( Cmiinued Jrom our lath page . ) . that libel yon Trill find the importance of knowing whether or no the book first alluded to is ^ acknowledged as * manual of thai cTrarcE . I tbink It Trot iair to tie defendant in showing that he was writing not against individuals , but a system , to know whether or Hot the authorities on which he founded his observations were recognized by the church j and I irish you not to forget , that although there is no obligation on the part of the Roman Catholic clergy to use Ibis book , yet that it may be -used , and I will leave you to judge -whether it is so or not . I have inggested to you that those libels form part of a strong and zealous attack upon the confesaonal system of thr Roman Catholic church—that , they consider the system as incompatible with the
weakness of numan nature—that they consider tnere is laid down in the book just alluded to a system so dangerous that it ought to be uprooted , which allows any thing of the line of conduct they describe . He has taken up the weakness of human nature against ihe course of examination of the priest ; and you will say whether he is to be held justified as a man « i that consideration , . He has thought that a series of question * which are put to the fairer portion of creation—of whatever age—the virgin , the wife , the vridow—that that system ought to be put an end to . He has thought that virginity ought not to he exposed to the suggestion of ideas which a virgin ought never to conceive —he has thought the maiden deserves protection . Do you
believe it was his intention " to stamp disgraca and infamy" on those individuals whose names I regret to see placed on t > " « record ? You will not read a line of the libels in question withont finding a subject which more deeply than any other in the world has moved die -sympathy of * hi * Reverend champion . Those are the views he has taken—you will say whether they ought to be protected . He has * thought { hst the angelic purity of the young female mind ought not to be the subject of contamination Although , perhaps , I may say the immense majority —nay with few exceptions—the Roman Catholic clergv do not deviate from that which every honourable " man wiD consider Mb duty ; still there mi ^ ht be some—among £ be young , sweffing -widi yontli—tlie elder -satiated with filthy imag nations and foul pasnons —( human nature is found perfect in none } there might be some who would use this manual to
debauch the youthful mind ; and instead of being accessory to acquitting a pious , religious , and virtuous feeling , by desrees undermine all those natural andinstinctive feelings of the heart , and turn that heart at last , io the condition ol yielding to what such persons might require . It is not for me to say . ( God only knows ) whether true or not , but this is tlie defendant ' s Idea , and . it pervades every p-rtion of the libels . He has thought , that at another period of fife such a system ought not to be adopted , —that the wife ought to be protected , and the secrets of the marriage bed be held sacred ; that no manual shali allow a friar to ask respecting the most sacred condition of connubial . life ; and he has launched the thunders of his eloquence against such a system . Is he wrong ? He may be ioistaken . Is me champion who exposes those indecencies sincere ?^ Will you ¦ believe thai he intended to narrow up tae feelings , or throw discredit on the rwo Roman Catholic Priests
¦ who attend the Sconon and Darlington Nunneries ? Can any man doubt that he was engaged in a higher and nobler cause ? But gentlemen , sire him credit for believing that be was not mistaken in seeking to rid this country of what was a deplorable and discreditable Lability on the part o : a portion of its inhabitants . Consider me as offering no op nion of my own—1 am speaking for the delendant . He has thought it right that the state of married life shonld be protected ; and that no one , armed with the thunders of heaven , should have tbepower of wielding them to pry into every minute , strange , secret feeling , thought and acnon of the wife who was under his care . Under this influence , he brought the subject before the public , and called Jorih the
energies of the people of England to put an end to the system . There is no occasion , or circumstance , or perioa of life , to which the same feeling might not direct itself ; and when you consider thft time at woich this was done , and the proceedings from first to last , yon will probably be of the same opinion . In point ol law , the first publication is unquestionably alibel ; bntit might proceed from two distinct motives —the cool malignity of a man , either intent on the abasement or destruction of some particular personjjr sect , or as a learned enthusiast , well conversant with the fathers of the Church , who has clothed himself in his armour for protecting the weakness of human nature ; and in that view , and not as a private libeller . I snbmit that the defendant published the
