THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR
GENERAL USE IS

FRAMPTON"S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxa-
tion, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove
head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are highly
gratetbl to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
languor and depression of spirits ; while to those of a full habit, and
free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heaviness,
and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not
fail to be appreciated.
This Medicine has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
with permission to publish it, and, if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :
To
" Ileavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.

" I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person
to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they Dave proved of
extraordinary efficacy. I think_ that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"—certainly none possessed of superior claims.
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individual recom-
mendation, and am, Sir, " Your obedient servant,

GRE S lIA M AVENUE ASSOCIATION,
30, Bucklersbury, March 10, 1845.
At a SPECIAL MEETING of the PROVISIONAL COMMIT-
TEE, held this day, it was resolved
That, being advised that serious objections are likely to be raised
in Parliament against that part of the scheme of the Association re-
lating to Life Assurance, as involving the principle of a Tontine, the
Committee, therefore, deem it expedient to abandon that part of their
original plan for raising the capital of the Association.
That the capital be raised by the issue of 3,000 shares of 1001. each,
not; subject to a contingency upon life, and that the profits of the
Association be divided annually.
That those subscribers 'who have paid their deposits upon the plan
originally announced, may, on or before Monday, the 24th inst., re-
ceive back the same, without deduction, upon application at the
Office, and those who are desirous of transferring their subscription
to the present scheme, are requested to signify the same on or before
that day.
That applications for the unappropriated shares will be received
until Monday, the 24th March inst., when the same will be forth-
with allotted. . .

Prospectuses may be obtained and plans may he seen on applica-
tion at the Offices, No. 30, Bucklersbory ; and of the solicitors,

GENUINE WAX CANDLES, 28s. per doz.
These three sorts of Candles are all precisely alike in their burn-
ing qualities, but the Vauxhall Composites are rather softer than
the I'rice's Patent, and thence the difference in price. Even those
who arc compelled to study economy alone, should burn them in pre-
ference to Tallow Dips. _ _

pearance and brilliancy of light. W. S. Hales makes no inferior Com-
posite Candles, of which town and country are inundated. To be had
genuine, also the extra-fine Wax-wick Moulds, 6d. per lb., for
cash, at DAVIES'S Old Established Warehouse, 63, St. Martin's-
lane, opposite Slaughter's Coffee-house.

CILARK'S ROYAL WAX CANDLES !
NO PUFF ! ! (ORly Is. per lb.)

"Their equal is unknown—their superior will never come."
A pure white flame—they snuff themselve i—are hard as alabaster
—pure as wax—glossy as glass—and cheap as common tallow can-
dles, is their true character. Composite candles, German wax, Mar-
garine wax, Botanic wax, and all such inferior candles must be
thrown aside, hearing no comparison to Royal Wax Candles. Their
great success has already created imitators. CLARK and CO. do
not supply the trade, therefore all who purchase elsewhere cannot
have the Royal Candles. No arsenic is used—inquiry is challenged.
Royal Wax Candles of all sizes required. Only Is. per lb.
Please write down the address, CLARK and CO., 447, West
Strand (opposite Warren's Manufactory).

Surely, all will say a desirable object is attained. A Lamp,
producing a star of dazzling flame, the light of twenty candles, and
no more expense than two candles, so easy in management that any
domestic can trim it. It cannot emit blacks or smoke, the Lamp
being so constructed that the light will not rise after being put at
the height required. No complication ! All other Camphine Lamps
bend before it. It reigns triumphant, " The Perfect Camphine Lamp."
Table Lamps, Hall Lamps, and Kitchen Lamps, and any person's
pedestal fitted in a very superior style for 235., complete.
To be seen burning at Clark and Co.'s, 447, West Strand. Clark

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal oven to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield

After between fifty and sixty false starts, occupying nearly
three-quarters of an hour, the men went away in earnest,
the Pet having the advantage of the lead by a yard. At
the end of fifty yards both were breast and breast, when
the Pet shot away, and won by between two and three yards,
performing the distance in eleven seconds. Mullett, who
beat the "Antelope" in a 100 yards race, by only nine inches,

HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 12.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN
and a Common Jury.)

