After MARKETS. COS." EXCHANGE, LONDON Monday, October 30. The boisterous state of the weather duritii in has prevented ourusual arrrivals of Krain.both from Bek coast and aVoad. At this morning's market of wheat from Essex, and Kent, by land carriage w1? was below the usual average, and dry aarunwp Ca' taken by the millers at an advance ot full is pe-'a, ere this day week, and the cold damp sorts were also on rm more easily than of late. There has also been it business done in Foreign wheat at prices rather those of last week.

The supply of barley is still and but little of real fine quality such waa eaeriv uu this morning at an advance of 2s. per and the nHdp 11 sorts, as well as Foreign, met a better aitle on full a'j en 5 terms. Old malt is now getting scarce, and jrs fast as it comes to hand, and those in immediate are obliged to give a little advance upon recent n-iS! New malt is now making its appeersnee, some 0f -i tender and sweet, but not so stout, nor so Bcud colour as that of last season it however goes oil" at relative value as compared to old. Fine old feed oats rather dearer, but for new the trade is no hetfer. Qu beans are more looked after, but there is no better i maud for new.

In white, maple, and grey peas no tion. General currency a9 under: BMieutPMMicutlon, in which he disclaimed any vindictive feelrog his sons, his object being merely to seek the protection of the law in the enjoymeat of his rights. Mr. Watling, bailiff of the County Court at Eye, proved the issuing of the warrant for restoring possession to Mr. Hunt, and the proceedings thereupon.

1 Mr. Hunt proved receiving poisession, and giving it up to the prosecutor, when the latter, after scuffle, was dispossessed by the defendants. As soon as the prosecutor cried "Help 1" witness ran away, not wishing to have anything further to do with the matter. (Laughter.) William; Pooley, labourer, proved that on the evening of the 1st June, he saw the prosecutor at the door of the bouse in question as if in the actof turning the key in the Joclt. Eiekicl Crowe, upon this, went up and pressed against his father; Absalom Crowe then came up, and pushed the old raan.who cried out for "Help Absalom Crowe then shoved Ezekiel Crowe into the bouse, and followed himself, The, prosecutor went for assistance Upon his return into the house, Ezekiel Crowe took him by the collar and said, Father, you have no business here!" Upon this, Ephraim Crowe, another brother, came up and interceded in behalf of his father when Absalom Crowe took him by the collar and said, If he did not get away, he would, kick him out." It also appeared that Ezekiel Crowe, having thus obtained possession, had kept it ever since.

Mr. Dasent submitted to the Court whether there was any case to go to the Jury against Absalom Crowe The Chairman replied in the affirmative. Mr Dasent then addressed the Jury, stating that whatever disturbance had taken place was against the proceedings' of Hunt, and not against the prosecutor. If Peter Crowe was the prosecutor, why had he 'not been called? Why, 'the feelings and rights of Peter Crowe had nothing to do with the matter. He was, as they saw, a totally in-different person.

They had heard there wbb a mortgage. Who' was in the back-ground It was a esse in which alone Mr. Ransom, the solicitor for the prosecution, was concerned Mr. Ransom's object being to get possession under a bill. Why, only on the previous Saturday Mr.

Peter Crowe, who had shaken them by the hand, had wished to be bail for his sons, but Mr. Ransom refused. Mr. Palmer said his learned friend must be prepared to prove this allegation. Mr.

Dasent concluded by expressing the hope that Peter Crowe was at hand to be examined in behalf of the defendants, for he thought, after hearing all the facts, they would say the defendants were not guilty, and so they would let the Crowes go back to their own nest. (Laughter.) i John Cage, razor-grinder, Woodbridge, said, he knew the house at Brockford, and saw Hunt give up possession to the prosecutor. Ezekiel Crowe called for a chair, and iPeter Crowe appeared to give him possession, and they parted like friends. He saw no quarrel between the father and sons at the door. He had seen Old Crowe and his son Ezekiel that morning at Claydon, chatting and talking together in a friendly manner.

In cross-examination, the witness swore he never heard Old Crowe shout out for Help Mr. Palmer replied in behalf of the prosecution, submitting that the jury must find a verdict for the Crown, though the object of the prosecution was not so much to puniBh the defendants ns to obtain possession of the propcrtv. The Chairman summed up, observing it was most distressing to see a father compelled to prosecute his own sous. The Jury hRd heard the evidence on both sides, which was truly most contradictory, but upon what they had heard they must form their own judgment. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty against both the defendants.

Mr. Palmer said, the prosecutor would not press for punishment, if the defendants would only agree to deliver up The defendants thereupon said they would not deliver up possession, unless paid Jt'39 3s. the sum they had paid as the value of the fixtures. The Chairman said, the judgment of the Court was that the defendants deliver up possession of the premises, and that they enter into their own recognizances in the sum of iQ each, and two sureties each in 10, to keep the peace towards the prosecutor, and all other of Her Majesty's subjects, for the term of one year and to be imprisoned until such sureties were produced. George Bolton, 16, and William Brett, 16, pleaded guilty of having stolen five pecks of oats, the property of Messrs.

Byles and Stowmarket: Bolton, five weeks impri-sonment, and once privately whipped Brett, three weeks imprisonment both to be kept to hard labour. Gearae Mayheu), 35, convicted of having stolen a pair of shoes, the property of Orford Mayhew: seven days imprisonment. The business terminated at six o'clock. Thh Ex-Rovai, FAJhw? at Phawob; On Saturday her Majesty and his RoyaS Highness Prince Albert went to Clarerabnt from Windsor Castle to viiit the es-Kshg Louis Philippe and his amiable consort, the Queen of the Belgians, and the members hi the ex-Royal family now assembled at that Royal residence. The family-circle comprises the Duke and Duchess dc Nemoiirs, the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, and the Prince and Princess de Joinville, and their youthful children.

