Numerous complaints had been made to the magistrates by persons who bad had their bell handles , knockers , and doorplates stolen , or the psllsades in front of their booses tarn down , and as these outrages were most commonly perpetrated In tbe liee of road leading to the barracks , suspicion fell on tht privates of the corps snd their friend ' s , la conscience of this , the commander of the brigade bas nightly tent " J

      oat patrols , which led to tbe apprehension en Friday night last ot Oapt . John Peter Heed , and the Hon , Chat . Churchill , officers la the brigade , both of whom were lodged for the nlgbt in the station-house , and were on Saturday taksn before tbe magistrates for examination . One of tntra nat habited touttwhat in the garb of a navigator , and the other ae a gentleman . There were two charges of wilfal trespass preferred against the two ; and Captain Need was furtner charged with steallsg a door-knocker , the property of Mr It . M'Donail , a wholesale tea-dealer , residing in Qaeen Square . It appeared from the evidence of police-constable Davis , No . 63 of tbe central divlilon , tbat at two o ' clock that morning , while oa doty in Water Street , St Paul's , be saw the prisoners Capt . Need and the Hon . Mr Churchill , end another who escsped , under circumstances which ex-< £

      cited his aasplclons , and induced him t » natch their movements . He saw them go to the bouse , No . 2 , Cave Street , Portland Square , where they polled down the l ron railings , after which they proceeded to the residence of H . Pullllpsrt , a profeisor of the French language , at the corner of the square , where tbey pulled a marble door-plate down . Tbe constable after seeing them com . mlt several offences , seised bold of Captain Need end Mr Churchill and conveyed them to the station-house . When there he searched them , and found in C » pt » in Need's coat pockets part ef a brats deor knocker . Fr < m information he afterwards received he was Induced to go into Q en Square , and examined the prem ' ses there , and at tbe house No . 12 , occupied by Mr M'Dinald , he

      found that a portion of the knocker had been etolen , and upon fitting that found upon Captain Nded to what remained on the door it fitted exactly . —The Mayor said that it often pained the magistrates to beat complaint * made of the conduct of the privates of the brig *** , because the great duty of the military was to protect life and property . Hon could It be expected tbat the subalterns of a force would be veil conducted while their officers set them a dissolute example ; tbe duty of the magistrates was a ptlnfnl one , but tbey would ulicbarge it faithfully . The prisoners were then fined in penalties ofl 5 « . and costs , and 20 s . and costs for tbe wilful tret . passes ; and for the f « lony , Cipt & in Need was folly com mltted to take his trltl at the next quarter sessions , Ths prisoner was admitted to ball .

She was ballast laden , bound from London to Greenock , and from streis of weather attempted to pat Into tb « harbour of Saltcoats , following the wake of a small brig , the Fsrshnm , which made tho harbour before ber . It was at tbe time blowing hard from the south west , and not keeping a stead y course she struck oa the north side of the entrance , and then cams over on to the perch at the polat of the harbour on the sooth side , lying in a

      very bad position . The crew , sixteen in number , chit fly luaners , * were all landed safely by means of ropes swung over the end of tbe qiaj—the whole crowd Of people assembled having cheered heartily wken tbe last was taken off . The vessel was entirely broken up in about an hoar afterwards—planks , boxes , barrels , & i ., floating on shore . What remains of her is now off the perch , the prinoipel portion of her lying inside of it .

It appeared from the evidence that tbe prisoner bad said tbat he knew as much as aoy oae about the murder of Bright , and had made other statements with respect to Brlght ' s death , whioh ceased Mr Newton to apprehend him , After be ing lodged in the lock-up a abort time , he requested te tee Mr Nawtcn , the chief constable , to whom he offered ta tell alt he knew of the murder 'if be wonld forgive him .

The uppir storey bad been bent or jutted out by a strong wind loon after tho factory was erected , so that the top of the front wall projected over the centre of the building fourteen inches . The brick work in the top storey being in some parte ia a very de cajod snd dangerous state , induced tbe new proprietor * to decide on lowering the factory one storey . How this was to be done requ ' rod some consideration . To tak * off tho reof , which was estimated to weigh fifty tons , and rep lace it on the third storey , would not onl y be very inconvenient and likely to Injure the machinery in the lower rooms but would cotton immense sum . This difficulty , however , wss overcome by Thomas Shepley , an ingenious mechanic , who bad long worked for Messrs Bull . He undertook , with assistants , to take out thf

      top storey and lower the roof without remcv . ' ng it off the building . In the first pltce he made two inclined planes , with four long plaokt on the edge , supported by poles , outside the building , and had waggons to tilde down the bricks , < fco ,, the full waggons to pull the empty ones np by means of a rope aad pulley . He then lifted with loag levers , alternately , the beams which tupported the roof , and tapporttd then with small blocks ef wood , whilst he lowered tbe walls one course of bricks at a time , so that tbe roof was graduall y and Imperceptibly lowered about eig ht feet to the top ef Ihe thlri storey , without the least accident occurring , or without the breakage of a single tile ; or crack In the roof , to the astonishment of many who saw the work in progress , and of others who , although pasting frequently , bad no idea rf what Was going on , so gradua ly was it brought to its resting place . When completed , people could scarcely 'believe their own eyes , ' that so large factory should bare been reduced from four to three storeys , as though it had been effected by magic .

