THE POTATO DISEASE CAUSED

BY INSECTS.
(From the Glasgow Herald.)
We are indebted to a Cambuslang farmer for the
following remarks on this painfully interesting sub-
ject:—
" It may be said by some that the primary matter of
importance, in connexion with the unfortunate malady
which has assailed the potato crop, is to provide a cure.
I consider, however, that the first point of information
to be obtained is the nature of the disease itself, and the)
causes which have produced it. No surgeon who wiabels
to do his patient justice will prescribe the medicine, nand
then try to find out the disease. lam satisfied that .1
found out the disease, and did so last year, but wax
laughed at for my pains. lam now prepared with proof
that the potato disease, both this year and last, was pro-
duced by the assaults of insects. In 1819, oats were
affected with the same disease—viz., by a small insect of
a different colour; in a great many parts of the country
the green oats got ripe in a day or two, and had a strong
smell, but when they were cut it put an end to the
disease. Many people may well remember also that in
1826 some fields of oats were attacked by the same
malady, and many of the shearers, when employed
in reaping, had their arms all covered with this
small insect. The green field of oats emitted a strong
smell, but when cut it put an end to the disease, as
above. In 1842 the turnips were affected by the same
insects, and in many cases they becthe a complete
failure. According to accounts, the disease was much
worse in England than in Scotland ; but I know, in my
own district, of some fields of turnips amongst which
scarcely a sound one could be got, and, what is very
strange, in some cases the root end of the turnip was
first affected with rot, although the insect only partook
of the shaw, and the disease did its work in a very short
time. In 1842, also, the bean crop was attacked by the
sameinsect, and was rendered a miserable crop in many
cases ; but also when cut and dried up the disease dial-.
appeared. In 1845, about the middle of September,
wonaered what was the reason of the potato shaw
so fast, and paid them a visit or two, and saw the same,
malady as at present, but gave little attention to it, as
potatoes were never known to fail in the same way
in our land before. The cry got up, however, that.
the potatoes were diseased over the whole country.,
but by that time the insect had disappeared, and had
left the malady its the potato ; but it was different
from its appearance in the oats and beans, as the
vegetable nature of the potato does not allow them to
be dried up in the same way. I have obtained ample
proofs as to the insects being the cause of the disease.
I know, in my own district, a farmer who had a field of
potatoes to a considerable extent safe, and they remained
so ; but the reason was plain : they were ripe by this
time, and the insect could neither get nourishment nor
shelter from a bare stem. I know another neighbour
who cut the shaws from the potatoes for the purpose of
digging for the Glasgow market, and left a small quan-
tity of those cut in the ground till common digging
time; these were all safe, but the others, where the
shaws were allowed to remain, had all become diseased.
I knew some cases in moorlands, and in low marshy
grounds where the potatoes were frosted to the ground
about the Ist of September, they were not diseased, and
the reason of it is plain, viz., the insect could not par-
take of a rotten shaw. Early potatoes, too, were all
pretty safe last year, and that was on account of their
being ripe. But they are nearly as bad as other potatoes
this year. lam perfectly satisfied that if any person
had potatoes at full size, and no disease amongst them,
that cutting the shaws to the ground would save them;
but if diseased, I have obtained proofs that they will
decay faster than those uncut. Potatoes are some-
times diseased, perhaps, a day or two before it is
visible to the eye, and this insect, though very small,
appears to be of so poisonous a nature as to affect
the constitution of the whole plant at once. The
insect is yellow upon the potato, blueish upon
the bean; greenish upon the turnip; and a dark red
upon the oats. It is about the size of a large mite; has
two long horns, black eyes, six feet, or legs; with a small
tail, somewhat like hairs; it has a small head, and a
large body; and varies in shape, according to its age. I
am satisfied that potatoes will become sound, without
any other cure, should the insect leave us—but it may
never leave our land altogether, it may have troubled our
country longer than any person is aware of; and as for
its progeny I will not attempt to say anything about
them. I mean to state nothing here but what I can prove.
It has been alleged for years that the potato had become
deteriorated, and would require to be renewed; but when
had we a crop like 1845? It is not a common thing for
run-out seed to raise such a crop. lam perfectly satis-
fied that a renewal of seed might be of much value; but
how to effect that will require some study, for I have a
neighbour who has :potatoes raised from the apple or
plum, and they are diseased already before arriving at
maturity—this being only their second year; and I airs
informed that those from America are diseased also. I
am satisfied that any man who lays prejudice aside, and
makes a thorough investigation of the potato, will soOst
satisfy himself of the nature of the disease at the
present time, when the potato and insect are in
progress. Wherever it appears to set in upon
the blade, it decays at once, or partakes of
the stem, which becomes like a piece of wood.
I am of opinion, too, that the potato is more likely
to be affected by an insect than many plants, owing to
the nature of its growth, for the young potato receives
no nourishment from the roots ; the roots nourish the
shaw, and the shaw supports the young potato. Some
persons attempt to say that the insect is not created
until the potato is diseased ; but, in reply to this, I have
only to ask one question, and that is—ls the gooseberry
bush diseased before the caterpillar attacks it ? I think
no man will attempt to say so ; but it very soon after
becomes diseased ; for, although this insect does not
partake of the berry, it nevertheless speedily decays.
What does the gardener say with regard to the apple tree?
I have seen the; blossom falling off, and the young apple
making its appearance very beautifully, when a cater-
pillar or maggot was found upon the tree, covered as it
were with a coat of mail resembling a spider's web, and
when this was the case the young apples fell off as if
they had got a night's frost. A great deal has been
written with regard to the potato to little purpose.
Some will be ready to say the same of this, but I am
perfectly prepared to prove my position as to the cause
of the potato disease. I own, it is true, that great care
ought to be taken with regard to the pitting of seed
potatoes to keep them in their natural condition ; if
kept too damp, they become callous ; if too dry, they
lose their proper nutriments ; and if too warm, they
will begin to grow before spring is ready for them. In
1845 I knew a farmer who planted an acre or two of
potatoes in the month of December, and again in the
month of March, 1846, he planted another quantity, and
those planted in the month of March showed the first
braird and the best crop, but are all now diseased.'