The visit of the Queen and Prince Albert was of the most private character, the maids of honour to the Queen and the Usual equeiries alone accompanying her Majesty. On the Royal carriage reaching the entrance of the mansion, Louis Philippe, the Duke de Nemours, the Queen of the Belgians, and the several members of the exiled family came forth to receive her Majesty and her Royal Consort; Her Majesty and Prince Albert remained nearly three hours, and partook of luncheon, while, at Claremont. The Queen of the Belgians shortly returns to Brussels. The health of the ex-Queen of France is delicate, but Louis Philippe and all the members of his family are enjoying uninterrupted health, and apparently good spirits, considering their fallen state. Visit of the Garde Nationale to the Hon.

Artillery Company. On Thursday evening nearly 100 of the Garde Nationaleof Paris.including the.commandant, sergeant-major, numerous staff and other officers, paid a visit to the Artillery Company, at their depOt in Finsbury. Their intention not being generally known, only about 90 of the corps were under arms, but as cordial ft reception was given to the strangersas circumstances would odmit of; The manual and platoon exercises were first, performed, and observed with much interest. The Garde were then conducted by Major Barnard and the ofiScers of the corps through the different apartments, and the guns, clothing lockers, small armoury, minutely inspected. As they passed down the grand staircase the bond played the Marseillaise Hymn" and God save the Queen," which wasreccived by the Garde with loud cheers.

Fencing, single-sticks, and sabre play were then introduced, and very beautiful dis-plays of science exhibited by one of the French officers and Mr. Chapman, M. Leon Guillmaud and Mr. Chapman, Mr. Robinson and Sergeant Munday or the 1st Life Guards, A strong desire having been expressed by the strangers to see the English box," several bouts of sparring were fought by two of the corps.

A brilliant and novel spectacle was presented by the ring being formed of lancers, chasseurs, voltigeurs, artillerymen, and grenadiers, mingled with the English in their scarlet The movements of the combatants were watched with eager curiosity, and the French seemed much gratified. Athalir past 9 the visitors sat down to supper with the corps, and the party did not break up till past midnight. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which the toasts of La Reine d'Angleterre," France and England, The Gentlemen of the Garde Nationale," and others of a simdar character, were received and the Commandantexpressea in glpwing terms the gratification he and his comrades had derived from the unexpected kindness and hospitality with which they had been received by their English brethren in arms. Model Workmen's Dwellings. A building is now beinft erected in Glasgow for Mr.

James Lumsden, from the drawings and under the direction of Mr. Jon. Wylsojl, architect, by way. of attempt at some improvement tn the construction of dwellings for the industrious classes. It consists of four storeys, and contains in all 31 dwellings.

The houses on each floOr are ranged along a wide central passage, which communicates with the common staircase, and is lighted by a window at each end. The houses are arranged with the view to giving to their one main apartment the utmost value, by obviating as'much as possible the necessity for performing any cleansing operations 'within it, ana forming the bed-closets opening out of the same, so that there is no occasion for th occupants creating disorder by strewing their clothes about the room. The bed bottoms are fixtures, and of rod-iron filled in with hooping, to prevent' the propagation Of insects, as well as the loss which is so great a grievance to the proprietors of small houses, from the use of the sparred bed-bottoms for firewood. Each dwelling has also a scullery opening out of the main apartment, and containing a dresser, sink, coal box, and press; and likewise a small well. aired larder in the outside wall a kitchen grate, with oven and boiler; an ash-box with cinder-sieve in the hearth, which is of cast iron, and includes a fenderthe latter being cast with it and, opening from the small entrance lobby, is a water-closet, with apparatus of Bim-pie and economical construction, with, in one corner of it, a trap covering a shoot into a dust-shaft, through which all dry rubbish is conveyed to a cellar in the basement.

Water is to be laid on in the scullery; and a jet of gas, for certain hours, in the main apartment, ns well as in the central or common passages and staircaseB. The ventilation of the, houses is provided for by a louvred opening in tiie top of each window, and of the central passages by a few feet of the floor at either end being omitted thus permitting a free upward circulation to the roof, where there will be large louvred outlets. There is a wash-house outside, on the ground -storey, with all necessary appurtenances, including Robinson rotary drying machine, which will be common to all the tenants in due succession. The rent, which is looked for as sufficient to meet the views of the well-intentioned and energetic founder of this establishment, is 6. per annum a small sum, as compared with the advantages which it offers to the labouring man.

The Builder. Employment of the Poor. The Street Orderlies" in the employ of the National Philanthropise Association, who are engaged in cleansing certain streets in the parishes of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. Anne, Soho, and St.

James, were a few days since inspected by Mr. Mayne, commissioner of police. The men, 48 in number, were drawn up in a line, in Ham-yard, Great Windmiil-strect, St. James's, and looked exceedingly well in their blue blouses and leathern hats. The Commissioner, who appeared to take great interest in the proceedin very closely inquired into the mode of life or occupation of the poor fellows previous to their being engaged by the association, and expressed his pleasure at hearing from the inspector of the association, that some were taken frOm the different workhouses, while others were selected from the great mass of destitute persons wandering about London.