aracies in question . Far be It from me to offer any observations" either on their style or matter . Hut Teniember the state of excitement in which the pnblic mind has been on these particular subjects during a number of years past ; recollect t .: e tendency of those particular parties with which the defendant thought right to grapple . I appeal to your judgment as to vrhst the -sreakn&ES and iniirnaty of human nature is ; and although 1 may be compelled io aerfare that the first publication " is . » Sbe :. yet I think yen will treat it as one occasioned by the existence of certain rules , i ' orming part of a gystesn . rather tia »*«»« ttack on those persons-who h « w * wine forward to vindicate their character . On the parr of the defendant it gives me pleasure to feel myself justified in saying that in bis mind ne \ er entered in the remotest degree the least intention oi questioning the virtue either of the reverend gentleman wiio has stood here before yon , or the other chaplain whose name has been " mentioned , or of
those -siiom he considers the helpless victims of a wrong , stem , and unbending discipline ; but 1 have also to state that for no purpose would be deviate from those strong convictions , so powerful in bis own mind , as to the fatal tendency of that system of which he has chiefly complained . 1 am happy to ttmik , in reposing in your hands tke fate of " the defendant , I repose it in the hands of men , who have sra&dent knowledge , experience , find judgment , to investigate the case , and sufficient timmess to decide it . If yon think the libels in question form part of a polemical discussion , ( for observe , It appears a paper war was carried on . ) and was a portion of a general attack on a system of which the defendant disapproved—if you " are of that opinion , his Lordship will probably tell jon that however libellous the papers are , they are not within the scope of this criminal information—either libels on the individuals whose names are given in the first counts , or the particular nunnery alluded to in the fourth
count . Baron Alderso >\—If it were an attack on any otter religion , it might not be a libel—Mahomedanism , for instance , not being a religion of the country ; but the Catholic ChuTch is different , and therefore part of the constitution of the country . ilr- Alellx&er continued by reiterating the bit ter sentence , observing that his Lordship must have fflisunaerstood him . fie then concluded by saying , an advocate has no right to state his own opinion , 01 tven Ms nope . Important as this question is to the defendant , I am satisfied its importance will not be forgotten , and his interests weighed less because he is appealing to a Special Jury . In your hands the case is safe ; and with your decision , I cannot for a moment donbt that the world will be sat isfied .
The Learned Babox then summed up the case . After reading over the record , and drawing the attention of the jury to the various counts , he . stated , that if they were of opinion that the articles in TOestion were merely intended to have reference to the Catholic church generally ( however he might be convinced as an individual that they were scandalous and improper ) , still he was bound to tell them , sitting there as judge , that they were not libels , and still less tke libels they had " to consider on that occasion . He apprehended that in this country a man had a perfect right to express his opinions on any subject , and disenss it in any way he pleased , consistent with law and even if the articles were libels on the whole church , still the defendant was
not guilty of the offence imputed to him in that indictment . But no man had a right to say the Seorton Nunnery was a brothel ; he might question their conduct in a lawful way and on proper occasions , but he had no right to inflict a particular injury on individuals , by attacking their characters . He apprehended that the form of interrogatory , in "vlneh the first libel was put , made no difference ; if a man asked a question with a view to insinuate a fact it was precisely the same as if he asserted It . If it-were the intention of the party that the world should believe that improper conduct was carried on ** Scortoii Xunnery ( and the necessary consequence tf man ' s act displayed his intention ) , then so doxjbt existed that the publication was a " £ « L "With resnect to the article , "The Romish
* ° x unkennelled , " nine-tenths of that strange paper -was an attack ( perhaps an injndicions . one ) S ™ f Cath olic religion , containing things , whidu inT ^ nmnies or truths we hare no means of jMsiBg . ana -which have been long since repented-of efopfl Vfti * 5 of ¦ wbom they are asserted . They uieay j ^ j . g ^ jg ^ ^ mes . ^^ the Church and uk ' people ofthewodd were in a far less state of ^ Pj ovement than at present—an external j ^ pearaiice of decency , at least , has increased *?? . tae civflrzation of the world . Bnt flsng ^ a maligning individual character was «* toe means to attack tie Catholic church ; if M « ^ m error and he > M a Protestant ^* ed u ) they should be corrected by fair . Teason-* £ proper , and cogmt argument . He ' thought ct ^ f ™ * " * * J et * m , but he did not ground his tQecnon on cases-of individual immorahtv . but on "f fenPTal question , what such a srstem would ^ sanly lead to in the hands of ill-disDo ^ n X ^ Z on

