MEETING AT BOLTON.

On Monday last a public meeting was held in the
Temperance liar., Little Bolton, on the subject of parlia-
mentary and financial reform. The spacious hall was
crowded on the occasion ; and at half-past seven o'clock, Mr.
Heywood, Mr. Winder, Mr. Crock, Mr. John Dean, Mr.
Stockdale, and other gentlemen, escorted Mr. Doom Thomp-
son to the platform, amidst loud and general sheens'. Mr.
Heywood was celled to the chair.
Mr. THOMASSON said he had been requested to initiate
the balsas of the evening by proposing the following reso-
lution :
" That it is the deliberate opinion of this meeting,that the
House of Commons, es at present constituted, does not fully
and fairly represent the wants and wishes ..of the British
people, and that a reform in that house, in accordance with
the principles of the National Parliamentary and Financial
Reform Association, has become absolutely necessary for the
good government of the country; a thorough revision of
the present unjust system of taxation ; and a more rigid eco-
nomy in the expenditure of public money."

After some remarks Mr. THOXAISON concluded by say-
ing that he came forward to join the National Parliamentary
and Financial Refine Association, in the hope the tit would
be the means of obtaining the franchise for those who were
sejastly deprived of it.
Mr. WINDER seconded the motion.
Mr. 0. THOMPSON, M.P., on 'rising to address the
amtiag, was received with lend and continued cheering.
lie commenced by observing that be regretted exceedingly
to find that, on the present occasion, he was the only one
present to represent the National Reform Association.
With regard to the bosinses of the meeting, he mast say
that be looked upon the House of Common, as a gross
usurpation. They had no more right to make laws for the
government of this county than would a body of gentlemen
assembled is Timbuotoo. The House of Commons
should be the peoples house ; but it waa so each
thing. After some remarks respecting the divisions in the
House of Commons on the ballot, financial reform, &c., the
honourable gentleman referred to the condition of our
colosies, and said that If the people of England should
sesame the same attitude as the oolmisu of the Cape, the
government would grant them the charter to-morrow. To
the disaffected colonists, Lord John proposed to extend
political privileges ; but he stated to the people of England
because they were quiet, that it was Oct his intention to
grant any measure of parliamentary reform. Would they
be satisfied, on the mother mil, with • less measure of
/mutual freedom than was granted to Canada or any
other colony ? (No.) That was right ; stick to that. He
doubted the sincerity of any man who professed to be • friend
of the people, but did not come out boldly as an 'deo.
cite of an extension of the enirrer. The honourable
gentleman concluded • speech which occupied two
kolas in the delivery, by exhorting reformers to lay aside
all minor differences, and unite cordially in supporting
this great movement for the enfranchisement of the
people.
- Mr. JAMES PARKINSON moved the second rm.
lotion

That this meeting, approving of the policy and plans of
the National Reform Aunciation, pledges itself to sustain
it by its eontributions to the 10.00 W., and by every other
peaceable and constitutional means; and that a committee
be appointed to carry out the resolution, consisting of
Messrs. R. Heywood, J. Crook, T. Thomason, R. Stock-
dale, J. Dean, J. Winder, J. Esalsm, J. Parkinson, G.
Dutton, P. Martin, J. Bell, Thomas Wood, and N. Wilson,
with power to add to their number."
Mr. R. lITOCIEDALB seconded the resolution, and it
was carried unanimously.
It having been arranged that members should be en-
rolled into the National Reform Association after the
business was over, a number of persons availed themselve
of the opportunity.

THE ALLEGED SEDUCTION OF WAGES.