Mr. Mayne then inspected the streets operated on, arid the contrast between them and those cleansed by the ordinary scavenger was very marked. The operations are supported by voluntary contributions, the funds of the association are reported to be at a very low Anglo-Saxon of the most curious and interesting of the many discoveries which modern research has made in this department of our national antiquities was communicated on Friday evening to a meeting of the British Archaeological Association, by Mr. Thomas Batemnn, of Yalgrave.

It appeared also that the prisoner had tjfeen gambling and spending his money very freely with various parties, and that when he was searched, instead of producing the sum of but 2 9s. 8d. was found in his pockets. When taken before the Magistrates, the prisoner said, He would make the money all right when life got home." At this stage of tlie case, the Chairman said, there was no evidence of the prisoner's having refused to pavtae money to his master.

Suspicious cirounistanccshad Men proved, but the evidence must be carried further to support the charge of. embezzlement. Mr. Maule remarked, that the prisoner had not return-, ed to his master's at the proper time on the day question. The Chairman said, that might be true, but there was no proof that the prisoner had ran away with tlie money, though lie acted under very suspicious circumstances.

In further support of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Maule then called Corporal EdWard Charles Middleditch, of the Coldstream Guards, who said he was at Finningham fair on the 5th The ptisonerwai there too, on the bowling, green, betting and with other people, during which he put five-nhiliing pieces, which' frere, lost and spetit in He finally enlisted in the Coldstream Guards.

Ckarles Sadd, alias Misson, 26, an ill-looking fellow, was charged with having stolen from the person Of George Bennett, an India silk handkerchief, Mr. Maub appeared for the prosecution.

The prosecutor was a labourer. He was standing iu Stradbroke Street, at 7 o'clock, on the night of the 2nd. October last, during the holding of the fair, watching the progress of a game, when he felt, a "jerking" at his: pocket. Upon turning ronhdj he sawthe prisoner hang Xouuira pocnet, anaxne handkerchief passed to another The prisoner instantly apprehended, when he made quite a laugh of. the matter, saying that the handkerchief had been passed on." The piisoner denied the charge, stating, however, that he had no witnesses to call to character, though last week he had "two or three gentlemen in.

attendaiice adding, that his place of residence was Diss his pecupa-. con- conviction took place in 1843, and the Court was willing to lum another chance, the prisoner was sentenced to three months hard labour, and to be once privately whipped. CLOVER STEALING AT 11ADINGIIAM. Scogings, 47, was charged with having, on the 29th August Inst, stolen a bundle of clover, the property of Mr. Thomas Ashford, of Badingham.

The prosecutor is a farmer. On the 25th August, the clover was lying cut in a field. The prisoner lived about 30 or 40yards from the gate. On the 29th August, about 9 at uigh't, as Policeman Loughlin was on the lookout from the mill-yard, he saw the prisoner in field after passing over one or two rods, the prisoner took up an armful of clover; and went tbwards the gate lending into the high road, tpughlin took him, into custody, uoon which the prisoner said he had taken the clover for his pony, which had. been out all day, but begged to be allowed to put it back.

The prisoner was then conveyed to the prosecutor's house, when he begged of the prosecutor to let him This, bow-ever, the prosecutor refused to do, on the ground that ho suspected he had been before robbed of clover. Prisoner Did you not give me leave to mow some grass Proseeutor Yes, on the 18th July, six weeks before, in order to make room for some manure, Prisoner: You gave me leave to get some too from another field. The Chairman From your own account Mr. Ashford appears to have been very kind; but what you now state is no answer to the present Prisoner I took an arm-fall, and thought I was doing no harm. The Policeman would not let me put it back, and instead of letting me go home he took me to the Station-house i i The Chairman Of course, he did no more than his duty he says he caught you in the act of taking clover, and had he let you go again he would have heed dismissed from the force.

The prisoner called the but the latter declined giving evidence to character. Mr. William Pooley, farmer, Badingham, however, was called and stated that he had never known any thing against the prisoner's honesty before. Guilty after remarking upon the ingratitude shown to the prosecutor, the prisoner was seiitenced'to 10 days solitary imprisonment a certificate to character having been handed up in the prisoner's behalf, by the churchwardens, overseers, other respectable inhabitants of Badingham. HOUSEBREAKING AT EAST BMlGHOLT.

Charles Ware, 22, described as a hostler from London, was charged with having broken and entered the house of John Ablitt, of East Bergholt, and stolen-seven silver teaspoons, a pair of boots, and other articles, Mr. Dasent appeared for the prosecution. The prosecutor, who is a farming man, on the morning of the ltith of Aug. last, about 7 o'clock, with his family left his house to go to work, locking the doors and lenving all safe. ih)on his return at half-nast one.

he discovered i that a pane of glass had been removed from the window of the keening room, whereby the casement had been opened and an entrance effected. Upon procuring the key of the door from the place of its concealment in the garden, he made a minute inspection, when he and his wife discovered that a hutch had been opened iu he chamber, and from this and other places, seven silver teaspoons, a pair of boots, a pair of trbwsers, a pair of stockings, a gold wedding ring, two brooches, some bread, glass beads, and other urticles had been stolen; la, order to connect the prisoner with the robbery.it wes'slfown by the evidence of Hannah Curtis, who lived about a quarter of a mile from where the robbery had been effected, that about 12 o'clock on the day in question; tha brisotier was seen passing along the road in a direction "leWing from the prosecutor's house. He was walking 'vety fast, was very much hurried and flurried," aoptared'afcif he was going to cross the path to speak, and, had a large bundle in his possession. He seemed as if going to Beutley station. The next trace of, the prisoner was Colchester.