A WEALTHY FARMER.—The late John Swinford,
Esq., of Minster Abbey, Isle of Thanet, whose much la-
mented death, occasioned by a fall from his horse, took plan
on the 4th inst., in the 81st year of his age, is reported to
have died possessed of a quarter of a million of money, which
enormous wealth, it is said, he has bequeathed in fair and
just proportions to his nephews and nieces, Mr. J. Swinford,
Mr. H. Swinford, Mr. S. Swinford, Mr. S. Collard, Mr. J. S.
Basset, Mr. H. Horne, Miss Swinford, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. F.
Fox, Mrs. Cornish, and Miss Horne; and to his grand-
nephews and grand-nieces, Mr. D. Swinford, Mn, J. J. Wad-
dington, Mr. H. Waddington, Miss Waddington, Miss J.
Waddington, and Miss F. Wordsworth. To the Marquis of
Conyngham a small parcel of land which it was desirable to
add to the Minster Abbey estate. Nor have the poor and
needy been forgotten. The benevolent testator has left hie
nephew, Mr. It Horne, 4001. in trust to pay the interest an-
nually, on St. Thomas's-day, to certain poor old women be-
longing to Minster. To the Kent and Canterbury Hospital,
1001.; to the Royal Sea-Bathing Infirmary, 501; to each of
his servants, 19/. 195.; to each of his farm servants, 51.; to
every poor inhabitant of Minster, rated in the last assessment
at 4/. or under, 5/. Mr. J. Swinford, Mr. S. Swinford, and
Mr. J. S. Basset, nephews of the deceased, are appointed
joint-executors and co-trustees.—Canterbury Journal.
FLIGHT OF INSECTS.—A singular phenomenon Ore
curred here on Sunday last. During the entire day a heavy
murky atmosphere prevailed, hardly a breath of air being
perceptible, while the close dull warmth was most oppressir.

myriads of insects, which we are not entymologiss enough
to describe by name, but which appeared like large
winged ants. These insects settled on the iron rods Which
support the figure of the lion, while thousands clung to the
walls and the floor of the tower. Many thousands of them
fell on the leads, where they gradually died. In an hour or
two the great bulk of them had taken their departure, but
large numbers were left behind in a dying state. We picked
up a handful of them, dead and dying, and when placed on
a paper those which still retained life showed no disposition
to motion. They have expansive wings, their bodies being
dark and shining. Their heads are somewhat large, and
they are apparently armed with powerful forceps.—Lewes

ANECDOTE BY COUNSEL.—At the Cork assizes Mr.
G. Bennett, canvassing the term " temperate habits " in a
policy of insurance, said, " The late Sir Hercules Langrishe
was exceedingly fond of drinking, and being ill he consulted
the celebrated Dr. Plunket, who advised him to drink only a
glass of wine in the day. Sir Hercules promised to obey,but
the doctor called in upon him a day or two after, and seeing
his patient a little out of order, said to him, I hope you fol-
lowed out my advice.' I did,' replied the other. WO;
says the doctor, lam anxious to see the size of the glass,'
upon which Sir Hercules brought in a glass which contained
two quarts.—(Laughter.) The doctor then restricted Sir
Hercules to a pint of wine in the day ' and on the following
one, having called on his patient, told him to stick to that
quantity and it would lengthen his days. I believe you;
said Sir Hercules, for yesterday was the longest day I ever
spent: "
DISTRAINT AND RESCUE.—CORE, SATURDAY.—Be-
tween one and two o'clock last night a large number of per-
sons, to the number of about sixteen, assembled, and pro-
ceeded to the lands of Browningstown, in the neighbourhood
of this city, where there was a large quantity of corn in
charge of keepers, belonging to a person named Flyn, which
had been seized by Richard Longfield Jameson, Esq., re-
ceiver under the courts of Chancery, for arrears of rent due.
On arriving at the premises they demanded admission into
the barn where the corn was stored, threatening the keeper;
that if they did not open the door they would break it in
and murder them. Those inside being apprehensive that
violence would be used towards their persons, refused to
give them admission, upon which they broke in the door,
and knocked down the keepers, one of whom afterwardt
succeeded in effecting his escape through a window in the
attic of the barn. The party then tied the other man's,
hands behind him, and some of them suggested that they
should put the rope round his neck and strangle him, but:
this was resisted by others. Information of the transaction
having been conveyed to Constable John Cudmore, of th 44
Capwell station, he proceeded with some of his party it:
pursuit of the offenders, and succeeded in arresting two el
them carrying off a car load of the corn. Both of there
were brought before the Mayor this morning, and being fulo
identified as being of the party who attacked the barn, wen!'
remanded to take their trial.—Cork Reporter.

