The Executors of the Will, finding that the Property was only small, and complicated wiih Charitable Trusts, renounced probate thereof, and his Widow was obliged to take out Administration with the Will annexed. Being unequal in mind and body to the task of winding' up the Affairs, and performing the active duties apper- taining to her office, Mrs. Cluley was unfortunately in- duced to accept the proffered assistance of Mr. Winks, one of the Executors, who, although he had renounced the Executorship, yet expressed his willingness to do all in his power to serve her as a Friend. Mr. Winks was a stranger to her, but having been selected by her Husband as one of his Executors, she felt no hesitation in entrust- ing him with the Bank Book, and the Collection of the Debts, & c. For some time she had no reason to doubt his honesty ; but afterwards circumstances occurred, which, on being communicated to her Friends, led them to conclude that all was not right, and on investigating the Affairs, it was found that Mr. Winks had, unauthorisedly, abstracted all the Money out of the Bank, and appropriated it, and nearly the entire produce of the Estate, to his own use, and had also succeeded in surreptitiously obtaining about £ 260 belonging to Miss Cliiley, the Daughter ( a Young Woman of mild and inoffensive manners, and quite un- fitted to struggle with difficulties.) The Sum total thus obtained, and dishonestly appro- priated by him, is supposed to be about .£' 700 ; but as be made no entry of Payments in the Books, it is impossible to state the exact Sum. Mr. Winks has lately been made Bankrupt, and his Estate will not, ( it is calculated,) pay One Shilling in the Pound. Being unable to obtain his Certificate, he re- cently applied for his discharge under the Insolvent Debt- ors' Act, but being opposed on behalf of Mrs. and Miss Cluley, was remanded to Prison for Two Years, the Com- missioner observing that many Men had been sent out of the Country for offences of a less serious nature; and re- gretting that the law did not empower him to inflict a heavier punishment. Mrs. and Miss CLULEY, the Widow and the Orphan — are thus reduced from a state of com- parative comfort, to absolute penury and distress, and must remain so, unless this plain statement of facts — which is considered a sufficient appeal to the benevolent— be the means, through Divine Providence, of producing an amelioration of their unfortunate condition. Subscriptions will be received by Mr. EDW. VICKERS, of Millsands, the Treasurer; or at any of the Sheffield Banks.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now pre- sented to the public, 10,000 copies having been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly interesting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indifference, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health arid credulity of patients, has been encouraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors bayttfor a considerable time devoted them- selves exclusivity to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feel- ing that tact, in investigating the latent sources of many ' diseases, which arise from secret practices, can only be ' acquired by an exclusive and undivided attention to thii department of medical practice. The numberless in- stances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour is nowhere more appli- cable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person holds the relation of a parent, a preceptor, or a clergyman.— Sun, Evening Paper.

TI TO LADIES. HE ONLY GENUINE WIDOW WELCH'S PILLS are those prepared by Mrs. SMITHERS, ( Grand daughter to the Widow WELCH,) from the real Family Recipe, without the least variation whatever. This Medicine is justly celebrated for all Female Com- plaints, Nervous Disorders, Weakness of the Solids, Loss of Appetite, Sick Head Ache, Lowness of Spirits, and particularly for irregularities in the Female System. Mrs. Smithers recommends Mothers, Guardians, Managers of Schools, and all those who have the care of Females at an early age, never to be without this useful Medicine. The following is a recent and unsolicited testimonial to their good effects. 10th August, 1839.— Dear Madam,— Obligation and gratitude compel me to acknowledge the benefit that, with God's blessing, three boxes of your Widow Welch's Pills have been to my daughter, Mary Raynsford, seventeen years of age, all hopes beipg ready to expire relative to her recovery ; her illness was occasioned from taking cold, from being wet three years ago in the Hop Gardens, which terminated in the dropsy, and extreme weakness, and shortness of breadth ; but after taking three boxes of your more than valuable Pills, she is quite restored to health. I am, Madam, yours most respectfully, JAMES RAYNSFORD. Red Pale House, Dallington, Sussex. IMPORTANT CAUTION.- The medicine sold in the name of Kearsley, for the Widow Welch's Pills, is not the genuine; and as the public are greatly deceived by the advertisements put forth, Mrs. SMITHERS, the ONLY REAL PROPRIETOR and Possessor of the Recipe, Grand- daughter of the late Widow Welch, feels it her duty, not only in defence of her own and SOLE RIGHT, but as a protection to the public against every imposition, to declare HERSELF the ONLY PERSON entitled to the Original Recipe, or at all authorised to make or prepare the said Medicine. To put the fact beyond all doubt, and more fully to expose the conduct of persons who endea- vour to deprive her of her right, the reader is referred to the following AFFIDAVIT •.— First— That she is in pos- session of the ONLY original and genuine Family Recipe. .... Second- That this Recipe was handed down by the Widow Welch to her aunts Mary and Sarah Welch, and by them to her; and that these Pills are prepared by her from the real Family Recipe, without the least variation whatever Third— That she prepared them from her aunts Mary and Sarah Welch, before they were known or sold by Mr. Kearsley ; her aunts being infirm through age and sickness, rendered them incapable of preparing them.

LORD VISCOUNT MORPETH. ail.) AT a numerous and influential MEETING of Noble- men and Gentlemen connected with the West- Riding of the County of York, held at the Court House, Wakefield, on Wednesday, October 27th, 1841,— The Rt. Hon. the Earl FITZWILLIA M in the Chair J IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED, 1st,— That in order to testify the feeling entertained by this Meeting, of regret lor the loss sustained by the British Empire, and by the West- Riding of Yorkshire in particular, by the rejection of Lord Morpeth as a Repre- sentative in Parliament of that important District, and a high sense of the value of his public services, and the eminence of his private virtues, an Address be presented to his Lordship. Moved by Lord SCARBOROUGH, Seconded by JOHN PARKER, Esq., M. P. 2nd,— Resolved, — That the following Address be adopted :— 1 TO LORD VISCOUNT MORPETH. My Lord— If we had given utterance to our feelings at the mo- ment when the tie which had & o long bound you to us was severed our professions of attachment and concern might have been con- founded with the mass of panegyric and invective which a general election never fails to produce; but the struggle is now over; the excitement has died away; — party animoKities are forgotten in friendly intercourse;— and the time, we conceive, has arrived, when we may, with offence to no one, record in this solemn and deliberate manner, our esteem, our admiration, and our regret. ^ t would ill become us to condole with your Lordship on the late change in the representation of this Riding, or on the still more important change which has taken place in the government of the country. It is impossible, vi- e are well assured, that any such reverse should have found you unprepared. When you engaged in the tumult of parties and the cares of government, you were not ignorant of the fate which has in every age attended those who have laboured for the happiness of nations. You well lrnow how frequently the prejudices and partial interests ivhich exi- t in every large community are opposed to those who would serve it, and to what exertions and sacrifices mankind has been indebted for the victories of liberty and truth. You have, moreover, in this great turn of fortune, whatever siip- - , . port can be derived from the resources of a fruitful and highly cul- tivated mind ;- from the voice of an approving conscience; from the blessings of great masses of the people both in ( Jreat Britain and in Ireland;— from the regard of friends, whose esteem and affection are fixed, not only on the minister, but also on the man ; from the testimony borne even by opponents, to your ability, your humanity, and your honour; and above all, from the deep though unaffected tone of your religious feelings. To., you, therefore, we do not presume to olfer personal condolence, but we must be per- mitted to express our deep concern at the manner in which the connexion between you and your late constituents has terminated. The West Riding has ill performed its part. The place of the West Riding was not in the ranks of Monopoly. Here, if nowhere else, should have been found, combined with the power to pro- mote, the intelligence to comprehend, and the spirit to maintain, the great principles of commercial freedom. Here, if nowhere else, it should have been known, how much the activity of manu- factures and the enterprise of trade, contribute to the welfare of the proprietors and cultivators of the soil; and here we might have expected a practical manifestation of that knowledge. But delusion has triumphed; and we have only, by this public act, to disclaim our participation in that delusion, and lo avow our regret " that others have given theirsupport,— a support which, we cannot doubt, they will ere long see reason to deplore,— to a system alike hostile to the extension of our foreign commerce, and to the other great interests of the British empire ; and which, by counteracting the beneficent dispensations of Providence, is especially incompa- tible with the prosperity of this district. There is one point in which your Lordship will perhaps permit us to offer our council. On the day, when with grace, gentleness, and dignity, such as extorted admilation even from political opponents, you took your leave of us, we heard from your words which we trust are to be considered only as the expression of a transient feeling; which, though natural at such a time to such a mind, will yield, on reflection, to the sense of public duty. You declared that, having so long sat in Parliament as the representa- tive of this great Riding, you were then unwilling to accept a mission from any other constituent body. The day, we trust, will arrive when our dearest interests will again be confided to your immediate care; but your country cannot spare you even till that day. The uniteti, empire, suffering under a legislation which turns her most profitable customers, against their will, into her most formidable competitors, has a claim to your services. It will, be assured, be highly gratifying to ns to learn, that those talents and virtues which the greatest constituent body in the empire lias rejected, have been ju3tly appreciated and honoured elsewhere. And now, my Lord, with all gratitude for your long, your faith- fnl, your ill- requited services ; with all respect for your principles and talents; and with all good wishes for your happiness, and for the happiness of your Noble House, we, for the present, bid you farewell. Moved by Lord STOURTON, Seconded by JAS. G. MARSHALL, Esq. Srd,— Resolved, — That the Address be accompanied on its presentation by some durable Testimonial of the regard and esteem of Lord Morpeth's Friends, with which it may be preserved and transmitted to the future generations of his family. Moved by G. S. FOLJAMBE, Esq., Seconded by JOHN SMYTH, Esq. 4th,— Resolved,— That the Gentlemen who signed the Requisition for this Meeting, be a Committee, with power to add to their number, to make such arrangements as they may consider expedient for obtaining signatures to the Address. Moved by WM. BROOK, Esq., Seconded by WM. HATFIELD, Esq. 5th,— Resolved,— That a Subscription be entered into, and that the Committee be authorised to apply for Sub- scriptions to defray the expenses of carrying the Resolu- tions of this Meeting into effect. Moved by Sir FRANCIS L. WOOD, Bart., Seconded by F. GREENWOOD, Esq. 6th,— Resolved,-— That the Committee be empowered to convene Meetings at their discretion, of tho^ e who become Subscribers to the Fund for carrying the Resolu- tions of this Meeting into effect; also, to appoint the time, place,, ttnd manner of presenting the Address to Lord Morpeth, and to make these Resolutions known to the Public, when and as the Committee may think proper. Moved by G. J. SERJEANTSON, Esq., Seconded by F. H. FAWKBS, Esq. 7th,— Resolved,— That the thanks oi this Meeting be given to the Gentlemen who have called us together on the present occasion. Moved by W. B. WRIGHTSON, Esq., M. P. Seconded by J. W. CHILDERS, Esq., M. F. Lord Fitzwilliam having quitted the Chair, the same was taken by Lord Stourton. Resolved,- That the thanks of this Meeting be given to Earl Fitzwilliam for his kindness in taking the Chair, and for the great ability he has shewn in presiding. Moved by Lord HOWARD, M. P., Seconded by W. R. C. STANSFIELD, Esq WANTED, N the Office of a Land Agent and Accountant, a _ Steady, Respectable YOUTH, about 14 Years of Age, who can Write a good Hand.— For particulars, apply to JOSEPH KIRK, Corn Exchange, Sheffield, who takes this opportunity of thanking his Friends for the support they have hitherto given him ; and in soliciting further patronage as a Land and Building Agent, Surveyor, Ac- countant, and General Receiver of Rents, assures such as may employ him, that no exertion shall be spared on his part to secure the confidence of those who intrust him with the management of their Property.

HER MAJESTY.— On inquiry at the palace, we learn that, although her Majesty is slightly indisposed, yet the event in which the nation takes so much interest, is not so near as some of our contemporaries have represent- ed.— Chronicle, Friday. The extent to which the frauds of Mr. Smith have been carried, is now increased to £ 350,000, about .£ 60,000 of which is in the hands of the Treasury, so that the a mount known to be outstanding is about £ 3000,000. But whether this sum represents the whole, or half, or what portion of the full extent of fictitious paper in cir- culation, or that may be put out, it is impossible for any man to tell. The delinquent is said to be the son of the late Sir Sydney Smith. MONEY MARKET, Thursday.— The English Funds hove closed to- day at a decline of § per cent, since yesterday.