      Trial Of The London Stone Masons Again A...

      TRIAL OF THE LONDON STONE MASONS AGAIN ADJOURNED . IHB QOKBN V . ORAT AND OTHERS . —N 0 VEHB 8 B 27 . In this case , whioh stood ov « r from the last ses » sion , the defendant Roderick Gray , and a number of other persons , were indicted for unlawfully conspiring together to intimidate and prevent other workmen from entering the service of the prosecutor , Mr Trego , » builder . Mr Bodkin , for the proiecoter , now applied to the Court to postpone the trial on account of the absence , from illness , of Mr Gnnn , the clerk at the Lambeth Police Court , who took the depoaitionspf some of the defendants upon another inquiry , and which depositions it was absolutely necessary , for the purposes of the present inquiry , should be proved on the present occasion ; and , as he believed he could not , as counsel for tha prosecution , safely proceed with the trial

      in the absence of that gentleman , ho trusted the Court would postpone the . inquiry . MrCuRmos said , be appeared for six of the defendants , and he must , on their behalf object to their being compelled to attend again upon this charge , lie begged to remind the Court that in the first instance a charge of assault was preferred against only one of the defendants , and in consequence of what took place upon that inquiry twenty other persons were now indioUd for a conspiracy . They had been already put to great inconvenience , and rather than the trial shou'dba again postponed , he was ready to admit all that could be proved by the absent witness . Mr Boukw , iu answer to a question put by the Recorder , said , that he desired t j prove tha evidence given by the witnesses who were examined at the police court for the defence upon their crow-fsuoination , The persons who were so examined were now defendants ...

      , The Recorder , after looking at some of the depositions referred to by Mr Bodkin , inquired whether any other object could be expected from this prosecution than to vindicate the law and make the defendants and the public generally aware that such proceedings were illegal and unjustifiable . Upon this point he bad no hesitation in saying that any attempt by violence and intimidation to prevent workmen from continuing in the service of their employer , was dearly an illegal act , and subjected the parties committing it to be punished under the statute . With this understanding he would suggest that a courts might be adopted whioh would rende further ptocWmge unnecessary .

      Mr Bauaniinr , who appeared for ethers of the do fendants , said they were now . aware of the effect of the law , and , having been already put to very great expense , he considered th . it the purpsses of justice , would be quite answered by the course suggested by the Court , and tbat it would be very advisable , under the circumstances , not to waste the publio time in an inquiry wHioh would probably occupy two days for no purpose . Mr PABRT said that he was also instructed to defend some of the defendants , and , on their parts , he was requested to state , if any act of indiscretion , vere proved against one ot two of the parties who were indicted jointly with them , and whioh he believed was the case , that they utterly repudiated such an

      act , and were perfectly aware that the resetting to my act of violence or intimidation was illegal and unjustifiable , and were , therefore , quite willing to accede to the tuggestion of his lordship . Tbe defendants were all hard-working and industrious men , snd when his learned friend took into con ; iteration the inconvenience they had already suffered , and the enormous expense tbey had been pnt to , he trusted he would feel that he would not be neglecting his duty as counsel for the prosecution in adopting the course pointed out by his lordship . Mr Bodkin said be entertained as much respect for persons in the position of the defendants as aoy one present , so long as thoy conducted themselves with propriety in the position h which tbey were placed , but , if they committed what appeared to him to be a serious infraction of the law , they must abide by the consequences . The prosecutor was not in attendance nt that moment , but he felt that he

      [ was quite justified in stating that he had no vindictive feeling towards the defendants , and his only desire was to vindicate the law , and to show persons in their position that such proceedings would not be countenanced . As to the mischievous character of the offence of endeavouring by violence and intimidation to prevent au employer from carrying on his business as he pleated , it waa unnecessary for him to make any remarks , but , after what had fallen from the Court , he would take care to communicate with the prosecutor , and opon the next occasion he should have further instructions upon the subject . The RtcoRDsrt then said , that the ca se should stand over until ; next Monday , aad , witboai giving any opinion , upon the facte , he eould not help Myiig , Considering the position of the parties , —workmen to be employed , and a muter requiring their services , -that the sooner they should oome to an amicable arrangement the better . The whole of the defendant * ,, who hai been out on bail , then left th »! court .

