WOOL MASLICET.

The imports of Woul during the past week have been
only on a moderate scale, they having been but about
600 bales chiefly from Germany. The public sales which
have ;:een in progress since our last, have been well at-
tended by I),;vers, owing to which most of the parcels
offered, and which ve comprised about 15,000 bales,
have been disposed of at rYll prices, if we except the
lowest qualities being considered the turn lower. The
average quotations have ruled as i;;_ilows :—Van Die-
man's Land (clean sheep's), is 4d to 2s ; ditto Lambs',
Is 3d to 2s 4d ; ditto greasy, 9id to is 6d ; 51;113, is 3d
to is 6d ; Australian Sheep's, Is 5d to 2s Did ; ditto
Lambs', Is 3d to is lld ; Port Phillip, is 4fd to is lid
for Sheeps', and is 4d to is 6d for Lambs'. Swan River
Sheeps', Is 3d to is 7d ; Lambs', is 4d to is Sid ; Ger-
man Sheeps', is 3d to is 5d ; Lambs', is 5d to is 6d per
lb. The whole of the Buenos Ayres has been with-
drawn. These sales are expected to be brought to a
conclusion the latter end of the present week. Privately
a fair business is doing in most kinds of Wool at pre-
vious rates.
TALLOW.
The market for foreign Tallow is tolerably well sus-
tained, and may be considered firmer. The stock being
light, and the advance in home Tallow last Friday, give
a tendency upwards. Fine New Y.C. Candle is dearer,
at our quotation of this morning. There are letters from
St. r etersburgh up to the 12th and 24th of September.
The gross shipments to that date were 77,000, against
94,000 casks to the same time last year; and the de-
ficiency to London alone 9,000, and to the outports 7,000
casks. Prices then were t shade lower, with but a
moderate business doing. The iwnie melt is considered
short, and Tallow is 42s to 43s nett cash.

RB4CONSECRATION OF ST. MART'S CIRIRCH,POVER.
—On Tuesday last this church was re-consecrated by his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury—the restoration
(or re-building) and extension of the sacred edifice hav-
ing rendered the ceremony necessary. The Archbishop
was attended by his chaplain. and about forty of the
clergy on the occasion, and the performance of the cere-
mony was conducted with considerable splendour, and
with all solemnity and order. His Grace was conducted
up the nave of the church to the altar by the civic autho-
rities, and after the reading of the usual petition, the
Archbishop proceeded to the consecration and dedication
of the church. The Bev. Mr. Puckle read the morning
service, and the Eel. B. Harrison, chaplain to the Arch-
bishop, preached the sermon. A collection, amounting
to 2011. Is. 54d, was then made, and the service con-
cluded in the usual form, when the congregation sepa-
rated. His Grace left Dover a few minutes after, and,
with the Hey. Mr. Puckle, proceeded to Waldershare,
w dine with the Earl of Guildford.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1844.

The Herald of this morning affects to be facetious
—but is dull by mistake—on the subject of the late
great meeting at the Manchester Athenaeum. Mr
D'lsaAcm's speech, in particular, diverts our Con-
temporary exceedingly, and he asks with amusing
naivete—" Of what importance on earth is it to the
rest of the empire to know that this gentleman went
down to Manchester, to tell the people there the his-
tory of what they themselves had done—a history
with which They were, of course; much better ac-
quainted than he could possibly be ?" This, it must
be confessed, is smart ; or rather it would be smart,
were it either just, pertinent, or pointed. But the
inherent defects of nature are not to be counteracted
by even the most strenuous labour, and therefore,
despite our Contemporary's evident determination to
put a witty question, he has put—what he could not
help—simply a dull and a nonsensical one. From the
manner in which he shapes his interrogatory, the
reader would infer, as a matter of course, that Mr.
DISRAELI went down to Manchester for no other
purpose than to enlighten the inhabitants of that great
manufacturing capital on the subject of their own
particular branch of commerce; to give them a his-
tory of the rise and progress of the cotton trade ; and
of the wonderful improvements they had effected in
the power-loom and the spinning-jenny. But, un-
luckily for the Herald, the llon. Member for Shrews-
bury went down to Manchester for no such idle pur-
pose. He is not the man to carry coals to New-
castle. lie went down—not unsolicited, by the bye,
but at the express invitation of some of the leading
men of the Athenwum—to give expression to senti-
tnents of the utmost consequence to a commercial com-
munity—sentiments lofty, generous, and bracing in
their tone, and such as it does an English audience good
to listen to—sentiments breathing a fervid emotion,
extensive in their application, catholic in their ten-
dency, and calculated to foster a sense of self-respect
and noble emulation among men, whose minds are
but too apt to become warped and dwarfed, and covered
over with a hard, dry crust of selfishness from the
fiElibi4rbigitigltiiture of the worldly and business-like
they are engaged. The beautiful

AMERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—
The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
summer season..
The Refrigerator Is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year.
They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the 'Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

THE QUEEN V. MOSES DAVIS THE YOUNGER.

This was a similar case to the others, and the de-
fendant was sentenced to three months' imprisonment
in the House of Correction, with hard labour, and on
his discharge to find two sureties, to be bound for his
good behaviour for twelve months, in the sum of 501.
each, and to enter into his own recognizance of 1001.

THE QUEEN V. VINCENT HOWARD.

The defendant in this case was willing to give up
the keys of the house, and to do all he could to abate
the nuisance. He was discharged with a nominal
fine of is.

THE QTJEBN V. WOODRIDGE, HARRIS, DRAHAM, AND

GALE.

In these cases the learned counsel said the parties
could not be found, but they had abated the nuisances,
and he was willing that the recognizances should be
discharged.—Discharged accordingly.

THE QUEEN V. RACHEL STURGEON AND ELIZABETH'

FRANKLIN.

The defendants were convicted on the same day of
a like offence, and were out on bail, but had not
made their appearance when their names were called
over. Their recognizances were, therefore, ordered to
be estreated.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Thompson, a person advanced in years, of very
respectable appearance, was brought before Mr.
Maltby for final examination, charged with having
committed several small thefts at' the stands in' the
Pantheon Bazaar.

Miss Joice said she attended a stand in the bazaar.
On Monday afternoon her attention having been at-
tracted by a slight noise at her stand, she was induced
to look into a rosewood tea- caddy, and she then missed
the cut glass sugar•bason. As she was quite certain
the prisoner must have taken it, she followed him
until he turned into a room belonging to the porters,
the door of which she locked, and then went in search
of one of the constables who are in attendance at the
bazaar. The sugar-bason was afterwards found in
the room in which the prisoner had been detained.
Brown, one of the porters, said he examined the
prisoner, but found nothing on his person. On look-
ing about the room he found the sugar-bason con-
cealed in a pail of water which stood behind the pri-
soner.

In defence, the prisoner said he had been
wounded in the head some years back, and this ren-
dered him at times wholly unconscious of his acts.
He was fully committed.
There were two small silver-tipped bottles found in
the cell in which the prisoner had been placed, both
of which had been stolen from another stand in the
same bazaar. These being identified, they were
ordered to be delivered to the owners.

Inspector Aggs said he had been misled with re-
spect to the prisoner, as far as his former statement,
that he would turn out to be a well-known thief, was
concerned. He had, however ascertained that the
prisoner was known to the police as having been con-
corned in swindling practices.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1844.

