LAUNCH OF THE PRESIDEN-1

STEAM-SHIP PREVENTED

On Saturday not less than 30,000 persons repaired
to the ship-building yard of Messrs. Curling and Young,
at Lialehouse, in expectation of witnessing the launch of
the large steam-ship President, belonging to the British
end American Steam Navigation Company, which is in-
tended to run between New York and London. This
stupendous vessel is larger than the British Queen, and
was built in the same dock, and not upon a slip. It was
intended to float her out at the top of high water on
Saturday afternoon, and two steam tugs were engaged
to tow the President to Blackwell directly she got
afloat. During the morning the President was visited
by great numbers of the nobility and gentry, who were
,dmitted by tickets. The visitors expressed their ad-
miration and surprise at the magnitude of the vessel.
From twelve o'clock until two the steamers and Blackwell
omnibuses continued bringing down company to see the ex-
pected launch, while the Commercial-road and Ratcliffe
Highway, and all the principal thoroughfares leading to
the ship builders' yard, were crowded with pedestrians ;
carriages, cabs, and carts were all brought into requi-
sition, and the roads leading from Limehouse presented
an unusual scene of bustle and confusion. At three
o'clock the tide was at the highest, but the vessel did
not float, and it was evident to nautical men that there
would not be water enough to float her out that

tide, which was remarkably low, and the effort
was, therefore, given up, although the event was
not made generally public. Much disappointment
was manifest amongst those who were made acquainted
with the fact. At this time the river front of the
dock-yard presented a most animated appearance,
having a fleet of steamers dressed in the colours of all
nations, and a large concourse of small boats com-
pletely filled the space before it. Mrs. Laird, th°
wife of the Secretary of the Company, performed tho
uremony of christening the vessel, by throwing a
bottle of wine at her bows, and calling her the Pre-
amidA the huzzas of those on board, the
British Standard and the American Fla:: being

hoisted at the instant. The shouts were imme-
diately and cordially responded to by the people in
the yard, and those on the river by three hearty
cheers. It being certain that she could not float that
tide, notice of the fact was given, and permission was
given to those in the yard to visit the vessel, to which

(.xtra props were put, and the public admitted on one
:ide and made to descend on the other. The rush was
very great to get admittance into the vessel, but no
accidents took place. Messrs. Curling and Young
provided refreshments for their numerous visitors, which
vere distributed with great liberality.

GUILDHALL.

On Saturday a young woman named Ellen Morris,
with an infant in her arms, was brought up for re-exami-
nation, charged with stealing a salted leg of pork from
the shop window of Mr. Courtney, a cheesemonger in
King•street, Snowhill.
Thomas Scott, the shopman, stated that she came up
to the front of the window about seven o'clock the pre-
ceding evening, took up the leg of pork, and went away
with it. The window was kept open. They kept a
good look-out for thieves, but the thieves kept a better,
and were constantly carrying off something or other.
Sir PETER LAURIE said he had no doubt that the
number of thieves would increase so fast that no shop-
keeper would dare to keep a window open, unless he
kept a watchman constantly at it.
The witness said the nature of their business almost
required that the windows should be kept open.
There were more attempts to steal than there used
to be.

Sir PETER observed, that if their goods must have
air, they must keep a continued watch, or they would
have prosecutions at every sessions.
The prisoner admitted she had been in Bridewell, but
it was not for stealing. She was discharged the same
morning as she had committed the offence. She had no
home, and had nothing to say to this charge.
Sir PETER said she had no fear of Bridewell. Slie
suffered less under the restraints within it than from
r distress out of it. He risked the value of the pork ?
The witness said it w,.s under 3s.
Sir PETER said, he expected to find, when he had
completed his inquiry, what number of destitute and
desperate persons were turned out of the various gaols
of the metropolis to plunder and live upon the indus-
trious, that tne number would be about 200 every
week ; and we should soon have to double the size or
number of our prisons. He ordered inquiry to be made
at Bridewell as to the offence for which the prisoner was
previously committed. The officer now reported that
she was found destitute in the street.

Sir PETER asked the prisoner what parish she be-
longed to ?—She said she had none ; she belonged to
Ireland.

Sir PETER asked her if she would pledge herself never
to steal again if he forgave her now ?—She answered
tnat she could not promise that.
Sir PETER committed her as a rogue and vagabond
for fourteen days. It was subsequently ascertained that
her husband had been transported, and she wished to
follow him.

first time it was ever tried, and if it had not been for
that wonderful discovery he would have lost his life.—
(Laughter.) You may laugh, gentlemen, but how

The witness then retired. It is unnecessary to say
that the sombre gravity of the Court was much relieved.

FUN AND PHYSIC.

