      Episcopal Rapacity. Tho Bishops Make But...

' Dr . jmssio ^ ers , io . 8 ^^ the se 6 j Mos K , vhen he vu *{ ,,. - - « nd when was fully eignizant of these fasts ; - the saspicioe was mentioned that he intei 7 to divert the estate from these ' general

      purposes , ' for his own benefit , wrote back an indignant letter , at the very idea that he should be suspected of doing anything either wrong in i tself or disparaging to tho cha racter of a Bishop . Yet after this flourish of virtuous indignation , according to his own statement he has devised the estate to himseii , under a nominal lease to his Secretary , and filled it np with tho names of three of his children 1 Now it is clear .

      that if either Dr . Gra y or Dr . Allen had exercised their right , ho would have had no opportunity of perpetrating such a job , aud that doing so he has alienated the estate from the purposes to which his two predecessors destined it . "What think you is the excuse for this wholesale appropriation of valuable property ? Good intentions' He is going to improve it , and make it much more valuable . He is going to promote agricultural science , aud the erection of villas , at a great outlay of money . "Well , and what then ? Why , perhaps the Church will reap the benefit of the improved rental after the death of the last of the three young MoUKS , whose names are in the lease . Until then the

      "bishop a family will live in clover , out of the revenues of the llorfield Estate . Now , considering the outcry for more bishops and mere clergymen , we really think Bishop Monk mioht have left agricultural improvement , and the erection of urban villas , to people -whose profession it is to attend specially to such secular matters . Why should so holy and so <» ood a man as Dr . Monk trouble himself atliis time of life , with matters which cau ' onlv distract his attention irom his

      sp iritual duties' ? The Ecclesiastical Commission would , no doubt , have paid due atteution to any suggestions from him on these points , when he handed over the estate to them , as he oug ht to have done , and he would have been saved all farther trouble . But no ; the Bight Rev . Father in God could not resist the tempting bait , and has , under the flimsiest pretences , robbed the Church for three generations of a finely situated property , which must every year increase in value from its proximity to Bristol .

      The correspondence with the commission shows all the prelates equally greedy of filthy lucre . They remind one of the text— 'The horse-leech hath three daughters , and their cry is atill give , give . ' The whole of the twenty-six bishops join in the chorus , ' give , give . ' * The Bishop of LONDON , according to his own showing , pockets at least from £ 11 , 000 to £ 12 , 000 over the tea thousand pounds he considers sufficient for the metropolitan overseer . The Bishop of Winchester in like manner receives several thousands more than

      he ought to do ; while Bishop Maltby , of Durham , who ought to receive , according to the bargain he made £ 8 , 000 a year , by skilful management contrives to sack annually about four times that amount ! Now , the country has lately heen convulsed hy a movement in opposition to so-called Papal Aggression—the priucipaliugredieutin which , undoubtedly , was the fact of au episcopacy beiu £ established and recognised h y law . It was an insult to them much more than to the

      Queen , to be flouted with rival titles ; and have their heels trodden upon by the titular dignitaries of an opposition church . How lar the country would gain by the substitution of the on © set of ' black slugs' for tbe other , our readers may judge for themselves yn comparing the following list of Church dignitaries aud their salaries , agreed to by the last concordat between Borne and Spain : — ThesaUrvofthemast Rev . the Archbishop of Toledo -mft \« lGV »*> Tttris l £ \ , 6 M >) .-. year . The salaries of the Archbishops of Seville and Valencia aiil be 15 !' , O 00 reals ( £ 1 , 000 ) a year . Those of the Archbishops of Granada and Santiago , UQ . bOO Mil * ( £ 1 , 400 ) -a year .

The Prelates who are Cardinals will have an extra alluivance of "Ai . outt reals ( £ 'JU 0 ) a year . The A-asillary Bishops of CC'ira and TuneruTe , and the I ' ricr of Hie Orders , will liaxe a s Jarj of 40 / HW leals ( £ 400 ) a vear .

      Here we have nine archbishops , and fifty bishops , provided for with £ 56 , 600 per annum , ? r about one-fourth of the amount we pay * > r two archbishops aud twenty-four bishops . Wh y , the Bishop of Loxdox and the Bishop *> f Durham annually share between them noarly a & much as would pay the whole fiftyahie , the 'Patriarch of tho ' lndies' included . Fro m this it may be seen what an expensive irticle an English Bishop is—whether he is " useful in proportion , we leave to the judgment ' tour readers . One thing is certain , that such

      aonstrous incomes , conjoined with such jstravagant pretensions as those of the English Episcopacy must , in the end , wigust the people of this country . The property left to the Church by p ious aud benc" ^ le nt men , in former times , was intended by varan to minister to the spiritual and educa'ional well-being of the people , not to be f allowed up and absorbed by a host of over-J id pluralisms and bloated prelates , whose only object iu life is to found great families , and to outshine the hereditary aristocracy of the country in the magnificence and luxury of their

      palaces and the extent of their possessions . All beyond a respectable and comfortable livelihood , while engaged in the performance of their duties , is a dead robbery of the public , to whom the fee simple of the eWch property nghtly belongs , and we cannot but hope that the time is coming when the splendid endowments and magnificent revenues arising from »; at property will be devoted to promote the " tellectual improvement and moral elevation f - the whole people , instead of being jobbed , ymnikred , and misapplied for selfish purposes * -it now is .

