resolution of calling a General Meeting, to consider of the measures

The following arc among their published reasons

ASSAULTING A BODY SNATCHER !—Yesterday I young man
named Win. Choppic, on of the sexton of St. Luke's. aa,
charged with assaulting Wm. Darnley, a professed restirreciimi
man.—The complainant gave a marring description of the dangers
he ran from ihe violent and unprovoked assaults of the defendant,
and expreaaed his ignorance of the cause of his antipathy, lot he
had never spoken to the defendant, nor did he know any thing of
him except by sight,.

" What are pun ?" asked the Magistrate.—" I have no parti-
cular occupation," replied the complainant, " but my father and
mo'her are in business, and I am partly supported by them."
The explanation of the defendant, however, showed that the corn.
plainant had a very particular oc.cupation. "Please your Worship:,
said he, "last Sunday week this man stole the body of a child from
St. Luke's burying-ground, at five minutes before one o'clock in
the day, and while the people were in church. I was looking out
of window, and saw him and another man put the body of the
child into a box." He admitted that seeing the complainant lurking
down the church-yard last Sunday, he did strike him, the corn.
plainant having threatened to stick a knife in his vitals. On Mot.
day also he gave the complainant another gentle tap, but the latter
had tint put himself in a boxing attitude: although when ttvited
to tight likes man, he declined the ci.ntest.
The ➢lagistrate said, however well known the complainant's oc.
cupetion might be, he must not he asaulted in the streets, but lef:
to the operation of the law if he offended.
The case was finally dismissed.

FORGERY.

Iliehard Rumba!, a young man who has been for six weeks in
custody, on a charge of forg.ry, was now brought up to be finally
examined.

.....
.Ur. hes Wilson, who carries on business as a silk manufacturer
in Wood-street, Crieapside, deposed, that the prisoner came to his
shop on the 21st of September last year, and sorted goods to the
value of La. In payment he tendered a bill of exchange for
1425. is, purporting to be drawn by Richard Thomas, of Truro,
upon Robert Michel of the same place. It also purported to bear
the acceptance of Robert Michel. Witness made inquiries re-
specting the drawer, and a reference was given to a very respect.
able house in town. They stated that there was a Richard Thomas,
at Truro, who was a very respectable person. The bill wan matte
payable in London, at Menses. Carr. Glyn, and Co.'s, the bankers.
to the order of Richard Thomas. The goods were supplied to the
prisoner.
Mr. ll.ta sten, who conducted the prosecution, produced evi-
dence to show that there were but two Richard Thomases and two
Robert Michels in Truro ; and several witnesses deposed that the
bill did not bear the signature of one of them.
The LORD MAYOR intimated to the prisoner that he Mt It his
ditty to commit Into to take bin trial. The case would in all pro-
bability he tried on Thursday next.
Mr. MPIIRIES said that was impossible, as the trial must be
put off. He should apply to postpone it, on account of the absence
of material witnesses.
Mr. HARMER complained that very serious expense had been
already incurred to the prosecution by bringing witnesses from
Cornwall, and expense would be enormously increased by such a
delay.
The Logo MAYOR said he saw no just ground for putting off the
trial. The prisoner had had six weeks to procure the witnesses that
might have been thought requisite.
Mr. lluatretrtles declared he had expected that the prisoner
would be discharged, and that no witnesses would be required.
The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at the
next Sessions.
Boer-STREET.—Yesterday Sir R. Birnie received from some
charitable individual a letter, enclosing a 51. Bank of England note,
which the donor requested the Worthy Magistrate to apply to the
use of a venerable old man, named Dyts, whose vicissitudes in life
and distressed condition was reported in this Paper during the last
week. The letter was signed Ignstua," and Sir R. Birnie said
that he would take care that the old man should have the money in-
stantly forwarded to him.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Six—Seeing in your Paper several observations as to
the situation of Suitors whose business lays in the Office
of the late Master Courtenav, and the hardships under
which they labour, occasioned by the non-appointment of
a Successor, I beg leave to say (notwithstanding the bold
assertions of " A Lover if Fair Play,")—" A Chancery
Practitioner" is right.
I know there are several Cases now at a stand-still
(per/taps nothing wonder/rid in this Coot) in that effice,
to the manifest injury, nay, perhaps ruin of the parties;
and trust things will not remain in the state they have so
long been M.
There are, perhaps, several other situations in the gift of
the Lord Chancellor, now vacant, occasioned (no douht)by
thengideaty of his Lordship; ate I will not hesitate to name:
a Commissioner of the third list of Bankrupts ; this has
been vacant some months (ever since the death of the late
Burton Morice, Esq.), yet the Commissions of Bankrupt
are still uniformly directed to a dead man. This is a
serious evil, for in the event of the death or other incapa-
city of two of the present Commissioners, a Bankrupt's
estate would be put to the expense of a renewed Commis-
sion. I am, Sir, your liumhle servant,