RUTLEY U. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a carrier,
at Dover, to recover from the South-Eastern Railway
Company the value of certain perishable goods, consist-
ing of fish and meat, and which he alleged were de-
stroyed by reason of their illegally refusing to allow
him to send them upon the railway after the tolls and
rates paid by the Act of Parliament had been duly paid.
There were a great many counts in the plaintiff's de-
claration, of which the above is the substance. The
Company had put s.,veral pleas upon the record, alleging
that the rates and tolls had not been paid—that money
was due from the plaintiff to the Company, and also
that the waggon containing the goods in question was
not loaded in the form and manner required by the Act
Parliament,
The circumstances under which the action was
brought were these. The plaintiff had, for a consider-
able time followed the occupation of a carrier eery ex-
tensively between Dover, London, and the intermediate
places upon the route, but upon the establishment of
the railway he was, of course, compelled to give up his
old system of business, and for some time he, in com-
mon with other carriers, conveyed his goods by the rail-
way. Various regulations were at different times made
by the Company with reference to the carriers upon the
line, and one of them was, that the payments should be
made by what was called " the trip," either from Lon-
don to Dover, or vice versa, and the plan was, that the
gross highest amount of tonnage, eitLer way, should be
paid for, and on the return no charge should be made by
the Company. It appeared to be the custom of the
Company to allow the carriers a week's credit,
at the end of which time the accounts were
made up, and the gross amount carried each
way accurately ascer"ained, but in consequence of some
disagreement between the plaintiff and the Company,
relative to a sum of 1001, which they alleged he owed,
and which he said was due from other parties whose
goods he had conveyed, the Company refused to give
him the usual week's credit, and insisted that he should
pay in advance for everything they carried for him,
undertaking to return him, at the end of the week, any
balance that might be in his favour through the arrange-
ment above alluded to. This state of things went on for
a short time ; but on the 1 lth of August, in last year,
the plaintiff having sent his goods, as usual, from
London, paid for a quantity of three tons, at
the Bricklayers' Arms, or some of the other stations on
the line, and on his sending back a smaller quan-
tity, some portion of which consisted of perish-
able articles, such as fish, &c., on the same trip, the
railway authorities at the Folkstone station refused to
allow them to be carried on, unless he paid an additional
amount. To this objection was made; but an offer was
given to deposit a sum of money, with a view to try the
question, -if the clerk would allow the goods to be for-
warded to London ; but he refused, and the truck con-
taining the property was detached from the engine and
left behind; the result being, that the whole of its con-
tents were destroyed.
Sergeant SHEE, on behalf of the Company, took seve-
ral legal objecticns to the form of the di claration, refer-
ring to the different Railway Acts in support of his ar-
gument ; but the Court over-ruled them.

The Learned SERGEANT then proceeded to address
the jury, and said that in opening this case his Learned
Friends had designated the defendants as a set of spe-
culators. He was ready to :admit that they were specu-
lators, but at the same time he must say that the specu-
lation which they had carried out was one of greater
benefit to the community than any that had ever been
brought forward by any other speculators in the history
of this country. It was true that they did expect some
benefit from their speculation, and obtain those rights
and privileges to which they were entitled, and he con-
tended that they had done no more in this case than the
Act of Parliament under which the railway was esta-
blished, entitled the proprietors to do. He then pro-
ceeded to comment upon the circumstances of the case,
and submitted to the jury that there was no ground for
the present action.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE briefly addressed the jury,
and expressed his opinion, that upon the form of the de-
claration in the present action the plaintiff was entitled
to a verdict, and that the Company having received the
rates of toll for the larger quantity upon the trip down,
had no right to make a further demand upon the journey
back to London. He therefore directed the jury to find
for the plaintiff.

The fury returned a verdict accordingly. Damages,
45/. Is. Bd.

RUTLEY V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action brought by the same plaintiff, to
recover the value cf certain goods that were alleged to
have been destroyed through the negligence of the ser-
vants of the Company.
It appeared that on the 19th September, last year, the
plain tiff sent some linen goods by the railway to Dover,
and while passing through Shakspeare's Tunnel, some
sparks from the engine got inside the truck, and sat the
bale containing the property in question on fire. The
defence was that the goods:were not properly and securely
packed by the plaintiff, and it was admitted by one of his
witnesses that there were a number of holes in the oi►
cloth placed over the truck, and this, it was alleged, was
the cause of the mischief.

The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, IN.

OXFORD ClRCUlT:—Worcester, March 9.

