BOW-STREET.

. James Vincent was placed'before Mr. Hall, charged
with having stolen eight cigars, the property of Mr.
Simpson, of the Albion Hotel, Great Russell-street.
Wm. Daly, head-waiter at the Albion, stated that on
Saturday evening last he saw the prisoner go up to a
stand and take three cigars, and witness called in a po-
liceman, who searched the prisoner, and five other cigars
were found upon him. The witness stated that he had
reason to suspect the prisoner for some time past, and that
this practice had been carried on to a much greater extent.
Mr. HALL said, in answer to the request of the pro-
secutor, that he could not feel justified in passing over
this offence summarily, as the practice was gaining
ground, and it was necessary, by example, to check it,
he should, therefore, commit the prisoner for trial at the
Central Criminal Court.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The following protocol of the Conference was signed
on July 10, 1841, and is published by the Augsburgh
Gazette :

the difficulties in which his Highness the Sultan
was involved, and which induced him to accept the
aid and support of the Four Powers, are terminated ;
and as Mehemet has fulfilled the act of submisston. to
the Sultan, which the Convention of July aimed at,
so have the Representatives of the Powers signers of
that Treaty, thought fit to recognise and consecrate
the old usages of the Ottoman Porte for preventing
armed ships of war to enter the Straits of the Dar-
danelles and Bosphorus. To give a common and perma-
nent sanction to this, and, at the same time, to give a
mark of the harmony and unity which guide the inten-
tions of the Powers, it is agveed to guarantee this and to
get the Sultan to invite France to join therein. As this
agreement is intended to give Europe a pledge of the
unity of the four Powers, the British Foreign Secretary
has undertaken, in concert with the other plenipoten-
tiaries, to communicate them to the French Government,
and to take part in the arrangements, by which the
Sultan declares his determination to uphold the said
rule, the five Powers on their side making known their
resolution to respect it.

LORD MORPETII.

• ------ _
Defeated in the strife for power,
- In the mid haunt of his renown,
lie proudly brook'd reverse's hour,
And did not wince at fortune's froww.
lie stood with sadness is 14 heart,
At having miss'd an honour'd goal,
But nobly threw all spite apart,
And prov'd the brightness of h 4 soul!

There, in the place of former pride,
Half bumbled with a manly woe,
Dash'd envy's poison'd shaft aside,
To play the fair and generous foe.
To own a rival's triumph grand,
Bow to the gainer of the race.
And give him, with a liberal hand,
The winning courtesies of grace!

While thousands gather'd round to hear
How he would meet his fallen fate ;
Warm, earnest, solemn, and sincere,
He charm'd the men who came to hate!
And, while his lofty spirit shone
All jealous meanness high above,
Bound still more closely to his own
The hearts of those who came to love!

Then, when his eloquence grew still,
And admiration's voice rose loud,
There rush'd the warm and generous thrill
Of kind emotion through the crowd.
And strong, 'mong foes, and friends, as round
The gentle inspiration ran,
All felt that his " farewell" had erown'd
An honoured and honest man !

rtlONalr-TRADE-COVIMERCE.

The accounts of the herring fishery along the coast
of Scotland, from Orkney to Berwick are, on the whole,
favourable. In several places the fishermen have been
more successful than for some seasons.
The Staffordshire iron masters have reduced the
price of iron 10s. per ton.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts con-
tinue gloomy. Prices at Manchester are merely nomi-
nal. At Leeds some business has been done lately, but
at very unsatisfactory-prices ; and at Bradford a mode-
rate amount of business was done last week, but by no
means equal to that of former years at this season.

