PoIT-OFFIcz THEFTS.--A judicial investi-
ratibri 11,:s for some time back been making into an
: ilieged se:tes of thefts of money from letters passing.
lrough our Post•office, and we understand the result
I Jas. been of a very startling description. About 100 let-
Ors, it is ascertained, have been opened, and money ab-
stmt.( .ted to a very large amount, in various sums from 1Z
and .. upwards ; 70/. have been taken from one letter, and
altog ether there have been appropriated by some person
or pel .sons about 300/. It appears that, after the money
was, al ')stracted, the letters were, in many instances, per-
mined to pass on to the parties to whom they were ad-
dvessed. So far as has yet been ascertained, the thefts
c annot I
ve believe, be traced to any particular person.—

WORSHIP-STREET.

James Cooke, a well-dressed young man, was on Mon-
day brought before the magistrate from the police
station, and charged with violently assaulting policeman
White, 105 G. .

The defendant, it appeared, had been at the Grecian
Saloon, and he afterwards went to the shop of Mr. Phil-
lips, a tobacconist., in Bath-street, City-road, to get a
cigar, which he wanted to smoke in the shop. That be-
ing objected to, he became exceedingly abusive, refused
to quit the shop, and assaulted the occupier and a Mr.
Letilla, who was there. The policeman was called in
to eject him, in which he had great difficulty, and when
outside the defendant knocked him down and cut iris
head, and also tore his clothes.

The policeman had evidently been exceedingly ;mal-
treated.

The defendant said, by way of explanation of his con-
duct, that he went into the shop for a cigar, which he
desired to smoke there, and words ensuring ho admitted
that he did strike the parties, but he said he was very
roughly treated by\the policeman.
Inspector Shackell said he behaved very violently in
the station-house, and declared that he would have run
a knife into the constable if he had had one.

Mr. BINGHAM sentenced him to pay 4 4 fine, or be
imprisoned for the assault upon the policeman.
The defendant sent to some friends for the money, and
having paid it was discharged out of custody.

AZONMY-TRADE-COATIVIER.CE.

" We hear with great pleasure," says the Liverpool
Albion, " that trade during the past week has been bet-
ter than for any similar period for some time back. In
the sugar market there has been a brisk and extensive.
demand, and the cotton market continues active. The
imports of produce hare generally bee: heavy during
the week."

The Manchester Courier states that the yarn market
continues much in the same state as it was in last week.

LAW AND POLICE.

Yesterday a young man, about nineteen years of age,
son of Mr. Nixon, a respectable attorney residing in
Queen's-square, Bloomsbury, was brought before the
Magistrate at Hatton-garden, at the instance of the
father, who saw him wandering about the streets
begging, and in a most deplorable state. It appeared
every means had been tried in vain to reclaim the lad
from his bad habits, and he was committed for one month
to the House of Correction with hard labour.

Francis Pocock, butler to Mr. Thompson, a respect-
able surgeon residing in Berners-street, was committed
to the tread-mill for three months, for behaving in a dis-
graceful manner towards two young ladies in Brunswick-
place, Regent's Park.

SPORTING.

A person named Charles Thurlow commenced on the
10th of August, and completed on the 21st ult., at Nor-
wich, the task of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive
hours. In the sixth number of the Idler, Dr. Johnson
gives an account of a lady who undertook to ride one
horse 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours, which she executed in
little more than two-thirds of the time. The heroine
was conducted through the last mile with flowers and
triumphal honours, and the Doctor proposed that an
equestrian statue should be erected to her at her starting
post, Newmarket, to " tell the grand-daughters of our
grand-daughters, what an English maiden had per-
formed."

PROVINCIAL COLLEGES IN IRELAND.

A very long document has made its appearance in the
Cork papers in r.ference to the establishment of provin-
cial colleges in Ireland, to be founded upon the principle
of giving " industrial education" to the sons of the landed
gentry, in order the better to work out the objects for
which so many agricultural societies have been so re-
cently for Med in this country. This production is written
by Mr. Taomas Wyse, late Member for the city of
Waterford and a Lord of the Treasury, who states that
his propeSal had received the sanction of tl:e Whig Go-
vernment, and that the question would have been brought
before Parliament as a Cabinet measure " if the Liberal
Ministry had not been obliged to resign." Mr. Wyse
also mentions that Lord Morpeth has ex-officially trans-
mitted the documents connected with these proceedings
to his successor, Lord Eliot, in whose possession they
now are.

EXPLOSION AND FIRES IN
DUNDEE.

