LAW INTELLIGENCE,

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 28.
The Court this morning resumed its sittings. Thirteen
applications for bail were made and all granted.

THE REV. J. G. HOUNSFIELD.

In this case a question arose under the New Act. The
insolvent had been some time in York Castle, and a vesting
order had been obtained against him under the compulsory
clause.

Mr. COOKE moved to rescind the order, on the ground
that the Rev. Gentleman had sufficient property, and was
about raising money by mortgage.
An affidavit was read, showing that the detaining creditor
had been offered his money, which he refused. The conduct
of the detaining creditor was termed oppressive.
The COURT granted a rule nisi, to rescind the vesting
order.

THE LONDON EQUITABLE LOAN COMPANY.
Wm. Charles Haddon, a clerk and director in the Lon-
don Equitable Loan Company, whose case was reported on
a former day, again came up.
The insolvent, it will be remembered, was connected
with the London Equitable Loan Company, which was con-
cocted by two persons named Gilbert and Smyth, who had
issued prospectuses stating that the Duke of Wellington
was the patron. His Grace had, of course, nothing to do
with it ; and after the exposure the " Company" ab-
sconded. Mr. Haythorn, who had opposed, was a victim
in advancing 1501. to become an agent. Mr. Davidson,
who also opposed, was another clerk. He had advanced
money to the " Company." The insolvent had, according
to his account, been a victim.

Three handsomely bound books used by the Company
were produced. They were not paid for. They were in
the possession of a person named Symonds, who had been
a clerk and victim to the " Company."
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said he could not take them
out of Symonds's possession. The insolvent had been con-
nected with a nefarious Company, but it did not appear
that he was other than a victim. He was discharged.

IRELAND.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DUBLIN, DEC. 27.
THE ENGLISH RADICALS AND THE PRECURSOR
SOCIETY.—An adjourned meeting of the Precursor Society
was held this day, for the purpose of receiving three reports,
prepared by Sub-Committees ; one on the Registry ques-
tion—a second embodying an address to the English Radi-
cals—and the third containing an exposition of the Tithe

Mr. O'CoN NE LE moved for the admission of two hundred
of the ladies of Limerick, who were admitted amid loud
and enthusiastic cheers.
The SECRETARY read a communication from Mr. Stephen
D'Elor, enclosing Si. 10s. from the London Precursor
Society, and requesting 2,000 cards. It is dated from the
Committee-room, Great Marlborough-street, St. James's.
He also read a letter from Mr. Henry Rukaby, Rocking-
ham, Yorkshire, enclosing 101., the subscription of 125
Liberals of that neighbourhood.

Mr. O'CONNELL made some observations on the neces-
sity for the Irish Members being in their place at the open-
ing of Parliament, and stated that he would be there him-
self, though he would not neglect the Precursor Society, for
he Would be in that room once a fortnight for some time to
come.—(Loud cheers.) He would pair off for a day, even
if it were with the Recorder, as often as it was necessary.
Mr. O'Connell then, after some appropriate observations,
read the report of the Committee on Registry, stating that
several sums (which were mentioned in detail) were sent to
different localities, to enable the people to effect a registry
of all Liberal claimants. The Learned Gentleman then
proceeded to say he was about, he trusted for the last time,
to read a document addressed to the English Radicals. He
did it with more satisfaction, because since the Committee
had taken up the question, Mr. Lovett, the Secretary of
the Working Men's Association, bad conducted himself in
a manner worthy of the thanks and praise of every friend
of rational liberty. At a meeting in London, Mr. Lovett
had appealed to Feargus O'Connor—now known as
blood-thirsty Feargus—to postpone the time of vio-
lence, which he had fixed for September next, and
impressed on the meeting the benefit of relying on
moral power, and the effects of education. His ob-
servations to this effect were received with hisses, and
Feargus, in reply, did not deny that he had recommended
the dagger and the torch. O'Connor had praised the re-
port in The Sun; and, indeed, he might conscientiously do
so---and it appeared from it that Mr. Lovett's direct

