three feet eight inches in height, and stretches some ten
feet six inches from the snout to the tail. Its propor-
tions are symmetrical, and its weight no less than
eighty-four stone ! It is unfed, its food having as yet
been little else but swill.—Stockport Advertiser.
A. FACT.--It is scarcely within the verge of pro-
bability, but it is nevertheless an indisputable fact, that,
on Tuesday last, twelve hundred and a half of fresh her-
rings were bought in Douglas for ono shilling.—Manx
Liberal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Reynolds, residing in Fleet••street, was brought
up in custody from Newgate before Sir P. Laurie,
upon an application that he might be admitted to bail.
Mr. Reynolds was formerly foreman to Mr. Storey, a
tailor in Fleet-street, but he had lately quitted .his
employment, and set up in business for himself in the
same street. A short time since Mr. Storey went
before the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court,
and preferred a bill against Mr. Reynolds, his (Mr.
Storey's) wife, and her sister for conspiracy. Mr.
Reynolds was accordingly taken into custody on
Thursday, and Mr. Storey's wife and her sister were
taken on Friday, and imprisoned in Newgate. On
Friday application was made to bail the wife and
sister, and Sir P. Laurie, on hearing the circum-
stances, gave so strong an opinion on this application
of the grand jury system, that it was agreed that the
two ladies should be liberated upon one surety, which
was accordingly done.
When Mr. Reynolds appeared at the police-court,
Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, stated that he was
provided with two substantial bails —viz , two re-
spectable tradesmen named Wilson and Burt.
Sir P. LAURIE denounced the system under which
Reynolds had been detained, and admitted him to
bail.

William Isaac Finch was brought before Alder-
man Sir P. Laurie, charged with embezzling divers
sums of money, amounting to nearly 8001., from his
employers, Messrs. Morgan, Martyr, and 0., ofFar-
ringdon street, wholesale stationers.
The prisoner had been town traveller to the prose-
cutors, at a salary of 160/. a year, and had held the
situation for several years, in the early portion of
which his conduct had been extremely regular, but
latterly he had exhibited a penchant for indulging in
sporting matters, kept his regular betting-book, and
was an attendant on the various sporting houses.
The prisoner was committed.
MARLBOROUGH-STREBT.
Charles Diltman, the keeper of a coffee-house in
Lisle-street, Leicester-square, and Charles Scholler,
described on the police-sheet as a gentleman, residing
at 51, Fitzroy-square, two Germans, were charged
having attempted to strangle, or seriously injure,
Police-constable Moultan, 174 C, who was on duty
in Lisle-street about twelve o'clock on the previous
night, when he heard the defendants and several
other persons making a disturbance. They refused
to go away, and told him he had no business to inter-
fere with them, as it was not twelve o'clock, and until
that hour they were entitled to make all the disturb-
ance they liked. As they continued to make a dis-
turbance, he asked Scholler to accompany him to the
station-house, and then he would soon learn whether
his conduct was legal. He took hold of Scholler's
collar very gently, and Scholler said he would not go
with him, and he was instantly surrounded by five or
six men, among whom was Dillman, who then
dragged Scholler from him into the shop. Being obliged
to draw his staff in self-defence, he struck Scholler
a blow on the head with it. Diltman forced the staff
from him with great violence, and he was then
dragged by the defendant into a back room, the door
of which was immediately locked. One of the de-
fendants laid hold of his stock, and twisted it so
tightly that the blood rushed from his nose and
ears, and his eyes were nearly forced from their
sockets.
The defendants said they had created no disturbance,
and that they were improperly interfered with and
assaulted by the complainant, who, to save himself
from being reported, took them into custody. The
defendants were then committed for the assault, but
were liberated on bail.

THE RECENT EXPULSION FROM
THE WESLEYAN ME rnomsT; CONNEXION.