( Continued from the Sixth Page.) FIRST COURT. FRIDAY.— Before the Hon. J. S. WORTLEY, M. P., and JOHN NOBLE was charged with an assault upon John Beardshaw, with intent to rob him Sir G-. LEWIN for the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS for the defence. On the 4th of July, the prosecutor and his wife were on their way to Grimesthorpe, when they met the prisoner, who seized the prosecutor and shook him, and put his hand into his pocket. He, however, strug- gled and got away Cross- examined by Mr. Wilkins: I sat down to dinner at John Noble's last Sunday. I did not eat anything, but my mother and sister were there, and had a good dinner. There was a couple of good ducks .. Sir G. Lewin here interposed, that he did not think any Jury ought to convict a prisoner when the prosecutor had been dining with him on the Sunday pre- vious. He therefore consented to an acquittal. THOMAS W HALEY ( 31,) was charged with steal- ing a wheel- band, at Sheffield, the property of Henry Depledge, of Hkllam.... Mr. INGHAM for the prosecu- tion, and Sir G-. LEWIN for the defence. On the 5th of June, he left his wheel, and on returning on the following . Monday morning, found his band had been stolen. A workman in the same wheel had also ten dozen of blades stolen at the same time. On an early day in July, he found the band at Furnace hill wheel, ronnd the drum of Wha- ley's trough. The prisoner was not there himself, but his apprentice was there, and was working with the hand. Other persons worked in the same hull. ... The Court held that there was not sufficient proof that the band was in Whaley's possession, other persons working in the same hull, and there being no conclusive evidence that the person who was using the band was Whaley's ap prentice. The Court, therefore, directed the acquittal of the prisoner. JOHN BEIGHTON was charged with stealing, on the 5th August, table blades at Sheffield, the property of John I Elliott. Mr. INGHAM for the prosecution, and Sir G. LEWIN for the defence. In this case,- the prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Elliott, table knife manufacturer, and it was proved that he had sold a quantity of blades, of Mr. Elliott's manufacture, to a person named Parkinton, who resold them to a shopkeeper in Arundel street, named Shipley, having been hafted in a very common way. Mr. Elliott never sold such blades nnhafted, and never with hafts so common as those produced Sir G. Lewin elicited from the bookkeeper of Mr. Elliott, that the stock of blades was large, and that none had been actu missed. Sir Gregory, therefore, submitted, that as tnere was no proof that the prisoner was seen to take the arti- cles, and as they had never been missed, the case must fail,— there was no corpus delicti.... Mr- Ingham replied and the Court decided that the case must proceed. When the evidence had been completed, Sir Gregory renewed his objection, and Mr. Ingham replied there was sufficient proof that the prisoner must have had the blades from the premises of the prosecutor, and it was for the Jury to judge whether he got them honestly or not.... After a i long discussion, the Court decided that the case must go to the Jury Sir Gregory Lewin then addressed the Jury for the defence, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. Mr. PASHLEY called the attention of the Court to the case of Joseph and Ann Heeley, submitting that the case should be sent to York, as the point of law would arise whether a man and his wife together could be indicted. Mr. WILKINS opposed the motion. He said he could conceive it might be very convenient to certain parlies whom he had in his mind's eye, to remove cases to York, and increase the expense. But he said, that in this case the female prisoner was indicted as a single woman, with the knowledge that she was the wife of the male prisoner. They put herto the proof of her marriage, and then, when she had pleaded, and they had slept upon it for two days, they came with a proposal to remove the case to York. He ( Mr. Wilkins) maintained, however, that the prisoners must be tried before this tribunal, and he insisted that they should be tried here, and here alone. Nothing was better known to the Court and his Learned Friends, that that the husband and wife might be jointly indicted, if in were proved that the wife was not acting under the con- trol of her husband The Chairman said, it was needless to press the matter further; the prisoners must be tried here. The case of JOSEPH HAGUE, charged with stealing a horse at Barnsley, the property of John Schoiey, was re- moved to York. JOHN NOBLE, who had been acquitted on another charge, was charged with stealing from Vaughan's beer- house, at Grimesthorpe, a shoulder of mutton and a hand- kerchief. Sir G. LEWIN for the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS for the defence. The articles were al leged to be taken when the prisoner and others were drinking and larking at the house early one Sunday morning. The prisoner was seen to take the mntton, but on being told the prosecutor wanted it for his dinner, gave it up. The handkerchief he took away, and was found wearing it.— The defence was that it was a mere drunken lark, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. NATHANIEL MOREWOOD was found guilty of ob- taining, at Sheffield, 2i yards of white drill and other articles, the property of Mr. G. W. R. Hoy land, by false pretences, with intent to defraud him of the same.— Six months' imprisonment. JOHN MARSDEN pleaded guilty of assaulting, at Sheffield, Wm. Gregory and Joshua Strafford, officers of the Court of Requests, in the execution of their duty. .... The Chairman said, this was an offence of which it was quite necessary that the Court should take cognizance, for if violent resistance was to be offered to the officers of the law, it could not be executed.— To be imprisoned for one month, with hard labour, and then to enter into his own recognizance in £ 20, and find two sureties in £ 10 each, to keep the peace. RICHARD HOWARTH was charged with stealing, at Sheffield, a quantity of cotton tapes and other articles, the property of Mary Jackson. They were laid also as the property of Richard Hunt. Mr. WILKINS for the prosecution. Early in August, a traveller from a house at Hull, dealing in small wares, called on Mrs. Gould, in Porter street, who gave him a small order. About a fort- night after, a large parcel was brought by the carrier to the door, but it was so much larger than she had ordered, that she refused to take it. The prisoner called on her soon after to sell goods in the same line, when she told him of the parcel in the hands of the carrier, and he ad- vised her not to stir afoot after it. and she would be safe. He then went to the carrier's warehouse, enquired about the parcel, and saw it. He called a second time, saw another porter, and asked for the parcel, saying it con- tained a variety of small parcels for var ious persons. The porter, finding that he knew all about the parcel, let him have it, first requiring him to sign his name as having received it. He objected that his eyes were bad, on which the porter offered him a pair of spectacles, but he pre- tended they did not suit his eyes, and got the porter to write his name. He then took away the parcel, which had not since been heard of.... The prisoner entirely denied the statement of the witnesses. He strongly pro- tested his innocence, but was found guilty, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. JAMES BROOKES was charged with obtaining steel under false pretences, from Messrs. Elliott, of Gibraltar street, in the name of his employer, Mr. Jessop. Tfie steel was obtained by " means of a forged note ... Mr. Elliott stated that they always required notes by servants fetching goods, but the notes were sometimes written, not by the masters, but by clerks or peisons in their employ. — The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Chair- man, in passing sentence of three months'imprisonment, remarked that the practice of the prosecutors, in honour- ing notes of which they did not know the handwriting, afforded remarkable facilities for fraud. ROBERT WHITE and EDWARD RYALLS were charged with assaulting! and robbing Sarah Trotter, on the highway, at Sheffield, on the iOtli July. Mr Ovsa- END for the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS for the de- fence. She was going down Sheffield moor, between twelve and one o'clock, on the night in question, to fetch her husband home from the beerhouse, when seven or eight men met her, seized her, and carried her by the arms and legs into a bye- lane, a distance of forty yards. Two of the men were the prisoners. Ryalls put his hand up her clothes, and one of the men tore away her pocket, which contained some pawn tickets, money, and other articles. When they left her, she went to the beerhouse to her husband, and informed him. As they came away1 from the beerhouse, they met Ryalls and White. White was taken, but Ryalls escaped.... Mr. Wilkins urged that the prisoners had no intention to rob the woman, but were engaged in an indecent assault; and also questioned the evidence as to identity, on the ground that the woman's opportunity of observing was insufficient... . The Chair- man having summed up, and the Jury having considered their verdict, the Chairman informed them that they might find the prisoners guilty of the assault and robbery, or of the assault alone.... The Jury replied, that was their verdict. They found the prisoners guilty pf the as- sault, but not of the intent to rob. Each to be imprisoned two months. NATHANIEL SWIFT pleaded guilty of stealing boots and shoes, at Sheffield, the property of James Leg- gett. One year's imprisonment. BENJAMIN SLATER was charged with stealing iron scraps, at Rotherham, the property of Messrs. Knowles and Brown, of Rotherham, on the 8th October. Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution and Mr. WILKINS for the defence. After a long and able speech from Mr. Wilkins, the Jury acquitted the prisoner. SAMUEL RUSBY was indicted for disobedience to an order of bastardy, for which he was indicted at Ro- theiham Sessions. Mr. PASHLEY for the defence raised objections to the indictment, which, being found to be bad, was quashed. ROBBERY OF £ 125. JOSEPH and ANN HEELEY were placed at the bar, indicted for stealing from the person of Wm. Stead, twenty- five £ 5 notes, on the highway at Sheffield. Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS for the defence Win. Stead, of Broad lane, butcher, proved that on Sunday evening, the 19th of September, he was at the College chapel, Giossop road, with a person named George Barton. They left the chapel at eight o'clock and then went'to Flather's public house, in Broad lane, where they remained until ten. Having left there they were passing down High street, when they met Ann Heeley and another woman. With these women they went to the Queen, in Mulberry street, where the men treated the women with wine. From that place they went to Hamilton's public house, in West street, where the women were again treated— Heeley, by Stead, and the other wo- man by Barton. In that house Ann Heeley left the prosecutor's side for afew moments, and he then transferred the notes in question from his trouser's pocket to his fob. Five notes were in one end of a purse, with three sovereigns and 4 half sovereigns, at the other end, and the other 20 notes were rolled up together. The girls then proposed that they should go to the house of Ann Ward, hut the men de- clined. Ann Heeley went into Ann Ward's house, which is near, but Stead would not go with her. In a minute she came out again, and at her invitation Stead and Barton went with her and the other girl into a back lane, behind Car- ver street chapel. Up to this time he had his hand on his money. They came out of the back lane and went down West street, towards Holly street. There a watchman took the girl from Barton, and Heeley said to Stead, let me take hold of your arm or he'll take me too. They then returned to the back lane again, his money still being safe. They were about ten minutes in the lane and he missed his money, which he charged her withliaving taken, and laid hold of her. She said " Oh dear! oh dear 1 surely not." It could not have fallen from his pocket. The purse with the gold was left. Then came up Jos. Heeley and AnnWard. Jos. Heeley collared prosecutor, and said " I've seen you before.'' Stead desired him to go about his business, but the man dragged him towards Carver St., Stead keeping hold of the woman, and Joseph Heeley said, " Now, you must let her go." But Stead refused, and called George. Joseph Heeley said," What are you Georging al?" Barton came up, and Joseph Heeley pretended to be Stead's friend, and said he would go and seek the money. Ann Heeley begged for a chance, say- ing the money was on the ground, and if they would only go and look for it they would find it. Barton, Ann Ward, and Joseph Heeley, went to look for the money, leaving Stead holding the woman. Joseph Heeley came back, seized Stead, and set free the woman, who ran a short distance, bht Stead liberating himself, caught her again. Barton came up and called watch, and the woman wis given into custody. At first Heeley seemed tiot to know the woman, and pretended, in words to befriend the prosecutor, though he kept hold of Mm. Ann Heeley begged the watchman to give her a chance and look for the money. They went to look for it, but in vain. When the watch was called, J ph. Heeley and Ann Ward, made off. Ann Ward's house was searched, but nothing found. They then went to search Joseph Heeley's house, and found him in bed. He denied that he knew any- thing about it, but alterwards said he had been with them seeking the money. Cross- examined by Mr. Wilkins: Did not know whether it was a Methodist chapel; be- lieved it was. At Flather's, they were practising the Christ- mas hymns, and by way of proving all things, and holding fast what was good, they went the back lane. Having eli- cited from the witness that the fob of the trousers he had on was about the same size as the fob of his trousers on the night in question, Mr. Wilkins required him to go into the Jury box and exhibit his fob to them, which he did amid loud laughter in the Court. He denied that he went to Mr. Hamilton's the next morning to know if he had dropped his money there. He called there, but did not mention his money— he did not ask if he had dropped or left any paper money there. Mr. Wilkins called Mr. Hamilton into Court, add in his presence Stead repeated the denial.... Re- examined : Nothing was said by him at Hamilton's next morning, about what had passed the previous night... . George Barton, of Crookes, confirmed the evidence of Stead. It was about a quarter to twelve when they met Ann Heeley in High street. While Stead and Ann Heeley were in the lane the second time, Barton walked about in the street, wait- ing for Stead. The girl who had been with him had been taken from him before by a watchman. As they were bringing Ann Heeley to the watchhouse, he saw some bits of paper on the road, at the end of Holly lane. He was picking them up, when Joseph Heeley came up and said, " Hollo, what are you picking up? Some £ 5 notes ?" Barton said, " No, I am afraid not; they are what I'm seeking; you may take these." He gave them to Joseph Heeley, who took them, and when they search- ed his house afterwards, those pieces of paper were found on the table, and Barton identified them. Joseph Heeley had at first denied having seen them, and then said, " You gave them me." -.. Cross- examined by Mr. Wilkins— I am a labouring man, and married. I was with Stead the next morning at Hamilton's; he did not ask if he had left any paper- money there, or say anything about it. I asked about it, but Stead did not... - James Wilson, policeman, received Ann Heeley in charge, and confirmed that part of the prosecutor's evidence... . Edward Taylor, watch- man, also gave confirmatory evidence... . Mr. Wilkins, in addressing the Jury for the defence, warned them against ing prejudiced by the woman's unhappy position, and raised doubts as to the fact that the prosecutor ever had such a sum of money abouthim, and the improbability of the woman having emptied the purse, and restored the purse to his fob. He urged that the conduct of the male prisoner was compati- ble not with guilt, but with innocence; and dwelt upon the enquiries made about the money at Hamilton's, the next morning. The Chairman summed up very fully, and after pro- longed deliberation, the Jury acquitted Joseph Heeley, but found Ann Heeley guilty. In passing sentence, the Chairman remarked, the Court would have dealt more severely with her, but for the great temptation which the prosecutor's imprudence had offered.— Four months' im- prisonment. In the cases of Ralph Trotter, charged with embez- zling money, the property of Ann Chambers, his mistress; and Joseph Barber, charged with assaulting Joseph Sel- lars,— the recognizances were respited to Doncaster. The Sessions closed at 11 o'clock last night. Navy Island itself, As to the incutpjpon of M'Leod, not a particle of direct evidence has as( iyet beeu elicited to connect hiin with the expedition of tlte_ 29ih of Dec. The first witness examined, was the owner of the steamer, a Mr. Wells. He says, " Upon the 26th of December, I was on Navy Island for three or four hours. There were then about 250 men there. I saw ten or eleven pieces of cannon. The cannon were on wheels, some pointing to the British side. Van Ransellaer was there in command. I went from Schlosser in a sail- boat. I do not mean to say that I made a regular charge for passengers that day, but I received eight or ten dollars for passengers. I do not think 1 received anything for the freight of the cannon. I heard a good deal oi firing there. I saw Van Ransellaer. Mr. Chassin, and Mr. Flagg on the island. I had conversed with them before about coming down. I do not recollect whn was said about my compensation. I believe they said I could make money out of it. There was a " committee of thirteen" in Buffalo. It was an executive committee to aid the Navy islanders. Mr. Phelps acted as commissary, I believe Phelps was the one I conversed with about going down with the boat. There was a meeting at the theatre in Buffalo, which 1 attended. The declared object of the meeting was to assist the Navy islanders. The Govern- ment sent its proper officer ( the collector) to inquire what business the boat was engaged in. The collector did not refuse to let me go out. He said I might do what I did without violatiug any law. I might run to Navy Island, and carry arms and ammunition, but that I ran risk while I was in British water. And, finally, in reply to a ques- tion from the Attorney- General, Mr. Wells, says, ' I knew what would be wanted on Navy Island, and that was why 1 consulted the collector." It appears that Durfee was not shot till the expedition was returning to the Canadian side, making it most pro- bable that he was killed by one of his own friends. SECOND COURT. FRIDA y.— Before the Rev. H. B. COOKE, Chairman, and Lord HOWARD, M. P. GEORGE STORY was charged with stealing an ass, the property of William Faussett, Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution and Mr. HEATON for the defence. Found guilty. Four months. JOHN MATTISON was charged with felony. Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution. The prosecutor, John Issatt, is a labourer at Birkin, and on a Saturday, about middle of August last, he missed nine ducks, when he re- turned from his work in the evening. He afterwards found some dead ducks at the house of a man named Dodsworth. A girl who was passing, proved that she saw the prisoner, on the day in question, killing some ducks with a howe, on the premises of the prosecutor.— Guilty. Sentence deferred. ELIZABETH SIMPSON, [ 26,) was charged with receiving ducks of Mattison, the property of John Issatt, well knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution and Mr. HEATON for the defence. On the day subsequent to the stealing of the prosecutor's ducks, it was proved that after dinner the prisoner put some ducks into the oven to cook, and the constable going into her house and asking what she had in the pot, the pri- soner said she did not know. The Jury retired to consi- der of their verdict, and after the lapse of a considerable time returned into court with a verdict of not guilty. An- other Jury was sworn. HUGH BOYLE, ( 29,) was charged with assaulting Mary Ann Clay, at Rotherham, with intent her to ravish and carnally know. Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution. Th prosecutrix is a very little girl, and it appeared, on the 2nd of October, was attacked by the prisoner in a privy. She, however, screamed out, and in consequence of her cries a woman in the neighbourhood came to her assistance, and the prisoner was detected. He made an ingenious defence, but the Jury found him guilty, and the Chairman said, Hugh Boyle, the Jury have found you guilty of one of the most disgusting and atrocious crimes it was ever my lot to try, in this or any other court. The sentence of the court is, that you be confined in the House of Correction for the space of eighteen months, there to be kept to hard labour. WM. MARSH, ( 30,) was charged with stealing a pair of boots, at Ecclesfield, the property of George Crookes. Mr. OVEREND for the prosecution, and Mr. PASHLEY for the defence of the prisoner. The prisoner was sen- tenced to two months' imprisonment. JOHN MATTISON, convicted of stealing ducks, at Birkin, the property of John Issatt, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. The Chairman liberated the Jury in the second Court, at a quarter before four o'clock. REGISTRATION COURT AT ROTHERHAM. The circuit of the revising barristers for the West Riding, was completed on Monday, with the Rotherham district, when Mr. Hildyard and Mr. Robinson attended at the Court House, Rotherham, to revise the, list for the Rotherham district. There were a considerable number of new claims, and a great number of voters objected to on both sides. In the magistrates' room, where Mr. Hildyard presided, Mr. T. Badger, and Mr. T. S. Bad- ger, his son, attended on the Liberal side; and Mr. Alcock, of Skipton, for the Tories. In the other room, Mr. Edward Newman, of Barnsley, attended to support the Reform voters, and Mr. Alexander on behalf of the Tories. We are not aware that any new point was started, but the advocates of both parties had evidently been on the alert. John Warris, who claimed for land in the township of Kimberwortli, was opposed on account of his qualification being insufficiently described. The land, it appeared, was situated from 100 to 200 yards from any house in the township; and Mr. Hildyard told the claimant he ought to have inserted the name of the occupant of the land, or whether it was occupied by himself.— The vote was dis- allowed. John Needham, of Church street, Rotherham, who claimed for freehold house and land in Wellgate, was opposed. On his examination, it appeared that he had. been in possession of the property for 12 years, and held it by the gift of his father, without any title in writing. This was held to be fatal to his claim. John Jackson, jun., and Samuel Smith, who claimed as partners with Johu Jackson, Esq., of Canklow, in a freehold mill; and also as the occupants of certain houses and land in that district. It appeared that the whole was taken by Mr. Jackson the elder, before the claimants be- came partners, aud that Mr. Jackson was the only person liable for the payment of the rent. The votes of both the claimants were expunged, and Mr. Jackson said, that before another year, he would invest them with property which should give them a title which would be out of the power of any party to oppose. We are informed that the result of the revision for this district gives the Reformers a gain of at least 65 votes. NEW CLAIMS. ! STRUCK OFF. B. O. D. 1 B. O.