Their Lordships having visited the Duke of Marlborough
at Blenheim Palace on Saturday afternoon, arrived here yes-
terday, and attended Divine service in the cathedral.
The calendar contains the names of fifty-three prisoners,
no less than ten of whom are charged with the crime of mur-
der, and eleven with that of housebreaking. There are
twelve robberies from the person, one case of sheep-stealing,
one of stabbing, and one of forgery of an order for payment.
The remainder consist of larcenies of small articles.

The Croome case, which imputes to eleven poachers the
crime of murder on Lord Coventry's estate, is one of para-
mount interest, and its result is looked forward to with much
anxiety.
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.)
March 10.

The Courts opened for business this morning—the Chief
Baron presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Platt
at Nisi Prius. In his charge to the grand jury, the Learned
Judge intimated, with reference to the case at Croome, that,
if the evidence satisfied the jury that all the prisoners went
out with the common design of resisting with violence the
opposition of the keepers to their intention of killing game,
and death ensued in a struggle consequent upon such
agreement, the offence would be clearly that of murder
against all.
BURGLARY. —John Lloyd and William Clarke were charged
with breaking into the house of Mrs. Sarah Davies, and steal-
ing therein sundry articles of clothing and towels. The house
is situate at the hamlet of Lower Milton, in this county, and
the robbery was committed on the night of the 30th of Ja-
nuary last.
Mary Ann Teague, servant to the prosecutrix, deposed
to having been alarmed on the night in question by the
barking of the house-dog. She, with her fellow-servant,
Mary Jeffs, ran to the door, where they saw two men, named
Cook and Bennett, a policeman and a constable. In conse-
quence of the statement of the two women, they went into the
housl and made an examination ; the result of which was,
that two windows were found broken open, and the remains
of a fire burning upon the floor of the back kitchen, among
which were discovered fragments of aprons and towels, after-
wards identified as the property of Mrs. Davies, and of her
two servants. Upon following up the search the prisoner
Clarke was seized in the yard, where he had attempted to
conceal himself behind a pump. A footmark appeared
clearly impressed on the semi-frozen snow near one of the
windows. A boot of Clarke's was compared with this, but as
it did not correspond, further inquiries were instituted. John
Lloyd, having been seen on the night of the 30th, drinking
in the prisoner's company, was taken into custody on suspi-
cion, and his boot being removed and placed by the side
of the impression alluded to, answered to it in every par-
ticular.

The jury convicted both the prisoners. Sentence deferred.
The business in both the Courts has proceeded but slowly
to-day. and the Assizes are expected to be of unusually long
duration.

March 11.
THE CROOAIE MURDER CASE.

This morning the bill of indictment was preferred against
the eleven men, named Joseph Turley, Francis Dmgley, lVil-
liam Bromfield, George Brant, Joseph Tandy, Samuel Turrey,
John C(x)11c, and William Cosnett, sc., charged upon the coroner's
warrant, and upon the magistrateS' commitment, with the
wilful murder of Thomas Staite, the gamekeeper employed
on the infant Earl of Coventry's estates at Croome, on the
night of the 19th December last, under circumstances already
detailed in the columns of this paper. The grand jury,
after a short deliberation, returned into Court with true bills
against the whole of the prisoners, amidst the breathless
silence of the Court. _

An application was then made by the Counsel on both
sides fur the appointment of a time for the trial, and it was at
length arranged that it should be taken some time to-mor-
row. The trial will last a long time, on account of the num-
ber of witnesses to be examined.

NORFOLK CI R CU IT.—Aylesbui y. Al arch 10.

This circuit commenced this morning, the commission for
the county of Bucks being opened at 10 o'clock by the
Learned Judges of assize, who afterwards attended Divine
service.

The grand jury was charged at 1 o'clock by Mr. Baron
Parke, and as soon as the bills were found they were dis-
tributed betwen the Learned Baron and Mr. Justice Patte-
son, the civil business, which is not expected to be very
heavy, being postponed till to-morrow. The calendar pre-
sents a long array of crime, there being no fewer than 82
prisoners, whose offences may thus be catalogued :—Murder,
2 ; arson, 1 ; burglary and housebreaking, I l ; highway
robbery, 1 ; violence to the person, 2 ; larcenies and misde-
meanours, 40. It therefore appears that there is not in the
quality of the offences a very serious calendar, if we except
the two cases of murder, one of which is that of John Tawell
(which is fixed for Wedneday, for the convenience of Mr.
Kelly, who is specially retained for the prisoner), and the
other a case of infanticide, a charge which generally subsides
into a misdemeanour.