RICH AND POOR

TO THE EDZTOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,—Your,frequent advocacy of the " Rights of the
poor," and notice of the " Duties of the rich," induce me
to ()tier a few remarks, occasioned by a Discourse in St.
James's Church, Bury St. Edmund's, .on Sunday, the
24th inst. The text.was, " The rich and the poor .meet
together ; the Lord is the maker of them all."—Pro-
verbs, c. 22, v. 2.
While the preacher gave some excellent exhortotions
both to rich -and poor, I was not the only individual pre-
sent who thought the address particularly consolatory to
the wealthier part of the audience, and, judging by ap-
pearances, the number of really poor perions present
was yery small. Could some of the ill-fed and ill-
clothed artizans of our manufacturing districts have
heard the Rev. Gentleman, it is more than probable
that a few would have been desirous to hold a little
plain conversation with him on the subject afterwards.
They might have intimated their sense of the Almighty's
goodness to mankind, and their willingness to join in ex-
pressions !of gratitude for all his mercies ; and while
disinclined to murmur at the dispensations of Provi-
dence, wbuld not hesitate to prove that contentment with
their preSent state would only be another name for in-
difference, were they quietly to allow themselves and
families 'to perish instead of making known their wants
and grievances. They would probably point out to
their wealthier neighbours and the clergy, if they " took
sweet counsel" together in private, many acts of human
beings,, when in power, were very inconsistent with the
doctrine of " human brotherhood," and injurious to the
poor man's welfare, and urge, in the sadly eloquent
manner which their circumstances would call forth,
the necessity of efforts being early made to alleviate
their sufferings, and remove, as far as practicable, the
causes of distress. Nor would it be difficult for. these
humble members of the human family to quote from
the Sacred writings a few trite lessons for the guid-
ance of the rich in their treatment of the poor, and
charge them to remember the important truth, that
"Faith without works is dead."
In conclusion, I take the liberty of suggesting an ap-
propriate text for a future Sabbath: "If thy brother
and sister be naked and destitute of daily trod, - and
ye say to them, depart in peace, be ye warmed, and be
ye 'filled, while ye give them not these things which
are` needful for the body, what doth it profit ?"—James

TAILORS' BILLS.--Sir Walter _Scott was

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Exeter Assizes on Friday, William Major,
a man 74 years of age, was convicted of administering
poison to Thomas Coombs, his son-in-law, his daughter,
and several of their children. The wretched man it
would appear was led to commit the crime fVouT some

petty quarrel he had with his son-in-law, when he said
to him, according to the•evidence of the daughter. '• You
think to have the end with I, but I shall have my end of
thee, and before Saturday night you shall die in .a ditch
like a gipsey. If thee dust not I'll be d—d for it."
The parties were dangerously ill for several days, but
they all survived. The daughter, grand-child, and son-
in-law, were the principal witnesses. Baron Rolfe passed
sentence of death on the prisoner.
At Norwich, William Buck, an agricultural la
bourer, was tried for shooting at Richard Goode, bailiff
and gamekeeper to a gentleman in the neighbourhood of
Little Snaring. The Jury acquitted him of murder, but
returned a verdict of shooting with intent to do the pro-
secutor grievous bodily harm. Sentence deferred.
At Maidstone, on Friday, the Court was occupied
upwards of ten hours in the case Of Thomas v. Bird, and
another. The action was for false imprisonment, and
forcibly taking away from the plaintiff 5001., her pro-
peily. The plaintiff had been housekeeper for eleven
years to an old man of the name of Bird, and alleged
that she had received the money from him previous to
his death, but the jury seemed to be of a different opinion,
and returned a verdict for the defendant.

The Cambrian gives an account of the inquest held
upon the btAy of Joseph Bentley, who was killed by the
collision of the " Merthyr" and " rims" engines, on the
Taff Vale railway. The deceased was the driver of the
latter engine, and the Jnry- were of opinion that he was
the main cause of .the accident, from not having obeyed
the instructions given him.

A singular inquiry took place lately before the
Chancery Commissioners at Dublin, in the case of ..14r.
William Robert Sherlock, a man of property, and son of
Captain Sherlock. He labours under the impression that
his wife was daughter of William IV., and George IV.,
and that he was entitled to the Throne, and consequently
that the Queen is an usurper. He sometimes drives into
Dublin with a coach and four, which has frequently the
addition of an ass. The Jury have pronounced him-
unfit to manage his affairs.

MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE.

The deliveries of Tea for consumption last week
fell off not less than 100,0001bs. This is for London
alone, and may in some measure he accounted for by the
absence of so many persons from town.
—At the cotton sales both at Havre and Hamburgh,
veryllittle has been done, and the holders seem inclined
to sell at some reduction. The price of grain at Antwerp
had risen considerably in the course of last week.

