A statement appeared some time since in the Northern Star in the report of a dinner at some town in the North , to this effect , *?
Notwithstanding so many poundB ( upwards of £ 30 ) have been forwarded to London , for a prisoner who had been transported f or some po litical offence , that prisoner has not yet been brought back . " Should thismeet tbe eye of any parties conversant with tbe case referred to , they would oblige some " friends to fair pUy" in London , by addressing the particulars to the Secretary of the Dorchester Committee . Since the publication of the balance Bheet , severa sums , which ought to have been forthcoming long since , of which the Committee knew nothing , have come to hand ; it is supposed there are others yet to
come . Murdeb , —On Tuesday , great excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of Islington , in consequence of the discovery of a most inhuman murder , perpetrated on the person of Mr . John Templeman , an elderly gentleman , who resided in an obscure cottage , situate in Pocock ' s Fields , at the back part of Liverpool-road , adjacent to Bansbury-park , Islington . It appears that for several years past the deceased had occupied the cottage in question , and lived by himself . He was possessed of an income arising out of some bouses belonging to him in the neighbourhood of Somers Town , and , by all accounts , was in the habit of boasting of and
exhibiting bis money to his neighbours , which , it is said , led to the catastrophe which ensued . An old woman , named Thornton , who attended him in the capacity of char-woman , ieft him the same evening , taking his tea in his own cottage , well . Tbe next morning , on sending her daughter . to the cottage , she could sot get in ; and oa elevating herself upon a stool she peeped through thti window , which she pushed open , and she perceived th * bed all tumbled , sad tte ^ wfiftw * ; jkn < L bed-clothes saturated with blood ; ana on stooping over eh © wii horror-stricken on beholding the deceased stretched upon the floor , with both his hands tied with a cord . A bloody stocking was tied round bis head , so as to bandage his eyes . The floor and carpet were covered with blood , and tbe deceased ' s bead was literally dashed to pieces . Information of the murder was given to the police . The Bon-in-law of the char-woman , a Frenchman , was aprehended on suspicion of being
concerned in the murder , but after undergoing an examination before the magistrates , he was discharged . On Wedoesday , three other prisoners were apprehended , a young man named Richard Gould , and-aman and his wife , named Jervis . Gould ' s lodgings were searched , and some of the property of the murdered man was discovered ; clothes were found which had marks of blood upon them , adding to the suspicion of his being tbe murderer of Mr . Templeman . Gould , it is understood , was a pot-boy , but has lately been out of employ . The Jervises have the character of being industrious and inofiensivs people , but they were taken into custody in consequence of its being discovered that they had been on terms of intimacy witb the prisoner Gould . An inquest held on the body has been twice adjourned ; and the prisoners have undergone several examinations at ri . itton-garden , but are not as ytt committtd .
Mcbdeb is Edinburgh . —About four o ' clock on Saturday storoiag tbe watchman on the Netherbow station found a man lying on the High-street , insensible , and bleeding . On inquiry he found that he had just been thrown from the window of a honse of an infamous character , three stories high , and on proceeding up to which he found four women and a man , who were taken into custody . The nnhappy victim was removed to the Infirmary , where it was found that his skull was fractured ; he lingered till about mid-day , when he died . As he continued insensible till the time of his death , it became of course impossible to ascertain from him the cause of this revolting crime , nor have we been
informed what account the inmates of the _ house bave given to the authorities ; but the following particulars , which we have reason to believe authentic , may tend to throw some degree of light on the proceedings : —The room in which the parties were asssembled was rented by a girl , named Charlotte Dun das ; but we believe that the others , Elizabeth and Margaret Henderson , Catharine Hay , and Archibald Allan , resided there also , at least occasionally ; though how they contrived to do so is not easy to be understood , as the room itself is hardly so large as an ordinary-sized light bed closet . The deceased himself , whose name is Stewart , was also frequently there , and cohabited , it is said , with the