There was an assault case tried at the Queen's
Bench last Friday, the most particular feature of
which was the evidence of a person named Bates, who
stated that he was a surgeon in George-street, Black-
friars-road, and attended the plaintiff from the month of
June to the month of September. His bill amounted
to 121. odd.

Cross-examined by Sir F. POLLOCK—I am not a
member of the College of Surgeons, but I have been
a pupil under Sir W. Blizard, Sir A. Cooper, Mr.
Green, Dr. Blundell, and all the rest of them.—
(Laughter.) I have walked all the hospitals, and years
ago had scores of men under my care in the service of
the Est India Company ; and if I am not authorised
to practise, I do not know who is.—(Laughter.)
Sir F. POLLOCK—Pray, Mr. Bates, do not be so
violent.

Witness—Aye, aye, it will take you a good deal of
trouble to prove that I am not a legal practitioner.
I'm no more an illegal practitioner than you are.—
(Much laughter.) I appeal to his Lordship if I hare
not as much right to practise as any man in the king-
dom, I don't care who be is.
Lord DENMAN—Be so good as to recollect, Sir, we
are not here to try your qualification.
Mr. ERLE—Do forget yourself Mr. Bates, and re.
member the case.
Sir F. POLLOCK—Forget himself! I think he does
forget himself. I want you, Sir, not to make a dis-
tressing case ridiculous.
Witness—l did not come here to diminish the case.
It is a most " hobscure" case ; the infLimmatory
" haction" was very great, and it was one of the greatest
difficulty and danger, owing to the constitution of his
health being " underminded" by the " Asphaltes" w iie
he was in the hospital.—( Laughter.)
Sir F. PoLLocK—Stop, stop ; owing to what did you
say ?

Q UEEN-SQUARE.

Thomas Rogers. the driver and proprietor of the
Hornscy omnibus, No. 3,878, was charged with insulting
and abusing Mr. B. Salomons, a merchant residing at
Higlibury.
On the evening of the 27th of last month, the com-
plainant went to his door by the defendant's omnibus,
end on arriving there gave him the usual fare of six-
pence, which he refused to receive, and pushed and
abused Mr. Salomons in a most shameful manner.

The defendant denied the charge, and called two
persons, who acknowledp.:ed that they were in ,he habit
of drinking with him, but whose evidence rather strength-
ened than answered the charge against him.
The MAGISTRATE said he had the power of sentencing
the defendant to imprisonment and hard labour, but as
he had not been punished at any other office, he would
act leniently with him this time, and fine him 40s. and
costs, which the defendant paid.

HATTOIV-GARDEN.

An elegantly-dressed young man, who gave his name
Powell, was charged with robbing a lady in a Pad-
dington omnibus, on Friday afternoon. The lady, on
arriving at the Angel, at Islington, found she had had
her pocket picked : there were two fashionably-dressed
young men, who were apparently known to each other,
sitting beside her, and when she discovered the robbery,
they made an effort to escape—one succeeded, but the
prisoner was stopped and taken into custody. The
Magistrate said he had no moral doubt of the guilt of
the prisoner, but, in the absence of all proof, he must
discharge him.

THE LATE BIRMINGHAM RIOTS

THE GOVERNMENT INQUIRY.

Yesterday the inquiry was resumed at nine o'clock.
The room in which the inquiry is held, was again ex-
cessively crowded. There was a very full attendance
of Magistrates. A great number of witnesses were
examined in the course of the day, among the rest Mr.
Olive, one of the old constables ; Mr. W. J. Robinson,
in the employ of Mr. Bourne, whose house was burnt
down ; Mr. Alderman Hutton, and others. The
following is the only evidence of the least interest, given
by Mr. John May, Superintendent of London Police.

- After the Bth, tile men were stationed every evening,
from five to twelve o'clock, to prevent meetings. That
continued up to Monday, the 15th. In the day time
my men patrolled in fours. Their duty was to dis-
perse assemblages. Their orders were, that if there
was any assemblage which they could not manage
they were to report to me. On Monday, the 15th of
July, at 10 o'clock, I received an order from
the Mayor to discontinue the patrol in the
evening. I was not to send out my men
that evening into the Bull-ring. One-half of my men
were to have returned that night to London. On
Thursday the 11th, we had sent forty of our men back.
That was done by an order of the Mayor. There were
then 50 effective men in the town. Eleven were ill
from wounds. The town was then peaceable ; I saw
nothing to the countrary. The Mayor said that
as the town was peaceable and tranquil, part
of the force might return, and I was not to send
out my patrol. He said that one half might
return that eveaing if all was quiet. That was on
Monday the 15th. As I was going home to London,
I asked the Mayor what order would be given to the
Inspector who succeeded, and whether the men were
to be employed without the sanction of the Magistrates.,
The Mayor said certainly not, and that he and the other
Magistrates were going to leave the office that evening as
all appeared quiet. As I knew there were more people than
usual in the town I asked whether, if anything occurred,
I was to take my men out, or wait for an order from
the Magistrates. This was about three o'clock, and
after Colonel Chatterton had been at the Public-office.
All the Magistrates, five or six in number,, were then
leaving the office. Mr. Clements Scholefield, brother
to the Mayor, was present. We had never since our
arrival been out without a Magistrate. The Mayor said
1 was decidedly not to take out my men without a Ma-
gistrate's order.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER.RACES.7(ThuRsDAY.)