was made known to those parties that the Government
would not undertake that duty, immediate orders were
sent out to a great extent upon private account, which
were at that moment in the course of execution.
But he must remind their Lordships that it was not the
intention of her Majesty's Government to undertake the
duty of bringing supplies into the country. Whatever
was felt of deficiency, would be, no doubt, met by the
usual action of trade, or to bring supplies into the coun-
try. These would depend upon the importers, and he would
give this emphatic warning to those on whom these sup-
plies depended, that the Government wouldin no case
at all, except in some extreme exigency, interfere to
effect the importation. He would only say thus much,
that her Majesty's Government would feel it their duty,
in the event of any extreme distress arising, and he prayed
to God that it might not arise, but in the case of any such
extreme distress arising in any part of the country, the
place where that distress arose would be relieved by the
provision of work, by which the labourers might earn
out-door wages for those who were most distressed,
until some sufficient relief was obtained, and the necessity
for relief should cease by the generally improved
state of the country and the better circumstances
of the labourers and their families. In the event, how-
ever, of any extensive distress occurring a power was
entrusted to the Lord-Lieutenant which he should be
sorry to see entrusted to any one, however high hie
character or his office, except on extraordinary occa-
sions. This power was the ability in cases of exten-
sive distress, of calling what he would call baronial
sessions, and at these sessions the means of compelling
the district where the distress: might occur to enter upon
such public works as would relieve the distress for the time.
The Noble Marquis then detailed the other privisions of
the Bill, with respect to giving employment for
the people in baronies, half baronies, and parishes.
Her Majesty's Government in addition to this measure
bad brought forward another to encourage public works
in Ireland, partly by way of grant, and partly by loan.
These were the outlines of the measures he had
attempted to describe to their Lordships. He
had no doubt that there would be a pres-
sure for a time, in spite of all the efforts
of Government and in spite of all the activity of
commerce, but eventually the consequences would be
beneficial to the nation, and some ultimate good would
be derived from it.
Lord MONTEAGLE would be glad if he saw his
way clearly, even after passing through great
suffering and privation, to the happy results
which his Noble Friend had pointed out. He
considered that a Government dispensing food to the
people, a calamity in itself great, could only be
justified by the existence of a calamity still
greater. The circumstances which had prompted
Sir Robert Peel—with great boldness and with
greater wisdom—to purchase food for the people of Ire-
land no longer existed, and, therefore, he did not see
that any necessity existed for the present Government
continuing the same principles. He said he would pro-
! ceed to call the attention of the House to the second
part of the Bill, which was the question of labour. He
was sorry to discuss this question, which affected so inti-
mately the interests of Ireland, when so many of their
Lordships were absent, especially so many Irish peers.
He must say, that it was his opinion that the Govern-
ment would be disappointed of the effects which they
anticipated from this part of the Bill. He said the diffi-
culties with which they had to combat were greater this
year than those which had met the late Government.
That calamity was seen only in the month of November.
and prompt means were taken to provide against it; but
here, in the month of August, four months earlier, a
calamity was foreseen much more extensive and painful.
It would be unjust to the other Government, if it was
for a a moment attempted to underrate the importance
of this measure. A letter read to day from a magistrate,
bearing date, Aug. 3, describes the crops as being in
the worst of states. From this they might judge
of the magnitude of the coming evil. The pressure of
this falls, from the circumstances of the Irish peasantry.
in a way without example. In a case like the present
they would not be continuing the union they were so
anxious to preserve, if they were indifferent to the pre-
sent distress. Should it be said that they should come
forward and meet distress in the Scilly Islands and
elsewhere, and not feel for the sufferings of the people
of Ireland? He relied upon the law to ensure the ob-
taining of the benefits they contemplated. He confided,
too, greatly in the influence of the Board of Works, and
the selection of some of the officers was the most judi-
cious that could be made. Without the aid of private
subscriptions, the grant to the Board of Works would
be vain. He spoke the sentiments of a large and in-
fluential portion of the gentry when he said that
they did not require gratuitous assistance, and that
they considered any assistance which was not supported
by private subscription would be a very dangerous ex-
periment. But they were endeavouring to render theird
present measure palatable by founding it on the old
poor-law valuation. Why, it was admitted on all hands
that that valuation was most notoriously unjust, and
had been made in many instances for certain purposes
which were completely outside the contemplation of
the Acts of Parliament. He considered, therefore, that
it was a most unhappy choice; but he considered that
there was a more fatal objection to it, and that was that
it would diminish the out-door relief administered in
Ireland. He put it to their Lordships, would it not be
very hard to make the expenditure of a gentleman upon
his estate the measure for his taxation, and to make the
neglect of others the standard of their more alleviated
taxation. This was the principle which the present
Bill would introduce into the operations of the system
of relief.

