while in the 'meatiest of his duty.
George Robinson was on daty in Salisbury-square, Fleet-
street, yesterday morning about half-peat three o'clock,
when he met the defendant Oakley at the and of his beat.
Tits defiendant used most abusive °assuage to him. Com-
plainant said "Be careful Oakley, 1 see you have been
drinking." Defendant then uttered a very disgusting
threet, and inflicted a violent kick upon occmplainant, who
imsaediately after informed the sergeant of his conduct.
The sergeant said the affair should be inquired into when
they came of diity, and complainant than went round his
beat, but on arriving at the same point main he found the
defendant waiting for him. He resommenced abasing
complainant, and then knocked him down, and complainant
want directly to the station and reported the defendant's
conduct to the inspector.

DIVELLINGS OF THE WORKING CLASSES.

Yesterday, a meeting of this society was held at
the Vestry-mom, St. James's, Westminster, the Hon. F.
Dyng in the chair. The object for which the meeting was
ailed was to consider the propriety of dissolving the society
and transferring its property and buildings to some other
society capable of carrying out as nearly as possible the
principles and intentions of this association. A committee
was appointed to consider these subjects, and their report
was laid before the meeting, from which it appeared that
the receipts of he association up to December 1853,amounted
to 3,9721. 13s. 104., and the disbursemtntv to 3,9411. Va. 2d.,
leaving a balance of 311.95. 7d. There was also an unsettled
account of 721. 16s. 3d.

The report recommended the adoption sf the proposal of
the Metropolitan Assoeiatioo for Improving the Dwell.
loge of the Working Clams," the directors of which
society proposed to complete the buildings in New-street,—
the time for completion being extended to 18 months—
and the association being free from any contracts other
than those contained in the lease. These buildings were
intended to accommodate 64 families, btr the contractor
. .

having failed, no funds remained to carry. on the works to'
completion. Mr. S. C. Denison having proposed the adop-
tion of the report, the motion was seconded by Mr. G. F.
Smith, who observed that the real difficulty the society had
to contend with was the law of partnership, which made all
responsible for the imprudence of some. But it was some
satisfaction to know that the objects they had its view would
be carried out by another society, and that improved an-
oommodation would be provided for 61 fimilles. Some
discussion totk place whether it would not be advisable to
wait for the return of Lord Ingestre, who took a promi-
nent part in the formation of the society, and whose arrival
in this country from America is shortly expected. A
motion to this effect was put and negatived, and the report
was received and adopted. Mr. Allen then moved that ar-
rangements be entered into with the Metropolitan Associa•
lion for transferring the property and buildings of this 1.1.).

thanks to the officers of the society.

have now all been dared off.

For of improvement in the
demand, for although no actual transactions are reported
this week, still there is evidently rather more inquiry for
the article, and purchases could not now be made on as
good ternss as of late.
The Faun market continues much depressed.

COTTON.—lavzurooi, Deo. I6.—The most striking
feature of our cotton market is its uniform steadiness;
scarcely any change whatever having taken place for the
last six weeks, and none calling for an alteration in the
scabs of quotations. The oaly exception is that of Sea
Islands, to which we drew attention last week. It will be
observed that the comparative moderate price of the ordi-
nary and mammon qualities, both of Americans and Surat.,
has drawn the attention of speculators to those descriptions,
and the result has been that both those kinds are a little
more appreciated, and less urgently pressed on the market
for sale. Every other kind and quality, including Egyp-
tians, Brasile, the middling and better qualities of Ameri-
cans and Sunni, are just as before, Egypti►ns being still
heavy at the quotations.

WOOL.—Lnws, Dac. 16.—There has bees a fair busi-
ness done in deep grown English clothing wools this week,
and prices are firm at last week's rates. In other wools we
do not quote any alteration.

