THE NEW ACT FOR TUE RECOVERY OF SMALL DEBTS .
The Above Important Act Is Now In Full O...
The above important act is now in full operation ; and as its provisions ought to be extensively known , —especially amongst the industrial classes of the community , for whom it has been especially enacted , We have pleasure in quoting the following able summary from the last number of The Labourer : — The objects of the Act may be briefly stated to be these : —the establishment ot courts throughout different districts of the country , in which an uniform practice will be adopted for the adjudication of claims relating to small sums of money ( not exceedi . ns £ 20 ); the lessening of expense in relation to the enforcement or resistance of such claims ; and greater convenience to the partie * who mav be called upon to attend such courts . We will consider—I . The Judges and Officers of the Court . The judge of each court is to be appointed by the Lord Chancellor , and to be a barrister of
seven jciw standing ; he will not be allowed to practise as a barrister within the district of ivBicli he is a judge ; his salary will depend on j «'» ° ut mav oe reduced when it exceeds £ 1 , 200 a year ; die is removeable by the Lord Chancellor tor disability or misbehaviour . An attorney is to be appointed as clerk of thocourt , who is to issue the writs and other documents of the court , and to keep accounts of the proceedings and fees , lie is not , nor is any other officer of the court , by iimcelt or Ins partner , to be eng aged as an attornev
in tlie said court , under a penalty of £ 50 . A treasurerand a hij ; h bailiff arc also to be appointed ; the ormer by commissioners of the Treasury , the latter by foe judge of the court . The high bailiff may appoint assistant bailiffii , to serve and execute writs , and they are removeable at his pleasure or that of the judge ; the high bailiff himself may be removed by the jmfce , and is . to be responsible for the acts ot his assistants in the same manner as the sheriff of a county . 1 he salaries of all these officers are paid by Ices ; the salary ofthe . clerk is not to exceed £ 600 a jeir . 1 he clerk of the court is to provide servants and make contracts relating to the court and ofhecs . but neither he nor the treasurer is to be interested in the contract . II . The Court audits Process . —Its Mode of Proceed in 9 , and Jurisdiction . t l TVl' whichm & y b ( S called ^ eCounty Court , is to be ho den at such times as the iudce mav ml
point , sotliatitbeonee at least in everv calendar month . Every court is to have a seal , under which all its process is to issue ; and any person forcing the said seal or process shall be guilty of felony 1 . —The court may entertain claims , where the debt or damage does not exceed £ 20 . Such actions are to be heard and deferm .-ned in a summary wav . But the court is not to have cognizance of ( i . e . entertain the hearing of ) , any action of ejectment , er of any action in which the title to corporeal or incorporeal hereditaments , or to any toll , fair , market or franchise , shall be in question ; or in which the validity of any dense , bequest , or limitation under any will or settlement may be disputed , erofany action tor malicious prosecution , libel , or slander , criminal conversation , seduction , or breach of
nroraise ot marriage . Actions of replevin ( that is , for wrongfully taking goods . ) in cases of distress for rent , or lor animals causing damage , may be brought in this court , provided it te brought in the court for the district wherein the distress w as taken . Houses and tenements where the value or rent does not exceed £ 50 a year , and where no fine has been paid , may , when the term has ended , l > e recovered in this court . ( Ss . 122-127 give tho practical proceedings in this case , which it is not necessary here to detail . ) The balance of a partnership account , or the amount of a distributive share under an intestacy , or of alegaey under a will , may here be recovered , provided the sura claimed does not exceed £ 20 . A plaintiff may not divide a cause of action for the purpose of bringing two or more suits ; but if he has a cause of action for more than £ 20 , he may abandon the excess and recover the _ « . 20 , but the judgment for such sum will be in full discharge of all demands respecting such cause of ac ion .
