g ~ -ggg . . _ ... . ( Oniinuedfivm our 6 th page . ) i £ at libel yoa'will find the importance of knowing irlieiier or no the bool first alluded- to a » acknowledged as a manual of that chunk .

Do-joij i ^ = l » it - « ra «> ris intention "to stamp disgrace and
infamy" on those mdrsiduala whose names I regret to see placed on this record ? You wffl notreada Hue of the libels in question without findingasmbject ¦ which more deeply than any other in the world has mored the sympathy of this Reverend champion . Those are the views he has taken—you will say whetb-erthey ought to be protected . Hehasthoagat that the anjrelic purity of the young female mind ought notto be the subject of contamination . Although , perhaps , I may say the immense niajonty —nay with few exceptions-the Roman Catholic clergy do not deviate from tbat which every honourable man will consider Ms duty ; still there might be some—among the young , swelling with yonth—the dder vitiated with filthy imag nations and foul pasis found
sions—{ k ^ 1111111 nature perfect m none ) there mleht be some who -would use this manual to debanch ~ the youthfal mind ; and instead of being accessory to acquittinga pious , religions , and virtuous feeling , by dearees undermine all those natural sndmsanctive " feelings of the heart , and turn that heart a : last , t © thecondition ot yielding to what « nch persMisTmight reqnire . It is not for me to say . ( God only knows ) whether true or not , but this is the defendant ' idea , and it pervades every pjrtion of the libels . He has thonglit , that at anotnerperiod of Eie snch a system onght not to be adopted , —that the wife onght to be protected , and the secrets ofthe marriage bed be haid sacred ; that no manual shall allow a Mar to ask respecting the most sacred
condition of connubial life ; and he has launched the thunders of Ms eloquence against such a system . Is he wrong ? He m 3 y be inisia'keu . Is the champion who exposes those indecencies sincere ? Will you be&eTft thai he intended to harrow up the f ^ eluigs , or throw discredit on the two Roman Catholic Priests who sneaa the Sconon . and Darlington gunneries ' : Can any man doubt that he was engaged in a higher and nobler cause ? But gentlemen , give him credit for believing that he was not mistaken in seeking to » id this country of what was a deplorable and discreditable liability on the part or a portion of its inhabitants . Consider me as offering no opinion of my ovm—I am speaking for the . defendant . _ He has thought it right th . at ~ T . iie state of married life should
be protected ; and that no one , armsd with the " thunders of he 3 Ten . should have Hie power of wieldin ? them to prv into every minute , strauge , secret fe 3 mff » thocght and acnon of the wife who was nnder ~ his care . " Under this influence , h-- * brought the sp bject before the public , and catted lorth . the energies of the people of England to put an end to the system . There is no occasion , or circnmstance , or peiioJ of fife , to wMch the same feeling mignr not directitself ; and when yon consider the rime at ¦ which this was done , and the proceedings from first te lasuyouwill probably be of thesame opinion . In point oflaw , the first publication is xipqutrsdoiiablT a libel ; butitinightproceed from two distinct motives the cool malignity of a man . either intent on the
abasement or destruction of some particular person or sect , oi asalearned enthusiast , well conversant with the fathers of the Church , who has clothed himself in Ms armour for protecting the weakness of human nature : and in that view , and not as a private Ebelien I submit that the defendant published the artides in question . Far be it from me to offer any ob « enarions either on their style or matter . But jemember the state of excitement in which the public mind has been on these particular subjects during a number of years past ; recollect t-e tendency of those particular parties with which the deiendant thought right to grapple . I appeal to jour judgment as to -what the weakness and infirmity of human nature is ; and although I may be compelled to declare that the first pnolicatioa is a
Sbei . yet 1 thint you will treat it as one occasioned by tit ? existence of / certain rules , forming part of a svstem . rather than an attack on those persons who Hare come forward to "rindicate their character . On tae part of the defendant . it gives me p leasure to feel mvsclf justified in raying that in his mind ne . er entered in the remotest oegree the least inteation oi questioning the virtue either of the reverend gentleman who has stood here before you , or the other chaplain whose name has been mentioned , or of thoie whom he considers the helpless victims of a wroLg , stem , and unbending discipline ; but I have also to state that for no purpose would he deviate from those strong convictions , so powerful in his own mind , as to the fatal tendency of that system
