t, 14, 4 loam CONTEMPORARY PRESS. IZEN-r-wAtt COMMENCED.—Suoner than we expected, - hut not less certainly than we foretold, has the AGITA TION, which warred against tithes, arrayed its lines and and turned its batteries against rents. The campaign Ins begun in the very quarter where the tithe-war com menced, and the Queen's County has the honour of be ing first the field of Spoliation in both kinds, Tray, riusre, lay or clericaf—no matter which—the disaffec ted populace are ravening for other -men's estates ; and . they hold than au appropriation is as just, and perhaps as feasible, in one case as in the other. Having estab,- fished the precedent for one species of legalized plunder, they certainly have smoothed. the way tior further opera tions; and beyond all question there is no argument. va ltd for rents which was not equally good as to tithes; nor any case mach for the extinction of the tatter that is not equally - applicable to the for Mer. Of this we warned the landed proprietors of Ireland,. at a season when all seem ed: prosperous to them, and disastrous to the clergy. — We told them, unless they came forward to suppress the meetings, the revolt would soon reach their own doors ;• and we distinctly showed them that the successful attack upon clerical income would not only embolden the assault upon lay property, hut weaken its defences. Well, the day has caper. The population, headed by their priests, has demanded the downfall of rents. What will the land lords do ? Fight the battle, to be sure. But had it not been wiser and more humane to have fought the battle of the weaker party first—and thus have averted the inroad upon themselves? It is, however, too late now to cum plain or to reproach. The evil has come, and it must be resisted. The landlords must bestir themselves, and they most make the government bestir themselves. The first inquiry, however, which should be instituted into the na ture of this "predial agitation"—this agrarian conspi racy, is, what business the Roman Catholic priests have to interfere with a question so thoroughly civil and Lein portal - as the rate of rents between landlord and tenant. The tithe case, though in reality a question of the same nature, bore the appearance of a mixed case between spi ritual and temporal ; the support of religious service con trary to their own, made a plausible pretence for the ip termeddling of the Romish clergy. But the present is purely a civil transaction—a contract between layman and layman, in which it will be difficult to shew that -the eh:reit of Rome has any right of jurisdiction. In our humble opinion, this agitation is but a branch of the great popish conspiracy, which, under the soubriquet of repeal, seeks for separation. The object of every distur bance which has hitherto afflietedireland has- been to ha rass, weaken, disturb, and exterminate the protestant— that is, the .13 , itish ir:tere , t ; and this opposition to rents, forty-nine fifties of wnieh are protestant property, is the most daring exhibition of it that has yet been ventured. —Dublin Evening Mail. DUBLIN ELECTION •COMMISSION.—We write in the belief that we are read by gentlemen of honour—to all such we submit the following and latest specimen of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The exposure of his case on Monday,by striking off in a few minutes seven hundred witnesses, sworn to be in dispensable to it, alarmed him so mulch, that he was com pelled to waive his dignity for a day, and to condescend to.aßpear before the Commissioners. Et occurred to more titan person that his tone and manner were well cho • sen fci is purpose yesterday morning,—that . it being now impossible to reach the majority of his antagonists, there was nothing left for him but a grievance —and that this might be attained by judiciously insulting the com missioners, and provoking them into a wrong position. Accordingly we will rit..venture a description of that which is indescribable—his mode of returning their civil salutation after a so long an absence—he measured them with a fine indignation from the head to the toe—he turned magnificently away—he measured them once more—he gruniedhe made sounds for which We have no• types. "Only think," he exclairried, pretty