      rented to apart of the hustings occupied by ipor-SJefMr Denison ' s supporters . ) After speaking «* L t the ? Church Endowment BUI , ' ana landing thTbenefitsof '& « TndV Mr Bright called on the electors before next Thursday to use their ntmost exertions in favour of their candiiate ( Sir C . Eardlej ) . York and Lancaster , with their millions of population , their . industry , and their intelligence , had -worked ogether before now , having the help of the liberals in every part of the country . There were stffl great things in store for them ; great principles to be upheld , and great victories to be obtainedgreater spolence and content remained to be spread met the vast extent of this great empire . He came forward to support Sir C . Eardley because he believed Km honest and intelligent . ( Cheers and inter rnption . ) .. .

      .... , , _ Mr E . Denisok next presented himself , and was received with great cheering , ¦ which was met with cries of disapprobation from the opposite party . After some time he proceeded , amidst conflicting shouts , to state , that with respect to Free Trade , he never yet when in Parliament opposed any proposition in furtherance of the reduction of duties . But he suspected that there were many persons in this kingdom who did not think that they had got all those advantages which had been predicted from the application of the principles of Free Trade . ( Hear . ) The manufacturers of Bradford and Manchester called ont for Free Trade in com because the Com Law made * ages high . ( Cheers and hisses . ) The

      Com Law had been abandoned , and he said now deal out equil justice to all . ( Cheers . ) He said to the manufacturers , ' Ton have got the abolition of protection as regards the agriculturists , now give up in your torn all duties which protect your manufacturesjand prevent us dealing with foreign mtnuftc * turers . ' ( Great applause . ) They had no Radicals and Chartists in the agricultural districts . Those parties were all fostered in the hotbeds of seditionin the manufacturing towns . There they were told that the ballot , universal suffrage , and the voluntary system , would be a great means of relieving them from oppression , and that if those measures were carried , they would Uve in a land of milk and honey . He did not believe it . ( Hear , hear . ) Man

      was doomed to labour . Some might be rich , bat many must be poor , and the labouring classes were the foundation of society . They were the worldns ; bees of the hive , and he advised them that while they took what part of the honey of their own construction they could get , still to work hard in indnstry , and not to be deluded by the gewgaws of Political Economy , and not to be blinded by the notion that the ballot or universal suffrage would relieve them from that necessity to exertion and labour which was the lot of the great mass of mankind . Mr Denison then 6 tated his views on'Retrenchment' and' State Education . ' and made _ a promise that no temptation should ever induce him to give a vote which should tend to endanger the Constitution in Church and State , ( Loud cheers . )

      An Elector inquired whether Mr Denison , if a measure to which he was opposed were supported by the party with which he coincided , would adopt the measure , or vote in respect to it on principle ? Mr Denison replied , that principle would be his guide . ( Cheers . ) The Elector then inquired why Mr Denison had abandoned his colour and his principle at the present election ? Mr Denisov denied that he had abandoned his principle , and said he had nothing to do with the colour . If hon . gentlemen who had Tieen in the habit of opposing him formerly now thought proper to vote for him . he should thank them , and think they did right . He wonld even thank the present querist if he should vote for him . ( 'Hear , hear , ' and laughter . ) In answer to another question ,

      Mr Denison said he would not support a measure far the emancipation of the Jews . Mr Ktdd then came forward and was received Kith the most enthusiastic applause . When silence was obtained , he said—Electors and non-electors of the West Biding of Yorkshire : It has never been my lot to hear better sentiments , than some of those I have just heard . Sir Cuffing Eardley has sent yon an address clothed in the classical diction of refined language , and rich in the sublimity and philosophy of Christianity . It contains the golden sentiment , ? Whatsoever you would that men should do unto yon . do ye even so unto them , for this i * the law and the prophets . ' By this standard , then ,

