COUBT OF BASKBOPTCT . " Monday . — The Wise Tbabe .-tIn be _Jasyis axd _Jabyis . — A suh-division court was appointed to he held this day for the purpose of the further examination of a Mr . James _Beckenhrun , of York-road , Lambeth , cigar manufacturer , between whom and the bankrupts there had been extensive dealings in wines , & c ; hut the accounts relating to which were deemed so unsatisfactory * by the learned commissioner ( Mr . Commissioner Goulburn ) , before whom the case in the matter Of Jarvis Was heard , that the present hearing was considered to he necessary . The evidence ofthe witness was in substance as follows : —ily name is James Beckenham , and I have carried ou business for tlie last four years as a cigaraierchaiit in the York-road , Lambeth , and as a winemerchant in the _Bdvldere-road , and the only books 1 used
were a ledger , an order-hook , and a banker ' s book . The enly account my ledger contained was that" if there was any _customer whom I regularly served , and to whom I gave credit , that I there kept an account of it , " and the order-book contained the orders I received from my customers ; bat I have notthese booKshere to-day . I began to deal with Ihe bankrupt Jarvis on the 26 th of March , 1844 , and my last transaction with him was on the 3 rd of January last , " according to the statement which has been delivered to me . " I have no means of testing the accuracy of that statement ; but I have receipts from Jarvis , and memoranda in my banker ' s book , of payments which I made to liim . At the time the goods were delivered , I kept the invoices uutil I settled with him , when I paid the balance due to him , and received a receipt in full . In the nine or ten months of your dealing with
Jarvis , what was the amount of wines which you received from him ?—The invoices might be _between £ 5 , 000 and - £ 6-, 0 C 0 , hut the value was very little . These wines were delivered in different parcels , and at different times . I purchased by " sample , " aud we agreed upon a price when I " tasted , " but our dealing was principally one of barter for cigars , and some money . The wines delivered , however , did not all accord with the samples . Then why did you not return them?—Because , having taken them in barter , I was bound to keep them . The examination of this witness was proceeded with at great length , as to the amounts purchased at different periods from Jarvis , hut he could not speak positively . He had borrowed £ 100 from Jarvis , to whom he subsequently lent , but could not recollect if he had any vouchers for either transaction . He had paid Jarvis for the wines about £ 700 in cash , and
the difference in cigars ; the invoitfe price ofthe purchases being about £ -5 , 700 . He had supplied Jarvis with a great many thousand pounds weight of cigars , and he sent him some previously to the settlement of the 2 nd of October , perhaps a month before that time ; and he bought them , to the best of his recollection , from a person of the name of Strong , of Watling-street . They were East India cigars , and were sold at about 18 s . per pound without the duty , although the market price would not be more than one-half that sum , He bought the cigars in barter , and ne sold them in barter . The delivery of the cigars to Jarvis could be very easily ascertained . Be received the wines at his own vaults , and they were delivered by Jarvis's own porter , or by his wine-cooper . Witness here detailed the periods and amounts of his payments to
those parties , and his examination having concluded , Mr . Commissioner Fonblanque : What is it you ask , Mr . Wilkins ?—ilr . WUkins : —That this man , sir , should be committed for having given about as unreasonable and improbable an account of his transactions with Jarvis as it was possible to imagine . Here was a man havinglarge transactions In trade , who said he had no bill-book , no cash-book , and if the interests of trade were to be protected , this man should not be allowed to escape scot free . The learned commissioners haviug consulted for a short time , each declared that there was not enough in this case to justify the commitment of Btckenham , though , npon further inquiry and examination , they might feel it necessary to resort to such an extreme proceeding .
COURT OF _COMMON PLEA "" Cbim Cos . —Clabk _« . _Dgnsfobd . —This was an action brought by an attorney resident in Bristol against a medical practitioner ofthe same city for compensation in damages , on the ground of criminal conversation had by the plaintiff with the defendant's wife ; the damages were laid at ten thousand pounds . The case occupied tbe court the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday . The Attorney-General , Mr . Sergeant Talfourd , Mr . Butt , Q . C ., and another learned gentleman represented the plaintiff ; Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr . Sergeant Channell were for the defendant .