POREIGN.

The Overland Mail, whose arrival at Marseilles was
announced in The Sun of Friday, has reached London.
The intelligence is very meagre upon all questions in
which the public generally take an interest. On the 26th
of May Sir Gordon Bremer left Calcutta for Canton
with considerable re-in forcements. It was reported at
Bombay that the new expedition would be directed against
Pekin. We trust the report is well founded. By com-
pelling the Emperor to shift his quarters a stronger im-
pression will be made upon the fears of the Celestials than
if we laid Canton in ashes, and sunk Chusan in the
Yellow Sea.

The capture of the Bogue forts has been reported
to the Emperor of China. The effect of this news upon
a personage so regally decorous as the "son of Heaven,
brother of the Sun and Moon, and cousin of their little
Highnesses the Stars," as reported by himself, was ra-
ther startling. - It caused him to gnash his teeth "with
combined imprecations." In plain English the Em-
peror not only swore like a trooper, but in his
fist burst of passion he managed to stutter out
a brace of oaths in a breath. The celestial toleration of
the " outside barbarians" is exhausted, and the English
are doomed to utter destruction. The Emperor has de-
creed that England or China must be annihilated.
The ex-King of Cabool, Dost Mohammed, passes
his time very agreeably at the residence of the Governor
General of British India, Lord Auckland.

BAIL COURT, Nov, 9.

Sir Frederick Pollock took the oaths and declaration
as Attorney-General.

PINKNEY V. BOOTH.

In this case, in which Mr. Newton had obtained on
a former day a rule nisi for arrest of judgment,
Mr. Justice PATTESON said that the rule must be
revoked ; first, because having moved in the full Court
for a new trial, on precisely the same affidavits, and
having been refused, it was not competent for the
Learned Counsel to move in arrest of judgment in this
Court. The motion ought to have been made in the full
Court: and, secondly,-bcause a motion in arrest of judg-
ment could only be rilo, on the ground of something ap-
pearing on the face orthi record. Now, in the present case,
the postea had not ye( been returned into Court. The
will, therefore, must iiii,?:4•evoked. The parties, however,
had their remedy. Ittfic grounds as stated, appeared on
the face of the record, a! motion might be made in arrest
of judgment, and if they did not appear on the face of
the record, then they might move in error.—Rule re-
voked.

FREDERICK THE GREAT.---A wink entitled
" Frederick the Great and his Times," is on the point,
we understand, of making its appearance. tinder the dis-
tinguished auspices of Mr. Thomas Campbell. The sub-
ject is one of such romantic interest, historical import-
ance, and intellectual excitement and curiosity, that it
cannot fail to attract unusual attention. We understand
that a large proportion of its personal details (which ex-
tend to nearly all the distinguished individuals with
whom Frederick and his eccentric father came-into con-
tact) will be entirely now to the English reader, being
culled from sources which have only recently been disco-
vered and opened by Continental writers. The.epoch in
question combines in a singular and anomalous manner
the barbarism of the Middle Ages, withthe false refine-
ment, and still falser philosophy, of the school of Vol-
taire and Diderot ; and a just delineation of its features
is still a desideratum which, we understand, the forth-
coating work will furnish.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS.
IMPORTANT CAUTION !
It has been discovered that vile attempts had been made,
and >till are made, to substitute base imitations for the genuine
Medicine ; 11 proof of which, attention is directed to the. fol-
lowing advertisement, which appeared in the " Nottingham
Review,' of January 22, 1841 :
PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
" to undersigned John Cubley, late of Derby, but now
of the town of Nottingham, heretofore a schoolmaster, but
now out of employment, do hereby acknowledge that I have
lately got compounded seine pills, which 1 have sold to dif-
ferent persons as OW PARR'S LIFE PILLS, by repre-
senting that I had purchased the recipe for that celebrated me-
dicine : such representation was, howev?r, entirely false, and
the proprietors of the genuine Old Parr's Life Pills have com-
menced legal proceedings against me for the above fraipl. But
I, having expressed sorrow and contrition, and given up to
them the names and addresses of each person to whom I have
sold any of such pills, as well as of the druggists who corn-
pounded the same, and agreed to make this public apology,
and pay all expenses, including this Advertisement, the Pro-
prietors have kindly consented to forego such legal proceed-
trigs. I do, therefore, declare my shame and sorrow for having
committed such an imposition on the public, and such a fraud
on the Proprietors of Old Parr's Life Pills, and further express
any acknowledgments for their lenity.

