TO THE EDITOR OF THE RRITIgH TRESS.

Six,—The Tlnzesof this day (Saturday), in comment-
ing upon the subject of the late meeting of the Bank Pro-
prietors with respect to the communications that have taken
place between his Majesty's Ministers and the Bank Di-
rectors, observes (with reference to the liabilities that will
no doubt be entailed upon country bankers associated under
any charter) as follows:
" flowerer, much Will certainly depend on the tempt-
I itions held nut by Government to become partners in such
concerns. The assurance that Government had deter-
mined to grant no charters which would screen the private
property of th 4 partners, which, without reference to the
individual share, was to be open in the fullest extent to the
claims of the creditors,' presents no strong inducements to
men of fortune to enlist in such concerns.
In answer to the remarks of the writer of the above ar-
ticle, I wish to observe that as the law at present stands, I
mean by the common law of the land, all hankers are liable
to their creditors out of the joint as well as their private
property, and are precisely in the same situation a; any
other partners are in trade, in case of failure. The joint
debts are liable to be paid out of the joint effects in the first
instance, and the separate effects may be resorted to on
failure of the sufficiency of the joint property ; but before
the separate effects of the partners can be brought in aid
of the joint estate, such separate estate must be first ap-
plied in payment of the debts of the separate creditors.
It would not be proper, therefore, nor can it he expected,
that Government would sanction the granting of charters to
country bankers upon terms that would reduce their pre.
sent common law liability. The object of charters on the
present occasion, or rather the necessity of them, is to in-
crease the number of partners in banking concerns, and
consequently the amount of security to the public, for at
present, not more than six men can, by law, carry on the
business of bankers in any one concern.
In granting charters, therefore, to persona wishing to
form joint-stock banking companies, there will be no
hardship in, nor any reason for, refusing to afford any
greater protection to the property of the intlividuala com-
posing such companies, than what is now actually enjoyed
by the present race of bankers under the law as it now
stands. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, FEB. 4.

The Court WM occupied the principal part of toe morning in
hearing a Cornish Jlining case, and at one o'clock the farther dia..
cussion of it was postponed until a future day.

THE KING V. RICHARD cißtur.

Mr. J. EVANS moved for a rule to show cause why the Sheriff
of Middlesex should not return to the defendant certain books
seized under a writ of kiwi facia., for the purpose of satisfying the
fine imposed by this Court upon the defendant for publishing a
blasphemous libel. The affidavit stated that the Crown had re-
mitted the fine, and apt the defendant was now at large.
Mr. Justice Baxr.i Y asked whether some of the books were
not of an exceptionable character
Mr. EVANS said that books of !Haim descriptions had been
seized, many of which were of a perfectly innocent nature, such as
"Watson's Apology• for the Bible," &c. On making the rule
absolute the Court might mould it as they thought proper, so as to
prevent the dissemination of any of the works which were of au im-
proper tendency. The Secondary, he believed, was anxious to give
up the possession of the books, under the directions of the Court.
The Cot; RT granted a rule nisi, and suggested that probably on
the motion to make it absolute it would be referred to the Master
to select such works as.might with propriety be restored to the de..
fendant.—ltule nig: granted.
The LORD CHIEF Jtisirren went to London at one o'clock, so
hold his Sittings. No ease of public importance was tried.
COURT OF CONIIIO-N—McS, SATURDAY, For. 4.

WRIT or RIGHT.—ANGEL V. ANGEL.
This was a proceeding in a writ of right, brought to recover
some lands in Vorkshirc. The Sheriff has been commanded to
summon " tour lawful Knights of his County, girt with swords,"
to come into Cohn, anti make election or the (,rand Assize, to nor.
nuance of which, four gentlemen (who were in reality Escruiresi
girt with swords. entered the jury-box.
sergeaut arotrast said it was his duty to take wbx
might appear a chivalrous course, for notwithstanding the gentle.
men summoned were armed with swords, he should challenge
of them (a loud laugh). The Learned Gentleman then read his
him, which stated that the defendant challenged the said Edward
Place, (the first of the four gentlemen) became he was not a lawful
Knight ; and pmceeded to argue that the gentlemen returned were
not eligible, not possessing the title of Knight: and cited a case in
the reign of Edward 111. where the Court refused to allow the re.
turn because they were not Knight'. •

