THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 14 MI6,

noes. How was it then that she was in her present
miserable condition, and why was her continual cry fur
repeal? Simply because she had been oppressed and de-
graded from time immemorial by her rulers; and until
those injuries had been redressed, Ireland would ever
continue poor and miserable.—(Much noise atel dis-
order.) The Mayrcoth Bill had been brought fore nod
by the Ministry, because they would not do justice to
Ireland ; because they wished to detach the priests
from the people, and drive them to be upon the side
of their oppressers. —(Cheers.) That was the real
secret of the new policy that had been introduced
by the Government. It was brought forward
to obviate the necessity of doing right, for to du
right would cost them much of that substance a hick
hitherto they had pocketed from the sources of the peo-
ple, and E 0 they had administered their opiate of the
Maynooth Bill. It was not a question which merely
affected the progress of religion, but it wes one which
vitally affected the very principle of civil government it-
self. If they did justice to the people, they would not
want paid priests to keep them down.—(Great cheer-
ing.) And it they did not have justice, they must have
either the policeman or the priest.—(Cheers ) The
spirit of Irishrn n had grown above the pox er of the
police, and knew well how to conduct their agitations
within the boundaries of the law,ai d set at defiance all
the opposition brought against them by Government.
The new ecclesiastical policy now just in its dawn was
brought forward to substitute the Ministry in the place of
the police, to carry out the designs of the aristocracy,
and, if possible, to keep the people in ignorance, in order
that they might be contented slaves. The simple question
which was put to the electors of the Borough on this
occasion was, whether such policy was to succeed or
fail ? Were the Ministry to go forward, helped as they
were by Whigs and Whig-Radicals, and those Tories ?
—(Cheers.) 'They called that Maynooth Endowmf nt
Bill a partial instalment of justice to Ireland ; they well
knew that it was not an instalment, but merely a substi-
tute for justice. It was intended to obviate the necessity
of doing justice, and every man who would give his vote
for the carrying out of this Bill, every such man must be
altogether ignorant or indifferent to the civil liberties of
his country. They should look upon this question as if
they were all concerned in it, for it came home to all.
It was a question which was just then in the seed, and
might be crushed for ever ; but let it grow, it would ex-
pand and produce its bitter fruits, and all
the agitation which might be raised against it would
be insufficient to put it down. Now was their
time to strike a blow for liberty.—(Cheers and noise and
disturbance which lasted for some time). The Hon.
Gentleman continued—He believed that the meeting were
convinced of the importance of the question at issue at
the present moment, and lie thought that the present
was the most critical time.—(Great noise—continued
interruption.) The labouring classes well understood
any political question that was properly laid before
them, and knew what was consistent with common sense,
honesty, and justice. The decision of this eh ction
would be of great importance with regard to the May
nooth grant, but he was never afraid of putting any
question to the popular suffrage. The gentlemen
whom he addressed were fully acquainted with his poli-
tical sentiments upon all the topice which now agitated
the public mind ; he would not, therefore, detain the meet-
ing by an exposition of them. In conclusion, the Hon. Gen-
tleman observed that, from the return made by the can-
vassers, if the electors would but press forward, which he
knew they were inciined to do, the victory would be theirs.
Mr. Miall then sat down amidst immense cheering.
Mr. Roo then moved the resolution in support of Mr.
Miall's claims, and, in doing so, observed that to his
knowledge there were many gentlemen that signed the
requisition for Sir William Molesworth who were not
aware that Mr. Miall was coming forward ; he would,
th refore, advise them to make haste and retrace their
steps, and send to Parliament a better representative
than the lion. Baronet, in the person of Mr.
Mr. JOHN DAY seconded the resolution, and after the
meeting had been addressed by Dr. Price and several
others, it was put and carried by a large majority.
Three cheers, with a mixture of groans and hisses,
were then given for Mr.Miall, and the tumultuous assem-
blage, s►fter lingering for a while in the yard, was at
length broken up.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES AT THE CITY GREEN.,
TA RD.— Ge:,rge Boyle, the driver of cab No. 2,034, was
brought before A:der,ean Copeland and Alderman Alusgrose
under the following eireamstaneus :
John Newman, the owner of the cab, stated that the defend-
ant had been in his employ about two months. On Sunday
last he went cut with the cab about nine o'clock in the morn-.
ing, but instead of driving it him‘elt he employed anceher per-
son to act for him, who, about. two o'4:Jock in the afternoon took
it to the Redcross-street stand and there left it, from whence
it was taken to the City greenyard. He had not only lost his
time as well as the work of the horse and cab for the day, but
had to pay I3s. fees to the keeper of the yard before he could
obtain Isis property back.
Alderman COPELAND said the charge was most shameful,
and wished to know how it was made tit.
Newman replied that Is. was charged for bringing the horse
in, and 3s. the fee to the yard; alto Is. each wheel for bring-
ing in, and Is. 3d. each greenyard fees.
Several hackney coachmen here said that the fees were too
bad. If a coach was in the yard only two minutes before it
could be released, the parties would have to pay 17s.
Alderman COPELAND thought there must be some over-
charges, and rent for the master of the yard.
On his arrival, Alderman COPELAND wished to know how
he made out the charges 2—The Alaster said they were per-
fee:ly correct, according to the table made out by the Court of
Aldermen in the year 1838. The four shillings charged fur
bringing in were paid quarterly into the Chamberlain's office,
but formerly used to be paid to the Commissioners.
Alderman COPELAND said he would give the defendant one
month to pay his master for the loss he had sustained, which
would be I/. Is. With respect to the overcharge of 4s. for the
horse, he would consult the City solicitor, and if he was of the
same opinion as himself with respect to the rules, the money
should be returned. He would, however, advise the proprietors
of cabs, coaches, &c., to petition the Court of Aldermen
against the charges, and he had no doubt they would be mate-
rially altet ed.—The parties then retired.