girl Margaret Henderson , now in custody . This much is certain , that , at eleven o ' clock on Friday night , he was met going down the stairs , out of the house , by a woman living on the same land . He was then without his hat ; and it is remarkable that , when found by the watchman , there was no hat lying near him ; but , on going into tbe house , a hat , which Allen bad on at the time , was identified as Stewart ' s ; but the cap , or bonnet , usually worn by Allen , was nowhere to be found . After having been seen by the women at eleven o ' clock , there was no further trace of him , that we are aware of , till the time of the catastrophe . About four in the morning % shoemaker , who lives below the room , heard a
quarrel among the inmates , and scuffling ; he also states that he heard tbe body in the act of falling , and the crash on the pavement . This might well be , for the front of the house is scratched in several , places , evidently caused by the rubbing of somebody against it , and a piece of old wood , which projected a very short way from the house , has been broken by the descent . There are two windows ne ^ r the place , one in the room itself , and one on thf , staircase or landing ; and it is supposed to be from the latter that the deceased was thrown , as % ticket , which was put out from the window , w as marked with mud , appearing to indicate that tb a feet of the unhappy victim had rested upon it ; ¥ { bo , be must hate been thrown in a direction filan ' ting down the
street , as the scratches already a'Juded to ran iB that direction till they reach t )\ e broken , wood , whence the fall seems to have bf / en perpendicular ! There is a family that lives on the same staircase who had sublet the room to V nndas , and who , it would appear , must have hea- cd something of the struggles and fighting ; but tb ey deny all knowledge of the matter . The prisoner , have all been remitted to the magistrates . Stewar t , - ^ e believe , was about twenty years of age , and f . he prisoners are none of them much older . —Edtnbjrgh Paper . —The investigation was proceeded v nth by the magistrates on Tuesday ; and we-under . stand that the evidence of a woman who was passir . g had been obtained , which goes to prove thai - " the women actually thrust the unfortunate tovbx Vtao . ont of the window .

For tho last four&tfive weeks-backed by tome of thrWittdtor , agKJMf the Eton parsons , and : incited M the SaflpMHl bigots in the neighbourhood of iboth towtoMfey have been threatening and bullying all those ' who "were , disposed ' o . ' -dispute their authority andslangh as ^ their foolery , unt il , at last , they came to tSe determination of putting their threats into execution . Accordingly , on Monday last , Messrs : Adams , Cobden , and George ( Churchwardens of Windsor ) * Saints * , W i ^ soR ^ -SirNPiT ^ KtW - ^
, , an iilr Brown , ( Churchwarden of Clewer , in which parish , a portion of the town of Windsor is situated ) , proceeded to . the Town-hall , and applied to tile Mayor and C . M . Snowden , Esq ., ( who were on the Bench ) for summonses against four unfortunates , who had committed the high crime and misdemeanour of not closely shutting up shop on the Sibbath . Mr . Adams opened the business , and , addressing tbe Mayor , stated that he and his brothe * Churchwardens applied for summonses against four Persons for exercisiDg their worldly calling on &e -. ord s Day . The pious spokesman then handed in a paper -with the names of tne guilty narties , of which the following is a copy : — "Sunday , ularch 1 , James Saunders , butcher , Thames-streetWindsorsold
, , meat to Jonathan Cavley and others . Haines , eating-house keeper , solu bacon , &c , to Mrs . Dyke spd Gosport Poll ( a lady of ea&y virlue , and , therefore , a pretty witness for the " Saints . " ) March 8 , ditto to Mrs . Dyke . March 8 , William Baldwin , butcher , Clewer , sold meat to Mr . Sharrott and others . March 1 , William Barrett , Clewer-lane , sold ' pottatoes' to Farmager and others ; and on Sunday , loth , hawktd greens and Eold ditto , in Goswell-lane , bpittal . The application having been made " or the summonses being granted in the usual way , the following conversion took place between the magistrates and the bitter observance advocate i : — "Mr . suowden ( addreLLiDg the mayor , and looking very significantly at the two pair of applicants)— " 1 'his is
a-i attair that I shall refuse to have anything to do with . How many names ( addressing the magietrat' -i clerk ) mutt be signed to the summonses ? Mr . Long ( clerk to the magistrates )— "The s i gnature of one magistrate is sufficient . " Mr . Snowden . "Oh , very well ; because , if it required two , I bad made up my mind to leave the ^ ench . " Mr . Adams-r-We have come here to-day , Sir , by request of the magistrates , and all we hate to ask of you ib , that vou w ; il carry out the law . " Tho Mayor— " Then l must grant the summonses , as applied for . " Mr Snowden ( looking at the list of prsons who are to be pulled up , " and throwing away the paper in disdam )— " I perceive you apply for a Bummons against a poor unfortunate devil , in Clewer-lane .
