MEETING OF THE CROYDON RE-

FORM REGISTRATION SOCIETY.

Yesterday a very numerous meeting of the Croydon Reform
Registration Spciety, and the Liberal electors of rEast Surrey
took place at Croydon. WILLIAM LEVESON Gowan, Esq.,
took the Chair.

Mr. O'Connell arrived soon after the dinner had commenced,
and was received in the most enthusiastic manner. After the
usual loyal toasts,

The CHAIR:I,IAS gave " Lord Melbourne an I her Majesty's
Ministers." They (the Reformers), w ben they looked at what
the Government had done, should recollect the obstacles they
had to encounter, and the difficulties they had to contend with
—and great allowance should be made for them.—The toast
was drank with great applause.
Mr. HARDY proposed the health of the Earl of Lovelace
and the Liberal noblemen of the House of Peers. Many
gentlemen might not know who the Earl of Lovelace was,
but they all knew Lord King, and that nobleman had by the
especial favour of her Majesty been raised to the dignity of an
Earl of the United Kingdom. It was gratifying to see that
there was some portion of that House, which might almost be
termed the House of Obstructives, still favourable to liberal
principles. The three Premier Dukes were all friends to li-
beral principles. He hoped to see a change effected in the
conduct of that House, and that they would no longer set
themselves in opposition to the wishes of the people. It was
disgusting to hear the fuss that was made about the Church
being in danger, when every one knew that when a parson
called out the Church was in danger, he meant that his tithes
were in danger. It was the fox-hunting parson who hal
bought his living, that cried out about the the Church being
in danger. He hoped they should soon show such persons
that the Church was really in danger. Ile concluded by pro-
posing " The Earl of Lovelace, and the liberal Me:nbers
of the House of Lords."

The CHAIRMAN next proposed "the health of Mr. O'Con-
nell, and justice to Ireland."—(Tremendous cheering.)
Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and was received with the ut-
most enthusiasm. He had voted for every question when
liberty was concerned. He, therefore, bad some right to ex-
pect that they should assist him in gaining justice for his coun-
try. Ho wished his country to become a portion of theirs.
He wanted to belong in reality to their glorious nation. He
wanted to see a real union, and not a parchment union. He
wanted to have as much liberty for his country as the English
people enjoyed—he did not expect more. . The Session had
passed away, and nothing had been done. He hoped before
long to see the unconstitutional duration of the Parliament
shortened. The Tories were appealing to the prejudices and
the bigotry of the people to further their views. No good
in his opinion could be done without the honest Ballot. The
Tories now consented to give his country Municipal Reform,
but they saddled it with such a high qualification that it
was virtually of no use.—( Hear, bear, hear.) He had
advocated a repeal of the Union, hut he had given
that up, and he now sought to make the Union a real union,
and that it should be based upon adamant. He did not de.
spair of success for the Government ; but if that failed, still he
did nut despair. Seven millions of men could not be made
slaves. He threw not this out as a menace, but he stated the
fact as an honest man should speak to honest men.—( Hear,
hear.) Not only were the great mass of the people in favour of
Justice to his unfortunate country, but there was a being upon
the throne, unsophisticated, unprejudiced, and unbigoted—
who, under the guidance of her excellent mother, had ever
been the friend of liberty, and who. he was sure, would do
justice to his unfortunate country. If they loved and wished
to support the Queen—down with the Tories. If they loved
their Constitution—down with Cie Tories. Mr. O'Connell
concluded by ir;forming the meeting that the Government had
within the week offered him a lucrative appointment, but he
refused to accept it, and preferred to be an agitator for the
benefit of his country. lie soon afterwards retired, informing
the meeting that he was anxious to be present at the discus-
sion that was to take place in the House of Commons, upon
the Sabbath Observance Bill.
Several other gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting,
and the festivities continued until a late hour. •

(ADVERTISEMENT.
TO the READERS of the " NORTHERN
STAR," AND TO THE WORKING MEN OF THE
NORTH OF ENGLAND. .

