LAW A 15773 POLICII.

At Bow-street, on Friday, Thomas Poore, who has
been repeatedly examined before the Magistrate, charged
with stealing a letter containing a .51. note, was fully
comtnitted for trial.

At Thames-street. Mr. Masson, or the firm of Masson
and noggins, with the Captain of the Himalaya emi-
grant ship, bound for New South Wales, waited on the
Magistrate to explain why the poor people ware net al-
lowed to go on board in the docks. Mr. Masson said it
had been found necessary to adopt that system on ac-
count of the petty thefts committed by impostors on the
poor emigrants, and the inconvenience caused by women
and children being on board while going down the river.
He further added that he was anxious to re-pay the
money which had been furnished from the office to con-
vey the emigrants to Gravesend.

Queen arrived here this afternoon at four. o'cloek. accom-
panied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent,, to
see her on board the steamer in which she will embark-
for England.
BRUSSELS, OCT. I.—A storm which raged almost the
whole of yesterday, obliged the Duchess of Kent to delay
her departure- far .hours.
ALEXANDRIA; SEPT. 6.—Mphemet Ali is still here,
living in fl,countrr scat near the city. M. Krupmer, the
Russian Consul, has not been officially presented but pro-
bably will. be before the Viceroy !goes to Cairo. Mee-
' sures are now taken in earnest to give up the Syrians, in
the Paella's service. They are to re.eeive their arrears of
pay before their departure. Their number is estimated
at 10,000. Napier is very active in this matter. The last
French steamer brought orders to Mehemet Ali to give
up the expedition to Arabia (for which, however, nopre-
parations were made.) It seems that this is owing to the
influence of the English, who look with a jealous eye to
all that passess in the Red Sea.
Achrnet Menihli Pacha, formerly Minister of War, has

Dr. Bowring was voted to the Chair.
PETER TAILOR, Esq., jun., proposed the first resolu-
tion. The young men of London now appeared as an
association for the purpose of contributing their efforts
to the great cause of free trade. He concluded by pro-
posing a resolution, which Mr. PRESTON seconded, and
was unanimously carried.
Mr. GOODLIFFE proposed the second resolution, which
Mr. FOSTER seconded.

A memorial was then adopted, after which the meet-

ANTI-BREAD TAX CONFERENCE IN WALES.

(From the Carnarvon HeraU.)
On Tuesday evening last a meeting was held in the
Guildhall of this town, to take into consideration the
propriety of having a Conference of Ministers, held in
Carnarvon, of a similar nature to the one held in Man-
chester, in August last.
The Chair was taken at seven o'clock, by Mr. W. G.
Thomas, architect.
The Chairman called on Mr. Walter Griffith, Anti-
Corn-law Lecturer, to explain the object of the meeting.
That Gentleman commenced by giving a brief account
of the Anti-Corn-law movements during the last three
years. He gave a short sketch of the late Conference
at Manchester, with the effects already produced, and
those likely to be further produced, by the said meeting.
There could be no doubt, he said, but that the Weiss.:
ministers felt strongly on behalf of their oppressed fe-
low-countrymen ; and would agitate, to the best of
their ability, for the repeal of an impost so injurious
and oppressive as the existing Corn-law. The object
of the ministers of the gospel at Carnarvon, in
calling this meeting together, was to ascertain the
feeling of the town respecting a Ministerial Con-
ference. They considered such a meetinc, quite neces-
sary, and they hoped they would meet with every eneoup
ragement from their fellow-townsmen. He considered
the doom of the bread-tax sealed, since the cause of re-
peal was taken in hand by Gospel ministers. What but
the efforts of the religious part of the community had
been the means of abolishing slavery? and nothing but
the efforts of Christians will effectually destroy mono-
poly. He had often wished the Welsh ministers to be
forward in this great cause, and it gave him great plea-
sure to see them now coming forward so nobly.
The Rev. I. W. GIrIFFITII, Baptist minister, said they
had come together on the present occasion because they
felt for the thousands that were starving around them.