=OM OVA 00/131ISPONDINT.
The Morning Poses assertion that the wages of the
operatives in this district had hllen 12j per cent., as
a coasequenos of free trade (or u a consequence of
anything), was certainly a most audacious falsehood.
Bine* my previous litter on this subject, I have ex-
tended my inquiries not only to all the various
branches of the oaten trade in Manchester, but to
towns and villages essay mfles around. There has not
In every case been an advance certainly, bet in no in-
stance have I yet heard ofa decline in wages for tbe last
two year.; whilst it Is a remarkable fact that in
hand-loom weaving end fustian cutting—the branches
which for many years have been most depreesed—the
workpeople can warmly be found in suMment numbers
to complete orders °ahead, and it would be absolutely
idle to attempt to lower their wages. Generally
'peeking the bands demand an advance, and the
instances are few in which they do not get it. The
producers of heavy descriptions of power-loom cloth
certainly could not afford in the present state of the
market to advance wages. The salesman of a Man-
chester house told me yesterday, that he had just sold
a quantity of heavy domestics at ed. per lb., the yarn
in which, could the piece have been unwoven, would
'have fetched 9d. But in lighter goods, especially
such as muslin', where the consumption of cotton is
comparatively small—or mousellir e-de-laines, where
worsted as well as cotton enters _ into the oon-_

sampbon of raw material the fabrics of
these kinds produced by hand-loom weavers are
obtained only at full prices or at an advance. I waited
upon the managing partner of a very extensive firm,
who employ about 3,000 hand-loom weavers upon
muslin. These work people are spread over nearly
the whole of this district, and the gentleman said,
" We are paying higher prime for almost all kinds of
weaving; whenever we wish to put out fresh warps
the weavers require an advance. In many cases the
hands will go on weaving at the old rates, where
there is no change in the description of goods, but
if we wish to make any change in the work, how-
ever alight, the weaver seises upon it as a pretext for
asking some little advance of prioe." This gentleman
said the hand-loom weavers in all the districts with
•

the shop scores running in my head, as they used to
do." Another shopkeeper was able to refer to books,
showing some of the old scores. It was the score of a
!hinny of eight or nine persons, four of whom were
workers in the factory, and, receiving their wages
once in three weeks, discharged their shop-bill at the
end of each of these periods. The shop-keeper gave
sea list of provisions from an entry of this kind to
the family in the beginning of 1848, and contrasting
the prime which groceries and provisions of the same
quithty would cost at the highest prices they have
attained within the last few years (that is before the
alteration of tariffs by Sir Robert Peel, and the sub-
sequent repeal of the corn laws) with tho prices they
would be supplied at now in the same shop, there was
the following result:

Potatoes, 8011 s. 0 4 3 .... 0 9

LI 2 4 £0 13 51
It is almost needle,/ to remark that the difference
in the price of potatoes is not the result of legislative
measures, but the consequence of a more successful
cultivation of this valuable esculent since the first
great failure of the crop, in 1846. Nor I.as there
been any change with regard to tea ; I have retained
this item of the bill, along with that of coffee, to show
how the duties operate to limit the consumption in
such a family as this. It may be further remarked,
too, that this is by ao means given as the
whole consumption of such a family in the
ordinary household necessaries for three weeks; it is
about the total quantity of the articles mentioned;
but oatmeal enters very largely into the consumption
of people in this clue of life, and that, with some
other articles, has been omitted, because there is
little or no change of price. The list of articles hero
given, however (with the reduction in fleahmest),
will be sufficient to show that, independent of the
money rate of wages of the working classes, the re-
duction of price in provisions and other household
necessaries, from legislative and other causes, is of
great importance to them; and how utterly worthless
are the assertions of the Post.
At Stockport there has been neither rise nor fall
of wages generally ; the whole of the masters of that
extensive manufacturing town are governed by a list
of prices arranged with the trades union at the end
of 1847. It bears date, "January 1848," and regu-
lates the prices paid for every description of spinning
and weaving, and in all the pro:esses iecideotal to
these. In the beat mills, however, the workpeople
have the advantage of earning the same money in less
time. Amongst others, I visited one of the very largest
of these concerns. It is one in which both spinning and
weaving are carried on. They produce chiefly the
lighter descriptions of cotton fabrics, sui•able to the
Indian market, and employ nearly 2,000 people. A
list of their workpeople, with the average of their
wages, taken on the 3rd January last, was laid before
me. This applied to one of their miles only, in which
are employed 987 persons. Of these the females em-
ployed in the various branches were: Spinning de-
partment, 70 carders, 34 throttle spinners, and 104 in
mule spinning; weaving department, 68 in wind-
ing and warping, 6 as dressers and drawers,
249 as weavers, and 2 in the cloth ware-
house. The males employed in the various
branches were: spinning department, 9 overloekers,
13 blowers, 28 carders, 18 throetle spinners, and 133
mule spinners; weaving department, 19 as over-
lookers, 23 as dressers and drawers, 235 t 1.3 weavers,
and 12 in the warehouse. The totals give 554 males,
and 433 females; and of both sexes a very large pro-
portion are mere children ; yet the average earnings
of the whole were 10e. 11d. each at one mill, and
the remaining 969 men, women. and children em-
ployed at their other works averaged lye. I
each per week. By means of relays they run
eleven hours per day, and the managing partner
stated that by Improvements in the machinery, and
other facilities given to the workpeople, they turn off
as much work, and earn as mach money, in these
eleven hours, as they did before the Factory Bill come
into operation in twelve.
Any inquiries with reference to the condition of
operatives in Bolton, another of our largc-t mar.ufac-
taring towns, I felt certain must be favourable, be-
cause it occurred to me that at a meeting of opera-
tives held in Manchester (about the time the
present speculations in cotton began to ope-
rate as a check upon some branches of the
trade), to consider the propriety of demanding
an advance of wages, it was alleged by one of the
delegates in favour of the proposition that the opera-
tives in Bolton and its neighbourhood had already
received an advance of ten per cent. The statement
of an intelligent manufacturer in that neighbourhood
was as follows: "The working classes are earning
mote with us, for the same amount of labour, than
they have dene these twelve years. They are
not receiving quite so much for ten hours as
they did in 1847 for twelve hours, but very
nearly as much." He continued : " 1 should
not say that free trade has proved a
remedy for every evil under which the trading classes
labour. Cheap corn would not be a remedy for dear
cotton ; and it does happen that where the raw mate-
rial forms a large item in the cost of production,
manufacturers are much crippled. Some of them
have been compelled to work short tim , and their
operatives suffer, as compared with the hands in other
mills, from that cause ; but that is a matter that has
reference solely to the raw material of our manu-
factures. The scarcity and dearness of the raw
material may be quoted as a substantial fact,
proving the revival of trade, for even with a short
crop of cotton in 1847 the mills were supplied with
more than they consumed, and the warehouses of ma-
nufacturers, merchants, and commission agents were
crowded with goods to the ceiling for which there was
no market to be found at home or abroad. Now, we
have no stocks in first hands. We have since had
greatly increased supplies of cotton, though inade-
quate still to our means of consumption, and cotton
is now selling at higher rates than with a short crop,
the natural result of an increased demand tor British
manufactures; and thus we have it established by
the increased consumption of cotton that there has
been greatl, increased employment for the labouring
arms& Hand-loom weavers, I believe, were never
so mares as they have been within the last few
months; and, with the reduced price of provisions,
they have rarely been so well off as they now are.
I believe that more women and children have been
kept at home recently, attending to household duties,
which is another indication of the improved condition
of our operatives. The department of cotton machine
making is dull and heavy, because, with the scarcity
of cotton, there is no great inducement to extend the
means of production ; though in Bolton we have four
or five mills in the coarse of erection, with the view
of eupplyirg the manufactures in demand for the
markets of the United States of America."

