BRISTOL RADICAL MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta,—ln answer to the Bristol Correspondent of the
Times, allow me to say, that the communication only con-
tains two facts. It is true the meeting was held—it is also
true that Mr. F. O'Connor and others attended it. The
procession, by my advice, was counted, and it consisted of
nearly 3,000 persons. I asked why we had not more of
the women of Bristol at the meeting--as there were
not four present—the reply was, " because the autho-
rities had industriously circulated reports of their in-
tention to introduce a military force," which not only hul-
undated females, but had considerable effect upon the minds
of some timid men. There were no boys at the meeting.
The numbers present would have filled the large room at.
the Crown and Anchor more than four times, that room is
estimated to hold about 2,000. The day was awfully cold
and very wet, which circumstances being taken into account,
gives great importance to the large, the very large meet-
ing held on Monday last. Money is a good test of
feeling, and when I tell you that the working men
to the number of 200, paid 2s. 6d. each for a dinner
ticket, making a sum of 25/., you will say that there
exists some democratic feeling in Bristol. The cavalry
were drawn up in the yard of the hotel, where I remained.
A portion of the cavalry met the procession returning
from the meeting, and were loudly cheered by the people.
It must have been upon their return that the num-
bers were counted by the Correspondent of the Times, as
no person from whom any Journal would receive a
communication, could be guilty of so gross a falsehood as
to set down the numbers who marched to this procession
at 130. Bristol being the strong hold of Toryism, and the
Tories having received more than their usual share of de-
nunciation, fully accounts for the wrath of a party which
has hitherto looked upon Radical demonstrations as mere
anti-Whig exhibitions. The Radicals of Bristol have
vowed eternal hostility to the Tory Mayor, who refused
the use of their own room to meet in, and to the
Tory corporation, the most tyrannical, ignorant and vicious
that ever disgraced town or city.—Sir, in conclusion, I beg
to inform you that I received upon returning from the meet-
ing, a very curious letter signed, " An Agricultural La-
bourer," in which the writer apprises me of the march of the
landlord and farmer troop to suppress the meeting ; that
the labourers of the district had subscribed to pay eleven of
their body to attend the meeting, who should act as half-
hourly scouts, to report progress ; and concluding by stating
their intentions in ease of any murders being committed.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,

He was most anxious, when their first Dock was opened,
to have a ship of his own brought in, but he understood
that he would be disappointed, for a ship was about to be
built on purpose, called the Southampton, which would be
ready before the Dock-gates, and which would pluck the
laurel from his brows.—(Laughter and cheers.) After pro-

NEV COURT.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT HOTELS AND LODGING-HOUSES.
—Etienne Hubert, a young Frenchman, whose case has
lately been published in the Guildhall police reports, was in-
dicted for stealing bank notes of the ♦aluc of 601., the pro-
perty of James Stevens, in the dwelling-house of Mr. Brough,
of the Rain Inn, Smithfield. There were six other indict-
ments of a similar r.,..ture, charging the prisoner with stealing
jewellery, apparel, and money, to a considerable amount.
The prisoner, was infor.ned of the nature of the
charges, by Mr. Jerringham, a barrister, to three of which be
pleaded guilty. The other indictments were not read, as by
his pleas the ends of justice were answered.
The prisoner addressed the Court in French, when the
Common Sergeant told him he need not attempt to bam-
boozle the Court, who were aware that he understood the
English language thoroughly.
Sergeant Waller, No. S, City Police, said an immense
quantity of property was in his possession, which bad been
found upon the prisoner, which was partly owned by persons
named in the other indictments.

The COPRT told him he was an intelligent officer, and he
would deliver it to its rightful owners.
The prisoner was then sentenced to be transported beyond
the seas for the term of fifteen years.
Ann Evans, a person who has been tried here four or five
times during the last few years, was indicted for stealing a
watch, two seals, a gold chain and guard, the property of
John Julian.

The prosecutor, a gentlemanly dressed man, stated that on
the night in question being " overtaken" by liquor, he
" overtook" the prisoner, and went home with her ; but whe-
ther he went to bed there he did not know.—( A laugh.)
When he got away and he came to himself he missed his
property.
A pawnbrnker produced the property, which was pledged
by the prisoner, who said it was her uncle's.
The prisoner, with great sang froid, said the gentleman
dropped the watch, and she pledged it for security.—( A
laugh.) She then resorted to her thrice previously told
tale—that she had only been from Scotland three months.
The Jury, to the utmost surprise of the Court, acquitted her.
The COMNION SERGEANT said this was the fourth time she
had imposed on Juries.