Weld.
At Beer and &aton, on Tuesday last, the sea presented
an extraordinary degree of convulsion, and the tide ebbed
and flowed so rapidly, that a laigo schooner, lying in Mr.
Hallett's harbour, was suddenly left aground: in a few
minutes after she was. floated by the tide, or bore, which
came in whit such violence as to excite apprehensions that
she would be thrown on the pier-head; and this was re-
peated several times. It is feared that an earthquake or
other agitation of nature on the Continent occasioned the
phenomenon.—On Wednesday, a heavy ground-swell was
experienced at Babbicombe, which occasioned the regatta
to be postponed, the stewards deeming it unsafe for the
boats to veature to sea, white the ocean was so disturbed.
What renders the circumstance the more remarkable is,'
that there was little or no wind at the time.---Exeter

PHENOMENON IN NATUIIAL Iltsvonv.—A sparrovr,!

Fulford, near York, on Wednesday last.
LADY-Brans.—The great fall at Brighton, and in the!
sea near that place, of the insects commonly known by the
name of " lady-birds," is by no mans an unprecedented
occurrence. A similar fall took place some years ago in
and near Rochester, when the " ladyehirds' infested, as
long as they lived, that city, and left after their death a
disgusting scent, which was retained in the shops for many
months. It is not often that they appear here in such
multitudes as have swarmed this season: they seem to
have spread over the whole country, and drop down from
the trees about Aylesbury almost as thick as from the
cloud that passed over Brighton. When they visit the
hop-grounds they feed upon the larva. of the Aphides,
small black bodied flies with large wings, which appear
upon the hop-plants before the " lady-birds" arc visible.
Both these kinds of insects are migratory: on two occa-
sions in Autumn, we have seen a cloud of .4phides going
off from the coast to the sea, that of the • lady-birds"
in the neighbourhood of Brighton. One of these occasions
was off the coast of Kent, when the cloud appeared a mile
in length, and dropped myriada every moment into the sea.
About the same time of the year, the Rev. Mr. White, of
Selborne, witnessed a similar phenomenon in his own
neighbourhood :—" On the first of August," says that in-
teresting natural historian, " about half an hour after three
in the afternoon, the people of telbcrne were surprised by
a shower of Aphides, which fell in these parts. They who
were walking the streets at that time, found themselves
covered with these ins: I.ls, which settled also on the trees
and gardens, and blackened all the vegetables where
they slighted. These armies, no doubt, were then in it
state of emigration, and sbtftiag their (patters; and might.
perhaps come from the great hop-plantations of Kent oc.
Sussex, the wind being that day at North. They were ob-.
served at the same time at Farnhatn, and all along the Yale
to Altou."—Bucks Chronicle. • •

the Trinita de Monti. Here he remained five months.
Having retracted his opinion,. he was dismissed from
Rome; and the house of Monsignor Piccolomoni, in Si-
enna, was assigned to him as his prison. About the be-
ginning of December, in 1663, he was liberated ; and re-
turned to the village of dell auto, near Florence, whence
he went to Areetri, where, a is probable, be received the
visit of the English Bard. Milton himself has informed
us, that he had really seen Galileo; and Rolli, in his
Life of the Poet, considers seine ideas in the Paradise
Lmt, approaching towards the Newt' nian
to have baen caught at Florence from Galileo, or his
disciples.

THE GLASGOW OPERATIVES AND THE CORN

LAWS.

From the Glasgow Free Press of Saturday.]