2 . —No privilege shall exempt anj person from the jurisdiction of these courts . Persons undor twentyone years of age may sue for wages . Executors and administrators may sue and be sued , as if they were parties in their own right , and judgment and execution shall be such , as in like cases , in a superior court . 3 . —Where several parties are liable , any one may be sued to judgment and execution , and , after satisfaction of the judgment , rwy recover in this court contribution from any other person jointly liable . 4 . —A person desirous of suing under this act , should apply to the clerk of the court , who will enter the complaint in a book , and thereupon a summons stating the substance of the action will issue , and be
served on the defendant . No mistake in the name or description of person or place , if so described as to be commonly known , is to vitiate or injure the plaint or summons . It may be served out of the district of the court from which it issued . 5 . —On the day named in the summons the plaintiff and defendant are to appear ; the judge shall then proceed summarily to try the cause and give judgment , without any formal pleadings being requited . The p laintiff is to be restricted to the cause ^ . faction or demand stated in the summons ; the defendant may avail himself of the defence of set-off ( that is , Faying that the plaintiff owes him , the defendant , money , and that a balance ought to be struck ); or infancy ( that is , that he was under
twenty-one yearsol age when the debt was contracted , and that the debtwas not for necessaries ); coverture , ( that is , that defendant was a married woman when the debt was contracted ); or of the statute of limitations ( t , e . that six years have elapsed since the debt was due , and that since then defendant has not paid any part of it , er acknowledged it to be due in writing ); or discharge under the bankrupt and insolvent acts ; but such defences will not be allowed without the plaintiff ' s consent , unless notice has first been given to the clerk , who is to communicate it to the plaintiff . Moneys may be paid into court , where the defendant admits 8 om « thing to be due ; and if the plaintiff still goes on , but does notesta- '
Wish a claim to more than the money paid in , lie shall pay costs to defendant . 6 . —No person , unless he be a barrister or attorney , aha / 1 appear for a party without leave of the judge ; but by leave of the judge any other person may appear for the party . No person , however , not being a barrister or attorney , shall bo entitled to any fee for so attending . No attorney shall be entitled to any sum , unless the claim exceed 40 s . ; or to more tlat , 10 s . foe his fees and costs , unless the claim exceed £ 5 , or to more than I 5 s » in any case . In no case shall any fee freyond £ 1 3 s , 0 d . be allowed for employing a barrister . The plaintiff will have to pay the fee of his attorney or barrister , unless he recover to the amount of £ 5 , ai ? d the defendant will have to pay for his attorney or Jbarrister where the sura claimed does not amount to # 5 ; but this fee will

not be paid by the unsuccessful party in any cas ' . > unless thejudge orders it . ' 7—The judge alone is to determine all questions of fact and law , except where a jury is summoned . 8 . —In actions for sums exceeding £ 5 , the piuintin or defendant may have a jury ; in actions not exceeding £ 5 , the judge in his discretion may order a trial by jury on the application of either party , who , if he desire this mode of trial , should give notice thereof to the clerk , and pay to him 6 s . tor the payment of the jury , which sum , if he succeed , will bii repaid to him by the opposite party , unless the judge otherwise order .

If the defendant do not appear or excuse his absence , or if he neglect ( o answer when called , thejudge , on proof of service of the summons , may hear the cause on the part of the plaintiff , and the judgment tlierron will be valid , as if both parties had attended . On sufficient cause , however , being shown , thejudge may set aside such judgment and the exe . cution thereon .
12 . —The judge may grant time to either party , and may adjourn any courl , or tho hearing of any
cause . ... . 13 , —Parties to the action , their wives , and all other persons , may be examined at the trial on oath or affirmation . Persons giving false evidence shall be deemed guilty of perjury . Parties to the suit may obtain , at the cleik ' s office , summonses to witnesses , to be served by one of the bailiffs of the court , with or without a clause requiring production of books and documents . In such summons any number of names may be inserted . A fine not exceeding £ 10 may be imposed by thejudge on a witness neglecting to appear on this summons , ( proper expenses having been paid or tendered , ) and also on persons in court refusing to give evidence . The party injured by tbe neglect or refusal is to be indemnified out of the fine .