London, July 3, 1838.
FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN,-At the " Festival" here, to cele-
brate the arrival of " the Dorchester Labourers," I felt it my
duty to speak of The Sun Evening Newspaper, as it seemed
to me to deserve. The week following, my conduct rota;
severely censured in a leading article in the Northern Star.
I at once.bruplied, and, week after week, have been most
anxiously looking for, and expecting the insertion of my letter.
Last Saturday—that is, ten weeks after being sent—the letter
appeared. Here it is, and I respectfully reciuest your atten-
tion to this my defence, of having ventured to say a word in
favour of-(as a vehicle of communication) the only Daily
Paper, now publishing, that will insert any communication
whatever, either explanatory or justificatory, of working men,
without payment.
The delay that has occurred at the Northern Star Office is
my only reason for resorting to this method of addressing
you. I am, Fellow Countrymen,
Your obliged obedient servant,
JOHN CLEAVE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR.
1, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, London.
April 24,1838.
Dcar Sir__l find by the Northern Star of Saturday last, that
you have been pleased to " censure the encomium of Mr. Cleave
upon the Whig Sun newspaper." This in commenting on the
Dorchester procession of fhe previous Monday. Surely,
Sir, when you undertook to thus question my conduct,
you ought to have allowed your readers to judge of what that
conduct had really been. Where is the encomium ? Or
how is it that in holding me up to the myriads of the North,
as having done that which I ought not to do, you did not
allow a little space to at least some of the words I uttered on
that occasion ; however, let that pass.
When the True Sun was incorporated with The Sun, the
" Working Men's Association" appointed three persons to wait
on the Proprietor of- The Sun, to ascertain if he would con-
tinue to afford the seme facilities for publishing addresses or
communicaticns from organized bodies of the Working Men,
as had been afforded by the True Sun. 1 was one of
that deputation ; we were perfectly satisfied with our
reception, and highly gratified with the assurance we received
that so long as we needed the columns of a daily paper, The
Sun should be open to us ; and that faith has been kept—let
the paper testify. Why, Sir, the delegates from Glasgow, on
behalf of the " cotton-spinners," can testify to the readiness
with which Mr. Young attended to every suggestion made in
respect to the report of the great meeting held in the " Mecha-
nics' Institute" here, on behalf of the " Scotch patriots." In-
deed, on every occasion when publicity has been needed, there
has not been the least shrinking from the promise made. Then,
Sir, came the Dorchester procession, during the week pre-
vious to which the whole of the daily press were belching
forth the.r condemnation of all the parties who were labour-
ing to give effect to the entrance of their persecuted friends
into the metropolis. I mistake, there was an exception,
that was The Sun: it published entire the programme;
and more, its Editor cheered on the Dorchester Com-
mittee, and asserted the propriety of the course marked,
with the certainty of every man who joined in the
ranks conducting himself

RayAL INFIRMARY FOR DISEASES OF THE
EAR.A grand Coronation Fete and Breakfast were given yesterday, in
aid of the funds of this meritorious institution, in the gardens of Mr.
Jenkins, in the Regent's.park. The fete was announced to take place at
an hour in the afternoon, but owing to the very unfavourable state
of the early hour
very few persons arrived until four o'c'eck ; those who
had taken tickets no doubt imagining that the festival would be post-
paned.theofwhistler. Although the rain abated, and the afternoon turned out exceed-
ingly fine, the attendance was not numerous, owing apparently to the
prevalence of this opinion. The band of the 2d Life Guards played
several admired overtures to the scanty audience. Other amusements

