MEETING OF LICENSING MAGIS-

Mr. Humphries thought it was more frequently done
than his Worship was aware of.
Mr. Joseph Montague said that, after the lamentable
death of his late uncle and aunt, he took possession of
the whole of the books and papers in the shop, and
handed them over to Mr. Boyce, the accountant.
Mrs. Lucy Bears, the wife of a gardener at Camber-
well, deposed that she was laundress to the late Mr. and
Mrs. Montague, and was in the frequent habit of calling
at their shop ; and was also laundress to the family of
Mr. Smith, a gentleman who resided in the same row.
In the month of September last, she was in the shop of
Mr. Montague, and heard him and Mrs. Montague in
conversation about money matters. The prisoner Muy
was in the shop at the time, and bad he been listening
must have beard what Mr. and Mrs. Montague said.

TRATES FOR FINSBURY.
At the above meeting of Magistrates held, by adjourn-
ment, yesterday in the Committee-room of the Mid-
dlesex Sessions House, Clerkenwell, there were in all
twenty-eight applications for licenses to sell exciseable
liquors•by retail—namely, in the parish of St. Mary,
Islington, 21 ; St. James's, Clerkenwell, 4 ; and in the
parish of St. Luke, 3.
Mr. Samuel Prime, cabinet- maker, 14, Lewcr-road,
Islington, applied for and obtained a license for the house
No. 41, Gerrard•street.
Mr. George Just next applied for a license to a house
at the corms of College-place, Highbury-vale. The
application had been made on several former occasions
without success.

Mr. WILKS, the Chairman, now observed to Mr. Just,
that in consequence of his excellent character and the
highly creditable manner in which he had conducted his
house, and which had given satisfaction to all the neigh-
bouring gentry, the bench had determined on granting
him a license.
A MAGISTRATE observed, after the applicant had with-
drawn, that the club. room of the house contained the
most varied and beautiful specimens of stuffed birds and
Indian ornaments he hail ever seen.
Mr. George Dennis applied for a license to the Golden
Lion, No. 24, Great William-street, CaleConian-road.
The Bench granted the license.
THE GREAT CONTENDING RAILWAYS FROM LONDON TO

Could not recollect whether there was any other person
in the shop at the time besides Mr. and Mrs. Montague,
the prisoner, and herself, but her impression was that
the prisoner had heard what had been • said by the de-
ceased, as it had been spoken in rather a loud tone of
voice. Mr. Montague said he could not think what was
the reason why Mrs. Smith did not discharge his bill as
welt as the rest of her tradesmen. He said he under•

stocd Mrs. Smith had paid every tradesman but him, and
could not think the reason she should have excepted
him. He further said that Mr. Smith wes a builder, and
perhaps might have wanted the money for another pur-
pose. There was another occasion, about Christmas last,
when she (witness) was iu the shop of Mr. Montague,
and heard him speak about Airs. Smith, No. 9 in the
row. At the time there were other persons in the shop,
but she could not recollect how many or who they were.
The prisoner was packing up a basket of goods, and
might have heard the deceased if he had been listening.
Mrs. Montague said to her husband, " Serve you right ;
you should have taken your bill to No. 9 yourself, and
you would have got your money." Witness thought the
person meant by this conversation was Mrs. Smith, at
No. 9. _ _

YORK.

It being generally expected that the terminus of the
successful railway company of the line from London to
Yolk will be formed at or near the end of the Caledo-
nian-road, there were no less than three applications for
licenses in the immediate vicinity—viz., Mr. Henry
Blore, for No. 1, Caledonian-terrace, corner of Albion-
street, Caledonian-road ; Mr. Robert James Stuckey,
for the house No. 9, Stuckey-terrace East ; and Mr.
Matthew Hitchcox, for No. 1, Melville-terrace, Caledo-
nian-road.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for Mr. Blore, Mr. Payne for
Mr. Stuckey, and Mr. Bodkin for Mr. Hitchcox.
The counsel having severally addressed the Bench for
their respective clients, and the room having been
cleared of strangers, the magistrates deliberated for
about three-quarters of an hour, and upon the re-admis-
sion of the parties concerned, the Chairman announced
the decision of the Bench to be in favour of Mr. Hitch-
cox, who thereupon named his house the Star and Garter.
The other two applications were for the present refused.
The remainder of the business transacted was of an
unimportant character.