audibly, at last, "of that fellow having the audacity • to salute ME ! !" The Chairman announced that he was ready to proceed with the evidence. Mr. O'Connell rose, to speak. The Chairman requested . his observations in writing, as a rule had been made by the Commissioners which prevented their receiving communications in any other way. Mr. O'Connell attacked them and their rules. He fold themsit was his determination to impeach them fur their conduCt i not only before the Committee, but another tri bunal—and NM .particularly (Mr. Commissioner. Joy).; that' they had violated their oaths ; that they had done him the grossest injustice ; that he did not- believe there' could have been found three members of the Irish Bar capable of acting as they did. :He insisted upon rending aloud for them their oath, which they had violated:—, swear that 1 will, without favour, affection, or ma lice—‘.‘ +nark," said he, with violent emphasis—"without malice." To this, and much more of similar language, the Commissioners did•not return so much as one angry word. Now, let our readers observe—lst. That this language was addressed to threegentlemen, respecting whose man ners or conduct Mr. O'Connell had had no personal know • ledge for six months. 2d. That of these three gentlemen, one was chosen by himself from a liSt of more than sixty members of the "Irish Bar." Another, first named by himself—and the third selected by himself from three names furnished by his opponents. 3d. That these three gentlemen are persons esteemed .and honoured in their profession; whose names have never yet been stained by the imputation of any dis honourable act. 4th. That these gentlemen have acted all tinough this matter under what they believe to be the solemn sanction of a n . oath. sth. That every word or act, said or done by them, touching Mr. O'Connell's case, is on record xf this mo- went fo'r the. inspection of the whole world, and more especially for the scrutiny of the committee which Mr. O'Connell boasts to be his friends. 6th. That lie uttered this language to gentlemen, whose hands he well knew to be tied up by the position in which he himself had placed two of them; and that their duty upon their oaths, and their obligations on their honour, compelled them to listen in silence to dis gusting insult, unmeasured falsehoods, and a charge against their characters—not of partiality or prejudice, but of perjury without shame, and from motives of wean malice. We submit this, without comment, to all gentlerrien and'men of honour.. • It. will be seen by the report elsewhere, that the bully ing system was again repeated this morning, and, we are sorry to say, with increased effect. The conduct adopted by the commissioners When first assailed might be considered as dignified forbearance ; but, when the insult was deliberat e ly re p ea t e d, we . confess we think they:would have better consulted their own honour and station--,gone further in the vindication of the law, and in support of the judicial character with which they are invested, had they, committed to prison the audacious re viler of theirmitherity, as theykought and would doubt less have done any other indivhlual in the empire, save and except Daniel O'Connell himself, for as gross and as deliberate a contempt of court as ever was perpetrated. Bate the game Mr. O'Connell is playing is obvious. He st es that he has not the remotest chance• of bearing down the majority now legally established against him and his colleague ; and he hopes by forcing an abrupt termination of the commission, to raise a point of law for the committee, which the merits of the case could never furnish. Thus it is with unsuccessful gamblers, who ..having lost all their money without the slightest possibility of retrieving their fortunes, blow out. the lights and hope in the cenfiision consequent on a " break up" to regain,some portion of the coin which had pre yionsly passed ft om them :—but we trust and hope that the commissioners will be-firm, decided, and consistent, The public eye is upon then, ; and they ought to feel • pride in the conscious conviction of, possessing moral courage sufficient to discharge the duties which justice demands at their hands.—Dublin Evening Mail.