MARL BOROUGH-STREET.
The Hon. Mrs. Greville, of Eaton•place, summoned Cor-
poral Major Parkinson, of the Knightsbridge Barracks, for
detaining a horse, her property, value 141. 10s.
The circumstances under which the summons was taken
out appear to be these, although the abven,e of the com-
plainant prevented them from coming out in evidence in the
ordinary way :
A servant of Mrs. Greville was sent to sell a horse at Tat-
tersall's. He made a sale to the defendant, which sale was
disputed by Mrs. Greville on the plea that she had never au-
thorised the seller to sell her property. The defendant was
applied to, but he refused to give up his purchase, and, in
order to compel him, a summons was taken out.
The case appeared to excite rather more than usual inte-
rest, as several officers of rank were in Court, among them the
Earl of Munster.

Mtn. waiting an hour for the complainant the profes-
sional gentleman who attended on behalf of the defendant
applied to the Court to have the summons discharged. He
considered that his client had been rather hardly dealt with,
in having been compelled by summons to come to this court
with his witnesses, to show rause why he detained a horse,
when the clearest evidence was inexistence that the animal had
been fairly bought, and that the lady herself had recognised and
acquiesced in the validity of the transaction for at least nine
days before the summons was resolved upon.
Mr. HA RDWICK said, the representation made to the Court
when the summons was applied -for was that the amount was
under 151. in value, and that the horse bad been disposed of
to the defendant without the knowledge or consent -of the
owner. As a matter of course the summons was granted.
The Learned GeLtleman hoped that his client would not again
be taken from his business to answer a complaint never intended
to be brought forward. The defendant, he conceived, ought
to have compensation for his lcss of time, and he hoped the ma-
gis.rate would oblige the complainant to pay the expenses in-
curred.

Mr. HARDWICK said he had no power to give more than the
ordinary costs for the summons.
The summons was then discharged.