What has he been doing ' . " Mr . Adams— " He was discovered hawking vegetables on Sunday morning " Mr . Snowden— "Well ,. I cannot see the harm of hat , especially as he got home before ten o ' clock . Now , Mr . Adams , every Sunday morning I tee a parcel of people go into my neighbour ' s shop to be shaved . I don't like vour making fish of one and lesh of the other . Why don ' you lay wait for him 1 Why not catch the barber i" Mr . Adams—Because the Legislature won ' t touch them . " Mr . Snowden— " I question that . " Mr . Long ( the magistrates' clerk >— " Who lays the complaint against James SaundersV Mr . Adams— "I do . " Mr . Brown ( tbe Clewer Churchwarden , who evidently began to feel ashamed of his mission)— " Then I
snail not press my complaint . " Mr . Adams ( fiercely turning round to the conscience-stricken Mr . Brown ) — " What do you come here for , then ! " Mr . Brown — I think differently now . I shall not go on . " Mr . Brown— " But I suppose / may . / don ' mind turning informer in your parish . / apply for the summons . " Mr . Snowden— " Now , Mr . Adams , suppose you were to see a butcher ' s boy , on a Sunday morning , with a tray full of meat , going into Mr . Jark s at the White Hart , how would you act 1 " Mr . Adams— " Wily stop him , to be sure , and make him tell the name of his master , and then get a summons against him . " Mr . Snowden— " Aye , that ' B all very well . Mr . Adams ; but it ' s impossible for the innkeepers in the town to know ; he extent of their demand for either meat , fish , or bread , until the train arrive at ten or eleven o ' clock on Sunday morning . They sometime *
bring into the town several hundreds ef visitors ; and are they to starve , because you would prohibit the butchers and others privatel y supplying the innkeepers with necessaries ? The thing is preposterous . Why , it was only last Sunday week that Mr . Clark had £ as he supposed , enough meat in his larder to last urn over Tuesday , but what was the factl Why , ihere was an unexpected influx of visitora ( several hundreds ) into the town , and Mr . Clark ( and it was the same with the other innkeepers ) had not half sufficient for that day ' s consumption . I am not an advocate for shops being kept open on the Sabbath ; bnt there is a line to be drawn . If these persecutions are to continue , Ihope the public will stay away from Church * and let the Clergy preach to emptv pews . " The Mayor then granted the summonses ; Mr . Snowden , highly to his credit , peremptoril y refusing to have any thing to do with them . —London Paper .