      will I judge the honourable baronet . Why does this professing Christian refuse to grant to his neighbours the privileges and rights he claims for himself ? The words of the text are unmistakeable and expressive ' This is thelaw ; ' then > hy not establish it ? Is it the law of God given for the guidance of manihe standard of perfection , we are to endeavour to approach as nearly as frail hnmanity can approximate to divine perfection ? Does the honourable baronet believe these words to be the law of God ? Then why is he false to the object of his adoration—can he be in the same breath false to God and true to man , or can he be false to man and true to God ? Oh gentlemen ! bowmen—rain , ambitious men—will

      quote holy writ for the moat infamous of purposeshow they will interpret and deceive under the guise of religioa . Beware of them , I beseech you' They are wolves in sheep ' s clothing . ' They assume the cloak of virtue as the covering for vicetheir professions are false—their prayere a mockerytheir aspirations an insnlt-their assumed devotion a blasphemy , and will yon dare to elect such men to represent you in parliament ? Mr DenUon , on the other hand , has—for once in Mb life—attempted to be poetical and eloquent , and he assures you , that ihe Radicals and Chartists have promised to lead tteir followers into a land 'flowing with milk and honey ; and , he continued 1 do not believe this : nan u doomed to labour ; some aust be rich and many must he poor . What means this learned genteman ? Is the term man universal ? if so , are not

      all men doomed to labour-and if the many labour they perform their part of Nature ' s contract-and if the few do not labour , but live consuming : in wanton extravagance and idleness the produce of the many , they violate Nature's contract—they plunder , pilfer , ana destroy . The Chartists offer their Mowers no land of milk and honey ; ' they say man is related to the material universe—as the great worker and regenerator , for him the earth is filled with minerals , * ? , ¦* *** *«» , and it u his right and duty to wield the bounties of Nature by his intelligence , and to earn bis bread by the sweat of Us brow . itas is no new doctrine—the dream of no enthusiast —tne . ravings of no fanatic . It is afnndamental truism , snbscnbea to Ijyheath en and Christian philosophers , and , hke all other great truths , it is imprinted in the cvery-diy actions - of men—that in England the few are rich and many are poor , is a sad and omin .

      ous truth . If k were not so , you would have been spared the trouble of listening tothe speeches of both parties , forwithout the influence of wealth both gentlemen would be unnoticed and unknowns neither their genius nor learning would distinguish them from the common herd of men , and strip them of their propertied dignity , and they stand before you fallen , naked , and dependent things . Mr Denison is avowedly the apologist and defender otthe land owners of England . They are his clients , and lieu to be specially retained for their defence . Let me remind him of their position mow and their position some thirty years back . The rental of land in 1

England ' s landlords have ousted her yeomanry from their homesteads-her

      cottagers from their hearths-and , after having vio . wed every tie that could unite labour in alleriance ™ property , they spoke of the landlord interest as «» e great interest ' of the empire , and Mr Denison is here as their csrecial representative . The Ton ; s had governed . Theirs was the government in the « eigns of George III . and George IV ., and Eaeland nad now a recollection of the days of Sidmonth and Castjerflagb . We cannot forget the Tory legacy of

      Trar , which has left wa"debt in perpetuity , burthening at the same moment oar industrial powers of production , and our commercial enterprise . The Tories hare governed , and theirs was the government of brute power and thumb-screw persecution . Mr Denison assures you that York Minster will tumble todecay , and St Paul ' s Cathedral be ground to dust if you give not to him your unqualified support . One would fancy that he was the great stir of the Church , and that broad pillars , massive arches , and Gothic window , could not exist provided you refused to support his pet mammoth monopoly . Do not tremble , I beg of yon , at this Hie threat . The Church is a grave for reason , and a

