SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.
LIVEItrOOL, Wh3lizsna.v.—This day a numerous and
highly respectable. meeting of the Liberal electors of Liver-
pool was held 'in the large room, Eastwood's Hotel. The
parties present evinced the greatest enthusiasm in the-cause.
Many ()flaw gentleinen who have taken a leading part in the
advocacy of free trade principles were present: Amongst
them wei noticed : ' '
H. Hotme, Esq., Thomas Blackburne, Esq., J. H. Greene,
Esq., J. D. Thornely, Esq., J. B. Cooke, Esq., W. Jerome,
Esq., W. M'Kee, F.-sq., -S. Thornely, Esq., • J. Todd, Esq.,
J. Smith, Esq., T. S. Raffles, Esq., James Riley, Esq., E.
Pitcher, 'sq., W. Thornhill, Esq., W. Ronald, Esq., W.
Blair, E ~ E. Baines, Esq., Thomas. Harvey, Esq., R. Shell,
Esq., J. . Barclay, Esq., James Aikin, Esq., Thomas Robin-
son, Esq Thomas Jervis, Esq., W. Rathbone, Esq., R. E.
Harvey, iEsq., Joseph Mason, Esq., C. Rawdon, Esq., C. E.
Rawlins; jun., Esq., J. F. Crook, Esq., E. S. Bulley, Esq.,
J. King,lEsq., Colonel Williams, &c. &c.
Robert Ellison Harvey, Esq.; was unanimously called upon
to presid , amidst loud cheering.
The ITAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he
believed they were all aware of what had taken
place with respect to the fbrthcoming election. The news-
papers had pretty correctly reported everything that had
occurred, and he had only to state that Mr. Brown was
now in the house, and would have great pleasure in addres-
sing Went by-and-bye if they_wished it, but in the meantime
Mr. Rathbone would move a resolution which he (the
1 Chairman) hoped would meet their approbation. There
might be gentlemen present who 'had some slight differences
of opinion with Mr. Brown on political questions, but he
hoped these would all be merged—the absorbing question of
the present day being the free trade question.—(Loud ap-
plause.) With respect to Mr. Brown's opinion upon that
subject there could not 'be by possibility any mistake. He
went as far as most of them on that subject. In all minor
differences of politics they waived a shade or two, and adopted
the principles of free trade as their present popular cry.
Mr. RitTrIBONE said the resolution he had to move was as
follows :-!-- ' That this meeting highly approves of the choice
made of W. Brown, Esq., as the candidate for the southern
division iof Lancashire, and it pledges itself to secure his
triumphant return to the House of Commons. —(Applause.)
He was sure he need not say much to induce them to give
their hearty concurrence to that motion, not merely with
their cheers, but' with their votes and services on the present
occasion: He conceived this to be one of the greatest
struggle 4 they ever had in this county, for it affected not only
the county, but the .public generally.—(Applause.) They
were going on .very correctly : they said a free trade candiL
date shoOld be a Liberal, such as Mr. Brown was on -all other
important points. which they ought to see well represented in
Lancash re. It was to the, disgrace of Lancashire that it
had been badly - represented by persons who knew no-
thing e ther of commerce or' manufactures. Lancashire
ought to have la commercial and manufacturing man to re-
present it.—(Applause.) It-was high time that they. should
t
redeem emselves from that degradation into which they
had bee too long. cast—not rolling to this side and to that
side, bu uniting in one strenuous and firm struggle to main-
tain the* rights—not splitting hairs. The bark is on the
rock, and which of the sailors would think of this side or of
that sidet. Let us (said he) pull her off the rock; not talk
of-this saffrage and the other suffrage, and this twaddlement
and the Other twaddlement. LetuA struggle to put Mr. Brown
into his post, and then we will talk -of other matters.
Mr. Ttionas BruicicutniN seconded the resolution.
Mr. RATIMONE -wished just to say that the suggestion,
that Mrt Brown should be put in nomination, came from
Manchester. That showed' how little jealousy there was on
the part, of the -Manchester gentlemen, and he hoped they
t would s ow how they felt' such liberal conduct towards
them.— Applause.) - '
The C TAIRMAN then put the question, and • it was carried
unanimOnsly. . • • • • - -
Willi*ri Brown, Esq., was then introduced to the meeting
amidst leud Cheers and 'clapping of' hands. As soon as this
1, had ,subsided, •