STOCKPORT . Raw 80 » , of Btrar .-At midnight on Thursday two policemen entered the house of James Rawson the Chartist , at Bom and apprehended him under a warrant , dated the &h of August last , from the Borough Magistrates of this towa , ehanrimr him with sedttJon ; conspinwirt ¦ ttwdiHt wglMwful nmU ings , and the l ike , on the 20 th Js § laeoedingrlie was locked op daring the pight u > the > tfson ; « & 4 the following dar w * 4 transferred to the Sieerafefc authorities , and lodged in Stutter ' s WeSs « HJ % fwSi night . On Saturday , at tbe auubwiea ¦ " 4 Om magisterial business , Rawsoa ' was placed in the d « 3 Mwth « d&rfc * alluded to . and thrKe * d * r Coppock ) having read tbejrarmat , * 4 » 4 him wh * t
he had to say 1 Kawsoa said thatMfeadUnly attended one meeting in this towifjwmcffwiiTBelot near the Social Institution , and , to the best of his recollection , it was of a Jater date to that named . Mr . Coppock asked the reason of Rawson ' s having been out of the way since the warrant was issued ! Rawsqn replied that be had certainly been from home , but not to avoid any process . Why should bet ila bad already given bail for his appearance at tbe Liverpool Assizes , and he could not conceive why he should be again apprehended . Mr . Coppock—Haveyou any certificate of that ! Rawson—I have . Mr . Coppock—Produce it . Here Mr . Rawson exhibited the certificate , signed by Sir . Richard Beswick , the chief constable , of Manchester , testifying that Rawson had entered into the reouired
sureties , to appear at Liverpool , &c , and was at liberty .- Mr . Coppock said it was quite correct . The Bench did not wish to prosecute Rawson unnecessarily by two processes ; all that they desired was to protect the pablie peace . Rawson had not taefcincluded in the indictment at Chester ; but if It vwas found necessary so to do , > he , of course would have due notice of it ; and , therefore , on the present occasion ) h « ( Mr . Coppock ) would not require more than Rawson ' s own bail , being satisfied with tbe indictment at Liverpool . Rawson then entered into his own bail of £ 50 to appear when called upon j and left the Court , accompanied by his frie nds , the Chartists of Stockport .

— ^ ^ ^ . ^ ^ ^ ^ v VVVVV I 0 « # * NANTWICH . PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE "BITTER" OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH . A public meeting was held here on Thursday , in the vestry room , for the purpose of enforcing the better observance of the Sabbath . The meeting was called by the authorities , in accordance with a requisition sent to them , signed by a number of the middle classes , a great part pt them Wcsleyan Methodists , the requisitionists being " convinced of th $ nevmity of promoting the duz tbsercance of the Sabbath . " In the midst of the misery
existing at present in the neighbourhood , in consequence of numbers being out of employ , in the shoe trade , one was led to hope , on seeing at a distance , on the walls ' 'A public meeting will be held , " in large letters , that it was for tbe purpoce of taking into consideration the distressed state of t ^ e working classes , with a view of doing something for their immediate relief , but our nearer approachconviDced , u > of our error ; we found from our list of signatures appended to the requisition , that our most zealous , enthusiastic professors of the religion of charity were , as usual , contenting themselves with carrying into practice the observance « f forms and
ceremonies , and at a time , too * when numbers of their fellow-townainen were in a state of starvation . The meeting was called for twelve o ' clock , and a few of the unwashed considered it their duty to go and watch the proceedings . There were present the Rev . R . H . GrettoU . our rector and magistrate ; Rev . Mr . Young , chaplain of the bastile ; Mr . Shuffleton and Mr . Prescott , the two Conference-appoint 3 d Wesleyan ministers ; Mr . Cave , the Warrenite minister , and a considerable number of the middle classes . Mr . Gretton was called upon to take the chair , but declined . It was then moved and seconded that Mr . Shuffleton take the chair , which he did after many apologies and much
nonsense . It appeared the requMonista had held private meetings previous to the public one , and the Chairman being one of the party , proceeded to read a handful of placards and extracts , coemingly from newspapers . From what we could glean from these extracts and tbe remarks thereon , it appeared that the object of the meeting was to shut public-houses , bakehouses , and beer shops , to prevent drovers taking cattle to fairs , &c The Chairman proceeded to remark what a shocking thing it was that persons should be kept away from places of worship to bake , shave , drive cattle , &c It was for the sake of these persona that he came forward on the present occasion .
The Rev . Mr . Young then rose , and for about a quarter of an hour rambled on from Genesis to Revelations in such an unconnected style that it was difficult to form an idea as to what he meant ; I think he wished us to understand , that one day in seven was to be kept holy . The Rector seemed to take the same view of it , for he rose , and after begging Mr . Young ' s pardon for the interruption , told him he had a better opinion of his parishioner * , than to suppose for a moment that they did sot know the Sabbath was ordained to be kept ; fee thought the meeting was called in consequence of some Bbockiogvdesecration it > tbe Sabbath , and he expected to hear resolutions to the effect of preventing their recurrence .