      sepulchre for spiritual life , if she administer not to the wants of the age , and be not supported by the suffrages of the people . If returned to Parliament- ^ laHg b ) -he liked lhafc laugh , it shook the bile off the stomach of Toryism , and relaxed the muscles of long-faced hypocrisyd aughter)—he should feel it his duty to move for the total abolition of the New Poor Law , and the establishment of the principle of the 43 rd of Eli * zabeth . Lord Brougham ' s name had been mentioned with eulogy . His lordship had , years ago , earned for himself the character of England ' s most erratic and eloquent babbler , and it would be a prodigy in politics provided the same

      constituency could elect the sceptical barrister and the pious missionary . His lordship and his coadjutors had promised that the New Poor Law would save England from ruin , cultivate self-reliance among her peasantry , abolish poor-rates , 2 increase the value of property , and banish vagrancy from her shores . The experiment had been tried at the cost of £ 100 . 000 , 000 sterling . Sixteen years have proved it to be a cestly and most undoubted failure . We have this hour in England . ' one million and a half of ablebodied unemployed peon ™ hich may be said to represent some three or four millions of paupers ; our streets and gaols are filled with vagrants—property is decreasing in value , and the rate-paveis

      were doing their best to pinch and starve them to save their own incomes —( Cries of No . ) No ! no ! you cry . He called the silent but fearful annals of the past to witness . —Let St Pancras and Andover speak . ( C ies of'Hear , hear ' . ) If each parish had the whole and sole management of their own affairs they would devise some means for the profitable employment of the poor . ( Cries of 4 Hear , hear , ' and' No , n < V ) Remember , you negative gentlemen , that I am in Yorkshire , sw rounded by many gentlemen who know Huddenfield . —In 1842 , a small eum of money was advanced by the London Relief Committee , for the support of a few necessitous families . The committee of management

      rented a barren piece of ground named Farnly Tyas , on which they employed the men they otherwise must have maintained in idleness . The experiment was moityuccessful , and yielded an actual though not a great surplus . In Sheffield , not eight months ago , the paupers were grinding corn with handmills in the workhouse—and they became riotous and unmanageable ; they had since been employed in cultivating the land ; and I speak on the authority of MrOverend , who I believe is Chairmin of the Board of Guardians , and declare that the-results have own gratifying—mora ' ly , physically and financially . Is this correct , gentlemen of Sheffield and Huddersndd ?( Cries of'Hear , hear /) Never attain then

      affirm that the poor must starve , whilst you have an acre of uncultivated or half-cultivated land in the realir-: Whether the Church should govern or the Chapel should rule , was of importance , but a much more important question was , how could the people be most profitably employed ? ( hear , hear . ) He would now come to the question of Free Trade , referred to by bothcandidates , andhewas the more pleased to do to in the hearing of some of the leaders of the Free Trade party . He did not accuse those gentlemen of insincerity , they may have been honest in their intentions—and we are now in a position to fairly judge of their principles and policy . The advocates of the measure promised that good trade and

      employmeat of the people wonld be its results . The first six months of this year , according to the returns of the Board of Trade , showed a decrease in the official value ot our exports amounting to £ 5 , 286 , 969 sterling . Have our workmen yet had the hi gh wages and plenty to do—the specious promises of the professed followers of the Smiths and Says ? Where , I ask , are the triumphs of the measure ? "Where are its benefits ? Look to this island—for whose wealth the winds of Heaven seem to blow—covered as she is with the mantle of agriculture , and studded with the gems of arts and manufacture , and you everywhere beholdjadigence in rags , and patience in desspair ; the shops without a customer—the merchants

      withoutaledger—the Exchange deserted—the Gazette crowcled , and the people without food . These things exist—you see them before you , and your vaunted commercial policy affords no relief . A moment ' s reflection would prove that . Free Trade could in no way improve the condition of our people . A peace of upwards of thirty years had changed the internal industry of every civilised nation . Belgium , France , and America were no longer onr customers , but our rivals ; the improvements of Arkwright , Hargreates , and Watts belonged to others ; genius cannot be monopolised , its influence is universal . America , possessing an inexhaustible land and water power , her bowels rich in mineral resources , and her navy