LACE AND HOSlERY.—Novmenfax TRADE.—We
have not much alteration to report from last week. The
lace trade is at the peewit moment quite as healthy as it
ever is at this particular season; a goad number of orders
still remain on hand ; these keep the manufacturers fully
employed, especially in producing goods of tke common
class. Great preparations, however, are also making f-r the
spring trade, particularly in the white silk department,
which is expected to prove unusually active. In the black
silk branches then continues to be for the present very
little doing; but it is sanguinely expected that this bane h
also will experienos a material improvement in the ensuing
season. A good deal of business has been transacted in the
curtain nude ; Saxony edgings remain very dual and are
but little inquired after. The greater number of American
purchasers have now left for their own country—the re.
minder it is expected will quit us early in the coming year.
The lace manufacturers entertain some hopes that a farther
reduction in the Ilia of cotton will s►aetly occur, the lugs

BRUSSELS, WrvxmAy,
It is asserted in a well informed quarter that the
French government, which had placed full confi-
dence in the declaration of the Russian Ambassador
in Vienna, that the Russian army and fleet would
not act in any way on the offensive, is so indignant
at its attack on a portion of the Turkish fleet at
Sinope, that it has sent an energetic note on the
subject to the cabinet of St. James's.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1853.

IN RI ARILLHAN NORTH LTRI.

This insolvent, who had been a grocer at Hanford,
appeared to receive judgment. Mr. Cooke opposed for the
British Mutual Loan !wistaria Society, clue 37, and Mr.
Dowse supported.
It appeared that the insolvent was joint security with a
person named Sion for one Perry, an attorney's clerk at
Bamford (who had lately petitioned the court), for 1001.
The complaint was that the insolvent bad contracted a debt
without reasonable expectation of payment.
The Chief CollllllilliOlter considered that the insolvent
had traded, in being surety for other persona, end was not
• person to be discharged without a judgment. His Honour
gave a judgment of seven months from the vesting order,
for contracting a debt with the opposing creditors without
reasonable expectations of payment.

IN TUE MATTO& OF JADES TII031•11 ILICEARDION.

This insolvent. who was s clothier is Church-street,
Bethnal-green, tradiag as " Richardson sad C 0.," was op-
posed by Mr. Cooke for Masan. Barber cod Evans,
woollen warehousemen, Ort sham-street. Air. Bargood sup-

ported.
Mr. Cooke said he appeared on the part of the Commer-
cial Credit Mutual Assurance Society, of which the op-
posing creditors were members.
The case occupied the mart till a late hoer. The in-
solvent compoucded in Ostabor last year. In Jely lest, he
got credit with the omelet sealitess, sod now owed them
Just upon 31i0!. He got goods sad pledged them, some on
the very day oa which they were obtained of Messrs.
Barber and Evans. He said Messrs. Basher and Evans
were reckless in giving him credit. It wee known in the
trade that he had compounded, and they made no inquiry.
He was arrested by his sister-in-law, Miss Griffiths, in •
friet.d.y manner, to give up his property, which in the
whole he considered worth more than 40A He had pledged
to meet bill,.

Mr. Evans, one of the partneri, woo ozonised, sad the
traveller Jenkins. . . . .

Mr. Evans said he was not aware that the insolvent was
other this solvent, sad Jenkins stated that he did not
know of the composition.
The insolvent stated that ',akins know of his oompo-
sitioa.

Mr. Cooke said he appeared for an excellent society,
and they had brought tlth ease before the public. It
was a cue of fraud in getting goods and pledging them.
Mr. Ssrgood insisted that due caution had not been
exercised by the oppaing creditors, before they allowed
the insolvent to have such large supplies of goods.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips gave his opinion after
six o'clock. He considered that Mr. Evans lad been in-
cautious in giving credit. The insolvent had taken advan-
tage of it, but it was no excuse to him He believed that
after the first goods, the insolvent had no intention of pay-
ing. This mason important case to the Uediag immunity.
The judgment would be six calendar meths' from the vest-
ing order.

SCOTTISH "GRIEVANCES."

