M 097 AND PDXION.

At the Exeter Assizes John Goodwin, a private of the
13th Dragoons, was indicted for stabbing a woman, with
intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. This was
the only case for the city of Exeter. After the prose-
cutrix and other witnesses had been briefly examined,
Mr. Baron Alderson went over the facts of the case,
pointing out the discrepancies between the evidence of
the prosecutrix and the other witnesses, when the jury
immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. His Lord-
ship then, addressing the jury, said he found the papers
had denounced this case as a " horrible and bloody
assassination." Such prejudging the case in the papers
which were circulated among the jury was an outrage
on public justice, and could not be too strongly censured.
Peter Phillips, William Doddemead, and Thos. Batho,
were convicted of setting fire to a rick of wheat, the
property of George Kean, and sentenced to fifteen years'
transportation.
Eliza Daley, Elizabeth Daley, her daughter, and Jas.
Daley, her son, were indicted, at Liverpool, for unlaw.
fully exposing a child. The parties had been indicted
at the last assizes for an attempt to murder, but were
acquitted on the ground of a variance between the in-
dictment and the proof. James Daley, Not Guilty;
Eliza Daley and Elizabeth Daley, Guilty. To be impri-
soned twelve calendar months.
William Burgess, implicated in the Bank forgery,
was covicted at the Central Criminal Court, and sen-
tenced to be transported for life.
In the New Court James James, who has been many
years an active officer in the metropolitan and rural
police, and four years turnkey at the Brixton house of
Correction, was convicted of stealing a truck or barrow,
value 305., the property of Richard Burt, at Clapham,
and sentenced to be transported for seven years.
William Edbury, a clerk in the Post-office, was con-
victed of stealing a half-sovereign and two shillings, the
property of the Right Hon. the Postmaster-General of
her Majesty's Post-office, and sentenced to be kept to
hard labour for two years.
At Union-hall Charles Richert was brought up for
final examination, charged with stealing a gold watch
and chain, the property of Miss Williams, of Stamford-
street, and Fanny Dronsart as an accessory in the
robbery. Mr. Cottingham said that, having heard all the
evidence, he should commit Richert for trial to the Cen-
tral Criminal Court, and adjudge the young woman
Dronsart to put in bail to appear at this court on the day
after the Old Bailey Sessions commenced, to give the
complainant an opportunity of preferring a bill of indict-
ment against her as an accessory after the fact.

AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM.

(From Punch.)
The Agricultural Museum, lately opened under HA
auspices of the Royal Society of Agriculture, will
well repay a visit to the rooms of the Society, in
Hanover-square. For the information of persons
visiting London, we supply an imperfect catalogue,
which will direct the visitor to what are certainly the
Lions of the Museum.
Case 30.—Very curious, containing specimens of
" The English Labourer" (vulg. " The Country's
Pride"), natives of the various agricultural counties,
presented by different boards of guardians.
No. 1. A Buckinghamshire labourer.—Stands *six
feet high—weight, nine stone—colour sallow—eyes
sunk—bones very prominent. The smock-frock nine
years old—breeches ragged—boots very bad—found
in damp cottages. Fed upon bread and water, with a
little bacoa. When taken, attempted to destroy him-
self in the house. Mind uncultivated. Habits sullen
and brutal.

No. 2. A Norfolk labourer.—Characteristics as
above. This is one of the incendiary species.
Nos. 3,4, .5. Essex, Wiltshire, and Somersetshire
labourers.—The curious visitor is requested to ob-
serve the clothes of these interesting specimens. The
cases by the side of each contain portions of their
usual food, and a week's wages.
Case 40.—Contains a treasure, which is indeed
unique, and which the Society feels justly proud of:—
A new coat! ! purchased by a labourer with a fa-
mily, on 7s. a week wages ! As far as the Society can
learn, the only one ever exhibited !
Case 54.—The identical bat used by Lord Co-
ningsby in the game at cricket played by his Lord-
ship with real labourers. There is always a crowd
round this case, and no wonder.