The weather in the early part of the morning was ominous
of a wet day ; the rain fell steadily and heavily, black clouds
prepared us for a continuance of it ; our anticipations, fortu-
nately, proved unfounded—the rain ceased between nine and
ten o'clock, the clouds dispersed, and the sun, bursting forth
with summer warmth and brilliancy, dispelled all fears. As
on Tuesday, crowds flocked in from Sheffield, Hull, Leeds, B:e.,
and the streets, without being absolutely impassable were
for some hours sufficiently thronged to require the aid of the
police to maintain a thoroughfare. At the Salutation ham-
mers were " going" for three or four hours, and several lots
of well-bred stock changed masters at fair prices. The
betting-room was full, and a good deal of business was done
on the Cup at 6 to 4 on Charles the Twelfth ; 2 to 1 against
Bee's Wing; each having a strong party. At two o'clock the
bustle shifted from the town to the course, where we found
a large and tolerably fashionable assemblage, the grand and
smaller stands being full to overflowing; it cannot be denied,
however, that the ensemble fell short of the average of Cup
days at Doncaster, both in number and rank. In our next we
hope to complete the list of the Nobility and Gentry who were
present on this and the St. Leger days. The racing was most
excellent, and was not brought to a close until half-past five
o'clock. The following are particulars :

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

THE QUEEN V. GODDARD.
Mr. JEavis moved for a role to show cause why sa
information in the nature of a quo warrant° should not to
exhibited against the defendant, to show by what authoriti
he claims to be an Alderman of the borough of Carnarvon
or why the affidavit of Mr. W. L. Roberts, which be,
moved upon, should not be read on showing cay.se against the rule nisi for liberty to file a quo warranto obtained br,
and on behalf of Mr. Edward Roberts ; and why the said
Mr. W. L. Roberts should not be at liberty to appear and be
heard by Counsel in support of the rule ; and why, in the
event of the rule being made absolute, Mr. W. L. Roberts
should not have the conduct and management of the case' Sir W. Follett at the beginning of last term, on the
struction of Mr. Williams, the Mayor of Carnarvon,
tained a rule against the defendant. The case was ago.
brought on on the last day of term, and his Lord
ship then directed it to go into the other Court, b. u
the rule was not enlarged and it was dropp.A, Under
g
these circumstances, Mr. Roberts being anxious to
on with the case, wished to have his
affidavit recd
as it disclosed an important fact, which was admitted is
the others, viz., that the election took place on an i 0
proper day ; and when the rule was to be moved for abso'
lute, that he should see it properly conducted ; and Sir %SC Follett could not object, if he was fairly instructed on die,
other side, to have the assistance of the Attorney-Generiu and himself (Mr. Jervis).
Mr. Justice PATTIBON--You say the rule is dropped.
Mr. JEavio--That was a doubtful question—it was
doubtful i 7.1 practice whether, when the rule was net
dispoKa of and not enlarged, they might not flat
it was still in force. He therefore moved in the altero3'
tive, that if the rule was dropped a fresh quo warratrio
might be granted ; or if that was not the case that
Roberts might appear, and support the rule now pen,:;ing•
Mr. Justice PATTISON—That would be a rule to sboll
cause.
Mr. JERVIS—Yes.--Rule granted.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

GREEN V. CUNNEU.
INTERESTING TO CONTRACTORS.—In this ease, the
defendant had contracted to build a house for plaintiff:
within a limited time, under a penalty of a set-off of tw°
pounds a day for the delay incurred. The defendant WO
not able to complete the work within the stipulated period ;
and the plaintiff brought his action to recover the set-off Rit
the excessive time. The cause was tried at the late sitting
at Guildhall, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff
for upwards of 1001.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE moved for a new trial, on tb°
ground of the verdict being against evidence, inasmuch se
the defendant proved that plaintiff had greatly interrupted
him in the progress of the work, and also on the ground° misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge, beeause be
left the question to the Jury whether, notwithstanding the
interruptions, defendant had time to complete the contraq
ithin the given period, a question which the Learned Sergeant contended could not be well decided by the Jai'
The Court granted a rule Nisi for a new trial, on the
ground of the verdict being against evidence, but not ups°
the ground of misdirection.