HOUSE OF LORDS, August 25.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat upon the
W oolsack at Five o'clock.
Messengers from the Commons brought up several
Ili Us, and prayed their Lordships' concurrence.
THE LATE GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.
Eaerl of RIPON begged to occupy their Lord-
ships' attention for a few minutes while he alluded to a
subject aviaich had lately been referred to in their Lord-
ships'reeesse. He greatly regretted that he had not been in
the H °lase when it was under consideration, or it would
not I save been necessary for him now to allude to it, but
feel; Lag that it personally concerned himself, he felt it to
he his duty to request their Lordships' attention while
hee, briefly explained the circumstances of the
n'astter, so far as he himself was concerned.
lie had come to town to-day for the purpose of entering
in to a full explanation of the whole of the circurn-
'stances connected with this subject ; but the situation
:in which the matter now stood, and referring to
-what was said by his Noble and 'Learned Friend
(Lord Lyndhurst) the other night, in vindication of
_himself and him (Lord Ripon), he did not know that it
was necessary fur him to trouble their Lordships by
pursuing that course, and ha -would willingly abstain
from saying anything to Vaeir Lordships if he could
reconcile it to a sense of -what he owed personally to
their Lordships. But this he was confident of, that he
did then upon his hoessur as a gentleman, and if that was
the last word that he should utter on this side of the
grave, he did. absolutely deny, in the most
unequivocal manner, that there either is or
was the sligh!eest foundation for the imputation that was
cast upon him,—(Hear, hear.) It was not an imputa-
tion that affected him merely in his political capacity,
but it was one which mixed up a more grave and seri-
ous accusation, namely, that of trafficing in a matter
of ecclesiastical patronage—(Hear, hear) and of
endeavouring, by a most scandalous interchange
of advantages, to obtain for a friend of his a living of
which he was desirous of possessing himself. That the dis-
position of ecclesiastical patronage was a matter of awful
responsibility—(Hear, hear)—and did not concern the
mere temporal advantages of those whom the minister
of a palish presided over, but related to their
etern'AJ interests, no one could doubt ; and to suppose
that, uny man of any feeling who had a sense of what
wren right would be guilty of such dishonourable and
scane,alous traffic, he thought was impossible, and par-
t;.ctif arly in his case, in which his conduct was as provably
clear as the sun was visible at noonday.—(Hear.) With
what feelings—if this charge were true—with what feel-
ings, he would ask, could he enter the walls of that
parish church, in which parish was his residence, the
-whole of which belonged to him, except that portion which
was the clergyman's glebe ? What would be his feelings
except those of shame and degradation when he entered
the walls of that church? a sense of shame more easily
to be conceived than described, if he was guilty of
such dishonourable and scandalous conduct. He
rested his vindication, then, upon this statement ;
he stood upon his own character—(Loud cheers)—
which for upwards of thirty years had been open to their
Lordships and the country, and if that was not adequate
to defend him against this attack, no explanation or argu-
extent could do so.--(Hear.) But one most extraordinary
circumstance, in his opinion, attending this accusation
was that no notice was ever given to him of the intention
to bring any such charge. He knew, indeed, by acci-
dent, that a question was to be put upon a certain
matter, but as there was no truth in the allegation that
had been made, he did not apprehend that it would be
necessary for him to say anything in reply.
The accusation was preferred before he had time to
attend to it himself or to instruct any friend to refute
it for him. He was as much astonished when he heard
the accusation, as if he had been accused of having
committed murder. He said that such a proceeding
was neither usual nor courteous, and, above all, it
was not just ; and it was the last time which
should have been chosen to make such a
grave accusation in such a manner, and in such a hurry
without giving the individual accused any opportunity of
at once vindicating his character. This scandal pro-
ceeded feorn some unknown and unnamed person. He
was saiei to be eminent in his profession. What profession?
Was i the law—the church? Did he honour the army
with his name? What was he? Who was he? He
knew not, and he cared not. He did not
know what he was, but he could not help
knowing what was more to the purpose. He
had stated in the newspapers, and had volunteered
to make a written statement, on which this charge was
founded. What did he infer from that? That the in-
dividual had no intention to advert to the topic at all if
it had not been for the written paper. Where was
that paper? Was he not entitled to ask for that upon
which had been founded an indictment on which he had
been arraigned and found guilty in the opinion of even
one individual? He said, again, that he had a
right to ask where was the paper ? Did it exist ? In
whose hands was it ? Was it in the hands of the indi-
vidual called upon to use it ? He doubted it very much.
If it was not, on what grounds could it be regarded as a
proof, or as the ground of a charge (against him,
when he was not permitted to know what the
contents of that paper were. It was an unheard-
of system, and also it was an unjust one.
In order to show the degree of credit to which this
nameless informer was entitled, it was stated that he
'was a person who was closely connected with the living
of Nocton. Now, what did be know about it ? What
could he know about it, or any circumstance connected
with it, which induced him to apply to another person ?
It evaA a remarkable thing, that there had been in that
livitig during the last eighty years only two incumbents.
The last incumbent resided there thirty-one years, and
the) other forty-eight years. He (Lord Ripon) had as-
certained with regard to the individual who had lived
there at the former period that he could not hare com-
plained, because he (Lord Ripon) had recently seen
his son, and with respect to that person it was impos-
sible that any information could have been
obtained or possessed by any person from him,
which could have been made the foundation of the charge.
He did not believe that any person who bore the name
of Hobart—which was the name of the last incumbent—
would ever be guilty of giving such information as
'would injure his reputation—would be guilty of
giving such information as would hold him up to
public reprobation. He did not believe that
any one of the inhabitants of the parish with which his
family had been so long connected would do so. They
respected himself ; they loved his family ; he did not
therefore believe that any one of these individuals
had furnished this information.—(Hear.) He felt it
unnecessary to enter into any detail as to those
charges ; but, conscious as he was of his own
innocence, conscious as he was of the injustice of the
aspersions which had been attempted to be cast upon
him, conscious of the total want of the truth of those
aspersions from the beginning to the end, he repudiated
them. His character had been attacked, a great
injury had been inflicted on him, but he still told their
Lordships that he would rather be the victim of that
person's accusations he would rather carry with
him to the grave the sense and feeling of the
injury, than be the anonymous author of that calumny.
Messengers from the other House then brought up
several Bills.
POOR EMPLOYMENT (IRELAND) BILE.
lord LANSDOWNE, on the order of the day being
read for going into Committee on this Bill, said he
would then enter into the provisions of it. He referred
their Lordships to the volume of correspondence
on. their Lordships' table, out of which this
Bill had originated. He said they would see
in that volume all the various circumstances
of the distress which existed in different districts in
Ireland, from a disease in, and the failure of, the
potato crop. The late Government, seeing that, had—
and most properly in his opinion—originated men
sures for the relief of the people afflicted under
these circumstances. But notwithstanding this
efforts which had been made by the late Government,
new prospects had opened up of such distress that her
Majesty's Ministers did not think they could allow Par-
liament to separate without providing for the emer-
geracy. The late Government were justified in the
steps they had taken under the circumstances that then
existed. In the second place, the circumstance
that occurred was quite novel. Besides, it could
be scarcely supposed that the ordinary means to meet
the want of food could be immediately and effectively
resorted to. The measures that had been taken had the
effect of preventing that upward tendency in the price
of the staple food of the country which occurred under
such circumstances as the present. He would therefore
call their Lordships' attention to the fact, that
during the last month they had been sitting they
had heard renewed accounts of the distress in Ireland,
and, were induced to recommend for the adoption of the
Houses of Parliament such remedial measures as the na-
ture of this calamity might require. In doing that, her
Majesty's Government, as well as the late Govern-
ment, felt the weight of the responsibility that was
thrown upon them. They considered that it
would be culpable in them, the Government if
they proposed any measure which could in any way
interfere materially with the supply obtained through
the ordinary channels afforded by commercial enterprise.
This he need hardly state to their Lordships, who were
very conversant with such subjects, was one of the most
delicate operations in which any Government or
any Parliament could engage, because the inevitable
consequence of interfering with the artificial supply of
food would be to dry up the channels through which food
was ordinarily supplied, as well as any attempt to inter-
fere with the ordinary principles which regulated the
demand for labour, by making the demand artificial in
one quarter was liable to the possibility of diminishing
that demand in another, and more extensive quarter—
the demand which originated for labour from the
cultivators and proprietors of the soil. They had, there-
fore, been endeavouring to avoid both these consequences
in the measures that were now placed on the table. With
respect to the supply of food, he was enabled
distinctly to state that there was no inten-
tion, under any circumstances, to introduce food into
the country under its agency, because-there was a perfect
and just reliance, from all the knowledge which they
had obtained on this subject, and from the successes
which had already attended private speculators, after
information acquired as to the extent and production of
that particular quality of food upon which private specu-
lation had been brought to bear—he said there was
a confident reliance that as the demand grew
so would the supply, and that the supply of meal which
had already reached Ireland would be followed up by
other supplies, which, it was hoped, if they did not alto-
gether remove the danger of scarcity, that the supply
would at least to a great degree diminish that scarcity.
Upon the'.; e•-',ject, therefore, he had the nega-
tive to .hat Government would not
become the importers of corn or meal, and he
had reason to know that the late speculations
were suspended for a time within the last six weeks,
under the apprehension that the Government might
possibly again have recourse to that s eecies of commerce,
ttod become impellers QI Min; flit " gay evil asst ii