The girmirmAx, addressing him, said he would read to
him theTesolution which had just been passed unanimously
by the Meeting, and at the same time he'must congratulate
him that there was so numerous and zealous a meeting there
that day, -

--isirfit - . ovt.N then addressed the meeting as follows :
Gentlembn—l cannot help feeling highly gratified at the
very distinguished honour you have done me by the warm
reception you have given me. I had the pleasure of knowing
your late representative, the Hon. Bootle Wilbraham—a gen-
tleman with whose friends and connections I most sincerely
sympathise—a gentleman whose amiable and accanplished
manners endeared him to all by whofn he was known ; and,
indeed, it was only -necessary to have that knowledge to
respectlhim.—{Hear, hear.) This melancholy- event, .gentle-
position in which I now stand, as
a candidate before Sion, .
for the- honour of representing- you
men, hag placed ale in the

gentlemen
I may attribute. it to my vanity or my ambition, if you
'lease, th• to both, I could not resist the temptation in their
Hnfer such-an honoor upon me.—(Greatcheering.)
. __,,

" .-i
I would much wises, 15..» nce you have launched
able advocate of your comfit; ; -ow, .:.. : rest assured,
me upon the troubled sea of politics, you -to., ' draw
that havingput my hands to the 000, I will nob -- .
baCk.—(Great cheering.) dentletrieu, I stand before you as
in instrument to accomplish what we had .all at load—
free ttade.—(Applause.) What is free trade ? .It id " an
exchange of equivalents mutually advantageous to both
arties."—(Hear, hear.) But let us look to the reverse.
Let us. look at an hossile: tariff between countries which
might exchange • their 'commodities with each other .with
advantage to both parties. Why, it engenders jealous
and hostile feelings ; it may lead, and frequently does
lead, to a spark creating war.—(Hear, hear.) And what is
the consequence, gentlemen?, -Taxation.—(Hear.) That
is the cousequence—(Cheers)—taxes, which are a just punish-
ment for our folly.—(ltenewed cheering.) War begets taxes ;
taxes beget debt; debt begets restrictions.—(Hear, hear.)
These are the blessings arising from these commercial mis-
understandings which unfortunately exist between nations.
—(llear, hear, and, cheers.) Our opponents contend, gentle-
men, that the landed interest bear an undue proportion of
these
o taxes.l look upon it, however, in a very. different
point
view. If any of you gentlemen, were going to buy
an estate, what is the first'.thing you would c 1 o ? You would •
first endeavour to ascertain the gross rental of that estate;
the next thing would he the •
poor' s-rate, tithes, highway
rates, land-tax ;and such other charges as may be looked
upon in the character ofpermanent
schoolboy would .tell you that mortgages; and any
you buy not the gross, but the
nett rental.—(Hear, mar.) I cannot conceive in what other
point of view the owner of an estate stands who holds it by
inheritance; and I am greatly surprised the landed interest
are not aware of the, iucalculable, advantages which com-
merce has conferred upon them.—(Hear, hear.) Look, for
instance, at:the condition of the southern district of I.au-
Cashire. About the year 1784, when the irst bag of cotton
was "iinported, .the population dependent' upon agriculture
was 52,000, the whole population of Lancashire being about
300 000 In 1800 it had risen to 600,000, and at this time it
, •
is 1,600,000.--7(Hear, -hear.) . I am sure there is not au indi-
vidual who hears me, or.who will read what I say, . but will
say that increase has conferred sandestimable benefit upon
is astonishing that
the landed proprietors--(Hear)—it .
they have not foresight to see
_that by continuing this pros-
Gre
perity they continue the support of their rent ro s.— a
cheering.) It is contended also, by our opponents,ll
that t
we
have been prosperous in consequence of our restrictive mea-
sures. I know we have been prosperous, hut it lids been in spite
, of them.—(Cheers.) They lose sight of the fact that Europe
and America are now at peace—(Hear)—they lose sight of
the fact that both are prospering, and to a certain extent