LAMBETH.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Iane Brightwell
was charged before Mr. Norton with stealing a cash-box, con-
taining 151. in gold, five pounds in silver, and a 51. note, and
also various other property belonging to her late mistress.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been
servant at the Elope and Anchor public-house, in Park-street,
Kensington, but had been discharged on Tuesday fortnight.
On the evening of Tuesday following the bed-room of Mrs.
Lucas, the landlady, was entered, the drawers forced open, and
a cash-box, containing the above-mentioned property, and
several articles of jewellery, carried away. Upon the discovery
of the robbery, suspicion attached to the prisoner - but it was
not until yesterday that Brooks, an active constable belonging
to the L division of police, succeeeded in tracing and appre-
hending her. Upon her bed-room being searched, a vast quantity
of new finery, consisting of dresses, shawls, boots, shoes, rib-
bons, &c., were found concealed between the joists of the floor-
, ing ; and underneath her bed there was also found a gold wed-
ding ring and a small seal, and the latter article was clearly
identified by Mrs. Lucas as her property, and as having been
in the cash-box at the time it had been stolen. Bros ks pro-
duced the whole of the property found, together with a chisel,
which he also discovered in the prisoner's room, and which he
said fitted exactly to the marks made upon the drawers of the
prosecutrix, and which had been made in forcing them open.
Mr. Games, who attended for the prosecution, presented for
the magistrate's perusal a number of love letters, from which it
appeared that the prisoner had carried on a correspondence of a
tender kind with afoot guardsman, quartered in the St. George's
Barracks, and there was little doubt, from the fact of the wed-
ding-ring and the fine dresses being found at her lodgings, that
she was about to get married to him.
The prisoner, after a lengthened examination, was remanded
for a week.
BEZZLEMENT.— George Ronaidson, a journeyman baker,
was charged with the double offence of embezzlement and ab-
sconding from his master's service.
Sir. William Henderson deposed that the prisoner, after
taking out with him a large barrow of bread to serve his cus-
tomers with, had left the barrow and bread in the street and
absconded. Since then be had discovered that he had received
various sums from his customers for which he had never
account( d, and, having traced him to another employment in
Aldersgate-street, he gave him into custody. Sir. Henderson
added that from inquiries he had made, he had ascertained the
prisoner had absconded from several masters in a similar
manner, but he was not aware that he had been guilty of
embezzlement before. _ _

The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done.
Mr. Henderson observed that masters in his trade were at
thu complete mercy of their men, and hoped his Worship would
deal with the case in a summary manner for absconding from
his employment.
Mr. NORTON did so, and sentenced the prisoner to the
highest penalty the law permitted, namely, three months'
bard labour.

A City off►cer, P 15, who apprehended the prisoner, asked
for his expenses.
Mr. NORTON—What expenses were you put to? Policeman
—Coach hire. I have come all the way from Smithfield.
Mr. Henderson-1 have paid all the expenses he has been
put to.
Mr. NORTON—I certainly shall not allow any expenses, and
I am surprised at his asking for any.

Mr. BaoDEair asked the prisoner if he had any defence to
make? Prisoner—Nt at al hire. . .

Mr. 13 itonEnt r said it wet his *dety to commit the prisoner
for trial for this felony. Something, had hero said *hoot his
having anotler wife in America, whom lie married there, but
there was no legal proof of such a marriage having taken
Vac e. There might be a question raised as to the validit yof
the English marriages, and it was for the pri.oner to make out,
if he can, that he had another wife living when he married
Emma Hoy. If he set up such a plea, and asked for a post-
ponement, the Court would detain him.—The prisoner NMI
then committed to Newgate to take his trial at trio nest ses-
sions of the Central Criminal Court.
WORSHIP-STREET.

DISTRESSING CASE.-Two scantily-clad, but clean and
modest looking young women, of the apparent ages of 16 and
18 years, applied to Mr. Bingham, in great mental distre s, fur
his assistance under the following circumstances:—
It appeared frc.m the statement of the applicants, that about
nine months since, their father, a journeyman carpenter
named Mudd, while engaged in his business, had the mis-
fortune to meet with a dreadful accident, by which he
sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and was com-
pelled to Le iemoved to the hospital, where he had remained
nearly ever since. In consequence of the unfortunate
occurrence, the family had been reduced to the greatest dis-
tress, which the applicants had endeavoured to alleviate by their
labours at ribbon-weaving, but that description of work was so
badly remunerated, that, by their joint and united exertions,
they were unable to earn more than Bs. a week, out of which,
besides their own support, they had to maintain their mother,
who was deaf and dumb, and incapable of obtaining a provision.
By the exercise of the strictest economy, they had contrived to
stiuggie on without assistance until Monday last, when their
father was unexpectedly sent home from the hospital, so little
improved in health, that they were obliged to place him in the
only bed they possessed, being confined, through their straitened
means, to one a; artment. Being now reduced to complete
destitution, having had no bed to sleep on for the last three
nights, they applied to Mr. Attrill, the relieving officer of
Spitalfields, to induce him to take their father into the work-
house, and enable them still to support themselves and mother;
but that person would only accede to their request on the con-
dition that their mother should also he removed; and, as the
latter expressed an insuperable objection to enter the work-
house, they were reluctantly obliged to solicit the interference
of the magistrate in their behalf.
Several of the officers attached to the Court bore testimony
to the moral and industrious habits of the your's, women, who
had been the sole support of their mother for a long time past,
although she was a person of violent and ungovernable temper,
and had made a very ungrateful return for their constant and
affectionate solicitude. _ _

