BIRMINGHAM REGISTRATION

DINNER.

On Tuesday evening last a public dinner was given at
Radenhurst's New Royal Hotel, to the Professional Gentle-
men belonging to the Reformers' Registration Society, who
gave their gratuitous assistance in the Barristers' Courts.
A large company sat down to dinner. Henry Smith, Esq.,
(President of the Society), filled the Chair ; and Messrs.
James James and C. C. Scholefield occupied the Vice-
Chair. Near the Chairman sat the Members for the bo-
rough, Thomas Attwood and Joshua Scholefield, Esqs. The
cloth being drawn, the following toasts were gis en by the
Chairman in succession :

" The King, and may he never forget the principles
which placed his family on the throne of these realms."--
(Loud cheers.) " The Queen." " The Princess Victoria,
and may futurity see matured the promise of her youth."
(Loud applause.)
The CIIATRIMAIN next proposed " The Duke of Susicx,
'and the rest of the Royal Family," which was immediately
received- with cheers, and loud cries of " No Cumberland"
—" No Orangemen." The health of the Duke of Sussex
was ultimately drank alone.

The CHAIRMAN said he believed the'next toast would be
drank with perfect unanimity—it was " That Power in the
State for whom alone Kings ought to reign—the People."—
(Great applause.)
The CHAIRMAN said he was sure the next toast would
be drank .in a bumper, since it was one in which the town
of Birmingham must ever feel itself interested, he meant
the " Health of his Majesty's Ministers."—(Tremendous
cheers.) He was happy to witness this expression of their
feeling, since it would relieve him from the necessity of re-
counting the many benfits which had been conferred upon
the country.by the present Ministry, nor. need he remind
them of the manner in which the high-minded and patriotic
Nobleman at the head of his Majesty's Councils was within
the last twelve months expelled with ignominy from cflice ;
but who, like his predecessor Lord Grey, was carried back
upon the .shoulders of the people.
" His Majesty's Ministers."—(The toast was drunk with
three times three hearty cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN shortly after rose and said, that' all re-
membered by how large a majority the Reform candidate for
the northern division of this county was driven from the
field by the Tory at the last election, and they felt severely
the, disappointment they bad experienced at the conduct of
The other successful candidate, for whom they were induced
to split. their votes.—(Cheers, and cries of " We are not to
be deceived again.")—The result of that election was the
Reformers' egistration Society, and the result of that,
again, was the command of at least one-half .the field, thus
rendering innocuous the efforts of their opponents.—
(Cheers.) The Chairman, after some further remarks,
complimentary to the professional Gentlemen by whom this
increase on the Liberal side was mainly to be attributed,
concluded by proposing their healths with three times three,
observing, that he believed so long as a body of men like
these were to be found in every town of the empire, the
rights of tire people were secure.
The toast was drunk with three times three enthusiastic
cheers, and one cheer more.
WILLIAM REDFERN, Esq„ on behalf of his Learned Col-
leagues and himself, rose to return thanks, and was received
with loud applause. When he considered at how late a
period the Registration Society was formed, and the many
eifficulties which beset it on its outset, it was to him matter
of great surprise that so much had been effected. It had,
indeed, surpassed their most sanguine expectations ; and he
did not ,hesitate to say that, notwithstanding that most per-
nicious clause in the Reform Act, which, let it never be
forgotten, formed no part of the original but was
thrust into it by their Tory opponents—be alluded to the
Mt' tenant-at-will clause—by which a class of men, very
little removed from the condition of the ancient serfs of the
soil, were admitted to the franchise. Notwithstanding this
clause, so great had been the energy and patriotism of this
town, ever true as the needle.to the pole, that the Northern
Division of the County could not be much longer disgraced
by the representation of two men, one of whom was
avowedly a Tory, and the other, he was sorry to say much
worse of him, a Tory.—(Loud cries of hear, hear.) Mi-
nisters had at present a majority in the House of Com-
mons, but they must not forget that it was a slender one,
and, what was much worse, it was precarious.—( Hear.)
This it Was, no doubt, which had emboldened the Lords to
throw out and treat with scorn and contumely many most
excellent measures sent up to them by the Commons.—
( Hear, hear.) He would not withhold the expression of
his supreme delight at the noble attitude of this town. It
seemed that it mattered not whether the subject were a
church-rate, a borough election, a registration, or a revision,
the popular cause was always in the ascendant.—(Loud
applause.) Nor let it be forgotten, that, with one excep-
tion, which certainly was a blot on the town escutcheon,
he alluded to the infamous Church and King riots, with
that exception the men of Birmingham had always distin-
guished themselves in the liberal cause. Mr. Redfern con-
cluded a brilliant speech, of which we have given but a
faint outline, by expressing a hope that the inhabitants of
Birmingham might always be first and foremost in the ranks
of liberty.
The other professional gentlemen then severally briefly
returned thatiks.