Mr. Wallinger hero handed to Mr. Henry a bill, made
out in the handwriting of Mr. Montague, and which had
been found in the ledger after his death, and in which
was inserted the amount weekly of the goods supplied to
Mr. Smith, from the 'month of 'April, 1844, to Christmas,
and which amounted in the aggregate to 28/. Bs. Oya.,
and said, that coupling this with the circumstances men-
tioned by the last witness, there was a strong presump-
tion that the deceased had been under the impre.sion
that this amount was still owing by Mr. Smi:h, and in
confirmation of this opinion he pointed out the exact
amount, 26/. Bs. Old., written by the deceased in the
margin of the ledger.
Mr. HENRY. would leave the case to be submitted to
the grand jury, if th• prosecuting party should think
proper to send a bill of indictment before them. For
his own part, he did not think the case sufficiently made
out or strong enough to send it before a petty jury. It was
his duty not to send a ease for trial unless he saw acme
reasonable. grounds for a conviction, and as he did not
see any chance for a conviction in the present case, and
as it was, in fact, doubtful whether a judge would have
let the case go to a jury at all, he should discharge'the
prisoner.
The prisoner, on leaving the dock, was joined by a
crowd, of friends, who had previously thronged the
Court, aid who upon hearing of the determination ofthe
magistrate, gave way to some exultation.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, March 25.
The Commission for the county of Surrey was opened
on Monday, and this morning both Courts sat for the
dispatch of business, Lord Chief Justice Denman pre-
siding on the civil side, and Mr. Baron Alderson in the
Crown court. Altho gh there was a good delivery at
the sessions last week, there are thirty-fire prisoners for
trial at these assizes. On the civil side fifty-nine
causes arc entered, and six of them are to be tried by
special juries.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
Davy Tanner, alias William Stenip, 26, Jemes Haines,
23, Thomas Lonyky, 22, Matthew Hill, 43, and Thomas
Adams, 28, were indicted for a misdemeanor, in, being
unlawfully upon certain lands in the occupation of John
Sparkes, at Wonersh, in the night time, armed with guns,
and other offensive weapons, in pursuit of game.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson with Mr.
Charnock, defended all the prisoners, except Tanner,
who had no counsel.
It appeared from the evidence of a man named Hoar,
who is in the service of Mr. Sparkes, the prosecutor,
that on the night of the 17th December he heard the
sound of fire-arms in a wood at Wonersh, called Jay's
Copse, and while he was going in the direction from
whence the firing appeared to proceed, he heard the re-
ports of two guns, and at the same moment there was a
rush made in the wood, and he saw five men come out
into a field, two of them being armed with guns. He
followed them for some distance, and at length went
close to the men, and he then discovered that they were
the prisoners, all of whom were inhabitants of the
neighbourhood, and with whose persons he was well ac-
quainted. Upon the Copse—being examined on the fol-
lowing morning, a quantity of pheasant's feathers and
some fresh blood were found upon the ground.
The jury found the prisoners I:uilty, but recommended
them to mercy on the ground that they had not used
any violence toward; the keeper.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that this was always a
circumstance favourable to the accused in cases of this
description ; but such offences were of so dangerous a
character, and so frequently led to the shedding of
blood, that it was impossible to pass them over without
such punishment being inflicted as would be likely to
deter others from their commission. He then sentenced
Langley, Tanner, Haines, and Hill, who have already
been in gaol for three months, to be kept to hard labour
for a further period of six months; and Adams, who had
been out on bail, was sentenced to nine mouths' hard
labour.

