DINNER AT Gsd.R.Aitu'S HALL.

The annual friendly dinner of the tadesmen cf*
Bread-street a “1 the auj, cell,: wards took place yesterday
at Gprard's H 111, Baling-lane. ha:.ie Lawrence, Ebq.,
in the Chair.

The bbkyct of the meeting was to keep up the good
harmony which has so long prevailed in Bread-street
Ward, and also to pay a compliment to the worthy land-
lord of Gerard's Hall, who has been long highly respected
in that quarter of the metropolis. The meeting fully an-
swered expectations. Not less than a hundred and forty
gentlemen sat down to dinner, and among these were
aoaut twenty of the principals or managing &rectors of
the first commercial houses in the district. The dinner
and wines were excellent, the attendance good, and the
evening, altogether, was passed with that hilarity,
good social feeling, and loyalty, which are pe
culiar to this country. Messrs. Rainstord, Turner.
Robinson, and Morgan were engaged on the
occasion, and delighted the company with some of their
best glees and songs. The " Coronation," indited by
Barney Macguite, and sung by Morgan, in response to
the toast of the " Lord Mayor and the Trade of London,"
was enthusiastically applauded. Sonic excellent speeches
were made on the occasion . and among others one by the
Chairman, who is a retired tradesman, and a native of
Cumberland, which elicited great praise—one part of it
was highly honourable to himself and his neighbours.. He
had lived, he said, 22 years in the Ward, and never on any
One cecasion had a quarrel with any one individual in it.
The evening was passed with the best feeling, and the
company at a late hour separated, determined to meet
again in the same spirit of kindness and brotherly love at
the next anniversary.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) . b

prices of both were a shade lower than on the preceding

CASE OF JOHN THOROGOOD.

Dr. NICHOLL wished to call the attention of the
House to an opinion expressed by the Noble Lord last
night on the imprisonment of John Thorogood. The Noble
Lord had said it would be in the power of the church-
wardens to liberate that individual. He believed, how-
ever, that they had no such power, and that his Hon.
Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets could not,
if the case was again brought before him, discharge the
prisoner, unless he appeared in Court and submitted.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, he was under an up.
prehension in consequence of what fell from the At-
torney-General, that a power existed in certain quarters
to release that individual. He would consult with him
again upon the subject, and when he had ascertained
what his opinion was, he would state it to the House.
It was his impression chat the Act which had been
passed with respect to cases of contempt in the Court
of Chancery might be applied to the present case.
The House then adjourned.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF

MARRIAGE,

ANNE CIIENNEY V. BROWNE.
This was an action for breach of a promise of marriage,
at Huntingdon, July .23, to which the defendant pleaded
that he never made the promise.
Mr. KELLY, on behalf of the defendant, had had a
short consultation with his Learned Friend who appeared
for the plaintiff, and the result was, that the Jury would
n.,t be troubled with any evidence in this case. It could
not be denied that his client had entered into an engage-
ment, and that he had failed to perform it, and it had
been arranged that a verdict, with 40s. damages, should
pass for the plaintiff. In thus ending this case, he ( Mr.
Kelly) was ingtructed by his client to state that the plain.
tiff left Court without the shadow of an imputation resting
upon her character, which was all that her family and
friends could desire.
Mr. GUNNING, for the plaintiff; expressed his satisfac-
tion, at this termination of the action. That the parties
had been engaged, and that the engagement was broken
off, were circumstances well known in the county, and the
present action had been brought, not for the purpose of
putting damages into the pockct of the plaintiff, but in
order to clear her character from any imputation which
might be supposed to rest upon it, by those who knnv of
the termination of the engagement.