It appeared that the defendant had been introduced to the plaintiff and his family b y his brother , with whom the defendant had been in partnership ! that he had acted occasionally , in slight cases , as a medical adviser , and was always received as a private friend . He had , accordingly , free and unsuspected access to the house ot the plaintiff as a visitor . The husband and wife had lived upon terms of mutual confidence , kindliness , and affection , up to the period ofthe defendant ' s introduction to bcr society . The argument in favour of the guilt of the defendant and 3 Irs . Clark ranged under the three heads of circumstantial evidence : tlie first relating to the special visits alluded to of the defendant at the plaintiff ' s house ; the second , to the lady ' s leaving home on frequent occasions in the absence of her husbaud at an early hour , such as ten o ' clock a . m ., and remaining out until four or
five o ' clock In the afternoon ; and the third , to the fact ofthe defendant having , under a feigned name taken lodgings at Bath , where he was in the habit , at intervals of time , of receiving a lady , to whom he described himself as privately married—this lady , as alleged , being the plaintiff's wife . The second interview which took place between the parties at the plaintiffs house , was that which produced the most large and positive evidence . At _therfirst , it only appeared the defendant prolonged his stay for several hours , and tbat Esther Bc-van , ongoing into the drawing-room after his departure , saw that the sofa was much tossed , and that Mrs . Clark looked confused . Between this and the second visit a good many days elapsed , and a change had beeu made in tbe furniture of the library . On this occasion , Esther Bevan , planted herself at the door ( it did not appear whether
-she did or did not apply either eye or ear to the keyhole ) . But , at all events , she saw nothing . She however heard , she swore , the sound of a kiss , and afterwards the following fragment of a dialogue . The defendant , addressing the lady , said , "If I do love you better than any other woman in the world , what need yen speak of it ? You say to me , be cautious , be cautious , but you yourself say things that must make us suspected . " " Why , what did I say V responded the lady . "I will tell you—I will tell you as I heard it , " quoth the defendant ; but before he had time to gratify the parlour-maid ' s curiosity by doing so , the hall-door bell rang , and , faithful to her duty , she obeyed the summons and ran down stairs , without lingering for a moment to hear more . At a third interview , which , like the two preceding , took place when the plaintiff was
out of town , as usual , lasted four hours . The alleged criminality between the defendant and the lady at Bath was next entered on . Maria Withers stated she -was aster ofa Uts . _Seenes , the keeper of a lodging-house in Norfolk-street , Bath . In July , 1 S 44 , while her sister was away , and the house in the charge ofthe witness , a gentleman who gave the name " of Lisle called upon her with the view of taking apartments , He stated that he had been privately married , and that it was necessary his * wife and he should for the present keep the secret ; and it suited him to take np his quarters somewhere in Bath . She wrote to her sister , and having received her sanction , got her nephew , a lad named Kiuchen , to write to Mr . Lisle , at the British and Foreign Hotel , Hanoversquare , London , and say his terms were accepted . Afterwards he came to sleep at the house several times ,
coming at night and staying till the following evening . On each occasion he stated that he expected Mrs . Lisle ; and a lady each time did come , shortly after ten o ' clock , and remained with him till about four , when she departed alone , he leaving at the later hour of half-past eight or nine o ' clock . This occurred four times . Mrs . Xeedes and Kinchen corroborated the evidence of this witness . All the witnesses had seen Mrs . Clark and Mr . Dunsford since those transactions , and identified them as the persons she had known in Bath as Mr . and Mrs . Lisle . Hall , a police-officer , had taken these witnesses to the house of Mr . Dunsford for the purpose of identifying him . On mentioning his object to the defendant , he said , "What is done cannot be undone . " The witnesses had
also identified Mrs . Clark as the lady they had seen under the name of Lisle . It appeared from the evidence of Mr . H . Clark , that subsequently to the exposure the defendant said it was the story over again of Joseph and Tofipliar ' s wife , and that at any time five words from him might have won her , meaning the plaintiff s wife . This ¦ was the substance of the plaintiff's case . Ho witnesses were called by Sir Thomas "Wilde for the defence . He at once proceeded to address the jury , and contended that , from the evidence before them , there was no direct Or positive proof of adnltrey , or of anything even , if they gave entire credence to the witnesses , which would establish more than a case of very grave suspicion . Mr Justice Cresswell summed up .