SERIOUS AND EXTXNSIVE DEPREDATIONS.—Six
young labouring men, named Taylor, Hawes, Shepherd,
Sibley, Morel!, and Dewhins„ were placed at the bar
before Mr. Broughton, charged, in conjunction with .a
man named Richard Angle, the foreman at Dixon's horse
repository in Barbican, with having stolen a large quan-
tity of meadow hay and clover, the property of the em-
ployer of the last-named prisoner, and Mr. Will:an:
Banhes, a corn-chandler in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, was
charged with having feloniously received possession of
the stolen property.
Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended to conduct the
prosecution ; Mr. Hunt appeared for the prisoner Bankes,
and. Mr. Vann on behalf of the other prisoners.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. William Larman,
an extensive haydealer at Enfield, that on Thursday
morning last the six first-named prisoners, who were in
his service as carmen, were dispatched to town in charge
of eleven loads of hay, clover, and saintfoin, which Here
consigned to Mr. Sineaton, a salesman in Whitechapel
market, to be disposed of. On the same afternoon,
eight of the loads were purchased by Mr. Dixon, to
whose premises in Barbican the prisoners were sent
to deliver them. Shortly after they had left the
witness, who had followed them to town to super-
intend the sale, received information that the pri-
soners had diverged considerably out of their direct
road to Barbican, and had called and left a quan-
tity of hay at the house of the prisoner Bankes,
in Brick- lane, to which he accordingly proceeded, and
found one of his carts standing in front of the door.
The prisoner Morell had charge of the cart ; and on ac-
cusing him of being there for a dishonest purpose, he
admitted, after some hesitation, that the prisoner Bankes
had received from each of them a truss of hay, w hich he
bad deposited in his shop. Bankes, who was standing at
his shop door at the time, on hearing this confession,
precipitately retreated into a back nom, and on entering
the shop witness observed ten trusses of hay, which he
felt satisfied were his property, and accordingly insisted
upon seeing Bankes, who soon after emerged from the
back parlour ; and on being accused of having received
the stolen property, at first faintly denied it, but ulti-
mately acknowledged having received it from bis men,
and begged him to look over the matter. Witness then
sent for Taylor, the keeper of Whitechapel market, who
on arriving, asked Bankes if he hed not also purchased
some clover, which he positively denied having dime, but
1.11 being closely pressed, he at length unlocked the dour
of a room at the back pert of the shop, and pointed out
two trusses of clover, which he admitted having bought
of the prisoners. He was then taken into custody, and
the officer went in search of the rest of the prisoners,
whom he found in a state of partial intoxication, and also
apprehended.
Taylor, the market-keeper, said that on taking
the youngest of the prisoners (Dawkins) into custody,
he •expressed extreme contrition for his conduct, and
declared that he bad been drawn into the robbery be,
thei.other prisoners, in conjunction with whom he con-
tested having. committed another robbery about two
months previously, when he had a cart-load of clover t
deliVer at Mr. Dixon's, three trus. es of which he kept
back and sold to the prisoner Bankes. For that trans-
action he received is. Gd , 4s. of which he handed over
to the prisoner Angle, whose duty it was to see the
clover properly delivered at the repository. The pri-
soner then entered into a detail of the robbery com-
mitted on Thursday last, and stated that the foreman,
Angle, at that time also received a considerable share of
the produce after the bay had been delivered at hie
master's premises.
James and Henry Overnell, two lads about fifteen or
sixteen years of age, proved that they accompanied the
prisoners when they conveyed the hay to the repository,
and that they saw six of the trusses left at the premises
of_ the prisoner Bankes, who gave at the rate of 2s. each
for them.
Alfred Seares, the clerk at the Repository, proved
that, on the day in question, Angle, whose duty it was
to see all the fodder correctly delivered, brought him two
written veuehers to that effect, and received in return
two receipt notes fur the full quantity.
On being called upon for their defence, the prisoners,
by the advice of their solicitors, deelined saying anything
at present.
Mr. Humphries, for the prosecution, then said that
a widely-ramified system of plunder had been carried on
for a considerable length of time, and he must request
the magistrate to remand the prisoners, in order that he
might be enabled to complete the case against them.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that it was Inelaneholy to see
such a number of men, hi lding comfortable and respon-
sible situations, engaged in such a wholesale system .of
robbery upon their employers, and in which also nearly
all the witnesses were proved to be more
.or less impli-
eated ; but, as the case had been clearly established, he
should direct the depositions to be taken down as far as
they went, and order the prisoners to be brought up
again next week for their completion.
CLERKENIVELL.