The following cases were tried to-day.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)
• ARSON.—Peter Wolfinger, aged 10, was indicted for
feloniously setting tire to a haulm stack, the property of
Francis Stephenson, of Ilanslope, on the 13th of September
last.
Mr. Wells conducted the case for the prosecution. The
prisoner was not defended.
This case was one of a most simple character, and only

' deserves notice from the fact that a motive was established
fur the perpetration of the offence. It appears that the
prosecutor lives about a quarter of a mile from his stack-
yard, near to which stand the cottages of two men, who,
with their families have been constantly in his service. Of
one of these, the prisoner, an urchin scarcely able to see over
the dock, was the son, and, though a child in years he would
seem to have been a man in mischief, for, in the course of
the last harvest, he was detected in the act of stealing one of
the prosecutor's sheaves of wheat from an adjoining field. On
that occasion, Mr. Stephenson, with a spirit which reflects
credit on him, preferred to appeal to the justice of the p.xter-
famalias rather than to that of the country, and, by the
consent of the boy's parents, he was whipped. This circum-
stance took place in the middle or end of August, and must
alone have prompted the little culprit to fire his master's
property, for, on the 13th of September, he was seen with a
box of lucifers in his hand, which he was trying against the
wall, as ho went along towards the stackyard where the
haulm rick stood, and just ten minutes before the flames were
seen he was observed to get over a stile leading to the yard
by a labourer who had been thatching one of the stacks, and
spoke most positively to their being all quite safe when he
left the spot. These facts coming to the knowledge of the
constable, the boy was taken into custody, when he quietly
confessed the deed, but added that he had "only lighted a
match and thrown it on to the stack, without any intention
to set it on fire."

Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up the case to the jury,
they found the prisoner Guilty, and he was forthwith sen-
tenced to transportation for 15 years.
(Before Mr. Justice PArrusoic.)
PHEASANT STEALING.—DanieI, David, and John Grange,
and Daniel Ford, all agricultural youths of 19, or there-
abouts, were indicted for stealing eleven tame pheasants, on
the 30th of January last, the property of Col. Reid of Bul-
strode-park, in this county.
Mr. Dasent was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Wells
for the prisoners.
From the evidence of the gallant prosecutor's keeper and
gardener, it appeared that the subjects of this charge had
been for some time past preserved in an ornamental aviary
adjoining his mansion, where, being kept under lock and key,
they were the admiration of all the family and visitors at the
park. Tame pheasants, however, would seem to be quite as pro-
fitable in the market as those which perch on the tree and are
ferce natura, for on the morning of the 31st of January the
cage was found broken open, and the birds, if not flown, at
any rate carried away ; the latter supposition being much
strengthened by the discovery of the footsteps of four men
leading across the snow on the lawn to the gravel surround-
ing the aviary. Information being given to the police force,
the superintendent at once started for Uxbridge, about six
miles off, where he, not unwisely, imagined that the birds
and thieves had all flown, as the former would find a ready
market. Nor was he mistaken, for at twelve o'clock he
found all the prisoners and one Wood drinking together at
the Feathers, the landlord of which hostelrie soon produced
to him eight out of the eleven birds, which had been depo-
sited by one of the party in the "private parlour," while the
others negotiated the sale of their booty, three of which had
been already got rid of elsewhere. Upon confronting the
prisoners with Wood, the prisoners one and all exculpated
the latter from any participation in the job, and he now
formed a material witness against them, for, according to his
account, he met them all heavily laden at eight o'clock in
the morning, on the way to Uxbridge, about four miles from
Bulstrode Park. Being acquainted, a promiscuous conversa-
tion sprung up between them, in the course of which they
plainly said they had got eleven live pheasants in their
pockets, but added that they had secured them by a new
method of " smoking them while roosting on the trees," the
result of which was they "fell like dead into their arms."
After this the witness and the men parted, but in about an
hour he fell in again with them at the Feathers, when he
attempted to sell the birds for them. This being the case
for the prosecution, and four of the birds being clearly iden-
tified by the keeper and gardener,
Mr. Justice PArrEsox proceeded to sum up the case to the
jury, telling them that this was not a poaching case, but a
pure felony, there being no doubt whatever but that birds so
reclaimed from a state of nature were proper subjects of
felony.
The jury having found all the prisoners Guilty, they were
severally sentenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard
labour.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Salisbury, March 10.
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. )
Praxell Alford Hinwood was indicted for feloniously send-
ing a letter to Thomas Slade Whiting, threatening to burn
and destroy his stacks of corn.