They would have been beaten outright h- attack upon them bp «~'„ , nv . , ~ r not . The Ea- ' f £ "f st ? b f «' oh- ... ' */ ££ R 1 JY did not show his —aracteristic impetuosity and gallantry . His [ speech was one of" fencing , evasion , and elaho-^« te trimming " . He was more anxious to protect _ ^ self against rep l y , aud save i loopholes for future conservative tyranny in i the colonies than to advocate the cause of

      representative government , » c " was the professed object of his motion . Earl Grey , on the other hand , turned tho whole affair into a personal quarrel , and , under shelter of his position as a peer , attacked the able and intrepid representatives of the Cape Colonists in this country in a p lace where they had no chance of reply ing to him . The Law Lords squabbled about the legal position of Crown colonies , and tho extent of the Royal

      Supremacy over them , aud Lord Truro signalised himself hy the enunciation of a doctrine which even in the palmy days of Toryism—or , to go further hack , the time in which base and servile Judges justified the tyranny of Charles and James Stuartwould have been considered too slavish and degrading . If the new Whig Lord ^ CHANCELLOR does not distinguish himself as an Equity Judge , he is certain to be remembered for his reactionary and despotic

      ten' In the Commons , the week has , as usual at this time of ihe year , been a busy one , though not much business has been done . There is so much to talk about . ' The hamsters , on Tuesday , made a vigorous attempt to get into the County Courts , from which they were at first excluded . It seems that these cheap and speedy courts are superseding the old , lumbering , and expensive processes , invented specially to enable lawyers to devour estates according to law . Westminster is deserted , and briefs grow few and far

      between . Tho further extension of the jurisdiction of the County Courts threatens still more to diminish the business in the Upper Courts , and the gentlemen of the long robe , who at first turned up their noses at the ' cheap and nasty Courts , ' are now glad to he permitted to practice in them . They succeeded partially . The real object was to have exclusive pre-audience as in the Upper Courts , with , of course , briefs , fees , retainers , and all the usual expensive appurtenancies ; but they were defeated , and obliged to put up with such a share of County Court business as suitors may please to give tbem . Their employment is not obligatory . We have

      referred , in a pre vious article , to the Horfield case which constituted the topic of Thursday night ' s debate . The friends of Bishop Monk rely entirely upon his personal character , and his good intentions , and they deprecate condemnation or censure until he actually fails to fulfil these good intentions . That will be shutting the stable door when the steed is stolen . The course the Bishop has taken in alienating the estate , under the very peculiar circumstances in which he was placed , is proof sufficient as to his real intentions ; and , if he does not carry them out , it will be simpl y because Mr . Horsmajj , by bis bold and fearless denunciation , has scared him from his

      prey . The remaining portion of the Session will be mainly occupied with voting the supplies for the y ear . Already a large proportion of the members have left town . The others will soon follow , and St . Stephen's will be as empty as the Session itself .

      Reform Ox The Cab-Rank.—A Correspondent ...

      Reform ox the Cab-rank . —A correspondent says , that within the last fow days the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police hare suspended the licenses of 800 cab-drivers . The Commissioners having ascertained that numbers of tbe licensed drivers were brothel keepers and otherwise improper persons to be entrusted with the public service , on the last annual licensing day in 1 S 50 gave individual notice that strict inquiries would be made on the next occasion , and all who were found as abovementioned or notorious drunkards would be deemed unfit persons and their licences refused . The result has been the snspsnsion of upwards of 800 , TbCSB vigorous measures of the Commissioners have

      astonished the whole fraternity , and several meetings have been held to consider the position of the body . Xatiosal Reform League . —TVe are pleased to see that the calamitous state of Ireland , and the deplorable and almost incredible destruction of life , as disclosed by the recent census , is attracting a great amount of public attention , and also that a public meeting will be held on Monday evening , at the Eclectic Institute , IS a , Denmark-street , Soho , under the auspices of the Council , to deliberate upon the present state of Ireland , and the measures to be adopted . We are informed that several talented advocates and members of parliament are invited to attend .

      SlXGCL & R ACCHTCST . —On Tuesday morning as James Parfitt , one of the porters in the goods department of the Great Western Railway Company , at Paddington , was passing along the platform , in his ordinary duty , when a small cask suddenly exploded , the head of which came in contact with the poor fellow ' s chin , and tossed him some eight or ten fedt into the air , when ho full upon the 2 round about three feet lower than the platform . Upon inquiry we find the contents of the cask to be vfiast , which had been sent up the line . The motion of the train probably brought it to so high a state of fermentation as to cause the explosion . The poor fellow died in about a quarter of an hour . Ths Theatres . —A Reaction . —We are happy to