Ile Jury then 1-c:tunicLta verdict, with 403. damages,
to the very obvious disappointment of the bevies of young
and fair ladies who graced the Court, in hopes of hearing
the details of a " love trial."

luxury to the richer classes, and for the lower, a pawn-
shop was thought to be all the financial accommoda-
tion required. In Scotland, however, banking,
so far
from being a luxury, has become a necessity for all
classes ; and a great extension of banking accommoda-
tion has taken place in Ireland. lle!'c also, we bid
fair to do something; what ,sash savings banks and
loan funds, things are not quite so bad as they were.
Last year's return showed that the amount of deposits
in savings banks was 0:2,000,000/., being an increase of
I nearly two millions ; so that an annual accumulation of
capital at least to that extent must take place among
the smaller tradesmen and work.ing,. classes. This is
pretty good proof of what can be done, and a strong
hint to those who entertain doubts of the importance
of providing for the pecuniary wants of those classes.
To us it seems that these two millions, or twenty-two
millions, would have been much better emplo-
yed in the
shape of loans, than being brought back into circula-
tion by the cumbrous machinery of savings banks and
government commissioners. 111 any of the depositors in
savings banks are concerned in loan fund transactions,
and would do wisely to weigh these. facts, for they may
rest assured that the most efActeat help must come
from themselves. Loan funds, under respactable and
responsible directors, are the best means of carrying
out these objects, and cannot fail to be productive a
great benefit. We gave an account in a recent nutn-
ber of a very interesting meeting of the Westminster
Loan Society, in Buckingham-street, and we see that
in the same street is another newly-formed institution
which, in another sphere, proini!es to be equally useful.'
The Great Western Loan Society, which is the name
of the new Company, is for granting larger loans, an
object much wanted.

S ELECT POETRY for CHILDREN, with
BRIEF EXPLANATORY NOTES.

By JOSEPH PAYNE.

" A very nice littfe volume, containing a charming collection
of poetry, adapted for children from six to twelve."—Spectator.
" A work admirably calculated to replenish the mind with
bright and available materials, such as shall impart to it an
abundance of intellectual wealth, and give it breadth and ele-
vation."—Youth's Magazine.

" Of the many works having this end in view, (i. e. the in-
ducing of a healthy moral tone in the minds of children), we
have met with none possessing greater claims to attention than
the Poetical Selection by Mr. Payne; he has drawn from
sources the most pure and invigorating, and the result is, a
happy combination, which must excite thirst in the youthful
mind, ardent but wholesome. It deserves a place on the shelves
of every school-room in the kingdom."—Parthenon.

THE MORNING HERALD OFFICE,
24th JULY, 1840.
IN consequence of the publication of an Adver-
tisement by the respectable body of Newsvenders, having
reference to the late publication of a certain Morning Paper,
the Public are hereby informed that the Publication of the
MORNING HERALD is invariably concluded at HALF-
PAST SEVEN O'CLOCK, except en rare occasion, when
very late debates, or foreign arrivals, make some delay ex-
cusable. The evil complained of by the newsvenders is one
which affects the public chiefly, inasmuch as, in many instances,
the delivery of the MORNING HERALD, and other Jour-
nals, is made subservient to the convenience of one Journal.

EVENING EDI T 1

Bill propcsed to establish two additional Courts ci
Equity. With regard to the Bill taking precedence of
other measures, there were many measures now before
the House which had not yet been before the Lords,
and he thought it more convenient for the despatch of
public business, that those measures which had to i.ro
seat up to the House of Lords should be disposed of.
before those which had been sent down from that
House. As the Right Hon. Gentleman, however,
wished to have a day fixed for the discussion, he would
propose to take the Bill on Thursday next.
Sir E. SUGDEN objected to that arrangement, and
should certainly take every constitutional means in his
power to oppose a measure which had been brought
forward so late in the Session.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WOOLWICH, JULY ?.4. The Dreadnought, seamen's
hospital ship, has sprung a leak near her keelson ; and
from the great quantity of water admitted, she must be
taken into dock to be thoroughly examined and repaired.
The Cygnet 6-gun brig, commissioned by Lieut. Ed-
ward Wilson, when ready for sea, will proceed from Wool-
%jell to the Cape of Good Hope. The statement quoted
from the provincial papers that she would be employed in
the packet service was premature. Had she been intended
for that depnrtment, she would have been armed with light
guns instead of the 32-pounders which have been adopted.
The packet service will in a very short time be exclusively
accomplished by steam-vessels.
The Opossum, late packet-brig, is fitting at Chathamfor the quarantine service at Gibraltar.
The Nightingale brig, Mr. George Hicks acting mas-
ter, arrived off the Arsenal at Woolwich on Wednesday,
from San Sebastian with Ordnance stores. When un-
loaded she will return to the north coast of Spain on simi-
lar service.