very successful rivals in other markets of the world in the
manufactures which they now make.—(Hear, hear.) We
certainly had advantages during the long wars which existed
upon the Continent from the security of person and property
which they did not there enjoy, for it enabled us to make
great progress in arts and manufactures, and such advantages
we might now retain if we could only liberalise our commer-
cial policy.—(Great cheers.) Indeed, with a liberal commer-
cial policy I cannot see that landlords have anything to fear
from competition with any other country in the world.—
(Hear.) Give us that, and we can clothe the world.—(Much
apblause.) 'We talk of ether countries leaguing against us
in hostile tariffs ; but let us examine the matter fairly—let us
take the United States, with which I am better acquainted
than any other country. I have now in my possession some
statistics of that country, which inform me that the average
duties now laid upon her imports from us are 33i per cent.
The duties we lay upon her imports from there are 52i per
cent.; but if we exclude cotton, which the southern district
of this county could not do very well without, then other
duties against her are 330 per cent.—(Hear, hear.) By the
late tariff of Sir Robert Peel they are hardly so high-260
per cent.; and this is " reciprocity," 33i per cent. against 260
per cent.—(Cheers and great applause) Upon this head 1
will be very brief, bat I cannot refrain from laving before you
the sentiments of one of the ablest men that this country ever
knew, a man whose abilities were acknowledged by those
who differed with him in their day, and history will do him
justice—a man who was well qualified to wield the destinies
of this or any other nation—l mean the great
Lord Chatham.--(Great cheers.) Lord Chatham says :
" Ido not despair of my country, and I nave no objection
to state what, in my opinion, would restore the kingdom to
its once flourishing condition. Give freedom to commerce,
and lighten the pressure of taxation, and you will have no
complaining in your streets. As commerce is always a
change of equivalents, a nation that will not buy cannot
sell ; and every restriction upon import is an obstacle to ex•
putt. On -the other hand, the more we admit the produc-
tions of foreign countries, the more extensive becomes their
demand for-our commodities. Let the absurd system of our
corn-laws be, gradually and cautiously abolished, and allow
the cheap 'agricultural produce of the north of Europe, 'and
of the continents of America and Africa, to be freely intro-
duced, and•we shall Obtain an unlimited vent for our manu-
factures. A rigid and efficient system of retrenchment allow-
ing us to take off the taxes upon salt, upon soap, upon
leather, upon iron, and a few other articles of subsistence,
our advantages, from position, from coal mines, and from the,
skill and energy of out people, are so considerable, that, were
it not for unwise laws and overstrained taxation, Britain,
f6r ages to come, might continue to be the great workshop
of the world." So thought the great Lord Chatham eighty
years ago ; and to think- I now.---(Renewed cheers.) Be'ore
concluding what I have to say to you upon this subject, pro-
bably I should tell you that the manufacturing interests of
the United States are now enabled to produce to the extent
of 250 millions of dollars per annum.—( Hear, hear.) At
one period our exports to that country rose as high as 50
millions of dollars; at present,' although there is a greatly
increased population in that country, our exports are little
more than half.—(Hear, hear.) That, gentlemen, is the
result of our protective laws.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen,
a very able writer has pictured to any mind the beau ideal
of the British •Conititution. The great Lord Bolingbroke
says that a system of laws, customs, and usages derived
from the same rixed principles of reason, ' directed to the
same known object of public good, by which a free and
enlightened people agree to be governed, is, in his esti-
mation, what we are favoured with. That that may be
accomplished under a mixed monarchy, such as we have.
with its checks and balances, I firmly believe ; and I
trust such a Government will always continue to exist