An immense gathering of the Association for the
Vindication of Scottish Rights, took place on Thursday
night, in the City -hall, Glaigow. It was calculated that up-
wards of 3,000 persons were present. Mr. W. W. Warsore,
the senior bailie, occupied the chair. A great number of
lemma of apology were read, amongst others one from the
Duke of Montrose, who expressed himself in terms of warm
sympathy for the objects of the association. The first
resolution was moved by the Earl of Eglinton,
who went through the topics commonly insisted on
at such assemblies. The noble earl's most telling
point seems to have been an allusion to msg.
nificent edifices as post-offices elsewhere" whereat
the whole audience roes and cheered tumultuously. The
resolution declared that the Treaty of Colon recognised,
the supremacy, asserted the individuality, and provided for
the preservation of the national laws and institutions of
Scotland ; that any attempt to subvert or place those insti-
tutions under English control, and, on the pretence of a
centralising economy, to deprive her of the benefit of local
action, was an infraction of the true spirit of the treaty, and
injurious to her welfare. This was seconded and carried by
acclamation. Professor Aytoun next proposed a resolution,
complaining that in direct violation of the spiels of the
Treaty of the Union, the office of Secretary of State
for Scotland, the Scottish Boards of Customs, and
Excise, and other branches of the Scottish local ad-
ministration, had been abolished sr placed under Eng-
I lish contriil, and asserting that Scotland was entitled
to claim the restorotion of the office and boards referred to.
This was slut *creed to. Mr. Dove next moved a resolu-
tion to the effect that Scotland was inadequately represented
in the House of Cowmen,. This bevelst, been carried, Mr.
Millie Cochrane called on the meeting to declare the Mail

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK.

The English stock market to-day has ehewn more
steadiness of character. Consols opened 94/ to 1, ex
div. for the 18th January, as they closed yesterday,
and after being temporarily:supported at an advance
of 1 per cent., have since fallen back again to the
first price of the morning. Business is very restricted.
The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in
at 94$ to 94/ ; the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
at 961 to 96/ ; Exchequer Bills, at 3s. to 65. prem.;
and India Bonds, at par.
In the foreign stock market very few bargains
have taken place. The chief feature is in Peruvian,

THE BRAZIL MAILS.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

The Great Western arrived at Southampton this
morning. Her data are : Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 15;
Buenos Ayres, Nov. 1. In Rio the national bank
had been established, and the fifteen directors chosen;
amongst them were Mr. George Grave, an English-
man, and Mr. Emery, a Frenchman. All the rest
were Portuguese at Brazilians.
The Pernambucana, one of the Teasels of the Bra-
zilian Steam Packet Company, was wrecked near
St. Katherine's on Oot.ll, and upwards of4o passen-
gers were drowned. Those who were saved were
were indebted for their lives to a black sailor, who
performed unparalleled deeds of heroism. The
shipwrecked paimengers were brought to Rio in a
steamer, and a large sum was subscribed to assist
them, the Emperor and Empress of Brazil heading
the list. A statue of the black sailor is to be placed
on the Exchange, and his portrait sent to England.
From Monte Video we learn that, through the va-
cillating conduct of the Brazilian minister, the Colo-
rado', with Pacheo at their head, had returned to
power, and Gero hai taken refuge on board a French
hip of war.
At Buenos Ayres Badia had been executed for po-
litical offences in 1840. Other prisoners were to be
brought to triaL
Exchange on London at Rio, 271 to 27!.
From the Argentine Republic there is little news
of interest. At Buenos Ayres business was dull.
The new ministry has net yet announced any de-
finite programme of policy.
The highest rate of Exchange on England during
the week has been 68s. 6d. per ounce ; the lowest, 68'.

posed, would consist of five vessels of 1,000 horse-
power each, with two departures per month. The
West India and Mexican line would consist of six
vessels of 800 horse-power each, besides five
smaller boats for the branch services. The
departures are to take place twice a month,
the destination being Martinique, Santa Martha, or
Carthagena and Cliagres, whilst the branch service
would include Guadeloupe, Porto Itico, St. Domingo,
Santiago de Cuba, Havannah, Vera Cruz, New
Orleans, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad, Demerara,
Surinam, and Cayenne. The departures on ;the
Brazil line are also to be two per month; five ves-
sels being proposed to be employed. 'f he chief ser-
vice would be between Cherbourg and Lisbon, Ma-
deira, Goree, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Rio Janeiro,
with branches to Monte Video and Buenos Ayres.

