act upon a vague speech reported, and most probably accurately reported in a newspaper. It was said, however, that the council had appointed a committee to investigate into Mr. Bradley's conduct ; but even so, he could not imagine how anything thrown out vaguely by Mr. Hodson, without specifying any particular ' should be an affair in which the vestry was at all concerned. It did not come before them officially, and even if it did come before them in such a shape, it was so vague that he did not see how they could undertake to investigate such a charge. They were appointed, for a particular pur pose—for the transaction of parochial business, and this was not parochial business. If the town council should decide against Mr. Bradley, then, perhaps, the vestry might call a meeting to consider what steps should be decided upon; but at present he should say, in his humble judgment, it was a matter with which they had nothing to do. Mr. GARDNER observed that he should have a very poor estimation, indeed, of Mr. Bradley if he did not call for an investigation into his conduct by the vestry. There was no doubt that they were implicated in the charge. The CHAIRMAN : How ? Mr. GARDNER : Mr. Hodson said "at another Board," and we all know that Mr. Bradley is only. connected with this board and the council. Mr. Bradley, then, is entitled as a member of this Board, and as a gentleman, to call for an investigation into this charge. Mr. DENTON : I object altogether to the principle you are laying down. If it were admitted every little squabble that takes place outside doors should be brought before this Board as a matter with which we were concerned. Mr. GARDNER : This is not a squabble outside—it is a charge against a member of this Board. . Mr. BRADLEY : I did think it my duty to bring this mat ter before this Board, inasmuch as Mr. Hodson has charged me with having used in my position at this board means to carry on unduly the election of Councillors. The words are to this effect—" But this is not the only case against him ; for he (Mr. Hodson) was sorry to say that he knew of two or more instances not only in the council, but in another public body, in which he was connected, and in which he used the influence of his position to carry an election." Now, I am not a member of any other board besides the council, with the exception of this, and it must therefore necessarily allude to my position at this Board. And as a member of this board I did consider that it was my duty as a public man to bring before the notice of this board the public charge made against me. It affects us in two ways: first, as against the Vestry, who are bound as a Board to investigate it ; and secondly, as a charge personally against me, which as sach you are likewise bound to investigate. I therefore upon both those grounds considered it my duty to bring it before your notice, so that I might place myself in your hands—ln the hands of the Board, to say fearlessly that this is a charge groundless in every respect, either by insinuation or by , act. I do think, that when public men, at public Boards, are charged in this kind of manner, affecting their personal character, it does become a strict matter of duty that the Board should be composed of such men that the public could have the fullest confidence in them (hear, hear), in carrying out that public duty which they are authorised as a board to perform. I don't know that I have at any time, while a member of this 'board, placed myself in a posi v--- -....,tr grr to that principle. It is for you to say whether you have seen any [dn.., my conduct that could have given rise to such a charge. I need not, my feel ings in some degree are much mixed up in a matter of this kind, the more particularly when I see, that in some degree there is a decided attack publicly made upon me, and that there is not that kind of sympathy expressed which the principle pronounced and at stake in the matter should have called forth from the public press of this town, with the exception of one journal. And it afforded me very great pleasure to see, in the Albion of yes terday, the principle upon which these kind of mnttcrs ought to be undertaken ; and T do hope that that principle may come under the cognizance of the other . papers of the town, and then, if they will do that, I am quite satisfied I shall have that fair, strict, and impartial inquiry, which I don't think, under the surrounding circumstances in which, as it appears to my mind, that I am placed, I should have. I shall now say no more, than that it rests with this board to say whether they will permit a member of this board tos be under the unjust remarks that have emanated from Mr. Hodson in his charge against me. The CHAIRMAN : There is no evidence before the board to prove that Mr. Hodson made use of those words ; and even if he had done so, it is not at all proved that they have any reference to the Select Vestry ; and if everything any man pleases to say, either in a newspaper or in the Town-Council, is to be brought before us, we shall have special meetings here every week to inquire into every description of charge. I, myself, have been attackedby a most influential member—influential, probably, in his own estimation—of the Town-Council; for that in his opinion, I wouldbe much better employed in going about through the back streets of Liverpool, than in presiding— I do not know if he did not call it a "bear-garden"—but at all events, that I could occupy my time much better than in presiding here on the top of Brownlow Hill. That was a charge against me— Mr. BRADLEY : That is a matter of opinion. The CHAIRMAN : But I might have called a vestry to vindicate my character from such .an insinuation as that I was grossly neglecting my duty as the Rector of Liverpool in attending to the select vestry instead of going about the back streets of Liverpool. The word "Vestry" has not, however, been• used by Mr. Hodson at all. We do not know if he refers to it; and therefore it is quite extrajudicial on our part to go into this basin , ss at all. We are appointed by law for a specific purpose as guardians of the poor of this parish to conduct its parochial business— Mr. BRADLEY : But it is the conduct of the business by this board that the charge affects. The CHAIRMAN : The charge has reference to elections altogether. Mr. BRADLEY : Precisely so. The CHAIRMAN : It insinuates that Mr. Bradley com mitted a misdemeanor with respect to the municipal elections; but it does not say that he committed a similar misdemeanour with respect to the select vestry elections. Mr. BRADLEY : If it were a mere insinuation such as you were alluding to, I would treat it with the same silent disdain ; but here is a public charge affecting the acts of a public man. The CHAIRMAN : But not the select vestry. Mr. BRADLEY : lam a member of no other board, and the charge is, that I used the position I have at the board to carry out certain matters. The C1LA.11012%.1,1 /our position to carry out an election. What election is rt ? I never read anything so absurdly vague as it is. Mr. BRADLEY : But take the context of the speech. Mr. Moss said that he had listened with interest to the remarks which the chairman had made respecting his own peculiar case, and that of Mr. Bradley, and he confessed that he could not see any parallel between them. The observations that were made by that distinguished member of the council, whom he, (Mr. Moss) had the honour to call his friend, though, perhaps, to some extent somewhat vague, yet met with his concurrence. He (Mr. Moss) also thought that the clerical position would be much more efficient if removed entirely from secular pursuits, and that it would be better for the chair man to attend to his sacred functions, than to preside over what he believed had never been called a "bear garden." That word he (Mr. Moss) had never heard from the lips of Mr. Robertson Gladstone, but though the justness of the observation might be a mltter of opinion, it did not reflect on the chairman's private character in any shape or form ; but this, on the other hand, was an attack on Mr. Bradley's private character. He was accused of using the influence which his position at that board gave him for the purpose of carrying elections out of doors. The CHAIRMAN : What sort of elections ? Mr. Moss : Suppose that distinguished member of the council had stated that you had exerted your influence as chairman here to carry elections, how would you have felt ? You would have felt, as Mr. Bradley feels, that there had been a gross insult, and a gross wrong inflicted on your character. Without prescribing to Mr. 13radley or the board what course you should pursue, I think it is neces sary that the board should take up this matter and appoint a committee, and ascertain the truth or falsehood of this charge as the council did. Ido say that if it remains un contradicted, the public will naturally conclude that Mr. Bradley allows judgment to go by default, and that he submits to the charge because he could not repudiate it. I do think that this vestry should institute some inquiry— that a communication should be made to Mr. Hodson demanding whether not or he alludes to t his ve s t r y , a n d what particular charge he has to bring against this board, and not sit down, sub silentio in the way the chairman suggests. I feel the position in which Mr. Bradley is placed, and I do think that it is the duty of the board to throw their mantle of protection around him, consistent with what is right and proper. Mr. DENTON moved--" That as in the question bafois them, there was nothing affecting the character of the board or any member of it, that they now adjourn sine die. Mr. CARNE said it was Mr. Bradley's duty to ask Mr. Hodson to give some specific charge against him, and then to bring it before the vestry. At the present moment it was the most vague thing which it could possibly be; and he (Mr. Cane) could not understand why Mr. Bradley did not communicate with Mr. Hodson by letter in the first instance to say what he meant. If Mr. Hodson then said to Mr. Bra dley he had exercised his influence as a member of this board, and was willing to bring it forward and prove it before the board, then it would be for the board to take it up at the earliest moment it could be gone into. The vestry would be the laughing-stock of the town of Liverpool if it took notice of a thing so vague and trifling. He should also mention that the .Albion condemned the course taken by the council. Mr. DENTON objected to this; they had nothing to do with the council. . Mr. CARNE continued to say the Albion condemned, in the strongest terms, the taking notice such things as Mr. Hodson said they would be laughed at for taking notice of a vague charge, not knowing really whether it affected the conduct of this board. Mr. BRADLEY considered that it not only affected him, but it affected, as he stated in his remarks, the character of the board. He was charged publicly with having, at least by insinuation—whether pecuniarily, occupying! as he dierthe financial department of this establishment, as one of the committee, he did not know ;—but whether it insinuated that course or any other course, it became the bounden duty of the board to appoint a committee, and for that com mittee then simply to ask Mr. Hodson what charges he had to make. The CHAIRMAN : That you should do yourself. Mr. BRADLEY : No, no, sir ; I think it is the duty of the board. (No, no). The CHAIRMAN : No, no ; That you should do yourself ; and if he says he means the Select Vestry, and specifies the charge, then bring him before us. Mr. GARDNER thought it was the duty of the board to inquire, and to call on Mr. Hodson to let them have his charge, if he had any. He should move that a committe be appointed, and he would do so as an amendment, on Mr. D enton's motion. The CHAIRMAN : Let the motion be read first. He then read the motion. Mr. GARDNER would move, as an amendment, that a committee be appointed to investigate the charge, and call upon Mr. Hodson to know what charges he had against Mr. Bradley at the board. He thought the board should protect its members from any such insinuations. The CHAIRMAN : What charge is there? Mr. GARDNER : There is a charge directly for malprac tices at this board. (No, no.) Mr. DENTON : There is no such charge made against any member of the board. ➢Tr. GARDNER contended that inquiry could do no harm. If any gentleman's character was attacked, he should like the charge upon which the attack was founded to be inves tigated. If Mr. Hodson did not bring this before the vestry, he did not dare to do so, and then Mr. Bradley's character would be placed in a proper light. Mr. CARNE : Well, it is so placed in this resolution. There