The operatives of Glasgow are about taking measures to
petition the Legislature on the subject of the Corn Laws;
and the principal question, we understand, they are now
considering is, whether they should petition altogether,
and send perhaps thirty or forty thousand names on one
instrument, or by Separate trades produce many petitions,
and occupy more of the attention of the Legislature and
the public. We think it is a matter of little consequence
which of those measures is decided upon. From the opera-
tives in and around Glasgow, we have often received ex-
pressions of confidence and kindness; and we have en-
deavoured to merit those expressions by advocating the
interests of that class of society, which has seldom had
any other advocates than the wretchedness and destitution
of its different members. Confiding in the opinions they
have expressed of our motives and labours, we venture to
call their attention to a few important considerations. On
Monday, one thousand power looms, we are told, will be
stoppe I, not for half time, but altogether—one thousand
individuals, one way or another, are now connected with
these looms, who will next week he thrown out of bread.
Other manufacturers will he compelled to follow, and great
distress will ensue. Large stocks have already accumulated,
and there are no purchasers. 'I he wages of labour will fall
' still lower than they are at present in almost every de-
partment, and much less work even at such reduction will
be given.
Now what we want to impress on the operatives is this.
In the course and progress of this want of work, reduction
of wages, and great individual privation, it is natural to
expect much discontent. Let not that discontent take a
wrong direction. Men cannot help feeling their sufferings ;
but let them not attribute those sufferings to erroneous
causes or innocent parties. The Ministers of State are not
to blame. The masters are not to blame. Though we are
friends to reform, a cry of reform just now would be the
worst step the operatives could take. Should Mr. Hualcis-
son succeed in giving the silk trade to the country, by re-
ducing the duties on the materials to the same as the duties
in France, and by repealing the protecting duty on foreign
corn, what follows from his system ? The operatives of
Glasgow will soon feel the benefit in a vastly-increased de-
mand for their labour, and the manufacturers in having a
new staple commodity to occupy their capital and exercise
their enterprise.

OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.

The house of a man named Keeffe. at Knockafrehane,
near Abbeyfvale, was attacked on Sunday night by a
number of armed fellows, who not being able to effect an
entrance, owing to his resolute resistance, set fire to his
stack of corn by the light of which lie recognised eight
of the incendiaries, who have been arrested. This noc-
turnal visit was caused by his contempt of a threatening
mandate to abandon the farm.

The house of a decent farmer named Michael Carroll,
at Bridgetown, county Clare, was entered on Thursday
night by a number of persona, armed with pitchforks and
sticks, who violently assaulted and•wonmled Michael Car-
roll and his wife, and finally succeeded in taking off by
force their daughter Margaret. Lieutenant Bindon, on
getting information of the outrage, about ten o'clock that
night proceeded, with the cavalry and police from the
different stations, in pursuit of the delinquents, but their
exertions were unsuccessful.

Among the committals to Limerick county gaol is John
Ctury, for the murder of Patrick Slattery. John Cleary is
next brother to the man who was killed a short time ago
by falling from his horse near the bridge of Kilfinan, and
succeeded to his property, which is about 4001. a year.—
He was arrested on Thursday evening at a place called'
Garryspellanc, in this county, by an active and confiden-
tial agent of Thomas P. Vokes, Esq. after a fatiguing excur-
sion. His father-in-law, whose name Kesys, charged
as a principal in the iame crime, has likewise been arrested
in Dublin, by the exertions of Mr. Vokes. Several per-
sons it appeared claimed an interest in the above-men-
tioned property, for which Cleary was disputing, and in
an affray arising out of it, the murder was committed,
while another man named Madden was so desperately
beaten on the same occasion, that he presents a miserable
and revolting example of the most savage tod barbarous
cruelty.—Limerick• Chronicle.

MEETING OF SILK IVEA I'ERS.