On the following morning, the about ten o'clock, he called at the shop of Mr.Bedwell, pawnbroker, in that town. Here, to the assistant, Mr. George Ker-ridge, the prisoner presented himself, saying, Do you want any old silver The answer was, Sometimes, let rae look at it," and the prisoner produced from his waistcoat pocket two silver spoons. Mr. Kerridge then asked the prisoner how he came by the property.

The I reply was that he had "taken it in a deal at Ipswich." "In whnt street?" asked Mr. Kerridge. The prisoner replica, "iNo, it was not at ipswicn, out just, out ot the town at Dedham The prisoner was again asked 'Where, at Dedham The reply was, No, hot; atT)edham, but at Stratford." Mr. Kerridge then informed the prisoner that he thought he had not come by the. property in an honest manner, and he was accordingly handed over into the custody of a policeman.

The property stolen was sa-tisl'actorily identified by the prosecutor and his wife. The prisoner said, he had no witnesses to call to character, nor had he anything to say in defence, adding that he came from Wingfield, in Berkshire. The Chairman having summed up, the Jury found a verdict of guilty to be transported for seven years. CHAllOE OF STEALING FROM A VESSEL AT CHELMONDISTOSr. James Strang, 27, was charged with having stolen a pair of boots, the property of Mr.

Thomas Smith. Mr. Palmer appeared for the prosecution Mr. Dasent1 defended the prisoner. The proseeutor is the owner and master of the smack Rubv." which, on the 23rd Ki-ntpmhsr lie toft nr.

On the 27th thei lock was discovered broken, and a straw bed, the amuc uuuitkcbs, uuu yrupurty, appeared, nau oeen stolen. At this stage of the case, Mr. Dasent objected to the indictment, on tne grouna tnat tne prisoner was charged with stealing from a ship whereas the Ruby" was admitted to be a "smack." Mr.

Palmer, contra, submitted that as he sought toi convict ot larceny at common iaw, ana not ot robbery under the statute, the objection taken was invalid.

The Chairman summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

ILLEGALLY TAKING POSSESSION OK PROPERTY AT BROCKFORD. Esekiel Crowe, 24, and Absalom Crowe, 31, were charged; with having forcibly taken possession of certain property at Brockford. Mr.Palmer conducted the case for the prosecution MvJ Dasent appeared for the defendants. According to the statement made in behalf of the prosecution, it appeared that the prosecutor was more than 70. years of age the defendants were his sons, In the yearl 1814 the prosecutor let some property, consisting of a beer; house and a few acres of land, at a brewer at Scole, named Levi Hunt.

The defendant Ecekiel Crowe, became Hunt's Tinder-tenant. The rental of the; property was 35 per annum, a considerable sum to the prosecutor, as after paying the interest of the mortgage' he had sufficient left to support him in his old age. The tenancy of Mr. Hunt continued to April, 1848, when he found it necessary to adopt measures for determining the tenancy of Ezekiel Crowe, but the latter refused to give up. possession.

The consequence, was, that Mr. Hunt was obliged to institute a suit against Ezekiel Crowe in the County Court, at Eye. The cobc came on for when the learned Judge, Mr, made a decree that the possession of the property be delivered up to Mr. Hunt within ten days, and a warrant was issued to enforce the decision. On the 1st June Mr.

Watlihg, the bailiff of the County Court, took possession of the property in behalf of Hunt after which, Hunt gave 'possession of the house to the prosecutor. This having been accomplished, the prosecutor, whilst in the act of locking the door and preparing to leave, the premises quietly, was accosted by Ezekiel Crowe, who went up to the prosecutor, seized him by the collar, pushed his hand from the door, and insisted upon having possession. The other defendant, Absalom! Crowe, came up at the time, and by puihingand jostlingj against his father, succeeded, with the other defendant, in effectually driving the prosecutor away old mart called out for Help but though a greaemsny persons witnessed the occurrence. no one thought proper to interfere.

BDMUKD's, Tuesday, Oct. 24. 1NCRKASS OF THB CONSTABULARY yOR'CB. The of the Pracb having read the notice of eight Justices, of their intention to propose that the number of constables first appointed be increased, The Rev. William Mayo, after-alluding to complaints of the inefficiency of the police, said, he was informed by the Chief Constable that in some districts there were 9 parishes to a policeman, and that cacli policeman had to superintend 12 sqimrc miles.

He would then leave it to the decision of any person whether it was possible for any man to do his dutr efficiently in such an area ith respect to the expen'ces which must necessarily be consider, ed, what he proposed was, to add to the present force 20 men. The present number of men was 48. The 20 men would cost, he was informed, 215 per quarts The Rev. S. H.

Albkrson: That is los.per week, without 'clothing. The clothing and carts will make the sum much larger. The Rev. W. Mayo said that his figures had been obtained from the Chief Constable.

One farthing rate would raise 330 18s.9d., consequently they wanted much less than a farthing rate per quarter, as only 215 was required. The Chairman said a question had been asked, which perhaps it would be better now to a farthing rate would include the clothing Colonel Eyiius said it would. The men would be fourth class men. The Rev. S.