of which he has cMefly complained . 1 am happy to ¦ dank , in reposing in your hands the fate of the defendant , 1 repose it in the bands of men , who have STjf&cient knowledge , experience , and 3 udgment , to investigate the case , and sufficient firmness 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 yon that however libellous the papers are , tbey are not within the scope of this cr iminal information—either libels on the indivir duals whose names are given in the first counts , or the particular nunnery " alluded to in the fourth
count . . .. Baron Aldebsox . —If it were an attack on any other religion , it might not be a libel —/ Mahomedanism , for instance , not being a reliHion of the country ; but the Catholic Church is different , and therefore part of the constitution of the country . 31 r . Alexaxi > er continued by reiterating the latter sentence , observing that his ' LordsMp must have misunderstood Mm . He then concQndea by saying , SB . advocate has no right to state bis own opinion , OT even Ms hope . Important as this question is to the defendant , J air . - 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 caimot for a moment doubt that the world will be satisfied . ¦
The Learned Barox then summed up the case . After reading over the record , and drawing the attent ion of tlie jury , to the various counts , he stated , mat if . they were of opinion that the articles in question 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 ) , ti"P lie was bound to tell them , sitting there as judge , that they were not libels , and t ill less the libels they had to censider on that occaaon . He apprehended that in this country a man had a perfect right to express his opinions on anysnbject , and discuss it in any way he pleased , consistent with law ; and even if the articles were Ebels on the whole church , still the defendant was
not gmlty of the ofience imputed to Mm in that indictment . But no man had a right to say the Scorton Nunnery was a brothel ; he might question their condnct in a lawful way and on proper occasions , but he had no right to inflict a ^ iarticulsr injury on individuals , by attacking their characters Be apprehended that tne form oi interrogatory , in which" the first libel was put . made no difference ; if a man asked a qnestion with a view to insinuate a fecL it was precisely the jsame as if he asserted it . If it were the intention of the party that the worid should believe that improper condnct was carried on * t Sconon Nunnery ( and the necessary consequence < £ a man ' s act displayed his intention ) , then 20 doubt existed that the pnbncation was a I * L With respect to the article , " The Romish
iox unkennelled , " nine-tenths of that _ strange paper TFas an attack ( perhaps an injudicious one ) ° ^< he Catholic religion , containing things , -which , ? o&iher calumnies or truths we have no means of J ^ gag . and ¦ which hare been long since repented of i- « J ^ es ° f whom they are asserted . They chiefl y refer to ancient times ; when the Church and tie people ofthe wodd were in a far less state of Miprovement than at present -an external appearance of decency , at least , has increased tfiqi the civihzation of the world . But wuang and maligning individual character was » ot the means to attack the Catholic church ; if ?_ aboun ded in errors ( and he , as a Protestant raieved it
) they should be corrected by fair , reasonawe , proper , and cogrnt argument . He thought cfMessio n a bad system , but he did not ground ids < wecnon on cases of indiridtial immorafiry , but on " ^ general qnestion , what such a system would Bece * £ arily lead to in the hands of ill-disposed -pert 0 I ^ l and on this he w oul d invite the calm consideranon of mankind , without descending to part icu-^ Des . There could not be a partial confession , it ^• Btt be entire or nothing ; and the qnestiun 'hv 0 *^ arose "whether more or less injury was done "J abstgining from it or continuing it . His Lordship toen read over the passages in the libel which to ? to-re ! marked in italics ; and left these questions for <~ e jury , whether the publications meant to impute

to the priest an-i nuns of Scorton Convene that they had conducted themselves in an improper and discreditable -way . If they thought the assertions m the libel admitted -and were in tented to have such a constroction , then they wonld nnd . a-j w ^ . . ! « mltT . If on the otherhand they considered the publication merely an attack on the whole body of the Roman Catho ' lic church , and in no part an attack on the individuals in Scorton Nunnery , they would return a verdict of Not Guilty . If they thought it both an . attack upon the whole church , and alBO on this -part icular 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 question with them ; and after an absence of about holt an hour returned iuto Court . On their names being called over , the Clerk enquired their verdict , when the Foreman replied , "Guilty . " His Lordship applied © n what counts , and the Foreman answered on the "first . TLis amounts to finding the defrndnnt guilty of publishing a fal * e and scandalous libel on the Lady Abbess and nuns whose names are stated in the record .