Mr. BINGHAM said the applicants were certainly deserving
of great commisseration, and that, although the relieving
officer had acted strictly according to the letter of the law, in
refusing to admit one parent unless accompanied by the other,
yet he consihred he would have been perfectly justified in
making an exception in this case, and he should, therefore,
direct one of the officers to call upon him, and request that the
desired assistance might be aff irded.
The magistrate then ordered the usher to hand the appli-
cants 10s. from the poor-box for the relief of their immediate
necessities, and the poor girls expressed th• most grateful
acknowledgments for the gratuit

ROBBERY OF THE LEAMINGTON

AND WARWICK. DANK,

chi 4th of July a pr.trcnl, coutainicg one hontlred
101. local notes, was t )1: nat 0:e r..f.'a.mington and War-
wick banking-house, in Lt,a-nii-,„ton, a-d it was some
days afterwards ascot tamed that Wiltiam Henry Blan,y,
one of the clerks of the establishment, had appropriated
the stolen property. A a arrant was granted by the
Leamington magistrates to apprehend the accused, and
indorsed by the Lord Mayor, end Daniel Forrester was
employer'. by Messrs. Bush and Mullins, solicitors to the
Committee of Bankers for protection against forgeries
and frauds, to trace the delinquent and take him into
custody. Forrester and Superintendent Roby, of Lea-
mington, sneceoded in tting the accused into their
clutches at Calais on Tuesday last, and he now is in
prison there, to be disposed of according to the judgment
of the French authorities, from whom the officers re-
ceived every possible assistance short of his removal

from that country.
The following statements were made by one of the
clerks in the bank, by the brother of the accused, and
by the accuiel %.ho subsequently absconded,
before the magistrates, at L-ataingt,ii :
Mr. E. B. Wynne said, that on Friday, the 4th July,
he made up two parcels, o-e crntainiwr' 1,500/., in 51.
notes of the Warwick and Leamington Banking Com-
pany, awl 1,0001. in 10/. notes. Having counted the
notes, the numbers of which were entered in the note-
book, he directed both the parcels to Francis Smith,
SJutham, and placed them about twelve o'clock on the
mantel-piece. About five o'clock he placed them, with
a London parcel and ten other letters, on the :'ask of the
accused, with 3s. 4d. to pay the postage, and never ha I
seen them since.

W. H. Blaney, the accused, said th t about half-past
seven o'clock in the evening he took off his desk three
parcels and 10 letters, arid the money to pay the postage.
He then went straight down to the post-office, having
placed the parcels and letter in his left-hand coat
pocket behind. He went slow, and spoke to nobody on
the way, and at a quarter before eight he delivered the
parcels into the hands of the person who officiated at
the window, and put the letters into the letter-box.
He did not know what money he paid, nor to
whom the parcels were directed, but he concluded they
contained money. After having deposited the parcels
ho toil( a walk for about half a mile, and then, went
home.
The brother of the accused said the house in which
he believed the missing parcel lay was in the city of
London. He received that information from a person
who appeared to him to possess a knowledge of the
loss of the notes, and of the spot in which they were
deposited ; and who mentioned to him that the notes
were intended to be passed through several hands be-
fore they were to be presented for payment ; that they
were first to go to a firm in France, then to Hamburgh,
then to Russia, and then to London for presentation.
The houses through which they were to be passed were
first-rate houses. The witness first saw the person who
gave him the intelligence about three weeks ago in Lon-
don. That person first commenced a conversation about
the notes, and appeared to be acquainted with ►he cir-
cumstances, and witness endeavoured to obtain informa•
tion from him, and at last was told by him that the notes
were in the City of London, and would be presented to-
wards the end of October. The witness had not seen the
accused since the 16th of July.
It appeared that the accused, soon after the day last
mentioned by his brother, absconded. He was traced
with extraordinary skill from place to place by Daniel
Forrester and Superintendent Roby, till they appre-
hended him at Calais ; but whether the French authori•

ties intend to give him up to the custody of the English
officers, to be removed for trial to this country, has not
been ascertained.

DEALINGS WITH THE DEVIL.