give it my warmest support in Parliament whenever the Parlia-
mentary friends of the measure, and especially those so highly
valued al milted, who have proved to the Catholics how worth•
they are of their confidence. should deem the discussion discreet and
sahitary To the Catholics of both countries I presume, with all
respect, but also with the deepest anxiety for their success, to re-
enromesd moderation. in order to secure unanimity amongst them-
selves, and disarm their adversaries t and a determination, by
continued system of loyalty towards the Crown. and obedience to
the laws, to prove themselves resolved anti worthy to obtain, by legal

[From the GMOOPIO Cinematic.]
Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of Paisley was
1,,1, the Lord Provost in the chair, to consider the elis-
tri,b,il state of the weavers. It was misted that 1,200
143,u; were unemployed ; that some individuals had been
"to; work for three months ; and that stso had enlisted. A
eereetittee was appointed to receive subscriptions. We
ouch fear that all which it will be possible to raise in this
"ve will not go far in relieving the sufferers. Some of the
was
u
sieisitert advan the ridicuoess doctrine th it thlansfacturiog interest alonel whose duty itat was to con-
e
uibute.
Business continues unususlly dull in the power-loom
line. Some additional works have been reelitecel to half
tine, and others have intimated, that they will be under the
necessity of withdrawing " the premium." This is an al-
lowance given to the most industrious workers, and will
run from Is. tots. a week•. according to circumstances. As
this is the reward of merit, and of course prized above its
nominal value, the workers consider it a proof of very bad
times.
We have received a letter from the Secvetary of " the
Shotruskers Society," which contains several assertions of
the cause of the suike against the Messrs. Paterson, which
we deem it improper to publish. Supposing, however, all
that is alleged to he true, it affords not the slightest justi-
ileadote of the subsequent proceedings of the combination.
If the shoeimikers were dissatisfied with Paterson's prices.
nothing was more easy than to drop working for the, aril
eugagiag with those who gave a higher value for their
labour. They heel no right whatever to place a watch on
the warehouse, for the express purpose of molesting and
intimidatios those workmen who were satisfied with the
Messrs. Paterson's terms. They must know that the new
law was enacted for the express purpose of preventing this
intolerable interference of one inecliaiic with the affairs of
another. All description of trade are now rendered free,
for those who choose to enter them, at the terms most eatis
factory to themaelves 1 and whatever persons combine to
prevent this are manifestly acting unlawfully. The com-
bined shoemakers may refuse to work for the Messrs. Pater-
son as long as they please, but they have no right in any
shape to hinder others from doing so. This is the Rolla
objection w their conduct ; and as long as it continues it
ought to be denounced in the strongest terms.