The proceedings of this momentous trial commenced at Utica, on Monday, the 4th of October, before Judge Gridley. The usual Judges of the Common Pleas were present, but took no part in the trial. Contrary to ex- pectation, the court, so far from being cowded, was barely tilled; but this is not very surprising, considering the distant issue of the trial, the investigation being expected to drag its slow length through 12, or even 14 days. The people of the town would have ample time to satisfy any curiosity as to the personal appearance of M'Leod, and the more distant sympathisers, even those most eager for the conviction of the prisoner, would most likely reserve their somewhat dangerous presence till the trial drew near its close. It does not appear what precautions were taken to secure the safety of the prisoner, but it is to be hoped that the apparent apathy that prevailed was not a snare for the authorities, M'Leod, who is described as a man of gentlemanly appearance, was perfectly self- possessed in bis demeanour. The New York papers are careful to state that " he was dressed neatly in a suit of black, and was wrapped in the simple folds of a blue cloak." The following are the names and occupations of the Jury, who were to try the case :— Charles O. Curtis, farmer, Paris ; Edmund Allen, physician, Augusta ; John Mott, merchant, Sangerfield i Elijah Brush, farmer, Rome; Ira Byngton, farmer, Camden; Win. Carpenter, Kirkland ; Isaiah Thurber, merchant, Utica; Peter Sleight, farmer, Westmoreland; Aslier Allen, farmer, Augusta; Seymour Carrier, farmer, Steuben; Eseck, Allen, farmer, Floyd; Volney Elliott, farmer, Kirkland. The Attorney- General for the district opened the case at great length, and the first witness examined was the owner of the Caroline, Wm. Wells, with whose evidence the first day's proceedings closed, but it was not till the second day, and after one or two witnesses had been called, that the depositions became interesting. Our ex- tracts below contain everything of importance :— At two o'clock ( Tuesday,) Judge Gridley again took his seat on the Bench, and the trial proceeded. The only point fully established by the mass of evi- dence published by the New York ' papers is, that the steamer Caroline was undeniably a pirate boat, and that the territory in the waters of which she was destroyed, had no more title to be regarded as " neutral," thanhad MARRIAGES.

The rate of wages has been only 2s. fid. a day, or 15s. a week. The plea offered by the agents for the redaction is, that the mines have become too impoverished to afford an adequate return. The inhabitants of Birmingham have successfully resisted the imposition of a church- rate of ( id. in the pound. The poll was kept up for six days, with unabated zeal, and at the close the numbers were for the rate, 626 ; against it, 7,281; the rate thus be- ing rejected by a majority of 6,655, i SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM INDEPENDENT. OCTOBER SO, 1841. WEST- RIDING SESSIONS. [ Continuedfrom the Third Page.] ISAAC OATES pleaded guilty of stealing, at Shef- field, four chickens, the property of George Powell. One year's imprisonment. * CHARLES NEEDHAM and CHARLES BUTLER were indicted for stealing table blades and forks, at Shef- field, the property of John Judge. Sir GREGORY LEWIS for the prosecution, and Mr. WILKINS for the de- fence of Butler. Sir G. Lewin briefly opened, and called James Knight, table knife cutler, of Rockingham street, who saw Charles Needham, on Tuesday, the 5th August. Knight was working for Charles Butler, when Needham called him out of the shop, and told him to bring his master's hat and coat. Needham then gave him six dozen of forks, and told him to take them to his master, at the bottom of Smithfield. He did not see where the forks were taken from, nor did he know then. He met Butler at the bottomof jj Smithfield, and gave him the forks. Needham came up with the hat and coat, which Butler put on, and both the prisoners went together up Smith- field William Booker knew Needham, who last August worked for Judge. On the 5th of August, be- tween three and four o'clock, he opened the shop door, and took from a drawer behind it a quantity of forks. As he shut the door, he dropped a fork, and stopped to pick it up. He saw the prisoner next in custody Cross- examined by Mr. Wilkins: Smithfield is 500 or £ 00 yards from the shop Win. Needham knew the prisoner Needham, and confirmed the last witness Cross- examined by Mr. Wilkins : The men at the shop sometimes work for themselves James Benn, publi- can, knew the two prisoners, who came to his house about four in the afternoon of the 5th of August, with 96 forks — three- prong scale tangs. Needham offered them for sale, asking lOd. per dozen for them. He borrowed 5s. on them. They were worth 10s. 6d. or lis. a gross. They were to come on Saturday night to redeem them John Judge, prosecutor, table- knife manufacturer, em- ployed Charles Needham in the beginning of August. On the 6th, he missed a quantity of forks out of a drawer. He had seen them on the previous forenoon. In the course of the evening after he had discovered the loss he went to the premises of Butler. ... Mr. Wilkins objected that this was another case..... Sir G. Lewin said, he was going to shew in the possession of. the two prisoners a large quantity of the property of Judge Mr. Wilkins then said, before this examination went on, he would recall Win. Butler.— He did not know how many forks he saw taken from the drawer. It might be 5 or 6 dozen, or more Sir G. Lewin said, he had no objection to concede the number. His course was this — .... Mr. Wilkins begged to state his objection.... Sir G. Lewin : I will save the trouble— I will abandon the first case...'. Mr. Wilkins: This was very candid when the case had already been got out; but he hoped the Court would not allow the second taking to be gone into Sir G. Lewin had given the facts as to one period of the day. In the evening of same day, the prisoners were found taking a larger portion of Judge's property; and he held he was entitled to go into the facts Mr. Wilkins: If this were a conspiracy, several transactions might be proved; but two felonies could not be proved in one indictment The Court- Sir G. Lewin must select which he would go upon Sir Gregory Lewin would prove the possession of the stolen property in the evening Mr. Wilkins held that Sir Gregory Lewin had already made his election, by going into one case, and could not now proceed with the other... . Sir G. Lewin urged that he was entitled to proceed, and prove the prisoners in possession of goods, the property of the prosecutor.... The Court asked if they were the goods traced from the taking in the afternoon? Sir Gregory Lewin did not know when they were taken, but should prove the prisoners in possession, and dealing with a quantity of knives belonging to the prosecutor in the evening Mr. Wilkins: Then his friend was clearly hors de combat, for it appeared he was going upon a dif- ferent sort of goods... . The Court decided that the indict- ment alleged a taking on a certain day. He had proved a taking on that day, and he must confine himself to the tracing of such goods.... Sir G. Lewin argued that he was still entitled to elect what portion of the case he had opened he would proceed upon ... Mr. Wilkins said Sir Gregory Lewin had not opened the further part of the case, and had practically elected by the evidence he had given.... Sir Gregory Lewin contended that he did open ' the whole, and the Court decided to allow him to proceed. -... Judge said, on the night of the 5th August, he went to Butler's premises, and on approaching the door, it was closed and fastened. Judge then looked out of the win- dow of his own room, and saw Butler getting over the reservoir wall. Needham was caught in the lane, having just dropped over the wall. Butler was found in the yard, and in the room of Butler, where the two prisoners had been, he found a clothes basket containing a quantity of blades, which he ( Judge) had an hour before left in his own room. He bad left in his own room 41 doz. and 10 blades, and he found in Butler's room, in the same basket, 21 dozen blades... Mr. Wilkins urged that this was clearly proved to be a disiinct felony... . The Court re- marked, there seemed to be no connexion between this and the former evidence Sir Gregory Lewin said he was called upon to elect. He had done so, and the former part was abandoned The Court was of opinion that there were two distinct offences, and after some discussion with Sir G. Lewin, decided to confine him to the taking of the forks Judge then proved that the forks which the prisoners had left with Benn were his property.... Mr. Wilkins submitted there was no evidence against Butler. It was clearly proved that Needham alone took the forks, and took them to Butler, at some considerable distance. He might have been indicted for receiving, or as an accessory after the fact, but he could not be an actor or assistant in the actual robbery Sir G. Lewin con- tended that Butler was near enough to assist, and the Court thought the question had better be left to the Jury. .. .. Mr. Wilkins cited a case in which the Judges de- cided, that a man merely at a distance, and assisting in the removal of property just stolen, could not, though cognizant of the robbery, be held to be a principal Sir G. Lewin argued that Butler was constructively pre- sent, but the Court, in accordance with the case cited, directed the acquittal of Butler, and he was discharged. . Needham then requested permission to put some questions to Judge, who was recalled. In answer to the questions of the prisoner, Judge denied that he had told the prisoner to take the forks for his wages; he said that he owed the prisoner no wages. He denied that he had told the prisoner he was in trouble— that he requested him to manage his business while he was out of the way, and to say to any person who enquired for him that he had left that place. He admitted he had not always paid the wages he owed, for the good reason that he had not the money. He proceeded at some length to cross- cxamine the prosecutor as to wages, and his dealings with him. When he had done, Judge said, " Will you allow me to have a word f" but the cryer put him back from the witness box, and the prisoner called Thomas Stead, to prove that, he, too, had been employed by Judge, and had had part of his wages kept back... In defence, the pri- soner addressed the Jury, alleging that the prosecutor, being in trouble, had applied to him in July to manage his business in his absence; that on the 5th August, Judge had instructed him to take some goods for his wages, and also to get away a quantity of blades that would he brought in from the grinder, and to keep them for him till he had settled his affairs.— The Chairman summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty ; and the Court, as he had been in custody for two months, sentenced him to be con- fined for three months more to hard labour. EDWARD ACKROYD was charged with stealing fowls, 011 the 12th Sept., the property of James Sayles, of Brammall lane Sir GREGORY LEWIN for the pro- secution. The fowls roosted in the cellar, of which the grate was put on the night before. About six in the morning, the prisoner was seen to remove the grate, catch two fowls that came up, and put them in his apron, with which he ran off. He was immediately pursued and taken, in Fitz-. William street, when some feathers were found on his waistcoat. The fowls were found in a passage past which the prisoner had gone. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and having been twice before in the House of Cor- rection, he was sentenced to be imprisoned for 4 months THOMAS BEARDSHAW, JOHN KNAPP, WM. HODGSON, and NATHANIEL HOBSON, were charg- ed with robbing the fowl roost of Mr. Joseph Nicholson, of Shire green, farmer, on the 28th June.... Mr. WIL- KINS, for the. prosecution, in opening, said, he should call a confederate of the prisoners, on whose testimony, if un- supported, it would not be safe to rely, but he should call other witnesses in support of it... Charles Dawson, of Blackburn, said, on the 28th of June, he met the prisoner Hobson in the Wicker. He had before known him. Hobson asked if he was going home. He replied yes, but he was not in a hurry. Hobson asked witness to re turn with him to Wood's beer house, where they staid till about nine o'clock, when Beardshaw and Wm. Hodg- son came in. They remained until eleven, at the beer house, and then went to Shire green. Knapp was at the door of the beer house when they came out, and went with them. They all stood at Mr. Nicholson's gates, and Hobson asked him to stop there while, they went on. They ( four) went towards the stack- yard, Dawson remain- ing at the gate. Hobson came and called witness, and took him to the corner of the stack- yard, fronting the house. He told witness to watch there if anybody came. The four then went to the hen raost. Hobson and Kr. app took the slates off the hen- roost and got in. Beardshaw got upon the pig- cote wall, and fowls were handed out to Beardshaw, who passed them to Hodgson, and he put them into a sack. The dogs began to bark and two men came out of the back door of the house, on which Daw- son ran away and saw the prisoners no more for a fort- night. Dawson had a very bad shoe on that night, the foot bursting through the leather Mary Nicholson, wife of the prosecutor, was waiting up for her husband, and was awoke about two in the morning by the dogs barking. She went up stairs and opened a window, when she heard a fowl screaming. She called the two farming men up, and went out, followed by one of the men. They found that the door of the hen roost was locked, but it had been entered through the roof, and all the ( owls, to the number of thirty, were gone. She knew Hodgson, Beardshaw, and Hobson, who are neighbours. She did did not know Knapp.. . Joseph Nicholson returned home about four o'clock on the morning in question. He ex- amined the premises and saw footmarks about the gate. One was of a person whose foot had hurst through the leiither of his shoe, and he traced it some distance on the way to Blackburn.... John Beardshaw, fork grinder, was at Shire green on the morning of the robbery, and return ing to Sheffield between seven and eight in the morning, met Hobson going from Sheffield towards Grimesthorpe, in the direction of the prosecutor's house. He had a bas- ket, and in answer to witness's questions he said he was only going to fetch two or three birds in. Witness met Beard- shaw and Knapp going in the same direction. When witness got to his work he found Dawson there, who gave him an account of the robbery, and named the persons connected with it... . John Newham, constable of Grimes thorpe, apprehended the prisoners. The Jury found all the prisoners guilty, and Mr. Wilkins said, that at the time Hobson was given into the charge of the constable, New- ham, he had been apprehended by a police officer, hiving in his possession a quantity of fowls of which he could give no satisfactory account. Beardshaw also pleaded guilty to a previous conviction. The Court sentenced Beard- shaw to nine months' imprisonment, and each of the other prisoners to six months', with hard labour. JOHN CARTLEGE and WM. CHARLESWORTH were indicted for stealing, at Sheffield a quantity of sheet lead, from a house, the property of Joseph Hudson. Mr. OVEREND for the prosecution; Mr. WILKINS for Cartledge, and Mr. HEATON for Charleswortb. Several new houses had been built by the prosecutor, up Glossop road, called Sandon place, and early on the morning of the 22( 1 of July, a person who slept in one of the. houses perceived that a quantity of lead had been stripped off the next and carried away. At an early hour of the same morning, a boy named Fredk. Holdensaw the two prisoner passing down the side of Mr. Brookfield's plantation, at no great distance from Sandon place, carrying something heavy in their aprons. He watched them through a stile and into a field, where they sat down on a bank. They then observed him watching, and drove him away by throwing stones at him, but before he went he saw them joined by two other men with a wheelbarrow. Soon after this time, Charlesworth and another man ( not Cartledge) were seen going towards Broomhall, by a man and his wife, named Beck. The other man carried something heavy under his apron, and Chariesworth walked with him. The man unknown made a false step, which caused his apron to slip aside, and Beck and his wife saw that he was carrying lead. In Hanover street they weie joined by two other men with a wheelbarrow, into which the lead was put. But the men becoming alarmed, ran away from the barrow and the lead, and escaped. More lead was found in Mr. Brookfield's plantation, and along with that in t e barrow in was found exactly to correspond in quantity, shape, and sort, with that taken from Mr. Hud- son's property... . Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Heaton address- ed the Jury at great length for the defence. The pri- soners were found guilty, and the Court sentenced Cart- ledge, having been convicted befere, to seven years' transportation, and Charlesworth to six months' impri- sonment. The Court sat till after seven o'clock. SECOND COURT. THURSDAY.— Before the Rev. H. B. COOKE, Chair- man, and J. C. ATHORPE, Esq. THOMAS LUMB ( 31,) was charged with stealing money at Rotherbam, from the person of Frederick Hainsworth, his property. Mr. STANHOPE for the prose- cution, and Mr. PASHLEY for the defence. The prosecu- tor and prisoner, it appeared, were drinking together at the Boot and Shoe public- house, on the evening of the 25th October. They were in a room, together, and the prosecutor fell asleep, and when he awoke, found that iiis money, which consisted of two sovereigns and two half- crowns, had been taken out of his pocket. Womack, the constable, went along with him in search of the pri- soner, to the White Hart, where they found the prisoner, and Womack searched him, and found upon him £ 1.14s. in silver. The prisoner was then taken into custody.. . In cross- examination by Mr, Pashley, the prosecutor stated that he and the prisoner had been tramping together in search of work, for three days, and called at various pub- lic- houses, where lliey had been drinking together- The prisoner was drunk and asleep when they found him at the White Hart. Never heard a word against the prisoner's character before.... Womack stated that he went with the prosecutor to the White Hart, where they found the prisoner drunk in the house, and witness charged him with stealing the prosecutor's money, and he said he had no money about him. He took him into another room, and said to the prisoner, if he ( witness) found any money upon him, would it be his own? The prisoner said it would not. After the prisoner was committed, Dr. Wilkinson came to see him at the gaol, and the prisoner told him he h id taken the money, but intended to have returned it, and did not think the prosecutor would have served him so, Mr. Pashley addressed the Jury for the defence, and called a man named Walker, a neighbour of the prisoner, at Greasbro', who is a shopkeeper, and gave the prisoner a good character. He had frequently left the prisoner alone in his shop, when he had had a sup of drink, and never missed anything...- The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the Jury were of opinion that he had taken the money, but not with the intention of stealing it, and returned a verdict of not gniltv. ROBERT BRIDGET, of Chesterfield ( a prisoner not in the calendar,) was charged with stealing a quantity of fowls, the property af William Johnson, of Duckmanton. Mr. INGHAM for the prosecution, and Mr. HEATON for the defence The prosecutor stated that, on the morning of the 13th of the present month, he missed 18 fowls from his premises, part of which he had seen the day before. On the 20th instant, lie saw eight of the fowls at the Town Hall, in possession of Mr. Bland, the constable. He came to Sheffield inconsequence of seeing a band- bill.. .. Joseph Fox, fishmonger, stated that he knew the prisoner, who is a licensed dealer in game, liv- ing at Chesterfield. On Friday, the 15th instant, about seven o'clock in the evening, the prisoner arrived by Smith's coach with some hares. He had been in thehabit of sending game. He said he had four couples of, fowls and four couples of ducks, but witness said he did not trade much in them. The prisoner asked to leave them at his shop till he went to try to sell them. Mr. G. Wild, assistant constable, came and went with the hamper down to the George Inn Cross- examined by Mr. Heaton— Had always found the prisoner an honest man. Would have trusted him to any amount in the ' way of trade.. . Thomas Sammon, assistant of Mr. Fox, stated that he went down to the George Inn, and assisted the prisoner to carry the hamper thence to Fox's shop. He subse- quently assisted Wild to take it back. He left it in the passage of the public house, and it was removed into the cellar.... Win. Bland, constable, went to the George Inn, on Friday, the 15th of October. There were eight ducks and eight fowls inside. He and Mr. Wild ordered the hamper to be taken into the cellar, and kept there till they called again. On the following morning, they re- moved it to the Town Hall. They subsequently appres- hended the prisoner, and asked him if he had not brought some fowls and game to Sheffield. He said he had brought some game, but no fowls. He afterwards said he had, and had bought them of a band- spinner, at Chesterfield. He was brought before the Magistrates on the Tuesday, but bailed out to appear again when called upon. The prosecutor came on the Wednesday, and identified the fowls, and the prisoner was again apprehended on that day.. .. Cross- examined by Mr. Heaton— He was let out on his own undertaking. The fowls in the possession of the constable were identified its part of the fowls stolen from the prosecutor's premises Mr. Heaton addressed the Jury for the defence, and called Robert Timms, wood turner, of Chesterfield, who gave the prisoner a good cha- racter, and stated that he was in company of the prisoner at the Spread Eagle, where they had a money club meet- ing on the night of Tuesday, 12th October, till one o'clock in the morning Robert Else, who keeps a stall in the Chesterfield market, stated that he saw Valentine Wilkinson standing behind Bridget's stall, which is near witness's stall, in the market. They were talking about some fowls, and he ( the prisoner) had some conversation about buying fowls. He stated what he had given for the fowls. Met in the same club as the prisoner, who was fresh when he left the Spread Eagle at one o'clock in the morning.... Ann Smith, next door neighbour of the pri- soner, gave hiin a good character.... Charles Cotterill, inspector of police at Chesterfield, had made all the en- quires he possibly could to find Valentine Wilkinson, to bring him to the Sessions, but had not succeeded— Mr. Ingham replied to the evidence for the dpfence, and the Jury returned averdictof not guilty— There was another indictment against the prisoner, arising out of the same transaction, but no evidence was offered, and a verdict of acquittal was taken. GEORGE LINLEY ( 19,) was charged with stealing three tame rabbits, at Greasbrough, the property of John Walker--- Mr. PASHLEY for the prosecution. Itappeared that on the night of the 4th September, the prosecutor's son was feeding the rabbits at about eleven o'clock. The prosecutor keeps a beerhouse, and the prisoner was drinking there. In the morning, they found the rabbit house had been broken open. Next day, he and Womack went to the prisoner's house, at Sclioles, and there found the skin of a rabbit, and also some rabbits' flesh on a dish in the house. The skin was produced and identified by the son of the prosecutor .. The prisoner's defence was, that he purchased the rabbits.— Guilty. One month.* ROBERT BAINES ( 30,) indicted for receiving from Joseph Parkin, a gold watch, at Sheffield, the property of John McTurk, knowing it to be stolen, was discharged, no evidence being offered against him. RICHARD GILLOTT ( 25,) was charged with steal- ing razors, at Sheffield, the property of Wm. Revitt. Mr. ROEBUCK for the prosecution, and Mr. HEATON for the defence. It appeared that during the night of the 17th of Sept., the prosecutor's warehouse, in Meadow street, was broken open, and from eight to ten gross of razors were stolen. Some of the razors were marked " Curvin," and some were marked " Revitt." Edwin Boothroyd, cut- ler, stated, that on Sunday morning, the 19th of Sept., he was passing the cellar window of an unoccupied house, in Daisy walk, and observed a white- handled razor in the cellar. On looking farther, he found a quantity more, and immediately gave information to the police... . Cross- ex- amined by Mr. Heaton: The prisoner lives next door to the house in question.. - Matthews, policeman, stated, that in consequence of information from the last witness, he went and searched the house in question, and found a quantity of razors under a sink in the cellar, and on look- ing farther, and opening the window shutters, he found the prisoner. Witness asked what he was doing there P He said he was come to do a job for himself. He searched him, and found in his pocket a knife and a box of lucifer matches... . Cross- examined by Mr. Heaton: The grate was off, and the panes of the cellar window, which had been glazed, were broken, and the casement was open... Isaac Bradwell, a workman of the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner and a man named " Curly," passed the ware- house at about five o'clock in the evening, and " Curly" asked if George Ibbotson worked on the premises.... Mr. Heaton then addressed the Jury for the defence, and a a verdict of not guilty was returned. CHARLES SMITH ( 19,) pleaded guilty of stealing soap and other articles, at Sheffield, the property of John Banks.... The Chairman remarked, that it was not in consequenoe of his plea of guilty that the Court was dis- posed to pass a very lenient sentence, but in consequence the very excellent and irreproachable character he had borne previous to this transaction, and in the hope he would take warning, and use every effort to regain his re- putation. To be discharged at the rising of the Court. LUKE CHARLESWORTH ( 34,) was charged with stealing steel files, the property of John Spencer. The prisoner is a file cutter, and on the night of the 11th of July, the prosecutor's shop was broken open, and a quan- tity of files were stolen. Some pieces of files were found in the shop where the prisoner worked, which were iden- tified by the prosecutor, from the name " Spencer" stamped upon them, and the corporate mark, the half- moon and Z, as also from their being in an unfinished state.— Guilty. Four months. WM. WOOLFIT, aprisoner not in the calendar, was charged with stealing 301bs. of lead, the property of John Wilson and others. Sir G-. LEWIN for the prosecution. It appeared that at about a quarter before two on the morning of the 24th of October, the prisoner was seen coming out of Westfield terrace with a bundle under his arm, by Watson, the watchman in that district. Watson went towards the prisoner, who commenced running, and turned on Carver lane. The watchman sprung his rattle, and the prisoner dropped the bundle, andCarson and an- other watchman came up, and picked up a part of the lead which had been in the bundle. The prisoner was subsequently apprehended at his own house. The roof of Mount Zion Chapel was examined, and it was found that a quantity of lead had been cut away. The lead found on the prisoner was compared with the lead left on the roof, and they were found to correspond. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and there having been a previous con- viction, the Court sentenced him to be imprisoned three months. JOSEPH TAYLOR ( 23,) was charged with stealing brass, at Sheffield, the property of Wm. Porter. Mr. PICK- BEING for the prosecution, and Mr. PASHLEY for the defence. It appeared that on the 23d of Sept., the pri- soner, a workman of the prosecutor's, was working in the shop, and John Bage, a fellow- workman, seeing something in his jacket gocket, which was hanging in the shop, gave information, and the prisoner was apprehended. Part of the brass was identified by the witness, Bage. Several witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner a good cha- racter. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. THOMAS WOODHOUSE was charged with obtain- ing goods under false pretences, the property of Henry Unwin, steel merchant. Mr. ROEBUCK for the prosecu- tor. On the morning of the 17th of Sept., the prisoner came to his warehouse, and asked for a bundle of steel for Mr. Joshua Perkington, for whom the prisoner, being in Mr. Perkington's employ, had frequently fetched steel.— On the following Tuesday, the prosecutor applied to Mr. Perkington for payment, when he found that the prisoner had not been sent by him. ... Mr. Perkington was called, and proved that he never sent the prisoner or any other person to the prosecutor for steel on the day in question.— Guilty. One month. JOSEPH PERKS ( 18,) and J PH. PARKIN ( 22,) were charged with stealing mutton, at Sheffield, the pro- perty of Isaac Naylor.— Pound Guilty. There being a previous conviction against the elder prisoner, he was sentenced to be imprisoned three months, and Perks two months. The Court adjourned at about seven o'clock. [ Continued in the Fifth Page.] told them on Sunday night, about seven o'clock, when he came and took away with him a bundle of clothes.... John Timms, watchman, stated that he was on his beat on Saturday and Sunday night, the 16th and 17th inst. He accompanied Darnelly and Hague to Denton's house on Monday morning, the 18th inst. Darnelly asked if John Rose lodged there. Mrs. Norman said, no; he had left there on the Wednesday before. He had been for his clothes on the Saturday night, and she ( Norman) had not seen him since Darnelly was next called, and stated that he and last witness, with Hague, went to Denton's at half past one o'clock on Monday morning, the 18th inst. Mrs. Norman came to the door, and he asked her if George Denton was in. She said, he was. Witness asked if John Rose lodged there. She said, he did not He had left there on Wednesday previous, and had been on Saturday, at about seven o'clock, to fetch his clothes away. Witness asked if Rose could have slept there with- out her knowledge, and she replied that he could not. Joseph Hague was also examined, but was not so clear in his statement as the other two witnesses. In answer to questions from the magistrates, Mrs. Hancock again stated, that she had not the least doubt as to the identity of either of the prisoners. This was the sixth time her house had been broken open. The prisoners, after some conversation as to whether they should he seut to the ses- sions, which had then commenced, or to York, were at length committed to take their trial at the assizes. ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. DANGEROUS NUISANCE IN FARGATE. HEMSWORTH PETTY SESSIONS. THURSDA Y.- Before W. J. BAGSHAWE, and JOHN MEYNELL, Esqrs. Joseph Fearnehough, of Dore, applied to the bench for a warrant to get possession of a cottage house and garden at that place, in the occupation of John Linley. Mr. Gainsford appeared for Eearnehough, and produced a copy of a will, wherein it was clearly shown that the property in dispute belonged to Fearnehough. Linley stated, that he considered it to be his own,— though he had paid rent for about thirteen years; and that about eight years ago, some person had told him it was his : since that time he has paid no rent. However, the Magistrates were not of the same opinion as Linley, and granted the warrant to give Fearnehough possession. John Taylor, of Dronfield, was charged by Mr. Robert Ward, of that place, chemist, with trespassing in his field, and stealing a quantity of green clover. Mr. Saml. Lucas and his sou were on their way home to the Boshaw Farm, on the night in question, and caught Taylor in the fact, and requested him to go with them to Mr. Ward's, which he refused to do. However, after feeling the effect of Mr. Lucas's stick, he considered it advisable to comply. Mr. Ward did not wish to be severe with the man, or the Magistrates would have committed him for two months. He was ordered to pay the costs, promising not to offend again. John Mather and Sidney Marsden, both of Troway, were charged by Sir George Sitwell's keepers with cut- ting underwood in a wood at that place, the property of Sir George. Mr. Stevenson, of Coal Aston, woodman, caught them in the fact, and they offered to pay him the damages.— They were ordered to pay the value of the wood and the costs. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE INDEPENDENT. STK,—. The premises in Fargate, lately occupied by Mr. Whitaker, the publisher of the Iris, and others, are in so exceedingly dangerous a state, that unless something be speedily done, it is probable that serious injury, if not loss of life, will ensue to some of the persons passing on the street. It appears to be the intention of the proprietor take them down, and this has been partially done, by takingoutthe doors, windows, floors, & c., leaving nothing standing but the shell of the building, which is of itself sufficiently dangerous ; but, what I wish to draw particu- lar attention to, is the state of the roof. The ridge, and a great part of the slates, seem only to require a breath of wind to send them down on the heads of people passing^ It appears from what took place at the meeting of the Commissioners of Police, last week, that they have no power to interfere in such cases, and there is probably no law to compel the removal of that of which I complain ; but I trust when the attention of the proprietor has been drawn to the case, that he will at once take such steps as will prevent the possibility of injury to the public from the cause complained of. If you can afford space for the in- sertion of this in your paper on Saturday, or if not, will have the goodness to notice it in some prominent way, you will oblige, Sir, Yours, & c., ONE OF THE PUBLIC. October 21, 1841. [ The slates were tried, last week, by rather more than a breath of wind. We do not know whether any of them have fallen.] LITERARY NOTICES^ J COURT HOUSE, ROTHERHAM. MONDAY.— Before Col. FULLERTON and HENRY WALKER, Esq. George Armitage, of Whiston, was charged with an assault, by Thos. Ellis. The parties are neighbours, and the complainant stated that the defendant came into his house and charged him with abusing his wife, which he denied, and was about to go into defendant's house to ask his wife whether the charge was true, when Ellis struck him over the head. He went into Ellis's house, and was again struck by him. For the defence, Ellis stated, that he merely pushed Armitage out of his house, and called a witness in proof of his statement. The case was dis- missed. THE BRAMPTON BURGLARY. — Henry Wilson and IFilliam Hose were again brought up, charged with the burglary at the farm- house of Mrs. Sarah Hancock, of Brampton. Mr. Joseph Badger, after tracing the evidence previously given, called Mrs. Norman, who stated that on Saturday night, the 16th instant, she was sitting up with the two children of her daughter, at Geo. Denton's. They were ill of the typhus fever, and she had waked with them four nights before. John Rose slept there that night. He and Abraham Parr slept together in a chamber over the house. George Denton and his wife slept in the parlour, and witness and the children on a temporary bed in the kitchen. When Rose came in, he brought some ale with him, and gave witness a pint. Witness had never said to any body that Rose did not sleep there that night. He had slept at Denton's near a fortnight, and never been out one night during that time. Did not know where he slept on Sunday night, the 17th instant, nor on Friday night, the 15th. About a quarter before two on Monday morning, the 18th instant, some constables came and asked if John Rose was there. Witness said, no They then asked what time he went away, and wiraes. MANCHESTER AND SHEFFIELD RAILWAY. The progress made on the Manchester and Sheffield Railway at this end of the line will enable the directors, we understand, to throw it open from Manchester to the viaduct over the turnpike road at Godley toll- bar, a dis- tance of eight to nine miles, in the course of a few weeks only from the present time. Indeed, all that is want- ing to complete this portion of the railway is a short portion of the embankment necessary to form a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham line, at Chancery lane; over which line, it is well known, they are to run as far as the station in Travis street, and ultimately to the splendid new joint station of the two companies in London Road. The portion of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway about to be opened traverses a district studded with populous manufacturing towns and villages; and amongst them we may mention, as the most important, Gorton, Openshaw, Audenshaw, Hooley Hill, Fairfield, Ashton- under- Lyne, Stalybridge, Dukinfield, Tintwistle, Hollin- wood, Newton, and Hyde. From its junction with the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Chancery lane, the line runs on a considerable embankment for about a mile and three- quarters, where it enters a cutting at Openshaw, and passes under the Stockport Canal, a little distance from Messrs. Orrell's factory, and under Lee street; from thence it passes, with a few exceptions of fillings hardly worth mentioning as embankments, through cuttings or upon the surface of the ground, the whole re- mainder of the distance ; so that it may be presumed there is little likelihood of any interruption after it is once open- ed from slippings, settlings, or other accidents to which embankments are liable. The embankment we have mentioned at the Manchester end of the line has, with the exception of the small portion of the junction referred to above, been formed a considerable time; the permanent rails have been laid down, and locomotive engines and heavily laden waggons have been running on for some time, so that it may be said to have settled down, and its permanency, solidity, and safety are placed beyond doubt. The first station on the line is the Fairfield station, at the head of Gorton reservoir. The station for the accommodation of Ashton is established at Guide Bridge, about three- quarters of a mile from the new church; and this station will also accommodate the traffic with Hooley Hill station, situate at Dog lane, near Dukinfield Hall. The line passes through " the township, and traverses the extensive coal fields of Messrs. Swire and Lees, and of the Dunkirk Coal Company. The sta- tion here will be the point also at which the traffic of Stalybridge and neighbourhood must come upon the line. The next station is Newton Green, established for the con- venience of the populous townships of Newton and Hyde. The next station is at Godley, on the Mottram and Hyde turnpike road, for the present the terminus of the line; and here the traffic of Tintwisle, Hollinwood, Glossop, & c., will come upon the line, and arrangements have been made by which the Sheffield coaches and carriers will meet the trains there, for the accommodation of the " through" traffic. The works, most worthy of notice on the line, are the three viaducts, the Dukinfield, Harewood, and Etherow ; the latter of which, though nearly completed, is on a por- tion of the line not included in that about to be opened. The Dukinfield or Tame Valley viaduct is a handsome brick erection of five arches, each of considerable span, crossing the river Tame, and exhibits the appearance of a firm, substantial piece of masonry. The viaduct at Godley is of nine arches, one of which crosses the Mot- tram and Hyde turnpike. The Etherow viaduct is an erection of three lofty and beautiful arches, with stone piers, crossing the river Mersey. The centre arch is of 150 feet span, and the other two are of 120 feet each. The gradients on this line, though the railway passes through a country offering many natural obstacles, and where it might be imagined that considerable inclines could not be avoided, are very favourable ; the greatest inclination being 1 in 100, or less than the principal one on the Manchester and Liverpool line - ( the Sutton incline being 1 in 89;)— and this incline is only 64 chains in length; the other gradients between Manchester and Godley being respectively, 1 in 132, 1 in 330, 1 in 176, 1 in 193, 1 in 140, and 1 in 511, while some portion of the line runs on a dead level. The working department is almost in complete readi- ness. The locomotives are said to be of a very powerful description, and well fitted for the heavy trains which may be expected to traverse the line. The carriages are of three classes; the first- class carriages are of the same construction as those used on the Grand Junction Rail- way ; the second are of a description which have not yet been introduced into this part of the country, and known only to our northern travellers who may have traversed the Glasgow and Greenock Railway. The third- class are " stand- ups" of similar construction to those used by the Manchester aud Birmingham, and now running be- tween this town and Stockport.— Manchester paper. AN ACCOUNT OF THE SETTLEMENTS OF THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY, FROM PERSONAL OBSERVA- TION, DURING A RESIDENCE THERE, BY THE HON. H. W. PETRE. London : Smith and Elder, Cornhil! 8vo. pp., 87. This is a most interesting little work, relating to the most recent and most successful of all the British Co- lonies. Most of our readers are aware that in the autumn of 1839, a considerable body of settlers departed under the auspices of the New Zealand Company, for Port Nichol- son, a splendid harbour on the northern shore of Cook's Strait, in New Zealand. Mr. Petre was one of this en- terprising body; and we have here a personal narrative of the events of the first year of the settlement. As the tes- timony of an eye- witness of rank and character, it is inva- luable, and the author bespeaks our confidence when he tells us at the very outset that he is here only as a visitor — that the colony is still his home— and that he intends to return thither in the ensuing year. We shall now indulge our readers with a few extracts, warning them, however, that if they have the slightest interest in the colony, or curiosity respecting it, they should possess themselves of the work itself. EARLY SUPPLIES. " It has been frequently stated in some of the newspa- pers of New South Wales and of this country, that the first settlers at Port Nicholson suffered great privations, and even sometimes were in want of food. There never was the slightest foundation for such statements. From the hour of our landing at Port Nicholson, in February, 1840, to that of my departure, in March last, we were amply supplied with provisions. The Company's impor- tations of flour were large and regular, and trade with the natives furnished us with such abundance of fresh pork and potatoes, that we never had to depend upon salt pro- visions : cattle and sheep were brought to us from Neiv South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, and latterly fresh meat was constantly » n sale at the following prices :— Beef and mutton from 8d. to Is., and pork from 4d. to 6d. Milch cows were sufficiently numerous to afford milk and butter for constant sale. Poultry and eggs were scarce, and of course dear. Fish taken in the harbour, of great variety and excellent quality, was at all times abundant. I firmly believe that there never has been an instance in which the wants of the founders of a colony were so amply supplied from the beginning. DISPOSITION OF THE NATIVES. " The principal danger to which it was imagined in this country we were exposed, was the hostility of tin; natives. Most of us had made anxious inquiries on this subject be- fore we embarked, and our conviction was, that we should be received as friends by the natives, if our conduct to- wards them were just and friendly. Our most sanguine expectations were, completely realized. Our numbers, indeed, astonished them, and they used frequently to ask whether our whole tribe, meaning thereby all the people of England, had not come to Port Nicholson. It is pro- bable, also, that they were overawed by our obvious su- periority to any physical force that could have beer, brought against us in case of disputes. But, however this may be, they received us in the most friendly man- ner. Their sei vices for all sorts of purposes were always at our command for a moderate remuneration. We em. : t ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES.— A rowing match took place on Monday se'nnight, and as the winners, named Coombs and Goodrum, were returning in the evening, they were asked by a person whom they met, if the body of Mrs. Coombs had been found ; shocked at the query, they eagerly enquired its meaning, and were, for the first time, made acquainted with the painful intelligence, tint both their wires, together with a younger sisterof Coombs' and his infant child, had gone in a boat to witness the match, and on returning, the boat in which they were was upset, and the whole of them drowned. The feelings ofthe poor fellows at thus suddenly learning the unhappy termination of the day's amusement, may be better con- ceived than described. ployed them chiefly in shooting, fishing, hunting, cutting fire- wood, and, as I have said before, building houses. At first they were content to be paid with fond only. By degrees their wants increased, and they required various goods, such as tobacco, clothing, and hardware. All this took place at our first squatting settlement on the banks of the Hutt; latterly after the bulk of the settlers were established at Wellington, the natives had begun to re- quire money wages in return for their labour. A similar change took place with regard to trade. At first all our exchanges with the natives were made by barter only, but long before my departure, they had begun to comprehend the use and value of money. This knowledge at last, ex- tended in some cases to the regular employment of our currency. One native resident at Wellington purchased a horse which had been imported from New South Wales, and used to let it out for hire ; and another had an ac- count with the Bank. Great numbers were in posses- sion of money, which they usually carried about with them in a handkerchief tied round the neck. During the first months of our intercourse with the natives, they usually carried muskets, but apparently from mere habit and not on account of any fear of violence from us. We never carried arms, and the custom has now been quite abandoned by the natives of Port Nicholson. The best proof, however, of their own feeling of security is, that they are gradually destroying the stockade defences of their villages. Not that they ever feared, probably, that we should attack them, but they feel that our presence is a perfect security against aggression from distant and hostile tribes. It s ernrd to me that the whole character of this people were undergoing a rapid change ; that they had sufficient intelligence to perceive the advantages of conciliating the settlers by orderly conduct, and of adopt- ing our usages ; and that in all probability the next gene- ration will, to a great extent, amalgamate with the colo- nists. It is a pleasure to be able to state that the beha- viour of the colonists generally towards the natives has been signally praiseworthy." SUMMARY OF PROSPECTS. " The country certainly possesses every natural capa- bility for a Series of rich and flourishing settlements:- Of the singular excellence of the climate- of the richness of the soil— of the great fecundity of animal life— of the abundance and variety of the resources of the islands, not a doubt is entertained by those whose opinions rest on experience. The mode of colonization adopted by the Government at home, insures, if fairly carried out, a regular increase of labour, in due proportion to the in- crease of capital and private property in land. For car- rying out this system, the Government has adopted as its principal instrument, a private company, for whose pru- dence and energy the past furnishes a guarantee, and whose interests are identical with those of the colony it- self. The revived spirit of English colonization seems to direct its chief force on the " Britain of the South ;" and it may be safely presumed that what has been already done in this work, remarkable as it is, considering the short time employed, will appear insignificant on being compared with the proceedings of the next few years. For my own part I will conclude as I began, by saying, that the best proof I can give of the sincerity of my opi- nion as to the bright prospects of New Zealand as'a co- lony, is the fact of my being but a sojourner here, prepar- ing to return to the place of my former residence in New Zealand." Mr Petre's little book is illustrated by an excellent map and two plates; and from the manner in which the publishers have performed their part, it is a gem for the drawing table of all who have any interest in New Zea- land, or who desire any information respecting it.