      commanding justice in all national treaties , was destined to ruin us in the race of international competition . America competing against England-England against America . Bri ght against Fielden—Fielden against Bri ght . The results were cheap goods , low wages , and excessive labour , followed in turn b y protracted idleness . I challenge the Free Traders to point me to a single instance in the history of the world , in which a nation continued to be great , depending upon foreign demand for the employment of her people . Such an illustration is nowhere to be found . Lord Bacon—with ihe correctness of a great thinker—has prognosticated the decay of all states chiefly depending on trada for

      their success , and England will prove no exception to the rule . I have read of nations being ruined by war and conquest ; other states have decayed hecause of sloth and gold ; but it has been reserved for England to ruin herself—to become impoverished by spoils , and conquered by her successes . She has fought the fight of Europe ; she has subsidised all its dependencies ; she has bombarded every refractory empire ; she has looked for markets east , west , north , and south ; she has been successful ; her manufacturers have bought all the coinable blood of her women , and children ; and here she is a bloated giant , shivering in a tempest , afraid of her shadow , and sinking into de «

      cay . Free Trade exists as a monument of commercial and legislative ignorance and imbecility . The remedy for England was to be found in employing her labourers on her waste and uncultivated lands , encouraging her home trade , and thereby employing her people , andincreasing their means of subsistence . Give up , then , and for ever , your newbora theories of « Let everything alone , which deserve no other name than philosophic barbarity . Your fundamental doctrine of lainez fain is an end of all law , order , and government , and to reduce it to practice is to apply the necessities of savagism to civilisation , and must for ever prove a fauure . ( Cries of ' Time' from the Liberals . ) This l ^ TtT *™ oftbO 8 e times when Englishmen

      . , speak boldly , in defiance of Whig Gagging acts . PaSS % l VOteS Of * rofeKin S « TlS one of those fames when Mammon-worshipping hy . pocruyiB unmasked , and stands exposed « I its hideous deformity-a monster of inhuman shape . Shout time , ' ye miserable drivellers and sunken 8 jco phants . This is my time ; and take warning and remember there is another time coming , when Labour will demand a recognition of its ri ghts in spite of all of you . It has been this day made a matter of rejoicing , that we have had peace in England , amidst the crumbling of thrones and the fall of dynasties . Such a peace is to be feared . Our peasantry are cursing at their hearths , in the hopelessness of despair . And how long may this dreadful

      suspicion remain to slumber ? You every day fear a reprisal , an emeute , a conspiracy , or a conflagra * tion . You can ha » e no security of life , peace , or property , if the people be not fed and employed . Hunger is the spreading root of all convulsive revolutions . Oh God ! it is horrible to contemplate . Already the poor are pale from hunger—the rich from fear . (' No , no , ' from the Tories . ) Nalthen what meant all the display on the 10 th of April ? No!—then why increase the police force ? !—then wh

      No y employ spies to entrap and betray the starviag and unwary ? No !—then why so many special constables ? ( A voice from the Tories : 'To put down mischievous persons like you . ' ) He thanked his . Tory friend for the compliment . Can a young * man , then , shake your edifice ? Must not this prove that mischievous politicians are aware of their weakness .

      should tkey ? They are party fictionisti , tnd 8 Ot statesman . Already ire nave given her landlords many millions sterling . It is a waste , and cannot be repeated . I should propose a , tax . on her uncultivated and bog lands ; the effect would be the raising of a fund to maintain the unemployed . ^ If the landlords preferred cultivating the lands to paying the tax , the idle men would find work , and eleemosynary relief would be unnecessary . ( The Tories : The lands are not worth cultivating . ' ) What ! the lands not worth cultivating ? The late Mr Bainei , in a letter to Mr Poulett Scrone . had Air flames , in a letter to Mr Poulett Scrapehad