Two men named Amos and Josephs were fined ss.
each, or seven days' imprisonment, for setting two dugs
to fight in St. John-street, at use o'clock on the previous
evening.
Thomas Harvy was charged with an assault of a very
savage nature on the landlord of the Red Lion public-
house, Warner-street, Clerkenvvell.
The prisoner became exceedingly insolent to the land-
lady, upon which the landlord told him to go out ; he
refused, and the landL;rd with great violence strove to
eject him, the landlady likewise attacking the prisoner,
who, in defence, sei2e2d a quart pot, and struck the com-
plainant on the head with it.
The prisoner was fined 55., or five days' imprisonment.
SOUTH WA RK.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Salis, a furrier, living
in Webber-street, Waterloo-road, was brought before
Mr. Traill, charged with exercising great cruelty to a
horse. . . . .

Police-sergeant 19 M, said, that about one o'clock this
morning he saw the prisoner driving a horse and cart
in the Kent-road, with upwards of ten persons in the
latter. He was beating the horse in a cruel manner,
with the butt-end of a large whip. The load was so
heavy that it was impossible for the animal to draw the
cart: He was compelled to take the prisoner into cus-
tody, owing to his repeating his cruel treatment to the
horse. _ _

prisoner said that after the omnibuses had left
ff running from Greenwich Fair, he took up a few
passengers, and was driving them towards the Llephant
and Castle at an easy rate, when the officer stopped the
horse. He was compelled to use the whip to make • the
animal go on again.
Mr. TRAILL said it was quite clear that he had ill-
used. the animal in a cruel manner; he should therefore
fine him 20s. for that offence. lie directed Inspector
Froud to give information to the Excise respecting his
plying fur hire without a licence, as he deserved to be
punished.

It is rumoured that Sir Watkin W. Wynn, Bart.,
will be the Lord-Lieutenant of Flintshire, in the room of
the late Marquis of Westminster.
SCARCITY OF VEGETABLES.—Within the last three
weeks there has been experienced a greater scarcity of
vegetables in the London markets, than has been known
to have been the case for the last nine years past. This
circumstance has arisen from the severe frosts, which,
until within the last three days, has continued for up-
ward of three weeks. Parsnips which were being re-
tailed at this season last year, at from one penny to
three halfpence a piece, are now selling at from twopence
to fourpence. Carrots are proportionably dear, whilst
turnips scarcely fit for use, are being sold at sixpence
bunch. Greens of all kinds are excessively scarce, and
very indifferent samples are selling at high prices.
Savoys, which at Christmas night be obtained at one
penny each, are now fetching fourpence, whilst brocoli'
sprouts and other coleivorta are completely dried up by
the late frosts.

NOVELTIES, INVENTIONS, AND
CHANGES.
The rage for novelty is the pervading passion of all
classes of Londoners. They are the most exigeant
people in the world in this respect, and the inventive
faculties of our artists, manufacturers, and crafts
men must be sorely taxed to find the wherewithal
to gratify this restless entichement. The fair and
graceful denizens of Mayfair, the "travelled
beaux" who throng the stately salons of Holder-
ness House,- or Devonshire House, the fat
and greasy citizens, and the plodding tradesman
who drives hebdomadally in his gaudy phaeton
to his cottage, with a double coach-house on Claphatii-
common, are one and all equally affected by this de:
sire. If novelty can be combined with utility,
Cant rnieux, but if not, the mass of useless frivolities,
which are to be found in our shop windows, bear
ample evidence of the facility N 1 ith which this taste
may be gratified.
Some graceful novelty, which is invariably com-
bined with utility and elegance, is always to be found
at that vast establishment in Regent-street, near to
the Quadrant, which is occuped by Messrs. Nicoll.
The inventive powers of the artist who presides over
this temple of fashiGn are always at work. The rami-
fications of his far-spreading fame extend into every
capital of Europe. The gorgeous East is ransacked
to furnish the costly materials for the rich waistcoats
which are laid out in such sumptuous profusion on his
counters, and the magnificence of his numerous robes
de chanbre is also the object of general attention. He
has recently introduced a new species of coat, which is
called his " Registered Paletot," and after much
trouble, and a considerable display of ingenuity, he
has succeeded in constructing a garment which will
be equally available for the equestrian or pedestrian.
England is undoubtedly burthened with no great
debt of gratitude to her sapient legislators, but
amongst the few good " Acts" which they have re-
cently passed is one which empowers inventors to
,ap-
`propriate to. thernAtlycs, during the space of three
years, the profits arising from the "sale 'of the invented
article, and this will fortunately enable Mr. Nicoll
to derive some benefit from his ingenuity. The ma-
terial from which these garments are " built," is
woven from the wool of the llama, and is of a pecu-
liarly soft and silken description. The application of
the various substances which are used as linings, will
render this paletot suitable for either summer or win-
ter wear. • _