is no charge against him. Mr. GARDNER : The resolution says there is no question before the board. I say there is. Mr. BRADLEY only wanted the matter placed in its proper light, to show that he was fearless of the charge, and that it was the duty of this board, in whose hands he placed himself, to make this inquiry. The CHAIRMAN : You shmild yourself call on Mr. Hodson to know what he means. If he means anything specific, we can deal with it; not that I know how we can deal with him, because we cannot summon Mr. Hodson to give evidence. Mr. BRADLEY : You can simply ask him, as having made the remark. The CILURMAN : That is your business, and not ours. Mr. BRADLEY : I. do not know. A public body ought to look to its position in matters of this kind. Mr. HUGHES remarked that the board was quite willing to play the pact of Jupiter ; but like the carter, Mr. Bradley should first place his shoulder to the wheel. _ Mr. HUTITINSON, who was in a great measure inaudible, was understood to say that, as one of the churchwardens, he had called the meeting, but of course was not aware what business was to be brought before it. If he had he would have been no party to convening the meeting. He thought this was a matter which this vestry were not, or ought not, to be called upon to take cognizance of; and in the present state of the vestry those proceedings were alto gether informal and irregular. (Hear, hear.) If they were to be called together whenever a person made a reflection on the character of any individual member of the vestry they would never have done meeting. (Hear, hear.) Just refer to the words used by Mr. Hodson. He said, "there were, he was sorry to say, instances in which that gentleman (alluding to Mr. Bradley) had used his influence in other elections." What elections were alluded to ? Were they LO tell what ALF. axua.,,.. brs that remark ? If they appoin'.ed a sub-committee what were they to do ? They had Mr. Bradley before them, who said they had made an attack upon his character ; but if a com mittee were summoned, they should have the plaintiff and defendant before them. He thought it would be irregular to take any action on the vague remarks mad° by Mr. Hodson in the council. After all, he did not see what Mr. Bradley could gain by a committee, for he did not know what parti cular elections were referred to. There was only one elec tion that he knew of, where it was asserted by the church warden at the time that a certain gentleman had no wish to come into the vestry, and Mr. Bradley reiterated that he had a desire— Mr. Moss : That is not the question. Mr. HUTCHINSON : It only shows how vague it is ; none of them could tell to what it alluded. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Hutchinson) could very well sympathise with Mr. Bradley ; but in the present stage the vestry could not go into the question without having something more definite. If Mr. Hodson came forward to make a complaint to the vestry that Mr. Bradley had been interfering in any parti cular election Mr. BRADLEY : That is what I want the board to take up ; it affects the public board. _ _ _ `The CHAIRMAN asked if any gentleman seconded the amendment ? Mr. Moss was anxious that an amendment should be pro posed which would ensure unanimity. If Mr. Gardner had got the committee and had proposed that he (Mr. Moss) should be on it, he would have declined to act, because per haps he might be somewhat prejudiced in favour of the posi • tion of Mr. Bradley. But at the same time he considered that at the last meeting of the council the ex-mayor very ungenerously charged him— Mr. DENToN rose to order. The council had nothing to do with it. Mr. Moss begged his pardon. He would illustrate his subject as he pleased. The CHAIIt3IAN remarked that this proved the great inex pediency of having this meeting. They were getting into ques tions with which they had nothing to do. As he said before, if Mr. Bradley wrote to Mr. Hodson to ask him if he meant the Select Vestry, and 'then if there is any specific charge, and he comes before us, they could not help investigating it. But he really could not see what they could do even if he were to say that—_ • Mr. BRADLEY : This is a public thing, and ought to be taken up publicly. The CHAIRMAN : You have spoken of the press, and that is a tribunal which is open to every aggrieved individual,—you can always find the means to set yourself right with the press, and if you write to Mr. Hodson and ask him what he meant by a specific charge, and call upon him to substantiate it, if he cannot do so, he will be obliged to retract in words, or retract in silence, and your conduct will then be set right in the estimation of the public, which is what you want. Mr. BRADLEY: Yes, that is what I want; but I want that ,o come from a public board in the same way as he appealed :o it. Tile CHAIRMAN: That is the very thing against which he protested. He did not think this public board should be made the instrument of writing Mr. Bradley's character, un. less a specific charge was made affecting him as a member of the board. If Mr. Hodson said he had done so and so, then it might be perhaps well for them to take it up, and call on them to substantiate it ; but he had done no such thing. Mr. BRALEY : You know he has inferred. Mr. Moss : By a general imputation. The CHAIRMAN: A general imputation, and Mr. Bradley should call upon him to make it speceific. Mr. Moss : I think he should. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) Mr. Wiirrry suggested that the Vestry Clerk should write to Mr. Hodson. The CHAIRMAN protested against this. Mr. Wurrric was under the impression that Mr. Bradley was charged with having used his influence to cause undue elections at that board. That was Mr. Hutchinson's impres sion, and it was a very general impression. The CHAIRMAN said the vestry was not mentioned. Mr. liriiirrY remarked that the council and vestry were the only two public bodies of which Mr. Bradley was a member. That was well known. He contended that a committee should be formed, and an inquiry made into the charge; for otherwise, any public man might make insinua tions against the character of the members of that board, and no redress could be obtained, unless the board called for an explanation. After complimenting Mr. Bradley so very recently, the vestry should call on Mr. Hodson to know what he meant. After some further conversation, Mr. Moss proposed the following resolution as likely to meet the views of all parties, and induce them to come to a decision. " Certain observations having been made by Mr. Hodson at thp last council, which are believed by Mr. Bradley to affect his character as a member of the Select Vestry, resolved, that this board cannot entertain the ques tion in its present form, and consider it more judicious for Mr. Bradley to apply to Mr. Hodson for a specification of any charge he may have to make against him, affecting his position as a member of the Select Vestry." Mr. DENTON objected to this board being mixed up in the ' matter. It was better to let the plain question be put. When Mr. Bradley has properly matured the question, then let it be brought forward, and the vestry would enter tain it. The CuAiumArr said in answer to Mr. Denton, that two THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. or three members of the board could at any time convene a meeting. Mr. DENTON : All I want is, that Mr. Bradley should not make use of this board. Mr. BRADLEY : There is a public charge ; it is a charge against this board ? The CHAIRMAN : No, no. Mr. BRADLEY : Will you state distinctly it is not a charge against this board. The CHAIRMAN : He would not. He knew nothing about it. He was answering Mr. Denton's objections. Mr. Denton said it was a thing they had nothing to do with, and that they ought not to entertain it at all. They had been summoned together, and he had attended at very great inconvenience ; and if they could end this in a way agreeable to the feelings of all the vestry, he thought they should do so. It would answer all purposes. Mr. DENTON said if Mr. Moss's motion stopped at the words, "the board cannot entertain the question in its pre sent form," he would agree to it. After some further conversation, Mr. Moss's proposition was allowed to stand as the original motion, and Mr. Denton moved, and Mr. Hand seconded, that all the words of the motion following in its present form should be expunged. On a division the amendment was carried by a majority of 9 to 4. Mr. Moss : I withdraw the objectionable part of it, and let us come to a unanimous conclusion. (Laughter.) Mr. DENTON could not agree to that; the amendment had been carried, and Mr. Moss could not now say that he with drew it. Mr. BRADLEY : You must agree to it as long as it is withdrawn. Mr. Moss : If you have your own way what more do you want. The CHAIRKA.N : Do you press it ? Mr. DENTON : I do. Mr. Moss : I withdraw it. Let us be unanimous. Mr. BRADLEY : Withdraw it. The CHAIRMAN then vacated the chair, leaving the re porters to Beside whether the matter had been unanimously agreed to, or whether the board on a division had agreed to expunge the objectionable part of the resolution. SERIOUS CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST AN ATTORNEY. At the Police Court, yesterday, Mr. Walter Robert Crouch, a surgeon to the Northern Hospital, summoned Mr. John Yates, sen., solicitor, for an assault on Friday, the 4th inst. Complainant swore that on the day named he called at Mr. Yates's office, to ask if he would pay him a guinea, due to a medical friend of his, Mr. Walls, for giving evidence in a case. He said, also, that he had a letter from Mr. Aspinall, barrister, justifying the payment. Mr. Yates denied the statement, and said it was untrue. Mr. Crouch said "would you swear that ?" and this irritated Mr. Yates, who rushed at the complainant, took him by the throat, and dragged him towards the door. He afterwards offered Mr. Crouch half a guinea as payment of the claim, which he refused. There was no one in the room at the time but a clerk, and a lady and child were in an outer office. Mr. Owen, who appeared for the defendant, in cross examination, elicited that Mr. Crouch had said that Mr. Yates was a disgrace to his profession, but this was after the assault had been committed. John Jones, clerk to Mr. Yates, was examined, and de posed to very violent and irritating language, which he had heard Mr. Crouch make use of in the private office, the door of which was open. Mr. Owen addressed the bench, adverting to the impro bable nature of the charge, made by a young man against an old man of the highest respectability. The magistrates said they could not doubt that an assault had been committed, and observed that the party accused must be aware of the very honourable position which the complainant held as surgeon to an important charity. De fendant must pay a fine of 40s. and costs. THE WIGAN STRIKES. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) WIGAN, TUESDAY EVENING. A large number of colliers returned to work this morning, but all at prices given previous to the strike. At a meeting of delegates from the different lodges of the Miners' Asso ciation in the Wigan district, held yesterday, at the Free Trade Tavern, Scholes, it was resolved that all colliers should resume work at the old prices, except those employed at the collieries belonging to the following firms :—Messrs. W. H. Brancker and Co. (Walthew House, Bispham) ; Messrs. J. Tayleur and Co. ; Messrs. H. Harrison and Co. ; the Executors of the late J. Rylands, and the Earl of Craw- for I and Balcarres (Upholland C llliery). The men say that the reason for passing this resolution is that the miners working at the collieries mentioned did not ask for an ad vance at the beginning of September, when the notices for an extra twopence on the shilling were given to the rest of the masters ; and that having been kept out of employment for two months, without any act of their own, they are de termined to remain on strike until an advance of twopence on the shilling is given to them. It was also resolved at the delegate meeting that these men should be supporte lby con tributions from the whole of the other men who were in work. The meeting of the coal proprietors and their repre sentatives, postponed from Friday last, will be held on Thursday ; and it is probable that if the colliers persevere in their intention to support the sectional strike we have named, the masters will agree to close the whole of their pits again ; for the real meaning of the new movement on the part of the men may be this : finding they cannot effect their object by a general strike, they may perhaps think of trying what they can accomplish by partial strikes. As