      , said , there were nearly 4 , 000 , 000 acres of bog lands which might be cultivated at an expense of £ 10 per acre and yield a profit of eight per cent .- This was the opinion of a gentleman who had reclaimed 500 acres af Chatmoss , laying between Manchester and Liverpool . This was the opinion of a practical man . These gentlemen on the hustings were not practical agriculturists , they were merely good-natured , fox . hunting , five * bottle politicians . ( Laughter . ) It was no fault of the Irish peasantry that they were a burden to England . Do them justice , and the men who became industrious settlers in Canada or the

      United States , would not be less industrious in their own green isle . The laws of Primogeniture and Entail were a source of landlord monopoly and ministerial jobbing , and should be forthwith aboj lished . His opinions on the vexed questiona of Religious Endowments and National Education were easily expressed ; he was the opponent of endowments and would vote for National Education , such education to be purely secular . He would now come to the Suffrage . Mr Denison spoke of the wild democracy . Mr Denison I never said so .

      Mr Kydd : Then I am glad I am mistaken . It was tame democracy , then , fwhich certainly , could not be worse than rampant Toryism . (' Hear , cbeers , and laughter . ) Mr Denison was opposed to him in principle , and he thanked him for being an open and manly opponent . Sir Culling Eardley admitted the principle , and was , therefore , in a very different position . The gentleman who seconded Sir Culling ' s nomination assured them that all . par * , ties must bow to public opinion ; then , why not accept of the decision of public opinion , and , at once , support the People ' s Charter . Oh , Sir Culling would progress as far as it waB safe to go—how trimming was this declaration . Who constituted Sir

      Culling the great arbitrator of human intelligencethe thermometer of human progress ? The worthy Baronet admitted the principle , but was not quite prepared for the practice . We are told that Charles James Fox , like many other great and generous men , was in pecuniary difficulties . His secretary , Mr Hare , was equally unfortunate . Fox , who was an exceedingly jocular man , would f . ometimes ask the rapacious Jews whether they w ( re fox or hare hunting this morning—good nature w . 'U win even a money lender . A number of them resolved to come to some definite arrangement with their unfortunate creditor . So , addressing Mr Fox , they said , ' You are exceedingly civil , you always own the debt and admit the principal , now we want you to name the day of payment . ' Fox consulted with

      Hare , and they agreed to name a day . The Jews were in extacies , and said , 'Name your own time , but be punctual . ' ' Well , ' said Fox , « In ? iaethe day of judgment . ' The astonished Jews appealed to him to amend his decision ; he did so , and named the day after the day of judgment . I fear Sir Culling ' s progress , principle , and practice will be real on the same day that Fox pays the Jens , I know that I am your representative , and if you were polled to morrow on ths true principles of the British Constitution I would be elected by an immense majority—would sit in the House of Representatives as your deputy—and my worthy opponents , spite of even the temporary triumph of an hour , would relapse into their native obscurity , ( Cheers . )

      Throughout the proceedings the dense mass , far beyond the reach of the voices of the speakers , kept their grounds and when the show of hands took place , the whole left side of the hustings , and all down Wood Street , as far as the eye could reach , was a dense mass of people . When the show of bands in favour of Sir C . Eardley was called for , the whole of that vast space was one forest of hasds . When the show for Mr Denison was called for , his partisans weretonfined to the right of the hustings , a space as broad as that occupied by the Liberal party , but circumscribed in length by the Music Saloon . On the right side too , the crowd was not nearly so dense as on the left . Within that space Mr Denison had a numerous show of hands , but much less than Sir C . Eardley ' s . The show of hands for Mr Kydd was chiefly in the centre of the meeting and was considerable .

      This is the general statement of the press , although we are assured by impartial spectators , that the hands held up for Mr Kydd , were as two to one compared with Denison ' s . The Chartists were closely wedged in ths centre of the meeting , while the open columns of the opposite parties occupying a larger area , the supporters of Eardley were declared to have the majority , in opposition to the close phalanx in favour of the Chartist candidate . The Under . Sheriff declared his opinion to be , that the show was in favour of SirC . Eardley .