A stout good. looking person, having the appearance in his outward manner of a . - gentleman, has been en-, gaged for six uninths past in time occupation of a- stone breaker at the Magdalen-yard Quarry. When he coin menced work, many persons in the neighbourhood were attracted by his genteel air; and despite his clothes, which were suited •to his employment, although more comfortable: than those generally worn by his brethren of the same craft,. they imagined they perceived the man ners of a gentle Man lurking under the disguise it had pleased him to assume. The united endeavours of im portunate individuals have been unable altogether to un ravel' the mystery ; and the following extraordinary, though vague, particulars are all which have been eli cited. His name 'is Stanley. He is, by his own state ment, a gentleman of considerable rank and opulence, and moves in the most fashionable'society when at home in England. He came to this part of the country in the disgnise of a labourer; in consequence of a bet to a great •amount having been madethat he would not work in Scotland for six months as a stone-breaker, adhere to the strict observance of the hours of labour of thathardwork ing class of labourers,' although he should not be obliged to break more stones than pleased himself, with the fur ther stipulation that he should be restricted to a certain quantity and quality of clothing. Mr. Stanley has won the bet, having appeared punctually froM day to day, at the proper woiking hours. He does not, however, ap pear to have exerted himself to increase his posse, al though he has attained considerable proficiency in the art of cleaving. whinstones, which lie executes in a man ner truly dignified and becoming; avoiding the usual rise and stoop of vulgar artists. The manners of this ex traordinary sportsman are highly polished, and his lan guage classically elegant. He speaks French and seve ral other European languages with fluency. His term of work expired on Wednesday last, being the last day of September, but he appeared on the ground until Sa turday, and only took his departure from Dundee yes terday morning. —Dundee Courier. ATROCIOUS MURDER BY A PRIEST. An atrocious crime has been committed at St. Marie, near Beaune, in the Cote d'Or. Some days ago_.the members, the head, and - part of the body• of a female, were found in the river, but the face was so much disti-, gored, that although every:inhabitant in•the village went. to view the remains, no one courd recognise the person of, the deceased. Strong circumstances fix this horrible murder on the rector of the commune, and point.out the victiM•to be a milliner from Lyons, the initial of whose name is B. On the day of the discovery one of the vil lagers met the • rector, and, informing him of it, asked „him to go and see a body which had just been taken out of the water, without stating its condition ; but the priest became greatly agitated, and replied that he could not :bear to look upon a spectacle so hideous. Though he was on his way to a funeral at an adjoining village, he • immediately returned to his house, took his cane, and, instead of going where he had intended, disappeared, and was not heard of for three weeks. His servant, on being interrogated as to his absence, said that he was gone to see his relation at Villefranche, near Lyons, and would be back in a few days. His long-continued absence led .to suspicion. Search Ivas . made P and in the rectory was found the name and address of the supposed victim, and her clothes, marked with the letter B. These suspicious circumstances were strengthened by the finding of a pair of pantaloons stained with blood. The inhabitants of the village state that a lady, calling herself the niece or cousin of the rector, and known to be a milliner at 'Lyons, where he was for a long time vicar, had come to i pass eight or ten days with him; her person was known to them, as she constantly accompanied their pastor wherever he went, but it was impossible to identify the remains found. The rector's servant could give no ac count of the visitor's departure from St. Marie, as she herself happened to be absent for several days at the time when the crime is supposed to have been perpetrat ed. Every portion of the murdered woman was found, except the abdomen, and this leads to an apprehension that this was either burned or more carefully concealed to prevent the discovery of being pregnant. A warrant was issued. for the arrest of the priest, and we learn by the Courrier de Lyons that he' was taken in that town just as he was getting into the diligence for Geneva. ORIGIN OF THE NOCTES. Mr. Willis, in his "Pencillings by the Way," thus relates the origin of the Noctes Ambrosiana?, in Black wood's Magazine, as stated to him in conversation by Professor Wilson :—" Do you know Lockhart?"No, '1 do not.' * * * have known him long. He was in Edinboro' a great while, and when he was writing Valerius we were in the habit of walking out together every morning, and when we reached a quiet spot in the country, he read to me the chapters as be wrote them. He finished it in three weeks. I heard it all thus by Piecemeal as it went on, and had much difficulty in per suading hith that it was worth publishing. He wrote it very rapidly, and thought nothing of it. We used to sup together with Blackwood, and that was the real origin of the Noctes.' At Ambrose's?" At Ambrose's'. 