The jury retired , and , after half an hour ' s deliberation , returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , £ 5 , 000 . FsiDAT . —HOLHES tJ . THE MA 6 TEK , _WiKDESS , ASD COMHOXALTY . OF THE MTSTEBY OF _PoEHDEBS . —Thiswas an action to recover compensation in damages , by reason of injuries sustained by the plaintiff , and for costs and charges , and for loss of . time and of profits in business , through the acts ofthe defendant ' s , in having dug a hole opening into a public footway , and neglecting to cover or secure it , whereby the _plantifl-, in _exemsins Ms lawful right of using this public footway , fell into the hole . The plaintiff ha _> l been an eating-house keeper ; the injuries suffered were severe—a compound fracture ofthe leg , and a dislocation of tlie ancle . For ten weeks he had been Confined to his bed , for several months—he was _stiU "in the hands of the _doctoi" '—he had of course endured grievous pain ; Ms health and strength had been considerably _atTectcd ; and the sum he had actually paid for medical attendance amounted ' to X 2 S . The jury found a verdict , after a lew minutes consideration , for the plaintiff ; damages £ 1-50 ;

' The case occupied the court the whole of the day . The speeches were mostly a repetition of the facts and arguments with which our readers are already _cenversant . The Judges then , at 5 o'clock , retired . No judgment is expected to he publicly given ; but the opinion of their Lordships will be communicated in the proper quarter . If it be that the conviction is bad , the Home Secretary will be advised to recommend a free pardon ; if the contrary , the law will he allowed to take its course when the respite expires .

Monday.—Cuttisg And Wouhding.—William Ca...
Monday . _—Cuttisg and Wouhding . —William Carney , Benjamin Barnett , and William Lewis , were placed at the bar , charged with cutting and wounding two police constables , Edward _Burgess and Joseph Bray , whilst in the execution of their duty , with the intent to do them grievous bodily harm . Mr . Bodkin having stated the case to the jury , proceeded to call the witnesses . — Edward Burgess , police constable , 19 SII , said he was on duty , in plain clothes , in the Whitecbapel-road , at haltpast eight o'clock in the evening of the 13 th of November . As he was passing before the King ' s Arms public-house he saw a horse and cart slop before the door of the public-house . In the cart were two men , known as associates of thieves . In consequence of this he called a brother officer ( Bray ) and left him in charge of the cart ,
whilst he entered the public-house . Whilst in the publiChouse he saw several men , all associates of thieves , but could not nnd the two men who drove the cart . He then came out of the public-house . He said to Bray , " Come along ; we must bring their cart and horse to the station-house . " They had already laid hold of the horse ' s head , one ou each side , when somewhere about twenty men rushed out of the public-house aud surrounded them crying out uot to let the constables take away the cart . Carney attempted to get up into it , but did not succeed in doing so . Lewis and Barnett were also amongst the crowd round the cart , Barnett said to Burgess , " It ' s Burgess ,-let go the cart , itbelongetohim " ( pointing to a man ofthe name of Myers , who was sitting in the cart . ) Burgess said lie should take away the cart , and whilst doing so he was struck two or three blows in
the chest by lewis . Immediately after Carney struck him on the face and cut the end of his nose almost off , the end only holding by a small piece of skin . The blow was immediately repeated , and took effect Oil the left temple _. He immediately fell , and was taken to a doctor by two of the persons present . He was afterwards taken to the hospital . The officer then stated that he knew all the prisoners at the bar as thieves and associates of thieves . Joseph Bray corroborated the evidence of Burgess . He saw Carney open a penknife and attempt to cut the nose off Burgess . Mr . Henry Shirley Saunders , surgeon at the London Hospital , stated that Burgess had been brought there on the 13 th , at ten o ' clock in the evening . There was a gash on his nose inflicted evidently by some sharp instrument . The cartilage and the whole ol the left wing of the nose had been separated . There
was also a gash on the left temple . They were both clean cuts , andmightharebeeninflictedby _apen-knife . Carney , on being called on for defence , said he was innocent of the charge brought against him , and that be was a long distance from London on the evening of the 13 th . No witnesses , however , were called in proof of this fact . Mr . Payne having addressed the jury for the defence of Barnett , proceeded to call witnesses t » prove that Barnett was not the man who struck the constable Bray . The Recorder having summed up , the jury , after some deliberation , returned a verdict of guilty against all tinprisoners . A former conviction for felony was proved against Carney . The Recorder then sentenced Carney to be transported for the term of his natural life , and Lewis and Barnett to be transported severally for fourteen years . The prisoners were then taken away , loudly protesting their innocence .