About half-past nine last night (Thursday), an alarm
spread that the mill at the West Wards, Scouringburn.
belonging to Messrs. Wyllie and Johnston, was on fire,
which proved but too true. A great portion of the mill
was destroyed, but we are happy to learn that the pre-
mises are insured.

In an incredibly short time after 'the fire at Wyllie
and Johnston's mill was discovered, an accident of a
much more serious nature occurred at the Gas-works,
one of the tanks having exploded. The building in
which the tank was placed was instantaneously levelled
with the ground, the walls of it being thrown flat almost
in a solid mass. Fortunately, the only part of the works
in which there were any of the workmen, or any human
being, was the retort-house, closely adjoining the east
end' of the tank ; and the consequence is that we have
not to record' the-death of more than two boys who were
sitting in the Seven workmen employed
t4erg, escaped, with one exception, without injury, and
-that slight. The effect of the shoCk -upon the adjoin-
ing buildings was dreadful. The Bone-mill belonging
to Mr. James Anderson, immediately .on the west of
the GaS-work, has , been severely- shattered, tho
windows were entirely knocked in, and some of the
stcin6s in the inside of the ,walls have:been forced out and
thrown to a considerable distance. A number of the
houses in the Gas Work-lane and some in Blackscroft
have been unroofed. The windows of Prince's street
Chapel, and in houses as far up as the Wallace-town
Church, have been smashed. In almost all the houses
along Blackscroft they have met with the same fate. In
many instances the window-shutters which were closed
have been forced from their hinges, and even cellar-doors
which were locked have been burst open. The shock of
the explosion was felt all over the town, and in a great
many places the gas was immediately extinguished by
it; and in the course of a very short time the town, with
the exception of those parts of it supplied from the tank
at the west-end, in the immediate vicinity of the fire at
Wyllie and Johnston's premises, was in darkness. The
confusion over the whole town was great, seine rushing
to the fire at the west and others to the fire at the east-
end, and none knowing where the greatest injury might
be done.

The body of one of the boys had been got, and the
other was in the course of being dug out of the ruins.
We understand their names are Warden and Bruce. The
fire was completely extinguished.—Dundee Advertiser.

CROYDON POLICE.

Three men, named Alder Bailey; and seat, were
brought before Messrs. -Reed, Adams, and _sutiterland,
' charged with felony, under novel circunastaok The
charge against the defendants was, that they nidawfully
rooted up and destroyed a quantity of shrubs and trees,
to an amount exceeding 51., and which, by an Act of
Parliament of the 7th and Bth Gee. IV. is declared to be
felony.
Mr. G. PENFOLD attended in support of the charge, and
he stated the circumstances under which the alleged
offence was committed. It appeared that a gentleman
named Rogers had let one of his houses at Croydon,
and there being some dispute between him and the
servant, the latter threatened that he would do some
injury to the property, and, in pursuance of that threat,
he removed all the furniture without paying any rent,
covered the outside of the house and every room in it with
tar, and employed the defendants to root up and destroy
every tree and shrub that was in the garden, and the pre-
mises were then deserted, and Mr. Rogers was unable
to obtain possession of them until it was given to him
by two Magistrates in due form. Having discovered that
the defendants were the parties who destroyed the shrubs
and trees, Mr. Rogers felt it necessary to take steps to
have them punished for their share in the outrage. Mr.
Penfold having read the clause in the Act of Parliament,
making the offence felony, said he should show that the
prisoners had destroyed property much greater than the
amount specified in the Act, and he should then call
upon the Magistrates to commit them to take their trials.
Mr. ADAMS inquired whether at the time the alleged
offence was committed the tenantcy of the party in pos-
session had determined ?

Mr. TENFOLD said it had not, and the tenant was at
the time in legal possession of the premises.
The Bench said that as this was the case, they
did not think the present charge could be sustained ; and
although the tenant himself might be civilly liable for the
damage that had been done, yet they did not think the
parties who obeyed his orders could be brought within
the scope of the Act in question.
In answer to questions from the Bench, the defendants
said they were employed by the tenant to destroy all the
things in the garden, and they were told that it was to
be laid out afresh, and they did not know they were
doing wrong. They also said that they were employed
to tar the outside of the house.
Mr. Pee,ford.gaid the work of mischief was not begun
until after ten o'clock at night, and they must have known
they were
.flOing wrong.
The Bench said that it was a most scandalous proceed-
ing, but as they did not think the charge could in law
be made out against the present defendants they could
riot proceed any furz.her in the matter.
The defendants were then discharged.

MONEY-TIZ4DE-C OMMETtC E.