in this country for the benefit of all classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects, and the country itself.—(Loud cheers.)
But, gentlemen, in all human institutions lapse of time
and changes in circumstances may make emendations and
alterations and new enactments necessary; and should it
be your pleasure that I should be your representative in Par-
liament, I should be very happy to lend my best aid in ac-
complishing those desirable ends.—(Hear, hear.) The poor-
laws have existed fitim the reign of Elizabeth; and of late
great changes have taken 'place•in them ; 'but in avoiding one
difficulty we have fallen into another.—(Hear, hear.) The
present poor-laws are, I am afraid, a great deal too stringent
and severe.—(Hear, hear.) While I would protect the podr
upon the one hand from oppression and hardship, upon the
other, I would endeavour to prevent:the public from being
impesed upon 'by idleness and dissipation.—(Hear, hear.)
From what I have just said upon the subject of free trade, it
is not necessary, Gentlemen, that I should say more than.
that I repudiate all protective duties, and all retaliatory du-
ties whatever.—(Great' cheers.) But I wish to be clearly
understood upon one point, upon which, in. my address,
am afraid I have not been sufficiently explicit. I do not
object to duties to meet the exigencies of the State, so far as
they can be laid with advantage to the countrv.—(Hear,
hear.) lam an economist, so far as it is practicable to carry
that principle out—so far as it is consistent with the raising
of a revenue essential to maintain the country in the position
it holds among the most powerful monarchies in the world ;
but I never would be a party to placing her in such a situa-
tion that we should lose caste among the nations of the earth.
—(Hear, hear.) I am, however, a strong advocate for main-
taining peace ; and I would maintain peace upon any terms
short of national dishonour.—(Great cheers.) I have now to
ask you; Gentlemen, as a personal favour to myself, that
throughout this contest we shall reason with our opponents
with the utmost good humour--(Hear, hear)—that we
should never mind their smiles or remarks, or anything else
they may say against us, but treat them always as friends
and gentlemen.—(Cheers.) It has just been suggested to
me that my character is not understood in the world. I am,
GentlemCn, a member of the Established Church, and cer-
tainly no act of mine shall disturb those laws which preserve
the Church in its present state.—(Hear, hear,) lam not a
Unitarian, though I should not consider it a degradation to
be so,- I assure ;you ;"nor am I Catholic.—(Cheers.) Mr.
Brown then apologised for. the imperfections of his manner of
speaking, reminding the electors that they were only just
beginning to drill him into a speaker. and concluded by
thanking the meeting for the honour conferred upon him.
The CHAIRMAN said they seemed all to be satisfied with
Mr. Brown, and his declaration on free trade he thought
would satisfy every free trader ; but in order to carry out
their good intentions, it would be necessary to appoint a
Committee to conduct the election.
Mr. BLAL.x wished to put a question to Mr. Brown. Would
he support the income-tax or vote against it ?
Mr. BROWN said he considered the income-tax inquisitorial,
and would lie glad to see it abolished.—(Applause.) He
would continue the property-tax, provided it would remove
or cause some of the other taxes to bear lightly upon them.
The Government must have money, and he would take it in
a way the least objectionable.—(Hear,)
Mr. JAcons inquired whether, if Mr. Brown, as the friend
of civil and religious liborty, were returned for the county, he
would, on the question coming forward, vote for the emanci-
pation of the Jews ?
Mr. BROWN—I would.—(Applause.)
Mr. JACOBS said he wished to remark that the Jews, in
wishing to be emancipated, had only the desire to be of more
use to their fellow-countrymen. They, were now eligible
to various civil offices, and he hoped that whenever they
obtained their proper position in the land, the first principle
that would actuate' them would be not to oppress the or-
phan, and that free trade in all things would civilise the
globe. •
A Committee was then appointed to conduct the election.
After a few words from Colonel WILLIAMS,