H. Aldbuson That is a class which we have tried, but found it would not answer, and therefore wc rejected it The Rev. W. Mayd would submit that the Chief Constable was the best judge of the matter which class ot men was best suited to him. Such was the proposition he had to make and as there was no inconsistency in those gen-tlemen who had heretofore voted against raising the force in the first instance, now voting for ou increase of the force, under the idea that they would be able to make it efficient, he begged therefore to propose that the Rural Police of the Western Division of the county of Suffolk bo increased 20 men of the fourth class.

G. Gatakeb, seconded the proposition. His Grace the Duke of Gbaiton was sorry to be obliged to oppose the proposal of an addition to the police, but he really could not see the least necessity for the increase. Crime had not increased and as for ever making police force satisfactory to everybody, and equal to the wants of the countv, it was perfectly impossible. He thought none of the ratepayers had required this and all the ratepayers had complained generally of the expencc therefore he did not see the least necessity for increasing the force.

But he was sorry to say there was another and a serious objection which had weighed with him very much, and which he regretted to have to record it was dissatisfaction with, he would not say the conduct, he knew not what to term it of their Chief Constable. He did not think he gave sufficient time to his duties. He heard of his amusing himself in shooting about the country and he thought if the ounty paid Col. Eyres a high salary for his services his time ought to be entirely devoted to the services he had undertaken. It might he argued that the force worked well.

That might, or it might not be but all he could sav was that ho oi gave every one a natural impression that the force did not work well, or that it might work better if the Chief Constable paid more attention to it; and it gave to those who were dissatisfied more dissatisfaction, when they knew that the Chief Constable was employed in amusing himself instead rf giving up his time to the public. The Rev. S. H. Aldkrson said thattheexpencesofthe police were not accurately stated, for he found that in the last year 3967.

was the return made by the Chief Constable. That did not include a great many cxpences, but merely that part of the exnence which passed through the Chief Constable's hands. They would find, therefore, a considerable sum more expended belore they came to the end of the account. That sum was within a few shillings of threepence on the rental. Then there was a large Bum immediately required for the currying on of the buildings, and paying the interest and part of the principal, which would go on for many years.

They would therefore have, without any question, between 4000. and 6000. spent every year to carry on the police as it now was. He remembered very well when the police was first instituted, and had been instituted a year or two, that great complaints were made that it cost -1400. a year it was then said that ihe thing must not go on.

When the new Chief Constable was appointed, he furnished a scale which reduced the cxpences to 3500., and it was said they might carry on the police in a new wav, and yet save 1000. by taking a different scale. That would be 900. reduction but adding the erection of buildings and other things, the sum would be brought up to that which the ratepayers had before complained they could not bear. The question was, whether it was worth the expence As to the complaints of the police not being seen, he would suy that he never wished to see a constable at nil if he could trust in the Chisf Constable, and hud faith in the superintendents that they would manage properly.andthat the men would be in their proper places, and be ready to act at the time when they were required but if he" saw them walking about in their uniforms through the parishes, the thieves saw them also, and could watch the police just as the police could watch them.

What was wanted was secret police, not an open one. It appeared to be the only argument in favour of the increase that the police were not now seen. The proposed increase would be at the reduced pay of 15s. a week. They knew they had never yet been able tp bav good and proper men at such a price.

They wanted iiien whom they would be able to trust and it was 'not every one who st as willing to come into the force that they should put into a place of trust like that. The Magistrates wanted to trust them, and therefore they must not underpay them. With this view they had on a former occasion raised the pay. If they had men at 15s. a week, the next Session those who proposed this would ask for an increase of pay for them having got the point of the wedge in thev "would drive it up.

They must all be prepared for 1000. or 1200. a year being the increased ex-pence the force, if thev voted for Mr. Mayd's motion. II Wilson, said if that Court had adopted for some years the Rural Police, and had consented to a tax on the rental of the Division of three farthings in the pound for the protection of individuals and of property, he thought the best economy they could practice was not to grudge for that object the additional impost of one farthing in the pound it appeared to hiin that it would be sinking the ship for a pennyworth of tHr.

The'Hon. and Rev. A. Piui'i's did not think that nn addition of 20 men would be sufficient to satisfy those who wished to see the policeman often walking about the parishes, as seemed to be required. He should wish 10 guard against its being implied that he agreed with the noble person with whom he wasjcomiected in his censure on the Chief Constable.

He himself would offer no opinion on the subject; but as far as his own neighbourhood was concerned, he found there had always been every attention paid to the suggestions of the Magistrates and also of the Hate-payers and where there had been any necessity for an increased force, that force had been forthcoming as 'nr as wus necessary. He offered no opinion one way or the other on the conduct of the Chief Constable alluded to oo the present occasion. .1. P. Etwiis, said the Magistrates had tried the force upon the small principle, but it had not proved sufficient.

He trusted that they would grant the proposed increase, and so improve the force, or abandon it altogether. The Rev. N. W. IIali.warji certainly wished not to give a silent vote on this occasion, having seen the very excellent effects of the police force, especially as a preventive force.

In the year 1840 he himself had la cases of felony tome before of misdemeanours and suramiry convictions during the last year, since his return to England, he had had but a. The Rev. A. Fxz Roy, was decidedly adverse to any increase in the police force, but his aversion did not arise from suspicion of the efficiency of the Chief Constable or those under him, though the noble Duke, with his usual zeal for the public good, had (perhaps from some misrepresentations made to him) mentioned that subject. He was averse to the increase of the force, because he considered that that which was proposed would not make it more efficient.

The Rev. W. S. Casbohne opposed the motion. The Rev.

W. Mayd, in the course of his reply said, he had made his first calculation nt 18s. a week, till the Chief Constable told him that would do. That would have made 2M a quarter instead of 215. II.