His Lordship W ^ v ? F . *** passages in the Kbel which we » -marked in italics ; and left these questions for jury , - whether ths publications meant to impute

to the priest an-i nuns of Seorton Convent that they had conducted themselves in an improper and discreditable lrfry . ; If they thought the assertions , in the Kbel admitted and were in tented to have such a construction , then they wonld find a verdict of guilty . If on tKe other band they considered the publication merely an attack on the whole body of the Roman Catholic church , and in no part an attack on the individuals in Seorton Kunnery , they would return a vrrdict of Not Guilty . If they thought it both an attack upon the whole church , and also on this particular Nunnery , or the persons
set forth in the three first counts of the indictment , they would find the defendant Guilty . The Jury then retired , taking the articles in qnestion with them ; and after an iibsence of about half an hour returned into Court . On their names being called over , the Clerk enquired tbeir verdict * when the Foreman repliedj " Guilty . " His Lordship applied on what counts , and the Foreman answered on _ the first . TLis amounts to finding the defendant guilty of publishing a fal » e and scandalous libel on the Lady Abbess and nuns whose names are stated in the record .
The defendant , -we understand , is not in York . Some surprise was excited on no sentence being given ; this is not the practice in criminal informations . He will be called tip for judgment at the Court of Queen's Bench ( ont of which the record proceeded ^ next term , which commences about a fortnight after the Northern Circuit conclndps . After the verdict had been recorded , the Clerk of Arraigns called over the names of the gentlemen who had been summoned as a special jnry in the case of Darlington Xunnery v . Uathercule , which , however , was a mere fora , as the prosecution was withdrawn ; and those jurors that did answf r were informed that this proceeding would entitle them to their fees .

^ Mr . Alexander stated tLe case . The action was brought by the three plaintiffs . Mi > s * rs . WrigLt and Otliefs , executors o !

Ross be-uu business in 1831 , and was in the habit ol purchasing wool oi various persons , onions : st others of the aefeudant . In ApriL 1837 , his credit having been doubted , and something nniortnnate expected , he announced bi » inability to meet his demand , and i : i the middle ol that month a mretme of creditors was called ; it was then explained that bis affairs were in irremediable disorder , a fiat was issued asain .-t him , and he was
declared a bankrupt . His " act of l . aukrnptcy was committed tn tLe 20 t \\ March , and the fi ; it i ? . < ned on the 25 th April . When the assignees examined the accounts , they found that during the short time . \ lr . Ross had been iu L > n > iui-ss , be nnd managed to incur liabilities to the went o ) £ 11 . 000 ; and t :. e whole of vrhat he possessed at the time of the stoppage amounted to £ 1400 value in sto t-iu-tmue , nousenold furniture , Arc . A strict scrutiny was made , and it was t ' -ien f . > ac 0 tk * ihi .-brother-in-law had been the peculiar object of his care , and that Le had extended security to him which he had denied to other creditors . This was the geirernl character < f the transaction . ] u December . 183 ( 5 , tnere were two bills running for £ 1371 . on which the defendant
was liable . In ca . * e . the bankrupt did not honor them with Ms acceptance . One was due on the 30 th ot March , and the other on the " th of April . Wh > -n the time drew near for the rim bill boant ; provided for , on the 29 th March , be gave bis shopman dirertions to collect as nruch wool as " they had on the premises , and take it ; o bis brother ' s . The shopman said they had very little , on which be directed him to purchase some of Mr . Roberts , nnd wool w » s obtained to the amount of £ 41 ) 1 . This wool was converted into bills , aul sened to meet the first demand . To meet tbe second bill , which b-came due on the 6 th of April , the bankrupt collected wool , roils , and tops , to i ; ie value of £ 3 ^ 2 , were taken to "the defendants , and on the 16 th April , additional goods , which amounted in the total to £ 501 and a
iracuon . "" Mary Ann Glynn , servant to the bankrupt , proved two denials to _ Mr . Speight , ol Bradford , on the 20 th of March , while be was then in the house . Cross-examined . —The warehouse is near the house . JMr . Ross did not go out thut afternoon until five o ' clock , bnt she could not say a * to whether he went © ut in the evening . He might go to the warehouse and transact busings . Next day he went out as usnal , for anything witness knew . James HeywooJ , was . groom and warehouseman to Mr . Rossin 1 S 35 . He knew Mr . Speight , who was a grocer and ironmonger ; he came once to the warehouse in the . early . part of Apnl ; but witness . did not tell Ross that be bad been thi-re . Cross - examined . —Mr . Ross is now dead , I am crediblyinformed . . Mr . Joseph Addison , was shopman to the bankrupt in 1837 ; Mr . Speight iuld oil and other good = s to Mr . Ross , on credit .