'But is there such a tavern, really ?" Olt, certainly. Anybody will show it you. It is a small house, kept in an out-of the-way corner of the town, by Ambrose, who is an ex cellent fellow in his way, and has had a great influx of custom in consequence of his celebrity in the Noctes. We were there one night very late, and had all been . remarkably gay and agreeable. What a pity,' said Lockhart, ',that some short-hand writer had not been here to take clown the good things that had been said at this supper.' The next day he produced a paper called Noctes Ambros-ianw, and that was the first. I continued them afterwards.' " "Speaking of passports, which are a necessary evil, invariably accompany ing all foreign excursions, brings to my recollection the following anecdotes :—A poor Gascon, who bad committed himself at Marseilles, by some imprudent bravadoes for Napoleon, wished to get out of the town before any danger happened. He got a passport, by means of twa francs and the signatures of two friends. Having shaved himself that morning, they 'lescribed - him, "beard, none ;' complexion, none.' Per haps he was not very blooming. On tire second evening a:gendarme inspected his passport. His beard hadgrown.• 'Beard, none ? said the gendarme—'you have a black beard. Complexion, none ? and you are perfectly,y - ellow. The passport is false; you must wait here for another.' In vain the Gascon protested; he was obliged to send his paper back to Marseilles, where they added, complexion, pale;' beard, black.' He was on foot. The third day he fell down, and several contusions dreadfully inflamed hiS face. 'Complexion, pale ?' said the inspector, in the evening, ',you have tire reddest face I ever saw. Nose, middling? and your nose is enormous. You have also a scar on your chin. This passport is false; send . for another.' Again the paper was sent to Marseilles; and the poor man was two months on his journey, instead of twenty days. Another time, an old pensioner returned rather late to Paris, after dining in the country. At the harrier he was asked for his admission ticket. He pulled ont of his pocket the bill of fare he had just paid, and pre sented it. The inspector put on his spectacles, and began h a to read. • Calf's head; he m I th a t i s goo d ; theyhave amused themselves in describing him. 'Pigs feet;' ha, ha! not-very polite: sheep's eat s;' 'duck's breast;' that is odd. Pass on, citizen ; • with such a description, you cannot be very dangerous.' "—Letters from Brussels. WIDOWERS AND THEIR HOUSEKEEPERS. most remarkable thing connected with old bache• lors and their housekeepers is, that their domestic sub mission and Platonic liaisons so rarely' terminate in marriage. This is a result which differs so widely from similar associations with widowers, that we have often heard it remarked, and commented upon as a singular anomaly in the relations of the sexes. But it may be easily explained. A widower has been a family man— has been in the habit of having his wants and his wishes cared for, mensti et thoro—and has acquired a necessity for female domestic companionship and equality. When therefore he has been deprived of his wife, the sorrow felt for her loss is mingled largely with the discomfort of his present solitary condition. He comes homeand his house is cheerless; he 'misses its animus, and either be comes a free liver and boon companion, or he mopes about like a tame linnet who h has escaped from its cage. His servants are unmanageable and refractory: they have lost that constant and close supervision which a wife only can bestow upon their doings, and his household economy is put all into confusion. To_amend this, hr takes to himself a housekeeper—a respectable woman, from the middle ranks of society, or one who has seen better days, and been reduced to seek her subsistence in this capacity. She comes as half companion --:-half servant, settles herself down, and puts things to rights. Now, under these cir cumstances, it is almost impossible he should avoid mar rying her; it comes quite natural—unless he has already formed a pretty close attachment elsewhere. She is, by her situation, a wife depute —and one step only is wanted to enable her to fulfil all the functions of the higher office. The shrewdness of the sex makes them quite conscious of. this ; and, as Lance Outran), in Scott's " Peveril of the Peak.," very sagely remarked, " A woman in the house has t,/ -many deuced opportunities." She stamis in the voty gap of his wishes; and thus it generally happens that a w idower's housekeeper, in the middle ranks of life, becomes a widower's wile, except, as • it has been before said, in cases where an attachment pre-exists; and in all these, as a matter of prudence, we .trould strongly exhort widowers to get married. as fast as they can, and that be fore the introduction into their domiciles of a substitute.