Ann Sparks, Caroline and Ann Collins, the first
servant to a Mr. Barber, and the last two servants to Mr.
Levine, of Bishopsgate-street, where Mr. Barber and his
family reside, were brought before the LORD MAYOR.
Mr. Osborne, of BishopsJate-street, druggist, lived next
door to Mr. Levine. On Tuesday evening, at about
quarter before six o'clock, he saw a light issue from Mr.
Levine's house. He immediately informed Mr. Ltvino
who said it could net be, but on going up stairs ha
found that the back room on the second floor was on fire.
.After some difficulty Mr. Levine and he, assisted by a*.fire-
man and other persons, succeeded in extinguishing the
which if not checked would have burnt the }wive to the
ground in five minutes, and in all probability communicat-at
to and destroytd the immense property on each side. tba:
following day witness went into Mr. Levine's shop, to spe
to him about several pounds of gunpowder whin'. it wr,.. re-
ported were deposited in the house. lie had scarce', said a.
word upon the subject, when one of the gifts caw': running
down stairs and cried out that the house was on fire, from,
which it appeared that whoever had done the mischief :u as
determined to do it effectually. Upon going up • stairs,
they found that the middle room on the third story was 01v
fire, and on entering the room they saw that the bed vag
on fire in four different places. Sparks was taken to the
station house ; and, whir; they were searching her, two
pieces of matches, partly consumed, dropp .d from her
bosom. Ann Collins was afterwards take!, into custody,
and some matches and a Lucifer paper were found upon
her, and she stated that Caroline Ballain had given them
to her, and that they were in the habit of lighting the tires
b 7 means of them. Collins and Ballam slept together.
Mr. B. G. Levine was owner of the house in question,
and Collins and Ball= were his servants. On 'the 'Tues-
day evening- Mr. Osborne and Mr. Stevens came into the
house, and said it was on fire. 'Witness went up to the
first floor, and seeing nothing of the kind then returned.
He then heard the fire was in Mr. Barber's rooms. He put
away-some papers which he Lad, and he sent away the
child, and ran up to the second floor, where he found the
bed in flames. lie then called out for water, and seized
the curtains which were set on fire, and succeeded in
quenching the flames. On the next day Mr. Osborne
walked into the shop, and made some observations upon
the report that there were twelve pounds of gunpowder in
the house. Jae (witness) by-the-bye, never kept more than
four pounds of-that article on the premises, and that quan-
tity was in seperate divisions in the shop. Witness's wife
at the moment observed that there was a smell of f:e, and
immediately afterwards a cry of lire was heard. Witness
ran up Stairs'and found the bed in the middle ,-ooni of the
third floor on fire, which, with the aid of others, he extin-
guished. On the first night when the house was so near
being burnt to the ground, and his all was at stake, the
house was not insured.

The LORD MAYOR—In what state did :ou find the ted?
Witness—lt was on fire in four different places. -
Ann Collins (the servant of all work to Mr. Levine) ha&
not been at all in the room in which the fire was. That
room•was Mr. Barber's. Sparks asked her what a trap-
door which was near the kitchen was for, and she replied
that she believed it -was for escape in casa of fire. Sparks
then said, " That if a fire took place, she could run right
through the kitchen, and get out at the window." on the
evening of the second fire, Sparks came tl her a Short time
before, the fire took place. As for the lucifer„ she used
them -..in lighting the tires, and she had tzot them from
Caroline 'Ballam, her fellow-servant. She Ueclared that she
had not the East idea how the fire originated.

BaHam was quite ignorant of the fire, and never bad been
up stairs at all. She took the Lucifers out of her master's
drawers, and gave them to her fellow-servant,
Anil Sparks, when she was going to slip on some clothes,
saw Ann Collins come down stairs with a candle in her
hand, and immediately afterwards heard an alarm of lire.
Air. Levine said it was usual with Collins to light a lire
in the ben-room in the evening.
The Logo MAvon (to Sparks)---"You heard Mr. Osborne
say that two matches fell from your breast in the station—
house.,

Sparks declared that she had no matches, for she kept
her fire up.