In Edward-street, Portman-square, there dwells a
Schneider, hight Wilson, who has conceived the
happy idea of lining coats and sailing jackets with air
bags filled with blow-pipes. If the wearer find him-
. Self in any unpleasant predicament which involves the
possibility of his being suddenly immersed in gurgite
vasto, he can instantly inflate himself up to such a
buoyancy, that nothing but a cork could compete
with hind; and after having puffed himself up like
-thelfogin the fable, he, turns a small screw to keep
him in wind," and can then calmly and philosophi-
cally await the impending danger in all the airtight
consciousness of security. " Every man his own
Humane Society" seems to be Mr. Wilson's motto ;
rowers who avail themselves of his invention may
venture forth in frail wager-boats without having be-
fore their eyes the dread of all that—
" horrid apparatus •
By which folks are unsuffocated gratis."
And the security afforded by these sailing jackets
will he no inconsiderable addition to the pleasures of
yachting. These air-bags may be fitted into any coat
fora comparatively trifling sum. It has been hitherto
said that drowning men catch at straws, but if any
man on board a sinking boat were discovered to pos-
sess one of these life-preserving garments, his fellow-
passengers would find something more substantial to
" catch at " than a mere morceau de paille.
The numerous washes and cosmetics with which
the faded beauties of former days vainly sought
to restore the charms of their youth, were laid
aside simultaneously with patches, hoop petti-
coats, &c. They were shot down by the
fire of Pope and Swift's satirical artillery. But
the teeth and hair are, unfortunately, subject
to many of those ills which flesh is heir to, and
the whole civilised world bears testimony to the effi-
cacy and restorative power in several of Messrs. Row-
land's inventions. It were vain to speak of their
Kalydor or Odordo, since the whole periodical press
teems with their praisea. The best proof of their
real excellence is to be found in the numerous imita-
tions of these articles, which renders extreme caution
necessary ; others ise, the unwary purchaser will he
duped, and find his toilette table covered with useless,
and, perhaps, ifljurious compounds. In Paris, how-
ever, the ladies are not content with these adjuncts to
beauty. They pace but little reliance in the power
of those charms w hich the Arab chiefs lately declared
had put the sun out of countenance. They call in
the aid of all those artificial adornments of jewellery
and bijouterie with which M. Piot tempts his fair cus-
tomers. 'What numbers of coroneted carriages now
" stop the way" on the broad and noble Boulevard
des Italiens, at the establishment which he has re-
cently opened near to the Opera Comique ! The se-
lection of jewellery which English ladies have
brought to this country from M. Piot's shop, speaks
volumes in favour of his taste, judgment, and work-
manship. Whatever be the epithets which M. Thiers
may to England, M. Piot has as-
sur thinkedlyno rightfit to apply
totatk-atiout " perfide Albion," for
the natives of our isle flock in large numbers to the
establishment, and do not allow a day to elapse after
their arrival in Paris without making extensive
emplettes.— Post.