, Mr . Pbebcot next rose , and in a blustering manner , gave u * to understand tnatl * B could make a speech if he liked , but . he came there tJ » act not speechify ; he went on for » I » og time ( it was not making a speech ) shewing us how dreadfully the Xord visited thorn who did not keep thedSabbath , how the children of Israel were ¦ eat t ^ BaWlon in consequence , and many more good # JjV » . iiJ [ tt , tnwi turned out that they had not brought •• ny resolutions witb them : I suppose they expected no opposition , and could form and eairy what they chose .. / ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ .

DUNNING said he considered the Sabbath was *» weB observed in Nantwich as in any tow a in Eagifend of its size , infinitely better than in many large & «« & > He thought , that the magistrates had done all thaJtwas neoewujr for tb » pnrpoae ; he instanced the case of tfce beer hoiues . ^|» nagktrMe * prevented them fronx . opening . UH-Kftfer nioming serviee- ^ eTBrj 1 night tiwiifiowcl at nine . He went on to say , tlwtin the present state of the working classea , he was a lucky man who could afford a bit of butefaer ' B meat on Saturday , and if he was that lucky , ten to one if he coold afford the uae of fuel to cook it by . Were the wealth * producers who were so situated to be prevented from having their scanty mortel cooked at a public bakehouse ? Was one warm bit of meat once a-w © ek too great a luxury for them ? ¦
Mr . Pbescot here attempted to prove that the Sabbath was better kept in some tovrna in . Scotland and Wales than in Nantwich . He continued in a very godly strain for some time . The Hector then rose . He wished them to understand that it was useless for them to attempt to prevent baking dinners on Sunday . He read to them a case , decided in a court of law some yean since , in proof of this . He considered it much bettor for one person to stay at home and cook for fifty persons , than to prevent thOBe fifty persons from going to places of worship by staying at home to cook for themselves . He spoke at some length on this subject - The Chairman observed , that although they could not prevent dinners being baked , still they might prevent bread baking . He was so sorry to see the women with dough on their bands on a Sabbath morning , instead of being at places of worship . Shops , too , might be entirely closed . ... ^ ,
Mr . T . Dunning wished tbfl £ k $ fer bear in mind that numbers of men in the shoe trade worked for masters with small capitals , -who ., sent their goods to Man-. Chester on Thursdays , and who could not pay their men until they received their money in return by the carriers , who did not arrive Until late on Saturday evening , or Sunday . Unfortunately , in the present state of things , but few had a week ' s provision before hand ; they lived from hand to mouth , and were these persons to starve all Sunday . He concluded by hoping that the gentlemen who were so forward in tbe movement would keep their tables well furnished on Sundays , and give those poor creatures a good dinner , who were prevented by their enactments from buying one of any sort .
The Rector again rose , and spoke at considerable length on the subject of barbers' shaving on Sunday morning , He knew several very pious persona who could nq $ r f" » ve them « elv « s , -and whose business prevented , their getting shaved on Saturday night ; . these persons got shaved on Sunday morning , and' always attended , place * of worship ; he considered it an act of necessity - it . wasmuch better to have a clean face and . gotoi place of worship , than stay at home onacsountof javing a dirty one . ¦ TheCHAiSHAN thought if we wished wsnigbiall learn to shave ourselves .
Mr-. CHAS . HOBSON next addressed the xaeetingv He said he had a wife and six children .

ROBBERY AND SUPPOSED MURDER OF MR . CHARLES SCHOFIELD , OF MANCHESTER . DISCOVERY OF THE BODY .