— Constit taional Ma,zazine. The late brilliant summer bas, as tnight be expected, been productive of the greatest crop of honey that has been known tut. , many yews. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LONDON POLICE REPORT. 11 1ANSION-1 - 10pSE--MoNDA v. TDE BELPAST CASE OF SWINDLING. On Monrhy this case,'some of the particulars of which was detailt'd at the STANDARD of the 15th of September, was further investiga!ed. Goods to the amount of about .£5,000 had been fraudulently obtained from the house of Messrs. Bell, Brothers, and other houses in Belfast, by Simeonfosephi,. alias George Fre derick fiamiltutt ' • these were tran s mitt e d v i a Li ver p oo l t o Lon don, were found in the 'possession of a Mr. M. Woolf, and seized by order of the I,)rd Mayor. The parties who had been swindled out'of their property claimed the restitution of it on the ground of fraud; Mr. Woolf claimed the goods on the grounds that they came i n t o hi s possession in the ordinary course of business. Me. C. Phillips said that he appeared in behalf of the respec table inhabitants of Belfast, and the object of his application was twofold; He applied in the first place for a warrant against a person who had represented himself as Mr. George Frederick Hamilton, and in the next for the restitution of a large quantity of goods which had been obtained by fraud and by means of the most nefarious conspiracy. In the mouth of May, Hamilton arrived at Belfast, aud 'contrived to get acquainted with a per son named Bryson; whom he made an instrument, but an nu conscious one, of a most flagitious system of robbery. By Bryson, Hamilton was introduced to Mr. Bell, of whom he took a counting-house, and to whom he represented himself to be a partner in the house of Malisius Schneider and Co., of Hamburgh. Business transactions commenced, and Hamilton having paid ready money in his first dealings, obtained the con fidence of that gentleman and others in town, and finally.de camped after having got possession of nearly £5,000 worth of goods, for which he gave bills accepted by him iu the name of Malisius Schneider and Co., a firm which never existed. Mr Philips said it was quite unnecessary for him to state that these acts upon the part of Mr. Hamilton were acts of fi,rgery as completely as Übe had accepted bills in the name of an existing establishment. He then stated all the particulars of the labours of Mr. Bell in hunting after the goods from Belfast to Liver pool, and from Liverpool to London, to the house of Mi.., Woolf, and concluded a very able and argumentative speech by calling witnesses. Mr. William Bell, a Quaker, and partner with his uncle in Belfast, stated that Bryson, who was respectable, but had been unfortunate, introduced to him in May last Hamilton, who took a counting-house of him at £7.a year, and fixed up a board over it with the names " Malisius Schneider and C 0.." in which firm, resident in Hamburgh, Hamilton said he was a partner. Several money dealings to ,k place between them at first, but afterwards Hamilton said that his remittances weic sometimes delayed a few days, and his bills were taken. Hamilton told witness that the principal market of the house was the fairs of the Continent, where they disposed of large quantities at a great profit. The goods were all packed for the for e i gn neo k e t. Witness saw Hamilton write on the bill of 21 days for £l2O, produced, the name of the firm or" Malisius Schneider and C 0.," as acceptors. It became due September 1, in Belfast. flaying every reason to believe that Hamilton was a swindler, he went, deputed by the others' who had been losurs, in search of the goods. Ile found that they had b een sen t f rom B e lf as t to the house of !totter and Co., in Mersey-street, Liverpool, a shabby, ruined-looking place, with " James Rioter and Co." over the door. He could not find Hotter, but be ascertained that !totter had taken the place about the time that Hamilton arrived at Belfast, and had disappeared from Liverpool at the time Hamilton left Belfast. He found that the goods had been drawn to different stores by different carters, and that no single carter had carried two reads. 