far as we can learn, the number of men who have returned to work within the last few days, or are about to do so immediately, is 2,142; and to these must be added an equal number of drawers, making a total of 4,234. The number still on strike is about 762, colliers and drawers together, and the number who have not ceased to work (their employers having given the advance from the com mencement), 520. If to these figures be added 250 for men who have left the district since the strike began, we have a grand total of upwards of 6,000 persons, who were employed in the pits of the Wigan district before the turn out. A NEWSMAN'S DOG. —The Albany Knickerbocker gives an account of a wonderful dog belonging to one of its carriers. The carrier, falling sick, sent out a boy to deliver the papers, who, being unacquainted with the round, was accompanied by the dog, which stopped at the door of every subscriber, never missing one in a hst of 600. At the d oer of the subscribers who had not paid for a long time, the dog was heard to howl. A SCENE ON THE ESK.—This well-known river has been again the scene of a matrimonial incident. A Mr. Blaylock and his daughter went on Tuesday in the family cart to the shop . of Mr. Bell, draper, Cannobie, for the purpose of pur chasing a variety of articles preparatory to the marriage of the young woman. In going from Longtown to Cannobie the party crossed the Esk in safety, and, having made pur chases to a considerable amount, they turned the horse's head homewards in joyful anticipation of the future. On again entering the river for the purpose of crossing over to the other side, just opposite to Woodslee, they'were caught by what our correspondent calls a "sudden and tremendous flood," which is a feature peculiar to our rapid mountain streams, especially in unsettled and rainy weather. The horse and cart with the living freight were carried down the river for a quarter of a mile, the man clinging tena ciously to the reins. At length the wheels were separated from the cart; shortly afterwards the horse's gear was burst by the violent struggles of the poor beast, and finally the the horse and cart were completely separated, the man still holding fast by the reins. Miss Blaylock, being washed near the edge of the river, providenially caught hold of a bush, and succeeded in crawling ashore very much exhausted and frightened. Her father and the horse were equally fortunate, but the wedding garments and other articles of value were swallowed up in the flood. On Wednesday morning the body of the cart was found about four miles be low the point where it went in.—Carlisle Patriot. LYNCH LAW IN MISSOCRI.—Obadiah Wingo was sum marily executed at Richmond, Mo., by the populace, on the 15th October, for the murder of a very estimable citizen, by name Benj. R. Allen. On the morning of the 12th, Mr. Allen, in company with a friend, arrived in town, and, while yet on horseback, was accosted in an insolent manner by Wingo, who, gun in hand, told him he must retract in stanter what he had said about him. Allen replied in a calm and mild manner that lie was not aware of anything derogatory to his character, and desired to be informed of what he referred to, at the same time requesting him not to be too rash, whereupon Wingo, without more ado, cursed him, and said, " I'll make you retract," and on the instant fired, blowing off the whole top of Allen's head. The exciting causes of the hanging of Wingo by the mob are tuns given by the Xxiaro., just come to hand : —" The prisoner not being able to employ counsel, and the indignation of the whole community being so strong against hint that no lawyer would volunteer lils services, the court assigned him able counsel, and appointed Friday for the trial. When the case came up, the prisoner wished his counsel to move for a eiange of venue. His counsel advised him not to make such a motion, stating that if the motion were sustained he would certainly be taken by a mob, and hanged without trial. Hereupon he dismissed his counsel, and undertook the management of his own case. He then ordered a subpoena for Mrs. Allen, the lady of the man whom he had murdered, evidently supposing that her deep distress would prevent her attendance in court. The sub pcena was, however, granted; but whether the attendance of Mrs. Allen was procured or not we did not learn. He next stated to the court that he had learned, from experience in criminal courts, that the law required that the prisoner should be furnished with a flannel of the venire that was to decide upon his case, forty-eight hours before the commence ment of the trial. This requirement of the law not having been complied with, he demanded a continuance of the case until the next March term. At this point of the proceed ings the multitude being satisfied that his only design was delay, with an intention to make his escape, determined to take the law into their own hands and dragging the mise rable wretch from the court, immediately hanged him." THE NEW IRON SHIP " TAYLEUR.—It is now an acknowledged fact that vessels employed in the emigration trade between Liverpool and Australia, very far excel those of other ports in their construction, sailing qualities, and beauty of model. The most rapid passages under canvas have hitherto been made by Liverpool ships. We owe this to the great liberality displayed by our shipowners. In the internal arrangement for passengers, to the attention which is paid to ventilation, to the excellent quality of the food provided for the voyage, and the superiority of the captains and officers in the service. No hint, which experience has suggested, has been allowed to be thrown away ; and every fresh ship built and laid on for the voyage, presents to us some new feature conducive to the improved comfort and health of passengers. This laudable conduct on the part of our emigration houses, has been impressed upon us by an inspection of the new iron ship Tayleur, recently launched from the yard of the Bank Quay Foundry Company, at Warrington, and which is now being fitted up in the Wel lington Dock, as one of Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson's " White Star Line," for Australia. The Tayleur is one of the largest merchant vessels ever built in this country, being 2,500 tons new measurement, with a capacity for carrying 4,200 tons of cargo on a draught of 21 feet of