MISCZLMANEOITS.

On the late drainage of an estate ut Withiel, in Somer-
setshire, two oak trees, in sound condition, were found
beneath the earth, supposed to have been prostrated ages
ago by some convulsion. It. is more remarkable, since
the soil of Withiel is unfavourable to the oak, and scarce
one of any size is in the neighbourhood.
Feargus O'Connor and Bronterre O'Brien have lately
been honoured with public processions, dinners, and

carry into effect the proposed improvements.
Upwards of 28,000 letters have been delivered
in seven days at Brighton, which is nearly 4,000 more
than were ever delivered in one week• in the town.
The increase is attributed to the extraordinary influx of
visitors since-the opening of the railroad.
The largest train which has yet passed along

Tuesday last at eleven. It was propelled by two engines,
and consisted of 19 railway carriageS, carrying 146 pas-

NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

STRIKE OF THE 'MASONS.

The following statement has been drawn :up by
Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the contractors, respecting
the unfortunate dispute between them and the masons:',---
The workmen from whose evil influence the " strike" of
the masons at the new Houses of Parliament has 'origi-
nated having addressed 'a letter to her MajesVs Com-
missioners of Woods and Works, containing finir spe-
cific charges of oppreSsion against, their foceman, we
feel it a dtity which we owe to ourselves and to Mr.
Allen, the foreman complained of, to prove to the Com-
missioners and to the public that these chargeS'are with-
out the slightest fliundation, and that the secession of
the workmen has originated, not in any oppression on
the part of the foreman, hut in an attempt which, had
it been snecessrul, would have robbed their employers of
one-third of the labour they have 'rid for, and have
placed the inexperienced and idle operative upon a par
with the industrious and experienced workman.
The evil of this position both to ourselves and to the
industrious part of the men in our employment is too
self-evident to require any comment on our part, and we
have oily to regret that the tyranny of the Union is
such as to alarm the well-disposed workmen into a :ame
acquiescence with resolutions whose only tendency is;to
keep them unemployed, and which
.are only caused at
their meetings through the charm of subtlety and false.

WHALE FISHERY —lt appears that for many
years of late remarkable changes have taken place in the
circumstances of this species of fishery in the northern
seas, which every day become more and more perceptible.
The whale regions arc no longer the same as formerly.
Originally the seas situate between Spitzbergen and
Greenland were frequented ; these were afterwards totally
abandoned. Whalers gave the preference to Davis's
Straits, Baffin's Bay, or the teas to the cast of Greenland.
At the present time Davis's Straits appear on the point of
being deserted in their turn : France no longer sends any
,;hips there; Holland sends only one or two; England,
which formerly sent upwards of 200 ships to those regions,
in 1832 only sent 81. The number is now much less,

Dave made their appearance in the midst of a storm, they

LONDON:
FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1841.

If the Tories could only chain men's tongues
and their pens by their denunciations or their
sneers, they might rule the empire to the end of
time. But though they cry out this is sedition,
that is treason, and t'other thing is flat rebellion,
nobody heeds them. They have been more suc-
cessful in chaining our bodies than in chaining our
minds, and the community is still free to think and
speak in spite of their misplaced exertions.
To gain their present ends they are inventing
new crimes, and, with a draconian spirit, would
drown them in blood. From time to time we have
said something against the Repeal of the Union,
the agitation of which we regard, for any other
purpose than to frighten away the Tory harpies, as
mischievous to. the community. We have said
enough to call forth a letter from Mr. O'CONNELL,
our reply to which he, prudently, we think, left
unnoticed. We are most decidedly opposed to
the repeal, and to the agitation to . obtain it ; but
we cannot, therefore, allow the Tories unanswered
to stigmatize Mr. O'CoNNELL's agitation as sedi-
tion, or denounce it as treason. The Act of
Union is a mere law, like the Corn-law, and may
be, though that is hardly possible, as bad a law ;
and no attempts peaceably to get the law repealed,
can, with the least propriety, be called either sedi-
tion,Qr treason. Mr. O'CorrwELL has just as good
a right to agitate for the repeal of the Act of Union
as Sir R. Nous and his friends hare to agitate

and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. 11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.

