T E EXAMINER NEWSPAPER
ENLARGED.

The much increased and still steadily increasing circulation of
the Examiner calls for an extension of means to make it more
complete as a Newspaper in some of its departments. On Satur-
day next, the 6th of January, therefore, the Examiner will be en-
larged by more than one-fourth of its present size. The additional
space rill be devoted to Literature, the Arts, and Miscellaneous
matter of an amusing or instructive nature, and to a more compre-
hensive detail of the News of the Week. Other features of im-
provement of which the larger space will allow, will be recognised.
The enlarged paper will bind up into a handsome volume, thepages
of the same number (slateen) and retaining. the !Aline proportions as
increase
of present, but on a larger scale, commensurately with the
of more than one-fourtk in the size of the whole sheet. The price
of the enlarged paper will be Sixpence. Orders will be received by
News Agents, or may be addressed (post-paid) to the Publisher of
the Examiner, at the Office, 5, Wellington Street, Strand.

ROLLS' COURT, Dile. 8.

CLOSE V. WILBERFORCE.
Mr. PEMBERTON stated that this was a bill to compel
the defendant, Mr. Wilberforce, son of the celebrated
Member of Parliament of that name, to perform the
covenants of a lease of certain lands at Kilburn and St.
John's-wood, of which l:e was the equitable lessee.
For the defendant it was contended that he was only a
tenant from year to year.
The reply will be pn,ceed,•d with on Monday (this day).

COURT OF COOLY ON PLEAS, DEC. 8.
PRII)DY V. LEMAN.
This teas an action to recay.fr 341. for work and labour
done, and materials supplied, brought by a builder against
the defendant, who was the landlord of the Phoenix, a
public-house near Portman-market.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 341.

EXCHEQUER COURT, DEC. 8.
SLANDER.-HARBItiON V. BEVINGTON.

This was an action by the I:laintiff to recover from the
defendant compensation in d.,:mages for the use of slander-
ous words.

Mr. KELLY, in stating the ease to the Jury, said that
the plaintiff was a young man who had set up the busi-
ness of a glue maker, in Bermondsey, about three years
since. Prior to that proceeding the plaintiff had been in
the employ of the defeniant, who, as it appeared, being
much irritated that his former servant should commence
business against him, and in so near a situation to him,
adopted a system of cor duet with a view to effect his
u:timate ruin. The course, therefore, which he had acted
upon was the use of slanderous words, all applicable and
calculated to injure the character and the degree of credit
in a pecuniary point of view to which the plaintiff was
entitled.

Mr. PLATT, on the part of the defendant, dwelt strongly
on the fact of there not having been any evidence brought
forward to prove injury sustained from the plaintiff's own
premises. . _

Lord ABINGER, in leaving the case to the jury, said that
they were bound to award damages for such part of the
slander as was alleged to have been spoken without having
been confidentially demanded.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
one farthing.

UNION-HALL.

Desire Rouselle, the Frenchman who had been accused
of attempting to assassinate the soi doisant Duke of Nor-
mandy, applied to the Magistrates to grant him a certifi-
cate of his acquittal of the charge. The applicant said
that be had applied to the French Ambassador for the
means of returning to France, but that his Excellency had
refused unless he brought him such a.certificate.
The MAGISTRATES said that the applicant had not been ac-
quitted, but cnly discharged for want of proof. If a certi-
ficate to that effect would serve him he might have it.
Rouselle said that, if he were not sent back to France,
he should starve in the streets here, as no one would em-
ploy him.
The BENCH expressed a conviction that the certificate
would effect the applicant's purpose, and he retired.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardener's Gazette.)
Continue operations out of doors ; for planting, altering,
turfing, &c , should be done every opportunity which the
absence of frost affords.

Take off from Auriculas and Carnations such leaves as
turn yellow, and frequently examine, to see that none of the
plants catch the drip, so as to wet the soil they grow in.
The same caution applies to all kinds of plants in pots
and greenhouses. The drip is exceedingly destructive in
winter.

Where a house can be nrovided on purpose, Camellias
may be propagated by budding, grafting, and inarching ;
the plants, as well as the stocks, being placed in the house,
in a temperature of 55 deg. to GO deg., to start them, be-
fore the operation is performed.
Examine the roots of Dahlias, and any which incline to
shrivel or dry much should be immediately potted, and
placed in the greenhouse ; or, if there be none, in a room
where the frost cannot enter. Roots which have not good
tubers are very apt to dry so completely as to prevent their
breaking.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The weather having been moderate, brought up a consider-
able number of vessels at the close of last week, laden with
various kinds of g:Tin and a good quantity of Flour. There
was throughout the week very little change in the trade 11,;:::
the previous Monday. This morning there was a moderate
show of samples of most kinds of Corn fresh up. At
the early part of the market the best parcels of English
Wheat were readily selected at terms fully equal to last Monday,
and the oart of the ir4lOlY being intender condition, sold
heavily at Is. to 2s. peilir,less than the 157vious week. In Foreign,
transactions have been limited, but prices rema,:: firm- Barley
has rather exceeded last Monday's rates for the best
and other qualities have met a fair demand at former quotations.
Boiling Pease are rather lower. Gray Pease maintain their
value, as also do Beans, both old and new. The quantity of
Oats has increased (almost entirely from Ireland) and the
trade is hardly as goOd as last week. In Flour there is no
variation from last report.