MANCHESTER-(YESTERDAY

During the last week, a desideratum long wanted by
many has been supplied to the inhabitants of Chorlton-on-
Medlock, a township within the Borough of Manchester,
containing upwards of 40,000 residents, by the opening of
a News-room and Library, on a large scale, (called the
Cliorlton Lyceum). It is remarkable that, amid such a
pfpulation, not a single News-room had an existence till
that in question was opened. It is intended mainly for the
operative mechanics; but the premises are so fitted up,
and the suites of rooms so extensive, as to afford good ac-
commodation for the higher classes. The premises were
specially built for the residence of the late Samuel Mare-
land, Esq. The Trustees of the Lyceum have engaged
them at a rent of one hundred and fifty pounds per, annual.
The subscribers already exceed 800 ; and the annual
subscription is limited to Bs. per annum. By the close of the
year the library will contain above one thousand volumes.
The rooms have been fitted up by the donations of the
rich and middle classes. It is also intended ton t
at
least eight lectures, with an occasional concert. This is
the second News-room which has been established during
the last six weeks, having in view the same objects. It
is also intended, Qs soon as arrangements can be completed,
to open three or four similar establishments in other parts
of the borough. Tea and coffee are supplied to the sub-
scribers.
A

_sTnoNoirficAL SOCIETY IN MANCHESTER.--A few
days since a preliminary meeting, consisting of a few scien-
tific gentlemen,
was held, for the purpose of establishing
an Astronomical Society in Manchester, with a splendid
observatory. James Heywood, Esq., the brother of Sir
Benjamin Heywood, has, we believe, the merit of first sug-
gesting the desirableness of such an institution. There is
no doubt, from what has already transpired, that the pro-
position will be liberally responded to.

MANCHESTER CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 26.
The show of Stock was unusually small, but as that
Is in general the case the first market after Christmas, it
Caused no effect, as the buyers did not want their usual
quantity. All was cleared off, however, and Beef sold at
4id, sinking the offal 6id per lb., and Mutton Sid, sinking

INV ALID INSTITUTION.
The DENHAM-PARK Establishment of the Institution is
open for the reception of persons of both sexes in the upper walks
of life suffering under mental disturbance or neryous complaints,
but who are still capable of appreciating the blessings of social in-
tercourse.

The invalids reside with the resident Medical Officer and his
lady as one united family. The visits of the usual Medical At-
tendants and Friends are admitted at all Cutts without previous
notice. The attendants are educated persons ; and recreation and
amusement provided on the most liberal scale.

Denham-park is a Proprietory Establishment, and managed by
a Committee of Gentleman, and under the general surveillance of
its Vice-Patrons, Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have no interest
in the Institution but what is prompted by a desire to benefit
mankind.

The Resident Medical Officer is a member of the College of
Physicians, and has the sole direction of the medical treatment of
the invalids, and has no interest whatever in the emoluments of
the Establishment.

Apply "for terms and prospectuses to the Secretary, James Tay-
lor, Esq., addressed, Denham-park, near Uxbridge, Bucks.

Fl A RIOT to be SOLD, clean and good as
la,' near, having been but little used ; has patent axles, C springs,

FROM OUR SECOND EDITION OF

LAST NIGHT,

ARREST of the REV. J. R. STEPHENS

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
MANCHESTER, TEN O'CLOCK, THURSDAY EVENING.
This morning two Bow-street officers arrived in this
neighbourhood, armed with a warrant from the Secre-
tary of State, for the apprehension of the Rev. J. R.
Stephens, of Ashton-under-Line. The caption was
made without the least uproar, or even suspicion, till the
thing was effected. He was conveyed to Woisley for
examination, and from this circumstance there can be
little doubt but that this arrest is in consequence of
some proceedings at Leigh, about two or three week's
since, on which occasion it is well-known that the
speech (which has not, that I am aware of, appeared
in any Journal) was unusually piquant. Whether the
examination will be private I cannot say ; but if not,
you will, of course, have information of what trans-
pires. It is understood here that a sort of preliminary
investigation will take place this evening. All the
Magistrates of the district, however, ate sum-
moned to meet to-morrow, and, as far as information
goes, at Worsley. Should the proceedings be pri-
vate, which is most probable, you must be content
with the on dits of the day. I shall endeavour to be
a diligent caterer. Mr. OASTLER is in Manchester,
and has been in the neighbourhood now nearly a fort-
night. There is not the least excitement here in con-
sequence of these proceedings.