The Earl of WICKLOW could not allow a subject
of so much importance to pass by without saying a word
or two upon it. He thought Government had shown
much good sense in the plan they had proposed, and he
promised their Lordships to use his best endeavours to
secure its success. He regretted exceedingly that so
heavy and sudden a calamity had fallen upon the sister
kingdom, but he was sure of this, that the steps Go-
vernment were taking would insure a sufficient supply of
food and employment for the people. He disapproved
of the plan for placing the constabulary force under the-
control of the Government, because the 50,0001. which
it would remove from the burdens on land would in no
way benefit the people, while the relief itself was so
small as to be hardly perceptable to the landlords of Ire-
land.—(Hear.) There were several points to which he
had wished to refer, but at that late hour he should re-
frain from doing so, contenting himself with sincerely
thanking Hon. Gentlemen for the anxiety they had ma-
nifested to do all in their power to remove or alleviate
the prevalent disease and distress of Ireland.—(Hear.)
The Duke of GRAFTON attributed much of the dis-

derably reduced estimate. The cost of construction also
will be reduced, by arrangements which have been
entered into between this Company and the Liver-
pool, Manchester, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Rail-
way Company, for making a portion of the line
in Wen.leydale jointly with that company. If there-
fore these arrangements are carried'out, the amount of
each share will consequently be reduced in the amended
Bill. The directors therefore request a general autho-
rity from this meeting to go to Parliament next session,
for power to make all necessary modifications of the
line; and to treat with other companies if deemed expe-
dient, subject of course to the approval of a future
general meeting.
" The Act requires that the directors to whose future
management the affairs of the Company shall be com-
mitted, be elected at this meeting. The board beg to
suggest to the proprietors that the number be continued
at eighteen, and those eighteen named in the Bill being
eligible, be recommended to the meeting for re-election ;
and it is proposed that the services of the directors be
continued without remuneration until the next general
meeting of the shareholders.

" Two auditors must be at the same time appointed by
this meeting, and the directors recommend Richard
Dutton, Esq., of Denmark Hill, Surrey, and James
Gandy, Esq., of Heaves Lodge, Westmoreland, as fit
persons for that office, and the remuneration which they
suggest is 20/. to each annually.
" The directors have secured the services of Charles
Locock Webb, Esq., as secretary, and they unanimously
recommend that a salary of 5001. per annum be autho-
rised by the meeting to be paid to that officer.
" The directors do not intend to make any call on the
proprietors previous to the next general meeting, and
they give notice that interest, at the rate of 4 per cent.
per annum, will be paid on all calls.
" Resolutions will now be submitted to the meeting,
embodying the various matters herein treated upon, in-
cluding one stating that the next general meeting will
he held in February, 1847, the day to be fixed hereafter
by the board."

The CHAIRMAN moved that the report now read be
received and adopted, and printed for circulation
amongst the sharehtders. In doing so he commented
briefly upon the various points mooted in the report.
The Northern Counties Union was a junction of two
railways that went to Parliament last session for two
separate Bills, but had since amalgamated, upon the
suggestion of the Committees to whom the Bills had
' been referred. The Bill for the amalgamated lines had
passed on the 27th July last, and that meeting was called
for the purpose of carrying the Act into opera-
tion for approving of it, electing officers,
and vesting them with powers of management.
The directors came from different companies, and pre-
viously had divided interests, but now they were united
and determined to prosecute the line under their care
with all the diligence and perseverance they could com-
mand, that was, of course, if that meeting elected them
that day. If they were elected, it would be one of their
tasks to work cut the capabilities of the line at the
least possible cost. lie thought the expenses
could be reduced, and the directory, if elected, thinking
so, would, next Parliament, go for an amended Bill,
to enable them carry out their improved and
more economical views. As to the engineering
difficulties, he thought they had been exaggerated, but
that would be a subject for consideration when they ap-
plied for their amended Bill. With the contemplated
reductions the amount of shares would be considerably
reduced, and if it was the wish of the meeting that the
directors should receive a general authority to do what
was right and necessary, he for one, and on the behalf
of the board, could assure the proprietors that no exer-
tions should be wanting to promote their interest and
carry on the business of the Company in the wisest
manner and on the most economical principles.
By the opposition they had encountered, he could only
say that he thought he had good reason for thinking
that part of the large sum of money expended in op-
posing their measure must have come out of the funds Of
some established company. Ile had some persons in his
eye, but it would not be prudent for him to indulge in
any personalities. He made a few other brief remarks
referring to the election of officers, and then moved that
the report be received and adopted.
Mr. DUTTON seconded the proposition, which was
carried unanimously.
Other resolutions, in accordance with the recommen-
dation contained in the report, were then put to the
meeting and adopted nem. con. The directors named in
the Act were then elected, and their remuneration fixed
at 1,0001. for the ensuing year, at the request of the
great body of the proprietors.
Thanks to the Chairman and directors were then
carried, and the meeting separated.

NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION
RAILWAY (LATE YORKSHIRE AND GLAS-

GOW UNION AND YORK AND CARLISLE).
The first general meeting of the proprietors of the
above Company, after its:incorporation, was held yester-
day at the London Tavern, at one o'clock. The chair
was taken by Major Beresford. Previous to his arrival,
to save time, the Secretary (Mr. Webb) read the ad-
vertisement convening the meeting, and went through
the usual formalities in opening the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting was called in pur-
suanee of the advertisement read to them, calling the
first general meeting of the Northern Counties Union
Railway, by which name he should for the future de-
nominate the recently amalgamated companies. The
report, which the Secretary would read to them, had
been unanimously adopted by the directors at their
meeting yesterday.
The SECRETARY then read the following report:—
" The directors appointed by the Act of incorporation,
at this the first general meeting, held as required by
law, within one month from the date of receiving the
royal assent, beg to lay before the proprietors a state-
ment of the funds of the amalgamated Companies,
made up as accurately as possible, considering that the
separate accounts of distinct companies had to be taken
into consideration, which separate accounts will be ren-
dered in detail to the shareholders of each company, as
originally registered, so soon as they can be accurately
prepared. Those of the York and Carlisle are already
published. The statement is as follows:

Dr.
To payments to be made by the York-
shire and Glasgow Union Company,
on 29,095 shares, at 11. sa. per share £36,368 15 0
To payments to be made by the York
and Carlisle Company, on 27,861
shares, at 11. ss. per share 34,826 5 0

By funds in bankers' hands (Messrs
Wakefield, Crewdson, & Co., Kendal) 34,826 5 0

£71,195 0 0
" The directors after a careful consideration of the
undertaking, are fully convinced of the importance of
the communications the line will establish, and the re-
sources of the extensive districts through which it
passes, but have come to the resolution, that it would not
be expedient to commence at present, a heavy outlay on
the whole line simultaneously ; but that it would be
more prudent to re-survey the expensive portions of it,
and to apply to Parliament next session for an amended
Bin, by which the line may be constnoted at a consi.l

(From the London New Price Current of August 25

SUGAIL—To-day all descriptions of West India Musco-

submitted to a reduction of 6,1 per cwt, and the private pur-
chases did not exceed 240 hhds and trcs.

mand, and prices have assumed a downward tendency, brown
grocery lumps selling at 635, and standard lumps at 63s 6d
to 64s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little wanted, but
fine quality is not to be obtained under 33s 9d per cwt.

sale amounted to 4,873 bags. The chief part sold in conse-
quence of merchants reducing their prices is per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was well sup-
plied With Bengal Sugar, the quantity offered at public sale
amounting to 6,071 bags; nearly the whole sold, white and

1,220 chests of Yellow Havannah imported by a foreign ship

ter than nominal at 193 to 24s fur low to fine quality. Ben-
gal Treacle is heavy of disposal, and the tendency of prices
is downwards.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was in dull de-
mand, and at public sale 625 baleslB half-bales imported from

offered at auction ; the Plantation was nearly all sold in con-
sequence of merchants submitting to rather lower rates.

proved in value. Ginger has only been in limited demand,
and prices are on the decline.

