UNION-HALL.

Yesterday William Carr, a young man, was
brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with assault-
ing his wife, an old lady of sixty.
Mr. TRAILL inquired what length of time they
had been married ? Mrs. Carr—Only six months,
your Worship; and it has appeared as many years.
I married him for love, gave him up all the property
I had accumulated by hard industry in the chandlery
line, and the return I have met with after all is

nothing but the worst of treatment. Mrs. Carr
added she had often and often lamented the day
that she had the fully to have thought of marriage
after the death of her first poor dear husband. "If
she was single to-morrow, no, not for the Indies of
gold," added she, " would I again venture upon
matrimony."
The defendant here exclaimed, " I am content to
dissolve the marriage, and now that we are in Court
let it be done, and"--

Mr. TRAILL said that the only mode of insuring
her safety was to hold the defendant to bail, which
was accordingly done.

The statue of Fame, recently placed on the
Dome of the Pantheon, was o❑ Tuesday night blown down
by a gust of wind.—French Paper.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEC. 23.
—The sales to-day are estimated at 5,000 bags, part of
which have been taken on speculation. A choice lot of
50 Boweds have been sold at 9id. per lb., a lot of very
superior Bahias at 10d., and a small parcel of Pernarn"

EASTERN ATHENMUNI—LITERARY AND
SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.—A meeting of the members of
this institution was held at the parochial schoolhouse,
Stepney-green, on Friday evening, the 13th instant, for
the purpose of receiving the report of the Provisional
Committee, and adopting rules for the government of the
institution. The report stated that the prospects of the
society exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its for..
mere ; that although two months had not elapsed since its
commencement, the number of members exceeded seventy,
and notwithstanding the large expenses unavoidably in-
curred for printing, and the purchase of many necessary
articles, a considerable sum remained in the treasurer's
hands ; that they already possessed a library from contri-
butions alone of about 200 volumes, nearly 50 of which
had been presented by Dr. Bowring, the remainder were,
with a few exceptions, the gifts of the members ; that
part of Colet House, Stepney, was preparing, and would
soon be fit for the reception of the society ; that Dr. Epps
and Dr. Mitchell, among other scientific and literary cha-
racters, had kindly offered to deliver lectures ; and that,
from the rapid increase in the number of members, and the
offers of assistance from all quarters, there was little doubt
of this institution being able soon to take its stand with
the similar ones of the metropolis. The meeting, after
eulogising the conduct of, and passing a vote of thanks to,
the Provisional Committee and Secretary, and to Dr.
Bowring and the other donors to the Society, adopted a
code of laws, and proceeded to elect from a list of candi-
dates the officers of the institution. The names announced
were Dr. Lushington, ALP., and W. Clay, Esq., M.P.,
joint Presidents ; Dr. Birkbeck, Dr. Bowring, C. Knight,
E•q., W. Maltby, Esq., Dr. Mitchell, and G. Offer,
El., Vice Presidents; and twenty gentlemen from among
the members as managers for the ensuing year. Thanks
were then voted to the Chairman (W. Riven, Esq.) for
his impartial conduct, and the meeting adjourned amidst
mutual congratulations at the cheering prospects of the in-
stitution.

At one o'clock to-day, a public meeting,
consequence of a numerous and respectably sigi'io
requisition to the Lord Provost, was held ttt
Town-hall. 3AIItIJEI

Mr. COLIN DUNLOP said, he was sure to FREDEtt

in proposing the motion he was about to lay NI) s?RSFT'PI

them. This was the first public meeting Nellie);d, CHARLI
NJILL
been held since the overthrow of the system of 6114 HENRY
election, and the present Lord Provost was the,
ht JAMES
that had been appointed by the suffrages of 1(1)ATTHII
people. It was with peculiar satisfaction the PATRIC
that he proposed the Honourable the Lord Pa JOHN S'
should take the chair.—(Cheers.) DAV*"
The motion having been !carried by ace! PE,
the Lord Provost took the chair amid loud
He said he considered it quite unnecessary

