Schwalbach's column crossed the Tagus a little on this
side of Santlreal the day ky fore ych,rd,,,y. for the 4.u1•-
pose of joining 6.11di-ii,hu's dive ,ion. There ti-eTe nntC
tintilther dc,2Ertjues &ern to Seldttillv,
quarters at (urtaxo. nit; deserters declare the
Diario) that all within Santarem are greatly disbeartened
since the 26th, when the defeat of Sada Bandeira at
Valpassos became known. They add, that the troops
of the line under Das Antas's orders are determined at
the first opportunity to follow the example of the 3tl and
15th Regiments, and desert ever to the Queen's side.
This may, or may not, be probable. The people have
been too used to revolutions to have much fidelity for
any side.
The Diario further announces that Colonel Lapa's
column has routed a guerilla at Cadaval, north of Torres
Vedras, which had perpetrated all kinds of violence and
extortion, and that the men composing it had returned
to their homes, while the Colonel had passed on to
Caldas, having cleared the north of the Tabus of gue-
rillas. But while the country elsewhere is disturbed,
these detached guerilla parties only disappear until the
troops have passed, and then they are at the work of
plunder again.
Lisbon abounds with seditious placards and incendiary
publications, which sufficiently indicate the views that
will predominate in the event of the triumph of the de-
mocratic party. The game is now to preach up the fine
qualities of the heir-apparent (a child of 10 years), with
a view to procure his succession in the room of his
mother.— Times.

Y. CLEMENTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In the report of this case which appeared in
your paper of Tuesday last, you make the Attorney-
General, who appeared as counsel for the defendant,
state in his address to the jury that the action was one
of a series of actions against newspapers, and that an
action had been brought by the plaintiff against the pro-
prietors of the Plymouth Times for a similar libel as that
which gave rise to the above action. Now it so happens
that the article containing the libel complained of did
not appear in the columns of the Plymouth Times, and
consequently no action has ever been brought against us
as the proprietors of that paper, as stated in your report.
We will, therefore, thank you to insert this letter in your
next publication by way of correcting the error into
which your reporter has fallen, and oblige, Sir,
Your obedient servants,
SCOTT and HOPKINS,
Proprietors of the Plymouth Times.

PRIVY COUNCIL.

Her MAJESTY is expected to hold a Privy Council
on Saturday next, the 19th inst. 'At this Council it
is expected that the time for the meeting of Parlia-
ment will be determined on, and a proclamation will
be issued, summoning both Houses to meet for the
dispatch of public business.

Everything indicates that Europe is peculiarly at
this moment in a state of transition. Popular power
may be regarded as at its culminating point. The
two paramount forces of the Continent—the repres-
sive domination of the East and the regenerative con-
stitutions of the West—the hereditary legislation of
the North, and the elective legislation of the South—
are now more than ever endeavouring to counteract
the influence of each other. Time has not
tended to lessen their mutual antipathy : on
the contrary, their sentiments have become more
than ever embittered, their opinions have become more
than ever estranged. The common alliance which
was expected by many credulous persons to render
their reconciliation permanent, has proved only an
additional source of animosity. After a temporary
quietude of thirty-one years, the compact between
these heterogeneous powers has been suddenly broken;
their partial reliance on each other's integrity has
been utterly dispelled; the possibility of any
cordial co-operation between them has been
rendered more than ever dubious. The
consequence of this abrupt disseverance has
already evinced itself in the increased distaste of the
two divisions of the Continent for each other. The
monstrous cruelty, moreover, by which that disseve-
rance has been alone effected, has afforded additional
grounds for the rancour of the cajoled nations. In
the annexation of Cracow, Austria, Russia, and Prussia
have not merely violated their engagements with the
other continental principalities, but they have like-
wise directly violated the principles upon which
the very Governments of the West are based. Those
three despotic Cabinets have not merely violated cer-
tain articles of the treaty of Vienna, they have like-
wise violated the fundamental laws of humanity and
justice. In this latter violation consists their chief
offence.

Some considerable time has elapsed since the first
consideration of this perfidious act by the Northern
Powers ; some little time has already elapsed since
the seizure of Cracow. It is satisfactory, however, to

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
EX PARTE HUMANITY FRIENDLY SOCIETY.

This was a petition in the above cause on the part of
the presont trustees against the late trustees, to compel
them to act in conformity with certain resolutions that
had been agreed to at a general meeting of the share-
holders.

