T,II me, sir, how we you presume to go to Mr. Stanley's box, in hia own holies., and break epos his box co ,xuniee i 1 Inspector: Why, heceuse tie pri sonar livid with him (Great 1 eiglrer.) Mr. Block : Do you, el-, dare to enter houses, and hawk open peoiel.-as boxes, because other persona who near live in such bosses a ffer things in pawn ? Inspector : Who - . ebe Heel there, Ai a wed that was quite enough for Ma. 111,*. Block : I declare I never ,heard aey'hieg so growl/ morageotio as this; bur. I will mike you answer for it. Tell me, sir, do ewe know, on your otth, anything about Mr. Stanley ? Nothing, except by hearsay. Was he there ? No. Mr. Block : And yet you hotel the andecity to break even his box ? No ; I p.ned it with ak y. Mr. Black : Where did you get the key ? I hal it ; it is my own ,key. Mr. Black: Than you turned nick-lock, in place of losing- a p_lice officer. Jsh ill ~have you prosecuted for this ; for bow can we tell th d yea d e net carry pick-look keys about you, and commit robberies by such mans. Inspector : I would hews. taken Staaley ifl would have ot him. Mr.Bleek : Indeed, weuld you ;or any one e'se. Inspector : No, net any one else ; I would not. Mr. Black : Yoa ae a won derful fellow.

Inspector: got eleven silk h ondkesehiefe that were washed ; four new one.; a pawn ticket ref a diamond ring, for £4 ; and a pawn-Picket of a geld chain, for £4. Mr. B uck : I shell certainly prefer a charge of robbery against you, on the part of Mr. S ale y, foe break- , ing open his box, and stealing his property f , ona it. I never heard of such an outrage as this. First, the officer takes this 1 dy into custody, because she, like many other ladies, is fount offering a silk handkerchief for tele,ige, and then he proceeds to Mr. St:Wolfs Issues, and actually won - nits a robbery in it. Mr. Clough : In censequonce of what the pewnb - oker toll the inspector, we ask for a remind of the prisoner. Mr. Black : This is all very floe, but I insist on having no renewed, and his Worship will, I su' mil, aeres with me, that there i§ no case whatever aeainst my client. Mr, Cloagh : Mr. Stanley is a well-known thief. (Load laugher) Mr. Muck : I will bring an action against, you for saying so—he is no thief. he can give a ebeque on the bank this nronent few £6OO, and this is the must outrageous case I ever head of. After considerable eitscussien, Ur.. Mansfield said there was no case against the prisoner so as to came him to ramaud her. Mr. Bluik a ked for Mr. Stanley's property to be restored to him by' the police. Mr. Mansfield said he would not make any ord , :r as regarded the property. Mr. Black said he would bring an action agsirat Mr. Clorgh for its restora tion. Mr. Clough repeated that Stanley was a thi of.

Mr. Mansfield did not se: what all this had to do with the case before him, Me.

AN ATLAS GRATIS WITH TUB "DISPATCH."—On and after Sunday, October 4th, 1857, each cloy of the Dispatch will b' accompanied with a map, a chart, or the plan of of a principal town, so as to furnish to each anbscrih-r, gratis, the most comprehensive, complete and generally useful Atlas hitherto published in Great Britain. The size of the engravings will be that of one page of the newspeer, six maps and two plans, in each year, will be of dnub'e the size —l 7 inches by 25. The ordinary maps will be correctly tinted, the charts will be properly relieved in bin and the plans will be printed in a rich colour. The Bauble maps will be the object of great attention in the desire to make them beautiful specimens of map colouring. It is hoped, in the course of nu unreasonably protracted time, that the Dispatch Atlas will contain more names and positions of places than any other English publication of the kind. The counties will be given se parately, and whe-e they are large and populous, as in the case of Lancashire, each division of the count wLI oelaay a page; again, the States of Italy will be the subject of six distinct maps. The names of the draughtsmen an I engravers will be the best guarantee for perfect accuracy. The maps will be as full as clearW•ss and refare: ca will allow. Cnrectious and discoveries will be given from the best au horities. The engravings will be in the highest style of art, many thousands of pounds being devoted to their cost, and they will be taken from original drawings expressly prepared for the series. Directors of mechanics' institutes, the conductors of all educational establishments, the proprietors of hotels, reading-rooms, and coffee-houses, will, iti poresing the Dispatch Atlas be supplied with a daily want. The money value of the completed work may be best ascertained by inquiring the selling price of any large and trustworthy collection of maps. The Dispatch Atlas will he forwarded with the numbers of the paper at the usual price ! 51. per con, or 61. stamped. On the fist issue some hints al Ibe given for preserving, indexing, and binding the Atlas Orders received by every news-agent and bookseller in Usti king dom, and at the Dispatch office, 139, Fleet.street. The Friday evening edition may be received in the moat distant part of the kingdom on Anturday morning.