Cross-examined . —Mr . Speight remains a creditor for £ 27 15 s . 6 d . ; it was due at the time of the bankruptcy . £ 130 of his account was paid by a cheque on the bank . Mr . Speight got a bill for the whole in the latter pan of March . Will swear to the- delivery of goods to that amount . Mr . Cbesswell . —What have yon got in the hat ? [ Witness was observed looking in it . ] Witness . —I have got a note—it is not possible for me to recollect . —( Laughter . ) Mr . Cressvtell . —Why did you not take it out like a man ? As the book from which it . was extracted was not in his own hand-writing , Mt-Cressweli , said he had no right to look at it , and tben asked the witness to reiterate the ram and the dates of delivery , which he failed in doing .
Mr . William Roberts , wool-sorter , Bradford , was in" the service of Ross at the time of his bankruptcy . In March , 183 " , he remembered buying some goods of Mr . Robert *; he saw them first at his warehouse , on the 23 d March . On tLe Wednesday following , the bankrupt ' s bookkeeper d . rected him to go ana purchase the goods , which consisted of thirteen sheets of Hereford super machius . They were delivered to the warehouse ; > ix sheets were sent that day , with some other goods , to the defendants . The value of the whole would be £ 700 or £ 800 .
Cross-examined . —Mr . Ross consigned much wool to Messrs . Hustler and Blackburn , woolstaplers and commission agents ; between December 183 ( 3 , and March , 1837 . goods to the value of £ 10 , 000 was consigned to them . The 23 d or 24 th of M arch was the last delivery . The usual advance is 70 to Io per cent , on the invoice price . From February to the end of March , wool bad fallen from 30 to 40 per cent . In consequence of the panic , and there , was great difficulty in discounting bills . Mr . Knight "was a considerable purchaser on the 20 th Marchthere "Was ten or twelve sheets of vrool -went to him , which was packed up that day . Witness did not remember-whether Mr . Ross was at his warehouse on that day .
Mr . S . Laycock , of the Bradford Bank , produced a draft for £ 871 , which was in the bank at the close ofT 836 ; it was drawn by Fearnley on Ros > and accepted by Feamley . It was dated January 4 , 183-7 , at three months . They had another drawn and accepted in the same names . The first bill came back dishonoured on the 3 rd April ; Cross-examined—It was ait « -rwards taken up by Mr . Ross' clerk , and the second carried to Fearnley * s debit , for which he signed a cheque . Speight ' s bill was sent to London for acceptance on the-16 th March , and answer returned "No advice , " on the 24 th . After the 31 st March , he learned from Mr . Speight that the Mil had been paid . Mr . H . W . Blackburn , book-keeper to Messrs Hustler and Blackburn , remembered Mr . Ross sending two bills in March to be exchanged , which his fatter agreed to do . Other witnesses were called to prove the

TUESDAY , July 17 . SJAYOR AND CORPOHATIOX OF BEVERLEY V . CIUVEX . ( Spechl Jury . ) Mr . Alexander , Mr . Hii . dvard , and Mr . Duxhas were for the plaintiff ; Mr . Cresswkll and Mr . Henry for the defendant . The action was brought , to try the right of the Corporation to receive toils ^ on goo is lflden from the river Hu ] , on the eastern side of the bridge , in the township of Tick ton . The power of levying tolls on goods and tn >> rchanviise was grunted b y the 13 th George I ., an Act passed in 1727 . and confirmed by a similar one in the reign oi lieorge 11 .. nnd designed to keep the navi atiou .