water. Although a three-decker, having a spar-deck, she is only intended to carry passengers on one, the main deck, which is 230 feet long, by 40 feet in width. These large dimensions enable the owners to afford passengers much more than the ordinary space. Thirty feet is about the common width of ships ; and the ten feet additonal posses sed by the Taylour allows the space along the middle of the deck, between the two rows of berths, to be wider, and the passengers' rooms to be considerably larger than usual. The number of passengers which she is capable of carrying, ac cording to her tonnage and deck room, is 680. She is, how ever, only to carry 500, who will thus have given up to them the space which would have accommodated 180 more passengers. She is, as may be conceived from her size, very lofty, and is well lighted and ventilated. Side lights have been made, about eight feet apart, along her whole length, thus opening into every room. A ventilating shaft through her foretopgallant deck, and four port-holes in her stern, afford a constant current of air through the ship; and she has besides seven covered hatchways, with windows to open and close, thus admitting light and air from the deck above. Th ere i s ever y facility afforded for classifying the passengers. The crew will be entirely sepa rated : their berths being under the foretopgallant deck. The Tayleur is divided into five compartments, which will be separated by bulkheads. Between the foremast and mainmast is the " second cabin," which will accomodate about sixty, in rooms of two, four, and six berths each, in a very superior manner. In the centre of the ship, " first class," passengers will be accommodated in rooms of the same size. The " intermediate forward," and " interme diate aft." is also fitted with rooms of two and four berths each ; and a few steerage passengers will be carried in the space from a little aft the foremast to the bows of the ship. There is a keparate access from the deck to all the compart ments. In the fittings-up of the rooms, &c., adornment has not been spared, which will aid in imparting a cheerful aspect to the ship. The accommodation on the spar-deck above, which will, doubtless, be the, chief resort of the pas sengers in fine weather, is unusually great, affording an al most uninterrupted promenade of nearly 230 feet in length. It is fitted up with a saloon aft, which will contain the captain and chief officer, and a limited number of first cabin passengers. This saloon is admirably ventilated, with win dows all round, and two skylights. A portion of it, aft of all, is fitted up with sofas as a lounging room, and other conveniences for the accommodation of the passengers. The cooking galley is on this deck, forward, and is capable of providing for the physical wants o f 1000 persons, if re quired. As a whole the Tayleur is one of the finest vessels ever launched ; and, since her arrival in this port, has eli cited the warm admiration of nautical connoisseurs. She possesses great power of carrying sail combined with sharp ness both fore and aft ; and we venture to predict that she will not only sail fast, but prove a most comfortable con veyance for passengers. She is commanded by Captain Noble, late of the famed clipper ship "Australia," a gentle man well acquainted with the trade. IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING RODOCONACHI v. SODERHOLM.—This cage came to a conclusion, for the present, yesterday, and resulted in an order for the discharge of the defendant, who was in custody under a judge's fiat. Their lordships, however, did not ground their decision on the merits, but acted in accordance with autho rities cited, which went to declare that where, in a ex parte proceeding for obtaining a fiat, the per son obtaining it suppressed a material fact,—on appeal the order should be reversed without fur ther inquiry into the case. Thus in the present instance, when the plaintiff sought for a fiat, he did so on the grounds that the defendant had been guilty of a breach of contract by selling part of his cargo at Constantinople, and converting the proceeds to his own use; whilst, it appeared, du ring the hearing an appeal, that he had in the sale acted under the advices and by the decision of the Swedish Consul at Constantinople, at which place there was an agent of the plaintiff's, who was, in some sort, a party to the consul's so exercising his jurisdiction. It also appeared that a statement had been omitted to the effect that Captain Soder holin's 'vessel, " the i\Jinette " was obliged to put into Constantinople, on account of her having been in an exceedingly leaky condition. Consi dering the above omissions, the court accordingly ordered the discharge of the defendant. An action has been commenced by the plaintiff, but it is likely he may not think it worth while to go on with it, as Captain Sodorholm may now sail away as soon as he pleases, and his owners reside out of the jurisdiction, It may be mentioned that the affidavits on which the fiat was originally obtained, and --tho bungling in which caused its after discharge, were framed in London, where Mr. Rodoconachi carries on business. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—The number of deaths from various casualties in Ireland has been greater than for many years. There is not a day passes in the metropolis alone, in which there are not two or three inquests on persons falling dead in the streets, bursting blood-vessels, &c., and it . is calcu lated that on different parts of the sea-coast, during the present year, nearly two thousand persons have perished by drowning. THE POTATO.—Notwithstanding the disastrous reports in the early part of the year, it is now as certained beyond a doubt, that the quantity of this crop destroyed by the blight is very inconsiderable. From Dublin, Limerick, and Waterford, they are being shipped for England in large quantities. A COAST DISASTER.