Kiimng akd Slating . —John Horrobm , aged 29 , was indicted for that he on the 22 nd of November , at St . George the Martyr , Southwark , did feloniously make an assault on Mary Horrobin , his wife , that he struck her with both his hands on her head , face , and body , and inflicted divers mortal wounds and contusions , whereof she lingered until the 24 th day of November last , when she died ; and the indictment further stated that he , the prisoner , did feloniously kill and slay . There were counts , one of which charged the prisoner with inflicting divers mortal wounds with _ascertain knife . The prisoner also stood charged with manslaughter , on the coroner ' s inquisition for the county of Surry . _Uo counsel appeared for the prisoner , whose appearance indicated great distress and wretchedness . Mr . Flatt stated the case for the prosecution , which was promoted by the parish
officers of St , George ' s . --Bryant , an intelligent little girl , stated that she lodged in the same house as the prisoner and his late wife . On the night named in the indictment , she heard a noise up stairs , and something like quarrelling . High words passed , and as she thought blows . She at length went up to tbe room , when she saw the deceased lying dressed on the bed , and the prisoner was in the room , and seemed a good deal excited . The deceased complained of ill usage . Witness then left , and went into her own room , where she remained for an hour , when the disturbance up stairs recommenced with renewed violence . Witness and her mother then went up to the room , and other persons came in . Of the number who came was a Mrs . Bland , who found that the deceased was very bad , and appeared to have been beaten . She bled very freely , and , on examination , an incised
wound was discovered in the back . Mrs . Bland went in quest ofa doctor , and witness went after the prisoner ' s son to inform him . The doctor came after her return , and examined the deceased , and pronounced her very badly injured . Several other persons wese examined , but their evidence did little more than confirm that of the witness Bryant Mr . Commissioner Bullock called upon the prisoner for his defence . Tbe prisoner said he had little to say as to the facts which the witnesses had stated , since he had only put questions to one of them . He would not deny that an altercation took place , or that he had drank too freely on the night in question . He declared before God and man , that he was innocent of inflicting any death-blow . It was all accidental . She went out more than once in the course of the evening , and once she fell down , and she might then have
injured her back . He had lived for the last five years with his wife , as his children ( now present ) could prove . He concluded convulsively exclaiming , " I loved that woman as I loved my life . I declare to Gcd , andyou , mylord , I never killed her . " Mr . Commissioner Bullock summed up to the jury , and in the commencement observed that the case was one of a very doubtful nature . There was great confusion in the evidence of the first and most important witness as to the time when the injuries were inflicted . It would seem that the deceased made some sort of declaration as to how she came by her wounds , but that could notbeusedin evidence ; it did not , however , appear , except in one instance , which cannot be received ,
that she implicated the prisoner . It also appeared that he manifested great anxiety about his wife , and . sent for a doctor . The snrgeon had discovered a great effusion of blood on the brain , and was of opinion that might have caused death . Some knives had been produced , but they did not appear to have been recently used , nor could an inference be drawn as to their having inflicted the wound on the back , The jury had heard what the prisoner had said by way of defence . He had declared that he lived on amicable terms with his mother , whom he supported and lodged . His lordship reiterated the doubts which surrounded the case . The jury , without much hesitation , acquitted the prisoner .
Cutting asd Wodkbihg . —Sarah Fowling , a very decent-locking woman , aged 35 , was indicted , for that she on the 2 Gtli ult . did assault , stab , cut , and wound , Hannah Connor , on her forehead , with intent to do het grievous bodily harm . —Mrs . Connor ( the prosecutrix ) is the wife of a shoemaker , residing _atUo . _lSJ , Moor-Street , Bishopsgate . Her father , mother and sister , live and lie in the same room as witness and her husband . She went down stairs for some water on the night in question ] and ran up-stairs again without shutting the front door , but , at her request her father went down to shut it . The prisoner met him in the passage and abused him . Her mother then went down , and some words took place between them . Witness was standing near tbe door , and the prisoner challenged her by calling out— "Come here . " Witness approached , and the prisoner then took from
behind her a small chopper , and struck her on the forehead , and she fell down on the floor . The wound inflicted bled profusely . She had not spoken an annoying word to her that night . —Timothy Ryan , the landlord of the room , although suffering under a severe complaint of the lungs , gave his evidence with fine Hibernian emphasis . He said on the night in question the Goodchilds and Connors were very _niisy aud quarrelsome . He was witness to the beating of the prisoner , before she in her defence struck the blow . "Witness exclaimed , " By . _, they ' ve her down ; they're murthering her , surely ! " He called in the policeman . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of a common assault . The prosecutrix recommended her to mercy . The learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to be confined in the _Giltspur Compter for three calendar months .

