LIBEL—THE QUEEN V. THE REV. JOSIA H BARTLETT-

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT,

This case was tried at the last Summer Assizes at
Hereford, before the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas,
and excited considerable interest throughout the whole
county at the time. The defendant was indicted for a
libel on his wife's sister, Mrs. Tolzer, and with therefore
committing a breach of the peace. The jury found him
guilty of the charge. The case was subsequently re-
moved into this Court.
Slr F. THESIGER prayed the judgment of the Court
upon the defendant, who presented himself on the floor
of the court.
Mr. Justice ERLE read the judge's notes of the evi-
. dente adduced at the trial; and the defendant handed in
an affidavit, covering several folios, which was read by
the clerk of the court. It set forth that he had been
married fifteen years to his wife, that they had had six
children; and that during the nine years they had lived
together the greatest affection had subsisted between
them, which had continued undisturbed up to the time
the matters before the Court occurred ; that no misun-
derstanding would have arisen between them but for the
interference of his wife's relations, particularly of
Marianne Tolzer, William Tolzer, her husband, and
Thomas and William Bett, her brothers, with the two
latter of whom be had some pecuniary transactions
early in his marriage, by which he had lost considerably.
He attributed much of this ill-feeling on the part of Mrs.
Tolzer to his objecting for some time to her marriage.
The affidavit then went on to state that the family of,
his wife had done all in their power to estrange his wife
from him, that they had generated ill-feeling between
them, persecuted him, and annoyed him in various ways,
by printing and circulating bills and publishing an ad-
♦ertisement in the Times, offering 201. for his apprehen-
sion, which he believed were
,paid for and circulated by
Wm. Tolzer, and concluded by justifying whatever in-
solence he bad exhibited, on account of the provocation
he had received. He denied that ho had any other
object in view throughout the whole of the transaction
than an anxious desire to live in peace. He handed in a
second affidavit,replying to the affidavit filed byMrs.Tolzer,
in which he solemnly denied that there was any truth in the
allegation which it set forth, that he had taken indecent
liberties with her, which she had indignantly repelled ;
he also characterised it as a scandalous and vindictive
document, and devoid of truth. He held that his counsel,
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, had made an ample apology at the
trial.

Several other affidavits were also read from parties
acquainted with the defendant. which testified that the
defendant and his wife had lived happily together. One,
from his eldest son, stated that his mother and father had
lived in harmony together, and that he recollected his
in other on one occasion speaking very loud in order that
the servants might hear, although his father did not ap-
pear to him to have given her sufficient provocation.
The defendant, at the conclusion of the reading of
the affidavits, exhibited to the Court two or three articles
of children's apparel. They were mean in appearance.
He should say any one who was the father of a family
would see at once that the things were not such as
were used in a gentleman's family. They were sent to
him by his wife's friends, and could only have been sent
to insult him.
Sir F. THESIGER then handed in the affidavits of the
other side, which the clerk proceeded to read. In the
affidavit of Mr. Tolzer, he stated that he and the rela-
tions of the defendant's wife had been greatly annoyed
by the conduct of the defendant, who had destroyed their
peace by anonymous and other communications which
he had sent to many of their friends. A letter which
the defendant had sent to his wife was then referred tb,
and the clerk was about to read it, when _
The defendant objected, on the ground that it was
strictly private, that he had sent it to his wife with an
endorsement, stating that if it was not read by her it
was to be returned to him. It was intercepted; she had
never received it, and it could not be read without com-
mitting a gross breach of honour.
Sir F. THESIGER also had an objection to have it read
in a public Court, but that objection was based on moral
and not legal grounds. Perhaps it would be sufficient
if their Lordships would read it.
Mr. Bolt proved that the letter was in the hand-
writing of the defendant, and it was read in silence by
the Learned Judges, apparently much to the disappoint-
ment of a numerous auditory, who, thinking that it
would be read by the clerk, bent forward eagerly to

listen.