Yeatenlay afternoon a Meeting of Journeymen Silk Weavers
took place at the Three Colts public.house, Grove-street, Rethnel-
green. to receive the report of a Corn mittee which had been appointed
to meet the masters, who recently assembled at the London Tavern.
The attendance at the present Meeting, from whatever cause,
was unueitully scanty.
Mr. Jametti DEAN van called to the Chair.
IIIeTrioNPSON lose for the purpose of reading the Report, and,
from the tenor of the observations with which he prefaced it, It ap-
: reared that certain insinuations hail been indulged in out of dome,
charging the Committee Willi corrupt practice,. One, he said, had
been citar.'erl with receiving a bribe, of lit,. Another was said to
be a villein ; hit if tio, he would ask, What were they who ap-
pointed such villains?
The Report wan their read, detailing the means used by the
Committee to obtain a general meeting of the man ern. The result
wet, that a few of the masters did assemble at the London Tavern,
and their esteemed and venerable friend, Mr. lisle, took the Chair;
I but in ennsvluenre of the thin attendance, nothing was done. The
I Report concluded with the following appeal to the journeymen t—
" What, the Caminitiee ttsk, is to be done? Are we to sit down
in despair ? No. Let its press forward, seeing that we have been
awakened to a sense of the danger to which our starving oilitiprings
are exposed. Therefore let us use means becoming us as Ltiglisli-
men, anti convince tile world of our loyalty to our King, and at-
tachment to his illustrious family : our love far our country and its
constitution ; our grati.tide to our benefactors. and respect for 0117-
selves, as men belonging to an enlightened nation. The means ore
before you ; make use of them; and may lie without whose notice
a 'marrow lalleth not to the ground; who feesieth the ravens of the
valley and the beasts of die field ; who alike protects and clothes
the ant the elephant, grant you success, that the voice of
' mourning shall not be heard in our streets."
After the delivery of several speeches by Messrs. Thompson,
Wallis, &e. it was resolved that an humble address aliould be pre-
sented to the King, praying that his Maj,lity, the Royal Family,
and the Nobility, would patronise the fancy and plain branches of
the Silk Trade of Spitallields and its vicinity.
A Committee of five persons was then appointed to prepare the
Address, atter which the Meeting quietly separated.

COVENT-GARDEN THE.4TRE.

The agreeable opera of Guy Mannfring. was performed
last night at this theatre, for the purpose of introduein4
Mr. Braliam, this season, to the metropolitan public. It
was announced in the bills to be seven years since lie last
made his appearance on these boards. He was received
with the warmest welcome by the house, which, though
nut crowded to excess, was respectably filled. We were
glad to find that the astonishing powers of his admirable
voice were not in the slightest degree impaired. We never
heard him to better effect. The airs he sung were ex-
ecuted with consummate ability. A dreary void will be
made in this department of public enjoyment when this
areamplished singer may he cutnpelled to resign the dis-
tinguished station he holds. He is the legitimate lord
of song. How vastly inferior to him are all those
who aspire to dispute the palm with him! Brahain
has ■ mind as well as a voice, while his rivals, if we
most in courtesy so. teen them, have but voices el pre-
Peels nihil. Rayner played Dandle Dinmont in an excel-
lent style. He possesses great merit, and will usuredly
rise to a high pitch of popular favour, but his lucky hour
has not yet arrived. Farren's Daminie agrees well with
the author's design in many respects, and is altogether
a much more correct and finished pi--e of acting than
Luton's, though we are compelled to admit that it fails
exceedingly in provoking mirth compared with that extra-
ordinary performance. Alia Pawn, as Lucy, was super-
latively excellent, and Miss Hammersley was entitled to
no small degree of approbation for her personation of Julia
Mannering. We have seen a better Meg Merrilies than
that of Mrs. Faucit.

CAPE OF 0001) HOPE.

Mr. HUME iroiniiedwltetheribe Report of the Commissioners

Mr. W.HORTO.N replied that all returns from the Cape would

allowed for their production. The Commission sent out was not
• miefiried to a single specific point of investigation, but was Instructed
to procure the fullest information on every subject connected with
the welfare of the colony, mid he could arure the Hon. Gentleman
.th.r had made the greatest progress in collecting their miscella-
nevi% details.

Mr. HUME asked the lion. Gentleman if he were willing to
Ise before the House the Report of General Turner? If not, he
Rare notice that on an early day he would move for the production
4.: all returns and official communications relating to the Cape of
•aciti Hope. It was three years since this Commission had been
euncinted ; he might therefore reasonably inquire whether the lion.
Cr...rule/lan had received any Report, and if he had, whether he was
willing to lay it before the House.
W. HORTON replied that he was willing undoubtedly,
but it was not easy to say how he wee to bring it forward. The
Commission was appointed to consider the amelioration of the co-
lony generally. and existed previous to any imputations on the con-
duct of the Noble Lord who was its Gover..or. Hut, while the
saved of the Commiasianens was of a public and general nature,
they were often delayed by the necessity of investigating individual
cares. In line. if the Hon. Gendeman would ask any particular
question, he would be happy to satisfy him ; but he would take
woe to consider before he presented the Reports to the House.