At two o'clock the civic procession appeared. The
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Johnson
(the late Lord Mayor), Aldermen J. Johnson, Fern-
combo, Gibbs, Humphery, Sir G. Carroll, and
the Sheriffs, having taken their places in the
seat allotted to Queen's Counsel, the Recor-

The Lord Chief Baron congratulated him upon his ac-
ceding to his high office upon a day that would be hailed.
with delight by the whole nation, from the auspicious
event which had taken place.
After the usual formalities, the Recorder, in the name
of the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs, invited the Judges
to dine at the Guildhall, and they departed as they came.
The CounT then took a few short motions, none of
which possessed any point of importance.

VENEZUELA.

We are informed by Captain Waite, of the brig Emma,
arrived yesterday from Maracaibo, that previous to his
departure considerable excitement existed, in conse-
quence of some English forces having crossed the lino
which separated British Guiana from Venezuela, and
erected a fort or block-house on the Venezuelan terri-
tory. An angry correspondence has, in consequence,
passed between the officials of the two Governments.
We give this information as it reached us. We in-
cline, however, to think that the line between Guiana
and the Venezuelan territory has never been traced with
any accuracy, and on the whole, it strikes us as some-
what singular that a portion of country which at least a

BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

EX RiIITE
Mr. MILE applied for a rule calling upon attorney
of the,Court to show cause why he shouldimit pay to
Messrs. Bailey and Shaw the sum of 1511. 155., with in-
terest thereon, and also the costs of this application. It
appeared that the attorney had been applied toby Bailey
and Shaw to sue a person named Putman on a promis
sory note for the above sum—that Pulman in April last
had paid the amount in question to the attorney, who
represented to the plaintiffs that Pulman had not
paid it—that in July the attorney acknowledged
he had received the money from Pulman, and ap.
propriated it to his own purposes, and that he
was unable to pay the same to Bailey and Shaw. An ac-
tion had been brought against him, and the venue laid in
Bristol. The Attorney had pleaded his privilege, and
brought it back to this Court, and thus had gained the be-
nefit of the long vacation. That action had been discon
tinued, and the costs tendered to the defendant. Under
these circumstances the application had been made.—
, Rule granted.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)
The LORD CutaxcELLon. took appeals to-day.
PRICE V. NORTH.
A gentleman behind the Bar applied to the Court this
morning in this case, under the following circumstances:
—The case, which was in fact a rehearing from the
Equity Exchequer, had by some mistake been answered
by Lord Abinger as a common petition ; such being the
fact, he had now to ask the leave of the Court that the
case might stand on his Lordship's paper of rehearings.
There was
,evidently some mistake about it, the manner
of answering' the petition by Lord Abinger being the
following :—" Let all parties attend me in the matter of
this petition on the first petition day in Term." 'Whereas
by the Act lately passed the jurisdiction of the Equity
Exchequer had been done away with.
The LORD CLTANCF.LI.OR—That was struck out, and
the followinr, appears to have been inserted—" Let till's
Cause be set down to be heard upon further directions-
hereof give notice forthwith." Now that was. not ac-
cording to the practice of the Court of Exchequer, and
it was necessary, therefore, to make a special application
to the Lord Chancellor on the subject. Looking to the
order of Lord Abinger. his Lordship thought that the
original order to which Lord Abinger's signature had
been annexed, had been struck out 'and the present one
substituted by the Solicitor in. the cause.
Mr. GIRDLESTONE, who was ono of the Counsel in the
cause, thought it probable that the alteration had been
made by one of the officers of the Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the subject should
be inquired into, because if the irregularity he had
pointed out, had been committed, a new order must be
made. It seemed to have been assumed that Lord
Abinger had made an order for a rehearing, when, in
fact, he had not done so.
The case was then, ordered to stand over, in order
that inquiry might be made as to what had taken place.
WOODCOCK V. 'RESNICK.
The arguments in this part-heard appeal were re-
sumed, and occupied the Court the whole morning.
The only question in the case was; as to the validity of
a power of appointment.

