ENDEAVOURING TO EXTORT MONEY FROM MR. PRO •
THEROE, M.P.—A smartly-dressed young man, named
James 11'ewbcry, aged 24, described as a groom, was
charged with sending letters to Mr. Protheroe, M.P.,
threatening to charge him with a horrible crime, with
the view of thereby extorting money from him.

Our city is in an uproar. Public meetings are being
held preparatory to the election. In this city the Whig
party will be comp:etely defeated, by a majority against
them of not less than 4,000. I think it highly probable
that the same result awaits them throughout the state ;
but that is more doabtful.—Times.
A GENEVESE TRAVELLER.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The CHIEF BARON summed up, and the jury found the
prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner was put back for a short time, when he
was brought up for judgment, and the CHIEF BARON,
after stating that he had been convicted of a most atro-
cious offence, and that he entirely concurred in the ver-
dict of the jury, sentenced him to be transported for
twenty years.
The prisoner, as he left the bar, said, " Thank you,
my Lord."
At the sitting of the Court Mr. Payne applied to
postpone the trial of a person charged with committing
a forgery upon the Bank of England, until the next
session. The grounds upon which ho made the appli-
cation were, that the bill had only been found against
the prisoner on the previous day, that the indictment
was a very long one, and that the prisoner's attorney
had not had sufficient time to become acquainted with
the precise nature of the charge.
Mr. CLARKSON, who was instructed for the prosec-
tion, said that if the Court thought the reasons that bad
been urged were sufficient grounds for a postponement
of the trial, he had no objection to offer.

LIABILITY OF LITERARY AND
SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS TO PAROCHIAL
RATES.-NEW POINT.

THE PARISH OF ST. ALPHAGE, GREENWICH, V. TEE
TRUSTEES OF THE GREENWICH SOCIETY FOR THE
ACQUISITION AND DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOW-
LEDGE.—A case of very considerable importance, in re-
gard to this and similar societies, came on for adjudica-
tion on Saturday before Mr. Traill, at the Greenwich
police-court, the trustees of the abovenamed institution
having been summoned by the parochial authorities for
the sums of 4L 18s. 4d. poor-rate, and 1/. Be. highway-
rate. The question excited considerable interest.

Mr. James, solicitor and vestry clerk of the parish,
attended to support the summons ; and Mr. J. Meadows
White, toeicitor, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and a trusted
of the institution, to oppose the rate.

The CHIEF BARON thought they were quite sufficient.
In an ordinary civil action a party had eight days al-
lowed to prepare a defence, and on a charge of felony,
involving such serious consequences to the accused,
surely some similar indulgence might be allowed, par-
ticularly when the application was made by the pri-
soner, who would in the meatime remain in gaol.
The trial was accordingly postponed.

Mr. James, in opening the case for the parish, stated
that he believed no question would arise as to the
amount of the rate made in this instance, the
point being whether this institution came within
the Act of 6 and 7 Tictolis sap. 36, whieh
exempted buildings erected solely for the ad-
vancement of literature, scienee, and the fine arts, from
contributing to the local rates. He contended that it did
not ; and he should call on Mr. White, one of the trus-
tees, to show that the institution was founded and car-
ried on agreeably to that Act, one of the provisions of
which was that the building should not be let for
any purpose which might give a dividend or profit to the
members. Now, in a prospectus issued by the society,
there was an announcement that the hall, which was
capable of holding 1,000 persons, might be hired for lec-
tures and other purposes, not of a theological nature, as
also several class rooms, on application to the secretary.
This had been done, as he should be able to show, and
he contended that it was in contravention of the Act ;
and although the society was partly supported by annual
voluntary contributions, very large receipts were ob-
tained by letting the building for lectures, &c. In the
case of the Queen v. Jones, reported in the " Justice of
the Peace, it was held by Lord Denman that it was not
sufficient for the rules of a society to omit any notice as
to not paying a dividend to the members, bat it was
necessary to have a rule expressly negativing any divi-
dend • and in that case the rate was ordered to be paid.
As the Greenwich Society had no such rule in their code,
the rates had hitherto been paid ; but since that
time a new rule (No. 19) had been inserted, to
the effect that no dividend should be paid to the mem-
bers, in respect of such membership, and they had also
obtained the certificate of the barrister, Mr. Tidd Pratt,
to those amended rules. Upon that, ,the c-reenvrich So-
ciety claimed exception from the payment of local rates ;
but the parish authorities insisted that the latter five
words of the 19th rule had taken the case out of the Act,
and that the society had no more right to claim exemp-
,tion than they had before, as it was clear an arrangement
might be made with a member to give a lectnro for his
own profit. It was relied by the society that the certifi-
cate of the barrister had exempted the society from the
payment of the local rates ; but in the case of the Queen
v. Pocock, reported in the " Justice of the Peace," Lord
Denman was of opinion that the certificate of the bar-
rister was not conclusive ; and Mr. Justice Patteson also
said, "The certificate was a mere condition precedent to
right."
Mr. Traill remarked that was clearly so.
Mr. James then put in the rate-books of the parish to
show that the rates had been duly made, and called
John Boyd Jarman, the collector, to prove the demand.
Mr. J. M. White at once admitted that fact ; but as
the collector was unable to give evidence as to the hall
having been let for lectures and other purposes since
January, 1844, Mr. James called
David Bass, the secretary to the institution, who being
shown some prospectuses containing the advertisement
for letting the hall, said they were the prospectuses is-
sued by the society.
Mr. James—What is the object of your society ?
Mr. Bass—l think the title " The Greenwich So-
ciety for the Accpiisition awl Diffusion of Useful Know-
ledge" recognises its objects.
Mr. Traill was of opinion that the term " useful know-
ledge," was rather too large for the definition.
Mr. James concurred. There was nothing in the
title about literature, or the fine arts.

„POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Jane Saunders, a young woman of respectable appear-
ance, a dressmaker, was charged before the Lord Mayor
with committing various frauds upon her employers.
Messrs. Grocoek, Copenstake, and Moore, extensive lace
merchants and warehousemen, of Cheapside and St.
Paul's-churchyard, under the following extraordinary
circumstances :

The prisoner has, since May last, been employed by
the firm to make ladies' and children's dresses, and is
supposed during that time to have defrauded the firm of
"money to the amount of 601. She had been accustomed
to receive the materials from a Miss Shrimpton, wh )
superintends the department, and who checked off and
signed the bills of the workpeople, which was an au-
thority for the cashier to pay. Some discrepancies in
the stock account having been recently discovered, Miss
Shrimpton was directed to enter the amounts of all the
bills in a book, which, having been last Saturday com-
pared with the cash-book, it was ascertained that the
prisoner had that day received 5/. more than she was
entitled to, by altering her bill from 10s. Bd. to 5/. 10s.
Bd., which she had done in the following manner, viz.,
twenty-two instead of two dresses, at 3s. each, and also
twenty-two instead of two, at 2s. each, and in the wrong
column prefixing 3/. and 2/. to the previous 4s. and 3s.
Five bills were produced, in which were similar altera-
tions, showing frauds by the prisoner, amounting to
nearly 18/. within these last four or five weeks.
The prisoner, who declared positively that the bills
were in the same state as when she originally received
them, was then fully committed for trial.

Mr. Bass—The hall has been let for various purposes,
the money for which goes into the general funds of the
society. He recollected the hall being let for a meet-
ing on the subject of Church-rates ; for a meeting on
the Corn-laws ; for a meeting respecting the Water-
men's Pier, after the Lord Mayor had ordered its re-
moval, very recently ; and a meeting to petition for the
release of Frost, Williams, and Jones. The hall had
had also been let to exhibit Tom Thumb, the Ojibbeway
Indians, &c. Rooms had also been let for classes and
other purposes. The rooms were only let for other pur-
poses when not in use for the legitimate objects of the
society ; he did not recollect any money ever having
been taken at the doors.

Mr. James remarked, that Ile had paid money for
admission at the doors.