'totter was called the little Jew fellow" in the place, and was considered with suspicion.. At last witness traced the goods to Mr. Wooles warehouse, where, on mentioning the business he was upon, a person who was with Mr. Woolf started' up, and ran out, saying. " Mr. Woolf, I'll see you presently." Tbat person he believed to be the brother, who was intimate with Hamilton. at Belfast. Witness saw his goods and those of the other Merchants in Woolf's warehouse. At the suggestion of Daniel and John Forrester, the officers, ho noticed the particular marks on the'cases. A • week afterwards he saw the same cases at the warehouse of a person named Hort, but there were no marks upon them. The marks had evidently been planed off. Witness and the officers took away some of the goods from Woolf s warehouse, but left behind trout £1,500 to £2,000 worth. Upon the arrival of Mr. Stuart, another of the losers, witness went again to Mr. Woolf's ware house, but not a single yard of those goods was there; and the quantity of any kind of goods was very small indeed. Mr. Hort, when witness sent to that person's warehouse, and identi fied those cases which had been removed in the interim, gave them up at once, without attempting to keep them. The amount in value of the goods found at Hetes was from £SOO to £l,OOO. Witness afterwards went back to Belfast, and found in Hamil ton's counting-house the bills of lading of the goods to [totter and Co. Witness here produced some patterns of checks which he said Hamilton showed to him, and said he . bad got an order fur goods agreeing with them from his friends at Hamburgh. He could not state the exact number of bales of the Belfast goods missing, but he Saw in Woolf's warehouse goods to the amount of from £l,OOO to £5,00(). He had given credit himself to Hamilton for £6OO worth of goods, which he had not been paid fir; but Hamilton had paid him £3OO for goods. The amount of goods belonging to the other merchants was between £l,OOO and £5,000. Upon comparison of the bills of lading with the cases found in Woolf's warehouse it was found that the marks were all changed.' Where a 5 was the original number it was Made 15, and where the original letters were I F they w e r e turned into DE. All the hales of goods he ascertained had been taken off from Itotter's to Woolf's without delay. Witness went to Liverpool-wharf to tell the proprietor to detain six bates which he heard had been coining from Liverpool, and were part of the Belfast goods ' • and while he was th ere Mr. Woolf mi.:, peared - and claimed them. Mr.' Bates refused to deliver them up without cotsulting his attorney. Mr. Bodkin, after regretting the serious losses snstained by the Belfast merchants,begged to ask the witness whether Bry son was not the first i)ersou who told him that Hamilton was a partner in the firm of " Malisius Schneider and Co. ?" Witness.—No; Hamilton himself was the first. Bryson acted as clerk to him. Mr. Bodkin.—Bryson is not here, I believe. Pray did you ask him to come? Witness.—No; I can't recollect what I m i g ht h ave sa id to him, but he said that he was very willing to give a ny inf ormat i on he could upon the subject. I think it very likely I said we should shortly require him. 111 r. Frederick Boson, an attorney, deposed that he went to Ilar4ut ft t according to directions, to m a k e i nqu i ry concern i ng the firth. 'Malisius Schneider and Co." H e arr i ve d a t H am liurgh"b 18th of Septembe r , an d went to t h e E ng li s h con - Ii sul;by wh ,`upon his showing the Lord Mayor's signature, all facilities. were 'afforded. Witness advertised upon the subject, applied to the merchants, at the police-offices, to the postman, on the market-place, is the coffee-houses, to the mailman, who had been twenty-three years iu the employment, and examined the "Directory," and lie could find no such firm as "Malisius Schneider and C 0.," or as "Schneider and Co." - Mr. W. A James, a solicitor, proved that Simeon Josephs had been a bankrupt, and had also gone by the name of George Frederick Hamilton. Witness knew Hamilton's handwriting, and believed that in the bill for £l2O produced to be his. Mr. Bodkin.