      The Honourable Mr Lascelles demanded a poll on behalf of Mr Denison , which was fixed for TburB . day and Friday ; and thanks having been voted to the Sheriff , the parties left the hustings and the crowd dispersed .

      Friends , —In presenting the above balance sheet of the National Defence and Victim Committee , appointed for the purpose of dispensing your benevolent contributions amongst those worthy of receiving it , while we ^ most cordially thank you for your past liberality , we feel it to be our duty to lay before you our

      position , that you may fairly judge of our ability td carry out the object for which we were formed into a committee . At present we have twenty-five law-made Widows , and sixty Orphans , weekly recipients , dependent on your generous bounty for support in London alone ; and it is with deep regret we add , that through want of funds we have been compelled to reduce their small stipends nearly one-half : and further , when we

      take into account the vast number of victims to Whig misrule in Lancashire , Yorkshire , Scotland , and elsewhere , it is more than probable that , to avoid the gross and brutish insults of the iron-hearted Relieving Officer , and the miseries and horrors of the execrated Union Bastile . claimants for succour and assistance will considerably increase . Thus circumstanced , we appeal to your generous

      sympathies for the means of solacing our distressed friends , under their heavy and cruel privation ; and we trust that it will be responded to with that promptitude which the exigency of the case requires .

      Suicide of a Schoolmistress . —An inquest was held on Monday evening at the Feathers , Temple Street , \ Vhitefriars , before Mr W . Payne , on the body of Maria Garter , aged 29 , a schoolmistress . It appeared in evidence that the deceased kept a dayschool for children , at 43 , Friar Street , Blackfriars Road , and was much respected by her neighbours . On Saturday evening last she left one of her friends , to whom she had paid a visit , and promised to return at night and slfiep with her . From there , however , stewent to an old acquaintance , living at

      Essexwharf , Strand , and getting intoxicated behaved in an extraordinary and unaccountable manner . She ins ' sted upon seeinit a gentleman with whom she was perfectly unacquainted , and with whom she had no business , and because she could not obtain an interview with him , said she would drown herself ; Though the river was within a few feet of her no one took any notice of her threat , and next morning her body was found floating off the Temple-pier .

In the morning , at the usual hour , Bhe went to call him . She received no answer , however , to her repeated knocks , and on entering his room she found him lying on his left side quite dead—Mr Henry Latter , 5 , Melcombe Terrace , surgeon , stated that he h « d attended the deceased since April , during which time he had suffered from disease of the heart , resulting from gout .

      Fires . — On Sunday morning , between six and seven o ' clock , a fire , attended with the destruction of some thousand pounds worth of property , broke out in Little Portland Street , Regent Street . The flames commenced in a range of sheds belonging to Mr Pratt , cabinet-maker and upholsterer , of Bond Street . In the course of a few minutes the whole were in a general blaze . The premises were adjoined by the manufactory of Mr W . AuBtin , lace and fringe maker , and that property was destroyed , and the flames extended rapidly to the private house of Mr Davis . Mr Austin ' s premises had a short time back upwards of £ 1 , 200 , expended upon them in

      improving the working machinery . The damage done is officially reported as follows : —The premises of Mr Pratt , No . 3 , Little Portland Street , burned down . No . 1 in the same street , Mr W . Austin , lace and fringe maker , consumed the whole of the workshops and contents ) dwelling-house partially destroyed . No . 2 in the same street , Mr Davis , private , considerable damage by fire , water , and removal , No . 47 , Mortimer Street , Mr J . P . Shaw , cabinet-maker and upholsterer , back portion of premises slightly damaged and furniture injured by removal . No . 50 in the same street , Mrs Sibley , dressmaker , roof of back premises damaged . The