INVERNESS AND ELGIN RAILWAY--We are au-
thorised to state that, on the appearance of the prospec-
tus of this undertaking in the No. th llrissh AdverCser
of Saturday last, applications were made that day, in
Edinburgh alone, through the agents. and shareholders
there, for an amount of shares considerably beyond the
proposed capital of 3,000,000 L Monday and yesterday,
on its being announced in Inverness that the prospectus
had been issued, shares were applied for by parties resi-
dent here to a very large amount, and the sales in the
eastern burghs have been equally rapid and successful.
disappointment, as much as possible, our
north, who wish to engage in the under-
o
not to lose a day in making application.—

REVELATIONS or SPAIN IN 1845.—This work is
calculated to, excite extraordinary attention. As a
picture of the actual state of Spain, and as a collection
of facts relating to persons and events which form the
theme of daily conversation in society, it is intensely in-
teresting. Espartero, Narvaez, Olozaga, Isabella, Chris-
tina, are brought upon the scene with all the freedom of
history, th. it characters delineated, their actions
examined, their motives scrutinised, and their policy de-
veloped. There is also much valuable information upon
the subject of parties, the Camarillas, party leaders, the
Spanish army, the Church, the secular clergy, agricul-
ture, onlnoontie commerce, and national manners.
w e
too strongly recommend the work to the
ccatsowe,

FIRES.—Monday night, shortly before midnight, a
fire broke out on the premises in the occupation of Mr.
R. Hurst, trimming manufacturer, 10, Quaker-street,
Spitalfields. The building in" which the outbreak oc-
curred is a substantial erection situate next door to the
Castle public-house. Flames were first perceived issu-
ing from the Windows of one of the lower floors under-
neath the workshops by police-constable Wright, "52 H.
He instantly gave the alarm, and the family escaped
from the burning building. Information of the outbreak
was immediately forwarded to Mr. Braidwood, at the
Watling-street station, and in a short space of time
engines from Watling-street, Jeffery-square, White-
cross-street, and other stations of the brigade, were upon
the spot. For some time, although a plentiful supply of
water was furnished to the engine belonging to Messrs.
Truman and Hanbury's establishment, which was first at
the fire, the fli4mes continued to progress, and it was
Vk ith difficulty that the fire was got under, and pi evented
from extending to the adjoining buildings. How it
originated could not be ascertained. Before the above
Pre was extinguished information was received by the
firemen that anether outbreak had occurred upon the
premises occupied by Mr. Freeman, furniture broker,
Crombie's-row, Commercial-road East. A valuable
stock was principally destroyed by fire and water. Cause
of occurrence unexplained. Insurance unknown.
MANCIIESTER.—The corporation have completed
negotiations with Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart, for the pur-
chase of the manorial rights of the town, which are esti-
mated to be worth 218,7551. The average proceeds for
the last few years have been 9,2141. 16s. Bd., arising
from tolls, properties, &c. The council, after mature
deliberation, have agreed to pay Sir Oswald Mosley the
sum of 200,0001. for the whole of his manorial rights and
properties, and to mortgage them for the interest of the
amount, which is to be paid at the rate of 31- per cent.
per,annum. They have also agreed to pay off the prin-
cipal by instalments of not less than 4,0001, and of not
more than 6,0001. per annum. By this arrangement it
is calculated that the tolls, chief rents, &c., will realise
1,0001. a year more than the sum required to pay the
interest, _ _

Mr. Stephenson, private secretary to Sir Robert
Peel, has been appointed messenger to the Order of the
Bath, vacant by the retirement of Mr. Pulman. The
more proper designation of the office would be that of
Plogirvf-getteral and treasurer to the Order.—Observer
ARRIVAL OF PART OF THE WINDBOUND FLEET.—
During Monday the Thames, below London-bridge,
had an animated and bustling appearance, in conse-
quence of the arrival of upwards of thirty sail of vessels
laden with valuable cargoes, that had been detained in
the chops of the Channels, some of them nearly three
weeks, by the 'late north-easterly winds. Among the
arrivals were—from China, 3; Calcutta, 3; Ceylon, 1;
Mauritius, 1; Demerara, 1; Antigua, 1; Alexandria, 1;
Odessa, 1; Villa Nova, 1; Lisbon, 1; St. Michael's, 4;
Cadiz, 3 ; Gibraltar, 2 ; Marseilles, 1; Terceira, 2.
Numerous other vessels from foreign ports having
arrived too late to get docked yesterday afternoon,
anchored. in various parts of the river above the Nore.
The present influx of shipping will occasion considerable
bustle and activity at the Custom-house and in the re-
spective docks, where employment will be given to hun-
dreds of poor labourers.
INHERITANCE EXTRAORDINARY. --- A butcher At
Nottingham has succeeded to a fortune, variously esti-