One of those absurd cases arising out of pretended
dealings with the Devil became the subject of a trial,
three days ago, before the Tribunal of Correctional Po-
lice at Beauvais (Oise), which was unusually interesting,
from a priest being involved as an accomplice in the
fraud. The following is a summary of the facts as they
came out at the hearing:—Naguet, a shepherd, in the
service of a farmer named Luce, in the neighbourhood
of Beauvais, offered his master to show him the Devil,
and compel him to double any sum of money he would
bring into the conjuration. Luce, half believing and
half doubting, consulted the Abbe Mouchet, who was the
curate of a chapel of ease at Boutincourt, who told him
that it was possible, and agreed to join him in the spell,
which was commenced by this worthy son of the Church
with reading for nine successive nights a species of in -
cantation out of a red book. The curate sent his ser-
vant to buy a goat's kid, which was slain, its skin being
formed into a magic circle, and its blood used to sign a
compact with Satan, which the curate had written on a
skin of parchment. The Abbe also had two wax tapers
melted by two young girls, and with the wax and a stone
which he called etnatille he drew a wider circle, and, Owing
himself at the centre, called up Lucifer from the vasty
deep. But, as Lucifer refused to come, Naguet exclaimed,
" Bah! you manage this badly ; I must apply to an as-
sociate who knows better how to proceed. This asso-
ciate, whose name was Bigny, came. The nine incan-
tations were repeate I by him, and when they were
finished it was agreed that they should all meet at a
place called the Croix Blanche, at midnight, each
bringing a sum of money, and, having deposited it in the
earth, they were again to invoke the Devil. At the
appointed time they met, Luce bringing a bag contain-
ing 1,500 E, the curate another, in which he said were
450 f., and Naguet a pocket-handerchief, in which he said
there were 600 f., but in which, according to a dechAra-
' tion made by Bigny, there were no more than 10f. in cop-
per money. Bigny was to be the receiver, an the Abbe." to
be the depositor ; but Bigny insisted that each should
come separately to the spot and deliver his deposit.
Naguet came first, and gave his handkerchief to Bigny,
who handed it to the curate. Luce came next with his
1,500 E, and delivered the bag to Bigny, who on receiv-
ing it whispered to him mysteriously, " Go back again,
but on no account look behind you, for if you do
the Devil will be enraged, seize you, and tear you to
pieces." Luce went away trembling in every limb with
terror. Days passed away, and Luce heard nothing
more of his money. On applying to Naguet, he was told
that, to induce the Devil to bring back the money, not
only a second incantation must be made, but double the
sums must be broug ht. This, together with aninti-
mation which he received that Naguet and Bigny
had been boasting that they had taken him in, in-
duced Luce to lay an information before the magistrate.
The Abbe contrived to make his escape, but the two
other rogues were arrested. The Abbe was therefore
condemned by default to five years' imprisonment ;
Bigny, who had before been in the hands of justice, to
the same punishment ; and Naguet to imprisonment for
two years.— Galignani.

SUICIDE OF A DRUNKAlLD.—Yesterday Mr. Baker
held an inquest at the Portobello, Turville• street, Bethnal-
green, on the body of Robert Wakeman, aged thirty-seven, a
porter. It appeared from the evidence of deceased's wife that
he was an habitual drunkard, and that he had been intoxicated
from Tuesday week to last Tuesday, the day of his suicide.
He had frequently threatened to destroy his wife and children,
and she had often found his razor beneath the bedclothes. He
had latterly purchased a new shoemaker's knife, found since
his death. On Tuesday, in the absence of his wife, he hanged
himself from the handrail of the stairs. It was proved that
deceased laboured under delirium tremens, and that he de-
stroyed life during an attack of it. Verdict—" Temporary
insanity."
DISCOVERY or A QuicKsiLvEn MlNE.—There are
at the present time but two quicksilver mines of any importance
now in operation—the one, Almad n, in Spain, and the other,
Idria, in Austria ; and both are monopolises' by U. Rothschild.
We now learn from Tuscany, that a very rich and extensive
mine of this important metal has been discovered at Ripa, near
Pietra Santra. The mercury, although combined with sul-
phur, is very abundant. 'three horizontal galleries have
already been pierced in the side of the mountain in which the
vein is situate, and all three have arrived at an excellent vein
of mercury. The mineral produced )ields, according to
analysis, 20 per cent. of the purest quicksilver. It believed
that, itr a short period, no less than '2OO workmen will be em-
ployed, and that at least 100 or 1201bs. of metal per day will
be raifen.— Commerce.