The deiendant , 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 up for jndgment at the Court of Queen ' s Bench ( out-of which the record proceeded ^ next term , ¦ which , commences about a fortnight after tae Northern Circuit concluded . After the verdict bad been recorded , the Clerk of Arraigns called over the names ofthe gentlemen vrho bad been summoned as a special jury in the case of Darlington Swinery v . Oathercote , whicb , however , was a mere forra , n . s the prosecution was withdrawn ; and those jurors that did answer were informed that this proceeding would entitle them to their fees .

His a ; t of tiankruptcy was committed en tbe 20 ih March , and tbe riat issued on the 25 th April . When tbe assignees esaiuiued the accounts , they foond tbat dnring tbe short time . * lr . Ross had been in business , he bad managed to incur liabilities to the event of £ 11 . 000 ; and the whole of what lie possessed at the time of the stoppage amounted to £ 1400 value in sto k-iu-trade , household furniture , dec . -A . strict . scrutiny was rmade , and it was then found that his brother-in-law had been the peculiar object of bis care , and that Le had extended security to Him wliicb . he had denied t » other creditors . Tins was the gev . eral character * f
tbe transaction . In December . 183 d , inert ? wentwo bills running for £ " 1371 , on which tbe defendant was liable , in case tbe bankrupt did not honor tbem with his acceptance . One was due on the 3 i ) tb o ! March , and the other on tbe 7 th of April . When the t ime drew near for the first bill being provided for , on the 29 th March , he gave bis shopman directions to collect as much wool as tbey had ou the premises , and take it to his brother ' s . The shopman 5 » d they had very little , on which be directed him to" purchase some of Mr . Roberts , » nd wool whs obtained to the amount of ± ' 491 . This wool was converted into bills , and served to meet the first demand . To meet the second bill , which b-came due on the 6 th of April , 'hf bankrupt collected wool , toils , and tops , to t ;; e value of £ 322 , were taken to the defendants and on tbe 16 th April , additional goods , which amounted in the total to £ " 501 and a
iractton . Mary Ann Glvnn , servant to the bankrupt , proved two denials to Mr . Speight , of Bradford , ou the 20 th of March , while he was then in tbe house . Cross-examined . —The warehonse is near tbe bouse . Mr . Ross did not go out that afternoon until five o ' clock , bntshe could not say as to whether he went eut in the evming . He might go to the warehouse and transact business . Next day be went out as usual , for anything witness knew . James Heywood . was g ; oom and warehouseman to Mr . Ross in 1 S 35 . He knew Mr . Speight , who was a grocer and ironmonger ; be came once to tbe warehouse in the early part of April ; but witness did not tell Ross that he had been there . Cross-examined . —Mr .

Cresswxll . — 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 . —( Lauphtrr . ) Mr . Cresswxlu—Why did you not take it out like a man ? As the book from which it was extracted was not in his own hand-writins , Mr . Cresswell said he had no right to look at it , aud tben asked the witness to reiterate the sum 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 , 1837 , he remembered buying some goods of Mr . Roberts ; he saw them first at his warehonse , on the 23 d March . On the Wednesday following , the bankrupt ' s bookkeeper djected him to go ana purchase the goods , which consisted of thirteen sheets of Hereford mper machins . They were delivered to the warehouse ; > ix > heets were sent tbat 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 Ib 36 , and March , 1837 . goods to the value of £ 10 , 000 was consigned to thenu The 23 d or 24 th of March was the last delivery . The usual advance is 70 to 7 o per cent , on the invoice price . From February to tbe end of March , wool had fcllen from 30 to 40 per cent , in consequence of the panic , and thpre was great difficulty in discounting bill * . Mr . Knight was a considerable purchaser on the . 20 th Marchthere was ten or twelve sheets of wool went to him , wMch was packed up tbat day . AVimess did not reme-mber whether Mr .