Mr. Meiewether conducted the prosecution.
It appeared that the prosecutor is a farmer at Codford, and
one of the guardians of the poor. On the 7th of December
he received a letter by the post. Within the letter was a
small piece of brown paper, burnt at one end like a match
The prisoner had been an inmate of the union. She had
told a person that she would send a threatening letter to Mr.
Whiting, because he had only allowed her 6d. a day. She
had been in prison for breaking windows at the Warminster
Union. When she came out of prison she returned to the
union, and, after she had been there a day or two she asked
another pauper for a sheet of writing paper, and she then
wrote a letter, which she said was to one of the guardians of
her parish. She cut a piece of brown paper in the shape of a
match, and burnt it at one end, and put it in the letter, and
sealed it, making an impression on the wax with the thimble
of another pauper, and gave it to one of them to take to
the post.

Tile following is a copy of the letter:—
" Mr. Thomas Slade Whiting,_l have sent you these few
lines Just to give you Warning, that before this month is
over you shall have your Farm and property destroyed by
fire; what corn you intend sending to market send as quick
as you can, for you shall not send any more. This is the
articles I use, and I shall use them. But if you do not want
it in a Blaze you must not let me come into your parish.
But you shall suffer for it. And I will do it. Let me be
wherever I may be for I will do it and your police nor any
other shall stop me."
This letter was directed to " Mr. Thomas Slade Whiting,
Codford, St. Peter's, Wilts." -
The prisoner, when called upon for her defence, said to the
prosecutor, "As you have sworn falsely against me, you may
depend upon it if ever I have my liberty again, I'll set your
property on fire: that you may depend on."
The gaoler—Be quiet.
Prisoner—l shall not be quiet; shall speak the sentiments
of my mind.
Tue jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner has been before tried, two years since, for
threatening to kill and murder the master of the workhouse.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced theprisoner to ten years'
transportation.
The prisoner said, "Thank you,,my Lord, and I hope you'll
sit there till I come back."

George Goodfetow, James Andrews, John Wyatt, alias
Loveless, William Palmer, Thomas Sanger, James Read,
alias Viney, George Scammell, and Henry Andrews, were in-
dicted for unlawfully being together on the 25th of January
last, in the night, in an inclosed land, called Toffant, or
Toffont, or Tovont-wood, in the possession Of the Earl of
Pembroke, armed with guns and other offensive weapons,
for the purpose of taking or destroying game.
The prisoners, upon being placed at the bar, presented a
very sad spectacle. Some of them had their heads bound
up; others had their arms in slings; and most of them ar-
peared to have been very severely wounded.
Mr. Merewethcr conducted the case for the prosecution, '
and Mr. Hodges defended the prisoners.
Mr. MEREWETHER, in opening the case for the prosecu-
tion, stated, the t the prisoners were indicted under the sta-
tute the 9th George 11%, cap. 69, section 9, which enacted
that.if any persons, to the uumber of three or more together,
should by night unlawfully enter or be in any inclosed land
armed with guns or other offensive weapons for the purpose
of taking or destroying game, they should be guilty of a
misdemeanour. The Earl of Pembroke was the owner of
Toffant-wood, but he had given Mr. Martin permission to
shoot there. The game was preserved tolno inordinate ex-
tent, and no battue shooting was carried on there. Although
they were sorry to see the prisoners suffering much from the
violence which afterwards ensued, yet he believed that when
this enterprise was first determined on, the parties had not
intended that it should be attended with any violence; but,
on that very account, it was very important that this prose-
cution should be instituted, because it was desirable that
publicity should be given to proceedings of this kind, that
persons might know, before they entered upon such a scheme,
that consequences might ensue which might place them in
the most painful position. The Learned Counsel then gave
a detail of what had taken place on the night in question,
which will appear in the following short extract from the
evidence :