      find that the last week or two has produced a most gratifying reaction in tke state of the metropolitan theatres , and that they hare for the most part been fullv attended every evening . On some nights , indeed , money has been turned away from the westend houses , and everywhere the business has improved to a degree that we could hardly have anticipated a few weeks since . At the Haymarket the performances have been most successful ; the Princesses has been crowded to the ceiling every evening . The report from the Lyceum and the Adelphi have been equally satisfactory , and we are pleased to find the Olympic and the Ssrandonthis side of the water , and Astley ' s on the farther side , are sharing largely in the general theatrical

      prosperity . Cardinal Wiseman attended at the Mortmain Committee of the House of Commons on Thursday . He was attended by a number of clergymen , mostly converts . The examination began fortiiwith without tbe slightest ceremony . D .: ath of oxe of the LivKiironL Rioter * —An irishman named M * llie , dit-d on Wednesday ' evening from the effects of a gunshot wound received in the la ; e disturbances arising out of the attack made upon the Orange procession . On the Grh inst ., the Bishop of Southwnrk , was consecrated in ihe church of the English College at Rome by Cardinal Franzoni , assisted by Mons & nor Briganti Colonna , Archbishop of toretto and ° Recauati , and Monsignor Salvato , Bishop of Port Victoria , in Australia . A greatnumber of distinguished personage ? , both Italian ami foreign , assisted at the ceremony .

      „ . . . ^ YMSnrj ftV The commmoiA- * ^ -- .. - . „ -q ... ou ior the county of Bucks was opened by Mr . Justice Cresswell on Saturday last -, Borolarv . —James Rod well , aged 44 , was cha . " 5 ea with burglary , with intent to steal . —The prosecutor is a butcher , and proved that on bis going to bed at three o'clock on the niyht of the 2 Sth March last , he left his shop all safe , and his daughter got up in ordor to watch the premises , which she had uood reasons for doing . About half-past four o ' clock a noise was heard of a breaking into the shop window , and the girl , lighting the lantern , threw her shawl over the light , and courageously entered the shoo . When she got in she pulled

      aside the shawl , and discovered the prisoner groping about tbe shop . As soon as he saw her , he exclaimed " ah I" and , going up to her , seized the shawl , which he threw over his head , and then bolted out of the shop into tho street , The girl shrieked out , and pulled the shawl away from the intruder , when her father rushing down stairs in his night shirt captured him after a short pursuit . — When called on for his defence , the prisoner said that his daughter having b en suddenly taken ill he went to the butcher ' s to get some beef , and finding the door open entered . —The jury , however , discredited this explanation of his conduct , and the prisoner having been found Guilty , was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . . ,. . Ax IXC 83 DIARV . —William Targett was indicted

      for maliciously firing a haystack on the Pith June last . —Mr . Power conducted the case for tho prosecution , and proved that during the day on which the fire occurred , tho prisoner , who appeared to be a tramp , was seen idling about the stack in question till half-p . ist six , when the flames burst out , immediately after which he was observed by a gentleman passing by to be running under a hedge away from the stack . On being ' stopped and charged with arson , the prisoner said he was very sorry , but that the stack was tired by a spark from his pipe , which in his fright he had flung into the hedge . No trace , however , of any pipe could be found , though in his pocket was a bundle of matches . —The jury returned a verdict of Guilty , and the prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transportation .

      Stealing Fowls , —Edward Hunt , aged 27 , was charged with receiving fifteen fowls , which had heen previously stolen froni John Laxton , on the 12 th of June last . —Mr . Lathom Browne proved the loss of the property and its speedy discovery , secreted in an oven belonging to the house of tke prisoner ' s father . As the prisoner had only left the service of the prosecutor on the day before the loss , suspicion fell on him , and when taken up he stated that the fowls had been brought to him by a

      " party , ' whose name he refused to disclose , for sale . The supposed larceny having been committed within the jurisdiction of the liberty ef St . Alban ' s the prisoner was there indicted for it , but he was acquitted on the ground that he was the receiver and not the thief . Ou this the prosecutor adopted the same view , and caused the prisoner to be detained till he could bo indicted for " receiving" in the county of Bucks . —^ The jury lound the prisoner Guilty , and he was sentenced to twelve months ' imprisonment .

      YORK . SEnucTioN .-MAi . EV v . Hatcliffb , —This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the . seduction ol his daughter by the defendant . —It appeared from the opening of the learned counsel for the plaintiff , and from the evidence of the witnesses called , that all the parties move in a humble station of life , the plaintiff being a blacksmith at Northallerton , and the defendant a cattle-jobber in the same town . The plaintiff bad six children—three sons and three daughters—his second daughter , Mary Ann , a good-looking country girl , forming the subject of the present complaint . In 1847 the defendant became acquainted with her , and eventually paid his addresses to her , and proposed marriage , and

      afterwards , until 1850 , visited her as her accepted suitor , and in the course of his addresses he informed her that he wa * worth £ 500 . At that time it became known that the defendant was playing the part of a gay Lothario , and that another young weman , named Hannah Forman , the daughter ot a respectable glover living in the same town , was pregnant by him . As far as possible to ligliti-n , the weight of this intelligence to the plaintiff's daughter , the defendant himself broke the news to her , and was at first told by her to break off all connection with her , and go and marry Miss Forman . The defendant ' s entreaties for forgiveness , however , at length prevailed , and under the solornn promise to have nothing more to say to Miss Forman , the

      defendant was again reinstated in Miss Mary Ann Maley ' s favour . In April , 1850 , on one occasion only , as Miss Maley insisted , a connection took place between them , which subsequently led to the birth of a child . Before the child was born , however , the defendant married Miss Forman , who had again become pregnant by him . The present action was , therefore , brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for the loss of his daughter ' s services during her pregnancy and accouchement . —Witnesses were called iov the defence , and it was endeavoured to be proved that the testimony of the plaintiff's daughter waa not to be relied on , and that she had been carrying on a criminal intercourse with the defendant as early as June , 1849 , and also with another man . —The learned counsel for the plaintiff having replied , his Lordship summed up , „ .,, i tha niw fminrl Ji vnrdidt fnr t . lifi nl .