The COURT having concluded the perusal of the letter,
The defendant proceeded to address the Court. He
admitted at the outset that both justice and law seemed
against him. becaase 1121,,,c2 21d not but admit that he was
to blame, and that he fiTarlione that which did not be-
come him as a gentleman. But then he acted under the
greatest provocation ; he was irritated and harassed
at the conduct of his wife's relations, who on the
day before the letter complained of was written
came to his house, headed by Mr. Toizer, knocked once
at his door, obtained admission by stealth, and, after
abusing him two hours, carried off his wife—deprived
him'of her society—his children of their mother, and up
to the time he was addressing the Court he had been
unable to obtain access to her. He was respected by
his flock, respected by his diocesan, and admitted into
the best families of the country. He could not attri-
bute such conduct on the part of Mr. Toizer and his
wife's brothers to anything else, except that he was a
minister of the Church of England and they Dissenters,
Mr. Toizer being a deacon of a Dissenting
chapel. They not only destroyed his domestic peace,
but they destroyed his credit, and he was threatened, on
account of their representations, to have proceedings
taken against him by the Hereford Bank for a small
account which he owed that establishment. But all his
creditors had been paid. Looking at the whole of the
circumstances of his case, he trusted that the Court
would consider that the smallest sum in the realm would
be sufficient compensation for the injury his wife's
friends had sustained at his hands.

Sir F. TIIESIGER replied. He said the defendant had,
throughout his affidavits, persisted in his charges with
the worst and most vindictive feelings. He had spared
those in the Court the pain of having their ears polluted
by hearing a letter written by the defendant to his wife,
reflecting on the conduct of her sister. He was sure
the Court would hardly believe that such a letter—in
fact, that the whole of the letters on which the charge
was based—were written by a clergyman of the Church
of England. The offence of which the defendant had
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced the prisoner to be

MMON PLEAS.—(THIS I)AY.)
BEENLEN V. HOCRIN.-THE BOROUGH OF DARTMOUTH.
This was an appeal from a decision of the Revising
Barrister for the borough of Dartmouth. The notice of
objection served on appellant did not specify the date of
the year, and the notice to the overseers had been served
on the churchwarden, who did not sign the list. The
Barrister. however, struck out the appellant's name.
Mr. GREENWOOD appeared on behalf of the appellant,
and maintained that the Revising B3rriNt(sr's decision
was bad, inasmuch as the previsions of the law had been
violated in two instances by the notice.

Mr. Sergeant EINGLAKE, on behalf of the respondent,
contended there was nothing in the Rejstration Act re"-
qtur:ng the stringent compliance with its liberal terms
demanded by th-appeliant. Substantial compliance
with its provisions was all that was required, arid this
had been the case in the present instance.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY)
John Walker waR charged with stealing several silk
handkerchiefs and scarfs, the property of his master.
John Cooper; constable 84 I), said, on Saturday even-
ing he was standing in the shop of Mr. Walker, pawn-
broker, High-street, Marylebone, when the prisoner
came in, and offered four green silk handkerchiefs in the
piece for pledge. Mr. Walker's assistant asked him if he
thought this was all right. He told him he thonght not.
The assistant returned the handkerchiefs and witness
asked the prisoner where he had got the handkerchiefs.
The prisoner told him he had purchased them at
Thrasher and Glenny's, near Somerset House, Strand ;
and that he was a carpenter, living in Holywell-street,
Westminster. 'He took the defendant to the station-
house, and made inquiry of Messrs. Thrasher and
Glenny, who told him that they had no hand-
kerchiefs with the same pattern of border, and
he then went to the prisoner's address, in Holy well-
street, and discovered there that ho was a light porter
to Mr. Hummle., 6, Old Bond-street, where he went, and
found that they 'had had handkerchiefs of a similar
pattern. _ _ _