rnnds , and landing-places in proper repair . The tolls le . vi «? d on c . ials were 6 J . per chaldron ; and altogether they were let for between £ 300 and £ 400 per year . The real defendants were Messrs . S epheuson , coal and bor . e-merchan s , atllnllJirii ^ v . ( Mr . Craven being the captain . of their vessel , ) a nd they resisted the payment of tolls , alleging that although the Ads of Parlinment tritve tli- Corporation a right io levy tolls in a certain district , yet ibat their language limited that right to the wt- > tern s : de of the river , the freemen in that part not b <« iu ! . ' allowed to vote , or turn on the Beverley strays . Two witnesses having proved the refusal to-pav toll , r J
J . Wilhv , Esq ., the Town Clerk , was called , xvho proved that during 28 years , tlie magistrates am ] ofiicers of the Corporation bad exercisid exclusive jurisdiction over the township of Tickton , as part of the ancient borough of Beverley . The overseers paid for militia summonses , their proportion of rates towards the buildiujj of Ousft Bridge , costs of prosecuri . ms nnder various Acts of Parliament , borough rate , d'C . d'c . The Parliamentary Boundary Act included so much of tin * parish of St . John u ^ was within the liberty and precincts of Beverlev , and under this Act the inhabitants of Tickton " voted . Hull Bridge was included in the limits of the ancient borough , but not the land on each side of it . The inhabitants were exempted from East Riding Juries , byservine nt Beverley Sessions : the Mayor sat as coroner at inquisitions at Tickton , and " until the pas-ing o / the 6 lh and 7 th William IV ., it was inrlnded in a ward , and the rate-pavers voted fur municipal officers .
Cross-examined . —He knew from one of the charters that Landholme Bridge , on the west side of tinriver , wasiii-ancien : times called Hull Bridge . T ,, n had never before been demanded in Tickton . The Corporation did not repair ihe roads on the east side . Two aldermen , who are merchants , trade in coais . < fec . and use the river Hull . # Two or three aged witnesses were called to prove similar facts ; but it appeared that although the masters of vessels on the west side had been ' asked , those on the east side had not . Mr . Stephenson ' s carts used the road several timeH in a dav , but they paid toll at . . the turnpike toll-bar . Mr . Cressweli , then delivered aneloqueut address for the defence . The jury were called upon to say whether they would censtroe the Act of 1727 in a stricter sense than it had been for 111 years . He then
argned that the township of Tickton was not included in the liberty and precincts of Beverley , mentioned in ancient acts of parliament . He coni ended that the facts of the sons of freemen in Tickton not being allowed the right of voting , or pasruraee on the strays , and no tills having been demanded on the east side , when more trade was carried on than at present , wax conclusive argument that the claim of the defendant to exemption 1 ' rom toll , was indefeasible . In cenclusion , he appealed to the jury whether they wonld now , for the first time , impose thosp tolls on the people of Holderness —not for the public benefit , hot to satisfy the ambitious designs of selfish considerations of " new lights' ^ which the Municipal Reform Act had introduced into the Beverley Corporation . The Learned Baron briefly summed up , when the jury retired . On their return , they gave a verdict for the defendants .