The present volume contains a selection from the best engravings published by Messrs. Fisher; and they have culled the beauties with such taste, so well combining the charms of association, contrast, variety, (-^ and every source of interest, that although, to prove our- selves faithful critics, we are bound to find some fault, yet we are at a loss to do so. We could almost pity Mrs. Howitt, that her sweet verses should be thrown into the shade, by the beautiful engravings of which they are the humble companions. She meekly chaunts her lays to in- attentive ears, content to catch a secondary notice, when the eyes are sated with the glowing beauties of the rival irt Many, perhaps, will be prone to overlook the attend- nt minstrel, and yet her verses are replete with poetry, Sid noble sentiments, and beautiful imagery. We quote her verses on Mahommed Ali:— The wisdom of the old Egyptian sages Had sealed that pyramid's remotest chamber, Where, wrapped in linens steeped in musk and amber, The Pharaoh slept within his tomb of ages. 61 The Pharaoh woke—( t Wherefore is this awaking? To whom hath this mysterious chamber yielded f I saw the bricks burnt wherewith it is builded— What means the light which o'er mine eyes is breaking ? " What mean the words winch I hear round me bruited. Of change ?— there were no changes when I reigned ; The neck of prostrate man my foot sustained; I ruled the world— was Pharaoh, God- saluted ! " Who are they that my sacred tomb have entered ! English and French ?— They were unknown to me i And this Mohammed Ali— who is he, That in the Pharaoh's land a change hath ventured! " I hear them speak strange words that have strange meanings > Yet though their hieroglyphics, few and common, Are read by every man, and child, and woman, Of our large knowledge have they slender gleanings." THE KHINE, ILLUSTRATED. This is another of the splendid volumes which Messrs. Fisher have published, in pursuance of their great undertaking, to give us conceptions, at our own firesides, of the beauties of nature and the relics of art, at home and abroad. It is no small thing for publishers to undertake the employment of first- rate art- ists, to supply original drawings from nature in different parts of the world,— to multiply them by the skill of the first engravers,— and depend for their reimbursement on obtaining thousands upon thousands of purchasers at a low price. We admire the spirit of enterprise that could conceive such a task, and the ability, liberality, and suc- cess with which it has been prosecuted. The literary ac- companiment of these engravings, is also of very superior character, and serves greatly to enhance their interest and value. We need not wish the publishers success, for they have already secured it; and we have no doubt they will go on to confirm the approving judgment of the public, by still higher efforts. wholesale tea and coffee dealers, November 5 and Dec. solicitors, Messrs, Hughes and Co., Bucklersbury.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Monday, Oct. 25.— At this morning's market, we had a very moderate show of Wheat, by land carriage, from the adjoining counties, and the arrivals coastwise were also small. The compa- ratively dry weather which we have had during the last eight days has already somewhat improved the condition of the new Wheat, and the samples offering to- day were rather drier than those which have previously appeared ; the millers, consequently, bought freely, and an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter was realized on the quotations of this day se'nnight. Holders of Foreign Wheat also asked enhanced rates ; having, however, rather a thin attend- ance of country purchasers, the amount of business done was not important. Some of the town millers put np the top price of Flour 3s., but this was not generally the case. Ship marks were held at an enhancement of Is. per sack. There was a fair display of Barley samples— fine Malting qualities were in request, and the turn dearer. Secondary descriptions moved off slowly, at former terms. For Malt we had a steady inquiry, and its value was firmly supported. With English and Scotch Oats we were mo derately supplied, and the arrivals of Irish were not large. Fine Corn was in demand, and fully as dear, but we can quote no improvement either in the demand for or value of new Irish. Beans brought rather more money. Grey and Maple Peas were likewise the turn higher, and white boilers realized Is. to 2s. per quarter more. Imports, from Oct. 18th to Oct. 25th, inclusive:— Wheat, 6602 Barley, 7906; Oats, 14,627; Beans, 1277; Peas, 1407 Malt, 4637; Tares, 220; Linseed, 770 ; Rapeseed, 73; Flour, 6272 sacks, and 1707 barrels. LONDON, Wednesday.— The supply of English Wheat has not increased since Monday, and that day's currency is fully maintained ; foreign in demand, at improving prices. Beans rather dearer ; but Oats, and other articles as before. DONCASEER, Oct. 23.— We had a steady demand for Wheat, at former rates, and the market was very firm fine dry samples most in demand. The supply of Oats was not large this day, and superior old were Is. per qr higher. Beans in request, but not dearer. Barley brisk, at Is. per quarter advance. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 26.— A fair business was done in Foreign Wheat this morning, at the full rates of last Tuesday, but Irish new was offering 2d, to 3d. per bushel cheaper, and was still difficult of sale. Fine old Oats brought fully Id. per bushel, and old Meal Is. per load, above the quotations of this day se'nnight; in the value of new parcels of either article there was no change. Barrel Flour met a moderate demand. HULL, Oct. 26.— Wheat in abundant supply, and dry parcels Is. higher ; inferior and foreign as last week. Beans Is. dearer, but Oats and Barley as last noted. LYNN, Oct. 26.— The supply of all Grain was very small at market this day. Fine dry Wheat was Is. to 2s. dearer ; inferior dull sale, at last week's rates. Fine Barley was also Is. higher ; and inferior damp samples almost unsaleable. Old Beans Is. per quarter dearer. Oats and Peas remain as quoted last week. BAUNSLEY, Oct. 27.— Our market this day was well attended both by buyers and sellers, and a good amount of business was done. Wheat met with a good demand, at rather higher prices. There was also a good demand for Barley, and rather more money was obtained for fine samples; inferior unvaried. WORKSOP, Oct. 27.— There was a moderate demand for good samples of Wheat, which sold at rather higher prices, while inferior were not much looked after. There was also a little advance in good Malting Barley. NEWARK, Oct. 27.— Our market this day was very brisk for both Wheat and Barley, of the better sort. BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 28.— At this day's market, Wheat was Is. to 2s. per quarter higher than on this day week. Malting Barley unaltered ; Grinding was disposed of, in retail, at former prices. Very little doing in Oats. We had an improved demand for Beans, and more inquiry for Peas. PRICES OF METALS, & c.— London, IRON, British— Bar.. .. ton 0 0 0 to Do.

EYRE'S BOTANICAL MEDICINES 25, BANK STREET, SHEFFIELD. MRS. EYRE, grateful for past favours conferred on her by a discerning public for a long series of years, takes this opportunity to return her sincere thanks for the very liberal encouragement she has met with, and hopes to merit a continuance of the same. Mrs. Eyre begs to state, at the same time, that as she has been frequently importuned by her patients to give greater publicity to her invaluable Worm Medicines, for the beriefit'of'the afflicted, she has taken this opportunity of obliging them, and gives the following symptoms:— There are three species of Worms, namely— Tinea, or Tape Worm; Toratious, or Round Worm ; and the Ascarides, or Maw Worm. The Tape Worm chiefly oc- cupies the whole intestine, and the head lays between the stomach and the liver, which makes it difficult to bring away; but she has the pleasure to announce, that her Medicines seldom fail in bringing away the head of this monstrus Worm. It causes fevers, epileptic fits, consumption, shortness of breath, loathing of food, wast- ing and pining away of the body, continued thirst, swelled bellies, white thick urine, a nauseous breath, often vomit- ing, spitting blood, and sometimes voiding a few joints at a time. This is the most dangerous of the whole tribe. The Toratious causes paleness, hollowness in the eyes, gnawing pains of the stomach, especially in the morning, being desirous of fresh nourishment; these vermin have legs and joints, and some have forked joints, & c. Maw Worms, or small, round, white worms, occupy the lower intestine, occasion qualms, dryness, pain in the head, grating of the teeth, unquiet sleep, faintness, fits, & c. Mrs. Eyre's ANTI SCORBUTIC DROPS, sold at 2s. 6d. per single bottle, and 4s. 6d. per double quantity, will be found efficacious in all Scorbutic and Scrofula complaints.

APERIENT, DR Tndegestion, Bilious Affections, Pains in the Head, Sick Headache, Casual or Habitual Costive- ness, Nausea, Sickness, Heartburn, Piles, Fistula, De rangement of the Stomach and Head, caused by excess either of eating or drinking, and especially as a preventive and 6afe remedy for the Gout; RECOMMENDED BY Dr. GRAHAM, Author of " Domestic Medicine;" Dr. TURNBULL, of Russell- Square, London ; Dr. WILSON, of London, Author of a work on the appli- cation of Vapour, dedicated to Dr. Macartney, Dublin ; Drs. HARE, ARDEN, REECE, and by the FACULTY in gene- ral. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medi- cines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medi- cine. The almost unprecedented sale which it has ob tained, has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always ready to take advantage of the popularity of another's invention ; and this medicine has therefore been extensively imitated, by Compounds pos- sessing none of its properties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp,. which, in the genuine ar- ticle, has " Moxon and Smith, ( then co- partners) Che- mists, Hull," engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. It possesses all the efficacy of the most approved Saline Purgatives, without the disagreeable taste which renders such medicines so obnoxious to the palate and stomach ; and is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE, And as an invaluable companion to the traveller, particu- larly those visiting tropical countries; the sportsman, the delicate female, the spdentary student, and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoonful taken after any ex- cess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indegestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick- headache, and all other affections caused by an im- perfect performance of the functions of the digestive or- gans, it affords a pleasant and effectual remedy, its opera- tion being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other gentlemen are inserted in the bill in- closing each bottle.

The design of this Work will be tolerably obvious from its title. Addressing itself to the once thoughtless youth, whose follies have entailed upon incipient manhood, De- bility or Disease, the means of escape and restoration are faithfully unfolded. Parents, guardians, heads of fami- lies, and schoolmasters, are by no means accurately aware of the nature and extent of the evils it is the object of this book to pourtray; nor are the true causes of physical degeneracy, imbecility, and juvenile mortality, justly esti- mated or even correctly suspected. The necessity of renouncing the felicities of Marriage is a state to which imaginary fears have serretly doomed many who have too hastily concluded themselves hope- lessly unfit for the sacred obligations of wedded life. To such, among others, this essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the most confidential friend. To fan the spark of hope, to dissipate ground- less alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom- mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral welfare of all classes of the community. _ That eminent Surgeon, the late Sir Astley Cooper, in his published Lectures, observes:—" If one of these mi- serable cases could be depicted from the pulpit, as an il- lustration of the evil effects of a vicious and intemperate course of life, it would, I think, strike the mind with more terror than all the preaching in the world,"—" It is all very well, for sentimentalists to declaim about a no- tice of them, but justice, morality, and the preservation of health, as well as the perpetuation of the human race, demand it." TESTIMONIAL.—" It is the best book extant upon the subjects on which it treats; it is carefully written, and contains nothing but what is of practical value."— Man~. Chester Chronicle, May 1, 1841. In pointing out to persons of both sexes the frightful evils both to body and mind, inseparately attendant upon the absence of self- control, the warning beacon is held up to nature; and the treacherous quicksand is faithfully de- lineated, upon which have been wrecked the hope and promise of many a noble youth, now lost to usefulness, affection, and self- respect. Mr. La'Mert is to be consulted daily, at his residence; and country patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their symptoms, age, general ha- bits of living, and occupation in life of the party.

A TORY EXPOSURE OP TORY TRICKS.— In an organ worthy of Toryism; we find it stated, tliat this town is " noted far and wide for fictitious petitions ;" and the proof given of it is this :— " A year or two ago, a petition was sent from Shef- field against the New Poor Law, purporting to be signed by 16,000 individuals. This great array of names en- couraged a few gentlemen to meet Mr. Ward, in order to discuss in public the merits of that law, thinking, of course, that the assembly would be so large as to drown altogether Mr. Ward's arguments ; but judge of their astonishment, when they saw their honourable opponent victorious in numbers, if not in arguments." Now, this was one of the petitions of that worthy Tory instrument, Mr. Doutliwaite ; got up under the auspices of Messrs. Creswick, Roberts, and other energetic opponents of the Poor Law We are happy to find that these gentlemen fell into their own trap. They thought to " drown altogether Mr. WARD'S arguments," and his chance of being elected,—( this was in 1837,)— hut, lo! MT. WARD defeated them, and showed them that their great petition was a mere delu- sion. The Anti- Charter petition is of the same stamp, for it is said to he the opinion of the lejral gentleman who watched the scrutiny on behalf of the Tories, that half of the names to the petition against the Charter are forgeries. We beg, therefore, to suggest a more correct reading of the statement of our Tory friend. It should he—" The Tories of Sheffield are noted far and wide for fictitious petitions !" INCREASED MORTALITY CAUSED BY THE CORN LAWS.— We recently quoted the Registrar- Gene- ral's return of deaths in 1839- 40, shewing that they exceeded by 19,000 the deaths of 1838- 9, and by 14,000 those of 1837- 8, which was a year of extraor- dinary mortality. We attributed this fearful increase of deaths to the known fact, that the harvest of 1839 was excessively bad in quality, while the Corn Law is most diabolically contrived to make the very badness of home corn a means of excluding wholesome foreign grain. It is true that this operation was to some ex- tent defeated, by the management of the corn- dealers, of which however, the monopolists loudly complain. But the fact is indubitable, that the Corn Law in that year compelled the working classes to live to a great extent on unsound, unwholesome food. To this known fact we attributed the increased mortality, and remarked that this wholesale slaughter was more atro- cious than the human sacrifices of Paganism. Yet the Mercury, without presuming to dispute the fact or the inference, lifts up its hands in astonishment at this " recklessness of exaggeration"— this " mon- strous hypothesis of famine!" A very pleasant way of disposing of a state of things too horrible for monopo- lists to contemplate, but too clearly proved to be denied. among the present men, some worthy to be their successors, they have yet to come out from the " ruck," and establish their position. It will not be understood that we impute blame to the Magistrates, that very few of them possess the qualifications which we deem requisite for the office of judge. It is not to be ex- pected that country clergymen and gentlemen should be competent lawyers; and so long as the legislature imposes upon such men the onerous task they now bear, we owe thanks to those who are willing to sacri- fice their own comforts and feelings in order to dis- charge it. But, yet we must say, that it is in the power of the Magistrates to bring about without delay, a change, better for themselves and more just to the public. The power of the magistracy and of the country gentlemen with the Government is so great, that if they would agree upon it, they could in any Session of Parliament procure an act, to provide legal Chairmen for Courts of Quarter Sessions. And such is their influence, that if any measure for that purpose were proposed from any other quarter, and in opposi- tion to their wishes, it could not be carried. The im- portant step then is, that the Magistrates should decide upon applying for such an act. We cannot conceive that any ylea of diminishing their own influence or importance can deter them from doing so. As the matter stands now, the corporate boroughs have com- petent legal judges in their Recorders, while the more important counties have no better services than those of clergymen and gentlemen, of whom some no doubt perform their duties very ably, while others are notoriously and confessedly unsuited for such offices. We trust the Magistrates will take this" matter into their serious consideration, and if they do but share in the general sentiment of those who witnessed the proceedings of Monday and Tuesday, we have no doubt as to the result. WEST- HIDING MEETING, TO ADDRESS THE EIGHT HONOURABLE LORD MORPETH. LORD MORPETH.— We point with pleasure to the proceedings at Wakefield, on Wednesday, and only regret that the pressure of Sessions Reports has pre- vented our giving the speeches on that occasion more fully. We are happy to see the prominent and able part taken by our member, Mr. PARKER, and we would direct particular attention to the remarks of Earl FITZWILLIAM and Mr. FAWKES. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CHURCHMEN PRACTISING THE VOLUNTARY PRIN- CIPLE.