S. before the question was put to the Bench, wished to say he thought the noble Duke was, if he might so express himself, rather severe on Col. Eyres. He (Mr. Waddington) would state, his own belief that Col.

Eyres was always anxious to perform the duties of his office efficiently. He would only mention a case that occurred in his own parish, when there was fire there. He himself was away nt the time, but Col. Eyres attended, and waited as long as he could do any good. He would further state that he rode down to llengrave the morning after the fire at Mr.

Raynbird's, and he'saw Col. Eyres at his post making every inquiry he could, with the view of finding out the offender; but this he was not so fortunate as to effect, and an inquest sat afterwards but he mint say that Cot. Eyres did all in his power. The Duke of Grafto.v said his worthy friend had not said whether Colonel Eyres ever went shooting. He had charged Col.

Eyres with nothing else; but he did not think the Chief of their Police should so amuse himself. He knew the habit of shooting ws such that if a gentleman was invited by his friends he could not give it up. He must say that a person having 500. (A voice 600.) a year for superintending the police ought not so to amuse himself. Captain Heigh am said he had been a cavalry officer 20 years, and had served her Maiestv, and as such he was expected to perform his office When on permanent aui-; but he had never heard it asked how a gentleman spent his time when off duty.

So long as he performed his duty satisfactorily and attended to it there never was a question nsked. (Appkuse.) The Duke of Grafton: I beg leave to say this, that the duty of a cavalry officer and of a head of the police is as different as black from white; the head of a police is; never off duty. R. wished to be allowed to soy one word in reference to what Mr. Waddington had stated, as he had represented the matter rather inadequately.

He said he (Col. Eyres) went the next morning to HengrRve but he (Mr, Bevan) knew he wan there within an hour of the fire breaking out. The Rev. W. Mavu should think that if there were any charge against the Chief Constable, ic was the duty of the parties making it to bring it forward in some substantial shape.

The Chairman said there did not appear to he anything like a charge against him. A division then took plain, when there appeared for the motion 20; against it, 11. For the motion The Kevds. W. Mayd, Dr.

The business of these Sessions was resumed nt eleven o'clock, by adjournment from the 21st ult. chahgk ok bmmkzzlkmknt. James Solfe, 22, was charged with having embezzled the sum of the property of his master, Mr. William Pooley, of Pinningham. Mr.

Maule appeared for the prosecution. The prosecutor is a smith and farrier, and resides at Methwold, Norfolk the prisoner, who is a labourer and sawyer, was in the prosecutor's employment at the time ot the transactions now brought iu question. On the 4th September lost, the prosecutor directed the prisoner to take a mare and foal to Horringer fair. The prosecutor followed, and eventually the foal was sold for to Mr. George Hayward, farmer, Wetheringsett, when the prisoner was further directed to ride the prosecutor's pony, and deliver the foal, and receive from Mr.

Hnyward the price; the prosecutor, at the same time, giving the prisoner 2s. for expences on the road. The prisoner arrived at Mr. Huyward's ou the following morning at 3 o'clock and called him up, Mr. Hayward, however, told the prisoner to lie down in the barn until i o'clock, at which hour Mr.

Commissioners of Customs on the subject The Floods and the Railways. The floods that during the last fortnight have been so unprecedented, particularly in the eastern and north-eastern districts, have put to a severer test than usual the strength and solidity of the railways.

On the branch lines of the Eastern Counties, from Ely to Peterborough and beyoidd, the arable and meadow lands are two and three feet under water for six and seven miles around, so that viewed from a train in transit, the country presents nothing but a vast sheet of water, front which 'neither the canals' nor tho rivers can be distinguished The farmera are to be seen ferrying themselves in boats from field to field and farm to form Many acres of oats and barley, mowed and un-mowed, are surrounded with water, and this in Cambridge-chire and Lincolnshire is expected to render the crops he-low the average. An ingenious method has been resorted to on the Eastern Conhties to mitigate the effect of the mass of water.by placing Itttle breakwaters of wood at the bottom of embankments, but in spite of these precautions the line between Swavesy and St. Ives has been overflowed and the traffic temporarily suspended. Although the Great Northern runs parallel wilh the Witham Navigation, and almost on a level, it has not suffered from the overflowing. The line affected most has been the North-ampton and Peterborough branch of the London end North Western; where a bridge or two has been washed down and the mail trains detained.

The rails of the South-Eastern have been covered by the overflowings of the Stour, near Canterbury and those of the Great Western, a short way above Charge or Swindling. On Saturday, Edward-Morton, who was described as a solicitor, was placed at the bar ofClerkenwell remand before Mr.Tyr-whitt, charged by Mrs. E.Gregory, the wife of a labourer residing at Barking.Easex, with having fraudulently obtained from her 67.. The nrisoner.it will be recollected met Mrs; Gregory and her sister in a public-house, where they were conversing aboutan Estate at Brentwood, Euex, to which Mrs. Gregory thought she was entitled.

The prisoner interfered, and, representing himself as a solicitor, he undertook to investigate the matter, and from time to time he obtained 67 from her, and produced a letter, purport-to have been signed and sealed by, the Lord Jiigh Ohan-celldr of England, and authorizing her to take possession of the estate and upon which he obtained farther money. Since the last examination a made to the Secretary of State far the Home Department, and the Lord Chancellor's-omce and Mr 'Sidney, solicitor, of Hatton -garden, attended for the.proseeution said that the case was one of great Importation, inasmuch as the Lord High Chancellor's signature bad been forged for the purpose of imposingon the prosecutrix, who had been nearly ruined in consequence of the nefarious practices by which she had been victimized by the prisoner, who had carried on an extensive system of plunder, fur a considerable time. Mr. Mallett said, that he had communicated with the Home-office and the Lord Chancellor's-office, and the case would be supported for the prosecution by authorized parties. Mr.