INGRA 3 I AND OTHERS V , GIBSON AND ANOTHER . Mr . Alexander , Mr . Wiohtmau , and Mr , Hild-YARDwere for the plaintiffs : Mr . Cresswell , and Mr . roMLissojJ forthe defendants . The action was far an alleged trespass in the close of the plaintiffs , called Spring Wood , between t . e 1 st of April to the 11 th of September , 1837 . There were four counts in the declaration ; the defendants pleading that there wa 3 a right of road , and had been so for forty Years , for _ horses and carts over the - wood in question Before the case was gone into , the Learned Judge suggested a reference to some gentleman , with power to mark out the line of road , and settle the question . A conversation arose between the counsel on each side , but an arrangement conld not be effected . After two or three witnesses were examined , an arbitrator ^ ras appointed . His LoKDSHipsaid heshonHtake no more causes and the Court adjourned . ( Continued in our 8 th page . )

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monday , July 16 . Up to Friday in the past week the weather was as linn and favourable as possible for the growing crops , but on Saturday and yesterday a great deal of-. rain fell , with , however , a favourable change this morning , although yet rather unsf ttle- in appearance . The quantity of Wheat on sale from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , w ;< s limited at to-day ' s markets , and there was a _ very short supply of Barley , Beans , and Peas , frpm these counties , but a good arrival of t ) a ; t 8 mostly from Irelandagain , having few from our own coast or Scotland . There was a good steady demand for Wheat from ' pur town millers , and all fine qualities brought fully the rates of this day se'iinight ; few sales having taken place to shi p coast ways enabled pur miller- " to make their purchases without giving any advance , excent
now and then for select white thrashed and heavy , but this w » a not sufficient to make any alteration in the general quotations . Hour brought last week ' s currency . Barley supported prices , with a faiT sale for grinding purposes . Mult was mum the same as last- week . Beans and Peas realised full as much money , botharticles being scarce ; although the demand was only for limited quantities , it was sufficient to take most on . sale . The Oat trade was rather dull , the sales b .-ihe mostly confined to the consumers who could not buy fine Corn cheaper , and the factors'held all sorts pretty firmly , expecting the Irish supplies to fall off somewhat now , until the shipping ol new £ orn commences . There was a good demand for bonded'Wheat ; at fully the rates of this day se ' nnight for all prime qualities , and many holders are withdrawing their samples from sale . Nothing passing worthy of notice in either Linseed or Rapeseed ; there is , ' however ; uo change in either

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET , Monda y , July 16 . The imports of free Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal , have this week been unusually small—very much below the quantities required to suppl v the actual wants of the trade . From foreign ports the arrivals of Wheat consist of 7 , 400 quarters . Since the early part of last week there has bet : n more activity in the demand for Wheat ; on Friday a good extent of business was done , and prices were noted Id to 2 d per . bushel higher than on the previous market day : 10 s 2 d to 10 s 4 d was paid for English red , and some choice Irish red brought 10 s per 701 b 8 < Flour has also met a pretty good demand , at prices varyinft from 50 s to 56 s per sack , according to qualit y . A few parcels of Oats have been taken for the country ; 3 s to 3 s 3 d per 451 bs . the currency for Irish . Oatmeal has sold at 26 s to to 26 s 6 d per 246 lbs . The market has continued nearl y void of Barley , for which last week's rates may be repeated . Beans and peas without change . Several cargoes of red Wheat in bond have been sold at 7 s 3 d to 7 b 6 d per 70 lbs . ; and some parcels of sweet Flour at 28 s to 30 s per brl .
Tuesaay , Two o'Clock . At this morning ' s market the millers were tolerably free buyers of Wheat , at an advance of Id to 2 d per bushel on the quotations of last Tncuday . There was a good dale for Flour , but no improvement in prices . Oats and Oatmeal were both better sold . Several parcels of bonded Wheat changedhanda , during market , at 78 6 d to 7 s 8 d per 701 bs .

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE , Saturday ; Jul y 14 . There was a stead y inquiry for Wheat at our market this morning ; the currency of this day-se ' iini ght was firmly supported , and m snme instances rather higher rates were demanded . Flour was likewise in better request , and choice parcels , suitable . fer bakers' use , found purchasers at full rates . I'he inquiry for Oats or Oatmeal was languid , without mate--ml alteration in value . Mi . lt Wi . s dull sale , and lower price 3 would have bei ^ n submitted to .