By Mr. White—The society never held those meet-
hired Toni Thumb or the Ojibbeway Indians. The
ings mentioned, or the exhibitions. They had never
rooms had been let, and the money was applied to the
purposes of the society
; in fact, for sustaining the in-
stitution. They have about 1,000 members at present.
Ile believed the 19tk rule had been prepared at the sug-
gestion of Mr. James.
Mr. James replied he never saw it.
Mr. Bass—There have been no alterations in the object
of the institute since January, 18:34.
Mr. James pointed out that in the prospectuses of the
society prior to that date no mention was made of letting
the hall. This closed the case.
Mr. White submitted that the Act had been followed
by thatb y which society
allowed the raising of funds otherwise
h
annual subscriptions had been framed by Mr.
Wise partly in reference to that society. He now tan in letter and in spirit ; in fact one of the
clauses
pro-
posed to put in the minute bock of the board of Gover-
nors and directors of the parish of Greenwich, and to
refer to a minute of some proceedings in reference to the
19th rule.
Mr. James objected, as the minute referred to bore
date the 23(1 of January, 1844, prior to the necessity for
these proceedings, the claim being now for rates made
in 1845.
awslneotthePr"thsseerdehad been sufficient shown
was, whether
Mr. Train aids the point in this case he should have
to justify
thish issuing a warrant. There were two objec-
tions of a hcsl nature
to Tcohnsimdeartt
; first, ought not the society
to be described as for the exclusive advancement of
science, literature, and the fine arts. Now, it (lid not
say that ; it described the society as for the advance-
ment and diffusion of useful knowledge ; and the subse-
quent whether the
question was, uses made of the so-
ciety's profits were properly applied. The society might
appoint one of its own members to lecture, and take
what profit he could make. That was the construction
which might be put upon those five words—" in respect
of membership."
Mr. James replied, that if a distress warrant was
granted the question could be fully raised in the proper
quarter.
Mr. Traill was of opinion the whole matter could
not be decided in that Court, and the better way would
be to let the warrant of distress issue, and then the
question could be raised in several ways. It was imma-
terial to him in what way: the solicitors could agree as
to the least expensive and most speedy manner, either by
replevin on his warrant, or issuing a mandamus to him,
or iu an appeal to the Quarter Sessions, who would refer
the matter to the Court of Queen's Bench; for really
the question had never yet been decided, viz., Can a
society let its premises for other than its own purposes
if the receipts are solely applied to objects of its own
use ?
Some conversation then ensued between the magis-
trate and the solicitors on either side, as to the mode to
be adopted, Mr. Traill recommending that before the
matter went up to the Court of Queen's Bench, all the
technicalities in the case should be got rid of ; that the
society should make a new law in lieu of the 19th,
le •
wring out the objectionable words ; and that they
should also in their
title set forth, that it was founded
for the advancement of literature, science, and the fine
arts, as it appeared in the preamble of the Act.
Mr. White said that should be done, and after some
further discussion it was agreed that the warrants should
issue, but not be acted on for a few days.

THE Peon IN ST. PANCRAS WORKIICIUSE.—On
Tuesday a special and ve numerously attended meet-
ingof the directors and guardians of the poor of the
parish of St. Pancras, tookplace in the Board-room of
the Workhouse, King's-road, for the purpose of receiving
the official report from the Poor-law Commissioners, as

of showing the evils which result to the community from

spiracy. In the course of the evidence the secrets of an
" artful dodge," and deeply-laid scheme were disclosed.
I: will be well recollected that the prisoner and others of
his gang had accomplished the negotiations of numerous
loans by means of tea warrants, which were perfectly
valueless, as the tea they represented is of the most
abominable and poisonous description, being covered
with verdegris. Some parcels of this staff have been
placed in a sale to take place this day (Thursday), for
the mere pu'rpose and object of enabling some friend of
the prisoner to offer money for, and purchase them, and
be thereby enabled to swear at the trial that the teas
were of such and such a value, as they procured so much
per pound at a public sale, and that therefore the war-
rants vere bone fide security. The teas are, however,
so well known as the "fraudulent" teas, from being in
the market since 1842, that no person in the trade is
likely to be deceived by them, and they have, therefore,
been put into the sale only for the purpose above stated.

MILITARY RIOT AT WINDSOR

FAIR.

WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—YeSt2rday evening,
between nine and ten o'clock, a serious disturbance was
created in the High-street, cpposite to the parish church,
by a large body of private in the Ist Regiment of Life
Guards, in consequence, as it was stated, of a man
named Chippenfield, the proprietor of one of the booths
containing wonderful pigs, boa constrictors, crocodiles,
&c., having "insulted" one of their comrades in the
afternoon, by telling him, when he had paid his two-
pence for admission, that he would have to go without
" baccu" for a week. In the early part of the evening
the showman was threatened by several of the Life
Guards to be " paid out" before night. Accordingly,
shortly after nino o'clock, a large party of the soldiers
came into the fair (between one and two hundred),
although not more than about twenty were engaged in
the riot, the rest merely looking on. They commenced
by dragging away the flight of wooden steps leading
into the .booth, which they entirely demolished. The
soldiers next dragged away_the whole of the platform in
front of the booth; in doing which the wife of the pro-
prietor, Mrs. Chippenfield, fell through upon the stones
beneath, and was considerably injured. Mr. Chippen-
leld addressed the soldiers from a projecting piece
remaining of the platform, begging them to desist, as he
had a wife and large family dependent upon him for
support, and humbly apologising for anything he might
have said to have given them offence in the early part
of the day. The work of destruction, however, still
proceeded ; the large canvass painting on the outside
being torn, after an attempt had been made to upset the
van, but fortunately ineffectually. We understand that
the learned pig got loose, and that the crocodile had a
very narrow escape during the melee, which lasted for
nearly half an hour. Many persons, some of whom
were females, who were standing in the High-street at
the time, got knocked about and severely injured. The
proprietor of the exhibition had his hands severely
scalded by the upsetting of the boiling oil, which was
burning in jars on the platform at the time of the attack.
Mr. Blunt, one of the ;,borough magistrates, was in
the High-street during a great part of the riot ;
but from the large body of Life Guards who
were present, it was judged inexpedient for
the police to interfere, who would assuredly have
been overpowered. It is a question, however, amongst
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood (who closed their
shutters when they found how serious was the nature of
the affray), whether some steps ought not to have been
taken by the local authorities to put a stop to the dis-
turbance at the onset. A picket arrived from the cavalry
barracks a little before ten o'clock; but not until the
affair was at an end, and the ringleaders had dispersed.
As soon as the work of demolition had been completed,
the proprietor of the bopth, addressing the soldiers, said,
"Now, I hope, gentlemen, you are all satisfied." To
which the leader of the emeute replied, " Oh, yes, we are
quite satisfied ; you shan't have any more tuppencics to-
night, that we have taken d-d good care of. So
good night, old fellow." The mob then left, and the ex-
hibition closed.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAIL

WAY.-DAMAGE TO THE SEA WALL.

During the last week the succession of heavy gales
which occurred without intermission for some days
much retan'ed the operations on this line ; and on the
night of Thursday an extensive breach was made by
the sea in the solid wall now in the course of construc-
tion under the Peumean Mawar mountain. The waves
ran very high, and completely washed 'over the erection
during its whole course, effecting large openings. 'This
portion of the works is much exposed to the assaults of
the sea, and peculiarly liable to injury. Mr. Robert
Stephenson, the celebrated engineer, and several other
gentlemen, inspected the damage on the following day,
and directed measures for the repair to be taken.
The works on the railway between Conway and the
Menai Bridge will, when completed, embrace a greater
number of difficult and formidable obstacles than can be
found, for a similar distance, on any other line. They com-
prise the following—namely, proposed bridge of iron,
400 feet in length, on Mr. Stephen's novel plan, across
the river Conway; a tunnel at Llandegai, 440 yards in
length; and another tunnel at the Ffiddoedd of half a
mile; also one under the mountain at Bangor, of 900
yards; in addition to which there is a large amount of
cutting and earth-work. To these must be added the
new bridge over the Menai of 1,400 feet; and the whole
presents as massive and expensive an undertaking as can
well be imagined for any eighteen or twenty miles of
road.

Tlie whole is progressing rapidly, the tunnels being
in a forward state. Upwards of 3,000,000 cubic yards
of earth-work have been removed out of 4,420,000; and,
as nearly 13,000 men are employed, no doubt is enter-
tained that the contracts will be executed within the spe-
cified time.

The proposed new bridges at Conway and the Menai
are being rapidly pushed forward. The one over the
Menai is to be called the Britannia—taking its name
from the rock on which its cen:re pier is supported.
This undertaking will be three years before completion
and is carried on under the personal superintendence'
of Mr. Clarke, civil engineer. It will be sustained on
four piers, the distance between the central ones being
450 feet. Two tubes are to be made, one for the down
and the other for the up trains, and the weight of metal
employed in their construction is estimated at 1,200 tons,
which will all be of wrought iron ; this immense mass is
calculated to hold 2,200 tons, four times the burden
it will ever be required to support. The rails are to le
laid on prepared or vulcanised India rubber, in order to
avoid the injurious effects of vibration.
The tubes will be elevated to the piers in compart-
ments, to be finally riveted together when properly,
fitted; these will be lifted from pontoons, at the top of
high water, by means of great hydraulic powert has been
; and it
is anticipated that, when the first coinpartnaFu
successfully placed upon the pier, the remainder of then
undertaking will be comparatively easy.