Sidney said the case was one of a most heartless and cruel description. Police constable Moss, 195 produced a great number of letters which had been written by the prisoner to his client and to add to his impositions, be headed them House of Commons," and on several occasions he carried about with him pretended briefs, tied with red tape, and on them' were writ-fen, "Mr. Montagu Chambers, 5 guineas with you Mr. Cole, 5 guineas." Mr. Tyrnbitt remanded the prisoner again in order that some parties might attend from the Homeoffice and the Lord Chancellor's, and said that the prisoner most certainty would be committed for trial.

The prisoner was then conveyed to gaol. Extensive System oir Rohurry by A Railway Friday the 27th James' Howse, a porter in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, was, placed at the bar of the Maryle-bone Police Court, before Mr. Long, charged at the instance of Mr. Col lard, superintendent of the said company's police, with having pursued a system of robbery to a considerable amount. Michael Giles, yard-clerk and time-keeper at the Pad-dingtoh terminus, deposed that on the previous night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, he observed a bottle tof brandy lying under some grass close to a Wall at the back of the porters'-room.

He secreted himself neSr at hirid, and, at five o'clock in the morning, saw the prisoner approach and take up the bottle in question, which he deposited in one of the pockets of histrowsers. The prisoner was cap-tured as he was walking away, at which period he had alio a bottle of capers concealed beneath his apron. When stopped he denied having any property Of the' kind in his possession. Mr. Collard stated thst in consequence of information which he had received, he repaired to No.

27, Hampden-street, Harrow-road, where, in a box in the prisoner's room, he found numerous bottles of wine and brandy, as also a quantity of fish sauce, sealing wax, pencils, lace, bonnets, and a variety of other all of which had no doubt been stolen from hampers and parcels intrusted to the company fof delivery in different parts of the country. The property produced had: been ex- tracted from that part of the company's prem ises to which the prisoner had, from the nature of his situation, access. The prisoner, who seemed much dejected; and had no answer to make to the question why he should not be brought up again on another day, was remanded for farther examination, Destructive Fire at CAMBERwBi.L.--At an early hour on Friday morning a destructive fire broke out on Camberwell. Green, in the house adjoining the brewery of Messrs. Fleming.

Before the arrival of the engines, the 1 flames had communicated to the brewhouse, which, with nearly all its offices, was soon completely, destroyed. Great damage was also done to the Mother Red Cap public-house; the back part of the butcher's shop next door was partly burned; the furniture of Mr. Godfrey, tobacconist was much damaged in its removal a private house was completely destroyed and the back premises of Mr. iven, nam anu neei snop, were icveiiea wnn ine grouna. The property destroyed by thisdisastrous eventwil! amount to a consideraoie sum.

it Being ine opinion ot tne proprietors of the brewery that the fire was' the work of an incendiary, accordingly on Saturday, at the Lambeth police court, Samuel Smith Mickleburgb, was charged before Mr. Norton on suspicion of having wilfully fired the above premises, and with embezzling upward' of 100.. the moneys of the Messrs. Fleming, his employers. From the statement of Mr.

Thomas Brandos Fleming, 'a solicitor, and brother to the prosecutor, it appeared thai the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. H. Fleming, as confidential clerk, at his brewery on for eizht or nine vears. and had been discharged about a month. Since his discharge some irregularities had been discovered in the accounts, which led to their investigation, and the result, was that upwards of received by the not been properly accounted for.

In consequence of this discovery the Messrs. Fleming nent.foi the prionnor on Friday morning, and placing befpre him a list of the sums, found to have heen Irregularly entered in the him to explain the matter. The prisoner admitted that some of the entries Were irregular, but still declared thsit the'whole of the monies received by him had been regularly paid hi, The Messrs. Flemiiie. notwithstanding bis assertion, told him at the time they had no doubt he had embezzled moneys to the; amount ot at least out at tne same line wejr aw not wish to take him by surprise, but should allow him to remain at large, and bring a solicitor or friend with him; on the following morning, tq go through a regular examination of the accounts, with the view of ascertaining thej exact amount of the deficiency.

XJoNSEOBAtiON of a New Chubch. A beautiful (jhu'reh, lately erected at Skirheck, near Boston, in Lincolnshire, at the expence of Dr. Roy, the rector of the parish, was consecrated by the Bishop of Lincoln on Tuesday, in the presence of a large number of the clergy and respectable residents of the locality. The church, which is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is built of hammer-dressed Ancaster freestone, with worked stone at the quoins and buttresses, and round the windows. The length of the interior, from east to west, is 90 feet by 46 feet in width.

Rectory or Bishop Wearmouth. It is generally reported at Sunderland that the Rev. John Patrick Eden, M.A., perpetual curate of Bishop Auckland, (son-in-law to Lord Brougham), will be preferred by the Bishop of Durham, the patron, to the very important and valuable rectory of BiBhop Wearmouth, now vacant by the death oftne Hon. arid Rev. Dr.