The commerce of Trieste has been progressively in-
creasing up to July 15, 1840. In 1839 it amounted to
9,500,000 f., and in 1840 reached 12,000,0001., but since
that period has decreased. On January 1, 1840, the dif-
ferent ports of Greece possessed 2,354 vessels under thirty
tons, and 836 above that burthen. She reckoned 18,668
sailors in employ, and 15,891 unemployed.
A gentleman atßristol, highly connected, and holding
a high situation in the Custom-house, is alleged to have
absconded, having committed forgeries to the amount of
about 8,0001. or 9,0001. About 7,5001. of forged accept-
ances have been already ascertained, one or two of which
it is said are held by the braneh of the Bank of England.

ECCLESIASTICAL.
A French Paper states on authority that the Sultan
has refused to allow a Protestant Church to be erected at
Jerusalem. The English Bishop, therefore, on his arri-
val, will be absolutely unable to present to the inhabit-
ants of the country a celebration of his worship. Galig-
nani doubts the statement.

A " Chartist Clergyman" asks whether he may not,
when Parliament meets, omit the prayer for the High
Court of Parliament when he reads the Liturgy, as cler-
gymen at their option omit the offertory and prayer for
the Church militant, and as he fancies David's Psalms
very deficient in political allusions, why may he not in-
troduce a selection of Corn-law and Chartist hymns?

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS•
The Coventry family have refused to surrender the
ground in the Green Park, opposite Coventry House,
which was to form part of the new improvements, they
having it on a lease for sixty years, granted to them by
George IV., at a ground-rent of thirty-six pounds.

STATISTICS.

The number of foreigners who have been sent out of
Belgium, or As ho have been prohibited from -entering the
kingdom during the first eleven months of the year 1841,
amount to 1,350.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1841.

Within ten days there have been three great
meetings in the manufacturing districts, repre-
senting the interests of six or eight counties,
embracing not less than 3,000,000 people. At
Derby, at Leeds, and at Manchester, the same
or similar tales have been. told. There are great
numbers of insolvencies and bankruptcies. Ma-
nufacturers have in general been working since
1836 at little or no profit; but they keep their
mills going, because to stop them would be
utter ruin. Masters are getting out of busi-
ness as fast as they can. Workmen are in
general not above half the week employed, and
are poorly paid. The actual suffering amongst
them, their wives, and little ones, is appalling.
Multitudes are insufficiently fed, they are des-
titute of clothing, bedding, and fuel. Poor-rates
are extremely high, and are increasing, while
the means of payment are diminishing. Crimes
are increasing. Scores and hundreds of little
shopkeepers who have contributed to the
rates have shut up or have failed, or
are unable, from want of custom, to
contribute to the rates. Sictness and death
necessarily follow in the train of poverty and
want. Misery of the most afflicting kind pervades
this important and numerous part of the com-
munity-, with no present hope of improvement.

This is a very brief and condensed view of the
statements made at all these
meetings by resi-
dent manufacturers and ministers. All the asser-
tions were supported by numerous facts, and
there is no authority capable of gainsaying them.
If such statements be not credible, human testi-
mony is in no case to be relied on. Manufac-
turing England,
we are assured at all these
places, never was in such a deplorable condition
before, and great alarm for the consequences is
mingled with great affliction at the existing
distress.

It was also stated at these meetings, though

EVEN LNG SUN

Dar. BAINES again attempted to speak, but was again
received with immense hooting, and al sorts of oppro-
brious exclamation?. At length

The CHAIRMAN said it was now his intention to put
the amendment to the meeting. He therefore wished
them to understand that the question now before them
was whether they would lay a rate for the purchase of
additional burying-grounds.—(Shouts of " No, no.")
He bad no interest, no wish, to force it upon them.—
(Hear, hear.) He wished to avail himself of the op-
portunity of addressing that large and respectable
meeting, to state that something in the course of the
year must be done, or there would be a dreadful pesti-
lence in the parish. He had no doubt that those gen-
tlemen who proposed the amendment would introduce
some measure for procuring additional burying-ground,
and he should be most happy to second them.
The Chairman then put the amendment, when an
immense forest of hands appeared in support of it, and
the display was followed by loud cheering. He then
put the original motion, when, out of the assembled
thousands, we only saw one hand held up in support of
it. We have since been told by a Tory, that four
hands were he'd up for the original motion. If that
be any consolation, we are willing to allow him four out
of the 12 000, or rather, if both hands were held up,
the 24,000 hands that were there, particularly as one of
the four belonged to Mr. John Beckwith, reporter for
the Leeds Ldelligencer.
The CHAIRMAN then said, I have to announce to
you that the amendment is carried.—(Loud cheers.)
The vast assembly quietly dispersed at about a
quarter-past one o'clock.