ment had rendered it sufficiently plain already.
then read the requisition calling the meeting.
Mr.Osavaen, M.P., said the requisition sal(
explained the object of their coming together,
he would not therefore detain them one minuf
he had no intention of making a speech at pr;
so important a subject as the corn laws. He
merely give it as his opinion that the existing
had done a vast deal of mischief, and would et
to do so as long as they existed. It was hit
that the trade in corn should be as free as the
in any other article.--(Cheers.) Any n
that prevented it from being so was injurious
unjust. The corn monopoly, he considered, cif
d,ffer from any other except that it was more I
sive, and more serious in its consequences. He
be in error in these opinions, as many pr
able to judge as he were of a different
thinking; but he had considered the matter
closely. Mach misconception seriously
prevailed on this subject in the public
and it was therefore of great importance,
would be highly advantageous, to arrange some
by which information regarding it might
more widely extended. If divested of the m:
cations which surrounded it, the public would
to see the matter in its true light, and the
corn would speedily become as free as in any
commodity. Whatever difference of opinion
might be on the merit of the question, ther
be none as to the propriety of circulating ii
Lion ; and to promote that, he had a series
lutions to submit to their consideration. It was
by same, that when the price of corn was so low,
was unnecessary, and wrong, to discuss the gut
of the corn laws; but he considered that this
the very time when they could dispassionately
soberly discuss them, and without any of tb
citement which would be inevitably felt, if di_
when the price of corn was high.—(Cheers.)
was doing a duty to the public to have the
at issue fairly discussed, Many persons were
to public discussions, and considered that there sa
be no public meetings--no excitement. He, on
tlttniful sty
contrary, always thought, that the more discuss
the less excitement, and that the more Govern'''.
trusted to the people, the less excitement would be
experienced in the country.—(Cheers ) It was ill '-
countries where the Governments did not trust lb'
people, that the greatest degree of excitement via' HE I
felt. Mr. Oswald then read a series of resolutions' SEU

the adoption of the resolutions, and stated, that bad h4tit'ted and
the proposition for doing away with the corn hove Ltisiatie an.

been suggested to him a few years ago, he would
have opposed it ; but he as now convinced that h. °f
had been wrong, and was clearly of opinion, that the I.ts of the
Bacheli
freer the trade in corn was the better.—(Cheers.) ?ti
The resolutions were then carried unanimously,
Mr. COLIN DUNLOP said, that having now agreed
to form an association, the next step was, to fix the '1 e; by
sum proper to be paid at entry. The Committee, 'Y Agnes
in drawing up the resolutions, were of opinion, that ~,Nanan ;
10s. or 20s. would be a requisite sum; but thel ilighbour ;
agreed to leave the fixing of it to the meeting. ge D
thought 20e. was a very fair amount to entitle to tilt S.

membership, and moved accordingly. Of courser 4,"Awt::.
the payment would not be annual, but taken only at a,

Mr. P. MACKENZIE considered the entry.moneY en mit]
by far too high. It would be a complete barrier tl, PAP-,
to the success of the association. The entry' i.ba had
money should be lower, in order to admit the"
humbler classes. He would propose ss. and was I) Myer
convinced that more money would be raised by en-
tries at that sum than at 20s.
Mr. C. DUNLOP was willing to agree to any stun T(
that would bring the largest supply of money into
the society.
Bailie FLEMING said, they seemed all agreed
that that sum was best which would produce the
largest amount. He would be disposed to strike s
medium, and say 10s. as the entry.
Mr. C. J. TENNANT proposed, that any person
sub.cribing from .ss. to 20s. be admitted a member.
—(Cheers.)
Mr. Tennant's proposal was then unanimously
agreed to, and a Committee appointed, Mr. Wm.
Gray to be interim Secretary.
Thanks were then voted to the Lord Provost,
for his conduct in the chair, and the meeting
separated.
The attendance was rather thin, which is to be
attributed to an understanding that went abroad
that the meeting, in consequence of the one held
on Tuesday, which was merely preliminary, wal
not to take place. It is worthy of notice that five.,
of the magistrates were present, and were placed,
along with their absent colleagues, on the Committee.