It appears that in consequence of some dissatisfaction,
the meeting was subsequently held or. the 7th of August,
and was adjourned until the 20th of the same month, and
it was unanimously agreed at that meeting that new
trustees should be elected. A meeting was then held on
the sth of October last, when it was resolved that im-
mediately such election was made those persons who
then acted as trustees, as well as the treasurer, should
hand over all property and effects they held, ex
officio, to the trustees appointed by the subscribers.
The defendants refused to accede to the resolution in
question, and alleged that the same had not been
taken by ballot, and that the proceedings were in
other respects informal. The Act of Parliament
was to the effect that when a majority of sub-
scribers decided upon changing the trustees, that those
who then held trust should give up the funds in their
hands to those who should be appointed to succeed
them. Due notice had been given, and all the requisi-
tions of law had been complied with. The petition also
prayed for the costs of a former petition in the suit.
Mr. Russell and another counsel appeared for the
petitioners, and Mr. Wigram for respondents.
His HONOUR deferred judgment.

Crown.

But, if it must " dissolve like the baseless fabric of a
vision,"—it was observed by one of the older Peers, not
attached to politics, but devoted to his Queen and country
—" that time only, the common enemy of all things,
should occasion the removal of the 'Pavilion; and the
vulgar auctioneer and his rude hammer, should not be
suffered to' knock down' such a work of taste and act."

SHOCKIN G MANSLAUGHTER.

It is with the utmost regret that we have to record
the occurrence of another death from that brutal and
sanguinary mode of fighting for which this county is
so notorious, in the case of a young labourer, named
John Rod le, residing at Stretford, who expired at the
Royal Infirmary on Saturday last, from the dreadful
injuries inflicted on him by kicking, or " purring."
The case is rendered more deplorable from the fact
of its having originated in " a lark," and the appa-
rent probability that no such fearful' result was con-
templated. On Monday, Mr. Chapman, the borough
coroner, held an inquest on the body, when the follow-
ing was the account elicited from those present at the
time of the fatal occurrence:—Decaased, Dennis Lowe,
Heaton Brown, and other farm servants of Mr. Tho-
mas Warburton, farmer, of Stretford, were getting po-
tatoes in a field, about half-past five o'clock on Monday
evening, the sth instant, when they began to throw po-
tates at eabh other in play, and one of them hit de-
ceased. Deceased became very angry, and gathering
up a large piece of soil, said, " The next person that
throws at me I'll throw this at him, choose who it is."
He had no sooner resumed his work than he was again
hit with a potato, when, suspecting Brown had thrown
it, deceased aimed a piece of soil at him. Brown then
threw at deceased, who slipped and fell down over the
soil, when enraged at having missed his aim, Brown
ran at him, and kicked him as he lay. The kick, a
most terrific one, was inflicted on the most tender part
of his body, Brown swearing at the time he would
punch his b— eyes out." Deceased then got up,
and said to Brown, " Thou hast done for me," in-
forming him at the same time he felt blood running from
his bAly. This Brown denied, and offered to bet a
shilling it was not so, but deceased replipd that was no
proper place, and he would show him when they got
home. Deceased then resumed work, and continued at

it a few moments, when having-off time (6 o'clock) ar-
rived, and the parties went home. A surgeon was sent
for, but deceased continuing to get worse, was next day

conveyed to the Infirmary. Here he continued to got
worse, mortification ensuing, and on Saturday he died in
a most dreadful state of suffering. Brown wore a strong
par of excavator's Loots, with cscel tips on the toes, and
is described by the witnesses having taken a furious
running kick at his victim. Since the fatal occurrenc-,
Brown has been unceasing in his attention to the de-
ceased, and has manifestecideep regret at the fatal con-
sequence. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaugh-
ter" against him, and he has since been brought before
Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey, and committed to the
assizes.—Manchester Examiner.

SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY,

John Pigot, a beershop-keeper, was charged with
committing an asFault on Thomas Edwards, a harp
player.

- The complainant, who exhibited a black eye, stated
that he was a musician, and was engag( d to play at a
ball given on the preceding night at the "General Aber-
cromby," in Suffolk-street. In the ci,urse of the night
it was proposed that a collection should be made in the
room for the musician, and the defendant voluntarily
undertook the task of collecting the money. When this
was finished the defendant handed over some money
short of the subscription, and this being observed by
some of the company, it was commented on in pretty
sharp terms ; when the defendant, irritated that his
character for honesty should be impeached, immediately
proceeded to wreak his vengeance on the unfortunate
harp player, whom he attacked and beat in a very violent
manner. A policeman was called, and the assailant was
given into custody.
The defendant was fined 205., and in default of pay-
ment was committed for 14 days.
Mai y Ann Davis was charged with wilfully breaking
a valuable pier-glass in the Equestrian Coffee-house, next
the Surrey Theatre.