APPOINTMENTS.

The Earl of Aberdeen has appointed to be his
Private Secretaries, the lion. A. Gordon and Mr. J. R
Cole (of the Treuury) —The Lord Chancellor has appointed
Mr. W. C. S. Rice, barrister-at-law, to be his Chief Sccre-
tary.—Lor I John Rune,' hes appointed Mr. Arthur
Russell as his Private Secretary; and Mr. F. W. H.
Cavendish (of the Foreign Office), Precis Writer.—Lord
Palmerston has appointed Mr. R. W. Grey (late M.P.
for Tynemouth), his lordship's Private Secretary at the
Home Ottice.—Mr. W. F. Higgins is acting es Private
Secretary to the Duke of Newcastle, but will permanently
continue to act for Mr. F. Peel, when the Chief Secretary
shall make another selection.—Sir James Graham has
appointed Capt. Henry O'Brien to be his Private Seers•
tary, at the Admiralty.—Sir William Moleaworth has
selected Mr. Thonaborrow, of the °thee of Works and
Buildings, to be his Official Private Secretary.—The
Hon. F. C. Lswley (M.P. for Beverley), is acting
as Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
who has not yet selected his official private secretary for
the Treasury.

PARLIAMENTARY PARTIES.—The government of
Lord Aberdeen will have a good majority in the House of
Lords, including the whole bench of bishop.,, without, we
believe, a single exception. In the House of Commons,
also, the adhesions are coming in, day by day, from the
" other side." Between 40 and .50 of the dispersed Derby-
ices, representing town constituencies, and some from the
counties toe, have already fallen away from an allegiance
that has brought no benefit to the " interests " which they
fondly expected to serve. Having stood together so long as
party honour required the sacrifice, they now feel them-
selves at liberty to judge of men and measures, untram-
melled by fanciful and unsubstantial party obligatiosi•—•

OXFORD CITY.

Mr. Cardwell and his friends finished their canvass
of this City on Saturday evening, cud a most successful one
it had been. The extreme party fi diug that neither Mr.
Corbet nor Lord Duncan would oppose, to use the words of
his lordship, "so good a man as Mr. Cardwell," have pru-
dently relinquished all idea of opposition to the right hon.
gentleman. The following address was issued on Friday
evening:
' " To the Electors of the City of Oxford.—Gentlemen,—
I have the sat sfactiun of acquainting you, not only that
I have met with the greatest encouragement in my
canvass, so far es it has gone, but that I have every reason
to believe that uo opposition will be offered to my election.

My cordial thanks are due to:all those of every clam of
opinion whose kindness has contributed to this most desira-
ble result. Tuesday next has been fixed for the elstton,
■nd 1 shall wait anon as many of the citizens as the inter-
val will permit.-1 have the honour t 3 remain, Itentlemen,
your most obedient and faithful servant, EDWARD CAlill-
WELL.—Star Hotel, Dee. 31, 16,12.'•

BRIGHTON.
Lord Alfred Hervey, 8011 of the Marquis of BrisAol,
has addressed his friend, in strong t"rms in favour of the
new government. Mr. Trelawny, late M P. for Tavistock,
and the unsuccessful candidate at the last Brighton eleet.on,
who had been invited by the radical, of Brighton to oppose
the re-election of Lord Alfred Hervey, ha.- published au ad-
dress, in which he states that Lord Allred having adopted
the course which he himself would have taken under the
circumstances, he cannot, however desirous of the bun ins
of repr.aenting the liberals of Brighton, r ppase his ',Gra-
ship's-. return. This being the case, Lord Allred 'sill walk
over the course.

TUSCANY.