beginning of this year , and by no means umisual to persons m trade . He contended first ; that there was no act of bankruptcy ^ and nex t that this was no D lnt ^ r eference » DQt merely a common occurrence oi nomine good * as a security for accommodation mils , and there was not the slightest pretence for calling this transaction a fraud . After stating what he should prove the Learned Counsel then called-¦ Air . JoshuaHatton , who was in the service of the bankrupt The defendant and Mr , Ross bad considerable dealings together ; in December , 1836 , Mr . tearnley bought _ 8 ome wool of Mr . Ross , to the amount of £ 371 ; it was paid for by two acceptance *; About the 26 th or 27 th of Mareb , W , he was sent to Air . Fearuley , to reqnest him to make an advance
on goods to be consigned for sale . He at first retused , but at last consented ta advance £ 800 , on condition that they should be released in a week . The same day some wool was delivered at Mr teamleys warehouse . The drafts for them were "towards exchanged-by him to Messrs . Hustler and Blackburn . Before Ross' stoppage a conoiderab . e quantity of good « was consigned to Hustler and to . Last Good Friday , he went to London about xVlilnthorpe ' s bills , but returned without any thing ° v i !*? ' - sP « gbt had a bill of ekchange , for the balance ot his account then running . On-the 20 th March , ' 1837 ,-Mr . Knight was at the warebousti oi Mr . Ross ; the latter and Knight made a bargaiii
for aconsignmentof wool for advances . In February preceding , Mr . Fenrnley bought wool , to the amount of £ 400 or £ 500 < of Ross , for which a bill was given £ 933 , nearly £ 500 of this being a loan . Mr . Alexaxder replied , in aa eloquent speech , when the Judge summed up , leaving the Jury to say whether tbis was a frandulent transaction if so , that then the verdict must be for the plaintiff ; but if tbey believed that on the 20 th iMarch tbe bankrupt "kept house or otherwise absented himself ; " ' th ,-n though it might be a fair and honest transaction , the verdict must also be for the plaintiff , because tbe bankrupt had no right to enter into it , seeing thnt all his goods then belonged to his creditors .
1 ne Jury retired , and alter an absence of half aw hour , returned a verdict for the plaintiff , on both counts .

Henry for the defendant . Tbe action was brought to try the r ight ot the Corporation to receive tolls on goo s laden from the river Hull , on the eastern side of the bridge , in the township of Tick ton . Tbe power of levying tolls on goods aiir ) merchandise was £ T . inrpd hv the 13 th George I ., an Act passed iu 1727 . and confirmed by a similar one in tbe . wfeii ol
( ieorge II .. Hini desismed to'kepp .-thp navi-atiou , rond * , and landing-places in proper repair . The tollsIc-vied on c : > al » were ( il . per clialdrnn ; and nltngetker they were let for between £ 300 and i ' -JOO pi-r year . The real defendants were Messrs . S ( ephenson , . coal and boiie-inerchan s , at Hull Bridge , ( Mr . Craven being tbe captain of their vessel , ) and they resisted tbe payment of tolls , alleging-that although the Acts of Parliament gave the Corporation a right to levy tolls in a certain district , yet ; hat t ' leir language limited that right to the we .-teni side-of the r iver , the freemen in that part not Wiui ; allowed to vote , or turn on the Bt'Vvrlev strays .
