BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY).

George Meade, charged with stealing a waistcoat, a
pair of boots, two linen shirts, and one flannel shirt, the
property of Capt. Otway, of the Scots Fusileer Guards,
in whose service he had been, was again brought up.
Captain Otway identified the waistcoat, hoots, and
shirts produced as his property.
The prisoner was committed for trial on the charge of
stealing the waistcoat and shirts, which the Captain
valued at 1/.
The prisoner was then charged with obtaining goods
from tradesmen upon the false pretence that they were
for Captain Otw•ay. Two cases were entered into ; one
fur obtaining two pair of boots and a pair V fur soles
from Mr. Buhl, bootimdier, of Burlington-arcade ; and
the other, of obtaining a black silk neckerchief, or black
satin neckerchief, a cravat, flannel waistcoat, and a pair
of gloves from a linendraper in Piccadilly. The property
obtained from Mr. Buhl was to the value of 21 11s., and
the neckerchkfs, &c., were valued at 21. 13s.
The prisoner was also committt d on the se charges,
to which he made no defence, being admitted to bidl in
his own rec ignisanc,s fur 50/., and two sureties for 25/.
each, but on the charge of felony he was committed
without bail.

MARYLEBoNE —(THIS DAY.)
James Clark, I khan! Prior, and Thomas Lolls,
drivers of omnibuses, were severally charged by Mr.
Inspector Hunt, of the I) division of police, with leaving
their boxes and standing in the Edgware-road longer
than necessary on Christmas-day last, opposite the Star
and Garter.
95 D proved the two first cases, and the defendants
Clark and Prior were each mulcted in the mitigated
penalty of five shillings. Hobbs escaping through the
circumstance of the officer who made out the summons
having mistaken the number of the omnibus.
Mr. Joseph Crawford, the proprietor of the above two-
penny omnibuses, complained of the proprietors of the
New•road and Paddington omnibuses being allowed to
remain three-quarters of an hour at their starting points,
while his men were pounced upon for stopping only nine
minutes, and that on Christmas-day.
Mr. Inspector Hunt stated that he served all alike, and
that he acted so in consequence of the inhabitants of the
surrounding district having made repeated complaints
about the nuisance occasiontd by the omnibuses ob-
structing the thoroughfares.
Mr. RAWLINSON said he was there to exercise the
law, and could therefore grant no indulgence.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS.

" Sire,—The clergy and the Archbishop of Paris lay
at the foot of the throne their respectful homage, and
the sincere wishes that they entertain for your Majesty,
your august family, and the illustrious Princess, who,
in causing the happiness of one of your noble sons,
brings new joys to your paternal heart. We pray to
God to grant these wishes, and to spread. over France
his most abundant blessings."
The KING replied:—
" Truly sensible to the expressions of these wishes, it
is with pleasure that I thank you, and also the clergy
by whom you are surrounded. lam happy to acknow-
ledge the zeal which it manifests in the exercise of its
important functions, and the effort that it makes inces-
santly to maintain on the population of Paris those sen-
timents of religion, and those principles of Christian
morality, the development of which among them is so
essential. You may always rely upon my support in the
endeavour to attain so desirable a result. I am much
affected with what you say to me on the subject of the
marriage of one of my sons, and with the wishes that
you feel for France, for my family, and for myself."
The sojourn of the Count DE AIONTEMOLIN in Eng-
land appears to occasion considerable anxiety to the
French Government. The Revue des deux Monde:,

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE VISCOUNT PAL'
MERSTON, &C., &C.
" The Memorial of the Directors of the Manchester Com.

merciAl Association, by their Chairman,

"Respectfully showeth—That in the month of June,
1845, your memorialists called the attention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to the unsatisfactory position of our
commercial relations with the United Provinces of Rio
de la Plata.
" That shortly afterwards it was attempted by her
Majesty's Government, in conjunction with that of
France, by n-,eans of an armed intervention, to heal the
differences which existed between Buenos Ayres and
Monte Video.
" That notwithstanding such intervention, there is
not, so far as your memorialists are aware of, any pro-
spect of a speedy termination of hostilities.
" That the protracted warfare between the Argentine
and Oriental republies has been the source of much loss,
and of serious destruction of property to the subjects of
her Majesty trading to the River Plate, and has been
otherwise injurious to the commercial interests of this
country generally.
" That unclfT these circumstances, renewed effirts on
the part of her Majesty's Government to restore peace
are, in the opinion of your memorialists, strongly called
for, and are hereby earnestly solicited.
" That while your memorialists do not seek to pre-
scribe to your Lordship the steps desirable to be taken
for this purpose, they at the same time respectfully sub-
mit that the guaranteed independence of the Oriental

