tilree or four years ago the pawnbrokers were the
people who were doing ail the bin,ine.,s ; in some
towns there was more poverty than the pawnbrokers
could live upon.--(near, hear.) Now those things
which had gone to the sign of the three balls are gra-
dually making their way back again to the cottages
of the working people.—(Applause.) And when we
consider how much there is in all this, how much
there is in the improvement of trade of all that is im-
portant to a country and a people, I. think we shsll
not judge lightly or unwisely in considering this
question to be at this moment the most important that
can engage the reason of intelligent and reflecting
men.—(Applause.) Now, what is meant by improve-
ment in trade ? Most people think that it means that
manufacturers are getting more profit. 'Well, it does
mean that, and a great Baal more ; it means that the
workpeople are better einployed, and getting better
wages ; it means that now and then a man who is an
overiooker in a factory or a workshop is finding the
means to set up for himself; and that is one of the
finest thino-s that can be found in any country. It is
just one of those things that are never found in the
agricultural districts ; but it is found here every thy. i
—(hear.) But it means a great deal more than this.
linprorement in trade means that there is a saving in
human life; not that men are not cut off by the hand
of the executioner, or by the sword, but that they are
not cut off by the hand of famine—(Hear, hear)—
which is about the most ruthless, mo,t relentless, and
most cruel of all modes of disposing of the human
ace.—(Loud applause.) It may not have come within
your observation, but from the returns made by the
registrar- general, it appears that the mortality in the
district is very greatly diminished since the period
of high prices of wheat ; and it has been observed in
France, as well as in this country, and I believe it
will be observed in all countries where any accurate
statistical account is kept, that juse about in propor-
tion as the price of the staple articles of human food
rises, just in that proportion the human animal sinks,
decays, dies, and ultimately must become extinct.—
(Hear, hear.) I have here an extract from the regis-
trar's report for the district which he calls the north-
west division, and I'll read you the number of deaths
which were registered in 1840, when prices were very
high, when there was great stagnation in trade,
and great distress, owing to the very high rate of
feed, anl the number registered in 1843. It is as
follows :

ADMIRALTY COURT, Nov. 23.
The Court sat at eleven o'clock this morning, for the
purpose of hearing cases of collision and salvage.
THE JANE-SALVAGE.
This was a proceeding instituted by the master and
crew of a brig called the Dolphin, against the owners of
the Jane, which was a Newcastle vessel, bound, with
coals, to the port of London, for services rendered to her
while in distress at the mouth of the Channel.
It appeared by the affidavits of the salvors that they
observed the Jane aground and otherwise very much
disabled, when they bore down as close to her as they
safely could without injury to their own ship, and then
hoisted out boats, and, by the assistance of the crew,
succeeded in getting the same off. The services rendered
extended over about seven hours, and the salvors con-
tended that if the wind had at all freshened, she must
have gone to pieces ; and they also stated that they
exposed themselves to great personal hardship and dan-
ger.
The sum claimed as salvage was 1501.
For the owners it was contended that the alleged ser-
vices
were not required, and that the vessel would have
floated with the next tide.
Eventually 701. were awarded as salvage.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
There were a few cases put down on the paper for
hearing, but none of them were of any interest.

IN RE EDWARD BOUCII.
The insolvent, a beerseller, applied for his interim
order, but was refused because he had distributed his
property unduly among his creditors.
The Hon. COMMISSIONER remarked that it ought to be
generally known, that the final order would be in all
cases refused where the insolvent had paid one creditor
and left another unpaid. The law had laid down the
principal that the estate should be equally divided, and
he was determined to see it so carried into effect.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
GUILDHALL.
A young man named Cooper was charged with as.
saulting Sarah Borah Bernot, Jane Myers, and Emanue.
Solomons.

Miss Bernot said she lived at No. 9, Field-lane, and
that the defendant was in the habit of passing her resi-
dence frequently. She had been in the habit of annoy-
ing witness and Miss Myers for some time past without
any reasonable cause ; the consequence of which was,
that she was charged at this office a few days ago with as-
saulting Miss Myers, when she was held to bail. About 8
o'clock last night she came into her shop and saidshewanted
to fight Miss Myers. She told her that she would fight no
one there, and told her to go about her business. She
immediately laid hold of witness's sister by the head, and
dragged her out into the street, where she grossly as-
saulted her. A man who was in company with the pri-
soner knocked witness on the shoulder with so much
violence, that she had had no sleep all night, and she be-
lieved it to be dislocated.

Mr. E. Solomons said he was at the last witness's shop
last night, and saw the defendant come in, and offer to
fight Jane Myers, and witnessed the assault on Miss
Bernot. Whilst endeavouring to part them, the defendant
scratched his face in several places, and a watch-guard
was stolen from his pocket.
Miss Myers said she was in great danger from the
threats and violence of the defendant.
The defendant said that Mr. Solomons knocked her
down.
Alderman HUMPRERY said she must be bound over
in sureties to answer the charge at the sessions.
She was then locked up in default of bail.
The lad named Edwards, who was charged on
Thursday with having nearly murdered a fellow-appren-
tice during a trifling quarrel, was brought up on remand
to-day. A certificate was handed to Alderman Hum-
phe ry, which stated that the boy was not yet out of
danger, and could not therefore attend. Edwards was
remanded till Saturday, when the lad, it is expected,
will be called upon to attend.

THE FOG ON THURSDAY.
ROBBERIES.—On the above night about eight o'clock,
a young man named Cowper was crossing from the Al-
fred's Head, Newington-causeway, to the Elephant and
Castle, with a torch in his hand. When a short distance
from the kerb, he was pounced upon by two men from
behind ; one of them took the torch from him, and put
out the flame, while the other knocked him down, and
rifled him of a silver watch and four shillings, with
which they made clear off, and the fog was so dense
that it was impossible to ascertain which way they made
their escape. On the same evening a cart, in which
were two men, drove up to the pathway in front of a
cheesemonger's shop in the Walworth-road (nearly op-
posite the King's Head), where there were several firkins
of butter standing outside the door. One of them got
out of the cart and seized up a firkin of butter, which he
placed in the cart and jumped in after it. The fog was
so dense at the time that the cart was out of sight be-
fore any alarm was raised. Of course the fellows made
their escape with the butter. Shortly after five o'clock
the same evening, one of the clearing clerks of Jones
Loyd and Company's bank, was crossing from the
Poultry to the Mansion-house, on his way to the clear-
ing house, when he felt a heavy tug at his pocket be-
hind, in which he carried his case, containing bank
notes and cheques amounting to upwards of 10,0001. He
immediately turned round and perceived a fellow endea-
vouring to break the chain which was attached to the
bo k, one end of which was round his waist. The fel-
low ran down Walbrook, and made his escape in the fog,
which was very thick at the t;me. A large teadealer's
shop, opposite Kennington Church, was broken open on
the same night, and property worth 100 L was stolen
therefrom.