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCF. Last evening, a public mee ing of the friends of the Evangelical Al liance was held at the Hope Hall, H p - street, for the purpose of hearing addresses delivered by several gentlemen who hail attend( d at the late conference at 13.irlio. The meeting was 'twill at ended, having bce I convened by public announcement at the various places of worship the toe!) on the preceding diy. The chair was taken by the Rev. D:. R flhs, who was accompanied on the plajorm by sevoral , Assenting ministers, and other gentlemen cotaseeted with the Aliance. After the meetinT had been ope-ed, is the usual man-er, by singing a hymn of praise, and a prayer by the Rev. Mr. The Rev. Dr. Rerrers britfle op - ned the meeting. by observing, that from the placards on the was's, acid from the aeneunceaaeuts from the several pulpit, they were all well aware of the purposes fir which they had assembled, therefore there was ro need of an opening address from the Chairman. The•efore, as be had nothing to explain, he ehnu'd call oe the different speakers, who would g - ve slvm some interesting facts canrec'el with the la . .e Conference hold at Berlin, the capital of Pressia. The R-v. B.ReFee then add: , seed the meeting?, and arter a few introductory remarks, proceeded to qua() the c:reu nstances and r which the late meting was celled, and then the objec's of the Alliance, the fir-e, great irtee'ine of which was held in Linden in the year 1851. and sir.e3 then in Paris, and in other large p'ssies. He then described Berlin, but would leave it to other; to give a desc iption of the coeferenc , itself. On the day they met there, a' the King's own in vi avian, Frederick-William and his Princesses, and persons from every coon ry, at Potsdam, worshioed their God in one spirit of c - ne.erd. Ha next doer:bed a meet ine, h Id on a Sabbath morning, of 200 persons acepeinted with the E tglish llngeage. which was the culminating point, to hie mind, of the EvangePcal Alliance. The R !v. Mr. GRAHAM Ft xt. addressed the meeting, and gave a detailed account or the several meetings of thy Alliance at which were held in the earrison church ire tat conntrr, and lasted from lifore - !ay until he Thursday week following. He also touched upon the topics as cu'sed at those meetinge, and the characters of those who had taken a I ailing part in each suljcet reviewed Ile thoucht that , he result of such meetirgi would be a great advantsge, to Germ my, because they had rever been able to hold such meeting*, and :Ise that the seed of religious liberty had been SOWN in that country, and el though they were then i,t the rock, they would ultimately break forth. It had also done go - d, in the fact that she E'glish had bnoml acTtaint3l with Groslnv, many with England, and woa!d know each oher much bet'er. meetinz w s in.b•everitly aidr. :vied by the Ttw. M..