" Yet," said he, " parliament would have laughed at
an application for protection. My hands work by piece;
they include both spinners and weavers, and before
the reduction to ten hours, we turned off 3,000 pieces
per week. By act of parliament we were reduced to
the production of 2,500 pieces, yet, th. ugh the work-
men in general are paid by the piece, a great r ortion
of our expenses are fixed expenses, cad cannot be
reduced. These include the hire of mechanics, the
oiling of machinery (which must still be done twice
a day), rent and taxes, making altogether 771. per
week. The calculations of my establishment
had been made on the faith of being able
to continue producing three thousand pieces
per week, and consequently the act of parliament
interfered very materially with profits; but I set to
work, and by the improvement of machinery, by in-
creasing the driving power of my engine to an extent
as far as was consistent with the saf ty of boilers,
have as nearly as I could repaired the loss. IVe run

is that we see now nearly turning out the same quan-

amount of wages, but in fewer hours.' He turned to
his wage books and pointed out the entries in proof
of this usertion.

which he was acquainted were well employed; indeed,
in their own firm they had not been ab!e to get looms
sufficient, and had been endeavouring to contract with
smaller houses in the direction of Bolton, Blackburn,
and Preston. He read me letters from several of

these parties which had jut come to hand, and the
writers of all stattd that hand-loom weavers could

not now be induced to take new warps without an
advance of prices. These letters enclosed new lists of
prices, and the words accompanying one of them I
committed to writing u it wu read : " We are sorry
we cannot execute orders under theme circum-
stances at last price; we find we have to give
a little advance to the weavers, and shall be
happy to execute your order with that advance."
A note from the gentleman who furnished this infor-
mation adds : " Wages, paid 12 months ago, le. 9d.
per piece ; 6 months ago, 2s. ; now, 2s. 3d. Here
you have the wages paid for a class of low goods of
which a large quantity is made. I think we are pay-
ing an advance of wages upon three-fourths of the
goods we make—varrng from sto 30 per cent." At
anotner large house,. in the mouseelline-de-lain trade,
and the most extensive manufacturers of fancy goods
in the kingdom, whose weavers reside at Colne, and
are spread over the not thorn part of L in-
oashire and the borders of Yorkshire, the
principal of the establishment took down
hie books, and showed by references to them, and to
vouchers from the weavers themselves, that the ad-