The /Etna, Lieut. Commander John Wilson, left
Woolwich on Thursday, towed by the Lightning steam-
vessel, for Sheerness, Portsmouth, and the north coast
of Spain.
The Cuckoo steam-vessel has been refitted at Woolwich,
and will return to Weymouth on or about the 2d of August.
The Dover iron steam-packet, built by Mr. Laird for
the packet service at Dover, is now ready for sea, and may

EXCISE COURT.

Mr. Hawkins, landlord of the Whito Hart and
Fountain public-house in Rosemary-lane, appeared be-
bre the Commissioners of the Board of Excise at their
Court in Bread-street, City, to answer to an informa-
tion laid against him for an infraction of the Excise-law.
John Ertord, a Surveyor of Excise, in his examina-
tion by Mr. Mayow (Solicitor to the Board) stated that
in consequence of information received, he, on the first
day of last month, proceeded to the house of the de-
fendant, and on examining one of the butts in his cellar,
he found the top quite wet, and he had no doubt that
this had been occasioned by something being put into it,
and in a pail close to it he discovered a small portion of
a mixture consisting of sugar, salt, and water. The lat-
ter he put into a bottle, and took it away with him, as
well as a portion of the beer in the cask he had just
now alluded to ; and it was much reduced in strength
and quality. In reply to the questions of the defend-
ant, the witness admitted that he had examined all the
other butts of beer in the cellar, and found them to contain
porter of a superior description. He also admitted that
the defendant procured him a light to go to the cellar
with the greatest possible alacrity, and that when the
discovery was made, he expressed the utmost astonish-
ment, and declared he knew nothing whatever about it.
William Thornton, another officer, who had accoiri-
panied the last witness, corroborated his statement.
The defendant, when asked what he had to say in
reply to the charge, put in a written paper, which he
said contained the whole of the facts of the manner in
which he, or rather his wife, had been entrapped into
the offence far which he was brought before the Court.
From the statement which was read by the clerk of
the Court, it appeared that the defendant had been in
business as a publican for upwards of twelve years, and
that during the whole of that time not a single com-
plaint had been made against him ; but, on the con-

his absence a person who was a total stranger to him,
but who it appeared had been two or three times in the
house before, called there, and in a conversation with

was more brisk than for some time past. Good Beef and

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCIIESTER.—There was smother gloomy market yes-
terday, and prices of yarn were generally about fth lower
than on the preceding Tuesday, with a very moderate
business doing. The market for cloth of kinds was
also very quiet, and, notwitstanding the extensive turn-out
at Stockport, which has, to some extent, diminished the
supplies of power-loom cloth, the prices of the preceding
week were barely supported. ,
IIoCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, ,MONDAY, MAY 18.—
There has been a tolerably 'fair &wand to-day for the
coarser-kinds of flannels, while those of a finer description
have not been so much inquired after. Manufacturers are
desirous to obtain a little advance in prices ; but the buyers
have generally resisted it, though they have been willing to
give the former prices. There has been a better demand
for wool ; prices have been firm, and rather looking up.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY 19. We have no change
of importance to notice in this day's market. The de-
mand continues very steady, and prices remain firm, with
a tendency upwards. Orders are increasing; and, con
sequently, work is more plentiful. Business in the ware-
houses is an average for the season. Goods of the middle
and finer descriptions are most in request.