180,00 C/. The market has a very dull appearance for all de-
scriptions, and prices are on the decline. Picking has alrealy
commenced, and which is earlier than for many years. The
yield of Hops will be much greater than it was last season,

pearance, and only limited parcels have been disposed of, but
holders are enabled to obtain 2s 5d to 2s Gd for proof strength.
Calcutta has met with little attention, but is 110 to 2s are
the rates insisted upon for proof with certificate. For Ja-
maica there are few purchasers, and in some cases rather
lower rates are taken. In Demerara there has been little
passing. Brandy has been in excellent request, and prices
are still on the advonee. Geneva is wanted fur export, and
the parcels sold were at 2s id to 2s 2d for common.

tract, and full rates are paid. Cod is held for 27/ to 281, but
the amount of business done has been unimportant. In
Southern several purchases have been made, and prices are
firm at 251 to 25/ 103 for fine quality, 24/ to 231 lOs for good,
and at 231 to 231 15s for low and middling. Sperm has been
only in moderate demand, but no further decline has taken
place.

TALsow.—Russian has been purchased with increased
freedom on the spot, and prices have advanced 3d to 6d per
cwt. For forward delivery the demand has been good, and

CENTRAL CRINIINA.L COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman Huairas).
Jeremiah Roscoe, 25, and Mary Roscoe, 53, his mother,
were indicted for stealing some carpet, the property of Messrs:
Rollison and Co.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted,:and Mr. Doane appeared for the
defence.
These prisoners were tried last week in the New Court,
upon four indictments for robbing the same prosecutor of
property to a large amount; but, although there was very
little moral doubt of their guilt, and that the father of the
prisoner Jeremiah, who has absconded, was also concerned in
carrying on an enormous system of plunder upon the prose-
cutors, the legal evidence was inr.ufficient to convict them,
and they were consequently acquitted.
The prisoners were also fortunate upon this indictment,
the jury again returning a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoner Jeremiah was then arraigned upon another
indictment, for stealing a mahogany table, the property of
the same prosecutor.
Under this indictment the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
,% Mr. Cr-Aria:sox said there was another indictment against
the mother for stealing a quantity of bed-ticking, but as he
did not think the legal evidence was sufficient to justify a
conviction he should not proceed with it, and a verdict of
Not Guilty was accordingly returned.
The RtfconuEn, in passing sentence, observed that although
the prisoner, Jeremiah Roscoe, was the only one against whom
a conviction had been returned, yet there was no doubt that
he and his father and mother had all been engaged in a most
extensive system of plunder, and that they had actually been
trading upon the property stolen from their employers.
Under these circumstances he felt that he was bound to
inflict the full punishment fixed by the law for the offence
of larceny, which was, that he be transported for seven years.
Mr. CLARKSON said the prosecutor had been robbed of
property amounting altogether in value to between twelve
and fifteen hundred pounds, and he applied to the Court to
order such portion of it as bad been discovered to be handed
over to them.
The RECORDER made the necessary order.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

11. I I

Two young men, named William Hart, and Benjamin
Metcalf, were charged with having attempted to obtain
20 the sum of 221. upon a forged letter. The case was a
curious one. The presiding magistrate was Alderman
Wilson.

Mr. James Booty, of the firm of Stringer and Booty,
oil-merchants, of Leadenhall-street, said—On Saturday
morning last, we received a letter from Messrs. Segar
31,,i and Chadwick, York, dated the 21st of August, as a
matter of business. We also received from Mr. James
0..5,4 Chadwick, ORO of the partners in the firm, another letter
3 by the same post, asking us to pay Mr. Brown 22/. on
h account of James Chadwick. On my arrival in town, I
0. found the latter letter on my desk, and suspected that
it was a forgery. At about half-past four o'clock, the
prisoner Hart, came into the counting-house, and gave
to me a letter referring to the 221., and I asked him
' whom he came from, to which he replied, from Mr.
) Brown, for the amount in the letter. I told him
to wait a little, and I would return and give him a
cheque. I left him in the counting-house, returned with
a policeman, and asked him from whom he had got the
letter ; and he said from a young man at the corner of
tee. St. Mary Axe. I gave him into custody, and have since
ascertained from York that the letter was a forgery. I
then went to the'address upon the letter, and learned
from the landlady that the prisoner, Metcalf, who had
) formerly lodged with and robbed her, arid been pro-
secuted by her to conviction, had introduced Mr. Brown
to her, with a request that she would receive any letters
addressed to him there. Upon returning to the count-
ing-house on Monday morning I found that Metcalf
had, in the meantime, called to look after Hart, and
been detained by my partner ; and I directly charged
Metcalf as an accomplice. I referred to these letters, and
Metcalf said, "If you are going to take me away I
will tell the truth." He then told me that he had been
connected with the Mr. Brown, to whom one of the let-
ters had been addressed, and who went by the name of
Whisker, or Whistler.
Mr. ringer, the other partner iu the house of
Stringer and Booty, added to the statement of the last
witness the following :—About ten o'clock on Monday
morning the prisoner Metcalf came into the counting-
house, and asked if we bad not received a letter respect-
ing some money in the name of Brown. I said we had,
asked him to walk in, and sent for a policeman. Met-
calf then said he was desirous of giving full information
as he knew the parties. He said the party who had
concocted the letters was named Whisker ; that his
mother resided at York, and was respectable ; and that
these letters had been sent to a publican at York,
with directions to 'put them into the post-office there.
City-policeman 555, stated, that he took Hart into
custody in the counting-house of Messrs. Stringer and
Booty, on Saturday. Hart said he gut the letter he
presented from a man in the street, at the corner of St.
Mary-axe, but who that man was, or where he lived,
was not known to him. Witness took Hart to the place,
but could find no one there answering the description.
City-policeman 531 who took the other prisoner into
custody, stated that Metcalf said that he had been in
prison with a man named Whisker, or Brown, that they
had been both discharged on Tuesday last, and had
been lodging together in Aldersgate-buildings since
they came out, and that Whisker had borrowed his coat
of him, and had it on.
Alderman WILSON asked the prisoners, who fre-
quently during the examination declared separately,
that, however circumstances might appear against
them, they were wholly inrocent of any thought
of fraud or deception, and were wholly unacquainted with
each other, what explanation they could give of the case?
Hart said, " I met this man Brown on Friday night
in the street. He was a total stranger to me, and we
had some drink' together. He asked me to lend him a
shilling, and he said he should pay me on Saturday,
when he expected an order from the country for money.
I met him again on Saturday, and he borrowed another
shilling of me, and said he had received the order for
the money, but ho did not like to go for it himself, as
he was not on terms with those gentlemen, and I con-
sented to take the letter and went in with it, after being
told by him to write a receipt on the back of it. I know
nothing at all of this man.
Metcalf-4 confess I have been in Westminster Bride-
well for having made away with some of my landlady's
goods. I have, I solemnly declare, done nothing. since
that I ought to be afraid or ashamed of. I met Brown,
who went by the name of Whisker in Westminster
Bridewell, and he told me that his mother lived in York,
and had 2001. a year there, and that ha had respectable
connexions there. We agreed to take lodgings toge-
ther, and he wrote four letters on Wednesday, and on
Thursday he enclosed them in a letter to go to York.
He said that on Saturday lie should receive 15/. from
Messrs. Stringer and Booty, of Leadenhall street, and
a 149 PAM pa9ney frau Alton and CrilS, azid things would