14 . —Judgments are to be final , except that the judge may non-suittha plaintiff , ( which allows him to bring a second action for the same cause , ) or grant a new trial . The debt or damages may be ordered to be paid by instalments . 15 . —In case of cross judgments ( that is , of each party having a judgment auainstthe other , ) execution is to be taken out by the party , who has obtained judgment for the larger sum , only for the excess .

If the party summoned do not attend or allege a suffic i ent excuse , or refuse to bo sworn , or to answer to the judge's satisfaction , or if it appear to thejudge that such party . ifa defendant , in incurring the debt , has 1 .

Stbawnu Tt/Kwfs.—At The Exeter Assizes, ...
Stbawnu Tt / KWFs . —At the Exeter assizes , J . Shute ( 37 ) , a labouring man , of very decent appearance , was indicted for stealing seven turnips , the property of his master , at Northara , on the 23 rd of February . Mr . Whyte prosecuted . The prisoner was a labourer in the employ ot Capt . Keats , at Northam , and on the day mentioned he went into the cow-house , for the purpose of feeding the cow * , when hia master ' s coachman ( who was watching his movements ) saw him put some turnips into his pocket . Immediately afterwards , the coachman said to him , " John , why are you carrying away Up se ] turnips ? " and the prisoner denied the charge . Whereupon the coachman told him that he bad seen him tane them away , and the prisoner then begged
to be forgiven . A confession made by the prisoner before the committing magistrate was put in , and it stated that he had taken the turnip * , but that he had never done anything of the kind before . "He thought there was no harm in it , as food was so dear . " It appeared , in answer to a question from the learned judge , that the prisoner was a married man with two children , and that his wages were only 9 u a week , ill ' s lordship then inquired who laid the information in this case , and one of the witnesses stated that it was Capt . Keats , the prisoner ' s master . The learned judge , in summing up , remarked that tbat case was one of a very trifling nature , but , nevertheless , it was the duty of the jury to find tho prisoner guilty , if they thought the charge had been
proved against him . Verdict—Guilty . His lordship said it was very melancholy to see arespeciabklteking man charged with such an offence as the present , but the law would not allow him to take from his master even a fetv turnips without permission . As he had already been in gaol three weeks , he should now only sentence him to two days' imprisonment . This prosecution excited great disgust in court , and when his lordship was informed that similar " depredations" had been committed on former occasions upon Capt . Keats ' s property , he replied that it was a hard case that a man , whose wages were not more than 9 s . a week , should be sent to prison amongst the " scum of \ . \ a earth" for taking ( even turnips from his master .
CuriiNG Ann wounding . —At the Oxford assizjs , Ellen Ilall ( 43 ) who had a child in her arms , was indicted for cutting and wounding Mary Hull , at Rugby , on the 27 th of January , with intent to murder , to maim , and disfigure , or do her some grievous bodily harm . The unfortunate little girl has since died . She was 12 years of age , and lived with her lather and the prisoner , who was her stepmother . About seven o ' clock in the morning the child entered Lord Talbot ' s colliery at Rugelcy , having on only » petticoat and chimese . There was a cut on her face The manager , Mr Thompson , asked her how she got the wound , as she was crying . Tliey told her that her mother was coming , and she appeared very much frightened . Her mother asked if she had said she
turned her out of doors ? The little girl said nothing 1 he prisoner then took hold of the child , and struck her asiainst the door frame ; if she had not caught against the door , she would have gone against the engine . The little girl then ran away , and the prisoner looked about the engine-bouse for her , but could not find her , and nothing more was heard of the poor child until some hours afterwards , when she was found dead in ' the bottom of a well near , with twenty wounds upon her body . Suspicion naturally attached to the prisoner . An inquest was held , and great excitement prevailed ; but there was no legal evidence to fix the prisoner with the horrid crime of murdering her ltusb . nd ' s child . The little child being dead , there was no available evidence , and alter the trial had proceeded some way , his lordshio