PRACTICAL RESULTS of the LATE
CORN-LAW MEETING IN MANCHESTER.

The Manchester Corn-law Association came to the
resolution, on Monday evening last, to rent an exten-
sive and elegantly fitted room, in Newall's-buildings,
Manchester, formerly occupied as an under-writer's
room, for the practical demonstration of the statements
made by Mr. Cobden, Mr. Greg, and Mr. J.
B. Smith, at the late Corn-law repeal meeting.
There will be exhibited, for public inspection,
the productions of foreign countries, consisting chiefly
of cotton goods, woollens, silks, hardware, &c., with
the prices of such articles, duty paid, as well as the
cost at the place of their manufacture. In juxta po-
sition will be placed articles of Briti: h manufacture,
having cost the same price.
The dullest political economist will then be able to
perceive whether the alarming statements lately made
have their foundation in fact ; or whether they are
mere chimeras. Were no other result to rise out of
the late discussion, than the exhibition of the various
productions of our manufacturing rivals, with the
value of each article attached—and such should prove
the means of giving to the operative and the capitalist
a just notion of what is passing in the manufacturing
world—such information will be invaluable, inasmuch
as it would remove ail false notions, if any 'should
happen to exist, that there is no danger of, our
commercial career being retarded ; and it has been the
general opinion so long, that it would seem perfectly
hopeless to anticipate a removal of the film without
the most positive and infallible demonstration.

the service wes unl v perfurmed b.) vessels. He vriFitedto
know whether there was any- into. tion on the part of the Ad-
mira:ty to increase the number of vessels on this station?
The Earl of MINTO replied that it was perfectly true that
the machinery of one of the steam vessels belonging to this
station was under repair, and also that another steam vessel
was d .maged be a collision. With respect to employing more
vessels on this station, he could only say that there were not
more steam vessels at the dUspos•l of the Admiralty. They
were, however, engaged in building some new vessels, and
they were willing to purchase when they could satisfactorily
do so.

'1 he Earl of WICKLOW hoped that in a short time A
better description of packers would be employed oa this station.
The Earl of AUNT() made an observation which was inae-
dible in the gallery.
The House then adjourned.

and the colonial population against oppression, and for secur-
ing the attainment all the equitable and beneficent intentions
oF the Slave Emancipation Act. In this prayer he most cor-
dially concurred.
Lord BROUGHAM said, the opinion of Dr. Pye Smith,
and of the twenty or thirty persons who joined with him in the
prayer of the petition, was, no doubt, of great value ; but
he (Lord Brougham) must remind the Noble Marquis,
whose views seemed to accord with theirs, that they were
mightily contracted in number as compared with those who en-
tertained directly the contrary opinion, and who had sent thou-
sands of petitions, signed by myriads of persons, to Parliament
praying for the immediate emancipation of the negrocs on the
Ist of August next.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, referring to some of
the observations which had been made by the Noble and
Learned Lord (Lord Brougham) with respect to the dis-
cussion which had arisen upon the petitions presented by him
(the Duke of Wellington,) observed that he should not that
night have called the attention of the House to them, except
upon this one and solitary ground : that be understood the
Noble and Learned Lord was not likely to be present in the
House to-morrow.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE bad not presented the pe-
tition to the House as one coming from a numerous body, but
simply as coming from a class of persons whose opinions wire
entitled to consideration.

Lord BROUGHAM was disposed to allow great weight to
the opinion of Dr. Pye Smith ; but it would be seen that the
Reverend Gentleman had not formed any very strong or any
very settled opinion upon this subject ; for if he (Lord B.)
were not misinformed, a petition fro.n Dr. Pye Smith, and
signed by sixteen or seventeen theological students over whom
he presided at the Homerton College, praying for the imme-
diate emancipation of the negroes—( A laugh )—would be pre-
sented to-morrow evening by the Noble Lord who had been
hii ( Lord Brougham's) predecessor and successor upon the
Woolsack.