—The Belfast News Letter says :—Ou Saturday morning, a pretty stately looking brig was discovered by the coast-guard of Ballywalter station, to be lying " high and dry" upon a reef in their own locality. On repairing to the vessel, it was discovered that not a soul was on board. On further examination it was found that all her papers, and much of what had been move able within her, had been removed. Hereupon, it appears, the party took possession of her, knowing that at high water she would float, and could easily be removed from her then awkward position. By and-by, wo understand, or shortly after she floated, a number of persons, stating themselves to be the captain and crew of the vessel, came alongside, desiring possession of the brig, which was as sturdily denied them. From the statements that have transpired, we understand that the vessel is a Neapolitan, laden with cast iron, and that, hay-, in; drifted upon the reef alluded to, from their being no pilot on board, and from a total ignorance of the coast, the crew conjectured that in order to_ save their lives it was necessary to take to their boats, and to abandon her to the breakers ! The coastguard, however, acting on a different policy, yoked to the deserted brig the Belfast steam-tug, and in the forenoon of the same day, had their prize coolly stowed away in Clarendon-dock, where she is at present lying. WRECK OF THE CALIFORNIA, EMIGRANT SHIP, OF Smoo.—The Sligo Chronicle has the following account of the preservation of the third boat, which was missing, with a part of the crew and passengers of the ill-fated vessel. The third boat ; the jolly-boat, contained the owner Mr. Delany, the captain, and some passengers were picked up on the mornintr of Sunday, about 25 miles from Achill, by the schooner, Mary, of Limerick, bound for that port. All the passengers rushed to the life and long-boats thinking there was greater safety in them. Mr. Delany was unable to get any water or provisions except some ham-bacon into the jolly boat, and the crew were without provisions except the ham until relieved by the schooner, the captain of which treated the crew with the greatest kindness. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.—SinCe the fatal accident at Straffan, the irregularity of ' the trains on this line has been of the most glaring description. At the intermediate stations, it is the merest chance that the time mentioned in the table is kept at all. In this day's papers, a corres pondence appears which has passed between the directors and Lord Desart, in which his lordship states that having been detained at Carlow on one of the trains until he gave up all hope of getting on, he forthwith took a chaise to Kilkenny, and sent in the bill for it to the directors, which, however, the latter have bluntly refused to pay. It is to be hoped his lordship will try to compel them. ANOTHER SHIPWRECK.—The Clare Journal has the following :—On Friday night, the Brigantine Vie toria, of Liverpool, Owen Owens, commander, laden with oats from Limerick, by a Mr. Connell of that city, and bound for London, ran aground on a reef of rocks in a small bay about half a mile to the west of Kilcradane. lighthouse. The accident oc curred about eight o'clock at night, in a dense haze, which, though it did not intercept the lighthouse light, deprived those on board.of a view of the land. Though there was little wind, there was a heavy swell, which caused her, immediately after she struck, to rock so violently that the crew, fearing that she would at once go to pieces, lost no time in getting into the boats ; leaving the Victoria to her fate they rowed to Carrigaholt, a distance of about three miles. At four o'clock on Saturday morning, the coast guards took charge of the wreck, and shortly after the sailors commenced moving ashore chains, cables, anchors, spars, rigging, in a word everything portable. Though great crowds assembled no attempt at either plunder or theft was made. Though up to Saturday morning the vessel had received no serious injury, there appears no chance of getting her off the sharp ridge of rocks on which she lies. Mn. LUCAS, M. P, This gentleman attended at Navan, on Tuesday, and delivered a continuance of his lecture on the Industrial Resources of Ireland. A scheme was set on foot for organising a subscrip tion to resuscitate Irish manufactures. CLON:kIEL ELECTION-At present the chances are all in favour of Mr. John O'Connell. MIIRDE R.—Richard Jones, of Wexford has been arrested for killing his father in a quarrel, caused by a dispute on account of the latter having deter mined to marry a second time. NEW KIND OF MAIL MATTER.—A few days since a post master at one of the offices on the New London route was very much astonished on emptying one of the mail bags upon his table to see a nice little kitten spring out from the heap of letters, and frisk about very much, as little kittens are apt to do.—Newhaven Palladium. THE LATE Sin C. J. NAPIER.—Some surprise has been expressed at the low figure, 20,0001., under which the per sonal property of the late General Sir Charles Napier was sworn when his will was proved, as it was understood that the gallant general had received 70,0001. prize money from the conquest of Scinde. It appears by the will, that 50,000/. had been given away by the gallant general before his death, so that the proving . of the will under 20,0001. will account, with the 60,0001. given away, for the Scinde prize money. The other property, being real property, is not of course taken into account in proving the will. SALISBURY ELECTION.—The nomination of a member for Salisbury, in the room of Mr. C. B. Wall, deceased, took place. The mayor, in opening the proceedings, remarked that it was not a year since when Mr. Baring Wall, in soliciting the suffrages of the electors, said he should like to live and die in their service, and he (the mayor) little thought that such a wish would so soon be realised. Mr. W. C. Finch proposed Major-General Buckley, and Mr. W. C. Fawcett, a magistrate, seconded the nomination. Mr. S. Martin proposed Captain Julius Roberts; Mr. Gould seconded the proposal. Major-General Buckley, in return ing thanks, said he placed the most implicit confidence in Lord Aberdeen's ministry, which he should support, believ ing that it would promote the real welfare of the country at large. He would not vote against the ballot, if he could not conscientiously vote for it. Captain Roberts told the elec tors that he came forward as an independent and honest man, and that it would be his study to follow the example of the late member. The mayor declared the show of hands to be in favour of Captain Roberts, but a poll was demanded for Major-General Buckley, and was fixed for yesterday. COUNTY COURT-YESTERDAY. The court sat at the usual hour yesterday. LEWIS v. WILLIAMS—This