vanes paid were cosslderable. On one kind of cloth
he had paid on the 9th Feb., 1848, for weaving,
Is. 71d. per cut ; and on exactly the same description
of cloth in Feb. 1850 he had paid 2s. per cut. On
another description, Feb. 9,1848, he had paid Is. 9(1.•,
and for the same work in Feb. 1850, he had paid
2s. 3d. These were mestizoes taken at random,
and by no means selected cases. An able-bodied
weaver will do a warp per week, or six pieces of this
cloth ; and though the earnings of such a man would
by no means be equal to those of good factory hands
in towns, yet these people, working at their own
cottages in country villages, and preferring a rural
life, are at all events comparatively wellloff. Instead
of a reduction of 12/ per cent., as asserted by the
Morning Post, there is an advance of double
that amount in these cases; and those who recollect
to what a wretched condition handloom weavers
were reduced for want of work, and from lower
wages in 1842, and several subsequent years, must
feel thlit their position is now very greatly improved.
The same gentleman remarked that at Christmas it
was an observation frequently addressed to him at
Colne, how much greater was the stock of flesh meat
land other provisions suitable to that festive season
laid in by the butchers and shopkeepers, and cleared
off by the working classes, than in any former year
almost within memory. The position of the weavers
in that locality, independent of their money-rate of
wages, was thought to be better than at any period
within the last 20 years. The same fact applies to
fustian cutters and dyers. The dyers have succeeded
in almost every establishment in this neighbourhood,
within the last year, in obtaining an advance of
wages. And a house employing fustian cutters resident
is Manchester, Royton, Warrington, Lymm,
sad adjacent districts, assured me they were paying
larger wages than they had for some years past.
With regard to calico printers, my inquiries have
Leaded to the same result. The principal of one es-
tablishment (whose name will be almost recognised if
I lay it has become so celebrated as to be almost
synonymous with "fast colours ") informed me that
they paid exactly the same prices as they had done'
for the last forty years. This is a fact of more than
ordinary value for the Morning Post, inasmuch as it
shows that whilst the removal of the corn laws has
act reduced wages in this instance, neither had the
imposition of those laws the effect of raising them.
Printers, however, both of cotton and silk goods,
are now well employed, and the better skilled
workmen in many oases are earning much better
wages than they were a year or two ago. A few
days mince I visited Middleton, where there is one
of she lariat print works in these districts, and the
accounts I received of the state of the population of
that town was most satisfactory. Middleton and the
adjoining township of Tonge have an industrial po-
ation of something like 13,000 people. They
were once celebrated for cotton handloom weaving
ealy;_but 30 or 40 years ago some silk-weavers set-
tled in the neighbourhood, and this description of
manufacture has gradually superseded, and almost
' driven the other away. With the aid of
Frenchmen who have been brought over, great
improvements have been introduced ; the jac-
quard loom is in great request, and with the
aid of patterns printed upon the warps, fabrics are
produced which are now commanding the best mar-
kets and acquiring much celebrity for the neigh-
bourhood. I was told that the hand-loom weavers
here never were so busy as now, and that masters
have a difficulty in getting a sufficient number of
workpeople. Many new
.patterns are in course of
production, and new descriptions of fabric, at which
the hands are getting good wages generally, and
sew of them even high wages. For instance, whilst
on commoner descriptions of work weavers are earning
from 10e. to 125., others, with more skill and a dif-
ferent description of work, are receiving from 20a. to
30s. per week. " Wages are fully equal to what they
have ever been here, both in cotton and silk goods,'
said one of my informants, "and in some cases
better. Though the nominal amount of their wages
is small compared with the earnings of artisans in
such towns as Manchester, they succeed, in times like
these, when employment is plentilul, in armies
money, and many of them—a great many in Middle-
ton—have become the owners, through the instrumen-
tality of building clubs, of the cottages in which they
reside."
Benefiting, whilst in Middleton, by the advice
which the Morning Post gives to the protectionists,
that they should sound the shopkeepers as to the
comparative means of the working classes to purchase
food now, as compared with corn law times, I visited
a number of shops with that view. " I cannot," said
one of these (a grocer and provision dealer), " refer
to books to riaUs you, but, if you will take my word,
I can sewn you that I have never known the work-
bag slams better off than now. They buy more food

exceedingly to perceive that yore seas, a owe of your late
articles, to ir tribute to me as opiate' that no catholic
Modest could under say cammeteaces, tatted without ids
the lectures to be gins is the newly established Quesa's
Colinve. It this wig rally year messing, I beg to MAIM
you that I a ..er utiend a word to indicate that each is say
°rotor. The wanks into which you sass to have been
unintelitioncliy led, appears to have arisen frost a eappo-
sition of sm., p. rasps a very unfounded one, that the
Bated C.o emotion of Propaganda was implored
with a a rnon of that kind, when the Ant ret-
script regardtag the colleges was issued, and whoa
it was course, accurately acquainted with the
various checks aueinst the inroads of irreligion and lame-
rality which were then in preparation. That such an idea
should hive beta them ontertaiaed would, perhaps, man
those tiftllllli sears, be hardly surprising ; but the suppoid-
tim that it redly was so, is at least premature. For, oa
reviewing the two neeripts, of which there is questiae, I
unmet disc. vet in either of them any declaration to that
effect; and t is neither my duty nor my wish to MAN any
addition to than. The Batted Congregation—always pru-
dent, always dignified—gives no countenance, in those docu-
ments, to the adsurility of a;iplying the epithet of "Ood-
les." to instituvoits which competes ministers of religion,
appointed for the terns purpose of teaching the students
to adore, and love, sad serve Ocd. It calmly ezpreass its
doubt, as to how far the proposed cheeks against irreligion
would be satiated by the laws of these realms, which It
professes not to understand ; it indicates other grounds o'
fear, which !tad it to apprehend that the new colleges would
not be meiciestly safe for the general educaton of catholic
youth ; sad I', therefore, enjoins the catholic bishops to take
no part in the negation of the law in virtue of which they
were t estabiist.ed. Ido not find any other distinct pro-
bibition is these ractipts. With thi, injunction I, at ones,
pledged myself to the Holy Bee that I would strictly con-
-1111,1111. Bat 1 stop there. Being thus wholly unconnected
with those limitations it is not for me to anticipate any
luau. declare loss regarding them which may emanate from
the wisdom of the same supreme authority—nor to dictate,
in the meantime, to *tan what I:value-one, respecting
cases, they ought to draw from the two important
daunt. nte which are now before them. Having given this
explanetion, 1 mutt beg to decline enterit.g again, through
the newspapers, upon this subject.
I have tie honour to remain, dear Sir, your obedient
servant, M D. MUMILAT.