subject, with a view to adopting such steps as in your

Alderman LUCAS asked how it happened that such
numbers applied for relief at such a season of the year,
when such applicants were generally much dimin-
ished ? If it turned out that they came from Ireland,
a great deal of allowance must be made for the au-
thorities at the union, for it was pretty well known
that customers of that kind required not only to be
sheltered, but to be kept altogether, and the expense
which must be incurred by administering relief would
be enormous, at the same time that the claimants were
regular stickers, and could not by any ingenuity, be
shaken off. He knew that vast numbers of the Irish
who come to London from Liverpool were obliged to
be lodged in St. Thomas's Hospital, in consequence of
violent illness, and when they were cured the diffi-
culty in prevailing upon them to go out to make room
for other patients was almost insuperable. Of late
crowds of Irish had come over for the purpose of
picking hops, but the number of native labourers to
do that work in the county of Kent was adequate to
the employment, and 1,400 to 1,500 poor Irish were
thus continued in a destitute condition.

Alderman PAREBROTHER said it was quite evident
that an inquiry should be made, and the motion was
carried without opposition.

CHURCH RATES.

A vestry meeting of the parishioners of St. George-
the-Martyr was held yesterday for the election of
overseers, the reception of the accounts of the paro-
chial officers, and to consider the propriety of grant-
ing a rate tor the repair of the church. The Rev. J
Horton, rector, took the chair, but the vestry room
being crowded, the meeting adjourned to the body
of the church. The following gentlemen were re•
turned to serve as overseers :—Mr. John Showier,
Mr. Moses Salmon, Mr. Henry North, Mr. William
Hinton. Mr. Palmer, rector's warden, after an in-
troductory statement. alluded to the subject of the
rate required for repairing the church. He said that
an estimate had been obtained by his predecessor for
the work to be done, and that it amounted to 1,5001.
The matter required grave consideration. He pro-
posed to ask 1,0001., the amount required for the
ordinary parochial expenses, which would be covered
by a rate of twopence-halfpenny, and also an ad•
ditional rate to a similar amount, the largest allowed
under another Act of Parliament, for repairing the
church. He concluded by moving that a sum of sd.
in the pound be assessed as the rate for this year.
The motion having been seconded, Mr. Hearn ob-
served that it was evident from the manner and lan-
guage of Mr. Palmer that he did not expect success
on this occasion. The time had arrived when com-
pulsory payments in matters of religion ought to be
at an end.—(Cheers.) These coercive assessments
would complete the separation of the Church from
the State, and estrange the feelings of the poor from
its communion. The Rector said, " Mr. Hearn, that
is not the question"—(Cries of " It is the question.")
Mr. Hearn said that it was a question affecting not
only the just rights of the inhabitants of that extensive
parish, but of the community at large.—(Hear, hear.)
The present average attendance at the parish church
was about 500 or 600, one-third of whom were not
rate-payers, and were 3,500 rate payers to be taxed
for the convenience of three hundred? Should they
who dissented from the communion of the Church of
England be compelled to pay towards these repairs ?
Was it not sufficient that they kept their own chapels
and places of worship in repair ? Those who fre-
quented the parish church should do the same. lie
concluded by moving an amendment to the effect,
that the extraordinary rate proposed to be assessed
for the beautifying and repairing the church be dis-
allowed. The amendment was seconded. A long
discussion ensued, in the course of which various rate-
payers ex,ressed their determination not to submit to
the imposition of the extra rate. The amendment
being put from the chair, was carried by an over-
t whehning majority. A rate of 2d. in the pound was
passed for the ordinary expenses.

LAMBETH.