directed an acquittal on that ground . The prisoner was tiien tried on an indictment , charging her with three assaults on the deceased . The jury found her Guilty . Mr . S ergeant Gazeiee said there was no doubt but the prisoner had greatly accelerated , if she bad not actually caused the death of the poor child by her inhuman conduct . He then sentenced her to six months' imprisonment . ^ G eneral Misconduct— At the Insolvent Debtors ' Court , Wm . Waiuwcight was opposed by two learned counsel for Messrs Thomas , attorneys , and for Mr Black . The insolvent had been a billiard-tablekeeper , a tobacconist , and a bill-broker , and had also been connected with various loan societies . The complaint ot the opposing creditors was for general misconduct . He had carried on business for
the last twenty years in Fore-street , City , where he had kept a billiard-table-that business was now carried on by the insolvent ' s son , who was underage , and from whose examination it appeared he had paid his father £ 90 for the property in Fore-street , which money he bad won at billiards . He also informed the court that he had within the last two years won , at least , 3001 , also at billiards . The case occupied the court the whole of the day in an inquiry as to the disposition of Me property , and at length was adjourned for complete evidence .
Poaching asd Manslaughter . —At Exeter , on Monday , Henry Warren , aged 20 , was indicted for the wilful murder of Wm . Setter , at CcombL'inteigiihead on the 5 th Sept . last . Mr Rowe aud Mr Cox for the prosecution ; Mr Stone for the defence . The deceased wasemployed as a watchman against poachers . On Saturday night , the 5 th Sept ., between eleven and twelve o ' clcck , the deceased , with a man named Norman , gardener to Sir W , Carew , heard the report of a gun . They proceeded to call Harris , the gamekeeper , and whilst he was preparing to have the house two other shots were fired . Harris came out , and further assistance having been . procured , the party went intotbefields whence the reports appeared to issue . They also came to an understanding that
should one ot them see any one going towards Newt . n , he was to call out " Gate ; " and , if in the opposite direction , tbe word "Field" was to be the signal . Wra . Setter and Robert Rendell were of the party who went towards Blindwell Field , and Harris , the gamekeeper , with three others , proceeded to a field called " Stoodley Break . " In the course of a lew minutes the word " Gate" was called by those whom the deceased had joined , and immediately afterwards a shot was tired . This shot was thus explained : Harris and his party , on hearingtho cry of " Gate . " ran towaids the spot , and when they arrived at Kilnfield Break they saw the prisoner with the deceased and Robert Rendell . Rendell had seized the prisoner , and desirtd Harris to assist him . W . Setter ,
thedeceased . had his hand upon the prisoner ' s head , and appeared to be in pain . Harris asked him , what was the matter ; and he answered " I am shot , " or , " that fellow has shot me . " Harris , the keeper , asked the prisoner why he had shot the man ; and he replied , " I have done it nnd 1 am veiy sorry for it ; 1 wish the gun hiid broken in pieces when first I took it up . " This account of the transaction was carried somewhat further by the evidence of Robert Rendell , who stated that when he and Setter arrived at Kiln-field gate , they heard somebody coming throughUhe hed ^ e . Immediately afterwards the prisoner approached them , carrying n double-barrelled gun , and when he was within f » ur paces of the deceased he lifted his gun to his shoulder . Seeing he was about to fire .
Rendell called out , " You had batter not fire ; " but before he could repeat the words , the prisoner discharged one barrel of his gun at the deceased , and then fired the other at Rendell . Rendell was not struck , and he immediately seized the prisoner with his left hand , whilst he held the gun in his right . A soufile ensued , and Rendell having placed his gun on the ground , it went off , and the contents tore up the ground for some distance . The other men had by this time come to Rendell ' s assistance , and the pri . soner having been secured , attention was paid to the deceased , who was then groaning from pain . It was found that he had received a wound in tho upperpart of the stomach . On the following afternoon , at two o ' clock , he died , and a . post mortem examination took place , when several shots , a link of a watch-chain , and a piece of wadding , was found in his stomach .