About six weeks ajo , Mr . Charles Schofteld , builder , &c , Every-strcet , Manchester , was missing from his family in a most mysterious manner , having never been heard of or C 2 en since the day of her Majesty ' s marnage , until he wa 9 found on Monday morning week , in the river Irwell . He had in bis pose : ssion when iast seen , a patent lever watch , which wps attached to a guard , a quantity of silver and covereigns , all of which are missing . Thrca £ 5 notes , and tome memorandum books were found in his possession . At the inquest , wh-ch was held on Monday afternoon , at the Ducie Arms , Strangeways , tfie following evidenca was adduced : —
John Thompson , of Gun-street , Ancoats , depoeed pfollows : —I discovered the body this morning about six o clock . I work for Mr . Trcps ; I was going to my work and a man on the other side of the wator nllcl to me to look whether something he nw in the water was a man or a dog . The body wps on ihe St ^ ngeways side of the river . I went to the place , between the bridge and Mr . Trees ' s yard . I went and got a rope , to which I fixed a stone and threw it to the body , which rose , and I discovered it to be the body of the deceased . The water is very low . When I discovered the body I pulled it to the side as well as I could , and having got assistance , we got it out of the -water . When the body was brought to the placo where it now lies , it was searched by two policemen . I did not know the deceased , and as to how the body got into the ' water I do not know . It was on a sand-bank in the bed of the river .
James Austin , a policeman , depored—I was called to the deceased about a quarter or twenty minutes past six this morning . The body was lyinj at the moor side on a board . I came with it to th « s plase . I ssked Mr . Trees if any one had examined the clothes ; he said no , but he had sent for me for that purpo > 3 . His coat was buttoned ; I searched h ' s pockets , and found a small ink bottle , a pen , a penknife , acorktcrew , a bunch of keys , a small pencil case , and come memoranda in his waistcoat pockets , one of which had his name upon it . I then went up to his father ' s house to acquaint him , and locked the door of the place , giving the key to attl Trees . When we came back his father eximinrd his coat pockets , and found two memorandum books , and a pocket book , containing three £ 5 notes of the Bank of England , the numbers on which correspondc i with those mentioned in the advertisement There was no other money upon him , nor was there a watch or watchguard .
Joseph Schofleld , publican , Ardwick , father of the deceased , depo-od that deceived was his son . Hew thirty-four years of > se lsst Christmas Day , and resided in Every-atroet . He was a builder by trade . He also collected Tents , j have seen the property produced , and can identify it as the prop « rty of my Bon . He was a teacher and conductor in Bank Meadow Sunday School for twenty years . He has been mlssm » since the 10 th of February . He was in my house he 3 i . , y and well on the 9 th . He had with him a patent lever watch and guard , which are missing . He had got a check changed a day or two before , for which he received four £ & notes and ten sovereigns . He was not a man that was given to liquor . I never know bira to be so but once in his life . He was always attentive to hi » business . He was at the Sunday School on the Sunday before he wW missing .
Richard Trees , joiner and builder ; Stiansewaye , deposed-1 nav « seen the deceaced on fprmer occasloBS , but was not paUicularly acquaipted with him . I w « s precent wiUiJUni » t a publk , dtaner , given at the Saaksneare Inn , Fountain-street , on tbe 10 th of Febiaary . We sat down to dinner at six o'clock , and the deceoied retired , u nearly as I can tell , about a quarter before nine o ' clock He "waa then quite sober . . JJe might have had a glass of Champagne . Mr . Howarth , who gave the dinner , gave a dozen of Champagne among th »* w « arty 4 oUr who-safc down . I did not take particoto notice whether be took any ' thing else , nor whetnur he Uiidtfwjrteh-Bp <» - } iim . -I-4 « -lutt-Juww
why he left eo early . I have noticed the river there has xto nwell since the 10 th of Febrnaiy . l am not able to say in what position the deceased ws » , ljiny witeniMtttU ^ He waa fomd about a hundred jarda aSSsKfev ^^ - ^^^ ^^^ Mr . Henry Oliver , snrgeon , deposed as folliwBT ^ made an inspectioa of tbe body . I went with Lockill and Mr . Mullen , and assisted them to remove the clothes and wash the body . After which I could not perceive any mark .. of violence whatever . I made an examination of tho body internally , and am clearly of opinion that death was produced by drowning . vHe had been in my opinion under the water many weeks . Deceased was apparently in a very healthy condition .