James Barrett, the elder—l live at Compton Chamber-
lain, and am gamekeeper to Mr. Martin. I know Totrant-
wood, which is the property of Lord Pembroke. It is within
my beat. On the night of the 25th of January, about nine
o'clock, I went ont on my duty, accompanied by my two
sons, and Lambert and Raymond. About three in the morn-
ing I heard the report of a gun. We went in the direction of the
sound, and saw a man coming towards us. It was a moonlight
morning. The man was looking up in the trees, as if far game.
He walked up close to me. I put up my hand and took him
by the collar of the jacket. I saw his face, and said,
"Master Goodfellow, is that you ?" I had known him for
years. I told my, son James to take the gun from him, that
no mischief might be done. There was a struggle about the
gun, and Goodfellow called. " Fall in, fall in." My son got
the gun, and threw it away. We heard the report of ano-
ther gun, and then nine or ten men came up, having guns or
bludgeons. They held them up on end. One said, "D—
-your eyes, stand I" Then a fight began. I had a stick and
hanger. When I laid hold of Goodfellow I stuck my hanger
in the ground, to prevent mischief. The other party struck
the first blow. The fight continued for half an hour. I saw
James Andrews, Henry Andrews, John Wyatt, and Good-
fellow. They had sticks and guns. We had no firearms. We
were overpowered, and obliged to decamp.
Cross-examined—We always preserve the game there. My
sons and myself are regular keepers in the employment of
Mr. Martin. We had only two hangers with us. I don't
know how many cuts I inflicted. We had on a kind of hel-
mets made of straw to protect our heads. They are called
Cranbourne• chase hats. When the fight began we let Good-
fellow go. There was no attempt by the poachers to dis-
charge their guns during the fight.
By the JUDGE—I was confined to my bed for a fortnight
afterwards.
James Barrett, jun.—l am son of the last witness, and was
with him that night. George Goodfellow came up to us, and
my father took him by the collar. I tried to get the gun
from him. He endeavoured to get the cock of the gun up.
I beard it snap twice. I succeeded in getting it from him.
He called out " Fall in, fall in !" I then saw nine or ten
other men come up as fast a 3 they could run. They lifted
up th' guns and sticks which they had, and struck us on our
heads with them. I can speak to James Andrews, Henry
Andrews, William Palmer, and George Scammell. I knew
them well. This is the gun I took from Goodfellow. It
was loaded and had on a cap. The next morning I went
to the spot, and found three bludgeons and the broken stock
of a gun.

Cross-examined—The moon shone bright at that time. I
knew Goodfellow before my father took him by the collar.
I never said to Henry Turner that I fancied some of them
must have thought of their latter end. Sometimes there
were three of them to one of us. If I had not made use
of my hanger as much as I could I should have died upon
the spot.
Charles Barrett—l was with my father that night. I can

William Raymond—l come from the infirmary. I wa3
with the gamekeepers that night. Henry Andrews was
there. (This witness had his arm broken, and was otherwise
dreadfully beaten.)
Mr. Martin—l have Lord Pembroke's permission to shoot
in Toffant-wood. It is not my land.
This was the case for the prosecution. •
Several respectable farmers and other persons, and parti-
cularly the rector of the parish, spoke very highly as to the
character of all, or some of the prisoners : they were the best
labourers in the parish, and had never before-bean known as
poachers.

The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sen-
tenced to be imprisoned for 12 months, with hard labour.

RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The extent to which Sir Robert Peel intends to
propose an addition to the Maynooth grant has not yetbeen
announced. It seems to be admitted, on all hands, that the
increase will be considerale. The present amount voted an-
nually by Parliament, and w4ich has continued the same for
the last 50 years, is 8,0001. If the statements which make the
addition to that vote 20,000/.—thus raising the sum to 28,0001.
—be correct, the increased power which will be thus given
to the Roman Catholics, of propagating their doctrines,
will be considerably increased. It is also reported that the
buildings of the College are to be placed under the charge of
the Board of Public Works, and are to be repaired and kept
up at the public charge. From what fell from Sir Robert
Peel on this subject in the House of Commons, it is under-
stood that no interference with, or inspection of, the internal
management of the seminary, is to be required on the part of
Government. All is to be left, as it now is, under the
control and direction of the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
The grant, thus largely increased, is to be fettered with
no condition. What is freely given is to be as freely
received. However willing Sir Robert Peel maybe to throw
his former pledges and promises overboard, upon the plea
that State necessity calls for the sacrifice at his hands, we
yet doubt whether he has not, on this occasion, reckoned
without his host. That his conveniently-pliable majority
in the House of Commons would do his bidding in
this, or any other deviation from, or contradic-
tion of, their former sayings or doings, their sub-
serviency leaves no room for doubt. But in this case
there are difficulties out of doors. Principles of opposi-
tion, from different points of the political and religions
hemisphere, are preparing to unite, as in one common
centre, against this proposed application of the national re-
venue to give extension and effect to Popish doctrines. A
combined opposition to the scheme will thus be raised, more
formidable than has been provoked by any previous
measure which the present Ministry has ventured to pro-
pound. This scheme forms no part of what is termed
" justice to Ireland." A perfect equality in all civil
privileges with their Protestant fellow-countrymen is the
indefeasible right of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Per-
feet confidence should be reposed in their loyalty by the Go-
vernment, and strict impartiality in the distribution of official
patronage should be exhibited toward them by the Ad-
ministration. The secular education of the children .of
their poor should be aided by the State, without
interference with religious teaching, which should be
left exclusively to their own clergy. Every means within
the power of the Legislature and the functions of Government,
should be employed to elevate the condition, and thus inspire
, the confidence, of the people. The Roman Catholics of Ire-
land have a right to these, and to all other civil privileges
and inimunities. But a broad line of distinction exists be-
tween civil rights and State endowmenti.' This distinction
will be insisted upon in the forthcoming controversy ; and
we cannot see how Sir Robert Peel will be able to meet the
objections, and turn aside the battle which will be fought
' upon its ground. The education of the young men who are edu-
cated at the College of Maynooth is emphatically and exclu-
sively religious. They are there trained for the priesthood oftho
Roman Catholic Church. Its doctrines are there instilled
into their minds ; the " bodily worship" enjoined by the
Romish ritual is there daily and hourly practised. They
thus become familiarised by habit with its ceremonies and
observances. At the appointed time they come forth;
and receive power and authority from the Bishop to
preach, teach, and enjoin the same things upon others.
In proposing to call upon the Protestant people of
England to pay for educating the Roman Catholic priests of
Ireland, we think Sir Robert Peel has ventured on an expe-,
riment which will fail. This proposal is neither mere nor
less than to endow—out of the taxation of the country,
principally paid by English Protestants—a Propaganda Col-
lege for the growth and spread of doctrines which they
believe to be impregnated with errors of awful tendency.
Transubstantian, papal infallibility, the worship of the
Virgin and the saints, the use of images, penance, purgatory,
priestly absolution, baptismal regeneration, celibacy, monkery,
, and all the other dogmas against which the Reformers pro-
tested, many of them even to martyrdom, are, in the excess
of Sir Robert Peel's new-born love for Popery, to be cultivatd
and cherished by means of a large yearly Parliamentary
grant to Maynooth. Will the Protestant spirit which yet lives
and breathes in the Protestant Establishment of the country,
and among the numerous and enlightened bodies of dissidents
from her communion, consent to this? We think it will
not. The Dissenters from the Established Church will
also urge an objection, peculiar to themselves, against this
proposed formidably large endowment to Maynooth. Ob-
jecting, as they do, to all State endowments of religion, they
will oppose this extension of the principle to a Church to
whose doctrines and ceremonies they, as Protestants, espe-
cially object. The Wesleyans have steadily resisted the
extension of civil privileges to Roman Catholics, lest
they should employ those acquired powers to the in-
jury of Protestants. This powerful and firmly-com-
pacted body are, we understand, preparing to meet
the scheme, on its announcement, with the deter-
mined and effective opposition which their well-adapted
connexional machinery can readily and expeditiously
combine and enforce. A considerable and influential party
in the Church of England will join in this demonstration.
The stern and jealous Protestantism of Scotland will take the
alarm. An apprehension, that Popery will derive increased
power from enlarged means supplied by the State, will stimu-
late all classes of Protestants to resist the Government
scheme, while a perception that for questionable purpeses,
such as this, the income-tax is to be retained, will increase
the unpopularity of the Ministry, and will constitute a for-
midable item in the accouut which it will have to settle with
the country when the day of reckoning comes.
STANDARD.—The long debate upon the conduct of the
Governor of New Zealand last night was subject to this
somewhat important objection, that nobody knew distinctly
what the conduct of the Governor has been ; still less .
was any one in possession of the reasons for his mea-
sures, as far as these measures could be guessed
at. Mr. C. Buller, Mr. Aglionby, &c., however, thought
that a distinct and sure knowledge of the facts
is not necessary to the discussion of a system of Govern.
meat, and so they occupied the attention of the House. Now
here let us point to a distinction, the neglect of which may
obscure the absurdity of this mode of proceeding. It
is true that when any important event has occurred, as
the loss of a colony, or even a formidable in-
surrection in a colony, or the loss of a ship of
war, or the like, the Parliament or the Executive, as
the case may be, is entitled to call for an explanation; and
if the explanation is not at hand, to proceed to judgment,
without delay. And why is this? Becauee in such cases as
are supposed, there is a fait accompli of sufficient magnitude
to interest the country, and a fact which is certain and
irrevocable, constituting what our law calls a corpus de-
&H. But the case is very different where the alleged
offence or injury is cumulative, and to be deduced from a
long series of facts, in themselves unimportant, innocent, or
indifferent. To put a man upon trial, or to call for
judgment upon him, without first clearly establishing
the whole chain of facts upon which you found
your charge, is plainly—first, to gratuitously make
a crime that may have no real existence, and then
impute it. In the case of a man on the spot thus
accused, there would be good ground for complain-
ing of injustice ; but the thing is perfectly monstrous when
the man is at the antipodes. However, Captain Fitzroy
found able and efficient defenders; and the waste of so much
breath, and the loss of so much time, have been the worst
eflect of Messrs. Buller and Aglionby's proceedings. These
gentlemen have lost nothing in any one's estimation for can-
dour and generosity—for a reason.