Mr Store addressed the jury for the prisoner , avid contended that there was no ' t sufficient evidence to prove that the death of the deceased was caused by the violence oi the prisoner . It was very possible that the deceased had received the wound from the shot which was h > d at Robert Rendell , or from the gun which went off accidentally . Assuming , however , that the prisoner did fire at Setter , and that Setter ' s death was the consequence , there was no evidence of any malice on the prisoner's part . If the keepers had not been armed with guns , doubtless the man ' s death would not have ensued . He contended that thecase was not free from doubt , and that , therefore , the prisoner was entitled to an acquittal . After Mr Justice Williams had summed up , the jury retired , and after an absence of about half an hour returned into court with a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter . Sentence deferred .
Arson . —LisrtsiNo Policemen . —At Cambridgeon Tuesday , William Francis was indicted for having set fire to two stacks of wheat , of tbe value of X 400 . The evidence was , fo . r the most part , of the circumstantialkind usual on such occasions , being a history of the prisoner ' s proceedings on tbe day of the fire , and thenceforward to his being taken into custody . It presented also the customary account of threatening language used by the prisoner , and oi a com . parison of impressions made by the shoes ol the prisoner with certain ^ ootmarks in the neighbourhood of the stack . The only novelty was , that when an inspectorof police was called to speak about statements said to have been made by the prisoner whilst in his cell , it turned out that the inspector had overheard
them by listening at tbe door ot the cell . Mr Justice Coleridge thereupon interposed , and said that in this case , a tall events , such evidence might be rejected , because the person to whom the statements had been made could be called . In any case , however , he should receive with the greatest reluctance , if , indeed he should not reject , evidence so obtained , for it was impossible tbat a jury should not suspect , and perhaps disbelieve , all the evidence of a person who had descended to such unworthy means of gaining information . The inspector then urged tbat be had often been blamed for not having on similar occasions , listened to what had been said . Mr Justice Coleridge said that if such a course of proceeding was suggested to policemen it conld no longer be » matter of wonder that an ill opinion" p * ' them was en-

tertained , and that their testimony was rece ^ with distrust . It must , however , VobvioU ' ? every person of good sense and ^ ood feelliw J ? might 6 e discharging the duties oU policemSn tfe such a mode , of obtaining evidence VS " a'i ^ accused of crime was most improper . Mi NaS ? who . conducted the prosecution , deferred £ « v » opinion of the learned judge Mr Metcalfe , dJresZ the jury for the defence . Mr Justice ColerUhl 2 ? mg summed up with great minuteness , the ? n £ returned a verdict of Guiltv . and the prisonpc * sentenced to bo transported for ten years ** Bioam ? . —At the Norfolk Assizes . Jane IhJ ™ . aged 20 , was iddictcd for bigamy . It appeared ' that ' in October , 1836 . the prisoner was married to Geoii Baker , who worked in a cotton-mill . She lived with him but a short time , but two years afterwards thev came tosether again for a . time , and then auiin parted , having had one child . In January last vm ? the prisoner agron married Henry Hyde , her f „ rni ^ husband being then and still alive . She said sh » was not lawfully married to Baker , because she had
married him in a wrong name , and that she had married him in a wrong name in order that she might leave him when she liked . Mr Baron Alder son told the jury they had nothing to do with th » question as to the name of the prisoner , 'f j , Jll question for them was , whether tbe prisoner was the person who was married to Baker , there beins n » doubtit was she who married Hyde . The jury liav ing found her guilty , his lordship told her that the law would not permit her to take advantage of her own fraud in marrying in a false name , had she indeed done so . As against her , at all events , the first marriage was valid . As , however , so much injury was not inflicted by the commission of this offenco by a woman as by a man , he should onlv sentence her to be imprisoned , and kept to hard labour , for three calendar months .