— Since Churchmen had their attention turned to the voluntary principle as a means of extending their church, they have given the Dissenters some striking instances of ingenious begging. We have before us an appeal on behalf of a Church in the West Riding, managed thus:— In an envelope, are enclosed a smallerenvelope, withpostage stampand direction, a slit card, and a short printed appeal, entreating the re- ceiver to insert a shilling in the slit card, and re- turn it in the enclosed envelope, as directed. It would really be a shame, if Sir ROBERT INOLIS should spoil so fine an exhibition of the voluntary principle by compulsory church extension. There is another ad- vantage in this system— it is no small encouragement to the penny postage. Our church friends, more- over, set a good example by sending tlieir begging letters indiscriminately to Dissenters as well as Churchmen. We only hope, that when Dissenters venture, at humble distance, to imitate this laudable example, the ESCOTTS of the Church will not express a highbred wonder that the " ministers of hell," ( as Mr. Escott called the Wesleyan preachers,) should presume to ask for their money towards the building of conventicles. QUARTER SESSIONS. — It is not unfitting that a subject, which has been the general topic of remark in the Sessions room this week, should also be adverted to by the public press. We refer to the obvious and strong necessity that exists for having a legal Chair man to preside at Quarter Sessions. This necessity is less conspicuous in the trial of prisoners, whose cases usually involve only ordinary and well known law. But, in the trial of appeals, where all the in- genuity of the bar is exerted to raise technical diffi culties, where respect is to be had not merely to the statute, but to the authority of the higher Courts, where analogical arguments are often relied on, and where much more law is required than in cases of petty larceny, the want of legal knowledge on the bench is painfully apparent. We would not have it thought that we mean the slightest disrespect to the estimable Magistrate, who has this week presided. On the con- trary, we are persuaded that in the main his sentiments on. this subject must agree with ours. The change we recommend is demanded not merely for the benefit of the public, but in justice to the Magistrates them- selves. It was too evident on Monday and Tuesday, that Mr. ALDERSON felt himself placed in a most dis- agreeable position. This he not unfrequently in- timated, and were he not a man of most exem- plary patience and good nature, he must have been provoked beyond endurance by the scarcely equivocal marks of disrespect which he sometimes received from the bar. Some learned gentlemen may deem it becoming in them, to treat the venerable Magis- trate in the cavalier style which they can so well assume, but to the people of Sheffield who know Mr. ALDERSON'S worth, and his patient devotion to the public service, it is by no means pleasant to hear him so addressed. The public suffer too in the undue ex- penditure of time upon questions, which, were the Chairman acquainted with the law, would be settled very promptly. Without imputing to the bar, that presuming on the want of legal knowledge in the Chair- man, they raise frivolous points, to take the chance of a decision in their favour, we may at least say this, that in the iteration and reiteration of their arguments on the points which they do raise, they consume much time, which a legal Chairman, competent at once to to understand and decide such points, would save. It is moreover a consideration deserving of much weight, that the present system, has a great tendency to damage the administration of justice in the eyes of a shrewd and intelligent population. The bulk of the people of Sheffield must derive their opinions on this subject, not from the dignified and orderly conduct of the Courts of Assize, which few of them can attend, but from the Quarter Sessions. When, therefore, " they see a j udge compelled frequently to own his incom- petence, to decide the questions which are raised; when they hear barristers all but openly imputing to him want of knowledge, attention, or comprehension, charging each other with attempting to mislead the Court, meeting one another's statements with point blank contradictions, and wrangling in a style scarcely tolerable in Petty Sessions,— when the public see business for which they pay largely, and which involves the liberty of some and the property of others thus transacted, how can they respect such an administra- tion of law, or conclude that justice is better than a lottery? There is another consideration, which though temporary, is not without its weight. The present State of the bar, at our Quarter Sessions, requires a Chairman with sufficient legal knowledge to command the respect of the lawyers, and sufficient energy to repress disorder. HARDY, BLACKBURNE, MAUDE, DUNDAS, BAINES, aRd WORTI. EY, the men who used to give a high character to our bar, at Quarter Ses- sions, are gone; and though there are, no doubt, MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.— At the annual meeting of the Mechanics' Institute, on Monday evening, the question of the establishment of a Library will be discuss- ed, and we trust it will be resolved, forthwith to take means for making so necessary an addition to the Institute. Sir Arnold J. Knight, the president, will take the chair. John Parker, Esq., M. P., and other influential gentlemen have been invited, and are expected to attend. AMATEUR THEATRICALS.- Our readers will observe, that the officers of the Queen's Bays, with the charitable design of giving relief to our unemployed operatives, have resolved upon an amateur theatrical performance, at the Sheffield Theatre, the proceeds of which will be ap- plied for the benefit of the distressed. In resorting to this mode, which here at least will be a novelty, these gentlemen indulge the hope that they will not only be able to relieve the poor, but to instigate the inhabitants of the town to further efforts for the same object. The mode of performance by amateurs, and the benevolent, object with which it is undertaken, present theatricals in their most unobjectionable shape, and we have no doubt that many of our townsmen who ordinarily abstain from theatrical amusements will give their sanction and sup port on this occasion. We have been requested to state, for the caution of manufacturers, that some houses in Sheffield have been favoured with orders from a pretended firm in Liverpool, of which when enquired for, nothing satisfactory can be learned. Some houses having taken the precaution to enquire before sending their goods, have escaped the snare. Others being less cavtious have been bitten. ILL- TIMED PRO- CORN LAW ADVOCACY. — In the course of examining a witness, on Thursday, who deposed that he could earn 20s. a week when he had a- mind, Mr. WILKINS added " Even under the Corn Law!" This remark produced a laugh in the Court, and it is alleged by persons present, though we cannot ourselves vouch for the fact, that Mr. WORTLEY, the Chairman, appeared to sanction it. The gross impropriety of thus abus- ing a court of justice to a political purpose, is deserving of the severest reprehension. Mr. WILKINS could not thus have committed himself in presence of one of the Judges without meeting with a severe reproof, and Mr. WORTLEY would have done no more than his duty, if, instead of tacitly sanctioning so gross an impropriety, he had met it with a public rebuke. Mr. WILKINS was the man engaged by the monopolist GLADSTONE, to fight his battle at Walsall, against the free- trader, Mr. J. B. SMITH . Since that time, it was stated in the Manchester Guar- dian, on the eve of a great Anti- Corn Law meeting in that town, that Mr. WILKINS had cashed, at one of the banks there, a cheque, signed by the Duke of BUCKING HAM, for £ 50. The inference was, that Mr. WILKINS was hired by the monopolist landlords to defend their cause, and when he presented himself at the meeting, the people would not hear him. Whether he has a gene- ral retainer to advocate the cause of thelandlords, of course we cannot know. But at least he ought not to pervert his office as advocate in a Court of Justice, to the cause of the monopolists. PUBLIC BREAKFAST TO MR. MONTGOMERY.— On Thurs- day week, James Montgomery, Esq., and the Rev. P, Latrobe were entertained at a public breakfast in Gibb's Royal Hotel, Edinburgh. The attendance, both of ladies and gentlemen were highly respectable; and the dial was filled by John Campbell, Esq., of Carbrook. Mr. Sewell's concert, as announced in our last, was given on Wednesday evening, in the Court House, Ro- therham, to a large and respectable audience. The concert commenced with the overture to Guy Mannering, executed with good spirit by the numerous band, and fol- lowed by several glees and solos, which drew forth the applause of the company. The first part finished with the overture, Caliph of Bagdad. The second part was open- ed with a sinfonia by Kalliwoda, given in good style by | the band. Next followed the glee, " When winds breathe soft." Mr. Saunders' song, " Wanted a governess," was deservedly encored; also Mr. Roberts' second solo on the harp. Mrs. Parkes' song, " My boy Tammy," was much applauded; and Signor Donigani's solo on the cornet piston, gave the greatest satisfaction. Nor must we omit to notice, that Mr. Sewell's glee party gave great delight to the company. Indeed, the performance on the whole was such as to merit the flattering tokens of satisfaction which were given from time to time by the company and the inhabitants of Rotherham are much indebted Mr. Sewell for providing such a treat, as he must have been at considerable expense andv labour, to make the concert so attractive. He bore a very prominent part it himself— leading the overtures, accompanying most the songs on the piano- forte, and also playing a solo on the violin, that was much applauded. Upon the whole, we may say that he could not have had a more gratifying compliment, than to see a room filled with the most re- spectable families in the town and neighbourhood of Ro- therham, at this his first concert. THE DARFIELD MuRDER.— Last week, John Lodge and the girl Martha Ross, who gave evidence at the in- quest, to the effect that John Lodge was at home on the night of the murder, were brought up before the Magis- trates at Barnsley, when the girl admitted that the state- ment she had made before the Coroner was false. John Lodge admitted that he was not in bed at all on the night in question, but slept in a stable. It appeared that after the constable fetched the girl to give evidence, she had an interview with John Lodge, who was a sweetheart, and with whom she arranged that she should say as he had done, that he got home at twenty minutes to twelve. The servant man, with whom Lodge was accustomed to sleep, proved that he did not come to bed that night at all. The prisoners were remanded, with a view to obtain further evidence, on which they may be committed as accessories to the murder. On Wednesday night, a sheep, the property of Mr. Joseph Chadwick, of Conisbro', was slaughtered in afield and two legs taken away. THE PRIZE ESSAY ON MISSIONS.— We understand that the first prize of two hundred guineas has been awarded to the Rev. Dr. Harris, author of " Mammon;" and the second of one hundred guineas to the Rev. Richard Winter Hamilton, of Leeds. The trial of Blakesly, for the murder of Mr. Burdon, took place in the Criminal Court, London, on Thursday. — He was found guilty, and sentenced to be executed. On Wednesday, one of the largest, most respectable, and most influential meetings of the Liberal party ever hhld in the West- Riding, took place at the Court House, Wakefield, on Wednesday last, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best mode of testifying their re- spect for their late amiable and talented representative, the Right Hon. Lord Morpeth, and the deep regret they feel for the loss of his services. The meeting was con- vened by requisition, signed by the Chairmen of the re- spective polling districts. The meeting was announced to commence at twelve o'clock, and shortly after that hour, as many persons had assembled in the body of the could be comfortably accom- modated. The Right Hon. Earl Fitzwilliam, the Chairmen of the meeting, entered the Court at half- past twelve o'clock, accompanied by a numerous and influential array of no- blemen and gentlemen connected wfth the Liberal party. The arrival of the Noble Earl was welcomed by the most enthusiastic cheering. On the motion of Mr. BUSFIELD, M. P., seconded by H. HAMERTON, Esq., Earl FITZWILLIAM took the chair, amid loud applause. His Lordship ably vindicated his right to take part in these proceedings, and paid an elo- quent tribute to Lord Morpeth, whom he described as no ordinary man in the House of Commons, and especially in the Government of Ireland. He most cordially con- curred with those who originated this proceeding, and trusted there would be no dissentient voice around them. The Earl of SCARBOROUGH moved the first resolution. JOHN PARKER, Esq., M. P. for Sheffield, in coming for- ward to second the resolution, was loudly cheered. He said — it would ill become one who, when compared with those around him, had so little title to address the assem- bly, to have presumed to come forward at so early a pe- riod of those proceedings, but feeling that he came from a district in that Riding which had not yielded to any district in attachment both to the person and principles of Lord Morpeth, be felt that when he was requested so to do, he could not refuse to his constituents the gratifica- tion which be was sure they would experience in his coming forward at so early an opportunity, to call upon the inhabitants and freeholders of this great district to render an act of early justice, and to shew the em- pire at large with what regret, with what lamenta- tion, they saw the separation which had been effected, and with what admiration they looked upon the past.— ( Cheers.) With respect to the personal character of Lord Morpeth, it Btood so high, it was so generally appre- ciated, the fame of its purity reached so entirely through the dominions of her Majesty, that he should feel that it woud ill become, even one of those who was most sincerely attached to him, to occupy, in expatiating upon it, even a moment of the time of those who were equally cognisant of the position in which he stood. [ It was a high and wor- thy part of the character of that distinguished man, that in coming to the contemplation of his public life, they had not to pass over the bridge of one fault in his private con- duct, but that one side of the picture was as gentle and as pure as the other was brilliant and historical. ( Loud cheers.) They might appeal in confirmation of this, to what followed the retirement of Lord Morpeth from the repre- sentation of that county; they might appeal to the feel- ing which pervaded all classes of persons, and made many almost sorry for what they had done. He might say of him as had been said of a great personage of antiquity - Dejected Rome adored And honoured Cassar less than Cato's sword. He believed that when Lord Morpeth retired, or was driven from the representation of this county, a deeper feeling of regret was occasioned amongst all classes of the community than he ever remembered under similar cir- cumstances. That event had caused many remarks to be made which were not favourable to his countrymen. He was reminded of the ingratitude of republics, and the unfair and unrequiting spirit which some great coun- tries had shown towards their benefactors. ( Cheers.) — He was reminded of what in Athens had been done to eat Athenians; of what Rome herself had done to many of her ^ greatest citizens. These remarks were not so in- frequent as they might wish, and therefore he thought it was necessary for them to make some declaration in the face of the world, not merely for the sake of Lord Mor- peth— for his character stood upon a pedestal— but to emancipate themselves from any appearance of negl'ct, and to protest in the strongest way which the habits and opportunities of Englishmen enabled them to do, against being parties to any such ingratitude as that which had been shown towards the Noble Lord. ( Loud cheers.)— With this object, it was proposed that that meeting should adopt an address, to be presented to Lord Mor- peth, commemoratory of his connection with them, and declaratory of their regret at its termination ; and also expressing to him their hope that he would not, out oi too great courtesy or kindness to them, refuse to associate himself with some other constituency ; ( or, much as they admired him, he hoped they had learned their views of English patriotism in a better school than to wish to de- prive the country of his services, because thev had not succeeded in obtaining them for themselves. ( Very loud cheering.) If Yorkshire could no longer point with pride to the debates in each successive session of Parliament- f they could no longer read in the columns of the press those beaming words, those splendid sentiments and de clarations of opinion, which had made him celebrated, and entitled him to enduring fame— if they could no longer point to those things in connection with the repre- sentative of Yorkshire, let them not feel aggrieved if such should be the lot of some happier constituency.