Horace Hummle, hosier, 6, Old Bond-street, said they
had had handkerchiefs exactly similar to those prcduced
by the policeman. -
Mr. HARDWICKE was about to commit the prisoner
for trial, when Mr. Hummle applied to have him re-
manded till further inquiry, could be made. He said,
from a letter of the prisoner's which had been inter-
cepted, there was reason to suspect that depredations to
a much greater amount had been committed.
The prisoner was remanded till Friday, when he will
be brought up for re-examination.
Jane Stanley was placed at the bar, charged with
rioting in several houses on Saturday evening, and com-
mitting assaults and damages.
T. Wilson, proprietor of a coffee-shop in John-street,
Oxford-street, said that the prisoner came to his house
on Saturday evening, and called for ale, which was re-
fused. She sat down, but soon arose, and cleared the
table of all that was on it, cups, saucers, &c. She was
much intoxicated, and he gave her into custody.
Richard Warren, the proprietor of the Union Tavern,
11, John-street, xford street, said the prisoner came
into his house about half past five o'clock on Saturday
afternoon. She was tipsy, and he forbade his barmaid
to serve her with any liquor; when denied, she seized a
large glass globe, which stood on the counter, and threw
it at the barmaid.
The defendant said she did not remember anything
about it.
Mr. HARDWICKE said she must pay I.os. for the as-
sault, besides the amount of the damage done, or go to
the House of Correction for ten days.

SOUTHWARK.. THIS DAY.)
James Brooks, a cork•cutter, was charged with travel-
ling on the South-Eastern Railway without a ticket, and
refusing to pay his fare when required.
Henry Smith, ticket inspector at the London-bridge
terminus, stated, that on the arrival of the train from
Ashford, on Saturday afternoon, the defendant was re•
quested to produce his ticket, and, on his refusal to do
so, the fare, ss. 7d., was asked of him, which he also
refused to pay. He was then given into custody.
'The prisoner said he loSt his ticket on the way from
Ashford, but as it appeared that he intended to defraud
the company,
Mr. SECKER committed him to prison for 21 days.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.
By the arrival of the British and North American
royal mail steam-ship Caledonia, Captain Lott, we
have papers from the United States and Canada
eight days later than have previously reached this port.
The Caledonia left Boston on the Ist, and Halifax
on the 3d. At the time of leaving Halifax, the
Britannia, which sailed from Liverpool on the 19th
ult., had not arrived at Halifax, being an unusually
long passage; but the weather, which the Caledonia
has experienced on her voyage has been most tem-
pestuous, similar to which, no doubt, the Britannia
had met with.
The accounts from America relative to shipping is
most disastrous ; it seems that the entire coast, from
Maine to Louisiana, had been visited with most ter-
rific hurricanes, which has been attended with great
loss of life and property.
The political news from the Western Continent is
not important. The American army, under General
Taylor, continued at-Monterey, to which reinforce-
ments continued to be made. It seems certain that
Santa Anna had quitted the city of Mexico, at the head
of an army said to be 13,000 strong, with the expecta-
tion of driving the American forces back beyond
the Rio Grande. The American papers state that
the Government had determined to commence active
hostilities at Alvarado and Tampico, and also that
General Kearney proposed to move forward from
Santee, by the combination of which the Americans
expect to conquer Mexico, and annex it to the Union.
From Canada the news is unimportant. The new
Governor's arrival was looked for with considerable
interest.