The Milbank Prison Commission bad a meeting yes-
terday, at Gwydyr Rouse, Whitehall.
Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colonial-
office, from the Governors of New South Wales, Cey-
lon, the Mauritius, and Gibraltar.

be comfortable, but he said he must go by the name of
Brown, and the letters must be left at South street, at
the house of my former landlady, to whom I had taken
him the day before, and who acted kindly, although I
had treated her badly. On Saturday morning he went
to South-street, to receive the letters he expected. I
afterwards went home to Aldersgate-buildings, and
about 5 or 6 o'clock he came there, and said we must
leave these lodgings. I refused to leave them, and said
I had done nothing to make any one wish to
injure me. He then borrowed two shillings of
the landlady, and afterwards he borrowed my coat, in
order to pledge his own, to pay the landlady,
and he begged me to wait at home for him half an hour,
and I waited an hour and a half, but he never came
back: I supposed that he had rai:ed the money he
spoke of and was spending it, and accordingly I went to
inquire after him to get my coat back, and I was stopped
by this gentleman.
Alderman WILSON asked Metcalf how it happened
that he could think, after the punishment of Bridewell,
of joining one whom ho had met in the same place ?
Metcalf said he never had any idea of doing anything
wrong again, but he thought Whisker, who seemed to
have friends in good circumstances, not like himself, and
he (Metcalf) calculated upon assistance from that person
until he should get into some refuge.
Alderman Wxeson. asked Hart what business he had
been engaged in ?
Hart said that he had been a pork-butcher in Kent-
street, in the Borough, and iu another very populous
neighbourhood.
Alderman WiLson —What ! and after having carried
on business in such neighbourhoods you think you might
go to receive money honestly from a man you met in
the street ?
Hart declared that such was the case ; he had no
suspicion of the bad intention of the man whom he went
to oblige.
Mrs. Soden, of South-street Pentonville, stated that
Metcalf lodged with her about three months ago, and
on Wednesday last he came to her house with another
man. Metcalf asked her to forgive him, and said the
other man was a friend of his relations ; and intro-
duced him as Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown said he would un-
dertake to pay witness, as he understood Metcalf owed
her money, and she said it would be very acceptable.
On Saturday morning a letter came, which was
addressed to Mr. Brown, and he came about nine
o'clock and asked for it, and he seemed surprised that
there were not two. He.took away the letter, and said
he should call again to see whether the other be ex-
pected might arrive, but he never returned. Mr. Brown
opened the letter and read it to her. Here the witness
identified the letter which had been handed by Hart to
Messrs. Stringer and Booty.
Metcalf—l did go on Friday, by direction of Whisker,
to ask Mrs. Soden to take in some letters for him in the
name of Brown.
The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday.
BOW-STREET.
A bricklayer's labourer, named George Knight, was
placed at the bar charged with committing a burglary
in the house of Mr. T. Green, M.P., of 19, Duke-street,
Westminster.
The circumstances, as detailed in evidence, disclosed
an adventure, on the part of the prisoner, of the most
impudent character. A housemaid, named Sarah Herd-
man, having occasion to go to her bed-room at about
eight o'clock in the evening, discovered the prisoner
lying on her bed, apparently asleep. She ran down to
acquaint the butler of the fact, but on their joint return
they found that he had taken his departure from a
window leading to a balcony, hieing, also, an adjoining
bed-room. Nicholls, the butler, suspecting the route
he had taken, made his way on to the roof through the
latter room, where he found the prisoner in the custody
of police-constable A 39, who, having had his attention
directed by a neighbour to the movements of the man
upon the roofs of the houses, ascended and took him into
custody, although not without considerable resistance
on the part of the prisoner, while on the top of the
house.
In the possession of the prisoner were found a shawl
and dress, some boots, &c., the property of inmates of
Mr. Green's house, by whom they were identified in
court.
The prisoner had been seen by a female servant in
another house making his way to the roof by a ladder,
but was not suspected.
Mr. Ilestrer committed the prisoner to Newgate for
trial.
It was intimated to the Court, in the latter part of
the day, that a similar burglary had been committed
in the same division, and that the prisoner was suspected
concerning it. Upon this representation Mr. Henry
ordered him to be brought up again on Wednesday
week.
It was also stated that the prisoner, while in custody
in the nigt-cell, had actually robbed another delinquent,
who had been placed with him, of 4s. 6d.
MARYLEBONE.
RIOT AND OUTRAGE BY IRISH LABOURERS.—Yes-
terday, long before the period for the opening of the
court, an immense number of persons assembled in the
passage leading thereto to hear the examination of the
Irish labourers implicated in the outrage at Camden
Town, the leading particulars of which have appeared
in our paper. The case was called on early, but as the
solicitor for the prosecution was not quite ready, it was
ordered to stand over till one o'clock.
At the appointed hour the prisoners, 20 in number,
were brought in, and placed at and around the bar; they
gave their names Joseph Glory, John Crimming, John
Duggan, John Donohue, John Tracey, Jeremiah Kelahar,
John Brohn Patrick O'Donnell, Jeremiah Donohue,
Thomas Maloney, Patrick Ginnew, Timothy Kelahar,
Thomas O'Donnell, John Sheehan, James Kennedy,
Thomas Kinloue, John Cooper, Eugene Madden, Tobias
Hackett, and John Lyons.
Mr. Humphreys said he appeared in compliance with
the directions of the London and North-Western Rail-
way Company; and Mr. Robinson on bahalf of five of
the accused parties.
Mr. Humphreys briefly addre.ssed the Bench, setting
forth that the railway company, for whom he had the
honour: to attend, had works to a great extent now
going on at the Camden station, and that the prisoners,
with a vast number of other labourers, were employed
thereon they were in the employ of the contractors for
the works alluded to, and that, owing to a contention