The Marquis of L AN SD 0 WNE knew nothing of any other
petition from Dr. Pye Smith.
The petition was laid upon the table.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then presented ten peti-
tions from different parishes in Wiltshire, praying for the im-
mediate emancipation of the negroes.
NEW ZEALAND.

The Earl of DE VON deferred till to-morrow (this day),
the motion of which he had given notice, " For the ap-
pointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the pre-
sent state of the hands of New Zealand, and the expe-
diency of regulating the Settlement of British subjects
therein."

NEW COURT.

This being the day for the opening of the London Sessions,
the Recorder was obliged to attend at Guildhall for that pur-
pose, and the Common Scrjeant who usually presides in this
Court, in consequence took the Learned Rec3rder's place in the
Old Court. The jury and witnesses were in waiting feorn ten
o'clock till half-past eleven, when

Mr. Serjeant ARABIN entered the Court, and apologized
for the delay that had taken place. Had he been apprized
that the Recorder could not attend, he should have been there
at nine o'clock, as easily as at that hour, and he hoped the
jury would believe that it was through no neglect of his, that
the delay had occurred.
The Learned Serjeant then retired to robe, and shortly after-
vrarda took his seat on the bench.

William Jones, 34, a coachmaker, was indicted for stealing
a sum of 6/. 4s. 6d. the property of Robert Clarke, from his
dwelling-house.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
John Justice, 19, was indicted for embezzling various small
sums of money, the property of his master, Michl Robert
Jenkins.

The prisoner was in the employment of the prosecutor, a
publican, and was in the habit of carrying out beer, and receiv-
ing the money. He left at the end of ten days without giving
notice, and it was then ascertained that he had obtained money
from the customers.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
John Easton, 17, was indicted for stealing a half crown,
the property of David Watson.

. .
The prisoner was a journeyman-baker in the employment of
the prosecutor, and in consequence of some suspicions he
marked a half. crown piece, which was aft?rwards found on the
prisoner's person. The money was given into the custody of
a policeman, and when it was now produced the prosecutor
could not identify it. The mark was quite different from that
which he had made.—Not Guilty.
The Learned SERGEANT told the prisoner that he had a
very narrow escape, and recommended him to be more cautious
in future.

Henry Hawkins, 34, was indicted for stealing a sum of
145., the property of his master, Samuel Lindley.
The prosecutor is a spirit and naptha oil manufacturer, and
sent the prisoner to pay the sum laid in the indictment to a
person in the City, but he appropriated it to his own use, and
absconded.—Guiity.
Daniel Driscoll, 42, was indicted for stealing 601bs.
weight of butter, value 31. 2s. 6,1., the property of Major Pratt.
The property in question was lying at the door of Mr Jen-
ning's shop in Newgate-market, and the prisoner, who is in
the habit of working in the market, was seen to put it on the
shoniders of a companion, and they both walked off. lie did
not come to this market again for a fortnight, when he ryas
immediately taken into custody.—Guilty.

OIL MARKET.
The impulse given by the late fire to this market, must have been ex-
pected to be but temporary. It has subsided, and prices, we should say,
are very near what they were before the fire topic. place.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
Canadian produce continues perfectly nominal, just as it was yester-
day, and in all probability will continue to do so until we hear some-
thing decisive from that part of the world. The market for Groceries
opened to-day, and a good f...eling to purchase appeared to exist. The
goods advertised fur sale were not heavy, consisting of Bengal and Bar-
bailees Sugar, Mocha, Ceylon, and Brazil Coffee, Rice, Pepper, and
Cloves. When we left the market the sales were progressing, but no
variation of moment in prices bad then occurred. Some think tha.
13. P. Sugar will be higher. The last quoted price of Crushed Sugar if
395. Tea continues to progress very heavily at the public sale to-claf
and the inclination of prices is downwards. The imports of Groceries
are good just now for the time of the year, but the business advertised
or the week in them is small.