one of the conservative members, that no farther dis-

Mr. Reynolds ; but th►t that question ►hould be left

This was a wire facies at the prosecution of Thomas Henry
Mandalay and others, to te'l the defeadents' rights under a
patent obtained in 1838 for certain improvements in the
power of pupae, vessels upon the swew principle.
The principal novelty in Lowe's patent was that the screw
worked with a shaft ander water, through a stuffing box,
and the length of the screw was better proportioned to its
pitch and better adapted for speed than is the alleged im•
promulgate of various other @Belmar'.
In support of the prosecution it was submitted that the
power of propulsion by screw was known so far back
as 1784. It was precisely the same principle as that upon
which windmills were worked, and in 1785 a patent had
been obtained by one Brutish for improvements they disco-
vered in the working of those machines. Amongst the
mantilla vitamins called in support of the prosecution were
Mr. Calaway, Mr. Wm. Cabitt, Mr. Frederick Braithwaite,
Professor Cowry, of King's College, Mr. Cousin, Mr.
Loyd, chief engineer and inspector of nuiehinery of lie
navy, and Mr. Harems, chief engineer of the dockyard at
Woolwich. They stated that the power of propulsion by
screw was known prior to 1785. The vertical sales of wind-
mills were merle upon that principle before that period, and
1•31/6.1 patent was on the same principle. There was no
novelty la lespoilisi vessels by screw or carved blades wak-
ng ea an ads Wow their water mark.. Several patents
had beea±eafaaiAr improveinents in screw prop-liars.

Biz F. Thalger, for the prosecution, said that without

rights ander kin patent, it was arranged that he (counsel)
should withdraw from the prosecution, sad allow the jury
to had a verdict for the defendants.

Sir F. Thalier was warty so mach time had been occu-

Sir F. Pollock said that evident* of any amount of novelty
Of utility, even by combining the invitations of other.,
woad be a eallaiect answer in a proceeding of this sort.
There was certainly ample room for an arrangement.
A verdict was then entered for the defendants,

Haddiestmse wu not disposed to be thus quietly
disposed of by his learned friends. The court had ruled
that he had locus standi, and he wished to be heard against
this oiler.

Mr. Parry called upon Mr Ruddketone to prove that the
es tor whom he appeared were inanagen. He did not
dispate his friend's amnion, but anernon wan not proof.
The Rev. J. Fitarictiards Hinds tau deposit' that he
was a manager of the bask, sod he was en* of the parties
represented by Mr. Huddlestoes. The other parties were
also managers.
Cr,.. examined—Was brathrr to the actuary, but it was
sot by arrangement will him that he appeared.
Mr. Bolan' ine—l ask you beiadly u a clergyman of the
church of England, and U.llllltr me as each, do you ur do you
cot appear in this case with the view of aseistiug your brother
to evade the order.