      'Dam Swam . '—Charlea-Upsbaro-and Thomas Worcester were indicted for unlawfull y obtaining money by false pretences . . Mr Cuaki lit , in opening the case said , that before he mfermed the jary of the circumstances under whioh tbe charge was preferred , he ttltlt bis duty to tell them that the offdooe alleged against the prisoners was connected with oae ef those proseedlngs termed * Derby , or racing sweeps / which , if not clearly laid down to . b * Illegal .

      were certainly considered ' to be very mUchitrous s „ g demoralising in their tendency . The prosecutor of tbe Indictment was Mr William Harris , a respectable ) lC ( nte « victualler In South * ark , who had been extensive !; eD gaged in carrying out ' sweeps' of thia descri ption W he should state to the jury , that sines the public e , pMKton , by the magistracy of Lsndon , of the IllcgaUt , of these proceedings , he bad resolved to have nothing more to do with them . The fraud imputed to the pit . toners was committed in June last , and there could ba very little doabt tbat a sum of money was obtained from the prosecutor by means of a . fraud ; and he appte . headed that whatever op ' nlon might be entertained re * garding the illegality of tbe ' sweep' or racing loiters system , that this would afford no justirlcatlon for , hJ

      conduct of the prisoners , it it should be satisfactorily established that they were tbe authors of tbe fraud The learned counsel then proceeded to ' atatethe clrcomn ' aBc . ! under which tho charge was prifYmd . It npp earc that in Jane a * sweep * was epened at the house of tha prosecutor , tbe Equestrian Tavern , in the BUekfri „ , road , for one of the races to be run at Ascot , each chance . In whioh was 5 a „ snd the holder of tbe first h * rio was to be entitled to £ 7 . Two persons , named Cockley aad Davldge , purchare-1 a jslntchance in this ' sweep , ' aad tbe ticket numbered St , referring to a horae naa > ei Yempto , was drawn for them , and this horse tarned oat to be the winner of the race . The defendant Li psheea acted as clork to Mr Harris , and managed the different sweeps / and it was his duty to have given Intelli gence , to the persons who were the winners ofthopr ' z « w ins ' esd of doing so it seemed that be marked the name

      ofDdvIdge upon the ticket of a horse named FaargaO and retained the winning ticket in his possession ; Very soon after the race tbeqiher defendant , Worcester . wen to tbe prosecutor ' s boute , and tendered the ticket re , ferring to Vamp ire , and Mr Harris having no suspicion paid him the amount of the pria * . It turned out upon Inquiry that Worcester was brother-in-law te the etoer prisoner , and the latter , when he was appreh « nde ) admitted tbat he had bad the money from Worcester ' but said that he had been ' picked np' tbe same night ! and had lost the wbele of it . The learned counsel , having concluded his statement of the facts , said that the question to be dicHed in this case was quite apart from any consideration as to tbe prudence or propriety of carrying on this sort of proceeding , and was simply whether a servant conld have any justification for ob « talnlng potscstion of bis matter ' s property by a false pretence ' .

      Mr Hamis , the prosecutor , was then examined " , ' and he proved the facts as stated by the learner ] counsel . Mr flo «« r submitted to tbe Court that tbe charge could not be sustained . Inasmuch as the whole trotac . tion was one of a gambling and Illegal character ; snd that tho prosecutor had no such legal Interest la the money as wonld enable him to tbo protection of the law . Some discussion ensued upon this point ; bat at length the Bicobdeb said that , although the transaction might be of an illegal character , yet be did not think the ob . tion wonld apply to tbe charge of obtaining money from Vie prosecutor under falsa prettnceo . He woald , how . ever , he said , reserve tbe point for farther consideration if such a oonrse should become necessary .

      Wiliiak ReusVNE , the cenetable who apprehended Worcester , was then examined , and he dipnied that wken he took him into custody be denied all knowledge ) of any fraud , and said that be merely presented tha ticket at the request of his brother-in-law , and that he handed him overall tbe money . The IUcoidbr expressed his opinion tbat the evl > denoe did not support the charge of conspiracy . The evidence just aa much tended to show that Worcester was the instrument tnetely of Llptham aa that be WSS 8 > conspirator with him , Mr Clabesok said , he felt the difficulty suggested by his lordship , and as he had no farther evidence to con « neat that prisoner with the transection , he should with * draw frem tbe prosecution .