False Impbisonmbnt . —Ttlbr asd Wife v . Rot , J , Dudley and Another .. —This was an action to recover damages for false imprisonment . The defendants are two of t he magistrates of the Li ugh borough district ; M , A . Tyler is the wife of the other plaintiff , a labourer , living at Wymeswold , Leicestershire : This woman had a difference with another of her own sex , and epitfWs were exchanged , the result of which was an application to the magistrates against the female prisoner . She acknowledged she had made use of the offensive epithet imputed to her , and expressed regret at having done so . The magistrates ( the present defendants ) said they had no jurisdiction in a case of bad language , and cautioned her to be
careful for the future , dismissing the complaint , and ordering Mrs Tyler to pay the costs to the amount of £ 118 s . The poor woman said she could not payshe was told she must pay in a week , or go to prison . At the nest weekly meeting plaintiff attended and stated she had a family of small children , she was poor , and could not pay the costs imposed , and that , if it was insisted , she must go to prison . To prison ' she accordingly went , for costs , in a case in which themagistrates said they had no j nrisdiction ! It seems that one of the visiting magistrates ( Hodgson ) seeing this person in the gaol , and being Struck with her cleanly appearance , inquired the reason of her being there , and upon being informed , he made it his
business to see the commitment , and feeling it was bad , be communicated with the clerk of the peace , who confirmed Mr Hodgson in bis previously-fermed opinion . It appeared from the commitment , that the magistrates in this very case , in which they dismissed the complaint lor the want of jurisdiction , had actually sentenced this woman , whose character W 38 without spot or blemish ( save in this instance ) , to fourteen days'imprisonment and hard labour , merely for default of payment of fees which they had no right to impose . Upon application to the Secretary of Stale she was released . Actions were then brought by the plaintiff for the loss of his wife ' s service , and a second action in their joint names . In both , five
pounds had been paid into court , and a plea entered of no further damage . In the action by the husband ajone , the five pounds had been taken out in satisfaction , fcnt , the joint action was proceeded with . This case would have been tried at the last assizes , but for the application of the defendants to postpone it , on the ground of the absence of a material witness .. Since that time they had made the case a special jury . The learned judge told the jury the magistrates had clearly mistaken the law . They had no juris , diction in the casebrougbt before them , and the only question for the jury was , whether the five pennds 1 paid into court were a sufficient compensation for the damage sustained . The jury gave for the plaintiff , fifteen pounds over and above the sum paid intocourt .

Irish Cosfkdettatiom.—On Sunday Evening ...
Irish CosFKDEttATioM . —On Sunday evening a very respectable meetins ol " Confederates , " took place at Cartwright ' s Coffee-house , Red-cross-street . City . Mr Dwaine was called to the chair , and explained tho objects of the body . They wished every man to enjoy full freedom of speech , and to do away with that anti-cliristian feeling that kept alive petty jealousies md immeanimr prejudices between man and man . ( Cheers . ) They a ' so had in view to inlist the aid of the public press , in furtherance of persuading the people to abandon the public-houses . He often wondered that O'Connell had not strove to effect , so desirable a change . He . did not reject the drunkards , but he refused tha aid of the Chartists ,
( Hear , hear . ) Mr D . concluded a very effectiva speech , by expressing his readiness to hear any man ftiMy nnd ? a ' u \ y , whether English , Irish , or Scotch ; Ireland was his country , but the world was bis republic . ( Cheers . ) Mr Clancy rose , in accordance with the not ' ee which be had given of bringing the rules of the Confederation before the meeting . He denied the assertion of Mr M'Gee , " That the volunteers of Dnngannon did not strike for liberty of conscience ; when they struck for freedom of trade they \ m * h » ck ' ed the limbs , but they did not unbind the souls of Irishmen . " He ( Mr C . ) had a preat veneration for the volunteers of ' 82 . On tbe first of July , 17 S 3 , a meetinc of delegates from 45 companies of volunteers of the province of Ulster , —" resolved
unanimously that a general meeting of the volunteer army of the province of UUter , on the subject of a more equal representation of the people in Parliament , is hereby earnestly entreated to he held at Duncannon , on Monday , the fifth day of September next . " Again , the committee in ' theirreport , — " trust that the spirit of firmness and integrity , which has already restored this ancient kingdom to her rank in the nations , will crown the Sth of September , 1783 , as a day which is to form the groundwork of interna ! emancipation . " Again : resolved unanimously : — " That a committee of five persons from each county be now chosen by ballot , to represent this province in a grand National Convention , to be held at noon , in the Roval Exchange .