It appeared that the defendant, on the preceding
night, went into the above house, and called for some
liquor. After taking it she went over to the glass, and
with her fist broke it in pieces. She was then given into
custody. The most remarkable part of the affair was,
that she did not cut and lucerate her hand. The value
of the glass was at least 21. 10s.
Mr. SICKER adjudged the defendant to pay that
amount, and in default of payment committed her to
prison.

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1846.

Un!ess some gigantic, systematic, and immediate
exertion be made for the physical and social salvation
of Ireland, the peasantry will not merely die away
from sheer famine, they will not merely assemble in
lawless and tumultuous armies, to the destruction of
public tranquillity and the subversion of the benig-
nant influences of civilisation, but in all human like-
lihood our sister island will be again desolated by
those most ruthless and bloody deeds of assassination
for the prevention of which the so-called Coercion
Bill was introduced last session into the Houses of
Parliament. We are not evoking any hypothetical
terror for the purpose of expediting the movements
of those delegated officials to whom the destitute
Irish are now looking for relief and employ-
ment. The dread of the revival of these heinous and
detestable crimes does not originate in the despond-
ency of a diseased imagination. We would to GOD
that such were literally the case! We would to GOD
that those indications of national despair existed only
in perishable dreams, and were not already written
upon that doomed land in characters of blood ! We
are speaking, alas ! from the evidence of many
damning facts ; we are filled with these trepidations
for the futurity of Ireland, because of a man shot
dead in the evening, at Ardcrony, while sitting upon
his own hearth, opposite his venerable parent
—because of another man beaten over the head at
mid-day, with the butt end of a blunderbuss—because
again of a third, at Castletown Geoghegan, being
dragged out of his dwelling-house, and treated with
ruffianly violence, while his unfortunate wife, " but
recovered from her confinement," is subjected to
similar diabolical treatment When it is known that
these things, have been perpetrated in a portion of the
United Kingdom, and remembered that many thou-
sands of our fellow-countrymen are writhing with the
torments of starvation' and abandoning themselves to
the dictates of despair, we cannot assuredly be ac-
cused of any exaggeration. Exaggeration, forsooth!
disre from Such a charge can
arisey
squeamishness or an execrable disregard
the gard
of circum-
stances. There is a dread
renewalfrom of the
.
Rockite villanies, and of those resulting Maguireism, Ribbonism, and the other pernicious
er Molly
factions which infest the island; and that dreadinszious
ased
ppon calamities which lave already transpired.
While the embarrassments of Ireland are increas-
ing. momentarily from dearth of provisions, from
/ad : of employment, from the diseases consequent
ape:, 1 inanition, and from the insubordination and

HORN FAIR.

--
This scene of popular amusement was held yesterday,
according to ancient custom, in the healthful and plea-
sant village of Charlton. In former times it was gene-
rally distinguished by riot and obscenity. Some of the
worst class in London made parties to carry out the
vulgar joke of f.ornuted husbands and wives. Horn
Fair (the common name) is now changed to Charlton
Fair, and the visitors, more enlightened than their Ml-
cestcrs, seldom indulge in those disorderly tranactions
which bore the stigma of indecency. It was formerly a
mart for various sorts of utensils made of horn, and tra-
dition ascribes the origin to King John. An amour car-
ried on by that licentious and infamous Prince with the
wife of an honest miller was the foundation of the fair.
John, surprised by the enraged husband, would have
perished under the uplifted dirk of the miller, had he
not saved his life by promising to redress tho injury.
The compensation was a grant of all the land
the miller could see westward from the top
of his mill. Agreeable to the royal donation,
a fair was to be held annually, on St. Luke's-day, for
ever. Such is the oral account of the fair from year to
year, and there is, we believe, at the present day, an
aquatic custom at Cuckold's-point,
where it is said the
mill stood, which bears out the story. The waterman,
as he passes the stairs, or landing-Place, frequently tells
his fare that a spider is crawling on his hat. The per-
son naturally takes it off his head, and then Old Charon,
with a laugh, requests he will
put it on again, having
properly paid his respects to the llorns at Cuckold's
Point. The fair is proclaimed at the noble mansion
now in the
Occupation of Sir T. M. Wilson. This beau-
tiful building was erected by Sir Adam Newton, Lord of
the Manor, and preceptor to Henry Prince of Wales, son
of James I. It forms, with the curious church at Charl-
ton, two of the most -striking features in that quiet and
picturesque village. Every preparation was made at the
Bugle Horn, and other respectable inns, to accommodate
company. The vehicles from town were numerous, and
arranged in fi
the parties found in the bustle and good cheer around
them all they could desire. Most of the houses were
adorned, as usual, with the flowers of the season—dahlias

LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1846.

Queen MARIA DA GLORIA of Portugal has been
duped into a proceeding most prejudicial to the
liberties of her subjects and to the stabilty of her im-
perial influence. Like Queen ISABELLA 11. of Spain,
her Portuguese MAJESTY has been cajoled into a
most unpopular policy ; like the Spanish SOVEREIGN,
Queen MARIA has been entrapped in the pitfalls of
French diplomacy. What the marriage of his Royal
Highness the Duc DE MONTPENSIER has done for
Spain the expulsion of the PALMELLA Administration
has done for Portugal. The independence of each
country has been filched from it by an unconstitutional
intervention ; the entire Peninsula is now nothing
better than an additional spot for the vassalage of
GU IZOT and BRESSON to flourish and multiply.
There cannot be a moment's question that the Cabinet
of the Tuileries is implicated in the late Ministerial
transpositions at Lisbon, and that it is implicated
therein most intimately and systematically. The
programme of the new Administration is of itself a
sufficient evidence upon that particular, and that evi-
dence is not so much in the appointments already an-
nounced, as in the startling vacancy which is ob-
servable in the Ministry. There is PARINHO for
the administration of Justice ; there is Poe-
TUG A L for the Marine; there is OLIVEIRA
for the Interior, and temporarily for Finance; there
is SALDAN HA as Minister of War and President of
the Council ; but where is the holder of the Foreign
portfolio ? Who is nominated to one of the most
responsible of all Ministerial offices in the present
dubious state of European, and especially of Penin-
sular affairs ? Why, it would appear that this de-
partment is iesehred for the Viscount CASREIRA,
the Portuguese Ambassador in the French metropolis.
Is not that a tolerably conclusive testimony that the
same wily diplomatists as have recently bartered away
the integrity of the Spanish constitution for the
sake of a superfluous bridegroom, have likewise been
the principal, though secret, instigators of the recent
catastrophe at Lisbon ? Is it not another instance of
that passion for foreign interference which has latterly
reigned predominant in the Council of Louis
PHILIPPE ? Is it not another and most lamentable
proof that the Government of the Citizan Urge—the
hero of the three day,s—the constitutional monarch
of 1830—the crowned patriot of July is striving by
all the artifices of diplomacy and all the subtle m
nations of ministerial guile to subvert the liberal m-
achi-
nations apnridneipanties annihilate

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Right Hon. J. E. LAW, Recorder.)
To-day was appointed for the sitting of this court, and
an unusual number of cases were on the list, in conse-
quence of the last court day not having been observed,
through a special Court of Aldermen having been called,
which the Learned Recorder had to attend. Some in-
convenience having arisen therefrom,
His LORDSHIP expressed his regret that the counsel
had been incommoded by the sitting, and he would have
avoided it if possible, but the intimation did not come in
time. This was not an adjourned, but a callendar sit-
ting, so that all persons interested might have been aware
of it for some months. His Lordship said 13 causes had
been set down for hearing, but only two would be heard.
Probably, after the proceedings had been commenced, the
parties had been brought to their senses.
The two cases, which were of no public interest, and
which did not occupy the Court ten minutes, having been
disposed of, the jury complained of being unnecessarily
detained. It appeared that, under the form of the sum-
mons, they were required to attend at ten o'clock ; but
there is a " N. 8." at the foot, " attend at a quarter to
eleven precisely." The " pains and penalties" hinted at
in the body of the summons brought most of the jurors
at least an hour before the time, as his Lordship did not
sit till eleven o'clock, and then eighteen jurymen were
called before twelve were found, many others being kept
in vraiting,although the cases altogether did not last tell
minutes.