      The Recoedhi then addressed the jury , and explained to them that , b y tbe law , a cbarge of conspiracy could not be supported unless two persons at least were shown to be concerned id it ; and , therefore , as the evidence failed ia this case to establish that fact , they mast so . quit the prisoners . He at the same time said , becoald not help atatlng tbat tMa was a moat useful lemon for per-ons wbo were connected with suoh illegal and Alt * honest proceedings as these racing sweep * , In his opinion ,, clearly were . It wss a proceeding merely for the pur . pose of get lag cus . omand profit la a most Improper man * ner . There was no pretence for styling that it promoted the interest of the turf , and it had mme of the lustlfi .

      cation that was extended to borseraolng , at tending to improve the breed of horses . On the contrary . It was entirely miicblavous in its action ,, and onl y had the effect of inducing persons to gambh and speculate smai sums of money iu the hops of obtaining a larger amount and htd , in faot , nothing to do with racing . It had hap pened to him on several occasions to hear persons whfi had been convicted of larceny in that court ascribe the commission of tbe crime to the temptation held oat to tbem to join theie miserable lotteries or ' swee j s ' as they were termed , snd he was not sorry to see that those who encouraged snob proceedings were ultimately suf . ferers themselves .

      The jary then , under his lordshi p ' s direction , retatiwl verdiot of ' no : guilty . ' The Recoidee , on handing back to tho prosecutor the tickets connected with the sweep , observed , that be hoped he should never again see each things la a court of justice . He , at the same time advised the prosecutor ¦ ot to have anything more to do with ' Derby eweepa * in future .

      Mr Habiii said he had given them up entirely . The BrcosDES said , be acted wisel y in so doing , for , ' independently ef tbe risk be ran with regard to his license , he would be liable , ander a particular statute , to a penalty cf £ 500 ., If his connexion with suaa a lottery , as these' Derby sweeps' clearly were wtre made out .

      An Address On Behalf Of The Forty-, Six ...

      AN ADDRESS ON BEHALF OF THE FORTY-, SIX INDIVIDUALS ARRESTED UNDER COLOUR OF CONSPIRACY—VICTIMS OF WHIG MISRULE .

      'We , tho Chartist Dafence Committee , appea , ( as in duty bousd ) in the name of common humanity , in favour of the above unfortunate persons , nearly all ef whom are werkinglmen . It will be recollected that many of these men were dragged out of bed ia the dead hour of night , and torn from their homes and families , as prisoners , without warrants , or legal authority . The police selected whom they plessed ; their caprice was substituted for law . These poor helpless b » ines were arraigned at the Manchester Borough Court—no charge was preferred ; they were therefore ( thanks to their attorney . MrW . P . Roberts ) liberated upon bail . The magistrates saw their di < lemma—they occupied a false position , and knew the

      consequence , and likewise tbe illegal transactions of the police . The crown lawyers were required-indemnification contrived—an indictment hastily draws up—the grand jury purposely detained—Beswick , superintendent of police , dispatched by special train with the work of the lawyers—the grand jury immediately found a true bill , ( ail of a piece . ) During this time tbe soldiers and police were all under arms , in readiness at the Town Hall . Tha paid agents of our local government conveyed by electric telegraph , the moment the bill was found , the names of all the parties contained in the indictment . The police im * mediately sallied out sword in band , and recaptured their victims , along with many of those who were known to take an active interest in the enure of

      Chartism . These Whig victims were transmitted by railway to the Amizj Court ia Liverpool . The Attorney General , as well as the prosecuting attorney at the Borough Conrt , refused to enter into the cases , even though same , oi the prisoners , presuming theie innocence , desired to be tried during tbe then pesd > ing mhis . The Judge fixed heavy bail , and ia default committed them to Kirkdale gaol . You will observe , the government agents wtre unprepared , evidence was wanting , time was needed te concoct , the number of Powela waa incomplete ; newspapers must be reviewed ; speeches carefully examined ; de *

      taobed sentences selected ; a brief made out ; yes , and much more must be done , in order to blacken the * prisonere'eharacters , insure conviction , damage the cause of humanity , and secure a victory , and thereby uphold the system of fraudulent government a little longer . Oh , friends , they who have penned these lines , are somewhat acquainted with court in * triguery . Bitter experience hea taught them the almost insurmountable difficulties of obtaining justice in political trials . Stratagem , prejudice , part ; and Mistocratioal bigotry , are all put into the scale , and balances the fate of the accused . These political trials are more a display of public opinion than a manifestation of principle .

      These unfortunate men , through the exertions of their Chartist friends , ace now restored to their fa * mirei , and have to . appear at Kirkdale en tbe 12 iij of Deootaber , 1848 . Eighty pounds in bail fee * clerks fees , and conveyance of the victims to their : homes , has been expended ; and three hundred pounds mora will be required to employ Council , and pay witnesses m favour of our friends . We are unable to raise amongst eur Chartist brethren , the requisite sum , in due time ; and are therefore obliged to appaal to all our neighbours and friends of hnffiT « # J a * eU-kno * n foot , that ihe English tourts of Law are very ooatly and expensive . Po-SfifcVfc ° t Stacle . v the **» * ° JoBtice ; whilst wealth often buys eat the law . ni , !«?& U 8 tyo J tt ^ . BewKoudy respond to thiaap i Plication , and enable us to make an effort to save