The deceased had-left a young and helpless family of nine children , of whom he had been the only support . The Messrs . Wilson , theprisoncr ' s employers , had given £ 10 to the widow , and a subscription had been set on foot for their relief . The Rev . Mr . Hall attended , and expressed a hope that the public press would aid him in his endeavours to raise some money for this poor family , who , if benevolent persons that God had blessed with means , did not aid , might be reduced to tbe most appalling distress .
Charge Of Murdering An Aged Female. On W...
CHARGE OF MURDERING AN AGED FEMALE . On Wednesday , Martha Browning , a young woman apparently about twenty-five years of age , was brought before Mr . Bond , at _Queen-square police-court , charged with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Mundell , an elderly woman with whom she resided . The case is one of a most extraordinary and mysterious character . The supposed victim of the prisoner's violence was found dead by her daughter on Monday morning , and on the evening of that day a coroner's jury sat upon the body , and returned a verdict "that the deceased had committed suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity . " Since that period some circumstances ofa suspicious nature have transpired , tending to criminate tbe accused as the murderer of the deceased female , and on her being found
on "Wednesday afternoon in possession of a sham banknote , whichitwas obvious she had considered genuine , as she had attempted to get change for it , she was closely interrogated by the husband ol * deceased ' s daughter , who at once recognised it as corresponding with one or two which the ill-fated woman had been seen to have in her possession the day before her death , and a desire on the part of the prisoner to possess which , supposing them to be genuine banknotes , it was inferred might have induced her to put a period to the existence of their possessor . The accused's replies were anything but satisfactory , and she endeavoured to effect her escape from the house , but was detained . The husband of the deceased ' s
daughter insisted upon her accompanying him to the station , and before tlieir arrival there she became much agitated , and said , "I did it ; I did it ; Lord , have mercy upon me " The prisoner , who hadthe appearance of a hearty young woman , was lifted into the doekin an apparently senseless state , immediately after which she fell into a succession of strong fits , between wliich she gave way to a _paroxyam of despair , and tore her hair . She afterwards fell into a state of apparent insensibility , sal volatile and other restoratives were administered without effect , seeing which the magistrate stopped the inquiry , and ordered the prisoner to be remanded until Monday next . She was removed to Tothill-fields , Bridewell , in a cab , still in an insensible state .

LATE OUTRAGE NEAR OSWESTRY . Oswkstbt , Wkdnesdat , _DKCEMnKit 3 . —It will be recollected that an old woman , named Susannah Rider ( supposed to be a maniac ) , was taken into custody upon a charge of attempting to murder her own daughter , a delicate young woman , who was found in the cottage apparently dead , and mangled in a peculiar manuer , which admitted of no a- , scription . The poor sufferer , who was placed under medical treatment , had so far recovered as to enable her to give evidence against her wretched mother . The prisoner having been placed at the bar , the daughter was led into the room , and accommodated with a chair near the magistrates' table . Her deposition was to the following effect : —
iMy name is Elizabeth Rider ; I live at Dyffryd , in the parish of Hcnnerly , and am a single woman . I was at home on Friday morning , the 14 th of November . I locked the door , as my mother was for going out , and I could not manage her . My mother's name is Susannah Rider . She is a widow . There was no one else in the house . My brother was at his work , a short distance off . When 1 took the key out of the lock my mother began at me . She pulled off my cap , tore off my hair , and put her hand on my throat and tried to choke me . She did not then get me dowih She then picked up the broom hook and struck at me . I laid hold of it , and she pushed me across the room against ; i " steam" ( tub ) of water , into which I fell . Before I could get up she got the treacle bottle and " pun'd " ( punched ) nic about the head . It was an earthen

bottle , and broke . I then became very faint . She pushed me towards the grate , aud taking the kettle off the fire , poured the scalding water down my back . The pain gave me strength , arid I managed to turn away the spout of the tea-kettle , or else she would have poured all the water _^ over me . She next got the maneker ( a wooden instrument for crushing potatoes ) , and began to " pun" ( punch ) me on the head . She slinked that away , and took up the rolling-pin , with which she began to beat me about the head and face till she thought I was almost gone . I became almost insensible , but I recollect my mother kept working at me , though I was nearly choked with the blood which returned into my mouth from the wounds on my head and face .