      . tug juij . „» .. „ .. . r . — Damages , £ 25 . Highway Robbkry . —George Staley was indicted for a highway robbery at Sheffield , on the 27 th of April , and stealing a half sovereign and three half-crowns from John Speed , It appeared that the prosecutor , who is a sawyer at Sheffield , on Sunday night , the 27 th of April last , went into a public-house , and there drank a pint of beer , pulling 18 s . in gold and silver out of his pockets , to search for 6 d . to pay for it . Tbe prisoner and two other men were drinking there at the time , and observed tliu , and on his leaving the house followed him . The prosecutor , seeing that he was followed , turned down Holly-street , and had proceeded more than half way down when he was knocked down by a blow on tho side of his head , and in his fall his shoulder was dislocated . He had

      his hands in his trousers pockets at the time , and felt his money . He then saw tbe prisoner pull his hands out of his pockets , and felt a hand put into them . On-recovering he cried out for assistance . Ilia pockets wore turned inside out , and his money gone . A policeman , named Jagger , stated that he had seen the prisoner , whom he knew , follow the prosecutor , and almost immediately after he heard a cry in Holly-street . On going there he met the prisoner running up the street , and endeavoured to take him into custody , but ho then escaped . On going down the street he found tho prosecutor on the ground , makiv . g " amournful din , " with his pockets turned out and his shoulder dislocated . He afterwards searched the place and found a half-sovereign On the ground . The jury returned a verdict of Gnilty . Sentence was deferred . Emrkzzhukxt by a letter Carrif . r . — Richard

      Depledge , aged 40 , was indicted for feloniously embezzling , at Swinton , on the 5 th of December last , a post letter containing £ 15 s ., the property of the Postmaster-General . —It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution , that the prisoner , previous to December last , had been employed for some time as a letter carrier between the towns of Swinton and Boltonupon-Dearn , and in the course of his employment it was his duty every morning to carry the letters from Swinton to Bolton and return in the evening with the letters from Bolton , Between these two places was the village of Barnborough , where William Lyall , a shoemaker , lived . Lyall , had in the wav of his business occasion to order an article

      from Messrs . Stead and Simpson , of Leeds , and to pay for it he put into his letter a sovereign and five shillings , and gave this letter to the prisoner , with special instructions to get it registered at the post-office at Swinton , for which he gave the prisoner sixpence . Kothinir was heard about the letter for several days , and Lyall agiun wrote to Stead and Simpson , of Leeds , . but still receiving no answer from them , he asked tho prisoner about the letter— if he had got it registered . The prisoner replied that he had . and Lyall then asked him for the receipt for the reg istration ; the prisoner said he would give it to him next day . This , however , he did not do , and Lyall not being satisfied , took the precaution again to write to Stead and Simpson , of Leedt > , enclosing

      his letter to them to another person , and he then learnt from them that they had never received his letter , nor the money it contained . Lyall then made inquiries at Swinton , at the Post-office , and ascertained that the Post-mistress had never received the letter , nor registered it . On hearing about this the prisoner became alarmed , called upon Lyall , and said there was some mistake about ihe letter , that he bad lost it , and gave Lyall , £ 1 os . and a penny for the postage , thinking , probably , that Lyall would say nothing further about it : nor did he until some further irregularities brought this transaction to light , aud the Post-office authorities in Loudon ordered the present prosecution to be instituted . These facts having been proved , the jury found the prisoner Guilty .

      The prisoner was then indicted on a second charge of stealing a post letter and 2 s . 'Jd ., thc postage . —It appeared that an old lady , named Elizabeth Sellers , who kept the station hotel at Swinton , had a grandson in California , to whom she ha . 1 written' six or seven times , giving the letters and postage to the prisoner . Her grandson had written to her expressing great anxiety at noc having heard from her , and she again wrote to him in December last , giving tho letter , and 2 s . 9 d „ to pay the postage , to the prisoner . She at the same time expressed a hope that the letter would be sure to go . Tho prisoner said , if ho wrote upon it , "to bo ili'livt ; red to the man himself , " it would be sure to reach him . The poor old woman said if he would insure its reaching its destination by writing

Other offences against property might possibl y bo prompted by the hope of some trittvag immediate gain to their perpetrators ; out arson had a contrary tendency , as those whoso property was thus wantonly destroyed were thereby deprived of the very means of employing and assisting the poor . It was clear that the prisoners were yevsons to allow whom to remain anv longer m tins country would be most improper . The sentence , therefore , on each of thorn must be that of transportation for ten years . BtiKOLARY