1 To thaw a lung bow is a Marker's glory,
That is, to narrate a most marrclious story.
A joUy Jack Tar, who ill dangers bad slued
With brave Captain Parry, a k act thus declar'd
" lee-bound during winter, and little to do,
We polibled our Boots, and went forth to pursue

Amusement on shore ; but the frost so intense,
Induced us to build a snug hut for defence :
Now mind tne,—not long were we hous'd when we found
That all our jaw-taelde had run fast aground.
Our words were all hose in the air !—'tis no joke.
And not a voice heard, although very man spoke.
'Twas strange, but not knowing what then was the matte.
We thought Polar wiazards set spell on our clatter,
So hasten'd on board. Weil, six months after that
The very same hut in, some Esquitnaux sat,
On shore as we stroil'd, and a thaw jest began,
When forth, talking English, they presently ran I—
' Vou'vebeen to the:Strand.' they said.' judgancntnot Itakirc.
Your Boots are illxtroio'd by Vs arrett's Jet Blacking.'
These words by the natives were often repented,—
Whet] entering the hut our amaze was completed.
For, thawed into titter:lnce we heard the lull Clow
Of sentences spoken there Mx months stio !
We breaded not a syllable, tongue-tied with awe,
A learn'il Polar I ,ingnist to rind in the thaw,
And oft in the air while the voices were clacking,
The disaolvirg words pronounc'd • Warren's Jct. Blacking.'
The Esquitnsux caught tints our language, aid may
Repeat " Warren's Blacking," to Time's latest day,
IVlten some future Parry will guess, front the whole,
That Warren was known front the South to North Pole!

.47'ROCIOUS MURDER IN FRANCE.

The Court of Assists 3f the Department. of the Doubt
have lady been occupied with a trial resulting frous.a
crime happily as rare as it is atrocious. The foilowing are
the particulars extracted from the Petit Al!pint Frame-
Cumb,i3

" The woman Mottct, widow BoyOntl, was convicted of
the premeditated murder of her husband. She had men-
tioned as her accomplices, first, a person called Carte, who
had formerly had an adulterous connexion with her; and
' afterwards another called Boyard, who at the time when
the crime was committed still kept up with her an inter-
course which she had the effrontery to acknowledge before
her Judges.
• " Many particulars. even after the trial,• remained still
unknown ; but those which have come to light are of the
most shocking description. It is uncertain by what means
this woman effected the murder of her husband, whom site
had long overwhelmed wall insults and injuries ; it is
known that the body was dragged froiathe stove to the
kitchen, and then to the cellar, where it was cut in pieces
with a hatchet : the arms, the hp, and the head, were se-
parated from the trunk, which was first put under a shed
and covered with earth and faggots, and afterwards car-
ried near a wood, and buried under a heap of stones. The
limbs are supposed to have been consumed in an oven; but
the evidence was not conclusive on that point.
" Fifty-eight witnesses were heard, and the trial lasted
three hours.

" Carre was acquitted. 13oyard, whose sunken eyes are
shaded with bushy eye-brows, whose restless eyes seem to
shun the glance of justice, whose mouth was cominu'ally agi-
tated, and all whose features mark the villain to whom crime
is familiar-130yard could not be convicted of having
assisted in the murder, but merely of having aided in
mutilating the boi. 'nd he was only condemned to two
years' imprivonmem ..e is exposed, however, to several
other capital charges.
The woman Beyond, unanimously declared guilty of a
crime rendered more atrocious by the circumstances which
accompanied it, was condemned to death, and thii sentence
will be executed in the same village, and in front of the
house which she inhabited. She is between 3. and 40
yeats of age, and has endeavoured during the trial to put
on an appearance of tranquillity, but has frequently be-
trayed very different feelings. She had the effrontery to
appear before the audience in mourning—a sad example of
the truth which the Advocate-General Sermage has pro-
claimed—" A first fall always draws another after it, and
often leads to' crime. Licentiousness admitted adultery
into the house of the unfortunate Boyond, and his abandon-
ed wife did not stain the bed of her husband with blood
till she had already soiled it by another crime."