A Juror asked Mr . Oliver whether , if the deceased had received a blow or injury about the head , or been strangled , he could have perceived this , considering the length of time the body had been in the water ? Mr . Oliver answered in the affirmative . Mr . Ralph Horrocks deposed that he resided at No . 51 , Gun-street , and was acquainted with deceased . He was with him at the Shakspeare on the 10 th of February , and sat next to him at dinner . Before he went to the Shakspeare he said he must be away by eight o ' clock , for he bad an appointment with . Mr . Spencer , at his house in Holt Town , which is not far distant frem the residence of the deceased . The distance is about two miles from tbe place where the body was found .
Deceased left the Shakspeare about a quarter before nine o ' clock , and bid witness" Good night" He pulled ont bis watch about half past eight , and said " Horrocks ! I ' m past my time now . " He said he would just have another glass , and then he would go home and meet the party the next day . He waa then drinking sherry wine . He was at that time quite sober . He ( deceased ) was not invited to the dinner , bat just dropt in accidentally . While we were together I saw him pull some silver out of his pocket to-pay for his portion of a bottle of wine which was divided among four . He only bad one fourth of a bottle of sherry and two or three glasses of champagne . I ( witness ) a&ver saw him after he left the Shakspeare .
John Butcher , a police office * , » i Manchester , deposed j that he knew the deceased quite well , and saw him at the old watch-house , at the To * n Hall , at a little after eleven o ' clock on the night of the Queen ' s marriage . Witness rented a house under him , and fre-1 quentiy bad paid him rent . The reason why he came to the watch-house was besauce totaet gentlemen were brought in by some of th& policemen ,, and it appeared to the witness that he cams as a friend of theirs , and 1 to speak for them . Witness sapposing he might appeal to him , being a * officer , he withdrew to another . part of tbe office . He appeared to ¦» Itoesa to be forward in drink , and did not uemain at the office more than four or five minute * . The gentlemen -were not detained , and the change was nok entered into the -book * Witness heard of ate being m 3 ssii » 5 th © next day , and mentioned the etounutuace at the office on the same nisbt . ' '
Mr . Ratter s « 4 d there appeared at present to be no other , evidence , but it was for the Jury to say whether it would b <» advisable to adjourn the inquii / . The inqiiNbry was accordingly adjourned to yesterday afternoon *

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Friday , March 20 . ] The Earl of Roseberry , on presenting petitions Cram Stirling , for the immediate and entire abolition of the Corn Laws , observed that he thought the evils of which the petitioners complained were grossly exaggerated . The total abolition of the Com Laws , he considered , would , be a fearful shock to landed and all other property , and would produce the most injurious consequences to the labouring population . He thought , however , that a change might be made which would benefit the commercial and manufactming classes , without injuring the agricultural . The great inconvenience of the present system was its unceitalnty . A lower and fixed scale of duties would prevent fluctuations which were equally injurious to the ogriciiUunl and commercial dasae * ; -.. ¦¦ ¦ ¦ .
" Lord Asbburton observed , without desiring to cause discussion on petitions , that he was by ho means favourable to the present taw on its introduction , but that ityas hardly ; possible to conceive any aitiflcial systomfibat could work more perfectly .. His Lordship submitted that there had been less fluctuation in this country-tbsn in any other part of the worlil . Seeing the great < piantity imported , it was matter of surprise V ) tea how fully that supply had been brought in . When gentlemen talked of the dangers of fluctuation , they seemed to forget that the price of food , above all other articles , was that which necessarily varied to a great extent in price . When the lav was introduced ,

If they looked to otter ^ paitt ' ol" the ^ world , they would find that the fltiet « ition haia been more considerable . And as to the Corn 'taws having produced the present diffleultiea regarding the currency , he contended that no representation could be more fallacious . After receiving various other petitions , their laidships adjourned tfll Monday . Monday , March-23 . The royal assent was given , by commission , to various { chiefly private ) bills .