      , —Samuel York , aged thirty-six , and William Morris , aged 31 , were indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Thomas Medlow , at Little Staughton , and stealing therein two shawls , five guinea pieces , two sovereigns , a watch , and some pork , on the 17 th of February last . The prosecutor is perhaps thc " oldest inhabitant" of his parish , being eighty-seven years of age . Till within three weeks of the burglary he was up and about , but at that time ho took to his bed , where he has since remained . Being alone in the world , and unprovided with either relative or servant , a kind neighbour , by name Hannah Caress , used to visit him and perform on his behalf those offices which " when pain and anguish wring the

      brow constitule woman man ' s " ministering angel . " It appeared that on the night of tho 17 th February Mrs . Caress put the old gentleman to bed , and , bidding him goodnight , locked his outer door , as was her habit , aud took away the key . On tho following morning early , her husband found that the door was ajar , and on going to the oM man ' s bedside learned from him that , in tho middle of the night , three men entered his bed-room , one of whom went through the idle precaution of laying down on the invalid to keep him quiet after giving him a black eye , while the two others , who had cabbage nets over their faces , took his watch from his pillow and ransacked his drawers , which done , they all decamped , threatening tho frightened

      octogenarian with violence if he dared to get up and follow them or alarm the neighbours . Thc other witnesses in the case showed that the two prisoners , and another man since convicted for horse stealing , had disposed of the shawls at a house at St . Ivc ' s , on the day after the robbery , while they both on theoccasionof their recent capture at Northampton Fair , made statements tending to implicate themselves in the affair . Eventually , the prisoners were both found Guilty , whereupon his Lordship sentenced them to ho severally transported for ten years . Maliciously Wounding . —George Norman , aged 25 , was charged with maliciously shooting at Ann Shaw , on the 10 th of May last , with intent to do

      her some grievous bodily harm . —Tho prosecutrix is a young girl of twenty-two , and the daughter of a policeman . Froni her evidence it appeared that about five weeks before the 19 th of May the prisoner , who is a carpenter , called at the house , and after abusing her mother , said he would do for her father one day . On the night in question , at one o ' clock , a gun was fired from tho road into a bedroom occupied by Ann Shaw and a woman named Doe , and on the next day several shots were found on the pillow and bed and about the room . William Shaw , the brother of the prosecutrix , heard the noise , and getting up , let out a terrier dog , which followed after the footsteps of a man walking away towards the prisoner ' s house .

      Within five minutes after this the father came in from duty , and hearing what had happened , went after the dog , which was then yelling out as if being beaten . This witness , when examined , stated that as he was coming home , when about 250 yards off his house , he heard a report of n gun . and presently after he heard his dog bark as if he had got hold of something . Upon this he went home , and learning from his son what had happened started off in pursuit , Just . at the door ho met his dog coming back after his beating , awd telling him to " hie ou" they both van towards the prisoner ' s

      house , before reaching which Shaw saw a man running along a bodge , stooping with something like a gun in his hand . This man appeared to have on an apron like a carpenter ' s which played around him in the wind . The dogoutstripping his master , was found by him barking furiously and scratching at the prisoner's door , which was fastened . The prisoner , though called by a neighbour as well as Shaw , did not open his door , but simply appeared dressed at the _ window , notwithstanding that he was told that his chimney was on fire . —The Jury , after deliberating a few minutes , returned a verdict of Sot Guilty .

      ABINGDON . The commission for this county was opened here on Monday by Mr . Justice Erie . Business began on Tuesday , at half past ten . The calendar contained the names of twenty-four prisoners . Siiooti . vg at a Member of tiig Univkrsitv . — Joseph Caudwell , 4 \ , « as indicted for shooting at Alexander Henry Ross , on the 2 Gth of June last , with intent to maim , disable , and to do grievous bodily harm , —From the opening statement of the ease for the prosecution it appeared that the prisoner had for several years carried on business in Oxford as an accountant and bill discounter . Some time ago he built a house over tho Folly Bridge at Oxford . The house was of an odd and fantastic appearance—tall , standing by itself covered with figures , and altogether presenting a remarkable appearance . There was an inclosure between it and the road , in which he hstd placed several cannon ,

      of heavy calibre , and presenting to the casual observer a very formidable appearance . There were two guns pointing on thO'iUmigdon-road , over the Isis , and three others were secured to the wall of his house by strong chains passed through rivets . This house excited considerable observation , and was likely to attract thc attention of tho young students who flocked to the university . There was a party on the evening of the 25 tU of Juno at tho chambers of Mr . Ross , and as they were going home some of them thought by way of a lark to displace the prisoner ' s cannon . They went towards his house , and then arose the transaction which formed tho subject of this indictment . After the examination of several witnesses the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty , which was received with some marks of applause , that were instantly checked in court , but were renewed outside when the prisoner appeared there .