2. Two-thirds at any time lent en deposit of policy, being a
land always available during sickness or want of employment.
S. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.

CIETY, 351, Strand.
Capital, 250,0001.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea_thy, viz.:-
Ist. Insurii.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
euring Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weefruy
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Publie is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence'orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,

INUNDATIONS IN FRANCF.

The Rouen capers mention that never, in the memory
of the oldest inhabitants, hac:• the small streams, the Re-
bec and the Aubette, beets so much flooded. In the Quar-
tier Bouvreuil, the rue Verto was quite under water, and
the occupiers of the ground-floors had to remove with
their effects. Several bridges have been carried away,
and two persons belonging to Maronne, and several of
other communes, have been crowned. Many maoufacto•
ries are stopped, in consequence of the destruction of the
water-wheels.

Extensive inundations have taken place at various
points along the course of the Somme, and near Amiens,
a here a good deal of cattle has been lost. At Houdre-
ville, near Fontainebleau, at Beauvais, and at Aubenton,
in the Aisne, extensive fbods have prevailed. At Evreux,
the lower part of the town bre been considerably damaged
by the waters.
We learn from Pontoise,. that the Viosne has over-
flowed all the low grounds round that place, and has stop-
ped most of the mills. The Couleuvre, too, has done
much damage.
Extensive inundations have been caused by the melting
of the snow near Chateaudun, Chartres, and Dreux, in
the Eure-et- Loire.
Advices from Arras inform 113 that the melting of the
snows and the rains has caused great floods in all the low
districts round that city.
The low grounds on the barks of the Seine, both above
and below Paris, are under water to a considerable cx•
tent ; bat hitherto no damage to property of any consider-
able extent has taken place. The river is on a level with
the tops of the arches of several of the bridges.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DA Y

(Sittings in Banco.)
LAW AND PENNELL V. THE DUKE OP MARLBOROUGH.

Mr. WHATELEY showed cause against a rule obtained
by Mr. Thomas, for the purpose of setting aside an order
of Mr. Baron Rolfo under these circumstances Noble
defendant had entered into a bond to pay 2001. as an an-
nuity to Mrs Pennell, payable half-yearly at the common
Dining-hall of Lincoln's Inn, upon lives. By somo ar-
rangement the money was paid through Gosling and Shr.rpe,
the bankers, who obtained joint receipts upon such occa-
sions. On the first payment for 1838 becoming due, a
receipt was tendered signed by Mrs. Pennell only, when
payment was refused. An action was thereupon commenced
for recovering the penalty of the bond. Upon application
to the Learned Baron, he made an order that, upon pay-
ment of the arears of the annuity and costs, the plaintiff
should be satisfied. The answer of the noble defendant
was made by an affidavit of the barkers' clerk, which stated
that the money was, and had always been in their hands,
ready to be paid upon the production of a proper receipt.
Mr. THOMAS, fur the plaintiff, contended that the money
ought to have been tendered ro the plaintiffs—there was
no evidence that his clients had ever entered into any
agreement.

Mr. &won PARKE.—You received the money from the
bankers upon several occasions, and gave the proper re-
ceipts—surely that is evidence of an arrangement.
Mr. THOMAS denied that it was so. Suppose the case
of a landlord whose tenant wrote to him, saying that if be
called so and so, his rent would be paid, and that he bad
received it in that manner one, two, or three times ; would
that bind him for ever ?

The COURT said the action appeared to be brought
against good faith. There had been an arrangement and
no notice had been given for putting an end to it. The
rule must, therefore, be discharged, but without costs,
Rule discharged.

SANDERSON V. PARKER.