between two parties, the Irish and English, a riot and
assault of a most desperate kind had occurred. Some of
the Englishmen, one or two of whom were in an
hospital, were so much injured as to be unable to give
evidence at present. The Company, from all the facts
which had come to their knowledge regarding the riot,
had felt themselves bound to take up the matter, and he
(Mr. Humphreys) was of opinion that he should be able,
by the production of numerous witnesses, to prove the
guilt of the prisoners ; in the event of his doing so to a
certain extent, he should have to pray for a remand until
a future day, when the injured p .rsons to whom he had
alluded would, he hoped, be sufficiently recovered to
make their own statements.
Several surgeons' certificates were handed to Mr.
Rawlinson, and it appeared that some of the injured
parties (absent) were in a very precarious condition
from sundry cuts and blows which they had received on
the head and body.
Many of the witnesses in attendance bore evidence of
the sanguinary treatment which they had received, some
of them having their eyes shockingly swollen and dis-
coloured, and others with their arms in slings. One of
them was scarcely able to stand, in consequence of the
kicks inflicted upon his head and the lower part of his
person.
The first witness called was
Carter, railway constable, 175, who said—Yesterday
afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, I saw a great
many of the Irish labourers coming towards Roundhouse-
gate, Camden Town, at which I was stationed, when
Duggan, who was one of them, crossed the ground, and
spoke to others at the gate. I told him I had orders not
to admit any one through the ground except those who
were at work inside, when he went back a little way, and
afterwards again attempted to come, at the same time
beckoning to one of his companions to do so too. I
caught hold of him and pushed him away, upon which
he said that if I didn't let him alone he would knock
my head in. I then tried to put up the bar of the
gate, but was prevented from doing so by three of the
prisoners and some others, who pulled me forward with
great force into the road, when the prisoner Glory, and
several more, struck me in a very violent manner.
I seized hold of him (Glory), and immediately I
was knocked down and kicked on the head and
body by him and about a dozen more. (Wit-
ness's face was much cut and bruised.) I cried aloud for
assistance, and on some of the English labourers at work
inside of.the gate coming to see what was the matter,
they were felled to the ground by blows inflicted upon
them with shovels, bricks, &c. I again laid hold of
Glory, and while in the act of taking him away, Cum-
ming and four others came up with brickbats and
threatened to knock my brains out if I didn't let him go,
and feeling convinced from their manner that they
would have no hesitation in putting their threat into
execution, I suffered him to escape. This morning
Madden came to the ground to take away some hods,
and he was then recognised as being the man who had
broken four of the ribs of one of the navigators (now in
the hospital) at the time of the affray.
Thomas Moore deposed to having seen the violence
committed upon the first witness, whose cries of " mur-
der" attracted him to the spot. He (Moore) was knocked
down by a blow on the face, given by John Donohue,
and he lay upon the ground nearly smothered in blood,
when he heard Duggan and Jeremiah Donohue say,
"Kill the ; let's slip it into him—let's murder
him." He at length got up, and while making off he
was seriously hurt in the ribs and legs by bricks which
were hurled at him by several of the party. He at
length with great difficulty contrived to effect his escape
from the scene of the outrage.
Mary Randall, wife of one of the English labourers,
said that her husband was a workman at the Camden
station, where she heard an alarm of "murder!" She
went there, fearing that something might have happened
to him, and she then saw a man lying upon the ground,
while five other men—Timothy Kinlahan being one of
them—were kicking him most brutally, crying, "Kill
the -- Protestant!"
Charles Kean (the man who was assaulted in the way
described by the last witness) stood up. He was shock-
ingly bruised upon the face, and his eyes were much
swollen. He had merely gone to see what was the cause
of the disturbance, when he was attacked in so savage
a way.

On the English labourers leaving the court they were
assailed by friends of the other party with loud execra&
tions, and one of them narrowly escaped receiving!
violent blow. The police were obliged to draw tbor
truncheons, and eventually two of the ringleaders well;
secured and chargul before the magistrate, who ordered
one to find bail, and .aned the other 10s. In order to
prevent confusion, and any ttempt at rescue, the GO:
as
being driven up to the entrance in r aradise-street, w
backed up against the private entrance in High-street,
ulaced
when the 'clock, instead ei
vernment van, upon its arrival at: five o
accused were without molestation&
therein and conveyed to prison.
The inquiry occupied nearly three hours.

VIE CHAMPIONSHIP of the THAMES.
The triumph of Coombes at the late Thames regatta
Is certainly not a contemptible matter ;
On the day of the contest, vast crowds took a ramble, •
To witness the struggle of Coombes and of Campbell ;
And the beats and the steamers were throng'd to excess
To see how the long-look'd-for match would progress.
And who was the winner? why Coombes to be sure,
From the drat of the struggle his fame was secure ;
His SUCCB3S Is applauded, and no one contemns
The glorious champion of old Father Thames.
And now having told how the race has been won.
Let us draw a reflection for MOSES and SON,
Who long on account of the efforts they've made,
Have been crown'd with the championship of the trade.
'The trade may be view'd as a river, and here
It depends how you " pull," it dependsihow you " steer."
Here MOSES and SON have been champions at will,
Having " feather'd" their oars with remarkable skill,
And none on the river of trade can you catch
With courage sufficient to venture a match,
IVhile MOSES and SON, through the efforts they've made,

the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and

many question!, natty be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

tocracy and " liaute Voles," from the sultry climes of India, and the