      Charge op Perjury . —Joseph Caudwell who w as onTuosday acquitted of tho charge of having shot at an under-graduate of Oxford with intent to do him grievous bodily harm , was called upon to surrender to answer the charge of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury . The case was heard in his absence . Tho charge seems to have arisen out of some money transactions , in which the prisoner was very largely engaged in the city . Some long time-ago , a clergyman , who held a plot of ground in the neighbourhood , being in want of money , obtained a loan from Mr . Robert Loader , of Oxford , with whom the deed of tho property was deposited as security . A further sum was subsequently advanced to Caudwell , who then appeared in the capacity of agent for tho clergyman . An application was made hy Loader to Caudwell about having a settlement of the

      matter , and then it was that Caudwell sought to make Loader his debtor . In the progress of legal proceedings Caudwell made an affidavit that Loader owed him a certain sum of roonoy in reference to the deed of the clergyman . On Thursday witnesses were called , who proved being pre .-ent at the time when Loader paid thc money to Caudwell . —Tbe jury found the prisoner Guilty , and he was again called upon to surrender . He did not , however , ippear , and his lordship ordered the judgment of the court to be that he bo transported for seven years and nay a fine of Is . to UlO crown . Caudwell was in the town durinsr tho greater part of the day , and a * thc trial was approaching tho close he dicamped , and no clue has yet boon obtained of him . It isstafd that , in anticipation of the result , he had made an assi gnment of his propt-rlv to his son , who lws not long since attained' his majoritv .

      HoUSfiBntJAKIXU A \ D ATTEMPTED MCHDBR . —TllOS . Ash , described in ihe calendar as a smith bv trade , twenty-six years of age , was charged with ' having broken and entered the dwelling-house of William Tucker , and with having wounded him and one Anno Whktalcer , with intent to murder them . — The prosecutor ( wh o is a verv old man , in the ninpty-socond year of hid nee ) is one of the vergers of St . George ' s Chapel , Windsor , and resides at Clarence-crescent , in that town . Ou the night of Tuesday , the 18 th Of February , he had retired to rest as usual at nine o ' clock . In thc apartment in which ho slept his housekeeper ( Mrs . Whittaker , an old woman of seventy-two ) occupied a bed in order that she might be able to render assistance to the

      old man in case of sudden indisposition . About half-past One o ' clock Mrs . Whittnkt-r wasawakened by the entrance of a m . ™ , ami on jumping out of bed , she perceived there was a light in the passage leading to the room . Before she could speak to tbe intruder , cr call for assistance , she was struck se-

      So&Itt Inutoi&Me . -

      veral times over the head with a blunt iron instrument ; her eyes were suffused with Wood , an A nhn felt groat pain m one of her arms , which afti ' rwar ' proved to be broken . The old man Tuc-ker ' wa « awakened by this disturbance , and , hasteuinir to the assistance of his housekeeper , was attacked bv the burglar , and struck violently over the head ' Notwithstanding the repeated blows anil ill-usat'C which he received , he managed to push tho assailant out of the room . All this time a man was standing at the door with a lighted candle . Thc old man was positive that the prisoner Thomas Ash ho

      ( wwas well known to him from having I ecn repeatedly lit his house , and on one occasion emploveil in fitting up a . grate there ) was the man who struck him , and denied that he had ever , so far as he I rou-T" £ ' ? diffijre « t account of the transaction , i while luckerwas struggling with the robber his Housekeeper made her way to the window , tvnd shonted "Murder , " and " Police , " upon which both the men made off .-Mr . Baron Martin bavin * summed up tho evidence with groat care , the Jury r (; t . ; rned a verdict of Guilty . —The prisoner was sentOK -cd to be transported for the term of his natural Uto ,- 'io wns removed from the bar protesting his innocence .

      DEVIZES . Cutting and Woi / ndi . vg . —James Gilbert was indicted for maliciously cutting and wonndiii " John Riclison , on the 10 th of June , with intent to do him grievous bodily harm .- It appeared that on the lOlh ot June tho pari les had be .-n at a club . As the prosecutor was returning home in the evening he overtook the prisoner , who wa- walking with two young women . The prosecutor said he was not tipsy , he was not affected , but he was what was called 'in liquur . '_ ' The prosecutor said to one of tho girls , " Harriet , we will walk home happy together tonight if you like . " The girl said , " Very well , John , so we will . " The prisoner said , " What business hast thea here , thee - real carter fellow ? "

      Prosecutor said , " 1 don ' t trouble about thee . " Thev then went on , the prosecutor following . Gilbert came back when they had proceeded about halt a mile , and said , " What hast thee got to say against me ? " Prosecutor said , " Nothing , and I dont ' t care for you . " The prisoner then struck Rickson with some sharp instrument on the nose and on the head . The nese waa very bloody afterwards , and a knife was seen in the hand of the prisoner . —Verdict—Guilty of a common assault . —Lord- Campbell approved the verdict . A ^ little recreation was quite proper , and perhaps a slight elevation was not to be found fault with , but persons must not have recourse to the knife . The prisoner must be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months .