— ( Cheers.) Do not let them shew themselves even avari- cious of his services, until some bright spot showed itseb from above, to indicate to them that he would ayain be brought back to bis own. ( Loud cheers.) Let them rather rejoice to think that some other constituencies might be served by him, and that he would still give his great services to the empire. ( Loud cheers.) This was not a period when they could dispense with such men as Lord Morpeth. ( Cheers.) He did not say that at the present period, there was cause for more than ordinary alarm about the retirement of persons who might he entitled to take a prominent part in the affairs of the country; but if there was any one whose position, from the attachment of friends, from that confidence which his character had enabled them to place in him, was entitled to take such a part, that person was Lord Morpeth. ( Loud cheers.) Every one who knew Lord Morpeth, knew that everything he grap- pled with, was grappled with in honesty— that every cause he undertook was undertaken from conviction that the cause was just, and would feel also, that while he advo- cated a cause with eloquence, he illustrated it by his vir- tues. ( Cheers.) The world must feel that he was not a man who could he spared, and therefore they ought to look with the greatest anxiety to the restoration of Lord Morpeth to his country. [ A person in the meeting here said. " His honesty iost his election.''] He believed if Lord Morpeth had condescended more to prejudices— ( Loud and repeated cheers)— if he had sought more to gain votes than to gain a perpetuity of admiration, Lord Mor- peth would still have been Member for the West Hiding. ( Loud cheers.) Lord Morpeth fell because he would not be a party to the increasing of any prejudices, or lo the affirmation of any prin- ciples, save such as were for the good of the country. ( Loud cheers.) Lord Morpeth's administration of the government of Ireland was too good for the prejudices of England. ( Cheers) Lord Morpeth's advocacy of many measures was too enlightened for the views of less educated or more prejudiced men. Lord Morpeth's services would be remembered, and the principles on which he served his country would become part and parcel of the taws; and he should not be surprised if the historian who had to narrate, at some future period, the proceedings of our times, should find that even some of those measures by which Lord Morpeth fell, had become, at no dis- tant period, the law of the land. And believing as he did, that those measures, or measures similar to them, were absolutely neces- sary for the happiness and prosperity of the country ; feeling that the trade of England depended on an extension of its means of sup- plying itself with the products of other countries, and reciprocally interchanging them with her own, most sincerely did he trust that such would be the case. And if the measures were obtained, and were good, even though obtained from the party who had turned out those who originated them, they would be bound to rejoice rather than to recriminate. But the historian would say that those were not the measures of the party who carried them, but of those who originated them, and by them fell. ( Loud cheers.) Feeling that the happiness and commercial prosperity of mil ions, depended on the eventual triumph of the principles that tended much to lose Lord Morpeth his election; feeling that this was a time not merely to express admiration of Lord Morpeth's character, but to take into full account those more prominent features of his latter conduct, which, though they might have tended to his temporary obscura- tion, would be those points of his character which, next to his maintenance of the great principles of civil and religious liberty, would eventually endear him to his country, he had brought them somewhat prominently before the meeting. The honour of the country appeared to him to depend on the proposed declaration of opinion respecting Lord Morpeth's character; and he therefore most cordially seconded the resolution. ( Loud cheers.) The Right Honourable Lord STOURTON moved the adoption of the Address, which, as well as the resolutions, will be found in our advertising columns. Jas. G. Marshall, Esq., G. S. Foljambe, Esq., J. G, Smvth, Esq., William Brooke, Esq., W. Hatfield, Esq., Sir F. L. Wood, F. Greenwood, Esq., W. L. F. Serjeantson, Esq., moved and seconded the various resolutions. F. H. FAWKES, Esq., was enthusiastically received, and in seconding the sixth resolution, referred to the success- ful issue of the registration. He said, we must have majorities, and we must 3lso work for majorities such as will not only prevent our opponents from doing us mis- chief, but situated as the country unfortunately is at the present moment, will enable a friendly Minister to carry measures which would not only be salutary, but absolutely necessary, for the state of the country—( Hear, hear,)— ' and such majorities as will ( and I hope I may be so allowed to express myself, for I never withhold the truth) oblige an unwilling House of Peers to comply with the just de- mands of the people. ( Cheers.,) But in orderto do what I advise you to do, you will have to do much that will be more unpalatable and more irksome even than registra- tion has lately appeared. You will have many sacrifices to make, and much forbearance to display, and, in fact, if you mean to proceed, you must act in concert. ( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") When I speak of acting in concert, I do not mean that you should be a party in- fluenced only by that most odious of all feelings, generally understood by the designation of party spirit. ( Hear, hear.) That I do not advise or recommend by anymeans, but, nevertheless, we must act in concert. There are some who think that a large extension of the suffrage should be the first object of our attention ; but, Gentle- men, is it not probable that if the question of commercial freedom is to give way to others which some of our friends think ought to take precedence, that before the influence of the constituency of this or any other riding could be brought to bear on the question of an extension of the suffrage, we should he so pauperised and so completely dependent, that this riding would not be considered, as it has always been before, an epitome of the general inte- rests of the country, and which no Minister, however un- willing to listen to the voice of the people, could afford to refuse attention to, but would rather be regarded in the light of decayed Knaresbro' or venal Pontefract. ( Cheers.) If, then, we are to act in concert, we must shew the fortiter in re, and in order to obtain success, we must do another thing— we must agree to act the suaviter in modo. ( Hear, hear.) Truth needs no violence in its advocates. If you conceive that j'our opinions are the true ones, the best way we have of bringing their influence to bear upon others, is by shewing that we need no violence for our arguments. ( Hear, hear, hear.) The first thing forus to do is, to agree on one step. 1 would advise you to make Commercial Reform your present object of acquisition. ( Hear, hear.) Act strenu- ously in the matter, but in a charitable spirit to those who are opposed to you. And now, Gentlemen, I will conclude, with offering you an observation on what we ought to do ourselves with respect to the present Minis- try. To regain public confidence, we must act in a spirit becoming the Liberal party, and I can best tell you what we must do by telling you what we must not do. We must not do to our opponents what they have been doing to us. We must not expose their faults merely as a ground of apology for committing the same faults our- selves. ( Hear, hear.) We must not oppose any mea- sures when we are out of power, which, when we had the power to change, we should have been unwilling to alter. ( Hear, hear.) We must not spend our time whether in the House of Commons, or out of it, whether in town or country, whether in session or recess,—! say we must not spend our time, our talents, and our means of information, only in obstructing, harrassing, and de- feating every measure, whether good or bad, that is brought forward by the existing Administration, and then when that cabal has succeeded, and turned out the exist ing Government, be placed in the shameful position that others are in, of having demanded five months' grace, that they might resume the neglected duty of considering how to provide for the pressing wants of a starving popu- lation. ( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, let us exhibit no impatience, uo ambition for office, but as the means of carrying into effect those measures which, whether located in our own houses or in Downing street, whether being called in regularly and receiving a fee as the State Physician—( laughter) — or whether only doing that duty which is entrusted to us by our constituents, we should in all places, at all times, and under all circumstances, be ready to prescribe, sopport, and promote. ( Cheers.) Continuing in this line of conduct, we shall, at all events, deserve, if we do not obtain, the return of public favour. ( Loud and repeated cheers.) Lord HOWARD moved a vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman, which was seconded by W, R. C. STANS- FIELD, Esq. Earl FITZWILLIAM was loudly and rapturously cheered. He said— My Lord Stonrton and gentlemen, it has un- doubtedly been my endeavour on the present occasion to conduct myself in such a manner as should conduce to the well transacting of the business of the day. And it is most gratifying to me to find that in your estimation I have not failed. ( Cheers.) My services have been alluded to in other capacities ; and I can only say it gives me the great- est pleasure when any poor services of mine can be of any use to the people of this riding. I will now briefly observe on what has fallen from some of the speakers. And first, I must say that Mr. Fawkes has given you some most ex- cellent advice; and he has also given me some advice, not less to be followed. He gave you advice as the electors of this riding; he gave advice to me as a member of the House of Lords. ( Hear, hear.) And I think the advice he gave to me was most excellent: it was advice which, if they would all follow, every member of the House of Lords would be a true patriot. He told the members of the House of Commons who are present, and he told us all, that we were not to do in opposition ( if I may term that opposition which Lord Melbourne said nobody ought to be in) what we were not prepared to do when support- ing government. That is a sentiment, Mr. Fawkes, which I have learnt from earliest youth ; for I have read it on the inscription written by Mr. Burke, on the monument to the memory of the Marquis of Rockingham, which states, that when he was in power, he carried into effect every thing which he recommended when not in power. But there was another person of whom the same might be sain. In 1830, when Earl Grey, at the head of the Whigs, came into power, he having from his earliest years recom- mended popular reform, did Lord Grey say he would take five months to consider? ( No, no.) Lot d Grey, then advanced in- old age, did not take time t, o consider. He had contended for reform ever since 1791; and when he came into power, he went directly to his Sovereign, and told him that if he was to be called in, reform must be the main measure to be recommended to Parliament. ( Hear and cheers.) But did Lord Grey then recommend a bit by bit reform— a sliding scale reform ? ( Loud laughter.) No ; for the rotten boroughs were swept away; and twen- ty or thirty others were deprived of half their mischief. He would repeat again the advice of Mr. Fawkes, to be conciliatory with our political opponents, and especially with the landed interest, who fancy they have great inter- est at stake. I think they are mistaken in their view. I believe they misunderstand what their true interests are. ( Loud cheers.) I speak as a landed proprietor; and I say that the idea of the landed interest being prosperous by keeping up the price of corn, is a fallacy. I don't un- derstand their mode of reasoning. What would be the value of Sir George Armytage's land, if deprived of the . support of the manufacturing district? ( Hear.) And what of the lands and coal fields of other great landlords ? Tlieir mistaken notions are inexplicable even in Nor- thamptonshire ; but that the men of this riding should be so imposed upon is something beyond one's patience to endure. ( Loud cheers.) I have great respect for them, and believe them honest and conscientions men, but I am assured they are something else as well—( Laughter and much cheering)— which 1 should not like to name. Well then, be conciliatory, and don't suppose our opponents are selfish or obstinate. I know well that our political economy is a dryish study; and our landed gentry are fond of ease and leisure. They don't like to disturb their ease and leisure by going into these matters. There is, besides, to a certain extent, a little fear of making a dis- covery which they may not like. If a person feel a pain at the elbow he is afraid to call in a physician, lest there be something discovered which may make an incision ne- cessary. ( Laughter and cheers.) Therefore, it is, they prefer going on in ignorance, rather than obtaining that information which would enlarge their understandings and exhibit to them the plain truth. 1 am not afraid of con- fessing that I was once of a different opinion on the sub- ject of the Corn Laws to what I am at present, and voted in the House of Commons for the Coin Laws in 1815. And a very great mistake I now think I made at that time But then there were not more than 30 or 40 who opposed it; and I do not, therefore, take to myself very great shame for the part I then took. But experience taught me at length that I was wrong, and I then changed my sentiments. ( Hear.) Now, gentlemen, greatly as I re- gret the result of the last election, X trust and hope that there will soon be a perfect revival and resuscitation of the principles most conducive to the welfare of the country. ( Hear.) You may have been knocked down, but I hope you will . not lie down for ever. ( Cheers.) Do what you can for yourselves; but- J again repeat that, whenever I can be of any use, I shall always have the greatest satisfaction in obeying your call. The Noble Earl retired amidst loud cheers and huzzas, and the business of the meeting concluded, having occupied more than three hours. At the " OLD NO. 12" WINE AND SPIRIT VAULTS, opposite the Tontine Hotel, Haymarket, Sheffield, the smallest quantity of Wines or Spirits may be had upon the same terms as if purchased by the cask, gallon, or dozen. The proprietor invari- ably imports his own Foreign Wines and Spirits, the Queen's duties upon the same being paid by himself ; and paying cash down for his British Wines and Spirits, enables him to take advantage of the de- pressed state of the markets, and sell to his very best friends, the public, Wines of the very first character, and Spirits of the choicest quality, gua- ranteed of the highest legal strength, by the full im perial measure, at wholesale prices. To those who have so long patronised his establishment, the pro prietor returns his best thanks, and at the same time solicits a trial from all those who have not yet fa- voured him, being satisfied that the quality and prices of his extensive Stock, tvill ensure to him their future Custom.— N. B.: To afford facility to carriers, coun- try purchasers, and others, Wines and Spirits of all kinds, are kept ready put up in all sized bottles, from a jack to a gallon, sealed and labelled.

HER MAJESTY.— All the preparations rendered neces- sary in consequence of the near approach of her Majesty's accouchement are in readiness. That interesting event may now be hourly expected, or possibly not take place for a short time, as, although the Queen has been rather indisposed the last day or two, she has never considered it necessary to keep her room, and this morning her Majesty is quite as well as yesterday. Orders were given some day* past for summonses to be issued from the Home Office to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Lord Chancellor, and those Cabinet Ministers whose duty it is to be in attendance at the Palace when the birth of a Prince or Princess is expected, the moment any intelligence of her Majesty being unwell was received from the medical attendants, or officers of the household on duty ; but up to the time of our going to press, no such official information had been received, neither had any summonses been issued. Tke different branches of the Royal Family sent to Buckingham Palace this morning, to make inquiries after her Majesty's health. Sir Robert Peel's horses have, for the last two days, been kept harnessed day and night, in order that if any information should be received from the Palace, the Right Hon. Baronet may not be de- layed one minute. Her Majesty joined the Royal party last evening to dinner; and is, we are happy to say, to- day in possession of her wonted health and spirits.— Sun of Thursday. - \ EXTENSIVE FORGERY. MONEY MARKET. TUESDAY.— The discovery of the duplicate numbers of Exchequer Bills has led to the apprehension of a person holding a high situation in the Exchequer Bill Office; and it is reported that spurious bills have been ascer- tained to be in circulation to the amount of £ 200,000.— Chronicle. FORGERY OF EXCHEQUER BILLS. — The banking world will be well aware that Exchequer Bills to a vast amount are deposited in the strong box of various firms, from the day they are received from the hands of the Pay- master of the Exchequer Bills, until the corresponding day in the following year, when they are again returned to that officer, by whom they are renewed, according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. None of the bills so deposited are in the smallest danger of having a doubt thrown on their validity, since it is not through the connivance of any public officer that Mr. Smith is believed to have circulated his forgeries. In using the term " for- gery" we are perfectly correct, in spite of the question raised by some of our contemporaries, whether the fraud amounts to the crime we have named; and we are enabled positively to state, that the documents in question are for- geries in the strictest sense— both as to the signature of Lord Monteagle and his deputy. There has not been a surreptitious use of the genuine autographs of these officers, but they have been copied with so much skill, as we observed yesterday, as to have astonished one of the individuals whose duty it was to sign the Bills, when the imitation of his own handwriting was shown to him. It is believed that Mr. Smith has acted through confederates in the city; and there are one or two names implicated, which, until direct proof is in pos- session as to their share in the guilt, we shall abstain from mentioning. We, however, think ourselves quite at liberty to divulge the fact that certain circum- stances connected with this affair had induced the issuing of a warrant for searching the house, and an authority for apprehending the person, of an individual connected with the Foreign Stock Exchange— which in- struments were placed in the hands of Forester, the active officer, to execute. On reaching the abode of the person alluded to, it was discovered that he had volunta- rily called on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to whom he expressed his willingness to afford every facility in the detection of the forgery. This promptitude is, to a certain extent, favourable to the party hinted at; but, in a day or two, we shall be enabled to speak more plainly on this part of the subject. In some instances in- dividuals have brought suspected Bills voluntarily to the Treasury, and in one case these documents, to the amount of £ 60,000 have been lodged in the hands of the official personages at that department. The system of Mr. Smith has been to use his forged bills through agents in the city, by whose instrumentality they have been deposited as securities. The fact that Exchequer bills are called in, that the interest may be paid upon them only in the months of March and June, has enabled Mr. Smith to take up the bills of March deposited with one party, by supplies raised from another paity on bills dated in the previous June; and thus, the time they have had to run has not ex- pired until 3 mouths after the period at which he has em- ployed them to conceal his criminality. These latter bills were, in their turn, taken care of by the proceeds of others dated in March; and thus he has for a series of years been enabled to carry on without detection his sys- tem of forgery. We are happy to be enabled to set" at rest the apprehension of those whose little all may be in- vested in Exchequer bill of small amount; for we believe that there are none under £ 1000 that have been made the subject of fraudulent practices. It may also be satisfac- tory to some parties to knbw, that of all the numerous bills brought within the last day or two to the office of the Comptroller- General, for the purpose of having their vali- dity tested by the counterloil, not one, has been con- demned which is of a lower number than 6000, Mr. Smith having selected the higher numbers, for reasons that will be hereafter alluded to. We have great reason to hope that none of the forged documents have been purchased in the open market, but that all have been used as securities, and lodged with parties some of whom have not scrupled to take an enormous rate of interest. Indeed, it is owing to this circumstance being known that the matter began to be canvassed, and the suspicions were raised which led to the recent discovery. Some of the holders, as the rea- diest way of ascertaing the validity of their bills, have paid them into the Bank of England as part of the recent funding; but we believe this has been done to an amount that is not considerable.— Globe, Thursday.