After a c Fee'rion, is nit of the finds of tin A'tianc_!, art blesiing wis pronounced by the chair man, and the meeting separeed. THE PR%SENT CRISIS. T THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERX Sta--In these, times f ecornereill embarrassment, it becomes alin.nit a du!y to pont ont any, and every means which, upon mature rill ction, app-.lr cslculVed either to relive the present cfsts, or to proven! its recurrence, With() attemptiag argue the currency qu elan, I may simply assume as a fact, th.st the circulation which was consider, d sufficient, when the Bilk rssed, is clearly in , ufficien: for our pie ent largely inc:c tsed com mercial transacti Os. In addition, however, to this difficulty, another is sailer add d by the 1 tw, which tends greatly t ) circumscribe the us• of the capital in banking operatims. I will quote, as an example, th , London Joint Stock Banks, whafra printed reports are before me. I se'ect four, whorl aggrega►e capital is un , l,r four milliocs, and whose average diaifiends are ah•,u: fifteen p^r cent. These es'abl.shments have ens iaued to allure about fo ty millons of dep sits, or tenfold their osa On an averale of years, these depositors have received. from four to fi'o per cent. ftr their money, wtilst the shareholders havo divided fifteen. ITow is this ? Are London cinitalis's fond of sal giin.? Far from it, but they dread the lirbility of till shareh , ,lder, and prefer bein , r deposi:ors at five, rather than shareholders at fifteen per ce it. _ . If this were the only inconvenience, it would be ttiflinp. The fact, however, is, that these hulks are c - mstantiv obliged to k 0,1 a vary larze pr , portion of these depts'ts q rite i lle, w:dting the etp•iN of the depositor, and thus the carraltr.inn. The remedy is simple. Giv. us a hank with lictited liability, en I depositors will then become sharehollcrs. fcarless'l and succes , fully. Tto deposi s would then be co.avertel int. permanent bulking capital, and would n longer bear, as at present, the uoseeally proportions of too to one, but vvotild beca-ne more (goal, and a 1 trge amount of the (tt present) idle coin, would fiat] circulation. The t x ample of Lie rpoui may he q tote I as a woof of what I have st4erl. The banking capital of this town is notoriously ksaftleient, and yet, with an abund ince of wealth, and al admitted want *o be supplied, no capitalist will tall-ctib a to a new b so long as the law hot is his entire propetty liable, though he naay Ito bat a holder of ten char , s. If tha priniple of linli`ed liabili'y in by k; amid be es, ablished, h tate i. 9 w..,uld freely suhicrib , a potion of their deposits, and thus a 1iq.7,0 elwa)s available banking capital would irnmeiLtaly fa cc:l.4e. Th 3 present cri.is is my only oplogy for thus int-nding on your valued space. _H. C. B. THE BILLETING SYSTEM. TO THE EDiTOR OF TAB NORTIIRF TIMES.

A STORY OF Tll3 Rev LT. —A lady w'th two children. one an infant, val the other a boy of four years oh+, we h-ought one day in a native cast by s me vi lagers to this B i iris e , rnp, before Delhi. The lady was the wife of Mr. Non, the deputy collector of a distlict near D lhi. He was absent from his home when the insurrecti n occurred. Mr.. Nun and her eiildren were the only Europnans in their home, and that house was et a considerable distance from any Eur)pes:n station. The b-woiliered lady knew not how to act, or where to fly. News cane that the Sepnys were killing all the Eur ipeans, and the r xistence of a deputy collector and his residence must have been generally known. The neighbouring villagers knew her (larger, t ffered her shelter. and urged her to remain in hid ing with them. She followed their ads ice at last—left her house with her children in the absence dinar husband, only in rime to escape the S.epoys, who destroyed oheir property, and offered a reward of one hnnired rupees for her seiznv. For three months M s. Yun and her ch ldren were hi !den by The Hindoo vill gers. She had no money ; but sh was supplied wi 11 cloth s, with food ar.d shelter, f x2eritncing no inconvenience that her native fiends could prevent, and none that was not Lcidental to her position. When the hunters for her life, and cbi'dren's liven, came dang.rouly near to her hiding pace, she was removed to another yin,r. The offer of one hundred rupees—ten p have been claimed by one of mat y person., fi felts. in the circumstance is a guarantee of their gmeresi y. Tice great risk in their ho pita'ity, for the discovery of the lady would have insured the ruin of these villages. 'rue cornm'tted treason to the li.wiess men who, for a time, rui d the coat— try, io f.tnr of a helpless wontatt, wllo might never be able to repay the smallest per ion of he: debt—the cost of her living : one of a nation whose subjects were hunted to death on every ide, and whose reign was supposed to be closed in blood. The story has all the elemeni of romance, for Flora McD maid had many Ilindoo in favour, not of a print. , hut a stranger, an alien in blood, in racot, and reigion, whose people seemed to be beaten, banished, and drives from the land.