      Another Case of Stabbing . —David Payne was indicted for maliciously stabbing and wounding Daniel Swatton . with intent to do him grievous bodily harm . It appeared that the prisoner , a little boy of 13 , was at work with other boys haymaking . The prisoner had a girl's shawl , which Swatton tried to take from him ; the prisoner bit his finger , and Swatton struck him on the head ; the prisoner ran at Swatton with a prong , but did not touch him with it . Tho prisoner then laid hold of Swatton and cut him with a knife in the hand , and tried three times to strike him iu the belly with the knifo . The jury found tho prisoner Guilty , but recommended him to mercy . —Lord Campbell said it was a very distressing case , but he could

      not . do less than order the prisoner to be imprisoned with hard labour for six months . John Wichell was indicted for stealing a gelding , the property of William Munday , on tho 6 th of July , at Bishopstow . A policeman stated that ho found a horse without bridle or saddle in the possession of tho prisoner about three o ' clock in the morning of the Gth of July , Tho following conversation took place : —Policeman : What are you going to do with tbat horse ? Prisoner : I ' m not going to do anything with it . 1 only got on it to have a nap of sleep . —Policeman :. Whose horse is it ? Prisoner ; If yon want to know , you ' may go and find out . —Lord Campbell : Was he snoring on the hovsol Policeman : No , my Lord . 1 asked him where he found the horse , and he said by the

      side of the road , and he got on it to keep himself warm . The prosecutor proved that tho horse was his , and had been locked in the field the previous night . —Lord Campbell asked the prosecutor if he knew anything of the prisoner . —The Prosecutor : Oh yes , my Lord ; we know ' en well enough ; his brother was transported at the sessions . —Lord Campbell : Does ho live in your parish ?—The Prosecutor : Why , I can't exactly say that he does , because he do live chiefly under the hedges and ricks . The jury lound the prisoner Guilty . —Lnrd Campbell said he would now tell the jury that the prisoner had thirteen times undergone the sentence of the law , and the time was now come when he must go to his brother in a distant land . The sentence was that he should be transported for ten years .

      The Law of PARTNERSHip .--On Thursday tho report of tho Committee of the House of Commons on the Law of Partnershi p was issued . The committee have come to the resolution , " That tho Law of Partnership , as at present existing , viewing its importance in reference to the commercial character and rapid increase of the population and property of the country , requires careful aud immediate revision . " They recommend the appointment of a commission , of adequate legal and commercial knowledge , to consider and prepare , not only a consolidation of the existing law , hut to suggest such changes in the law as the altered

      condition of the country may require . Although the committee confine their recommendations to two points—viz ., a greater facility iu granting chartets , under rules published and enforced by the proper authorities , and an easier mode of borrowing additional capital , without risk to the lender , beyond the amount of the sum advanced ; yet they anticipate many improvements in the laws bearing on the varied enterprises and improvements of the country , from the labours of such a commission as they recommend , and think that a more matured consideration of the important subject will be well purchased by a short delay .

      The Derby Universal Anti-Truck System . —There is something so iniquitous and unjust in tho Truck System , that a thoughtful man wonders why a Christian legislature tolerates its existence for a single hour . What is Truck ? It is fraud , —it is theft in the most aggravated form . A capitalist owns premises uud machinery ;—a workman owns labour and skill . The capitalist hires the workman for his own gain , and is as much indebted to the workman as the workman is to him . The capitalist in disposing of the products of the workman ' s labour and skill demands payment

      m the current coin ot the realm , — -to his workmen he says , You must accept of food or clothing as part payment , which food or clothing is invariably of inferior quality , and forced on ( not sold to ) the workman at an exorbitant price . Such is a case of Truck . Who are the robbed ? First , " the workman : second , the tradesman , who has , in the truck master , an unfair competitor . The honourable capitalist , who scorns to pay his workmen in truck , meets in the market with an unfair competitor , and through him is robbed of a fair and legitimate profit . Aud in times of improved trade , the rate-payers of a district in which truck is a common practice , are prevented generally from having a fair sharo of profit

      arising out of their ordinary business ; but in times of adversity , every man of them is obliged to pay more than his just share of rates . Where is truck common ? Everywhere in the manufacturing and trading districts of England and Scotland . Are there not laws against the Truck System . There are such laws ; but they are iueftective . They are wantonly violated , and with the entire knowledge of magistrates and others , whose special duty it is to seo that the laws are kept inviolate ; aud in cases iu which they are- cunningly but palpable evaded , those magi s trates arc in honour bound to devise remedies , and to sec that the legislature is faithfully informed thereof . —Pro Bono Publico .

      AmtnifKS 5 io . v or Offksders . —There is a clause in the Act for tho better Prevention cf Offences ( It and 15 Victoria , cap , l !)) which should be generally known , by which persons are enabled to apprehend oil ' enders without the presence of a con-Stable . The words of the eleventh section declare — . " And whereas doubts havo been entertained as to the authority to apprehend persons committing indictable offences in the night , in remedy thereof , be it enacted that it shall be lawful for any person whatsoever to apprehend : iny person who shall be found committing any indictable offence in . the nialit , and to convey him or deliver him to some coi ' i ? tab ! e or other peace officer in order to his beine conveyed , as soon as conveniently may be , before a justice of the peace , to be dealt with according to law .