Mr. ERLE moved in this case for a rule to show cause
why the writ of capias ad satisfaciendum against the de-
fendant should not be set aside for irregularity, and why
all proceedings against the sureties should not be stayed.
The application was founded on the Act Ist and 2ud Vic-
toria, chap. 110, sec. 8. An action was brought again at
the defendant, and a bond for his appearance was given by
two persons. While the action was proceeding, the de-
fendant was rendered by his two bondsmen, and committed
by an order of Mr. Justice Coleridge. Now, the plaintiff
contended that the bondsmen had no power to render the
defendant before judgment, and having subsequently ob-
tained judgment against him, sued out a writ of capias ad
satisfimiendum, and served the bondsmen with notice that
proceedings would be taken against them. He submitted
to the Court that such proceedings were irregular, inas-
much as, in the case of " Ouston and Coates," it had been
distinctly held by the Court that the bondsmen might ren-
der at any time before judgment as well as after, and that
such render was to be taken as a dicharge of bail.
The COURT granted the rule.
TIIE QUEEN CROXON.

Mr. WATSON moved in this case for it writ of certiorar

bring up the depositions taken before the Magistrates of
the county of Bucks, against James Croxoii, and to show
cause why the defendant should not be admitted to bail.
The defendant had been charged on the oath alibis father-
in-law James Leigh, of Little Marlow, timber merchant,
with uttering two forged bills of exchange, dated August
1840, and his depositions were to the effect that he could
not write himself, and had never authorized the defendant
or any other party to accept bills for him. On the other hand
he l:ad the affidavits of John Griffiths, Henry Griffiths,
and another, who deposed that they knew the prosecutor,
and had frequently discounted bills for the defendant, ac-
cepted by Leigh, some of which were dishonoured, but all
eventually paid by Leigh. They also deposed that the
daughter of the prosecutor, who swore that she Lad never
been authorized to accept bills for her father, had done so
repeatedly, and that these bills were paid by Leigh.
The COURT, after hearing some additional facts set forth
in the affic'avits, granted the role.

The following new rule was this day read by the Master:
" Hilary Term, 1841.—1 t is ordered that a party en-
titled to appear to a declaration on ejectment, may appear,
and plead thereto at any time after the service of such de-
claration, and Mote the end of the fourth day of the
Term in which the tenant is required by the notice to ap-
pear in town cases, and before the end of the fourth day
after the term in which the tenant is required by the notice
to appear in country cases, and may proceed to compel the
plaintiff to reply thereto, and sign judgment of non
pross, notwithstanding such plaintiff, may not have ob-
tained a rule of judgment on such service of declaration.
And that a plaintiff who may have omitted to obtain a rule
for judgment within the time prescribed by the present
rules and practice, shall be entitled on production of such
plea to an order of a Judge for leave to draw up a rule fur
judgment as of the time at which such rule for judgment
would have been obtained."

The Court was occupied all day with cases from the
special paper, none of Is hich were of any general interest.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

( B lore Mr. Justice WiLLIA HS. )
THE QUEEN V. THE JU,TICRS OF CAERNARVON.
Sir F. POLLOCK moved in this case for a rule to show
cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue directed to
the defendants, and commanding them to hear and determine
a certain appeal for the removal of a pauper named Roberts
from one parish to another. When the ai)peal came on
for hearing, objection was taken that the notice did not
sufficiently di,:elose the I,,,rotiad, of the appeal. He ap-
prehended that such an objection could not be sustained,
and as the present was in the nature of a Court of Appeal,
when the Magistrates at sessions refused to hear and de-
tel mine (in which case that Court could not interfere) ho
submitted that he was entitled to the rule prayed for.—
Rule granted.
London, England, 1841-01-22

RANDALT. V. SWEET.

Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL moved for a rule to discharge
the defendant out of the custody of the Sheriff of Somer-
setshire, he having been in prison more tkaratwelve months
for a suns not exceeding 201. debt and coats. The
Learned Sergeant said that the application was
made under the statute the 48th of George
cap. 123, and it bad formerly been the practice of
this Court to grant in the first instance the rule
nisi only, whereas the practice of the other Courts had
alwa) 3 been to grant the rule absolute at once, upon affi-
davit of notice to plaintiff.
The COURT observed that in the present application
there was a defect in the affidavit of notice, namely, the
omission of an attesting witness to the defendant's signa-
ture. The Learned Sergeant might have the rule nisi
now, but it would be b. tter to amend the affidavit, and
Isave the rule ab,olute for defendant's discharge en another
application.