Mr. Levine stated that a match, three parts of which
appeared to have been burnt away, was found in the room
adjoining to that in which the fire took place.
The Lonn MAYon asked whether it was positively
ascertained that matches fell from the person of Sparks in
the station-house

A 'police sergeant stated that Sparks was the only one of
the.three prisoners who was at the station-house, and that
the matches dropped from the breast of her gown.
Mr. Osborne—lf the fire had spread the consequences
would have been fiightful. On the one side of the house
is a chemist's shop, on the other a wine and spirit ware-
house and an oil shop, and the most combustible materials
were all at hand. The lucifer box was, he added, found in
Collins's room, warm.

The L. 0.0 MAYOR said that as there was no evidence
to criminate Hallam, she should be discharged, but the two
prisoners Sparks and Collins must be remanded.

The CHAIRMAN, after some complimentary remarks,
proposed the health of Messrs. AttwoOd and Scho!efield,
Members for the borough, which was drank with thee times
three enthusiastic cheers.

QUERN- SQUARE.

On Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, a very serious
disturbance took place in Duck-lane, Westminster, in con-
sequence of a murderous attack made upon a man named
William Ayern, a cork-cutter, residing. at No. in the
above lane. At the above-stated hour the attention of the
police stationed in the neighbourhood was drawn to the
spot by the cries of " Murder," which -proceeded- from No.
2, Duck-lane. On arriving there they found Arent in lug
room, bleeding profusely from a wound in bis back, and on
questioning hint he stated that the injury bad bee:. int!icted
by his wife. She was, in consequence, immediately taken
into custody, and the wounded man was removed to the
Wesminster Hospital.

THOMAS ATTWOOD, Esq., M.P., returned thanks i❑ a
speech of so:ne lengh, in the course of which he alluded to
the'present all-engrossinr, topic of the reform of the House
of Lords, .which, he said, sooner or later must certainly be
effected, cre the country could hope for good government.
Whenever a reform of the Peerage might take.place, he
should like to see some distinction drawn between those
ancient and patriotic noblemen like- the Duke of Norfolk,
the Duke of Sutherland, the Marquis of Westminster, and
ethers, who had sacrificed their own interests for their
cantrY's good, and those who doggedly set themselves
against the people and their rights.—(Cheers ) Unques-
tionably the privileges of the Peers were given to them to
be exercised for the good of the country at large ; and if
they wen, not so exercised they must be called to account.
Mr. Attwood concluded by acknowledging the very essen-
tial services rendered to the town and country by the exer-
tions of the professional gentlemen whom they had the
honour and pleasure of entertaining that evening, and by
stating that, whenever he (Mr. A.) should be called upon
by a majority of the electors, or even of the non-electors,
whom he had the honour to represent in 'Parliament, he
would resign the trust into their hands.—(Loud cheering.)
JOSHUA SCHOLEkIELD, Esq., M.P., next presented him-
self, and was received with loud cheering. After thanking
the company for the honour they had done him, he pro-
ceeded to recount many of the acts of the Ministry during
the laSt Session, and stated that. in Lord Melbourne and
his colleagues he had the greatest confidence. After pay-
ing a compliment to the professional Gentlemen present,
Mr. Scholefield noticed the great exertions which had been
made by the Chairman in the business of the Registration
Society, and the very liberal manner in which he had con-
tributed to its funds ; and concluded by proposing that gen-
tleman's health, as the founder of the Society, which was
drunk with three times three. _

Mr; SMITH returned thanks in a manly and spirited
speech.
The healths of the Secretary, Vice-Presidents, and se-
veral other toasts, were subsequently given, and the hilarity
of the evening was contiNued until a late hour.

Yesterday morning the wife, 2Elizabelli Avern, a young
woman, about thirty years of age, was brought up in cus-
tody from the station-house, and placed at the bar before
Mr. WurrE, ftle sitting Magistrate, charged with the drone()
in question.
The husband, although suffering from the wound he bad
receive:'•.. attended to prefer the charge. He appeared very
weak from loss of blood. He stated that he went home
about eleven o'clock on Thursday night rather inebriated,
and soon after went to bed ; that he was awoke by an at-
tack made upon him by his wife, who stabbed him in the
back with a table knife, and then ran down stairs into the
street. He then called out murder, and in a few minutes
the police came into the house. He subsequently went to
the hospital, and had the wound dressed.
In answers to questions from the 111.kutsTa.cru, the hus-
band could not account for the attack his with had made
upon him. She was of very drunken habits.
The prisoner was fully committed fur trial, and the wit-
nesses were bound over to prosecute.