Perhaps the most important features by this arrival
relates. to commerce. The Caledonian's news of Oct.
4, seems to have given an upward impetus in prices
to " breadstuffs" and cotton, in the principal cities of
the Union, which caused not only an advance in
prices, but an enormous amount of exportation to
Europe. However, before the Caledonian sailed, the
mT ahned progress Enquirer.)
SATURDAY,
the
market became changed, a check to speculation fol-
lowed, and prices had a downward tendency.
o (From the
eNewT. 3 Y1,022k Courierp.
Mexican war since our last paper has been one of
triumph, but not without serious sacrifice of life to the
American arms.
The surrender of Monterey has been completed and
General Taylor is now in complete possession of that
city and all its defences and resources. The process of
evacuating the city by the Mexican forces made mani-
fest the fact, that the defeated army out-numbered that
of the conquerers—for General Taylor's force which
entered Monterey after the surrender, did not exceed
5,000 men of all arms, while it is computed that
Ampudia's retreating army numbered 7,000.
The dates from the city of Mexico are to the 23d ult.
It does not appear that Santa Anna had yet left that
city, notwithstanding the rumours by the way of Mon-
terey that he had reached Saltillo with an army of 13,000
men. The impossibility of the truth of this rumour is
demonstrated by the fact that Santa Anna only made
his public entry into Mexico on the 15th. Notwith-
standing his utmost efforts, he could not in the destitu-
tion of the Treasury speedily muster any considerable
force—much less could he accomplish the long march
between Mexico and Saltillo, in the time required by
the rumour.
From California we have official intelligence that the
whole west coast is blockaded by the United States squa-
dron, and that our flag was flying at all the chief points,
without meeting any where with opposition.
It is certain that a vigorous demonstration is soon to
be made on the Gulf coast of Mexico—probably both at
Alvarado and Tampico—for the navy is panting for an
opportunity to share in the war.
Whether another column of troops will be directed
from one of these points upon the capital, or toward San
Louis Potosi, upon which last city, after receiving ade-
quate reinforcements of men and munitions—General
Taylor will advance, is not known.
Meantime he remains within the walls of Monterey
recruiting his troops and augmenting his stores.
General Wool's column and that of General Kearney
is each operating on its own line, but each converging to
the other, and both will approach the region in which
General Taylor is operating.
The prospects of peace are as distant as ever. The
Mexican Congress does not meet till December, and it
only can decide upon the proposals for peace submitted
by this Government. But no one seems to entertain the
belief that Mexico will consent to any terms which we
have yet offered, or thus far are likely to offer.
The quasi neutrality of Yucatan has been put an end
to on our side, as it has long been on that of the Yuca•
tanese, by the following order from the U. S. Treasury.
CIRCULAR TO COLLECTORS AND OTRER OFFICERS
OF THE CUSTOMS.
Treasury Department. Oct. 23, 1846.
In consequence of intelligence received at the depart-
ment, it becomes expedient and proper to rescind the
privilege granted to the ports of Yucatan in my circular
instructions of the 11th of June, 1846, and to subject
said ports to the interdictions of commerce applica'de
to the ports of Mexico generally, as enjoined by such
instructions.
You are accordingly directed to refuse clearances to
all vessels and their cargoes departing
from our ports,
and places in Yucatan.

R. J. WALKER,
Secretary of the Treasury.
The advices hy the Caledonia steamer, the latest we
have, to the 4th inst., produced a general rise of prices
here. Flour advanced 75 cents per bbl., and other pro-
ducts in proportion. Since the first impulse some fluctu-
ations have occurred, and the price of flour receded
again—butlit may now be quoted for the best Genesee at
6 dol., which is about 50 cents a bbl. higher than before
the arrival of the Caledonia.
The supplies of this article which we continue to re-
ceive from the western States and the western part of
our own State—which is a grain• growing region—by
the Canal and Hudson River, are large; and if cold
weather should not come upon us prematurely, we may
calculate upon at least three weeks more of active navi-
gation. Some untimely breaks in the canal banks oc-
curred last week, which, for a day or two, interrupted
navigation and accumulated boats
at the spot. These are
now repaired, and the utmost activity prevails on the
whole length of the Canal.