—There is not the least doubt of it. Mr. Bell, having been called again, said, in answer to ques tions from Mr. Bodkin, that he had not carefully looked through all the g oods in the possessi on o f t h e L or d M ayor, b ut h e saw goads of his own and of the other merchants, which never had been paid for. Mr. Bodkin called for dates and particulars, as indispensably necessary in a case of this kind. Mr. Hort, at his own request, was examined. He had known Mr. Woolf for many years, but had never .seen him write. Often had bills of parcels, but had never letters from him. He wished to make a remark as to the erasure of the marks on the cities which he had got .from Mr. Woolf's warehouse. He had been under treaty , for buying the whole of the cases, and as he was shipping goous to his Soo in America he directed that if those cases were sufficiently strong the old marks should be erased, and other marks put on. Witness unluckily knew Simeon Josephs, for he lost £4,000 by him about twelve years ago. He did not know whether Mr. Woolf and Josephs were or were not acquainted. Did not know that Josephs was called Hamilton, but heard that he had assumed it afterwards. After the account about the seized goods appeared in the newspapers witness directed that, his porter should keep those which he had from Mr. Woolf. On the 4th of September the cases were re ceived by him, and were to lie for examination and approval. Mr. Bell.—lt was on the 3d of September I first went' into Mr. Woolf premises. Mir. Bodkin then addressed the Lord Mayor upon the part of Mr. Woolf who,. he said, so fur from having any objection to the issue of a warrant for the apprehension of so profligate a fellow as Hamilton, wished that he night immediately be traced ont, and was anxious to aid by his purse. mid in any other way to bring him to punishment. With respect to the applicationao give up the property to the Belfast merchants, that, he con tended, could not iu law or justice be conceited, as Mr. Woolf had, as was evident front all that bad been stated, become pos sessed of the goods by a bona.fide transaction. Mr. Bodkin then denied the right of the Lord Mayor to issue a warrant, and seize upon the goods, and that he wait borne out in that opinion by the Attorney-General and Mr. Pollock. That question, would, however, be tried in another place. Mr. Woolf had been carrying on business fur eighteen years in an linim peachable manner. Ile defied the proof of any discreditable transaction (Luling that period. As to what had taken place in this matter before the goods were found in London, that was of eo sort of consequence, and there was not a tittle of evidence to prove that the goods which passed regularly from Mr. Lyons, of Liverpool, into the hands of Mr. Woolf, had not legally be come by that bona fide Uansaction the property.of the hitter: Tbeie was no ground nor any imputation of the slightest de scription, much less for that a hich had been made that Mr. Woolf. s uppled Hamilton wills the means of carrying on the imposition in. Belfast. Mr. Phillips then called Mr. Wm. Langton, who said, I am a clerk in the Post-bill Office in the Batik of England. I pro duce a request in writing for a post-bill for £5OO. I have also the bill given fur it. The request is as follows: . £5OO. " Five hundred pounds, a bank post bill, accepted in favour of Mr. Joseph C. Lyons, value received from NI: Woolf, 11. Addle-street, Wood-street. " July 28, 1835." Ido not know Mr. Woolf. This is the bill which was made out. Witness produced a bank post-bill, dated the 28th of July, 1835, made out for £S(X), in favour• of Joseph C. Lyons, fur value received of Mr. Woolf. Mr. Bodkin desired the bill and request to be handed over, and, after looking at it, admitted that it was in Mr. Woulf's writing. - - Mr. William Waller, clerk to Mr. Ashurst, the attorney, proved that he had traced this bank post-bill to have been changed at Liverpool by Mr. Lyons for notes of £3O. each, part of which were afterwards given for bills on the Irish bank, at Belfast, in f avour o f M a li s i us S c h ne id er an d C o. The clerk at the branch bank office at Liverpool stated to witness that he recollected the circumstance quite well, in consequence of Mr: Lyons not wishing to put his name on the back of the post-bill, and that there weie other occasions in which Mr. Lyons had made similar objections. • Mr. Bodkin asked whether Mr. Phillips intended to extend the application to Mr. Woolf, who was present, and ready to answer? Ile ridiculed the idea that the evidence just produced proved that Mr. Woolf had supplied money to carr y on the fraud, and de c la re d th a t . hi s client had paid Mr. Lyons, not only on that occasion with a bank post-bill, hut upon numerous Ot he r occasions. The fact had beerarequently admitted. Mr. Woolf had, he declared, offered every facility to the police officer upon the application at his office. Daniel Forrester was called, and he denied that such facility was afforded. On the contrary, Mr. Woolf, upon the arrival of Mr. Sidney, his attorney, tired to put him (Forrester) out, but it would not do. Mr. Phillips.—Did not Mr. Woolf draw a sword upon you? Wituess.-,He did; but I was not afraid thatanything would arise from that? Mt. Phillips.