Mr . Aubrey ashed If she had any recollection of being struck with a bill-hook ? The witness replied—I suppose that after having heated me with the rolling-pin , she took up the billhook : but by that time 1 was quite insensible . When I came to a little 1 found my mother was lugging me along the floor towards the pantry She had hold of my arms , my head resting _against her stomach . When she got me into the pantry I was sensible . Seeing that I was not dead , she took up an old shoe , which had nails in it , and began heating me about the head . I remember her saying , "Oh , but you are a tough one ; I'll finish you yet . " I had no power ; but I had my senses , so as to know every thing that happened . I saw that she wentinto the outer room , and having fetched the broom , she turned up my clothes , ami began to " pun" me with the " stail " ( handle ) about my legs and thighs , & c .
The prisoner , who seemed perfectly composed , had nothing to say . She was eoinmitted for trial at the next assizes .
Curious Robbery By One Op The Crew Of Th...
Curious Robbery by one op the Crew of the Toby . —On Wednesday evening , during the inquiry into the case of Captain Johnstone , late master jof the Tory , a curious robbery was committed under somewhat singular circumstances . Amongst the witnesses examined on Wednesday , was a woman named Blewitt . It seems that Blewitt , though a married woman , with a husband still living , had contracted an intimacy with Dunn during the voyage , and determined to make him her " second" in despite of the laws against bigamy . Having to appear with her as a witness on Wednesday ' s inquiry , she resolved that her intended should show to the greatest advantage , and to that end she rigged him out in " spick and span new" toggery , and . they went arm-and-arm to tho court . On the way she handed him the key of her apartment , ofthe
contents of which he was , no doubt , well aware , for better security , fearing she should be flurried whilst giving her evidence . With the natural curiosity ol her sex , Mrs . Blewitt , conceiving that she was the heroine ofthe piece , stood out the whole performance , but Dunn , as soon as he quitted the witness-box , hastened to Mrs . Blewitt _' s apartment , and abstracted so much from her desk as will , when apprehended , qualify him for a prominent appearance in the dock . Mrs . Blewitt , on missing her gallant escort , whom she expected to find in the opposite public-house , had sundry misgivings , and hastening to her lodgings , discovered that her faithless swain had anticipated her visit , forced her desk , abstracted £ 20 , and bolted . She gave instant information at the Denmark-street station-house , when it was ascertained Dunn had set sail for Liverpool .
The late Murder in _Eskiskillen . —Enniskiixen , Dec . 2 , 18 i 5 . —The coroner ' s inquest held on the body of Miss Irvine lias brought in a unanimous verdict of Wilful Murder against Anna _Coer , or Keown , the servant maid , who has been accordingly committed to prison to abide her trial at the ensuing assizes .

SATURDAY'S NEWS , POLICE , LEGAL AND GENERAL . THE ANTICIPATED REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS . _thb _"xiMsa" versus the ministewai , jounms . The Standard of yesterday ( Friday ) evening con tained the following : — ATROCIOUS FABRICATION BY TUB " TIUKS . " "Standard Office , Friday Evening , " Three o'Clock .
We are now , we rejoice to say , in a condition to give the most positive and direct contradiction tothe statement of a proposed repeal of the Corn Laws , which appeared in yesterday ' s Times . The statement , it may bo remembered , embraced three pro positions—1 st , That Parliament is to meet in the first week in January ; 2 nd , that Ministers have resolved upon a repeal of tlie Corn Laws ; 3 rd , that the projected repeal is to be _announced in the opening speech . " Every one of these three propositions is false . " Parliament will not meet in the first week of January , or much , if at all , before the usual time oi meeting .
' The Cabinet has come to no decision whatever upon the subject of the _Com-laws . "It must be necessary to add , in the third place , that a resolution not formed can hardly have a place provided in the Queen ' s Speech , Upon What we have written above we stake the character of this journal . " Reply or the " Times . "—The Times of this morning ( Saturday ) , in reply to the positive contradiction given to its announcement , by its evening contemporary , " Mrs . Harris , " says , — "Wehave a very few
words to say in reply to the contradiction that has been given to our statement , and these words are simply a reiteration of those that were used in our paper of Thursday . We adhere to our original announcement , that Parliament will meet early in January , and that a repeal of the Corn Laws will be proposed in one house by Sir R . Peel , in the other by the Duke of Wellington . The result , of course , can only si ow who is right and who is wrong on the present _oceajion . "

Tower Hamlets . —At a meeting" of the General
Council of the Tower Hamlets , at Mr , Bartram ' _a , Brassfounders' Arms , Whitechapel-road , arrangements were made , and the Hall of Science , Highstreet , Whitechapel , engaged , for a _publicmceting , on Monday , December 22 nd , to petition Parliament , and memorialise her Majesty for the restoration of Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis .

STOCKPORT . The "New Dodge . "—Gbakd _Pj-bfobmance at Stock _, port . —On Wednesday evening last , the League exhibited here to a numerous and highly amused auditory . The piece was one of Cobden _' s latest productions , a farce In three acts , entitled , " Open Ports , " The mayor was stage manager on the occasion . The performance was wretched , the whole of tbe company , with one exception , ( the town clerk ) being mere amateurs . The principal character was taken by a junior smoke noble , named Fernlcy . He appeared as " professor of political economy ;" Had bee :- * studying tbe science for twenty years , and had discerned that our institutions were the beau ideal oi _perfection , and only wanted "free trade" to purify them _. Had found from his deep researches , that English land
could not produce enough of food for the sustentation of its inhabitants ; we inust therefore get it from America . Was confident that the mere mention of " Open Ports " would have a " magic effect" in causing "the people" to buckle on the armour of agitation in the "righteous cause . " Dr . Rayner bore testimony to the awful ravages caused in tbe physical system by want of food . Knew it from his extensive practice _f « ot from having felt the want of food himself . ) Ihe people believed him , though he is a Whig , which will appear paradoxical—it will be recollected , however , that wc live in strange times . Over _, looker Allinson appeared in bis old character , as " the Renegade ' . " Spoke in a tremulous voice , was ghastly pale , lips-quivered , seemed to be troubled with the "pleasures of memory . " Said little , but would have sung , had not public opinion rendered the viper harmless . It is said that he is studying ; for "Iago , " and certainly Dame Nature has been profuse in her gifts , to fit him for such a
character , and he has lost no chance of improvement . The first act was about to close when , to . the dismay of the comedians , Messrs . T . Clnrk and Williams appeared on the stage , and succeeded in winning a large party to the notion that nothing but "the land at home" could render us independent of partial failures of the crops . And no little surprise was manifested when tbe announcement was made that the Chartists had several thousands of pounds collected for the purpose of purchasing land , on which to try the practicability of that theory , which taught the people to look to English land as the only means of securing happiness to _tlio English labourer . Messrs . Coppock ( town clerk ) , John Hainan ( who played the clown ) , and Escregg , and ex-cotton lord , severally performed their parts ; and the performance closed shortly after eleven o ' clock , the " company" having been able to get through only one of three acts , much to the discomfiture of the " respectable" part of the audience .
CARLISLE . Meeting of the Members or the Ciiartist Cooperative _Lasb Societv—On Sunday last the above body held their meeting , at No . G , John-street , Caldewgate , when , after tbe usual business was dispensed with , Mr . James Graham was called to the chair , and the following resolution was unanimously agreed to , and ordered to be sent to the Star for publication : — " That our secretary write to the editor of the Northern Star , re questing him to return , if not destroyed , the letter conveying a report of a meeting of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , on which the editor , in the Star of Saturday last , commented so severely , the members being confident that thereport sent by the person whom they employed did not warrant such ceusure . "
[ Our answer to the above is , 1 st , That we have not the letter referred to , as we invariably destroy all rejected communications , unless we arc previous '} ' requested not to do so . 2 nd , That the members of the Carlisle council have very unnecessarily expressed themselves in very offensive terms , in stating that they are " confident that the report sent by the person whom they employed did not warrant , " & _c . We know nothing of the person they " employed , " nor what sort of a report he may have sent ; wc only know that tbe report we received , no matter by whom written , did call for our censure ; and , moreover , we would have been justified in rejecting it
entirely , without any notice whatever . If that report had been only written as plainly as is the above report , it would have been inserted without alteration or objection . We do not expect working men to write as cleverly as professional reporters ; but we havo a right to expect that they will write so , at least , as we can make out what they mean . We have a ri ght to demand this , not only for our own sake , but also for the sake of the compositors , who are working men as well as the Carlisle council , and who very naturally complain , and complain bitterly , too , of the unnecessary labour imposed upon them , through the thoughtlessness of some of our correspondents . ]

Great Meeting Or The Ibahes At Mancheste...