PARTICULARS OF BOLAM.

We have not been able to gather much information re-
lative. to Mr. Bolam ; but we are given to understand that
before he obtained his appointment in the Savings'-bank,
he had practised some time as a teacher, in which capacity
he was engaged in Mr. Bruce's school, in Percy-street,and
subsequently as master of the Royal Jubilee School in this
town. He has held a situation in the Savings-bank up-
wards of sixteen years, and a very high opinion had been
formed of him by his employers. He appears to be about
forty years of age. He is a native of Harbottle, near
Rothbury, and has a brother residing there in good cir-
cumstances.

On Saturday morning a serious accident occurred
in Covent-garden Market to one of the porters, which was
attended with fatal consequences. It appears that the un-
fortunate man was carrying a heavy load of vegetables on
his head, when he slipped down and fell violently, in doing
which he ruptured a blood-vessel, the blood flowing from
him in great quantities. He was removed to Charing-cross
Hospital, where he expired shortly after.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
The second session of this Court, of the present Mayoralty,
was opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Sergeant Arabin, the Sheriff, and
other City Officers.

The Grand Jury having been sworn,
The RECORDER said he was happy to say that it would
be unnecessary for him to trouble them with any length-
ened observations. Though in the short interval which
had elapsed since the last session, there had come in for trial
150 cases, he was happy to say there were none of them of an
aggravated nature, nor so far as he had been able to learn from
the depositions did the calender contain any case which called
for any observations from him ; he apprehended that in none of
the cases would any difficulty upon any point of law arise.
It might be almost needless to inform them that no bill could
be returned to the Court unless it had the concurrence of at
least twelve of them ; and if they wished it they would have the
able assistance of the intelligent officer of the Court, who sat
below him (Mr. Clark) who had been placed at the disposal
of the Grand Juries at the last meeting of the Judges. He
did not apprehend they would have any difficulty in any of
the cases, but as Mr. Clark would attend them with the de-
positions which had been taken before the Magistrates, h.
would be enabled to suggest which of the witnesses ought to
be first called, and so save much of their time. He would
also, by being provided with the depositions, prove a great
check upon witnesses, and prevent the ends of justice from
being defeated by tampering. With these few observations,
he would allow them to proceed to their duty.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1838.

Noble Earl was, that they feared if the Whigs were turned
out he would be enabled to step into the shoes of the lat-
ter, to the exclusion of the former. He was of opinion
that the Radicals of Westminster, as a party, should
not interfere in a scramble between thieves.—(Laughter
and cheers.) He had not as yet heard any thing from
the Earl of Durham, that showed him more liberal than
the Members of the present Administration. Lord Durham
had acted with Government in the views they had taken
up to the time of his appointment to the Governor-Gene-
ralship of Canada. Did he not support Government
in carrying all their measures, no matter how illegal, in the
House of Lords ? Did he support Lord Brougham in his
advocacy of Vote by Ballot ? The real truth was, Lord
Durham wished now to make a catspaw of the Liberals.
Did they think they could get anything from Lord Dur-
ham ? Did they think they could get anything from any
of the aristocracy ? Never. If the question of the Ballot
were brought forward to-morrow in the House of Lords,
he ventured to say Lord Durham would be as silent as
the grave with respect to it.—(Hear, and No.) What
would Lord Durham say when he saw six or seven of them
waiting upon him with an address, and forming a deputa-
tion from that political body who opposed his going out to
Canada, and deprecated the passing of the Act that vested
in him despotic power? Why, he would laugh at their
inconsistency.—(Hear, hear.):
Mr. M‘LEon said it was difficult to confide in any public
man ; but he thought Lord Durham worthy of their con-
tidence.—(Hear, hear.) He would not say a word about
this Noble Earl's Administration of the affairs of Canada.
He considered all public men great humbugs, but Lord
Durham was as small a humbug as could be found among
them.—( Hear, and laughter.)
Mr. C. SMITH supported the address, as he conceived
th effect of it would be to elicit from Lord Durham
opinions and perhaps a statement more explicit than he
had as yet made as to the line of conduct he intended to
pursue.—(Hear.)
A good deal of discussion ensued ; finally Mr. Kemp's
amendment was put and negatived.
Mr. PROUT moved that the address he had read should
be presented to Lord Durham.
Mr. KEOGH seconded the motion.
The CHAIRMAN read the address to the meeting, which
appeared in The Sun of Thursday last.
Mr. KEur said he did not rightly understand the words
" factious misrule" (in the address).
Mr. PROUT—By that expression I mean the two great
factions of the country, whose object is the plunder of
the people.