Dublin , on tbe 10 th day of November , to digest and publish a plan of Parliamentary reform , and to pursue such measures as may appear to them most likely to render it effectual , to adjourn from time to time and convene provincial meetings if necessary . " They closed tlieir proceedings with an address to the volunteer armies of the other provinces , of which the following is a passage : — "Through her four provincial assemblies let Ireland's temperate declarations flow to one common centre , and there , matured into an extensive plan ofreform . be produced as the solemn act of the volunteer army ot Ireland , as a demand of rights robbed of which the unanimated form of a free government would be a curse , and existenw itself cease to be a blessing . " The reading of these
soul-stirrmg resoluti 'ns « eeiued to rivet the attention of all present . Mr C . concluded by moving for a committee to prepare an address to the council of the . Confederafon . Mr Sullivan seconded the motion . Mr Archdeacon rose and very eloquently complimented the members on the exertions they were making , in furtherance of the glorious work tbey had in band . He would moveth . it the question be jHvjwrcned till that day month . Mr Manly briefly seconded the motion . After some discussion , Mr Clancy said he would consent to the postponement till that day four weeks . The usual vote ot thanks was given to the talented chairman , and the meeting separated at twelve o ' clock . Ragged Schools . —Kjsg's cross . —On Tuesday thi second annual meeting of the friends and supporters
ofthcKintts-cross Ragged Schools took place at the Music Hall , Store-street . Lord Ashley presided , and , in opening the business , observed that they had met on a most appropriate occasion , being on the evening preceding the day appointed for the general fast ; and he thought , amongst all our national sins , none were greater than that of tbe long neglect we had exhibited towards such poor children as those who attended their Ragged Schools . The report congratulated the meeting at the successful results of their labours ; the boys attending now amounted to 35 , and the girls to 05 , most of whom had made considerable progress , the girls particularly . There was , however , at present a great want of teachers , and it was desirable that they should have some paid teachers . The receipts of the past year had been £ 73 4 s . -Ud . ; and , after defraying the ne essary expenses , a balance of £ 12 s . 2 H . remained in the hands of the treasurer .

Verdict : —'' Sabveb ' em Right . " — Beneath the tropical mn of Mexico , amidst the acid sands of tbe Rio del Norte , and its sweeping floods of waters , theirchivalrous spirits withered away and died ere they could encounter the foe . An enemy far more powerful than the Mexican arms met them as they landed upon its shore , and struck them , down in hundreds before their armour was on them for tho fight . And all who were spared from tho ravages of disease , amongst the thousands who came so full of ardour t » the field , how few are now left to do their country service ! Not one half . Nor will these be tempted to remain after their term of service isup . Nothing can persuade them to do so . With them every C 0 E « sidcratK / n of patriotism is gone , and not thelu ° heBt prospect ot military renown , or the certainty " of a brilliant campaign to the "Halls of Montezuma !" will induce them to renew their obligations to their country . They are sick and tired of the war—and bitterly disgusted nith campaigning l-lmer in tk mv York Express