- THE -
WEATHER. AND HARVEST. Since Sundhy
the weather has turned gloomy and cold again, though we have
not had n uch rain. A gr.at portion of the corn has been cut,
but the major part was in an unripe state. The crops in parts
of the neighbourhood are about an average, but there are other
parts where the wheat has sustained much damage from the
severity of the summer. The potato crop has also suffered
serious injury. The few bright and warm days we had last
week gave promise of effecting much good, but the weather has
s ince been so unfavourable that great fears ere now entertained
for the results of the harvest—Cambridge Advertiser.

DARTMOOR.—We hear it is in contemplation by
the Government to dispose of the prisons at Prince Town. The
courts and various buildings cover a space of thirty acres, and
during the late war near 10,000 prisoners were lodged is ithin
the massive gates. The prisons are surrounded by a double
wail and an iron railing; at certain distances on the inner
wall lamps used to be lit, and centries walked on the top, so
that escape of the prisoner was almost impossible. The prisons
at this time have the most gloomy appearance to parties who
visit there ; on the eastern side are the coffins in which the un-
fortunate Frenchmen were buried, quite above the surface of
the ground, caused by the storms of winter in this romantic
region, and the curiosity of strangers seeking for remains.—
Western Luminary.

A KING SIDING WITH TIIE RADICAL PARTY.—It
is known that in the last Swedish Parliament several bills,
containing organic and radical improvements in the Constitu-
tion, were thrown out by the lords and the clergy, in opposi-
tion to the votes of the burgesses arid peasantry, which latter
is represented in Sweden. The King was, it seems, reluc-
tantly compelled to yield to such a powerful impulse. In one
case, however, he did not, and gave his assent to a bill equa-
lizing the law of marriage and inheritance in i.ll classes of so-
ciety, which the nobles had protested against. This is the
first step, as it were, to do away with primogeniture and the
entailing of property. The Swedish papers are full in praise of
King Oscar, and consider this act as an indication of a liberal
and enlightened reign, like that of his late father.
SUICIDE PREVENTED.—The happy results of taking
due precaution, so necessary with the dispenser of dregs, was
fully exemplified in the praish of St. Martin's, on Tuesday last.
It appears that at about half-past seven o'cicek that morntng a
poor woman, the wife of Christopher Wilson, residing near the
union, and who had been in a low melancholy way some time,
sent her son, a little boy, to Mr. Freeman's, drupist, for
twopennyworth of oxalic acid, stating that it was wanted
for the purpose of cleaning some furniture. Mr. Free-
man, however, fortunately had the prudence to tend fir
the woman's husband, wi'h whom he agreed to send her
an emetic, which would neither harm the furniture
nor the woman in case she took it. The poor woman, not being
able to distinguish by the appearance the difference between the
emetic and oxalic acid, took the nauseous yet harmless substi-
tute ; the consequence was, that upon feeling unwell she retired
to her chamber, doubtless under the expectation of shortly
finishing her earthly career; nor did she mention the matter to
any of her family (excepting that " she would soon be better")
until towards the afternoon, when the effects of the medicine
had all but passed off. Any doubt as to the woman's intent is
removed by the fact of the bottle containing the emetic being
labelled " oxalic acid—poison." We heard that the poor
woman was to be removed the following day to a lunatic asylum
along with several individuals from the Stamford Union.—

INSOLVENT DEUTORS' COURT.