Just published, No. 11., price ed., of
THE LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL.
Containing Sixteen closely printed Quarto Pages.
The LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL is intended to be
a cheap Weekly Periodical, whose chief object is to aid in the
Moral and Social Improvement of the bulk of the community. A
regular demand now exists amongst a very large class for literary
information, and " useful knowledge," which is, of course, supplied
from various quarters; but there is no existing cheap Periodical
which aims at occupying the peculiar ground open to the
LONDON SATURDAY JOURNAL.

Without coming under the designation of what is usually under-
stood as a " religious" Periodical, it is intended that the Journal
should have a distinctive Christian character; that it should habi-
tually appeal to tho religious feeling, as well as the understanding,
of its readers ; and that both its information and its amusement
should have a higher aim than passing gratification. By carefully
avoiding a sectarian spirit, it is hoped that the Journal will be ac-
ceptable to all denominations; and by embracing the usual topics
of a Literary Weekly Periodical, that it will obtain a wide range of
usefulness, and have both power and opportunity to aid in promoting
the social advancement of man.

COMBINATION OF MASTER BOOKBINDERS.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY

JOURNEYMEN DIS-

CHARGED.
TO BOOKSELLERS, PUBLISHERS, and
the PUBLIC in general.—The following label having been
pasted on the copies of " Tredgold's Civil Engineering, Steam
Navigation, &c.," lately issued,—
" The ombination among the Journeymen Binders, compels the
Publisher for the present to issue the work sewed, instead of
boarded. It is, however, put together in such a way that it can
be referred to with the same facility as if it was boarded ; and being
carefully sewed, can be put into boards or half-binding without
being taken to pieces."
The Journeymen Bookbinders beg leave to state that the partial
suspension of their trade hero alluded to, is in consequence of three
of the principal Employers in the City, and others belonging to
their Trades Union, called " The Master Bookbinders' Associa-
tion," formed about two years since, having been directed by that
Association to DISCHARGE ALL THEIR WORKMEN who
belonged to the Journeymen's Trade Society, which has existed
upwards of Fifty Years, and to which many of these Employers
formerly belonged. It will be seen, therefore, that whatever in-
convenience the Public may sustain front this interruption of their
trade, proceeds, not from the Journeymen, but entirely frum the
Employers.

THE RHINE.

The legends, traditions, historical reminiscences, &c., o f
that most picturesque of European rivers, the Rhine, are
related with spirit and vivacity in this little work, which is
exclusively devoted to them. The number before us,
which is the ninth, is embellished with an excellent map of
the sinuous course of the Rhine.

THE CoRN-LAws.--Kendal, we see, in common
with many other towns, has taken the field in order to
destroy the landlord's monopoly. The local Mercury
states that " a preliminary meeting was held on Thursday
evening, at the Town Hall, on the subject, which was nu-
merously and influentially attended. The spirit manifested
gave the utmost assurance that the matter will not be al-
lowed to sleep. A sub-Committee was formed, comprising
a number of our leading gentry and manufacturers, to make
arrangements, and a public meeting, we understand, will
short ybo called. We make this announcement with the
sincerest gratification.

REPEAL OF THE BREAD TAX.—The right-
minded people of Leeds have annonnced a meeting for to-
morrow, when, we are informed, a petition will be adopted
for the repeal of all restrictive duties, or prohibitions, on
m mufacturcs and agricultural produce ; and that it is in-
tended to propose the establishment of an Anti-Corn Law
Association. The line projected is, therefore, the same as
that which was adopted by a majority of the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce.

SHOOTING AT A GAMEKEEPER.—On Saturday
week, as Collins, the gamekeeper to Viscount Maynard,
was going his rounds in Tilty Wood, he found John Chap-
man and another man pursuing game. On coming up to them
and desiring them to surrender, Chapman took aim and fired
off his gun, Collins receiving part of the charge in his head
and face. The prisoner has been committed to gaol on the
capital charge.—Esser herald.
On Saturday mornin an alarming fire broke out in
g
Lower Thames,street, near the Custom House, on the
premises of a coffee-shop-keeper, named Jackson. The
engines were promptly on the spot, and an occellent supply
of water being obtained, the flames were subdued, but not
w
before they had done great damage. The origin of the fire
is not known. The property is said to be insured. About
ten o'clock on Saturday night a fire broke Tlt; •:`,-, 7 iaryle-
bone•lanc, in a hay-loft, from some lighted matches having
',Alen incautiously thrown into it. The fire was got under
without doing much damage. The adjoining premises being
an extensive timber-yard, much alarm was excited,