Case 60.—A sovereign, returned by Lord Radnor
to a poor tenant on quarter-day; sent from High-
worth. By many considered the gem of the collection.
Case 100.—Very old " duties of property," disco-
vered lately in Holderness House, by the Marquis of
Londonderry. When furbished they have a very
imposing appearance, and were brought out with
great effect by the noble owner at a recent dinner
given to his tenantry in Ireland.
Case 120.—Numerous specimens of a new inven-
tion, called " the rights of labour." The ingenious
patentee declares that these rights were known to our
forefathers, though the secret has been lost. ex,
pects groat results from their re-introduction.

CHATHAM, DECEMBER 1 B.—AN INTERS' Fos.
On Monday night, the 16th instant, and during thos day
of Tuesday, the intensity of the fog along the Medway
and the Nore was so great that it entirely put a stop to
navigation. Not a fishing.boat, or any other craft could
venture out of port, The Medway steam boat, Captain
Giles, on Monday evening ventured from Sheerness pier
wuh passengers for Rochester and Chatham, but wet
obliged to drop anchor at the entrance of Standgata
Creek, where they laid all night and the next day, *es
passengera living as well as they could. This day the
fog is as bad-as ever, not a vessel or boat can be seen
rom the wharfs alongside the banks of the river. The
team-boat is still lying at the entrance of the Creek;
unable to proceed.

At a meeting of Middlesex Magistrates, held at the
Sessions House on Thursday, Mr. Pownall was elected
Chairman in the room of Mr. Sergeant Adams, resigned.
A ballot took place, as Mr. Rotch was also put in nomi-
nation, when the numbers were—For Mr. Pownall, 70 ;
and for Mr. Botch, 25. _

The recent decease of the Hon. Robert Otway Cave,
without issue, will cause the right to the Barony of Braye
to devolve, after the present Baroness, upon her four
daughters, amongst whom it will be in abeyance, her
Majesty having, by letters patent, limited the same to the
present Baroness and the heirs male of her body.
On Wednesday night some gentlemen who were pre-
sent at Drury-lane Theatre, tied made acquainted with
the praise Worthy conduct of M'Carthy on Saturday
night last, at the late dreadful catastrophe, raised a pri-
vate subscription among themselves for the poor fellow's
relief, which amounted to upwards of 101.
On Sunday, the Bth, and last Sunday, the 15th inst.,
sermons were preached in the churches of Tottenham
parish, in aid of the funds of one of the parochial schools,
when the amount received was 51/. In 1843 it was 701.,
and in 1842 711. 99. Such are the blessings of Puseyism.
The Lord Bishop of St.Asaph has distributed clothing
to upwards of 400 poor families in St. Asaph and the
neighbourhood, and is giving food daily to those who
are in need.

The Regalia were removed a short time since to
Messrs. Garrard's, the Crown jewellers, in the Hay-
market, for safe custody, while the necessary works
were going on in the new fire-proofapartment, which has
been constructed expressly for them in the Tower. On
Tuesday last they were removed from the premises of
Messrs. Garrard to the Tower. The public are now ad-
mitted to view them as usual.

To•morrow being t. Thomas's-day, the usual ward.
motes will be held in the various City wards for the
election of Common Councilmen for the ensuing year.
Most of the wards will be represented by the same Com-
mon Councilmen. The wards that will be contested are
Portsoken, Ctipplegate Within, and• Farringdon.
Without.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.—A spe-
eial meeting of justices of the county of Middlesex took
place yesterday, for the election of a chairman, at the
Sessions-house, Clerkenwell- green. There was a very
numerous attendance of magistrates. Mr. Tulk took
the chair. The two candidates put in nomination were
Mr. Pownall and Mr. Retch. The first was proposed
by Mr. Wilks, seconded by Mr. Walesby ; and the last-
named gentleman was proposed by Captain Bague and
seconded by Mr. Whi3kin. The ballot commenced
shortly after twelve o'clock ; and terminated at three
o'clock, when the scrutineers, Mr. Witham and Mr.
Orm, announced the result, namely:—Fur Mr. Pownall,
70; and for Mr. Retch, 25. Mr. Pownall was accord-
ingly declared duly elected.

LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1844.

When the question of the occupation of Sinde by
British troops under the command of Sir CHARLES
NAPIER was before the public, engrossing people's
attention in no ordinary degree, and creating a sin-
gular diversity of opinion among men of all parties,
The Sun was among the few journals that, from the
very first mooting of the question, strenuously
insisted on the occupation of that Indian province.
'She majority of our Contemporaries were decidedly
opposed to us on this knotty point, arguing that the
ltritish Government had no moral or legal right to
snake war on Sinde, and that it was a most iniquitous
azt of aggression, which would scarcely fail, in the
1 ng run, to be attended with disastrous consequences.
_' espite these arguments, which were urged from
tine to time with considerable force and ingenuity,
we still adhered to our original opinion; for, in the
first place, we were well aware of the treacherous
c mduct of the Sindian Ameers, who set at nought
their most solemn and deliberate pledges ; laughed at
the idea of maintaining the faith of treaties, and
suede them with us and broke them just as it suited
t .air convenience, so that there was absolutely no
i :lying on their sense of honour and justice ; secondly,
i: was a notorious fact that these degraded Ameers
were tyrants of the most remorseless- and incurable
character, who oppressed the miserable people sub-
j..eted to their sway with the most cruel exactions,
exceeding in this respect all that has been recorded of
l'irpoo SAIB and his father, Ihnza ALI, and had,
consequently, no claim on the forbearance of the
Pritish Government, with which they had so often
played fast and loose ; and, thirdly, they had the un-
controlled possession of the river Indus from its
mouth for several hundred miles up the country, and
blocked us out, whenever they pleased, from this
great highway of nations, thereby crippling our
means of extending and multiplying the commercial
resources of India, and preventing us from keeping
that quick, vigilant watch on the Affghans, the
relochees, and the wild tribes of the contiguous pro-
vinces, which recent events have shown to be indis-
p...nsably necessary to the safety of our Indian em-
?lre. For these and other reasons, not necessary
here to enumerate, The Sun was a constant advocate
for the occupation of Sinde; and we are glad to find
our AriOtlorttitivase adopted by the celebrated author
o: the""l4to of the Peninsular War," Major-
" Conquest
Cenerafg -:
who, in his work on the
of Sindeftl.4l4, t part of which has just made its
1
eppearanoe‘--m that the occupation of that i
country rots itt necessarily growing out of Lord '
A neg./41'6X

events hid ..relidered every way &tensible. Speaking
of the Sindian Ameers, for whose downfal so much
spurious syz Apathy was at one time expressed in Eng- !

Animals. These people have in the most meddle-
some way interfered with the sports of the lower
orders. flay have forbirnen a harmless main of
corks; they have set their faces against the pleasur-
able and innocent excitement of dog-fighting; duck-
hunting they have denounced as cruelty abominable;
indeed, there is no thorough English sport, enshrined
by the wisdom of our ancestors, that they have not
condemned as brutal and inhuman.

After the news from Blair Athol, we trust that
these poeple will feel themselves properly rebuked.
Sure we are it will be more than impertinence in
them to interfere with the sports of our countrymen.
Hence, the bear may again be baited to the delight
and edification of Englishmen ; the cock-pit at West-
minster may echo the triumphant clarion of conquer-
ing birds, and Copenhagen Fields be once more vocal
with the joyous cries of dog-fighting Britons.

CONCLUSION OF THE INQUEST
The inquest was resumed yesterday, when after the
examination of several witnesses, Mr. Hutchbury, at
twenty minutes past four o'clock, the foreman of the

The CORONER remarked that it was for the jury to
call for more evidence if they wished it.
The jury replied that they had heard sufficient.
The CORONER then ordered the room to be cleared,
which was immediately done.

At the last Quinquennial Meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the aunts paid, and a bonus of
five per cent. to the Share* in addition to the payment of the annual
Interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific
sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has
been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one.
half the premium ntay remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five
years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for .£l,ootl on the im-
mediate payment of the premium for .E5OO only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
£lOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five
years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and
should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be deducted.