      cause of the fire has been traced to some lime placed in the sheds , which becoming slaked set the timber on fire . —During Saturday and Sunday , independent of the above fire , the engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company were called out to attend not fewer than ten other outbreaks in various parts of the metropolis . One was at Messrs Allan and Co ' s , the silk mercers and haberdashers , Nos . 69 , 70 , ' and 71 , St Paul ' s Churchyard . The fire ori ginated in the basement floor warehouse , and was occasioned by a moveable gas-burner coming in contact with some boxes filled with artificial flowers and ribbons . The damage done was , owing to the exertions of the inmates , confined to the destruction of several boxes of flowers and ribbons . Another fire took place in one of the cupbaards of the

      Comptroller ' s office . Guildhall . The firemen succeeded in confining the fire to that portion of the premises where it ori g inated . A third fire was at Mr Merick ' s , tailor , 19 , Old Burlington Street , Bond Street . It was caused by a spark from a candle , which set tbe furniture and wearing apparel in the ba ^ k room , ground floor , inflames . A fire occurred iu Neale ' syard , Cross Street , ' Blackfriars Road , belonging to Mr W . Goodman , wheelwright . Hot embers f-ora the forge fell upon some wheels , which w , re des troyed , but no other damage of consequence was done . Late on Sunday evening a fire occurred at 20 , Cumberland Street , Curtain Road , in the occu . pancy of Mr Evans , which did considerable damage .. ' Shortly afterwards considerable alarm was caused in the Whitechapple Road by loud cries of ' Fife , '

      proceeding from the premises of Mr Emery , a linen , draper , No . 62 in the road . The other outbreaks were in Albert Place , Tottenham Court Soad ; Tooloy Street , Southwark ; Lillington Street , Vaux . hall Bridge Road ; and Moor Lane , Cripplegate ; but the damage done at the latter places was Terr trifling . A Prisoner Shot in an Attempt to Escape . —On Friday afternoon , Dec . 8 th , the court at the Surrey Sessions received information that one of the prisoners confined in the Brixton House of Correc tionhad attempted to escape , and in so doing was shot by the governor . It appeared , from what the reporter could glean , that the prisoner had succeeded in climbing the wall , when the governor was ap , prised of it . The latter instantly proceeded to the place , and discovered the prisoner- creeping along the top of the wall . On his approach he threw down a heavy stone , which struck the governor on his left hand , dislocating one of his fingers . The latter was armed with a loaded blunderbuss , which he fired at the man . and shot him in the thi gh , when he was immediately captured . Two of the magistrates pro * ceeded to the House of Correction to investigate the affair .

      Seizure op ak Illicit Distillery . —On Tuesday , Mr D . ColquhouH , supervisor of the Stepney district , and several officers , proceeded to a house called Globe Cottage , ' Globe Road , Stepney . Messrs Vanstone and Chaster went to the back to effect an entrance , whilst Messrs Brown and Colquhoun guarded the front . On the former officers making their way to the back door they found a large dog tied up in a manner that he could reach any one approaching the door , and it required considerable stratagem to keep him from making a noise . The dog was silenced and the window at length reached . On pushing aside a cloth which covered a broken pane , they saw two men attending to a large still that was at work . For some time they were not aware of the presence of the officers , but as soon as they caught sight of them , they immediately rose and started off with lightning speed for the other rooms , followed by Vanstbne and Chaster , and a policeman . In a few minutes one of the men leaped from the back room window on to a kitchen roof , closely pressed to the windows by the three officers . The man was about leaping from the kitchen-roof to adjoining premises , when he caught sight of Mr Thomas , who had now joined the pursuing party in the yard , and , finding there was no chance of escape , ' surrendered at discretion . ' Having secured this man , Mr Thomas went so the front to see if any others had been arrested there , just iq time to see s man get out of the cellar window and run down the street . He was followed by Messrs Thomas and Brown , and after running a great distance with a goed prospect of escape , his career was suddenl y stopped by a dog running between his legs , which brought him with great force to the ground , and he was instantly secured . Two females were also foimd in the house , and were taken into custody . Upon examining the house subsequentl y , they found the still ( as above noticed ) , a quantity of spirits , forty over proof , about two gallons of feints , seventy-two under proof , and the usual apparatus for carrying on the trade of illicit distillation .

