language and breaking a pane of glass of the house No. 6,
Chamber -court, Wbitechapel.
A little more than three months ago the prisoner was
convicted by Mr. Partridge, on her plea of guilty, of a
very cruel robbery, and sentenced to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour. She met a little girl under
five years of age, took the boots of the child's feet, and
made away with them. The prisoner was released from
prison on Saturday last, and yesterday she repaired to the
dwelling of the girl's parents, a respectable couple named
Moore, abused them, and said she would have her revenge
upon them for causing her to bo sent to prison. She also
broke a pane of glass and made a great disturbance. Her
language and imprecations were most horrible.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner was very leniently dealt
with by his colleague, after committing a most audacious
and cruel robbery. The prosecution was a most proper
one, and the prisoner bad shown a very revengeful spirit.
If she dared to molest Mr. and Mrs. Moore again when she
came out of prison, or went near their house and made a
disturbance, he wGuld commit her to prison for six month
if she did not find bail, The prisoner was a hardened old
sinner, and quite undeserving of the mercy extended
towards her. He should now sentence her to two in9nits,
imprisonment and bard labour.

Great Demonstration of Conservatives at
York.

Recent events have called forth in this country
the institution of various Conservative Working
Men's Associations, for the better organisation of
the conservative interest. Amongst the many of
these institutions so recently formed a very vigorous
and strong one has been instituted at York, and the
result has been that yesterday an aggregate meeting
of the Conservative and Constitutional Associations
of Yorkshire was held in the Festival Concert Room,
York.

The proceedings commenced by a nfeeting of de-
legates from the different associations in the county,
when various formal matters were discussed, and a
code of rules for future government decided upon.
Another meeting, open to the public, was held
the same afternoon in the same place, when a very
large and influential assemblage of Conservatives
took place.
Amongst those present we noticed the Hon. Ad-
miral Duncombe, M.l'., J. Lowther, Esq., M.l'.,W.
Busfeild Fernald, Esq., W. Woraley, Esq., W. D.
Husband, Esq., W. H. R. Read, Esq., M.P., &c.
Admiral Buncombe, M.P., was called to tlic
chair, and he briefly addressed the meeting to show
that the determination of the Conservative 'party
was to support constitutional principles, and not
to be led away by the vile machinations of such
men as Mr. Beales.

Mr.HQLMES, of Leeds, the general secretary, then
read the report, which alludes to the fact that many
years ago a small Conservative association had been
formed in Leeds, and since that time the principle
had attained large proportions, and the report san-
guinely .expressed its hope that its influence would
be soon felt all over the country. (Applause.)
The Rev. J. H. F, KENDALL, of Leeds, briefly
moved that the report be received and adopted.
Mr. RorEtt, Batley (working man), in secondink
the motion, very eloquently and emphatically urged
upon the meeting the fact that to the Conservative
party the working men of this country were largely
indebted for a great amelioration of their condition
and their social elevation, therefore he hoped that
they would not forget to whom they were indebted
for the recent large and excellent extension hi the
representation of this country, and that when an
election. should take place a very great proportion
of her Majesty's present advisers would be returned.
(Loud and prolonged applause.)
The motion was then agreed to.

Mr. WORSLET, Hoviniham, then proposed the
following resolution :—" That this conference ex-
presses its gratification at the formation of Conser-
vative and constitutional associations, especially
amongst working men, and pledges itself to assist
in their extension throughout the country." (Ap-
plause.)
Mr. CLARK, Leeds (working man), seconded the
resolution.

The motion was then agreed to.
Mr. BOWER, Welham, proposed—" That this
conference requests the secretaries and the council
of the Yorkshire Union to issue an address to the
Conservatives of Yorkshire for aid and support to
this association." He said, not being possessed of
the eloquence of the two preceding speakers, he
should simply remind them that "it is money that
makes the mare to go." (Laughter.)
Mr. BARBER, Halifax (working man), seconded
the resolution.

Mr. FRANCE, of Batley (working man), volunta-
rily made a very eloquent speech, demonstrative of
the perfect nature of the machinery as developed by
these associations.

The resolution was then put to the meeting and
carried with applause.
Sir DIGBY CATLEY, on rising to move the next
resolution, could not refrain from expressing the
pride and gratification he felt at the heartiness,
eloquence, and good feeling displayed in the speeches
of the working men who had preceded him. He then
moved, " That this conference desires to impress
upon all members of associations the great need of
their individually paying diligent and immediate
attention to rendering all the assistance they can to
the registering of roturs in their respective localities."
(Applause.)
Mr. HOLMES, the secretary, seconded the resolu-
tion.

The CHAIRMAN put the motion to the meeting,
and it was carried unanimously.
Mr. B. FERRAND then moved a vote of thanks to
the chairman, a proposition which was received with
three hearty cheers.
Mr. BURRILL, York, seconded, and Mr. HURST
(both working men), supported the motion.
The CHAIRMAN explained that his nephew, Lord
Feversham, would have been present that day to
take the chair, but for his very important duties
keeping him in his place in the House of Lords. lie,
the chairman, frequently sat in the House of Com-
mons and admired the eloquence of Mr. Bright, but
he did not admire his principles ; on the contrary,
he admired not only the speeches made that day,
but their principles also. (Applause.)
The proceedings then terminated.

MARIOTS.—This day.

MARK LANE.

The supply of Englibh wheat was again limited, but the
show of foreign samples was moderately extensive. The
sale for both rod and white qualities of English was dull,
and Monday's prices were with difficulty supported. For
foreign the demand was of quite a retail character; never-
theless, Monday's values were unchanged.

The floating grain cargo trade ruled steady at firm
prices. •
Tho supply of barley, both English and foreign, was
very scanty, and for both grinding and distilling qualities
prices were firmly supported.
We have no change to notice in the malt trade.
The quotations remain as on Monday last.
Oats were in good supply and sluggish request. Fine
parcels suppor:ed previous terms, but inferior and heated
kinds ruled rather cheaper.
Beans and peas met a dull inquiry at late rates.
0-kes remain steady, but in agricultural sends there is
little passing.
The flour trade is firm at full currencies.

DESPATCII OF 13LISINESS AT JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—
The Act to provide for the better despatch of business in
the Chambers of time Judges of the Common Law Courts was
yesterday printed. It recites that a great. part of the business
in the Chambers of the Judges of the three superior Courts
at Westminster might, with advantage to the public, be
disposed of by the Masters of the Court. A majority of the
Judges may make rules empowering the Masters to transact
business at Chambers, except in respect of matters relating
to the liberty of the subject. Every rule made under the
Act is to be read in open court, to be sent to the Lord
Chancellor, and to be published in the London Gazette.
An appeal is given from a Master in Chambers to a Judge
sitting in Chambers. By the Act requiring to be read aloud
in open court in each of the courts at least ten days before
the day fixed for coming into force, the Act cannot take
effect until Michaelmas Term, otherwise it might have
been of benefit during the present circuits and the appro
ing long vacation.