Yesterday Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor of New-
gate-street, applied to Mr.-Elliott for two summonses
against Mr. Gray, a gentleman residing in Windmill-
terrace, Camberwell-road; one for wiltul damage, and
the other for being guilty of behaviour with intent to
provoke a breach of the peace.
Mr. Humphreys stated, that some months since
Mr. Gray had been summoned to this court for a
series of annoyances to a young lady, the 'daughter
of Mr. Martin, the gentleman who then accompanied
him ; and it was hoped, from what then transpired—
he being convicted in a penalty, and the severe and
proper admonition which he had received at the hands
of Mr. Norton—that his conduct would have become
altered, and that there would have been nothing
more heard of his annoyance. In this hope, however,
the family of Air. Martin were very much disap-
pointed; for, though not to so great an extent as
before, Miss Martin was still the subject a continual
annoyance. For instance—she had been prevented
from attending her regular place of worship from the
dread of being followed there and back, and when
she got into an omnibus Mr. Gray was in the
habit of getting into the same vehicle and getting
out when she did ; but though these annoyances,
as might be well conceived, were of the most
disagreeable description, they were not those of
which the family of Mr. Martin had more imme-
diately to complain, nor those for which he (Mr. Hum-
phreys) requested summonses. A few days ago Miss
Martin was out with her mother, and on their return
they were followed to their own gate by Mr. Gray,
who addressed the young lady, whose name was
Jane, in a familiar manner; and when she was going
in at the gate said, " Good bye, Jenny," or something
to that effect, and extended both his hands from the
tip of his nose in a fan-like form, which he (Mr.
Humphreys) understood was what was vulgarly
called " taking a sight." This conduct rendered him
liable to a penalty under the Police Act, which states,
" That any person who shall use any threatening,
abusive, or insulting words or behaviour, with intent
to provoke a breach of the peace, or whereby a breach
of the peace may be occasioned, shall be liable to a
penalty of 405." The act of the party, as he had de-
scribed it, was certainly such an act as was calculated
to create or lead to a breach of the peace ; and on
these grounds he Claimed one summons. The second
summons was for wilful damage ; and in this case he
should be able b prove, by the servant of Mr. Martin,
that some under linen belonging to her young mis-
tress, and other articles, were placed to bleach or dry
on a grassplot in the garden, and that Mr. Gray,
from his own garden, which was only separated by a
wall, had sprinkled the property with a corrosive
liquid, which rendered it perfectly useless.
Mr. ELLiofT granted summonses in both cases, as
required, and they were placed in the hands of
English, the constable, for service.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN

LIVERPOOL.
(Prom the Liverpool Standard of yesterday.)
This important addition to the railway facilities
possessed by the town of Liverpool was first brought
into working- order yesterday afternoon, in a tempo-
rary room, fitted up over the carriage depository at
the Lime-street station. At present it is only capable
of being worked in communication with Manchester,
and there is no connexion along the London and
Birmingham line beyond Rugby. The workmen,
however, are actively employed in laying the wires
for the remaining distance, which will no doubt be
completed by the time that the company get into
possession of their permanent station in Tithebarn-
street, opposite the end of Exchange-street East.
By the politeness of the clerks in attendance at the
station, we were erabled to witness the facility with
which messages are sent and answers received. As
an example of the almost instantaneous travelling
of the electric fluid, we may state that, from the
moving of the handle of the telegraph to the cor-
responding movement of the needle, not a quarter of
a second's interval is perceptible ; yet to move the
needle in Liverpool, the fluid has to travel to Msn.;•
chester and back, a distance of over sixty miles. The
understanding between communicants at each end is
most accurate; indeed, mistakes appear so thoroughly
guarded against as to be almost impossible. Whilst
at the station the arrival of a vessel (the Mary,
Amelia, Captain Long) from New York was trans-
mitted to Manchester in a space of time not exceed=
ing one minute, and in another would be recorded
upon the slate in the Manchester Exchange. A pri-
vate conversation was also held by a gentleman con-
nected with the Liverpool press, nith one of the
editors of the Manchester Guardian, who was sum--
mooed per telegraph from his office for the purpose-
A s soon as the arrangements are completed, tbe ila-
fdrtnation received from the various telegraph stgdonsi
the London markets, and any
.other commercial or
other intelligence worthy of being transmitted, wi
be written up in the room, which will be open to sub-
scribers paying two guineas per annum.

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1847.