Umvever true it may bo , that in thc aggregate the country is benefitted by the chenpfidng of commodities consequent upon manual labour being displayed by new « u

      the thousands who aro constantly thrown upon what is economically spoken of US their ' own resonrces , ' hy the'tuiregulutci ? action of machinery . Every now invention is hailed in certain quarters with unqualified ri-jir > idiigs , notwithstanding the admitted fact that thousaads are thereby thrown out of employment . The town and neighbourhood' of Nottingham have been long suffering froai a visitation of this character . Hundreds and thousands have

      been forced down to the coudi & on of paupers , and living b y charity , without , " the slightest , hopes of ever again resuming tiicir old avocations . Nor does it appear that it ev « r enter * into the minds of our rulers aud tnagnataa , toinquire what must be the ultimate-end of suchj a state of things . There may , it is true , , be occasional gleams-of sunshine , bat the prevailing industrial atmosphere is gloomy and cheerless .

      From trade circulars which usuall y appear in the Monday ' s-edition of the Times- a complete revolution appears in progress-in the cotton stocking , .-md glove trades of Nottingham . The following extract sufficiently shows the extent and the irremediable nature of the infliction which labour suffers from all these fine inventions , about which there is so much laudation : ¦ — Recent improvements in the demand for liosiery have caused some of the manufacturers to give nut a little more work than has heen the ease re ently . und many Framework Knitters , hitherto totally unemiilovid , have

      something to do , although nothing nice full enip ' o . inicnt . Hosiers are compelled ' to- be thus careful with regard to stock ; tlie new machinery ,, both roundabout , and a more recent invention , a kind of lever stocking fnuue . jjreatly nci'easiuir the power , and diminishing the cost of production in .-ill departments of the Hosiery trade . The Hand Wrought Glove branch seems to be entirely swamped by gloves made ot warp fabrics , silk , velvet , and mixed , which are now stamped out of the piece with ki . ivcs similar to these used in cutting out Uitl gloves . This creates a lurge amount of employment for women , in sewing the joinings together , and occupies , at good wages , a

      considerable number ot warp bauds - , but it Uastov . vNj deprived , a large number of the old class of Hand Wrought Glove handa of the means of subsisti-noe , and they are now enduring great privations , which the hand of charity is Striving to alleviate . From similar causes , large numbers of other classes of Framework Knitters will be compelled to seek for fresh employments . In faet , the old fashioned loom for making r ' ovcs , stockings , shirts , drawers , & C , in u short time will pretty nearly l . ave fallen into disuse , and new descriptions of mwsnitwry , perhaps employing fewer hands , but at better wages , will occupy their places .

      And this process of cheapening production at the expense and to tho injury of manual labour—which has made , and is making , such fearful ravages iu this department of British industry—is petted and fostered wherever it rears its head , reckless of every consideration for the interest und well-being of those whom it so deeply injures . And thus it will—and must—bo until the working classes be made to seo their position , and by making common cause insist that their interests shall bo also

      cared for . It appears to ns to ho nationally humilating , that in the height of this fever-fit of national prosperity , amidst our Glass Palace , glorifications , and Royal and Civic jousts and juiikettings , that thousands of industrious individuals should only be saved from starving by the hand of charity . It is a poor consolation to the famishing Framework Knitter to be told of the prosperous condition of his late employer , who makes from £ 10 to £ 100 per week from a single machine ; he may truly say as the worm to the angler , " Ah ! what ' s sport to you is death to me ;" and Goldsmith ' s well-known lines becomo daily more applicable to the condition we appear to be approaching with rapid strides : — "III fares the laud , to Iiast ' niue ills a prey ,

      Where wealth accumulates and men decay . " We suppose , as in Ireland , a system of forced expatriation will bo recommended , and tried , as tho wisest and best remedy for the conspiracy case . As the Stafford Assize approaches , the contributions of the trades of England to tho Defence Fund are pouring in from all directions . The Compositors of London have contributed the handsome sum of £ o 0 , and the old Society of Newspaper Compositors £ 15—a sum equally liberal iu proportion to numbers . One branch of tho Tin Plate Workers of London ( the Craven ' s Head Society ) have also , in addition to their former liberality to their Wolverhampton brethren , subscribed £ 25 . These and numerous smaller donations

      trom town and country are hig hly encourage hlg . Tho enemy are also , we learn , on tho quivioe , and have , with a truo Perryan sense of justice , just fought desperately before a Judge at Chambers to resist an application for a more full bill of particulars of the charges against thc defendants than is contained in their preefbus indictment . They failed , however ; aud we learn that the net they havo cast is even wider and finer than wo had imagined—so fine , indeed , that we shall not be surprised if it burst by thc weight of the prey it intended or is destined to

      immesh , Every deed done , word spoken , or line written , by either of the defendants , in Great Britain or Ireland , from March 1850 to the same period 1851 , is to be ' set in a note hook , conned by rote , and cast into their teeth . ' Yos ' tho time is upwards of twelvemonths , and tho scene of the olfence is anywhere—from John O'Groats to tho Lands End , or from tho Giant ' s Causeway to Capo Clear . Tbe common law of England has been pronounced to bo ' the perfection reason , ' and tho law of conspiracy is surely one of its most finished specimens . William Peel , Sec .