On Friday evening a meeting was held in the large
room at Exeter-hall, for the purpose of hearing the
Rev. Messrs. Everett, Dunn, and Griffith make
statements explanatory of their recent expulsion from
the ministerial office by the Wesleyan Methodist
Conference. The meeting was a densely crowded
one, and the rev. gentlemen, when they made their
appearance on the platform, were received with the
most enthusiastic applause. The proceedings having
been opened with prayer and praise,
Mr. J. KAY; who was called to the chair, briefly
explained that the meeting had not been called for
the purpose of discussion, but in order to hear state-
ments from the ministers who had been expelled from
the Conference. He hoped that the meeting would
preserve order, and support the authority of the chair.
The Rev. S. DUNN said that he and his brethren
did not dread the closest investigation, nor would they
shrink from discussion at any suitable time and place
with the president and secretary of the Conference, if
the doors were allowed to be open. Mr. Everett had
laboured for 43 years, he himself for 30 years, and
Mr. Griffith for 23 years as Wesleyan ministers.
Yet they had been expelled by the Conference
from the Wesleyan Society, deprived in consequence
of their incomes, and degraded in the eyes of the
Christian public. No charge was made against them
of preaching false doctrine, or neglecting their duty,
and they had been excommunicated because they re-
fused to answer an unfair and inquisitorial question.
Four years ago a new publication called Flying
Sheets made its appearance, of which the meeting
would not expect him to confess that he was the
author, because not one of the 500 members who
voted for his expulsion had any evidence to prove
that he wrote a line therein. The authors of the
Flying Sheets, while avowing their attachment to
Methodism, found some defects in its administration,
and especially in the department of the Mission-
house. This excited the wrath of the influential men
of the connexion, and a method was devised for find-
ing out the authors. Two years ago, at the Liverpool
Conference, Mr. Osborne proposed as a test that a
declaration should be signed by every minister in the
connexion, to the effect that those subscribing it
viewed with indignation and abhorrence the anony-
mous attacks made on the motives and character of
the brethren in a recent publication entitled
Flying Sheets. He (Mr. Dunn) entered his
protest against this proceeding, and refused, with
many others, to attach his signature to the declara-
tion. So strong was the opposition which it provoked
that at the Hull Conference, twelve months ago, no
mention was made of the test, and it was thought that
the thing had ended. The Rev. Mr. Dunn then pro-
ceeded minutely to explain the inquisitorial proceed-
, ings subsequently adopted in the case of the Rev.
Daniel Walton, the Rev. James Everett, and the
Rev. John Burchell. He gave an account of the
manner in which the test had been revived and strin-
gently applied, and of the charges which were brought
against those gentlemen, himself, and Mr. Griffith,
for refusing to sign it, or to answer inquisitorial
questions addressed to them by Dr. Bunting and
other influential members of the Conference. The
Rev. Mr. Walton was deposed from his superintend-
ence and admonished from the chair. The Rev. Mr.
Everett was expelled from the Conference, and the
Rev. John Burchell was sentenced to be admonished,
He (Mr. Dunn) and the Rev. Mr. Griffith, having
strenuously opposed these tyrannical proceedings, were
the last victims marked out. No specific charges
were adduced against them, and they were expelled
for refusing to answer " yes" or " no" the question of
the President whether they were the authors of
the Flying Sheets. They might have avoided ex-
pulsion by complying with the following conditions,
which, however, they declined to do :-Ist, to stand at
the bar of the Conference and be censured by the
Chair ; 2d, to be deposed from the superintendence ;
3d, to discontinue the Wesley Papers; 4th, never to
write another letter in the Wesleyan Times; sth,
never, in public or private, to express any objection
to the law of 1835, and especially anything condem-
natory of the application of that law to the expulsion
of James Everett. If he (Mr. Dunn) had complied
with these conditions his character would have been
degraded for ever, and he could never have exercised
any influence in the circuits to which he might be
sent. He and Mr. Griffith had refused to accept such
conditions, and they had been expelled.
Mr. EVERETT then proceeded to address the meet-
ing. He described the test alluded to by Mr. Dunn
as a man-trap, intended to protect the Wesleyan pre-
serves in the metropolis. He denounced the abuses of
Methodism which had arisen, and whereby snug seats
were reserved for all the lay and ministerial aristo-
crats of the connexion. He declared that his case
had been prejudged, that his sentence was tyrannical
and unjust, that he had been singled out as a victim,
and he pointed out the full effect of the expulsion
which bad been pronounced upon him by the Con-
ference. He concluded by declaring his unaltered
and unalterable attachment to the principles and doc-
trines of Methodism as laid down by John Wesley.
The Rev. Mr. GRIFFITH followed in the same strain,
and the proceedings closed at a late hour with the
adoption of the following resolutions :
" Resolved—That this meeting having heard the state-
ments of the Rev. Messrs. Everett, Dunn, and Griffith,
relative to their expulsion from the Wesleyan connexion,
and being satisfied as to the truth of their statements,
regard the acts of the Conference as equally at variance
with:theancient rules and established usages of Methodism,
and with the principles of the New Testament; and, in
testimony of their sympathy, hereby express their deter-
mination to support the expelled individuals in their
future labours as ministers of the Gospel
" That, in the judgment of this meeting, the proceed-
ings of the Conference being in direct violation of the
essential principles of civil and religious liberty, justify
the Wesleyan community in taking into their immediate
3onsideration the best means of restraining that body
from pursuing a career of intolerance and exclusiveness
dangerous to the best interests of the connexion; and that,
therefore, some gentlemen be requested to act as a com-
mittee to correspond with all the circuits in Great Bri-
tain, and ascertain whether the opinion of the societies
is favourable to an aggregate meeting of delegates for
the purpose of deliberating upon the present crisis of
affairs, and that the said committee be empowered to
receive subscriptions."

ACCIDENT TO DR. J. G. HARRISON.—Between
six and seven o'clock on Thursday evening, an accident
which might have been attended with fatal results oc-
curred to Dr. J. G. Harrison, of Piccadilly, and his
lady, whilst returning in their gig from Chorlton-cum-
Hardy, whither they had been to visit a friend. On
reaching Chorlton-lane, Dr. Harrison overtook and
passed a covered grocer's van, which was being driven
towards Manchester, and as the driver, who was seated
inside, seemed more anxious to protect himself from the
heavy rain then falling than to pay attention to the rules
of the road, Dr. Harrison was so circumscribed for room
to pass that he slightly grazed the van with the wheels
of his gig. No sooner had he passed the va❑ than the
driver called after him in very abusive terms, swearing
he would take off one of his wheels, and putting his
threat into execution, he urged on his horse, passing Dr.
Harrison on the wrong side, and smashing off the near
side wheel of the gig close to the axle. The conse-
quence was that both Dr. Harrison and his lady were
violently pitched out of the gie., and both more or less
injured, Mrs. Harrison sustaining several severe bruises,
besides being stunned and rendered insensible for some
time. Dr. Harrison was fortunately thrown into a soft
ditch, and received only a trifling injury. Though
aware of the accident he had caused, the brutal author
of it never stopped to render any assistance, but, as.
though he deemed the matter a capital joke, drove off
at fail speed. His name, we believe, is John Lan-
caster, in the service of Mr. Myott, grocer, Oxford-
street, and probably ere our next number he will have
been taught the folly of his conduct at the police-court.
We may state that Mrs. Harrison is much better since
the accident than might have been anticipated.—Max-
chester Courier.