THE WEATHER AND THE, CROPS.—The de-
lightful weather we have lately experienced, has proved
highly fatourable to the farmers, enabling them to se-
cure the crops, Welt, from the qtiantity of rain that had
previously fallen, were in a very precarious state. The
potato digging has already commenced, and the crop pro •
raises to be an average, and of better. quality than had
been anticipated.—Leinster Express.
WALCOT PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.—It gives us
great pleasure to 'observe that this structure is fast al).-
proaching- completion'. The edifice is -large and hand-
some, capable of accommodating 1,000 children. It is
erected in the Italian, style, from a design by J. Wilson,
Esq, the talented architect,- of 'this city. The lower story
will accommodate 400 infants, while • the upper school-
rooms will each contain 300 boys. and the stone number
of girls. The cost of this truly useful and elegant addi-
tion to our city will not exceed I,':ool.—Bath and Chel-

CLASSES OF THE CAPITAL.

• ."

Hooper,
H London, 1841.
We have here the Second Part of a sort of
Sketch-book of London life, which it is proposed
to complete in twenty Monthly Parts, so as to
form two quarto volumes, profusely embellished
with characteristic coloured plates, from studies
made by an artist named Lee. This Part is con-
fined to descriptions of the various orders of Lon-
don coachmen—foremost among whom is, of
course, the Queen's State coachman, who, though
he be neatly eighty, cannot, we are told, "brook
the idea of laying down the reins. He lOOks
like a man who feels that he has a vested interest
in his seat ; in his long official life-time he has
been used to a slow and solemn pace,vand would.
' be apt to scorn a smart whip who wouldiunder,,
take to drive four-in-hand round a drawing4oom
without damaging the furniture.". In his' ac-
count of the hackney coachman, the author gives
us the following piece of information :--L" Coaches
let for hire were first established in England in
1625. They did not stand_ in 4 the; :streets, but, at
the principal inns. In .1037,..upwards of two
centuries ago, there were in,London and West
minster fifty hackney-coaches'i and, until after
the commencement of the present century,-these
coaches and- sedan-chairs- were the- only public
conveyances in use in the Streets' of the
;„ metro-
polis.

DISTRESS IN PAISLEY.

The following lett©r from his Excellency the Russian
Ambassador has been received by the Secretary to the
Paisley subscription, Mr. W. Daleas :
" Ashburnham Ikuse, Nov. 6. _

"SlR,—Finding by the newspapers that a great deal of
distress continues to exist among the manufacturing
classes at Paisley, I hope you will be pleased to accept,
for the benefit of the sufferers of that town, the friendly
offering of a foreigner, who for a length of time has en-
joyed the kind hospitality of this country. I beg to en-
close a check for fifty guineas, and have the honour to
remain, Sir, your obedient servant, "BRUNOW."