Mr. k.ENIP—If so, you may add Lord Durham and
his partisans as a third plundering faction.—(Hear, and
laughter.)
The address was then put from the chair and carried by
a large majority. A deputation having been appointed to
wait with it for the purpose of presentation on the Earl of
Durham, the meeting, after a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man, separated.

LAMBERT V. COLMAN.

This action was similar to the last. The servant of the
defendant was alleged to have driven his omnibus against
the gig of the plaintiff as he was returning home to Clap-
ham. The defence was accident. Verdict for the de-
fendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEc. 15.
STEINMELLER V. NEWTON.
The facts of this case, with the arguments of Counsel
thereon, were published in The Sun of Saturday. The
evidence, which was proceeding when we went to press,
having closed, the Learned Judge summed up, and the
Jury returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
5001.

P OLIOE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Emma Reid and Selina Colebeck, who were charged on a
previous day with having defrauded several servants of
sums of money, by pretending to deliver parcels of fruit and
preserves for their masters, were brought up for further
examination on Saturday.

There was not a tittle of evidence to support the charge
against Mrs. Read, a person of proved respectability. She
was of course discharged.
The other prisoner was committed for trial.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(T1115 DAY )

lihis being the Seal, the Vice-Chancellor took motions,
but no case of interest came before the Court previous to our
Reporter's leaving.

EQUITY EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY)

IN RE BIRMINGHAM AND GLOSTER RAILWAY.
This was a petition presented by the Rev. Mr. Lawson,
Perpetual Curate of the chapel of Moseley, praying that thy:
sum of 1,0001. which had been paid by the Birmingham and
Gloucester Railway Company, for certain property, might he
invested, and the dividends paid to him, so long as he should
continue curate of that parish.
The Counsel for the petitioner, in answer to questions by
the Court, admitted that no affidavit had been filed, stating
that the land which had been sold was part of the property with
which the chapel was endowed.
Lord ABINGER said that he could make no order until that
fact appeared upoti affidavit.

MELVIN V. ELWOOD.
Mr. RICHARDS moved that the injunction granted on this
case to restrain the defendant Elwood from taking proceed-
ings at law, be extended until another defendant named Ship-
stone sheuld file an answer to the plaintiff's bill. The bill was
filed by the underwriters at Lloyd's against the defendant El-
wood, who effected a policy of insurance on behalf of the other
defendant on a vessel named the James then on a voyage
from China to Singapore, and thence to London. The
ship was lost during the voyage, and Elwood commenced an
action to recover the amount of the policy as for a total loss.
It was pleaded in reply to the action that the voyage
was an illegal one, and that a consider able quantity
of the goods had been paid for by the shippers,
&c. ; and the affidavits stated it to be necessary
for the plaintiff to have such a discovery as was prayed for in
the bill, and that certain papers might be produced, before
they prodeeded to the trial of the action. He now moved
that the injunction which had been granted might be continued
until the parties interested put in their answer.
Lord ABINOER granted the application.

TEA SALE-(THIS DAY.)

As this sale progresses, the difficiety of keeping up the prices in.
crease; and their tendency is still dovrnwards. Very little, indeed, is
sold ; and the sal, is expected to finish this week. The attei.dance of
the trade continues fair.

OIL MARKED.

There was no change last night ; a better demand for most sort of
Fish Oils. The animation is sustained to-day, and prices are full as
high as ever they have been since the fire. Cod is quoted at 441. to-
day ; Southern, 311. to 37/. ; Sperm, 801.; Pale Seal, 46/. ; Seed Oils
are unaltered, but in good demand.
COLONIAL MARKETS—(THIS DAY.)

There is not that life in these markets that was expected. Every
branch is at present very steady, and nothing whatever doing for specu-
lation. British Plantation Sugar continues dull, and priced without
variation. Up to when we lett, the market, ranging from 60s. 6d. for
Brown; 653. 665. for middling, up to 635. for fine.
The stock is 17,877 hhds. and tierces, against 30,945 at this time last
year. This deficiency does not arise from less imports, but from
greater consumption.