The great meeting which took place on Thursday
last at the Manchester Athenreum, of the various
literary societies and mechanics' institutes of that
and the neighbouring towns, is one of those signs of
the times which it is impossible to contemplate
without the sincerest satisfaction. Men of all parties
and shades of party here met as on neutral ground :
political asperities were laid aside ; the Conservative
fraternised with the Whig, and the Whig with the
Radical ; the aristocratic landowner rejoiced to
bold out the right hand of good-fellowship
to the humbler manufacturer, and coveted
no other distinction than such as night
be awarded to him for his intellectual powers. It
was delightful to see such men as Lord JOHN MAN-
'grits, and Messrs. SMYTHE and D'ISRAELI, who
occupy a high position in society, abandoning all
conventional claims to notice, and desiring only to
produce an impression on their Manchester hearers
by the lustre of their eloquence, the force of their
reasoning, and the truth and elevation of their
sentiments. The speeches delivered by these
gentlemen— more especially those of Messrs.
D'ISRAELI and SMYTHE—are among the most
impressive we have read for many a long day,
exhibiting not merely a copious flow of poetic
imagery, very rarely to be met with in these days of
matter-of-fact Utilitarianism, but giving utterance to
valuable truths not less lofty than fervent and gene-
rous in their character. But twenty short years ago,
how would the proud, exclusive aristocracy of England
have started—how would their conventional preju-
dices regarding rank and pedigree have been
shocked—had one of their own equestrian Order
presumed to hold language like this at a meet-
ing
of mere Manchester manufacturers :—" Gentle-
men, the very Ambassadors now sent to us from
foreign courts are, so many reproaches to
our neglect of letters. Who is the Ambassador
from Russia ? A man who has risen by his pen.
Who is the Ambassador from Sweden ? An author
and a historian—the historian of British India. Who
is the Ambassador from Prussia ? An author and a
professor. 'Who is the Ambassador from Belgium ?
Again, a man who has risen by literature. Who is
the Ambassador from France ? An author and a his-
torian. Who is the Ambassador from, I had almost
slit], our fellow-countrymen in America ? Again.
an author and a professor !" Independent, high_ni;„(isci
language like the above is enough to make the hone;
of an aristocrat of the old exclusive school shake in
.
their ancestral tomb. What, a member of hia own

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount afteady invested; and this bonus, aceording to au equitabie
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

LAW AND POLICE.

At Lambeth-street, George Seyforth, a sailor belonging to
the Tory barque, was charged with smuggling 271bs. of tobacco.
After bearing the evidence, Mr. Henry said he was bound to
inflict a penalty of 100/. upon the prisoner, but he did not
think the case was one which called for so severe a punish-
ment, and he hoped that, upon a proper representation, the
Commissioners of Customs would reduce the penalty to a
nominal sum.

Samuel Matthews, a well-dressed man, of military appear-
ance, was brought up at Union-hall for re-examination,
charged with committing several robberies in different
public-houses about town. Two cases were established
against the prisoner, who denied his guilt ; and Mr. Traill
said that he should commit him for trial on the charges ad-
vanced against him, but that he would be brought up again
on Friday next.
At the Greenwich: Police-court, a young man named
Thomas Evans, a blacksmith, residing at Flumstead, was
charged with having committed a capital assault on the per-
son of Sarah Gloster, a pretty-looking woman, aged 25. The
crime, with unusual circumstances of heartlessness, was fully
substantiated. Mr. Jeremy committed the prisoner for trial.
At Hammersmith, Thomas Clark, a boy 10 years of age,
was fined in the mitigated penalty of 501. for assisting in the
removal of a quantity of illicit spirits from a house in Peel-
street, Kensington Gravel-pits, where the officers of Excise
found all the necessary apparatus for conducting an extensive
illicit distillery.
At Aylesbury, on Monday, the Rev. William Day, Rector
of Hawridge, aged thirty-six, was arraigned on an indictment
found at the last assizes, and charging him with having
maliciously maimed and wounded four sheep, the property
of Joseph Weedon, at Hawridge, on the 19th June last. It
appeared that the sheep had trespassed on the premises of the
prisoner, who had secured them in his stable or yard, and
wounded four of them, by cutting them in the flanks with a
knife. Lord Abinger, having briefly summed up the case
to the jury, left it to them to say whether the prisoner was
actuated by any malicious motive towards the prosecutor,
or whether he had acted, however mistakenly, under an idea
that he was in the exercise of a right. The jury, after a
brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

wings, and encountered an outlay of ten thousand pounds) is, despite
of this (In candour it must be proclaimed), in need of a searching

asserted is not surpassed thrughont the kingdom) will render
