PRISON DISCIPLINE.-1 HE SILENT SYSTEM.—An in-
teresting letter, received during the present week from
Stockholm, states that the six cellular (solitary con-
finement) prisons, built by order of the Governmentil
different parts of the kingdom, have just been termi
nated. These prisons can contain from 400 to 800 pri-
soners. They will be occupied during the course of
next month. The following are the prominent features
of the regulations of these prisons.—The prisoners
are not to be allowed to speak to each other.
Even while taking their only exercise, in an enclo-
sure, strict silence is to be observed. This exercise
is to be allowed them daily, and is to last half-an-
hour; a longer time may be conceded to sick pri-
soners, on the demand of the doctor, and with the
sanction of the governor of the prison. If a prisoner
wishes to make a complaint, he can only do so during
the time of exercise. Ile must then step forward and
raise his hand ; upon this one of the guardians will
listen to what he has to say. The prisoners are to re-
ceive the daily visit either of the clergyman, the doctor,
or some special person appointed for the purpose. These
visits are never to exceed twenty minutes. The prisoner
in his conversations with the functionaries of the prison,
who are the only persons be is allowed to converse with,
must always speak in an under tone. Each cell is to be
provided with a book on religion, and is furnished with
a bell, so as to enable the prisoner to call for help in
case of illness. Divine service is to be performed in the
corridors. During the service the door of each cell is to
be opened two or three inches, so as to enable the
prisoners to see and hear the clergyman without seeing
each other. The cells are not to be lighted ; neverthe-
less,tona_
prisoners worthy of lenience may in exceptional
from
cases, and at their own expense receive permissionli. (In Sweden,

• THE FAMI IN IRLAND.
BIRMINGHAM, Move r.—An influential meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham was held in the Town.hall to-
day, with a view to promote a subscription in aid of the fa-
mishing peasantry of Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland.
The Mayor (Mr. Robert Martineau), occupied the chair, and
was supported by a great number of the clergy, gentry, and
leading men of all political parties resident in the town and
neighbourhood. Among those present were the Rev. J.
Garbett (rural dean), the Rev. Sir Christopher Leighton, the
Rev. Sidney Gedge, the Rev. J. C. Barrett, the Rev. J.
Spooner. the Rev. R. Cope, the Rev. D. Moore, the Rev. C.
Hume, the Rev. S. F. Morgan, and the Rev. R. Kennedy (of
the Established Church), the Rev. J. A. James and the Rev.
J. C. Roberts (Independents), the Rev. Thomas Swan
(Baptist), the Rev. H. Hutton (Unitarian), the Rev. Dr.
Raphael (Jewish Rabbi), Mr. James Taylor, of Mosely-
hall ; Mr, James Moillett, of Selby; Mr. W. Chance, jun.,
Mr. R. T. Cadbury, Mr. John Cadbury, Dr. Best Davies, Mr.
Thomas Lane, high bailiff; Mr. John Aston, Mr. James
Bourne. &c.
Mr. J. TAYLOR, after a short speech, moved the following
resolution :
" That the calamitous famine which has for some time
existed in many parts of Ireland. and to some extent in the
Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and which is proved by
recent acconnts to be rapidly on the increase in the former
country, demands tile warmest and most active sympathy of every Christian anlrbenevolent heart."
The Rev. J. Gaenerr seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
The Rev. J. A. JAMES moved, and Mr. Alderman JAMES
seconded, the following resolution :
" That the town of Birmingham, as connected with Ire-
land, more particularly by commercial ties, is peculiarly
called to sympathy and exertion to alleviate to the utmost
of its power, the destitution now prevailing in that part of
the `United Kingdom."
The motion was carried unanimously.
The Rev. J. C. MILLER moved, and the limn BAILIFFSS.
conded, the fi,llowing resolntion :
" That while this meeting rejoices in the hearty and gene-
rous response made to the appeal of the ministers of various
denominations of Christians in the town, and also in the suc-
cess of many private exertions, it nevertheless considers that
the emergency of the case demands further and more general
effort, and that a public subscription be now opened.
This resolution also being carried unanimously, a commit-
tee was appointed to carry their objects into effect.
The meeting during the proceedings, in addition to the
speakers already named, was addressed by the Rev. Sir C.
Leighton, the Rev. H. Hutton, the Rev. T. Swan, the Rev,
J. Roberts, and other speakers.
The subscriptions announced amounted to nearly 1,0004
Among the donors were Mr. J. Taylor, 1001.; Mr. J. Sturge, •
1001.; Mr. Moillett, 1001.; Mr. Boddington, 1004; Chance
and Brothers, 1001.; Chance and Son, 501. These amounts,
added to 3,5001. already subscribed in Birmingham, make a
total of 5,500/. Hopes are entertained that it will ultimatebr,
reach 10,0004 •
The meeting broke up shortly after three o'clock.