WORSHIP-STREET

W imam Whitton, twenty years of age, describing him-
self as a gasman, was charged 'on suspicion of being
accessory to the death of his wife, Ellen Whitton, under
the folio ding circumstances:—

Edward Allen, a carpenter, of No. 8, Maidstone street,
Hackney, deposed that about one o'clock of Sunday
morning he was proceeding towards the Canal-bridge,
near Prichard's-row, Hackney, on his way homewards,
when he heard in that direction some persons quarrel-
ing He hastened towards the spot, and upon arriving
at, and looking over the parapet of the said bridge,
he observed the prisoner and a female standing
upon the towing-path, and distinctly heard the
latter use the words, "Sooner than put up with what
you have thought proper to call me, I will drown
myself," and immediately aftershe threw herself into the
water. Witness ran round, and observing the prisoner
making off, he said to him, catching hold of him by the
collar, "You vagabond, what, are you n going to
assist the woman out ?" Prisoner then said, " I'll give
you 2s. to do so; you know me, don't you?" Witness
replied, " I don't know anything at all of you whatever."
Deceased bad by this time sunk. He (witness) called
lustily for assistance, still holding the prisoner, who
made great efforts to escape. Deceased was in about
ten minutes got out with the drags, and the prisoner
was given into the custcdy of the police. Deceased was
conveyed to the door of the Sir Walter Scott public-
house, but could not obtain admittance there.
Police-constable 165 N, said that at about ten minutes
past one o'clock oh Sunday morning he was on duty near
the above bridge, when he heard cries of " Police," and
with a brother officer hastened to the place whence the
noise proceeded, and on arriving thereat he took charge
of the prisoner, whilst his brother officer fetched Mr.
Morgan, a surgeon, who did all he could to restore sus-
pended animation without avail. We could not gain ad-
mittance, and Mr. Morgan .expressed his opinion that if
that could have been accomplished the deceased might
have been restored. Deceased was afterwards
conveyed to the station- house. Witness had made
inquiries about the prisoner's character, which he found
to be very indifferent, as, although he had been married
only three weeks, he had, during that period, been cor-
responding with another female as a single man. •
Mr. BROUGHTON, in strong language, deprecated the
conduct of the prisoner, and remanded him for a week,
to give time for further inquiries respecting him; and
gave directions that the behaviour of the parties of the
"Sir Walter Scott' should be properly represented to
the licensing justices.

Joseph Parker, a boy apparently about fifteen years of
age, was charged with stealing one hundred cold: s of a
publication, now out of print, the property of Mr. Car-
diff, the printer and proprietor of the Court Mayazine.
Policeman F 25 stated that on Saturday night, having
reason to suspect that some stolen property had been
concealed in some barrels which were lying in Stoeltiug-
lane, near Lincoln's Inn, he searched them, and found
in one a parcel, which he now produced. lie left it in
the barrel, and remained there to watch the place. At
about twelve o'clock at night he saw the prisoner take
the parcel out of the barrel, and walk off with it under
his arm. Witness then took him in charge, when the
prisoner said that he got it from his master's office, that
it contained some tracts, and that he was going to take
them home for his mother to read. Witness asked him
who was his master, and he said Mr. Cardiff. The spot
where the paled was concealed was about three yards
from the b,ck entrance to Mr. Cardiff's premises.
Mr. Cardiff stated that for the last ten years a system
of robbery had been carried on by persons in his em-
ploy, and, though several bad been discovered and dis-
charged, the robberies continued. The prisoner was
employed by him as an errand-boy, and the papers pro-
duced were his property. There were about a hundred
copies of the same leaf of an old book, the copyright of
which was his (witness's) property. The work was out
of print, and very scarce.
The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed
for trial.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The once favourite melo-drama of Therese was revived
at this house last evening, Miss L. Melville sustaining
the part of the heroine. Her acting was beautiful. She
is a true artist, and thoroughly understands the power
of repose in intensifying passion. There was a quiet,
deep feeling about her acting, that rivetted the attention
of the audience, and at the conclusion she was called
before the curtain and applauded rapturously—a homage
she had well deserved. Mr. C. Boyce, a painstaking
young actor, sustained the character of Carwin very re-
spectably. They were, however, miserably supported.
A new ballet entitled LiseNe followed, which introduced
to us the Leclerq family, who it appears are engaged here.
After that there was a farce and the pantomime, so that
the performances were not over until nearly one o'clock.
This is too ;late an hour to keep children out of their
beds. We would reccommend the excision of the ballet
or of the farce, so as to bring the amusements within
moderate compass.