Refined Sugar still fetches 38s. 6d. to 395., for fine crushed. East
India and Foreign are without variation.
MAURITIUS.—There was a sale today of 4,164 bags, which was pro_
greasing when we left ; prices then were from, 545. to 58s. for brown,
and 58s. 6d. to 663. for low and fine yellow.
COFFEE of all kinds continue at former prices, except Brazil, which
is lower. We have no public sales to.day; but by private contract
there is a good business doing.

The stock of B. P. is 3,360 casks, 1,242 barrels and Lags; Ceylon,
26,241 bags ; Mocha, 6,076 bales; Brazil, 25,433 bags.
SPICES.—The only commodity in which anything is doing is Pepper,
and prices are looking up..

Mr. Ilium dismissed the complaint, observing that it was
an offence under a subsequent Act.
Anne Pitt and Anne trawler/, mother and daughter, were
charged with assaulting Mary Taylor, an infirm old woman.
They were locked up in default of payment.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN. 2.

The demand for Cotton to-day has been only to a moderate extentj
the transactions do not exceed 1,600 bags, and a reduction since Friday
of Ad. per lb. has been submitted to. The rates may now be considered
fully 4d. per lb. lower than the highest figure quoted during the past
three weeks, the sales were chiefly in American descriptions at 7id.
to Bd. We do not find any arrivals at Liverpool from the Brazils.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

•
We have no arrivals this morning of the least importance, with the
exception of the French mail and an express from Paris; consequently
the current report which prevailed yesterday afternoon and which caused
a panic in the Brazilian Stock (with a fall of I; to 6 per cent.) must have
been an invention for some stock.jobbing purpose,
London, England, 1838-01-03

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.

The importations of Grain since our notice of Friday's business are
somewhat limited, but the arrivals of Oatmeal and Flour are abundant.
On yesterday and Saturday several transactions were effected in
Wheat, the prices of which were slightly in favour of holders, but no
change occurred either in the demand or value of other articles.
There was a fair muster of town and country dealers as well as
millers at this day's market, who bought rather liberally of Wheat.
Some extensive sales were made in both new and old Irish, at an improved
figure, say 2d. per 701bs. more than could have been obtained Friday last.
Barley and Malt remain stationary as to value, but the demand is brisker ;
the same remark applies to Beans and Peas. Flour also met a fair sale,
at Is. per sack advance on late rates. Oatmeal likewise ascended in
price Oct per 9.401b5., and this article, as also Oats, were taken off the
market freely.

Victoiy, ordinary guard-ship ; Excellent, gunnery-ship ; Modeste, 18 ;
Nautilus, 10; Pantaloon, 10; Apollo, troop-ship; Fanny, Emerald, and
Gossamer, tenders.
In Dock—The Royal George yacht.
In the Basin—Atholl, troop-ship; and Termagant, a new brig.
At Spithead—Thc Lily, 16.
Arrivals and Sailing of Men of War daring the Week—On the 25th
the Modeste. IS, and Lily, 16, anchored at. Spithead. 26th, Modeste
came into harbour; arrived from the north coast of Spain, the Panta-
loon, 10, and the Meteor steam-vessel, from the Eastward. 28th, sailed
the Mt teor, for Plymouth and Falmouth.
A remarkably fine brig, called the Termagant, was launcbed from
this dock-yard on Monday last. She is now in the basin for commis.
atoning. A Lieutenant Williams is appointed to her. The coast of
Africa, it is presumed, will be her destination.
The Modeste, 18, and Lily, 16, returned to Spithead on Sunday from
their trial cruise. The Lily had the best of it, completely beating the
Modeste on the test of point-sailing "on a wind," but going " free" the
Modeste had the advantage. Another trial is spoken of, and the Mo-
dest.' has come into harbour to alter her trim, and restow. It would be
but fair to allow the Lily to come in and put herself to rights.
Captain Peter J. Douglas, late in command of her Majesty's ship,
Melville, has been appointed to the Magnificent, at Jamaica. He
will, it is said, hoist a broad pendant as a Commodore of the 2d Class,
and attend to the duties of the dock-yard establishment.

The baggage belonging to the Guards arrived this morning in two
lighters, and has been deposited in the Dock-yard.
It is still unknown here who is to command the Britannia, vacant by
Captain Deans Dondas' acceptance of the Clerkship of the Ordnance.
The appointment of this otlicer has given general satisfaction to the
naval men in this quarter.