ANIMAL HEAT.---The pro3uction of animal
heat is one of the essential conditions of life; by its me ins
an equality of temperature in C
Cie body is produced in all
climates. Were this not the case, the blood ci those who
inhabit the northern regions would soon be7OlllC congealed.
Animal heat is generally supposed to be dneloped in the
lungs and all the extreme ve,seis, dwii.g the combination
of the oxygen of the air with the carbon of the venous
blood. Ceteris pa, ibug, the quantity of heat generated
will be in proportion to the integrity with which the
respiratory functions cre performed, and the size and
vigour of the lungs. In this way we account for persons
predisposed to conBumption, who have imperfectly deve-
lopedn: or diseased lungs, complaining of hat coldness
of the surf.-ice of the body and the feet. Peri,ons exposed
to thet be infl
inues I require enormous quanti-
ties of stimulating animal food. If the supply of - nutri-
mefliceeiden it,nten'e the blood becomes impoverished, arid
the production of animal heat in the lungs is sensibly im-
paired, and the ability to resist the operation of a low
temperature, is greatly lesiened. —Polytechnic Journal.

It is with feelings of deep regret and concern that we an-
nounce the death of Sir Samford Whittingham, Commander..
in-chief of this Presidency, which tocik place most unexpectedly
yesterday evening, his Excellency having been to all appear-
ance in perfect health a couple of hours previously. He had,
we hear, attended a meeting of Council, and was preparing to
take his evening drive, when alarming symptoms suddenly
appeared, and, notwithstanding the prompt exertions of me-
dical aid, he was carried off by apoplexy after a very short in-
terval. During the brief period his Excellency hag hell
command of the Madras army, his conduct has insured him
the esteem of all ranks, by whom his loss will be deeply la-
mented. _ _

The remains of this gallant and much-respected officer, whose
term of command here has been so brief, will be interred this
evening at St. Mary's Church, in Fort St. George, with all the
honours due to his rank. The flagstaff and the shipping in the
roads have Ind their ensigns hoisted half-mast high on the an-
nouncement of his death.— Spectator, Jan. 20.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

11031 E CIRCUIT.—CHELmsFoRD, 211.41 em 9.
The business of the Assize for the county cf Essex
commenced this day, and Lord Denman took his seat on
the bench in the Crown Court at ten o'clock.
Th, Calendar contains the names cf fifty-five prisoners,
fifty males and five females. Of this number twenty-two
can only read, or read and write imperfectly, and the re-
mainder are unable to do Not a single prisoner for
trial can read and write well. A similar state of thityri
appears a'most every Assizes, and it is a melanchsiy
fact in connection with the subject that the Calendar of
prisoners is always heavier in Essex than in any other part
of the Home Cirmeit.
Lord Denman addressed the Grand Jury, who having
retired for a short time, returned true bills against several
prisoners, and the trial; commenced.
Joseph Griggs, 24, labourer, was indicted for stealing a
ewe sheep, the property of a farmer named Sack, at Ray-
leigh.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the officer in-
formed the Court that he had several times before been
charged with offonces of a similar character.
Lord DENMAN said that the crime of sheep-stealing ap-
peared to be very much on the increase, and the only way
to repress it was by severe punishment. It was hopeless
to expect that a person who gave himself up to the com-
mission of an offence of this description would ever return
to an honest course of life, and he would only

was purely accio'ental, and that no blame was to be at_

that the months'
imprisonment upon the charge, he trusted

Lord DENMAN said he thought the circumstances 4 the
care ought o

likely they would hr ve done so if the evidence was not
not support It.
A witness was then called, from whose CS ilence it p"