Witness—Most decidedly not; I appear here as a ma•
Hager.
Toe learned Judge said it appeared very extraoriinsry
that one brother, the actuary, should come forward and very
fairly propose to pay the money into Mart, and another
brother, a manager, come forward and warmly oppose that
proposal.
Mr. Iluddlcdone then addressed the court, and urged that
these proceedings were taken spinet Mr. Hinde by wo very
officious perarns, who ware actuated by vindictive and per-
sonal feeling, and who were not competent to carry the pro-
ceedings further, as they were acting in opposition to the
wish of a m dority of the trastei e. He submitted that they
must be put out of court.
Tne Court decided against Mr. Huddlestone without hear-
ing the other side. The learned judge said he could not
understand why the manager should oppose the payment of
money whin it was alleged was du • from their own officer.
Nothing could be more fair, it I ppear d to him, than this
case was, judging front the surface of it, especially as re-
garded Mr. Hinds, the actuary ;.but why the manager should
refuse to take the money when offered was to ham almost in•
comprehonsiole. If all the mosey in dispute were not to he
spent in law, and the character of every person connected
with the proceedings torn to pieces, the sooner the offer made
by Mr. Hinds was acted upon the better.
Mr. Nellantine then suggseted, with the entire concur.
ranee of the learned cum.' for Mr. Hinds, that the learned
judge (if he w laid kindly under ale the Hike) sheuld have
the accounts submitted to him privately, to furni-h him
with correct data upon which to make an order. Mr. Hal-
lintine said the only desire the exhibitants had in the
matter wee that the poor, halt starved depositors, should get
back their hard earned money.
Mr. Huddlestone contended that the exhibition' were not
entitled to be in court. There were ten trustees, and here
were only two.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-TESTEZDAY.
_ Boom W. COMUSIOXII gOILAOTII.

Mr. Cl-ark,on thought this course of proceeding calculated
to inflict infinite mischief upon Ma orient.
The learned Judge thought so too. He forcbore to say
whet views he began to tatertain of the affair; but. if
carried much further, it would become a question ot cha-
racter. _ _

After some further discussion, the learned Judge con-
sented to investigate the accounts privateiy—the amount in
dispute beim?, meanwhile, deposited with the clerk of the
peace, and the mangers to be present when the accounts
were gone into.
The Court then formally ordered the further hearing of
the petition to stand adjourned.
A cheque for the amount was immediately handed to Mr.
Mande, the deputy clerk of the peace.
The use appeared to have excite-I considerable interest—
• number of punks connected with savings b.nke being
present.

EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION.—A damn, whose
name did not trans& el, but who described himself as a
surgeon residing at laworth, In Suffolk, applied te Mr. Ham-
mill for his advice and assistance under the following remark-
able circumstances:
Ihe applicant stated that about a month sines he was a
passenger in one of the trains from Bury, RIM the Eastern
Counties Railway, accompanied by Captain Lloyd, a friend
of his, when, upon reaching Mark's Tey, the next station
beyond Colonester, au elegantly dressed woman, who had an
infant with her, entered the carriage with a tottering step,
and apparently In a state of extreme ilium and debility, and
explained to them that she had been previously travelling
in • firs•classearriage, where she was quite alone, but that,
feeling pertly indisposed, she had beea induced to change
her place for one in another carriage, when there were other
passengers. He (the applicant) introduced himself to her as
• surgeon, and tendered his professional armies if she re-
quired them, but the lady declined his offer on the ground
that her Blame was solely attributable to her being unseen.-
touted to the fatigue of fling, and she appeared to have
rallied considerably by the time the train reached the Shores
ditch urminus, when he again offered his service,, but she told
him that they were quite unnecessary, as her carriage and
servant ought to be waiting for her outside, and requested
him to take charge of the child for a few minutes, while she
ascertained whether they had arrived. The lady then hastily
descended the steps leading from the platform, leaving with
him and the captain her child and a smell trunk, which he
at the time supposed contained her luggage, but after wait-
ing for more than hour, the lady did not again r.iake her
appearance; and from that time to the present he had
neither seen nor heard anything of her. After making nu-
merous inquiries in the hope of gaiaing some trace of her,
bat unavailingly, he conveyed the infant, which was a female
child two months old, to the house of a private friend of his
in town, and on taking off its clothes they discovered, at-
tached to the inside of the dress, a letter containing two 101.
notes, and conveying a brief intimation that the infant
was the offspring of persons of the hishest respectability,
who would continue to contribute all that was requisite to
ensure Its comfort and proper maintenance, upon being
addressed by advertisement in the public papers to that
efficr, and that the Stile charge would be ultimately re
claimed by ifs parents. The infant had ever since
remained under the care of the friend, with wtom
he had first placed it ; but he had since re-
ceived eiverel letters upon the subject, one of
which was from another private friend of his, who was
most anxious to adopt the child, and, in proof of his being
actuated by anything but a mercerary feeling, he was ee-
ikons that the money which had been left on its account
should be deposited in some savings bank for its future
benefit. This benevolent proposal, however. he was re-
strained frtm acceding to, in consequence of a second com-
munication having reacted him from some gentlemen in
Devonshire, who made a peremp'ory claim of the child and
the property attached to it, alleging that he was empowered
to do so by its own mother, although he produced nothirg
satisfactory in authentic: lion of his assumed authority, end
threatened him, in the event of Lie :Marl to accede to the
demand, to ad ipt legal proceedings against him for its im-
mediate restoration. Under these eircomsfances,
..he was
totally at a loss bow to act, as his only obj..ct was to relieve
himself of the responsibility so singularly imposed upon him
in a manner which would be jointly conducive to his own
safety and the interests of the infant, and he was therefore
induced to come to this court to obtain the opinion of the
magistrate as to the meet advisable cuursi to be pur-
sued. The applicant described the contents of the box
which accompanied the infant es exclusively con-
sisting of wti.ring apparel of • tasty and expensive
description and adapted for a female child, and having
expressed his conviction that the infant's mother was a mar-
ried woman, from the circumstance of noticing a wedding
ring rpm her finger, end that a portion of the clothing,
though still in excellent condition, was slightly worn in
various places, added, that he hail been rejected to great
eapenee, trout le, and annoyance, from the unpleasant
position in which he had been placed, and had been com-
pelled to come up expressly to town, leaving his petients in
the country whel:y unattended to, that he might be put in
the way of adopting some measure by which this, to him ha-
rassing affair, might be brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
Mr. Rammill said, that it was certainly a very singular
and unsung' application, and he regretted exceedingly that
he could nut render the gentleman any effectual assistance ;
but he would suggest that the best course for the applicant to
pursue would be to place the infant in the hands of the
officers of the parish in w nose district it had been abandoni d.
and they, he had no doubt, would take such steps as would
release him from all further responsibility, and very probably
lead to the ui. covery of the person who had abandoned the
child to the care of strangers in such an unnateral manner.
The applicant thanked the magistrate for his advice and
quitted the court, but it wee pretty manifest from his
manner that he was disinclined to adopt the suggestion
thrown out by the bench.

Mr. Walker was recalled, and stated that every creditor at
the meeting had signed the deed of arrangement. He

not said the creditors would be paid 9Ds, is the pound. His
impression was that they would.
In answer to questions from Mr, Licklater, he said that at

Commercial Bank would have a surplus of 1,0001.; at the
second It was computed at 5001. or 6001. • and afterwards it
was said there would be a deficiency of 6001. or 6001. Mr.
Cntbill, in hie first rough estimate, was out 3,3001., tke bank-
rupt having proved for 2,3001.
Mr Gamine, Mr. Parsons, cad Mr. Cherry, all creditors of
the back ware called to prove that at the meeting of credi-
tors Mr. Walker stated that any deficiency would be made
good by Gibeon's friends.
Mr. Begley and Mr. LsnAilater then addressed the court
in opposition to the bankrupt Gibson, and Mr. Lawrence in
support. Start also addressed the court in kis own behalf.
It is unnecessary to give the arguments advanced, as the
facts have been already tally published in the reports of the
examinations, and the only matter of interest now is the
it.
trinionour said he should defer his judgment. The court
did not rise till after 9 o'clock.