Eastward and westward the bray of battle arouses
our attention. The tidings of war are brought to us
alternately from the arid tracks of Morocco or the
mountain passes of Mexico. Now we are startled by
the intelligence of some fresh disaster to the cause of
ADD-EL-KAMM, now by the news of some additional
defeat of the forces under SANTA ANNA. The varia-
tion of the tale is as picturesque as a dissolving
view, and as dramatic as the best amongst the fan-
tastic romances of the late M. SOULIE. At one mo-
ment we behold with the eye of our imagination the
flying followers of the Emir ; at the next the fancy
hears the sauve qui peat of the guerillas of the Dic-
tator. In both instances the accounts consist of per-
petual discomfitures, and are invariably succeeded by
the information of the re-organization of their troops.
Whether the victory is achieved by TAYLOR
or BUG EAUD, by SCOTT or ABDERRHAMAN, it
is inevitably followed by the re-appearance of their
defeated antagonists with more than their original
strength both moral and numerical. ABD•EL.KADER
is pursued into the wilderness—his cavalry is routed
—the turbans of his vassals are trampled under the
hoofs of his enemies—he is driven ignominiously from
sand-hill to sand-hill, and yet his authority is unde-
stroyed ; it is not only undestroyed, it has acquired a
mysterious renewal and extension ; his losses seem to
be the talismans of his power and his glory. If
SANTA ANNA does not display the same incompre-
hensible faculty for insuring to himself the ever-
increasing homage of his countrymen, he has hitherto
evinced a similar aptitude to rise unscathed from his
overthrows—to emerge with additional vigour from
the most disastrous assaults—to enhance the force of his
armies in spite of the butcheries of the invaders. In
this particular, the African Emir and the Mexican
Dictator bear towards each other a certain amount
of resemblance, though the one betokens in his move-
ments the oriental impetuosity peculiar to
.the blood
of a descendant of the Prophet, while the other be-
trays in his policy the phlegmatic rashness derived
from his Spanish ancestry.
To all, therefore, who are not carried away by a
credulity in the fanfaronnades of the French and
American journals, the defeat of Ann-BL-KADEs
before Fez, and of SANTA ANNA before Mexico, will
appear equ.llly inconclusive of the campaigns in
Africa and South America. Beyond the narrative of
the overthrows of the Emir and the Dictator, we are
assured, it is true, that the former has sought an in-
lrview with the Lieutenant of AnDERRRAMAN, and
iat the latter has consented to renew the negotiations
ith Mr. TRIST, the United States' Plenipotentiary.
-b bear those assertions in our recollection, and yet
4 regard the recent discomfitures of the two chieftains
of their pre-
ss indecisive as any
being altogether

SERIOUS DESTRUCTION of FARM

PRODUCE.

On Saturday afternoon, about half-past three
o'clock, a serious fire broke out in the farm-yard of
Mr. Goundry, a respectable farmer, residing at the
village of Westoe, near South Shields. It appears that
a chimney belonging to a cottage immediately adjoin-
ing the farm-yard was on fire at the time, and a spark
of ignited soot was carried by the wind on to the
thatched roof of the thrashing-machine house, and set
it on fire. The wind blowing strong at the time,
increased the force of the devouring element, until all
the stacks in the yard and a large barn were one after
another set on fire. The whole produce of a harvest,
amounting to twelve stacks of corn and two of hay with
the barn and thrashing-machine, were on fire at one
moment, threatening destruction to the whole %illage.
A farm-yard adjoining, belonging to Mr. Thomson,
had a narrow escape,. indeed it was said that it was at
one time on fire. Every attempt to extinguish the
fire proved ineffectual, and the only consideration
was to save the adjoining property, which was happily
accomplished. The fire raged until ten o'clock at
night, when every vestige of the farm-yard was de-
stroyed. During the progress of the fire several
persons entered Mr. Goundry's house, and proceeded
to throw the furniture into the street, and pulled
down the doors and tore out the windows, breaking
and destroying everything in their way ; making the
house a complete wreck. Portions of the goods were
also stolen, and persons were seen carrying away
boxes and other pieces of furniture, through the fields
to South Shields. The loss sustained will amount to
about 1,6001., not one farthing of which can be re-
covered, as the property was not insured,
London, England, 1847-09-30

fore the young woman would be able to attend and
give evidence.
Mr. Vann, for the defence, assured the Magistrate
that the unfortunate occurrence was purely accidental,
resulting from the culpable negligence of the person
who had entrusted the prisoner with the rifle, without
apprising him that it was loaded, and hoped that under
the circumstances bail would not be refused.

Mr. HAMMILL ultimately acceded to this applica-
tion, but said that the bail must be heavy; he should
not be satisfied with less than the prisoner himself
in 4001., and two sureties in 2001. each, with
twenty-four hours' notice to the officers to inquire
into their solvency.