Two witnesses having proved tbe refusal to pay toll , J . IVilli * , E < o ., the Town Cleri , was calied , wbo proved that dur ing 28 years , the magistrates and officers of the Corporation liad exercistd 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 tbe building of Oase Bridge , costs of prosecnri . ms rander various Acts of Parliament , bp-ou « h mte , d : c . < tec . The Parliamentary Boundary Act
inclnded so much of tb « parish of St . John as was within the liberty and precincts of Beverley , and under this Act the inhabitants of Tickton voted . Hull Bridge was included in the limits of the ancient borough , but not tbe land on each side of it . The inhabitants were exempted from East Riding Juries , by serving at Beverley Sessions : the Mayor sat as coroner at inquisitions at Tickton , and until the pacing of the 6 th and 7 th William IV ., it was included in a ward , and the rate-payers voted for municipal officers .
Cross-examined . —He knew from one of the charters tbat Landholme Bridge , on the west side of the river , was in ancient times called H ull Bridge . Toll had never before been demanded in Tickton . The Corporation did not repair the roads on tbe east . side Two aldermen , who are merchants , trade in coals , &c , and use tbe river Hull . Two or three aged witnesses were called to prove similar facts ; tut it appeared that although the masters-of vessels on the west side had been " asked , those on tbe east side had not . Mr . Stephenson ' s carts used tbe road several times in a day , but tbey paid toll at the turnpike toll-bar . Mr . Cresswell then delivered an eloquent address for the defence . Tbe jury were called upon to say whether they would construe the Act ot 1727 in " a
stricter sense than it had been Tor 111 years . He then argued that the township of Tickton wns not included in the liberty and precincts of Beverley , mentioned in ancient acts of parliament . He contended that the facts « f the sons of freemen in Tickton not being allowed the right of voting , or pasturage on the strays , and no tolls having been demanded on the east side , when more trade was carried on than atprasent , was conclusive argument that the claim of the defendant to exemption from toll , was indefeasible . In cenclusion , he appealed to the jury whether they would now , for the first time , impose those tolls on the people of Holdeniess —not for the public benefit , out to satisfy the ambitious designs of uelfish considerations of " new lights" which the Municipal Reform Act had introduced iuto the Beveiley Corporation .
The Learned Baron briefly summed up , when the jury retired . On their return , they gave a verdict for the defendants . INGRAM AND OTHERS V . GIBBON AND ANOTHER . Mr . ALEXANDER ^ Mr . Wjghtman , and Mr . Hjlpvard were for the plaintiffs : Mr . Cresswell , and Mr . To . mlinso . v for tbe defendants . The action was for an alleged trespass in the close of the plaintiffs , called Spring Wood , between t-e 1 st of Apr il to th& 11 th of September , 1837 . There were four counts in the declaration ; the defendants pleading that there was a right of road , and had been so for forty year ? , 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 settlp the question . A conversation arose between the counsel on each side , but an arrangement could not be effected . After two or three witnesses were examined , an arbitrator was appointed . His Lokdship said he should take no more causes , and the Court adjourned . ( Continued in our Stk page . )

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mauk-Lane , Monday , July 16 . Up to Friday in the paBt week the weather was as tinfi and favourable as possible for the growing crops , but on Saturday and yesterday a great deal of rain fel ., with , however , a favourable change this morning , al though yet rather unsf-ttle '' in appearance . The quantity of Wheat on sale trom Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , was limited at to-day ' s markets , and there was a very short supply of Barley , Beans , and Peas , from these c unties , but , a good arrivul ' o . fOats mostl y from Ireland again , having few from our own coast or Scotland . There was a good steady demand for Wheat from our town millers , and all fine qualities brought fully the rates of this day se ' nnight ; few sales having taken place to shipcoaatways enabled our millers to jiijike their purchases . without giving any advance , except now aivl then' for select 'white thrashed and heavy , bnt this was not sufficient to make any alteration in the general quotations . Klour brought lost week ' s currency . Barley supported p rices , with a fair sate for grinding purposes . * Malt was much , the same as last week . Beans and Peas realised full as much money , bnth articles 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 beingmostly confined tn the consumers who could not buy tine Corn cheaper , and the factors held all sorts pretty . firmbr , expecting the Irish supplies to fall oil ' somewhat now , untifthe shi pping of new Corn commences . There was a good demana for bonded Wheat , at fully the rates of this day se ' nnight for all prime qualities , and ' ihany holders are withdrawing their samples from sale .