A Florence letter of the 22nd, in the Mediterraneo
of Genoa, states that after the failure of the adjudi-
cation of one million of renk 3 per cent., a London
house had offered the Tuscan government to take all
the 3 millions rente at 05 per cent., which is the go-
vernment price, but that the latter has refused, as it
only wants 20 millions of francs for the present. It
is rumoured at Florence that a company of bankers
has been formed for the purpose of taking the whole
offered by the government at 65.

ROME, DEC. 24.
The oondition of Edward Murray, in his new pri-
son at Palliano, may be inferred from the following
letter, sent by him to his mother, and duly received,
alter having been submitted to the inspection of the
prison authorities :
Dear Mother,—You will already have beard where I now
am. I intreat you not to afflict yourself, but to take
courage, as I do, although confined in this place of pain
and grief. The only comfort that I can feel is my suffer-
ing, will be to hear that you support this misfortune with
courage, and that you are well in health. If you take it to
heart you will only shorten your owe existence, which you
may imagine would be:a terrible blow to me. Hays scare,
therefore. Recollect that I can write to you every fort-
night, and you can answer me also, but beware not. to '
speak to me of politica, or of my trial, otherwise your letters
Iwould not reach me, as they are subjected to the most rigo-
rous inspection. Having mentioned thee much, I warmly
implore you to find mesas of sending me as soon as possible
d mattress and two peirof sheets (as here only a thin pelisses
anti a coverlet are furnished to the prisoners), and also a
lied• money for daily nourishment, as I cannot absolutely
exist, particularly in my present state of health, on the
prison allowance, which is • bacon soup, two rolls, and
balf.a-pint of Win,. Do not cease to stimulate those wham
duty it is to amei2orate, in some degree, my condition in
this place, which is at present not too happy. I have
nothing more to add at peisent,bot embracing you tenderly,
I implore your matirnal beifediction, and am,
EDWARD MURRAY.

Up to this time (Saturday evening) nothing has

of aay opposition to his lordship's return.—Observer.

WOLVERHAMPVON.

Mr. Villiers has issued the following address to
the electors of this borough:" Gentlemen—Her Majesty
having been graciously pleased to appoint me Judge Ad-
vocate General, my seat in parliament has become vacant ;
and I have now again to submit myself to your judgment
for re-election. In accepting this office, and joining the
administration that has just been formed, I have done
nothing, I believe, to forfeit the confidence which you have
reposed in me for so many years. It is act for any personal
advantage to myself that I have taker. this appointment,
neither is it necessary in consequence that I should com-
promise the political principles which I have so long en-
tertained. I consider, however, that the nobleman
whom her Majesty has lately selected to form
the government deserves the respect of the free trade
party. He is one of tke very sincere converts which that
cause has acquired of late years. As a member of the late
S.r Robert Peel's Cabinet, ho was the foremost in support
of the " wise, just, and beneficial " measure by which the
odious corn law was repealed ; and it was especially by his
enlightened advice that the trade in food was Totally and
at once set free. The Earl of Aberdeen is therefore entitled
to the esteem of those who connect the present welfare and
contentment of the people with the removal of that most
mischievous restriction on the commerce of the country.
The speech he has lately, delivered in the House of 'Ards
offers farther groomd of hope to the fries Is of progress and
rationsl reform; while the liberal party, generally, have
reason to be satisfied with the coalition be has formed with
Lord John Russell, whose recent address to the citizens of
London is in full accordance with all the great princiii.es of
liberty which he advocated in the best days of his parlia-
mentary career. I thought, therefore, that I ought not to
refuse, when requested, to join a government which both
professes the desire and possesses the power of advancing
the public good; as, so to refuse, would be to exhibit a
mistrust which I did not feel. Should the present ministers,
however, fail to fulfil the promises they have now made, or
to realise the just expectations of the people, I trust to your
past experience of my conduct fur believing that I shall
cease to hold office among them.—lntending iu a few days
personally to pay my respects to you, 1 reru..in, gentlemen,
year faithhil and obedient servant,
Jan. 1, 15d3. CII•RLIS rELIIAM VILLIER,