-714. TOWN COUNCIL. The Town Council met at twelve o'clock yesterday, in the Town Hill, for the election of Mayor, the nomination of committees, and other baiiness. The chair WAS occu pied by the Mayor, Francis Shand, Esq. ELECTION OF MAYOR. Th 3 CUAIRSUN said— Gentlemen, I believe the first duty you have to perform to day is to elect a successor to the office which I have now the henour to hold. Mr. Cnettbes TURNER said-LI rise, Mr. Mayor, for the purpose of proposing a gentleman to succeed you in the high and important position you hare filled during the last year with so much dignity and credit. My task, sir, is compsratively an easy one, because the gentleman I have to propose enjoys, I am qei`e sure, the universal regerd and esteem of all members of the Council, and of the inhabitants of the town generally. Mr. James Holme has raised himself to distinc ion among us by the industry and the ability with which he has mewed his own private affairs, but prticalerly sir, by the readiness with which he has at all times placed his eminent and valuable services a' the disposal of the Council and the community generally, whenever his services could be of any use. (Applause.) It is indeed, quite unnecessary for me to dilate upon the character and the public services of a gentleman with whose name, I believe very few of the iehabiosn - s of this larg e community ars not a-qeainted. (ricer hear) Bit. sir, at the same time, I feet that it would be unpardonable in M 3, as chair man of the Dock Committee. were I v. pass over in silence the eminent services which Mr. H,lnae has rendered in that committee, of which he has been, for a 1 ,ng period, one of the most veluelo'e sad useful in. mbete. (Hear, hear.) If any other ge,tlemen is to be prspesed for the position of Mayor, and if the el, cti on is to dap tnd up on the services which have been rendered to the town, I am gni:e stills that Mr. Helms has nothing to fear, if his services a-e put in comparieoe with the services of any other gentleman is Council, wh:ever he may happen to be. (Hear, hear ) Sir, I have great pleasure. with these few remarks, in pro posing that Mr. J. Holme be Elected Mayor for the succeed municipal y ear. I believe that he sill fill the ale° with tity, with ability, and with impartiality, and that at the ter .oinetien of the important duties which, if elected, he will - have to fulfil, he will reeiglthe office, feeling that he enjoys ,the regard, the goodwill, and the esteem of this great com munity in thelslsne high degree as yourself, (Applause.) Mr. Ablermau PARKE% said he pe. famed a very grati fying and pleasing duty to himself in see mding the nomination of Mr. James 11)'me. Every gentleman who had attended the Council mu-tie struck with the strathte forward manner in which Mr. Hulme had psr'ormed his duties His services were known to all, and the manner in which the Chairman of the Dock C .mmittee had eulogised his services in that great and mighty trust, must convey to the Cou , c:1 at large Mr. Holme's compc,teace to fill the station for which he was now proposed. With these simple remarks, he row begged leave to second the motion, Mr. ROritgaT3ON GLIDSTOWE : Mr. Mayor, I sincerely hope that on no future occasion any charge will be brought against the Corporation of inattention to thei: duties. I ask those who sit like myself regularly in this room, whether this is not a most delightful sight presented to the view ? (Hear, hear, and I,ugh'er.) Almost every member of the Council in his place—and for what ? For what,? Is it to' discharge the thrice of the committee that they have come here ? No: they make their appearance to carry ont one particular scheme which they have at heart. Whether they will succeed in that object or not at present, it is not for me to say ; bat I wish to direct the nue :don of the public to this—that if there is in their inmost thoughts any object which they nre de ermined, at all hazards, to carry here, they cal come—they can leave their premised, they can leave their own business, t' ey can leave their own inte rests, and, like men of digeified hon mr, come to the resew.), and virtuously attend to their duties. (Einar, hear, and laughter) Now, sir, I feel very g-eat satisfaction in being permitted to propose, for the consideration of the Council, the name of a gentleman, a member cf this Cor poration. as a lit and proper person to fill the offs e of Mayor, foe the ensuing yew. I believe, sir, I shall speak within the bounds of perfect truth, when I say, that a sense of justice and of honour alike, and a 1 eve of fair play—(hear, hen') —all as it were, instinctively combine to recommend, to the favour ble consideration of the Council, one gentleman, to wheal I shall peesently allude sir, a lengthened daretien of faithful sere cas, ex ending over a periol of something like twenty years, with one year's intermission only, I believe ; if a close and punctual attention to the duties of the various committees; if an anxious desire to promote the bests interests and welfare uif 4)rtltiltVl re ,uiiun ito4Lvt. au ...NUM. 4/• - ibLE desiring municipal distinction, I say that all these are the property of Mr. William Preston. (Applause.) It must not be supposei, sir—it cannot be made a charge egainst me at d the gentlemen who propose t act with me on this occasion, that we i tten i to pot our