was an action brought by John Lewis, a glazier, against William Williams, a house agent, to recover 1/. ss. 10d., the price of 62 feet of glass. The evidence of the plaintiff was to the effect that a tenant of a house for which defendant was agent, came to him, and asked him to put in the glass, upon which the plaintiff called upon defendant, and got an order from him to put in the glass, at sd. a foot. The defendant denied that he had given any such order, and deposed that when plaintiff made the claim upon him, he told him to go to the person who had ordered the work, upon which plaintiff said " If you don't pay.me I will swear you gave the order." His honor finally gave a verdict for the defence. APMEE v. HARRIS—A woman named M'Mee sought to recover ius. 11 UM a young Mall naurca. lint .F a pair of boots. The plaintiff deposed that defendant came into her shop to purchase a pair of boots ; ho tried on a pair which did not fit, and then another pair, the price of which was 10s. In taking off the second pair of boots, he pulled ono of thorn so violently that the leather tore across. He then refused either to take the boots or to pay for them. The defendant alleged that the leather in the boots was quite rotten, and no stronger than brown paper, and said he took them off as easily as he could. Plaintiff : I would not tell a lie for a pair of boots. We are here to-day and there to-morrow. (Laughter.) I would not tell a lie for a hun dred pairs of boots. His Honor : It seems that you were rather rough in this matter,•and that you did some mischief which you might have avoided; but I cannot say that you must pay 10s. for it. You must pay half a crown, and the costs to be paid in court. SLOANE V. YULE—Peter Sloane, linendraper, summoned George Yule, Dryden-street, carrier, for if. 135., the value of goods furnished to his wife. The defendant alleged that he never knew that his wife had got the goods, and never saw them. Re stated that he.told his wife some time since, never to take any goods from travelling Scotchmen, who persuaded people to give them orders. He also desired her never to go on credit, and he never knew that she did so, except upon one occasion, when he went with her to a shop in town. In answer to the court, the de fendant stated that he had 265. a-week wages, of which he allowed his wife 1/. for the support of the family, and kept the remainder for clothes for them. His Honor said that appeared to be one of the cases in which by the recent decision of the judges a husband was not liable. It appeared that the defendant had given positive orders to his wife not to deal with those people, and that he never knew that she had got credit, except . upon one occasion, when he was himself with her. He should, therefore, hold that the defendant was not liable, and that his wife had no authority to pledge his credit. The case was accordingly dismissed. GEORGE JOHNSON, TREASURER OF THE LIVERPOOL BENE VOLENT LOAN SOCIETY, V. MOORE.—ThIS was an action brought upon behalf of the above-named society to recover £3 ss. from the defendant, the balance remaining due of a loan for which the defendant had been a surety. The prin cipal in the case and the co-surety we're some years dead. Mr. Chilton appeared for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of the officer of the society, that the last pay ment was made in July, 1846, Mr. Chilton remarked upon the hardship caused to the defendant, who was a poor man, in being now called upon to pay this amount, after a lapse of seven years, and after the principal and the co-surety had died. His Honor : lam prepared to say that it is a case in which I may grant indulgence, if that is what you want. I shall order it to be paid in a very small way, because I think it is a case in which this man is entitled to considera tion. The officer of the society stated that they were will ing to take the amount in any payments, however small, which the defendant could afford to give. Tho defendant coicl ho nc - rci icxeived any notice of the debt during . the time mentioned. His Honor: I will take that into consideration, and make an order such as I never made before in any case connected with such societies. I will order that it be paid at 4s. a month. The greater number of the cases heard during the day were trifling claims of debt, which possessed no public in terest. We understand that Mr. Bright, M.P., will be unable to be present at the Peace Meeting about to be held in Glasgow, in consequence of a sudden and severe domestic bereave ment. Her Majesty the Queen, hearing of the very heavy drain upon the funds of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society, consequent upon the late disas trous gales, has, with her accustomed liberality, presented this valuable institution, of which she is patron, with the sum of 100 guineas. THE TEA TRADE, Nov. 14.--The deliveries of tea in London for the week are 584,2101 b., a trifling decrease only as compared with the previous week. DEATH OF LADY PANMURE. —We regret to announce that Lady Panmure died on Friday, at Pitfour Castle, Perthshire. Lady Panmure, who was born in 1807, was the eldest daughter of the second Lord Abercrombv, and was married to Lord Panmure, then the Hon. Fox Maule, in 1831. She leaves no issue. DEATH FROM EATING YEW BERRIES.—A few days since Mr. Whitmarsh held an inquest at Sevenhampton, on the body . of a child, who had been poisoned by eating some yew berries which it had picked up in the churchyard while playing there with some other children. The jury found that the deceased had been "accidently poisoned."—Salis bury Journal. GOOD COUNSEL.—The most superficial glance at the present condition of European states shows that those nations which linger in the race cannot hope to escape the partial diminution, and, perhaps, final annihilation of their resources. It is with nations as with nature, which knows no pause in ever increasing movement, development, and production —a curse ever cleaving to standing still.—Hion bold& LADY CHARLOTTE GUEST, of Dowlais, has promised to supply the whole of Dowlais with water at her own expense, involving an. outlay of 3,000/. The supply is to Le drawn from the Dowlais lands, and will prove a most invaluable boon to Dowlais, which at present is scarcely supplied with this necessary element, and the sanitary condition in conse quence is extremely wretched.