served up under a spacious marquee in the grounds, under the special
superintehdence of Mr. Bleeders of the London Tavern, who also pro.
vided the wines. Mr. Curtis, the founder of the institution, took occa-
sion to armour
.ce that all the tickets not used yesterday would-be avail-
able for the fete which is to be repeated this day ; and that all those pre
sent yesterday would have the privilege of repeating their visit, and in-
troducing two friends, without any additional charge. Panes George
of Cambridge, who was prevented attending yesterday by the unpropi-
tious weather, is expected to be present this day.
JEALOUSY AND REVENGE.—The following Oc-
currence has recently excit:d touch interest in Vienna ;—" A young
gentleman, hl. Le Baron de H—, a lieutenant of Hussars, of high
family connections, had become desperately enamoured of the femme de
cliambre of his mother. She was a young Sicilian, very beautiful,
and well educated. He employed every means in his power to induce
her to become his mistress; but not successful in this attempt, he
at length offered her his hand and fortune. She still remained in.
exorable, and would listen to none of his proposals, believing him not
to be sincere in his professions of love. He swore solemnly that he
would never break his marriage vow, and producing a poignard, de.
Glared that he would plunge it into his heart rather than be unfaithful
to her, if
she would consent to become his wife. The vehemence
of his declaration touched the heart of Eliza (such was her name),
and she consented to become his Oife. The marriage took place
in February, with every possible outward demonstration of re-
joicing, and the relatives of M. de although not approving of the
marriage, did everything to celebrate the event with eclat. In the he.
ginning of May the officer followed his regiment to Milan. His wife,
who remained at Vienna, took means to have all his movements
watched, and she soon learned that he had formed a connecion with a
young widow, the Marquise de L—, and from that moment she re-
s&,ved upon a deadly- revenge. In the rage of her jealousy she at first
determined to go to Milan for the purpose. She was contemplating this
step, when her husband unexpectedly returned to Vienna with dis-
patches.. The instant he entered the house, maddened with rage and
frantic with excited feelings of jealousy, she flew at him like a tiger,
and plunged the fatal dagger by which he had sworn into his heart. The
husl,autl fell watering in his blond, and was taken to the hospital, where
he is recovering; the unhappy wife was given over to justice, anti is at
present resigned to her situation, but not regretting her crime.
STATE OF TRADE.—There was no change in the
Manchester market yesterday. The demand both fur goods and yarn
was very moderate, and previous prices were barely supported.—Man.
cheater Guardian.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 4.
KEEP V. ABBOT.

This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolls.
The bill was filed for the specific performance of an agree.
merit by which the defendant, according to the allegation of
the plaintiff, was blu td to convey to him a parcel of garden
ground, thirteen yards wide and eighteen yards deep, foe the
erection of a Methodist chapel in the parish of Southwell.
The defendant by his answer admitted the contract to s
but denied that he intended to dispose of more than the
garden itself would measure, and thst, being a livery stable
keeper, he did not, nor could not, have intended to dispose
of, nor did not contract to dispose of, the land in which he
had placed a coachshcd, a manure place, and a pig-stye, these
erections being necessary for the proper conduct of his ksi-
ness- The plaintiff produced evidence to rebut this allega-
tion of the defendant, and endeavoured to prove that the
defendant did intend to include the ground covered by the
buildings in the contract for the sale of the garden. The
Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the plaintiff failed to
make out a case for a specific performance, and gave the
plaintiff the option of having his bill dismissed, or of taking
the ground according to the defendant's reading of the con-
tract. The plaintiff refused the option, and the bill was dis-
missed with costs.

Mr. WmitAm now appeared to support the appeal from this
decree. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that, as the cr.se
now stood, he must simply dismiss the appeal and with coats.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, all'Er 4.
SUTTON V. SOUTHALL.

Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE movecifO;;;linTi;ction to restrain the
defendants, Southall and others, the Directors Gf the Birming-
ham Patent Iron Horse Shoe and Iron Tip and Heel Com-
pany, from continuing the business of the Company, en the
ground of misconduct on the part of the Directors and a total
failure of the object of the Company. His Honour refused the
motion.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Juzr 4.
ALLEN V. WRIGHT.

This was an action for a malicious prosecution. The plain-
tiff, Mary Ann Allen, had lodged in the house of the defendant,
a tradesman in the Waterloo-road, and was living with a mer-
chant, who assumed the name of Gordon, and that on the 19th
of March last, she having previously left these lodgings, after
ten o'clock at night, when she had retired to bed, the defendant
brought a police officer to the house where she then lived, and
gave her in custody upon a charge of felony for having stolen
the feathers out of the bed in her room, which was the pro-
perty of the defendant. Thereupon the plaintiff was taken to
the police station and confined in the felons' cell until the
morning, when she was taken to Union-ball, and after the
charge was preferred, discharged by the Magistrate. To
recover compensation for that injury the present action was
brought.

The jury found a verdict for the plaintifF—Dainages, 51.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jura- 4.
LOEII V. HAGUE.

The plaintiff in this case is an engineer, residing near Dur.
ham, and the defendant a person of the same profession in
London. The complaint made by Mr. Losh was, that in
1837 the defendant infringed a patent obtained by the
tiff for an improvement in the construction of wheels for car-
riages to be used on railroads. Proceedings having been in-
stituted in the Court of Chancery, an injunction was obtained,
for the purpose of substantiating which, and of taking the opi-
nion of a Judge and Jury in a Court of common law, the pre-
sent action was brought. .The Jury gave their verdict for the
defendant.