w' rds, " Viva it Principe Infante," in large capitals,
formed with variegated lamps. This had a beautiful
effect. Adjoining the colonnade, and extending across
the street to the Post-office;some loyal and patriotic
individuals had erected a triumphal arch, ornamented
with at least two thousand lamps, surmounted with an
inscription commemorating the auspicious event. St.
John's Church was more fully illuminated than ever we
remember to have seen it, even on St. John's
day. It
presented a perfect blaze of light ; the -Court-house
opposite was also well lit up. The top of the
palace was covered with lamps, and over the entrance
doors were clusters of variegated lamps with the letters
V. A. Many houses were very handsomely and bril-
liantly illuminated, and upon the whole it was, perhaps,
one of the very best things of the sort it ever fell to our
lot to witness. We had yet a sight in reserve, which,
to the heart of an Englishman, was the most soul-stirring
sight of the whole. At five minutes to eight a signal
rocket was thrown up by one her Majesty's ships, and
at eight precisely, the Howe, the flag-ship, fired the first
gun of a Royal salute. Scarcely had the sound reached
our ears when we beheld the whole of the squadron in
an instantaneous blaze of light, from yard-arm to yard-
arm, from truck to hammock netting, nothing was to be
seen but burning port-fires. This lasted during the sa-
lute of 21 guns, wh, n the lights burnt out, and left only
the stern of that. noble ship the Rowe brilliantly illu-
minated. At ten the company began to arrive at the
Palace, naval and military in full dress, and assuredly a
more brilliant spectacle was never seen. Never within
our recollection did Malta put forth such an assemblage
of beauty and fashion. Pancing commenced at 10. 30.
and was kept- up until three, whm nearly all had de-
parted, highly delighted with the urbanity of their molt
excellent host, a better man than whom Malta never
could boast ; let us hope he may be spared to us yet
many, many years, as one who has sincerely at heart the
welfare of England, and the interest of this community
at large. The triumphal arch in Strada Reale, and the
lamps in the were again relighted on Thurs-
day night, whet a band played near it until a late hour,
amidst the joyous shouts of a large assembly of spec-
tators." •

The Malta Times of the sth says—
""This morning was solemnised at St. John's church a
grand Te Dews in thanksgiving for the birth of the
Prince of Wales, the Bishop presiding,• which was at-
tended by his Excellency the Governor, the Adtniral,
several heads of departments, the-members of the Coun-
cil, and a great yoneourse_o! people."

MAW AND POLICE.

George Haley, a middle-aged respectable man, was yes-
terday morning fully committed at Marlborough-street for
stealing publicans' pots. He has five times before been
convicted of the same offence, and had been but a short
period before released upon his last committal.
It is invariably observed that on approach of the in-
tensely cold weather, the number of charges for drun-
kenness at the Police Courts of the metropolis invari-
ably increases. No less than twenty-three cases of this
description were brought to Marlborough-street Police
Court yesterday morning.

places of public curiosity and amusement in the city on
the Lord's-day, being sometimes thronged like a Ariena-
genie. When I say the admission fee is taken off, I ought
to restrict the expression. There is an ineffable mean-
ness about the whole matter. On the Sabbath, while
people are admitted through the external portal of the
Abbey without fee, a railing or iron fence, the gate
of which is locked by the keeper, prevents them
from turning either to the right or left to explore the
curiosities of the Cathedral, unless they pay for it,
and turns them into the enclosures of the choir, where
they hear Divine Service and the music gratis, and
soberly go out again. But, it they are willing to pay,
they may run round the Cathedral on the Sabbath, and
in time of service, if they choose, as on any other day,
or at any other time ; and the admission fee of three-
pence at the portal being taken off to clear a way gratis
as far as the choir, makes the cost of seeing the Cathedral
on Sunday just three-pence sterling less than on a week..
day I "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but
ye have made it a den of thieves." It is mean enough,
in a great and wealthy nation such as England, to tax
the entrance to the house of God in the week-time,
gathering a pitiful revenue at church doors, for the sight
of the inside of the buildings ; but, to contrive such an
alternating tariff of prices for the Lord's-day inclusive,
is a sort of Jew-jobbing business, into which, one would
think, the holy Mother Church Establishment would hardly
condescend to enter.—. New York Evangelist, Nov, 20.
On the morning of the Queen's confinement,
Lord Hill was amongst those who were summoned to

Hill's inquiry as to how matters were, his Grace said,