pawning, together with the amount of the property ; or, in
default of payment, to one month's hard labour.
Manuel Trent, a man of colour, was charged on suspi-
cion of having stolen two valuable copper-plates, the pro-

of keeping open the said house during divine service on
Sunday morning, the 25th of November last, contrary to

The evidence of a Mr. Gowing, who stated that no other
persons than lodgers were there at the time stated by the
police, was deemed conclusive of the negative, and the com-
plaint was dismissed.

William Brown, a potboy, was charged by Mr. Hogman,
a surgeon, of Coram-street, Brunswick-square, on a charge

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

The supply of cattle to-day was better both as to quantity
and quality than last week. The trade purchased freely, at
fully previous prices, but not higher. The alteration of the
Christmas Market from the 20th to the 17th seems to give
general satisfaction, and a good show is anticipated. The
supply of mutton was equal to the demand, and prices are un-
altered. Veal scarce, and readily bought up at an advance of 2d.
per stone Pork was steady at former prices; Beef, 3s. 4d.
to 4s. 4d. ; Mutton, 3s. 10d. to 4s. 10d. ; Veal, 4s. 4d. to

The arguments appear likely to occupy several days.

UNIOA-BALL.

At the close of the business of the day a lady, of prepos-
sessing appearance, about thirty years of age, followed by a
gentleman, entered the office, and, approaching the Magistrates
asked to be protected from the annoyance of by her hus-
band, from whom she had been separated for the last three
mouths by mutual consent, but who followed her about, and
created great uneasiness. She wished to know if the Magis-
trates could not divorce them ?
The husband sail that, after being married nearly seven
years, his wife preferred the company of a gentleman who
escorted her about to the theatres and places of amusement,
to living respectably at home.
The lady said that her husband's jealousy was without the
slightest foundation., as he well knew ; but notwithstanding
this he had carried thiii feeling so far as to hold up herself
and a mutual friend to ridicule by having the bans of marriage
between her and the gentleman published in the parish
church.

After considerable recrimination on both sides, the Magis-
trates advised that the compiainant and her husband should
appeal to a mutual friend, and abide by his decision, as they
had no Power to interfere.

The Hull Advertiser of Sa•urday last, speaking of
the meeting of the working men in connection with Col. Thomp-
son's speech made on that occasion, and published in The Sun,
justly remarks that—" Although the meeting of the working

OBSERVATIONS on MENTAL ALIENA-
TION affecting INDIVIDUALS in the UPPER RANKS

produce derangement in paupers and psrsons moving in the more
humble spheres of society. Particularly the advantages to be de-
rived from a liberal and social treatment, combined with superior
personal accommodation; to which will be subjoined remarks on the
propriety of a resident medical officer being appointed to all private
asylums, and of his having a fixed salary, wholly independent of
the emoluments of the establishment over which he preside.

GUILDHALL.

A young man, named Joseph Holland, was brought before
Mr. Alderman MAGNAY, ou suspicion of being a common
stealer of poor paver's jackets.
Philip Parish, a City policeman, having heard that several
men working in the streets had been robbed of jackets, and
meeting the prisoner with a large jacket on, detained him on
suspicion. He bad on at the time four labourer's jAckets,
two waistcoats, and two shirts, and in his pocket he found
duplicates relating to four other jackets pawned by him in
Shoreditch.

The prisoner purchased these jackets in P. tticoat-lane,
and got hi,; living by costerm,:,ngering.
The ALDERMAN remanded him till Wednesday.
William Lewis, an aged imp, who keeps a marine store-
shop in Addle-street, Wood-strcrt, was re-examined, charged
with receiving, and Philip Woodland, a porter, charged with
stealing several yards of canvass wrapper, and 221bs of string,

Bow Churchyard.
The prisoners were discharged.

MARY LEBONE.