The increase of each sort is enormous ; that of Indian
corn, of which last year the supply from this source was
almost null, is to be accounted for by the great demand
occasioned for this grain by the failure of the European
potato crop. The quantity brought is still but a mere
trifle, in comparison with what can be poured out by the
region around the lakes, and thus find its way through
the Erie Canal to the seaboard—for Indian corn is the
great staple of the west. It is however rarely gathered
and shelled in time to be sent forward the same year
that it is produced, as after November the Lake Naviga-

ex-
ceeding twice and a half the whole of last year's sup-

droughts of this year, and
the consequent insufficiency
of the mill streams to grind as much as usual. Reduc-
ing the wheat to flour, at the usual rate, the whole in-
crease in flour this year over last is equal to 777,822
bbls. This excess alone of the present year's receipts
by the way of the Erie Canal, is equal within a small
fraction to the whole quantity of flour exported from the
United States to Liverpool for the year beginning 15th
Sept. 1845, and ending 15th Sept. 1846. The total of
this export, according to a Liverpool statement now
before us, was 778,059.
Each day now adds to the accumulation of bread
stuffs in this port, and if the navigation shall continue
long as the average time, a great deal will yet

and in store at Buffalo, and more is still arriving.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY:--The arrivals
of wheat and beans are large, and there is a fair quantity
of barley. There is a steady demand for wheat at a
decline of ls. to 2s. per qr. , at this reduction there is no
disposition evinced to press sales, and the market closes
firm. The late great reduction in the value of barley
causes more demand, and last week's rates are main-
tained. Oats and shelling are both rather lower. Beans
remain as last statcod.

GUN COTTON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,— Havinr, at various times noticed letters inserted
in your valuable paper, in which you are always wish-
ing to give publicity to new and important inventions, it
has struck me as singular that none of the writers have
stated anything relative to the cost of gun•cotton. As
they appear to be practical men, perhaps on seeing this
some of themwould state the probable expense of ma-
nufacture, and also account for its newly-acquired ex-
plosive property.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

DEATH or LADY HAMILTON.—Her Ladyship died
at her residence in James-street, St. James-park, on
Friday last, at an advanced age. Her health had de-
clined during the last two years, but her active mind
and cheJrful disposition were the cause of her family
being unprepared for the sorrowful event which termi-
nated a short illness. Lady Hamilton was the relict of
the late Colonel Sir Ralph Hamilton, of Olivestob, N. 8.,
and formerly of the 3d Foot Guards.
ENGLISH CHILDREN ON THE CONTINENT.— A har-
dened man is bad, a hardened woman worse, but a
hardened child is worst, and a hardened English child
worst of all—to an Englishman ; especially when his
pride is humbled by meeting the exhibition abroad.
Here has been a party of such. Never did I hear the
I can't bear this 1" arid "I won't eat that !" style of
table-talk in such vivacity—never such sharp cries for
fish sauce—such chimourings for a third glass of cham-
pagne—such eagerness to be helped first—though I have
sat with some renowned epicures at table. They were
two boys and a girl ; the eldest not fourteen. Their

parents were by, and a governess. " Heaven help them!"
said Ito myself', " what will they grow up into ?" The
sight of their snatchings and their scramblings, and their
hard, knowing faces, might well spoil the dinner of a
cross old bachelor. If this comes of parents travelling,
and keeping their children with them, better for health,
heart, and hopefulness, Do-the-Boys Hall ! for there,
at least, was endurance to be practised. Prodigious
genius is perilous enougb, but prodigious sensuality
worse. I was utterly downcast to see those children.

ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, REGENT'S-PABK.—At a
meeting of Fellows held on Saturday, at the ,gardens of
the Society, Regent's-park, the following ladies and gen-
tlemen were admitted to the Society:—The Duchess of
Buckingham, the Earl of Stamford, Major Rushbrooke,
the Hon. W. Leslie Melville, D. L. Mackinnon, Esq.,
Henry Alexander, Esq., W. D. Alexander, Esq., William
Benson, Esq., J. T. Luscombe, Esq., James Graham,
Esq., J. Allen Powell, Esq.' J. D. M. Stirling, Esq
Nantes Tupper, Esq., T. M. Coombs, Esq., Erasmus
Wilson, Esq., J. D. Walford, Esq., Mrs. Monteflore,
Mrs. Kyle, Mrs. Shuttleworth, Miss Beaumont, Miss
Bennett, and Miss Steuart. The Society has received,
during the past autumn, some valuable presents of
plants for the conservatory, from Lady Antrobus, Mrs.
Lawrence, Lady Hesilrige, L. Rucker, Esq., and other
distinguished patrons of floriculture. The usefulness of
the conservatory is already displayed in the agreeable
resort which the finished portion of it offers for pro-.
menading.

WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—Last Saturday workmen
commenced wheeling on flagstones for the purpose of re-
paving the footway and erecting balustrades, breast high,
along the outer edge of the bridge, previous to removing
the present hording for re-opening a way for light car-
riages, omnibuses, &c. These alterations will, it is ex-
pected, be accomplished before the eral of the month.
The centre arch is propped up by piles, screwed into the
ground upon a new scientific principle, as the pile-driving
machine cannot be used, lest the little foundation that
remains might be disturbed. The centre piers have con-
siderably sunk since the removal of the massive weight
from the bridge. Should they continue doing so, and
the piles remain steadfast, the centre arch will inevitably
spring up. The present structure will not be removed
until the new bridge is completed.
CHERIIBINL—On Thursday the remains of the
composer Cherubini were removed from the tomb in
which they were temporarily laid to the monument
raised to his memory, which was designed by M. Achille
Leclerc, of the Institute, and sculptured by M. Dupont,
also a member of the same body. The figures which
adorn it represent the muse Clio crowning the illustrious
master of music. This ceremony was attended, besides
the family of Cherubini, by a numerous body of eminent
masters of the same art, by members of the Institute, by
professors of the Conservatoire, and by other notable
personages, as well as the friends of the deceased. During
the performance of a low mass, the four corners of the
pall were borne by Messrs. Halevy, Raoul-Rochette,
Auber, and Vogt. The monument stands appropriately
surrounded by those of Telma, Lesueur, Mdlle, Bour-
goin, Delille, Mehul, the two Krentzers, Martin, Bouilly,
Paer, Bellini, Gretry, Gatel, Gossec, and others known
to fame.

A RICH ROBBER.—Last week, Charles Donnellan,
who had been convicted and sentenced by the magistrates
of East Ham for stealing cabbages, was discharged from
Ilford gaol, where were found upon his person one bag
containing 951. in gold, another having 211. ss. in gold
and silver, and also bank securities for 5001.
'4HORRIBLE PUNISHMENT.—The place where the
stake stood was twice, and only twice, the scene of a
most barbarous and cruel species of punishment, an-
ciently decreed against those who were guilty of poison-
ing, viz., that of boiling to death. The first took place
in 1531, and is recorded in Stow's " Annals." " The
sth of April, one Richard Rose, a cook, was boiled in
Smithfield, for poisoning of divers persons, to the number
of sixteen or more, at the Bishop of Rochester's palace,
among the which Benet Curwine, gentleman, was one,
and he intended to have poisoned the Bishop himself, but
that he ate no pottage that day, whereby he escaped;
but of the poor people that ate thereof; many died."
The pottage alluded to was, it appears, gruel intended
for the Bishop (Fisher) and his household; a portion of
it, after they had finished their repast, being given to the
poor of Lambeth. Two persons only died of its effects,
but of the remainder many never afterwards recovered
their health. The. second instance of this punishment
took place ten years afterwards, when one Margaret
Davis, a servant girl, was boiled to death for poisoning
her mistress and several other persons.—Smith's Streets
of London.
MR. BRIGHT, M.P., AND THE REPRESENTATION
OF MiNCHESTEE.—A meeting of the Liberal electors of
Manchester, convened by the Manchester Reform Asso-
ciation, is to be held in the Free-trader Hall, on the
evening of Wednesday next, at seven o'clock, "for the
purpose of receiving Mr. Bright's answer to the invi-
tation of this Association, to allow himself to be nomi-
nated as a candidate for the representation of this
borough, at the next election." The admission is to be
by ardo,