hands, as it were, into the tree-nry of municipal ands for the urpose of dis charging a debt dug for political services only (Saar, hear) On the contrary, Mr. Preston has never been, in my recollection at least, an active political partisan ; but if he had taken each a line of conduct, I am quite satisfied of this, that he would be the very last man to accept of such a payment, under such circumstances. (Cries of " Ilea-, hear.") Again, (4r, on the great It'alto of our Exchaige, " where merchants most do congregate," Mr. Preston is honoured and esteemed. (Hear, hear.) No name stands higher: no man is mere siocerely re girded than Mr. Preston. (Hear, hear.) During the , number of years that Mr Preston has been a member of the C haul, my attention his frequently been directed to him, not on acconet of any frequent appearance he has made among us as a speaker. but I have observed a total absence, which has been particularly g-atifyiug to my own feeling as an t.l3;erver —a ts. tal absence of self laudation, (cries cf hear, bear) -no disposition to blow hie own trumpet. (Hear.) His manner tied demeanour at ell times have been quite retiring and unobtrusive. Again. Mr. Preston has never sought to place himself on my Com mittee whe:o his own private interests were likely to come into contact wit') the question of the welfare of the com munity. We well know that in byrgcne times it has been made a chit , ga against some gentlemen engaged in the very same bu-iness as that in which Mr. Preston is occupied, that they had. when they ought not, continued to bemem bers of the Watch Committee. Nor, shall lover recollect, without feelings of pride and pleasure, hew one gentle , man, a member of this Council, M e Go frey, withdrew from th Committee when he was aware of the strength of the existence of that feeling. (Hoar.) N.w, sir, Mr. Pre ttoo has never been, as I have stated, an active political partisan. He falls very far a' o t of going the sane leug h in some matters of deep interest which I, f r one, will humbly advocate, and have humbly advocated. But, sir, he was one of those- and I wish I could say as much for myself -who were instru mental, with many others, in giving us the Municipal Rsferm Act ; an act sir, under which, during the last teelve months, you hare by law been au herhed to sit in that chair. Since the passing of that a't, the Liberal party have enjoyed about ;even years of ittl tepee in re gainiug the possession of the municipal chair. But those seven years stand, indeed, in 'a very email minority, when compared eiih the sixteen years which have been enj )yed by the opposi - e party. Nw I pu ,- , it to this Council— seeing that perhaps there is not one of us who w mid revert to the old system—whether we do n owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Pre;ton, for hiving been instrumental. wt h many others, in giving us the Minicipal Reform Act? Fcr this, and for many oth r reason-, which it is quite uanecessa-y for me to urge, for Mr. Preston holds much too h'gh a position in the estimation f society to render it. necessary, on my part, for this and for other rem° a, which recommend Mr. Preston in she most forcible mangier to our favourable consideration. I there. fore move, with all due respect—" That, being a fit and proper person, and having by length of servitude squired an honourable ti le and claim to the position of Mayer, he be elected to fill that office for the ensuing year. (Hear, hear.) Mc. STEAties : Tn rising, sir, to second the nomination of Mr. Alderman Preston, I have but little to add to the exceedingly judicious soil well-expresso,' remarks of Mr. Gladstone. I feel, however, that he and I are alike res ponsible to the Council and tae town fir submitting the name of a gentleman to occupy the chair which you, sir, are abut t, vacate and whichyou will pardon me if I presume to add my te.:tanony to that of others, and say that you have fitted wt•h eq ell urbanity, impartiality, and imparting by your condu •t during your may orality increased honour to your high offs te, and rendering it no easy task, be your succcssor who he may, to emulate, still more to surpass, the in inner in which yen have discharged the duties. (Hear, hear.) But, happily, I can 'peak with confidence of the qualifications of my friend, Mr. Preston, for I have known him for upwards of twenty years ;, and if du ing that period the exercise of unsullied mercantile and pateonal integrity, suav ty of manner, the possession of the bast of all sense,, common set se—(hear, hear)—social position, a m p le fortune hosts of friends, entitle the owner of all these claims to the high p saition of occupying the chive. of Chief Magistrate of the second town in this empire-then I say th a t Mr. Preston has every claim to that enviable position. ( [fear , hear ) And if there be add ed the fact that he is the oldest member of the Corporation, that his services, mita ble and great, extend over the period which Mr. Gladstone has stated, of 20 ears, with the solitary • breek of one year, then I s ay that his claims become irresistible. (Hear, hear.) I do hope that the Cnuneil, ) will :.ffirm the proposition of Alr. Gladstone, and will say by their votes, pawls qui offuse fold. (Row, hear.