cAsr, OYe irts. ofrcritaa,

• (From Punc
Ye terday Mrs. Church—fairiliarly known to many
as Mother Church—applied for bail at this court.
Great interest was excited by the case, and the court
was thronged. Among the Bishops who were present,
and who appeared to feel acutely the condition of the
insolvent, quite as much as if it was their own, we
noticed the Bishops of London, Rochester, and Ripon.
Mr. Cook appeared for the insolvent, and Mr. Thomas
for the opposing creditor, one John Bull.
The insolvent—although appearing under what may be
conceived the most humiliatingcircumstances—was hand-
somely dressed in the very richest purple and the very
finest linen. Neither could she say, " silver and gold have
I none ;" being, indeed, ornamented from head to foot
with the precious metals. Her appearance, too, bespoke
one who looked benignly on the fat of the land. There
was a soft, contented sleepiness about the old lady's
eye; a ruddy pulpiness of lip; and her cheeks gloe ed
like a September peach. When she spoke—and she
would often interpose certain sentences, such as " the
wicked, in his pride, (loth persecute the poor;" " the
meek shall eat and be satisfied;" "let integrity and
uprightness preserve me"—the words seemed to flow
from the old lady like melted butter. The Bishop
of London was frequently observed to throw a sym-
pathising glance upon the insolvent, and now and then,
with his bands in his pockets, appeared to be buried
either in meditation or calculation (for our reporter will
not be positive).
Mr. COOKE said he appeared for the insolvent, and (of
course) in the whole experience of his professional lift.,
had never so keenly felt the responsibility of his duty.
The insolvent, Mrs. Church, was known to the
worthy Commissioner and every respectable per-
son present in that court, as a most virtuous and
discreet old lady a gentlewoman who, wherever
she lived—and he would not deny that she had many
residences, town and country—was an example of purity,
and chastity, and benevolence, to all around. The poor
and hungry who thronged her gates, and went away
relieved and strengthened, would never be known to
that Court. No ; her benevolence was like the refresh-
ing lymph that entered all their houses. There it
was, to cool the lip and assuage the thirst of him who
sought it ; bat the means which sent it there were out
of sight —thepipes were buried from the eye of man, deep
under ground. And thus was the charity of Mother
Church—for he would use the more endear-
ing epithet—laid on in the dwellings f the
poor. (Here the insolvent, becoming affected,
wiped her eyes with a lawn handkerchief
trimmed with lace, which a lady near our reporter
pronounced to be worth at least ten guineas a yard.)
Well, he now came to the immediate cause that had
placed Mother Church in her present painful position.
The truth was, wide and deep as was her pocket, her
heart was wider and deeper still. It was true that of
late she had received certain sums of money—some-
thing between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,000 L Now, in the
ordinary concerns of life, 2,000,0001. or 3,000,0001.
were a large amount. Ile (the Learned Gentleman)
would not take it upon himself to say that to a humble
individual like himself a single million would not be
a sum demanding his especial interest ; yet it was
a strange fact—a fact oddly enough disregarded by
Ricardo, M'Culloch, and every other monetary
philosopher—that money always sank in value directly
it was applied to the purposes of Mother Church.
Let him not be misunderstood. What he wished to say
was this :—lt was well known that many Bishops—
faithful and loving sons of the insolvent—received
10,0001., 12,0001., 14,0001. a-year (for he would keep on
the safe side, and would not exaggerate). Well, it was
plain that such sums became reduced to at least one-
twentieth part of their value when dropt:into the pocket
of a bishop ; that what would keep house and keep the
laity in highest luxury merely sufficed to supply the de-
cencies of existence to the sons of the Church ; for once
a week, at least, they preach against pomp and all the
sins of the flesh ; and is it likely that they would do
this, unless great as might appear their revenues to the
" ignorant laity," they were as nothing when applied
to what he (the Learned Counsel) would venture
to call Church purposes? In his ardent youth—ere the
roseate visions of romance had been shut out by the
stern truthfulness of that court—he had read an Eastern
story, in which he read of one who was suddenly pos-
sessed, as he thought, of a large heap of gold; and 10l in
the morning, all the glittering coin was changed to
withered leaves. Some such strange, debasing trans-
mutation appeared to fall upon all moneys granted, for
the very best of uses, to Mother Church: they all seemed
to be turned to leaves—but whether or not to the leaves
of the Prayer-book, he would not say.
In conclusion, the Learned Gentleman asked for the
kindest construction of the Court. His client was all
unversed in the ways of this coarse, calculating, double-
entry sort of world. Her rule of three was not the rule
of three acknowledged in the city. It was true she was
in debt ; yes, with a choking throat he would speak it—
she was an insolvent. But she had—especially in her
early youth—never been used to keeping accounts ; and
she had fallen into her present plight from a most
beatific state of charity—namely, that her left hand
never knew what her right was doing.
The Learned Gentleman sat down, melted in his own
feelings, and amidst a melodious murmur of applause.
Many ladies, old and young, whose faces are familiar
to the beadle of Exeter-hall, were affected even to
hartshorn.