FEMALE ECONOMY.—A wealthy farmer's daughter,
residin,, within two miles of Todmorderx, called a few days
ago at the shop of a respectable wholesale grocer in this
town, and requested to be shown his samples of sugars. Im-
mediately samples of various qualities were presented to her
for inspection, when she very modestly inquired the price
" per cwt." of the quality upon. which she had fixed. On
being told, she then, in the true spirit of an economist and
speculator, requested that be would forward two large hogs-
heads to her residence (a well-known house in this neigh-
bourhood), an order which was indeed cheerfully accepted
by the white-apron'd grocer. The money she said would be
paid to him on the receipt of the sugar, and she further
desired that be would take along with him a wheelbarrow,
for she intended to pay him with fourpenny pieces (au
amount exceeding 901.), which she had accumulated &aim the time her Majesty was pleased to authorise the circula-
tion of that convenient species of coin. Would that every
fair daughter of Eve was so well prepared by the savings of
only a few years ! We understand that a great many house-
holders near Todmorden have, during the last week, made
unusually large purchases of this sweet article, from the
notion that a great rise would necessarily follow the Minis-
terial measure which allows the free use of this, article in dis-
tilleries and breweries.—Halifax Paper.
CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.—STEAM AGAINST
WIND.--.The luggage train of the Nort:a Western Railway,
which usually leaves Manchester at seven o'clock every
evening, arrived at the Ileaton Norris station, on Monday
night, at twelve, when divers " s;nuntings" were rendered
necessary, a "break" (as it is ter.med) and another waggon
having been left on the main line while this arrangement
was completed. At this time the wind was very high, and
Old Boreaa mounting in front, went at a rapid and accele,
rated speed down the incline towards M.,nctiester. Young
Steam seeing this, employed his full power, comnrinced
a chase to recover the waggons so surreptitiously
abducted, propelling his train before him ; but Old
Boreas was victorious, having` reached the winning
post at Levensliulme in gallant style, . and dis-
tancing his grunting antagonist. They returned to
Stockport at half-past one; and here another obstruction
and delay presented itself. Owing to the train having been
delayed two- and-a-half hours, the water in the boiler was
nearly exhausted ; and, to mend matters, men were
employed laying down a new crossing, so that there
was no passage to the water tank on the down line, as
it is called. Here Billy was ir. a fix, for he could not
budge an inch without water, no more than Boreas
could have heated steam in the chase just related, without
wind. lie could tie more work without his regular pots,.
tion than a London drayman his porter. Well, what was
to be done without a fresh supply ? Billy was so thirsty
that he could not work, and therefore he was obliged, as a
Bernier ressort, to leave his train in the charge of the signal-.
MCI, while he went at a sulky pace to regale himself 'at
Chelford, which was the next safe watering place. Here he
appears to have enjoyed himself, for he diel;not return fo „e his
charge until half-past three o'clock A.M., when Billy came
whistling along "right merrilie" to the Stockport 'station.
But, alas ! misfortunes seldom come single, and PAny was
again doomed to encounter another interruption. Trust as he
was crossing at Mr. Sykes's junction, in order 'co take the
head, the tender-wheels ran off the rails, and there it lay

PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—A service of plate, to be
presented to Mr. flouldsworth, the chairman of the Man-

his services in that capacity, has been manufactured by
Messrs. Hunt and Rosked, of Bond-street. The service,
weighs upwards of 3,000 ounces, and is of excellent design
and workmanship. The principal piece is of a,l ornamential
character, being of a triangular form ; around the lower ',Jan
ate figure; of Sir Bootee Peel, Watt, and Mr. G,,,orge
Steple.usen ; the whole is surleounted by a figure represent-
ing science. On one of the pannels is a repret.4entfAtion in
relief of Summit Tunnel. It is a very exquisite piece of
workmanship, and has been modelled under the auperin •
tendence of Mr. Bailey, the Royal Academician. There are
also some very elaborate vases. Altogether it is one of the,
most classic and splendid services yet furnished by Englia'A
manufacturers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 2.
IVILYLNSON C. BEADM.N.
This was an action to recover 211. 7s. Gd. for work and
labour. The defendant denied his liability beyond 151.
The plaintiff is a manufacturing engineer, carying on
business in Crosby-place; the defendant, Captain Beaden,
was formerly an officer in the navy, and was stated to be
a gentleman of great mechanical skill.
It apeared that the defendant had invented a plan, by
which $ person sitting in a carriage Ea*ht, by touching a
xrin& raise or lower top of the vvhicle. and that he em-
y the plaintiff to construct practical model, with
which, it seemed, he was satisfied.
► great number of witnesses were examined. Those on
one side stated that the charge was a fair ens, whilst those
on the other held that it was too high.
The jury, however, found a verdict for the plaintiff for

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Feb. 8.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LOAD CHIEF IlinOß and
Common Juries.)
ALLEN P. SHARPE.
In this cause Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Ogle appeared for
the plaintiff, Mr. Whitehurst and Mr. Pasbley for the
defendant.
The action was brought to recover the value of certain
goods, the property of the plaintiff, which had been seized
by the defendant, in his capacity as collector of taxes.
The question to be decided, which was one of some impor-
tance to the keepers of " commission stables," was, whether
a party holding what are termed commission stables for the
sale of horses, who was not a purchaser of them, but merely
received a commission on their sale, was liable for the pay.
merit of the horse dealer's license.