The inhabitants of Gray's inn-lane were thrown into the
greatest state of alarm last night by the falling of a house in
Spread Eagle-court. Between three and four o'clock at
1% elation, the street-keeper, was going down at the oppo-
site side of the way, he heard a loud shriek and imme-
diately after a tremendous crash ensued, the roof and part
of the aisle-wall eoming down and burying several of the
labourers employed on it in the ruin. The circumstance
won spread about the neighbourhood, and the families of
the unfortunate men lipeefinif collected round the spot,
rending Vie air with the r lamentations. A number of
escalators were set to work to clear the rubbish,
in which they. ran very coniderahle personal risk,
from the crazy state of the adjoining buildings mo-
mentarily threatenini to entomb them in one com-
mon grave. After a great deal of labour, they were
attracted to one corner by the groans of two of the suf-
ferers, who were soon after dug out alive, but in a dread-
fully lacerated condition ; two more were subsequently.
ern at in another part, also alive, but seriously bruised ;
they were removed to the hospital, where they now remain
tinder surgical treatment. The search was then continued
for a considerable time, until at length the body of anlehlerly
man was discovered beneath abrestsomer, which, being en-
cabantrod with timber-work atul rubbish, was difficult to
remove; this however was at length effected, but un-
happily too late, as the poor man nn• totally dead.
Ilia name is William Clancy ; he is en Irishm in, appa-
rently about fifty years of age, and has 'e t a harp. family.
The head and body were slightly wourd d, but the back-
bone appears to have been broken by the b 'am falling
upon him. At ten o'clock last night the no lo were still at
work at the ruins, as two others—'a man and a boy—were
then missing. Several of the houses in this neighbourhood
base long been a nuisance, and were lately condemned.
Two of dime in front, Nos. 27 and 28, Gray's-Inn-lane,
had been taken doffs, which so weakened ate adjoining
holivs in Spread Eagle-court (all of which are in a most
dilapidated state), that it was deemed necessary to take
them down, in which work those unfortunate pool fellows
were engaged, and it is presumed they had incautiously
undermined the fousidation, and the side-wall hissing no
supports gave sva! to the pressure of the roof. Au inquest
will be holden to-morrow.

NEW STATES OF SPANISH AifERICJ.

[Freon the 'New Yerk Papers]
MEXICO.
We have received the two principal papers of the Mod-
can capital down to the end of September. The Presi-
dent of the Mexican Union bail accepted the resignation of
Sr. Alaman, as Secretary of Foreign Aftliirs,•and appointed
as his successor, ad interim, Sr. Gomez Pedrata. It was
said that Sr. Camaehio, member of the Sovereign Congress
from Jalapa, would he nominated to the post. Sr. Ache-
lena reached the Mexican metropolis on the Vith of Sep-
tember, from England, where he had filled the otifice of
Mexican Ambassador. He was to proceed soots to Num*,
being one of the delegates of Mexico to the Congress. The
Minister of Marine had set out for Vera Crux, anal hiaertand
was supposed to relate to the occupation of die Costleof St.
Juan (Mika, which, it was presumed, could not possibly
hold out, the Mexican naval force Laving the command
of the Gulf. The Mexican editors exult in the increase
of their vessels of war. They argue against a proposi-
tion made in the national councils to exclude from the
Mexican ports the figs of all the nations that have not
acknowledged the independence of the Republic. There
is some trade with Fiance which it would dosevy. The
16th of September, the anniversary of the first Mexican
" cry of liberty," was celebrated by public rejoicings. It
is remarked wilt what particular brilliancy the houses
of the Plenipotentiary of the United States, and the En-
voy of Great Britain, were illuminated.
IVe must not forget to mention the creation and instal-
lation of a (;rand Lodge of Freemasons in Mexico ; it is
composed of the first men of the country. Estevs, Secre-
cretary of the National Treasury, is Grand Master ; Za-
valo, a senator of distinguished talents, I). G. Muter ; Ge-
neral Guerrero, Grand Senior Warden ; Alpuche, a priest
and senator, Grand Junior IVarden ; Zolon and Abulto,
Grand Secretary and Treasurer ; G. neral Filisola and
Aldana, first and second Grand Deacons ; and Ramos
Aripse, a priest Of considerable talents and influence, Grand
Chaplain. On the 29th of September Mr. l'oinsett, the
American Minister, as Past D.G.M. Of the Grand Lodge
of South Carolina, installed, according to our usages, with
much pomp and ceremony, the officers of the Grand Lodge
of Mexico. A splendid supper and brotherly toasts
followed.