Mr. THOMAS said he was instructed by Mr. John
Bull to oppose the application. His Learned Brother
had made a most eloquent address, from which it would
appear that the insolvent had fallen into her present
difficulties from her extreme simplicity of mind—
from her all unworldly ways. He (Mr. Thomas) would
call the attention of the Learned Commissioner to the
appearance of the insolvent at that moment. Did she
appear a person who cared nothing for the outside
look of this world ? Would the Commissioner look at
her purple—would he cast his eye upon her lawn, so fine
that it seemed woven from the locks of angels ? Would
he also—indeed, so massive, so glittering were they, he
could not help it—would he also take note of the gold,
the gold not from Ophir, that decorated her ? More :
he would ask of the learned Commissioner to step
outside that court, and look at the splendid carriage
in which the insolvent had come down to Portugal-
street : to consider well • the silver harness, the
sa'in-skinned horses—for they were not asses from
Jerusalem ; and more, the coachman and footmen in
purple and powder. He would ask the Commissioner
to consider all these things, and then say whether the
insolvent, with such luxuries about her, ought to have
appeared in her present place, to pray the indulgence of
that Court ? And (said the Learned Gentleman) he
must oppose bail upon acts of ex travagarce, which, if
needful, he could prove on vied voce testimony. He
would not charge the insolvent with embezzlement.; no,
he would not quite do that. But he would show that
she ha I, in the most flagrant manner, misapplied the
funds placed in trust at her disposal for far other pur •
poses. He would show that she had received moneys in
order to build places of immortal comfort for the poor,
and that—they may call it maternal wea'aness if they
would—she had laid out such moneys in the purchasing,
not of houses—oh, no, houses would not satisfy her, but
palaces—for her children. He could prove what she had
done for one of her sons. She had laid out 30,000 L on
a palace for Rochester—" the beams of his house were

cedar, and his rafters were fir." And he (the Learned
Counsel) would again ask if such a person was entitled
to the indulgence of that court? What! they remanded
miserable mechanics—untaught, wretched men, for reck-
less expenditure—and would they wink at the unparal-
leled, the un-Christian extravagance of the insolvent? He
(the Counsel) would now call the attention of the Com-
missioner to one important fact. He would go back to
the origin, the early life of Mother Church, and would
prove that her babyhood. ay, her youth, was passed in
privation ; that her greatest comfort, her truest pride--
if, indeed, in those days she could feel pride at anything
—was to cast down the outside fashions of the wor1:1
to stand, as it were, tiptoe upon earth, her hand reach-
ing towards heaven. In those days, she went forth in
sweet simplicity, like Rebecca to the well—and did not,
like the insolvent before them, keep red-nosed buyers.
In conclusion, the learned gentleman, on the part of
his client, John Bull, begged that bail might not be
granted.
The Learned CO3I3IISSIONER said, this was a bad ewe
—a very bad case nevertheleas, he would not refuse
bail. When the insolvent came up to pass her exami-
nation, the learned counsel would then have a further
opportunity of oppsing her.
Mrs. Church then left the Court; and, as our reporter
understool, went off in the Bishop of London's carriage,
that her nerves might be properly attuned amid the
groves of Fulham.

NEW REGISTER- OFFICE.—In order to accomodate
the gentlemen of the bar who are in want of good situations, it
is in contemplation to open a register-office, where candidates
may enter their names, and electors may meet with any kind
of article they may wish to take into their service. No bar-
rister need apply, unless he can have at least six respectable
characters. Booksellers' certificates not admissible.—Punch.

NEW ARMY DEPOT.—As we stated several months
ago, Government having completed the purchase of 21 Acres of
land, the property of the trustees of Erasmus Smith, near the
town of Tippet-dry, military barracks to accommodate 2,000
will shortly be erected. They are intended for a general
army depot in that part of the south of Ireland.—Limerick
Chronicle.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—Ladies, whether temporarily
exposed to the scorching summer sun, or frequenting the
crowded saloon, or close assembly, will find Rowland's Kalydor
a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to comfort, dispelling
the cloud of languor and relaxation from the complexion, and
immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored
elasticity of the skin. The numerous varieties of cutaneous
eruptions, sunburn, freckly s, tan, and diseolorations, are pleas-
ingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicltely
clear and soft. Its purifying and refreshing properties have ob-
tained its exclusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family
of Crest Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, toge-
ther with the whole " elite " of the Aristocracy, and " haute
volee." The high reputation it bears, induces unprincipled shop-
keepers to offer their spurious " Kalydors " for sale, composed
of the most deleterious ingredients, containing mineral astrin-
gents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent
action endangering health. It is imperative on purchasers to
see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor," are on the En-
velope Om engraving of exqui-ite beauty from a steel plate by
Messrs. Perkins, Bacon, and Co.) All others are fraudulent
counterfeits 11 1