The plaintiff was the proprietor of the commission stables
in St. Martin's-lane, known as " Aldridge's," and where
sales of horses were regularly made, and until the period of
the sale arrived, the horses intended for sale were kept, but if
not sold at the sale they were returned.
The defendant, being a tax-collector, had charged the
plaintiff with the amount chargeable under the horse-dealers'
linens% and made a claim for the sum of 271. 10s., which not
being paid, defendant put in an execution and seized the goods
of the plaintiff in satisfaction thereof The present action of
replevin was therefore brought.
The Court decided, after having heard the evidence in the
case, that an action in the form of replevin could not be
maintained, and it was finally arranged that a verdict should
be taken for defendant, subject to the case being made special,
for the purposeof coming on for argument before the Court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
The Loma MAYOR, upon taking his seat in the justice-
room, stated, that in consequence of the publication of the
complaint by Mr. Austin, the ',proprietor of 1. eele a Cotlee-
house, of the unauthorised reference made to that establish-
ment by a fellow who advertised fur a wife, he had received
the following letter
"Lytchett-house, Poole, Feb. 2, 184"
" Mrs. G Lordreathed presents her compliments to the Lord
Mayor. She incloses a paper which will evince how unfor-
tunate it is for the poor woman that a paragraph has found
its way into a paper so extensively read as the Times, giving
a report of his Lordship's mentioning that Corder btained
his wife through an advertisement. It was natural the
Lord Mayor should allude to the circumstances, as it is men-
tioned in the trial in the ' Annual Register' of 1828. It
true, the poor widow has paid the penalty ' • but it is
thought to have been an aspersion upon the widow by a near
relative of the murderer, in order that be should not be en-
cumbered by her and her unfortunate son. Every inquiry
has been carefully made, and the highest character la given
of Mrs. Corder by those in the neighbourhood of Polstead.
She has struggled during nineteen years for her support. At
last everything has been seized and cold, and her mind is be-
come toe unsettled to do anything. The hope is to raise a
sum which will be placed in the hands of a careful and well-
known person, who will dole it ouo for the maintenance of
Mrs. Corder and her son.
"Nothing can tend ao much to destroy the impression at
present made upon the public as the Lord Mayor and some
of his friends kindly affording an addition to the subscription
open at Hatchard's."
The paper enclosed by Mrs. Greathed is as follows:
" Appeal on behalf of Mrs. Mary Corder, widow of William
;order, who was executed in 1828, for the murder of Maria
Martin. Some ladies, to whom Mrs. Corder is personally
known, and who hare made careful inquiries as to ter history
throughout her life, have (unknown to her) drawn up this
appeal to the sympathy of the public. Mrs. Corder, preli-
m's to her marriage, was a governess, highly respected by
her pupils and their parents. She is now in the deepest dis-
tress, her mind being in some degree affected by her severe
affliction, and being also a sufferer from almost total
Her only son, beep about the time of the discovery of the
murder, is deficient in intellect, and his right side is para-
lysed. They are in want of clothing end means to pro-
cure hod, and of but little occupation. Mrs. Corder
supported end her son for some time by hemming
cravats for a shop, and letting lodgings, bat owing to her state
of health both these rowanss are at an end. The fond
raked will be carefully expended for Mrs. Corder by a com-
petent person.
" Donations will be gratefully received bedeasrs. Hatch and

street,- London ; Mr. Johnstone, 15, Princess-street, Edin-
burgh; Mr. Bowner, George-street, Hastings; Mr. Reeve,
Leamington ; Mr. Simms, Bath."
The list of subscriptions exhibited no more than the total
tram of 51. 17s. 6d.
The Loan Micron said, nothing was further from his ima-
gination at the time he alluded to the circumstance to which
the lady who had done him the honour to write to him re-
ferred, than the idea that the observations he had made would
Piave been prejudicial to an appeal based upon so unques-
tionable a claim upon the sympathies of the benevolent. In
quoting the case, of which he had spoken merely upon the
authority of hearsay, his only object was to caution females
against being attracted by advertisements in newspapers to
form such serious engagements, and he thought he could not
more clearly mark his intention than by instancing what ap-
peared to him to be the strongest of all evidence of the ne-
cessity of peculiar circumspection. Much of the corres-
pondence which Mr. Austin had very properly taken posses-
sion of showed remarkable credulity, and was calculated to
excite unmixed commisseration for the poor girls who were
so eager to venture upon such perils, and he had observed,
that that gentleman had expressed a most decided objection
to the publication of anythihg which might point at any one
of the writers.
A gentleman who was in the justice-room when the
Lord Mayor made the foregoing statement and remarks,
said he had been given to understand that no " matrimonial
inquirers" had been referred to Peele's Coffee-house since
the application had been made to his Lordship on the subject.
The Dann MAYOR said he had felt that the press would
at once put an end to the nuisance. He believed, too, that
through the same powerful and benevolent medium, the un-
fortunate widow, whose case was in every respect one of
most awful calamity, would find some friends. As for him-
self, he should certainly not forget the ingenious, but most
humane suggestion in the concluding paragraph of his fair
correspondent's communication.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday Daniel and Mary Ann Dowling, husband and
wife, the former stated by the police to have been before