Mr'. RATHBONE rose and said, I have a confidential commu-
nication to make. I .hear that we shall please Sir Robert
Peel as well by electing Mr. Brown as by electing Mr. Ent-
wistle.(Cheers, and hear, hear.)
Three cheers were then given for Mr. Brown, and the pro-
ceedings, which were characterised by unanimity and ehthu-
siasm throughout, terminate I.

EPIDEMIC AMONG TUE LONDON CLOCKS. —We
heard from several' quarters of the metropolis that the extra-
ordinary malady which so long afflicted the clock of St.
Clement's, has extended to several others of the church
dials of London. 'An East-end clock, whose name we are in '
p9ssession of—a clock that has for some years occupied a
,high position in the City, in fact, Shoreditch—has, we re-
gret to say, been seized with the same distressing symptoms
as those from which St. Clement's clock is still slowly re-
covering. • The unhappy dial has lost the use of both hands,
and gives every indication of falling into a state of hopeless
derangement. Many of the neighbours have for some time
suspected' it was "not quite right," and we are sorry. to say
that their worst fears are now confirmed. It was painful to
observe the anxiety with which several persons who appeared
most interested in its fate, remained with their eyes fixed on
its face, in the hope of even the slightest change, but all in
vain. The unfortunate patient, however, gave no other in-
dicatiOn of its time having come, and no one who looked at
it could; for one moment, have supposed that it was going.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCISE, May 16.
Before HART DAVIS, Esq., Chairman, and Commissioners

STErnExso.m and HERRIES.)

IMPORTANT TO SNUFF TAKERS.-WHOLESALE ADULTE-

RATION,

Mr. William Wainwright, of No. 58, Fore-street, Moorgate,
tobacconist and billard table keeper, was charged:with adul-
terating snuff, and having adulterating matter in his posses-
pion. There were four counts in the information, varying the
offence, and laying the penalty in each count at 2001. A
fifth count charged the defendant with having tobacco in a
room not entered, subjecting him to a penalty of 100/.
Mr. Davis, a Custom-house officer, stated that, in conse-
quence of the increase of Chinsura cheroots at the various
tobacconists in London, and the fact that only two chests had
paid duty in the port of London for the last ten years, the
officers were looking sharp after them. On the 29th of De-
cember witness, accompanied by Crawford and Reed, two
other Custom-house officers, visited the defendant's premises,
and discovered a box full of the much-esteemed Chinsuras
in the back parlour. During the search witness discovered a
large box of snuff, as also a sieve filled with the same ; he
tasted the contents, and finding them so grossly adulterated,
he examined several of the jars in the shop and seized them.
The shopwoman told witness it was all brown rappee.—
(Laughter.) Witness then proceeded to search the house,
and took up some of the flooring in the billiard-room. He
broke open a cupboard, where he found bottles, glasses,
Measures, some bottles of port, sherry, and champagne, and
about thirty dozens of stout. There were cupboards on every
'floor filled with stout; containing altogether about eighty
dozens. Witness,only seized the spirits, cheroots, and snuff.
The defendant said he could show invoices for ie cheroots,
and produced one in which lie had introduced the word
"Chinsura ;" they were charged at 7s. 6d. per lb. The duty
on Chinsura cheroots was 9s. per lb. and 51. per cent. The
defendant told witness lie had introduced the word to cover
the goods, as there had been such a disturbance in town
about them.

Messrs. Reed and Crawford, Customhouse officers, fully
corroborated the last witness. _ _

Mr. George Phillips, professor of chemistry, deposed that
be had tested the article seized. The stuff in the box was a
powder closely resembling brown rappee, but did not contain
a particle of tobacco ; it consisted of 73 5-10ths of vegetable
matter, and 26 5-10ths of common salt and earthy matter.
The contents of the jars were adulterated with earth, sand,
potash, and salt, and the net adulteration was 22 1-6th per
cent.. The witness handed a sample out of the box to the
Commissioners, which did not contain a particle of tobacco,
but had the appearance of brown rappee.
A solicitor addressed the Court in defence, and contended
that Mr. Wainwright sold the articles as he purchased them,
and never mixed his snuff.

Caroline Selby, shopwoman, swore that the defendant
never mixed his snuffs, and that they purchased them of Mr.
Victor, of Holborn. She had sold a little of the "Gillespie."