Great Meeting or the _Ibahes at Manchester , — A public meeting of the trades of this town was held In the Mall of Science , Campficld , on the evening of Monday last , December 1 st , for the purpose of hearing a lecture upon the necessity of the trades joining tlie " United Trades' Association for the Protection of Industry , and for the Employment of Labour in Agriculture and Manufactures . " The meeting was very numerously attended . At eight o ' clock Air . Lloyd was called to the chair , and after a briefaddress , introduced the lecturer , Mr . David Ross , who was received with loud cheers . The lecturer said-Mr . Chairman and Gentlemen , I appear before you as the representative of the United Trades' Association of Great Britain , which association has been
called into existence for a two-fold purpose—firstly _^ to protect labour against the innovations of capital ; and , secondly , to do away with the evils which have hitherto manifested themselves in connection with partial strikes . As a people , we are lauded above every other for the skill which our operatives display , and the _enterprise wliich our capitalists evince in industrial pursuits . In scientific acquirements we have distanced every competitor , In Industry we are unequalled , and our perseverance will not admit of a rival . The question which must first engage our attention , is , who have most contributed to the elevation of the country , and who have reaped the greatest advantages irom every improvement in trade ? To answer this , we have only to contrast the
wealth ofthe manufacturer on the one hand , and the poverty of the operative on the other . Whilst the rich are making dall y additions to their wealth and greatness , the poor are becoming more than ever dependent , and are daily retrograding in the scale of society . To account for this , we have only to take a summary of that vast , web of combination which the capitalists are weaving around the country . Our railways are a proof of this . The earth will shortly _fcs belted with an iron zone , embankments made , _vallies fiiled up , and mountains overthrown . Our ships traverse every sea , and our merchants congregate at every market . Against tin ' s dominion of wealth what have the trades of England to exhibit ? Capital is advancing ; but the
value of labour is receding . The united trades' owes its origin to the exertions of a few noble-minded awl intelligent sons of labour , who , with Mr . _Duncoillte at their head , have laid the foundations of an edifice , which , if approved of , and supported by you , will become a blessing to mankind . Before 1 proceed to read the address , and the rules of the association , I would ask—are you prepared to co-operate with ami unite for the good of each other . ( Cries of yes ! yes !! yes !!!) I am pleased to find that 1 am answered in the affirmative . I will however place tlie question in a stranger light before you . First , Him . is the machanic prepared to unite with the weaver ? ( Loud cheers . ) Are the wealthier trades disposed to co-operate with their poorer brethren ? If thev be
not , then labour ' s struggle is at an end . Fartiai strikes onl y inflame but do not remove the distemper . ( Cheers . ) Cessation from labour is an irreparable injiny , since it brings with it no _advantage as an equivalent for the money expended , Let _ua lcam io be wise and profit by the experience of the past ; _M us show to the world that the toil-worn operative « not only the possessor of a strong arm but also of » i | active mind . Bankrup tcies on the one hanu , » want of employment on the other , are the precursors of the coming storm , to avert which should be tn _» study of every member of this vast community . _« you are insensible to the aufterings of others , how <»" you justly complain when the bolt that levelled theni shall have prostrated vou . Speaking , as I now do , ' »
men who have no capital save tholr labour . would ask if you are not anxious to avers this evil 1 Even now your labour will _scared provide you with the means of living . " _» your duty , therefore , to create for yourselves _tns means of erecting manufactories , and stocking tlijan with machinery of your own . As a means of tcsti » a the experiment , it is proposed to raise a capit * » one hundred thousand nounds , bv twenty u sand shares of five pounds each . And as » means of relieving the labour market of a portion « l its redundancy , it is intended to locate a give" " | _" ber oi the operatives upon the soil ot their l ' at lierlan » _- ( Cheers . ) We shall thus createa hannv peasantry «»
the one hand , and an independent class of opera _tive on the other . Although the association hvs ow been in existence some three months , it can , nevertheless , boast of twelve thousand subscribers , all » them men of weight , for they are five pounder * Only think of 12 , 000 five pounders , and _e'g l > t ll f ' sand more are daily expected to give in their _ajij _^ _sion . Mr . Ross then read over the address an " " rules of the association , commenting on each w ' graph , and explaining each proposition . H ? . J ?" eluded by inviting _discussion in the hope of el | cl , ;« information , and resumed his seat amid theplau _" ' Of the assembly . Mr . Roberts moved the thanks » j the meeting to the worthy lecturer , which _w seconded by Mr . Pear , the secretary to the ilyci a union , and carried by acclamation .