MORE INCENDIARY FIRES AT

RADBROOK, GLOUCESTERSHIRE,
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY Nrwr.'—Another fire, caused
by an incendiary, broke out on the farm of Mr. Ralph
Smith, of Radbrook, on Sunday morning. • In conse-
quence of the repeated outbreaks which occurred on the
same premises a fortnight ago, the Birmingham Insurance
Company despatched a powerful engine, accompanied by
a number of efficient firemen. This force remained at
Radbrook until Saturday last, when no fears being ap-
prehended of further acts of incendiarism, men and en-
gine, were withdrawn and returned to Birmingham. It
would appear, however, that the presence of the brigade
was the chief protection against renewed outrage ; for
on Sunday morning, about seven o'clock, two ricks, one
of wheat and the other oats, situate at a considerable
distance from each other, simultaneously took fire, and,
for all useful purposes, were completely destroyed. For-
tnnately, although the Birmingham engine and men had
left the premises, an engine belonging to Mr. West was
promptly brought to the scene of destruction, and ren-
dered all the assistance which, under the circumstances,
Could be afforded.
Soon after the former outbreaks, the Directors of the
Fire-office received a letter which induced them to think
that one, if not more, of the parties implicated had re;
paired to or was to be beard of in Ireland, and Mr. Su-
perintendent Stephens was sent to Dublin, to investigate
the matter. His mission was, however, altogether abor-
tive ; the letter to the Directors being intended, as it
would appear, to put the police on the wrong scent: , •
Although as yet no clue has been discovered to the,
perpetrators of this act, from the appearances of most
of the fires, it is supposed to have been the result of
the application of some combustible preparation. One
of the ricks destroyed yesterday presents, however, a
somewhat di&rent appearance, and would lead to the
supposition that ignition had been attempted on one side
by running a candle along the whole length of the stack.
There is a distinct mark to. this effect on the lower part
of the rick which was saved from total burning. An-
other strange part of the story is—showing with what
myF.tcry the fires are created—a waggoner and shepherd
were watching very near the site of the fires yesterday
• morning when they occurred, and yet neither of them
either heard or saw any stranger upon the farm. Cap-
tain Evans, the head of the Gloucestershire Rural
Police, with a number of the force, are now engaged
in watching the premises,-and attempting the detection
of the offenders, and it is, hoped their exertions may
prove successful. There has not as yet been any offi-
cial or Magisterial examination of any parties residing
in the neighbourhood,
As may be easily conceived, Mr. Smith and family
are deeply affected by, these afflicting circumstances, and
the whole of his household bear the highest character.

The above returns are from the provincial papers and
may be relied on for their accuracy. The meagre re-
turns, iairded by the local prints in many cases, furnish
such unsatisfactory data as not to enable us to present
them in the same shape as those above. The following
summary will, however, give a fair idea of such :
Reformers in majority, but no numbers sent :
Arundel, Dartmouth, Devonport, Hertford, Hereford,
Norwich, Tiverton, Greenock; Portobello, Ludlow.
All Reformers who were returned, but no numbers
sent :—Lincoln, Macclesfield, Morpeth, Neath, Newport,
Swansea.

Perth : great preponderance on the Liberal side. In-

Glasgow : a gain of one Liberal. Inverbury, Rauf4

At Monmouth there was a contest between the Tories

was to treat them in the same manner as any other
chattel which . had a particular mark upon it for assisting
its identification ; and in support of his view 'of the case
he cited the cases of Butcher v. Jarrett, 3d Bosanquet and
Puller ; Jolly v. Taylor, Ist Campbell, 149 ; and White-
head and ,Scott. He further complained . that ,his Lord
ship had left a question to the Jury upon which there was no
evidence. He left it to the Jury to say whether the shares
were purchased for the plaintiff, or whether they w ere
not purchased for the account of John Faulkeno hire-
self, and the contract note an afterthought. Now there
was no evidence of that at all, but Mr. Cresswell, with
thit tact which distinguished him, mooted the point
in his reply, and they all knew with what peculiar effect
his Learned Friend, addressed aLiverpool Jury.On these
grounds he trusted their Lordships would think the case
'Worthy of further consideration.
L6rd•ABINGER censidered the Learned Judge had

thopaper.was a-certificate—it was part of a written in-
strument, and:must be proved.
Baron PARKS--If the objection be taken, it •is one
that must.prevail, however hard it may be. He thought
the Learned Judge was right in rejecting the evidence,
and also in leaving the question of, for whom the shares
were purchased, to the Jury.
The other Barons agreed, and the rule was refused.
SOMES V. LAWSON.

This case came before the Court upon a demurrer to
the plaintiff's plea.
Mr. PLATT applied to amend, of course, upon pay-
ment of costs. .
Mr. Bovu, hoped their Lordships would not grant the
application as a matter of course. The defendants had
already applied at Chambers, and got leave to amend,
and then they pleaded this plea, which was not in Da-
cordance with the rule. The action was for a series ~f
libels upon the defendant and his ship, and many Terms
had already been lost by the demurrer, -