CnAtumAN—ls that the article with no tobacco in it ?--
(Laughter.)
The witness did not answer the question. Victor had
called several times since the seizure ; but he did not appear
to come about it. He said he had nothing to lose.
Mr. MAYnEvv—Did you ever sell that trash for snuff ?
Witness—We sold a small quantity of it, and then put it
aside, as we found out it was not good.—(Laughter.)
The Court said it was a very bad case, and fined the defen-
dant 1001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr. Thomas, the extensive newsvender and publisher,
of Finch-lane, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, to an-
swer a complaint made by the Society for the Sup-
pression of Vice, of which Society Lord Teignmouth was
stated to be the chairman. Upon a former occasion, a
gentleman belonging to the Bank of England made a
representation to Alderman Wilson, that he had seen
and purchased a French publication in Mr!Thomas's
shop, containing a blasphemous caricature, of a stupen-
dous Scriptural faCgt, and that Magistrate advised him to
apply to the Society to inquire into the matter, and to
prosecute, if they should be of opinion that a prosecution
would benefit the public. The subject was yesterday
suddenly brought before Sir Peter Laurie, who had no
previous intimation of the case.
Mr. Pritchard, secretary to the Society for the Sup-
pression of Vice, attended to make the complaint offi-
cially, and called the gentleman who had communicated
with Mr. Thomas on the previous occasion, to give
evidence.