MONEY MARKETand CITY NEWS.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 151 per mine,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 54; and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows
that gold is 0.82 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgll, the price of gold is 436 per
mirk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10i; and
the exchange at llamburgh on London at short being 13 14,
it follows that gold is 0.79 per cent. dearer in London than
in Hamburgb.

SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE JUNCTION RAIL..
WAY.—This line having passed the Select Committee on
Standing Orders, we are informed it is the intention of
the Directors to proceed with the Bill, notwithstanding
the report of the Board of Trade, and that confident
hopes are entertained of its success. For this purpose a
special meeting of the Directors has been called for the
24th inst. at Sheffield.
THREE YEARS IN CONSTANTINOPLE ; OR DOMES-
TIC MANNERS or THE TURKS.—By Charles White,

able information imparted by these volumes. The mere
mention of the plan on which the work is constructed
will alone suffice to give an idea of its scope and useful.
ness. The bazaars and markets are divided into sections,
and each, with its wares, its occupants, its buyers and
sellers, its regulations. is considered separately and in
detail. This plan naturally leads to the questions of
trade, of indigenous produce, of corporate rules, of ma-
' nufactures, of social manners, and, in short, of all mat-
ters relating to the life of the commercial portion of the
people. Nor are the higher ranks overlooked ; the
Sultan, the ladies of the seraglio, the officers of State,
the grandees, are all faithfully described in their do.
mestic circles, and in their habits of daily existence. A.
three years' residence, a perfect knowledge of the Turk-
ish language, a daily intercourse with all classes of the
people, an access to sources of autheat;c and unadul-
terated information, an earnest and painstaking zeal to
elicit the truth in all his statements and alleged facts—
these ate the advantages which Mr. White has enjoyed
in the performance of his taik. His labours will obtain
their reward ; for we shall be much disappointed if this
work be not at once proclaimed the stacdard authority
on prpuler customs, insti'utions, practices, and daily life
in the city of the Sultan.—Court Journal.
STATE OF TuADE.—The demand for yarn con-
tinues very good; but the spinners being almost all under
contract, require higher prices, which have had some
tendency to limit the amonnt of actual business. In
goods there is not quite so much doing as Last
week ; but prices remain perfectly firm.—ltoennALE
FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MARCH 10.—The market
to day has been much the same as that of last Monday.
More buyers have attended; but they have purchased very
sparingly, at very low prices. The wool market has also been
flat, and the demand very limited, yet the old prices are fully
maintained.—Munchester Guardian.
THE WOOD PAVEMENT. The inhabitants of
Leadenhall•street have petitioned, and obtained leave, to
have the wooden pavement removed and granite laid down.