      Suicroi e ? 1 Guardiman . —On Wednesday , an inqaeat was held upon the body ef Iiaao Phippg . ae «( j 41 , a private in the 2 ad battalion of tbe Grenadier Guards , who had oat his throat on Tuesday , « t the Military Hospital . Deceased had been twenty . two years in the regiment , and was muoh respected by his comrades . For the last sixteen yean he bad been subject to severe attacks of bronchitis , whioh caused him the most intense agony . The pain whioh he suffered upon these occasions was eo terere as to deprivehimofaHBelf .-control , and be frequently stated that he should prefer death to such suffering . Mr Brown was immediately called in , and he sewed np the wound , but 10 bent was the unfortunate man upon

      self-Jeatruotion that he aotually tore it opan ugain , and bat a large quantity of blood before any remedy could be applied . These faoti baring been deposed to , the jury found a verdiot of Temporary inianity .

      STATE OF TRADE . Manchrsteb , Tuesday . — There ha « been again aa active market ills day . Buyers ef most kinds of goods , especially of clothi , manifest a ready disposition to enter into large arrangements at last week ' s prices . Generally speaking , however , their offers are not accepted . Manufacturers are firmer than ever , and large orders havingbeen given out , and there beinp every prospect of an increasing demand , an advance of price is easily obtained . Shippers are all active , and & considerable number of foreign buyers are in the nwrket , who it is expected have-1 & «? 6 ordera to give out . Stocks were never known to be-60 low , saleable goods being all cleared off ; and as the retailers generally throughout the country have , for a considerable ; time , kept up their stock * as lew as possible , very extensive orders ore confidently ' expected . T he-American news , received by telegraph , by tke Acadia , produced little influence on the market .

      ihb IROH Tradb . — The accounts from Glasgow and particularly from South Wales , are still of a most dispiriting character . Pi g iron is quoted free on board in . the Clyde at 4 Is per ton , without buyers , and a writer ia a Bristol paper , Irom Merthyr , reports that 'the iron trade there is in a very depreised state . The staple xsnufacture Jof this district is selling almost at ruinously low prices , and ntraour ( we hope it will not prove true . ) has it that we are on the eve of another reduction ; ' And again , he says , ' the wo-kmen employed at Plymouth . ir « works received a month ' s notice on the 25 th ult ., that a reduction of ten per cent , would take place in a month . Extraordinary disclosures aho have been made during the week , plainly showing that sales are not only being forced without attention to profit , but , under an unprincipled competition , far below the actual cost of production . While it must be acknowUdged that these statements afford a sufficient cause for dismay , we can , however , congratulate ourselves that at present wo

      unusual stagnation has beei felt in this district-indeed tbe immediate local demand continue 1 fully as brisk as usual at this season of the year ; and as this is the main support of the lesser manufacturers , who would be unable to continue working to stock during a scarcity of orders there has yet been little complaint of want of employment . We should , however , scarcely think that tbe larger bouses are so we ! l supplied with orders , as they are more dependent upon the export trade , and at this time aot only have to contend with the Welsh and Sc / rtt t . valry , but alsa with a v « ry serious falling off of foreign shipments , as compared with the transactions of previous years . The pig iron trade remains in about the same position , with bnt little business dolar , price * belnir represented as so ruinous , that , should the decisions of the manufacturers involve them in a further reduction , the deteriorated value of materials would inevitably seal up again a large moiety of the mineB at present workine , and thus throw a very drngerous portion of thepopulationout of employment .