William Hubbard, a ruffiArly-looking fellow, lately dis-
charged from the Great Western Railway Police, was fined
405., or ono month's imprisonment, for the following brutal
assault unon the landlord of the Mint public-house, Padding.
ton. The conipbmant had a few friends in his private par-
lour, when the prisoner rudely forced his way into the room,
offering for sale some numbers of The Golden Sun; he was
desired to leave the room, upon which he struck the landlord
a violent blow in the mouth, and seizing his hand bit his wrist
in a very savage manner. The prisoner then left the house,
but in tkfew minutes returned again and struck the complainant
a blow on the eye, which felled him to the earth. With great
trouble he was taken into custody.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Mrs. Maybank, of Upper Chapter-street, Westminster,
preferred a charge of assault against her next door neighbour,
Mrs. White, in the following words:—" Please your vorship,
Mrs. Vite has been assaulting me in a most unladylike and un-
delicate manner, and vot is vorser, has nearly killed my
favourite puppy. Bieos the hinnecent young cretur come
permiscous-like into her b ck gardin, she tosses the perty
cretur twenty feet into the hair, and it comes back to me in
a shocking state, quite nonplw,hod." She further said, that
when she complained of the insult offered to her puppy, the
defendant attempted to knock her down. After a great deal
of recrimination, the assault on the complainant was ad-
mitted, and Mrs.
.White was fined twenty shillings.

The information from Lisbon this morning is not of much
importnee, with one exception : a great improvement of late
in the Customs has taken place, which is attributed to the
measures taken to prevent smuggling. The revenue of the
Lisbon and Oporto Custom-house and Excise Offices
amounted to 390 c..ntos, about 88,000/., for last month.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

A young woman, named Briggs, was brought berore Lord
Mowrroan and Mr. RAWLINSON, in the custody of Ryan, a
sergeant of the D division, on the following charge :
Ryan said that so far back as March, 1836, Mr. Vokes, the
proprietor of the Bromley Arms public-house, in Cleveland-
street, Fitzroy-square, informed him that he had been robbed
by a female servant, who absconded with a quantity of napkin:,
sheeting, and oth•~r household linen. Vokes said he shonld
wish him to seek after the thief, and he (the witness) knew
where her father resid •d in Cato-street. All his exertions to
find the prisoner had proved fruitless until yesterday, when he
met her by chance near her father's residence.
The prisoner denied having ever lived at the Bromley
Arms ; but Constable 128 E division, swore that he recol-
lected having seen her when she lived as a servant there, pre-
vious to the time when the robbery was committed. She was
remanded, until the attendance of Mr. Vokes, who is at pre-
sent in Cheshire.

- -
A lad named Benjamin Smith was committed for three
months to the House of Correction for stealing a quantity
of lead and ii on work from an uninhabited house in the
New.road. He was discovered by a man named Tatham
about half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning. The pri-
soner effected his esc.ipe from him, but was eventually cap
turd by a policeman, after a long chase, near Fitzroy-square.

The inquiry which has been going on for some
days, into the conduct of the 4th Dragoon Guards, in re-
gard to an affray which took place between some soldiers
of that regiment and'the police of Ipswich on the lath of
July last, has terminated in the complete exculpation of the
military. The inquiry was conducted by Sir Charles
Dalbiac, who was much complimented at the conclusion of
the trial for the manner in which he had conducted it.
A SELF-ACCUSER.—At Guildhall Police-office
yesterday a good-tempered, stout little gentleman, whose
name was understood to be Hughes, stepped up to the
table, and begged to be allowed to pay the fine of five shil-
lings for being drunk. The sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alder-
man Magnay, asked if he meant to lay the information
against himself? Mr. Hughes replied, precisely so. He
felt that he was positively' drunk. " Then I adjudge you,"
said the Alderman, to pay a fine of five shillings, and let
me recommend you to go quietly home." " I shall endea-
vour to do so," said the gentleman, and having paid the
tine, he bowed and retired, amid,t the laughter of the
spectators.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
MANCHESTER, TEN O'CLOCK, THURSDAY EVENING.
This morming 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 ef-
fected without the least uproar, or even suspicion, till the
thing was effected. He was conveyed to Worsley 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
srech (which has not, that I am aware of, appeared
in any Journal) was untisudly piquant. Whether the
examination will be private I cannot say ; but if not,
3on 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, folmerly occupied as .an under-writer's
room, for the practical demonstration of the statements
male by Mr. Cobden, Mr. Greg, and Mr. J.
J. 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 juxtapo-
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
lye th?ir foundation in fact ; or whether they are
m.•re chimeras. Were no other result to rise out of
the late discussion, than the exhilLtion of the various
productions of our manufacturing rivals, with the
value of each article attached—and such should prove
the means of giving t. 3 the operative and the capitalist
a just notion of what is passing i❑ the manufacturing
world—such information will he invaluable, inasmuch
as it would remove ail f4lse 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 akA infallible demonstration. •