ems alias friniams, seemingly not above tit or 3a years of age,
'ren of which he is said to have passed on board the hulks at
Sheerness, was brought before Mr. 'SENNETT. charged with a
desperate outrage on the premises and person of Thomas Curry, a
' juurneyman weaver, residing in John-street, Bethnal-green.
It appeared from Curry's statement, that about eight o'clock on
Monday evening, Wit wife being from Marne on a visit to her mother,
he locked his bed•room door, leaving two children there in bed, and
retired to his work in a room immediately beer the bed-room.
Shortly afterwards, hearing a noise below, he went down to see the
occasion of it, when he found Ilia bed.rnont door open. and the
prisoner standing on the threshold. The latter inquired if a per-
son named Thompson lived there, arti being answered in the ne-
gative. attempted to leave the place. Curry then seized him, and a
desperate struggle ensued. io rte course of which the prisoner's bat
fell off, and he succeeded in !tenting his way to the passage, where
a companion, who hat been titationeiloutsele, came to his assist..
ance, and they both attacked the prosecutor, and beat him severely.

coming up, one of the men made his escape, but the prisoner was
conveyed to the watehbouse. .
The bed-room was afterwards examined by the officers, who
found the bed.clothes lying on the floor, preparatory to conveying
them off, and the room door had been forced.
A hat. which had been found in the landing-place of the stairs
was produced, and it appeared that the prisoner, when in the
watch-house, had acknowledgedjt as his. -
The prisoner was reminded for further examination.

INDIA COMPANY'S INDIGO SALE.

In consequence of-the pressure of the times, several of
the principal inn brokers applied to the Company to
have their sale postponed. The Directors referred the ap-
plicartkm to the Committee of IWarehouses, which in its turn
brought the eubjeet under the consideration of the Dirre-
tors, who took-ten days to consider it, and then returned for
answer to the brokers, that the sale must take place on the
usual day.
In consequence of this decision of the Directors, the sale
commenced yesterday morning, but at a much later hour
than is custotnary, as it ditl not begin until twenty minutes
before one o'cleet. A few chests of the first part of the ca-

talogue were reeled fur sale. but no purehmars appearing.
the taxed prices twine considered too high, the sale was ad-
, journal until to-morrow (this, day). Eighteen hundred
elit-sts were withdrawn from the sale. We understand that
the hrokera are dissatisfied at the short time that was given
to them for inspecting the indigo, by reason of the delay
occasioned by tie Directors not earlier declaring their in-
tention of bringing on the sale; and in addition to this
circumstance. the short and dark days orerated against an
inspection of the article to he sold by the brokers. Uuder
all these eircuinstaticzn, the sale that was attempted yester-
day ae.;cd off witnout bidders.

GUILDHALL.

Yeitertlay t; MAT Nterhen Beaky'
and Ricretr3 &Mg, were limn ;lic before Alderman Wood,
charged by their employer, Mr. Pontifee, an eminent copper-
smith, with leaving their work in an unfinished state, and hav-
ing obtained money on account of the same. The case was fully
made out against one of thrtn, who had, it appeared, obtained no
less a sum than eleven pounds in advance, and then went to
another manufactory to work.
Mr. Pontifex stated it was not his wish to press the cases, if the
men were sensible they were acting illegally and would return to
their work.

Mr. Sheen, another coppersmith, then stated that the trade had
for a long period been put to the greatest inconvenience I that the
men could earn from 9s. to Its. per day ; that a great number of
them got in debt as much as possible in advance on their work, and
then left. It was also tutored that other men would not finish the
work that was so begun.
The cases were then all gone into and proved ; the great point
the jourreymen wished to be decided was, wbetlitr, •• if they made
out their bill," that is, undertook certain 'work. and received
money upon it, or were in debt to their employers, they were liable
to the penal clauses of the law.
Mr. Alderman Wool) fully explained this point in the air.
matire, sad added that the opinion of an eminent Counsel had been
taken thereon. _ _ .

This being understood, one of the defendants said they were
sorry for what they had done ; that they were willing to go to work
and pay all the expenses.
This was assented to, and after a suitable admonition from the
Alderman. they were discharged.
The oilier was crowded with workmen in the same trade, who
appeared to be pleased with the termination.
The Alderman deprecated the practice of advancing money to
the workmen beforehand, as injurious to them and to their cm.
ployers.