The witness produced a copy of the publication, of
which the name was not mentioned. Like the London il-
lustrated News, or Pictorial Times, it contained a num-
ber of woodcuts ; but one of them, which professed to
be the " Conversfon of St. Paul;" represented a figure
in the clouds, with finger to nose, looking down upon a
horseman who had just tumbled to the ground, and
was looking in as complimentary a manner at the figure
in the " upper element of air." The illustration was
called in the paper " The Conversion of St. Paul," and
the witness went into the shop, and expostulated with
Mr. Thomas upon the injurious tendency of such an ex-
hibition. At first Mr. Thomas laughed at the complain-
an', but upon being called on as one who respected the
religious institutions of the country, he admitted that the
objection was a reasonable one ; and, after some consi-
deration, he seemed to be disposed to drop the sale of the
work. As the suppression of the blasphemous woodcut,
for the sake of the public morality and religion, was the ob-
ject of the complainant, not a word more was intended to he
uttered on the subject; but Mr. Thomas still persevered
in the sale, and witness, in order to be in possession of
legal evidence, purchased a copy in the shop, intimating
at the same time, that he meant to lay it before the
Lord Mayor, and to have the matter investigated at the
Mansion-house. He not only learned that the " bias-
' phemy " was published here, but that it had beenwidely
circulated amongst the boarding-schools, and the semi-
naries of education for English youth at Paris, and he
considered that he was bound to represent the matter to
the proper authorities under the most sincere impression
that great public mischief might result from the sale of
,1 such an importation.
Mr. Thomas said he did not think it necessary to refer
to the character which he had long had in the City of
London as evidence that he was not a publisher of blas-
phemous works or publications calculated to throw con-
tempt upon religion in any way. He would merely ask
the Magistrate to look at the work before him, and to
examine it in all its numbers, and try whether he could
find any thing whatever in it calculated in the slightest
degree to reflect dishonour or slight upon religion or
morality. It was conducted by men who, on every oc-
casion, testified the highest regard for and admiration of
Christianity, and he would willingly submit to any
penalty the Magistrate might think proper to inflict if
any sentiment of an opposite tendency should be detected
in the pages of the publication.
Sir P. LAURIE said that the print which purported to
represent " the Conversion of St. Paul" was certainly
calculated to throw contempt upon the Christian reli-
gion. It was a caricature of one of the most remarkable
events exhibiting the efficacy of the doctrine of Christ.
Whether there was an allusion to it or not in the letter-
press, there it stood, incapable of being explained away
from its palpable meaning.
Mr. Thomas stated that it was quite a mistake to sup=
pose that the print was meant as an irreverent comment
upon the Christian religion. It, was merely placed in the
publication in ridicule of a bad picture which had, in the
course of' the year, been exhibited at the Louvre. Not
one word appeared in support of the suggestion that re-
lie-bion was meant to be assailed.
Sir P. LAURIE said that, sitting in the chair as a ma-
gistrate, it was not his business to inquire whether the
print objected to was a copy of, or intended to ridicule,
a picture at the Louvre, or to examine whether there
was anything in the editorial composition which did, or
did not, refer to the subject.
Mr. Thomas declared that he could not see show a
figure in a picture " playing Mr. Snooks " with another
figure could by being exhibited in a shop window sub-
ject a man fairly to a penal infliction. He had written
to the editor of the paper in which the caricature had
appeared, informing him of the offence which the com-
plainant had taken at it, and that gentleman was in at-
tendance to disclaim and utterly repudiate the most
remote Intention of making any contemptuous allusion
to the religion of Christ. The Rev. Mr. Wrinch, too,
the rector of the parish, was satisfied that no offence to
religion was meant by the representation.
Sir PETER LAURIE could not look upon the print in
any other light than as a caricature upon the sacred
writings. 'He knew Mr. Thomas to be a gentleman of
Undoubted respectability, but the very respectability of
a man's character conferred a renown upon any publica-
tion of :questionable propriety under his sanction, and
would rather aid 'then check the sale of blasphemy in
whatever shape.
The French publisher then came forward. He stated
that ha was proprietor and publisher of the paper con-
taining the alleged caricature upon the Christian reli-
gion. He confirmed the statement made by Mr. Thomas
as to the entire 'purity of 'intention which influenced
those who had authorised its publication, and declared
that he took; upon himself the whole responsibility.
Mr. Thomas thought, with deference to the magis-
trate, that it would have been more judicious if the sub-
ject had not been brought forward. He never had dealt
in works of blasphemy; on the contrary, he had been,
and was connected with several institutions of the high-
fist
mL:racter for the support of religion.
Sir riTi,7LAURIE said he was actin.. as a magis-
trate upon the pre3ent occasion. Ile had good deal to
do in the case of Carlile, who became notorious for pub-
lishing blasphemous caricatures, and many people, well
meaning people too, thought when that individual was at
work, that it would be more judicious not.to take legal
notice of him. The law, however, did at last take hold
of him, and there was an end to his career,
Mr. Thomas again contended that there was nothing
in the print calculated to give the least offence.
The complainant declared that itvvas with the utmost re; -
luctance he came forward to express a word of objection
to the conduct of so respectable a man, but he greatly
apprehended the spread of anti- Christian opinions, which
ridicule of the kind was so-likely to engender.
Sir PETER LAURIE —I take it for granted that Mr.
Thomas will not sell any more of these caricatures, or
such as these ; if he do I shall certainly inflict the pe-
nalty of 21., which is the utmost fine the law will allow
in any case on which I may be called upon to adjudi-
cate. I regret to be informed that this
_very number
has had a most extensive sale in the boarding-schools iti
Paris and other parts of France, for caricatures of this
kind disseminate mischief, great beyond conception,
amongst the boys and girls who are sent over from this
country to be educated in France.
Mr. Thomas handed over all the former numbers of
the periodical to the secretary of the Society fur the
Suppression of Vice, and told him that he and every
member of the Society might examine it with the most
inquisitous accuracy and report all they could against him.

MARKET NEWS-YESTERDAY.
CORN-EXCHANGE.
During the present week rather an extensive supply. of
English:Wheat has been received up to our market, owing
to which the demand for that article was heavy, at barely
Monday's quotations. In Foreign Wheats, both for and in
bond, exceedingly little was doing, at late rates. On account
of the large imports of Foreign Barley, the trade with that
article was heavy, and the currencies had a downward ten-
dency. The Malt trade was in a sluggish state. In Oats,
Beans, Peas, and Flour, next to nothing doing.

In consequence of the reports from the Hop plantations
being confirmatory of a general attack of fly, to a much
greater extent than is usual at this period of the year, the
demand has very much improved, and the quotations have
advanced from 8s to lOs per cwt. The factors have now
scarcely any Hops on offer. The stock on hand has not been
known so small since 1817.