—But is that what you call givin g every fa cility ?. Mfr. Bodkin said that his client was certainly and most rea sonably disposed to resist the attempt upon bein g told by hi s attorney that the warrant was illegal. The goods which were removed from the premises of Mr. Woolf after the first seizure was made were removed upon the same plinciple, in order not to be subjected to a similar inconvenience rcsutting from an il legal act of the magistrate. :Jr, Phillips quoted the 7th and Bth of George IV. upon a suggestion from Mr. Holder, the chief clerk, to prove that the lord mayor was, notwitstanding all that had been said about the attorney-general and Mr. Pollock, perfectly justified in issuing the warrant. lie spoke of the high, obligations under which the commercial world was to his lordship for'the prompt and bene volent manner in which he had acted all through the case, and said that the decision of his lordship was looked for with the greatest poSsible interest in a case which every body saw was one of a very atrocious character. The Lord Mayor said that he had heard all the evidence in this case, which was of so Much importance to the merchants who bad been plundered in particular, and generally to the whole commercial body, with a great deal of attention and anxiety. He h a d, u p o n . first hearing the circumstances, decided upon an immediate issue of the warrant, and he must say that he had had no cause to regret that determination. lie was himself no lawyer, but he acted upon the advice of his chief clerk; by whose able assistance he was prevented, upen occa sions where legal knowledge was necessary, from going wrong. He was prepared to defend the course he had adopted in any place, and he rejoiced that in a case of Such enormous plunder he had thrown his official l'irotection over the plundered. He gave no opinion as to Mr. Woolf, He had givep no opinion as to that person ; but it was palpable thaVa most abominable con spiracy had been worked up agaiiiiit those who had'afplied - to him for protection and aid. He should at once grant . a warrant for the apprehension of Hamilton, but as to the goods in' ques tion, he should, acting upon the . sound advice of his chief clerk, centilitre to hold them until &jury should decide who were' best entitled to them. His lordship concluded by expressing a fer vent hope that justice would be done in the fullest measure. Mr. Phillips expressed himself fully satisfied at the decisi o n of the Lord Mayor, and the parties left the office. tpo Eoabing. (The figures denote the register burthen of the Vessels.) AFRICA.

The number of counter claims which have been lodged with the commissi oners f or th e C om p e ns a ti o n Fund, i s , w e are given to understand, exceedingly great. In Demerara, (the richest colOny,) the number is stated to'reach 280 P. In most, if not in' all the other colonies, the proportion must be still greater. By far the greater portion of these claims are known to be most iniquitous and vexatious: They have been advised and adopted by litigious people, who calciiliite thereby to extort money from just claimants ; an d by gen tl emen of th e l ong ro b e , who expected that a chancery suit, of ion„ duration, and the expense of which would be borne by the produce anti the property, would result from each. In this however, both these parties, we have been inforined by acute and competent legal authoiity, are greatly out of Their reckoning. The conipenSation fund being 4 sum of money raised and granted under a specific act of parliament, and for a specific purpose, every dispute which may arise under its distri bution is taken entirely. Out of the jurisdiction of any tribunal, either of law or equity, whet her in Great Britain or in tiCe cohinjes, andplaCed entirely under the' decision of the Privy Council. This supreme authority can alone interfere in any dispute which may arise Apia the devisi9n of the fend in question, and deter mine the party in disputed elaimS who is to r ece i ve the amount. To go into every one would be endless, and is', moreover, Unne cessary. The counter claims may be classed under three heads, namely, fair, doubtful, and frivolous. The Privy Council can. take one of each, and 'determine these when 4 ali 'the others of the same class will subthit to the decision, and thus time and expense will he saved, while the defeated party will have all the expenses to pay. If we are correct in these views of this important sub ject, and we are led, by eXtdlentlegal authority, to believe that we are, then much mischief to all the colonial interests will be prevented; and' many a knave disaPPointed.-G/usgow Courier..

Deas.—Do you think the wound has been occasioned by the stroke of a weapon ? toubt of dat.

Mr. Deas.—You do not think that it was occasioned by a stroke against the nave of the wheel? Wit.—The nave of a wheel is below my profession. (Laugh ter.)