Wellesley. It is expected that thia very extensive and wealthy rectory, which is of the gross yealrly value of at least JS4.200, will be constituted into several' district rectories, amongst which will be the present curacies of St. Thomas, Bishop Wearmouth, Hyltpn, and Ryhopa, with an augmentation of income to tWrespective incumbents. It is likewise thought that the rectory of Sunderland will be augmented in value by an addition from the funds of Bishop Wearmonth rectory a proceeding which will be only strict justice, for when Sunderland was separated from Wearmouth and made an independent rectory in 1701 it obtained the heaviest portion of the parochial duties without any income to support the rectory except the fees. In this case the just claim of Sunderland, cannot well be overlooked.

Diocesan Training Institution. A training school for: the diocese of Worcester is about to be established at Saltley, in that diocese, the contributions to which amount to about .5,500, besides a guaranteed annual subscription fwits maintenance when established, amounting to .370. The management is to be under the direction of a board of clergy and laity of the diocese, and the Bishop of Worcester is to have visitorial power. The National Education Soqiety has just voted a sum of 800 towards the object. The resolutions, passed at the public meeting, at which it was resolved to establish this training school, have been approved by the Committee of Council on Education, and it is understood that no difference exists between the Committee of Council and the National Society as regards the principles which regulate the grants made by their lordships.

Queen's. College, Birmingham. The Rev. Dr. Warneford, Honorary Canon of Gloucester, who has at varipus times munificently contributed to this and other educational institutions throughout the country, hus just placed at the disposal of the Council of the Queen's College, the sum of 2000.

for the establishment of a Professorship of Pastoral Theology ia connection with the department of arts. Harrow School. -The authorities of this far-famed seat of learning having received official intelligence of Her Majesty the Queen Dowager's wish to visit the school on Tuesday, proper preparations were made. Her Majesty arrived about 20 minutes to 3 o'clock, and proceeded at once with her numerous suite to the Speech Room, where the scholars were assembled. Here Her Mnjesty begged an extra week's hoiyday for the school at Christmas, which was of course granted.

After inspecting the Monitor's library and other parts of the building, Her Majesty left for her i residence, Stanmore Priory, amid the loyal and grateful cheers of upwards of 300 Harrovians. The Co ast Defence Brigade. The drilling of the (Joast Guard at -'the great gun exercise, is now closed for the yc-fer, and although it was commenced late this season, 2,500 men, consisting of the Coast Guard from Harwich' fo'Perizanee, and the crews of 37 revenue cruisers, have; been well trained; making an increase of 1500 upon the number drilled last year. The expence attending the instruction of this number of men has not exceeded 1,000. The Coast Guard force consists altogether of 6,500 men, of whom 4,000, on an emergency could be collected in 48 hours, which, with the Marines and disposable men in the varioiis Government ports, would insure ten sail-of-the-line being at sea on the shortest notice."

The Rev, Mr.

Lord John Russell, who had received the deputation with the greatest courtesy.and hnd paid profound attention to the reading of the address, and to the speakers by whom he had been addressed; adverted to the several propositions embodied in the address, which, he said, should have his attention.

In addi tion to the misfortune mentioned, we are sorry to say thnt some of the most precious of the relics which reached Bombay have not got thence to London. By whom or how abstracted does not appear, Literary Gazette. Curious Discovery, On Thursday last, the work men of Mr. Brown lee, the contractor for the erection of the new quay on the south side of the river, made a discovery, while engaged in excavating the ground fronting the Clyde there, which we aouot not win open up a neiu of inte'restine inauiry to antiquaries, geologists, and others. At about 300 feet from the margin of the present channel of the river they came upon a canoe, imbedded in fine sand, at least twenty feet from the surfoce.

The boat, when measured, was found to be 19 feet in length by 2J feet deep, and 21 feet wide. It has a sharp prow and square stern, and has been cut out ot tns solid oau. from tne length and other appearances, it would seem to be adapted for six oars. The wood is in pretty good preser-servntion, considering the position in. which it was found, but part of it was unfortunately broken by the workmen in digging it out.

We believe it is the intention of Mr. Brownlee to have the piece that has been broken off preserved along with the rest of the ancient structure. Glasgow Post. Tnn Condition of the O'Connor Lasd Occu pants. On Monday evening last, a public entertainment was given in the Town Hall, at Almondbury, near Hud-dersfield, for the purpose of raising a sum of money for the relief of John liraaanaw, mie oi Aimonaoury, out now an oocupant of one of the O'Connor farms on the Minster Lovet estate.

Bradshaw haslongbeen an enthusiastic adherent of O'Connor, and was thoroughly satisfied that all the extravagant promises ofbenefitby meansof theNation-al Land Company were certain Of fulfilment. Bradshaw left a permanent situation of 30s. a week; and purchased for a considerable yearly sum the right to be a permissive occu-panton oneof' the people's estates." Having thusparted with his savings, he removed to Minster Lovel, near Witney in Oxfordshire. The plot he had thus obtained had been advertised as "cropped," but when Bradshaw arrived, he certainly found his land cropped, but it was with weeds, and not with either cereals or roots fit for human fOUQ. But libtliinK dunntod, and ftiviiift no nrnjt to tho tears and beieechings qf hJs wife to return to the flesh of Almondbury, to work Bradshaw set, to clear his plot of weeds and though the season was far too late to sow and plant both seeds.

and roots, in the hope that he might yet be able to obtain such an amount of crop as would put him over the winter. In this good.and creditable intention, however, he haB been disappointed. His crops were nil but an utter failure. The little means he hacf left, after removing his family, were soon exhausted. Because he had purchased his right to occupy" from another, the directors of the Land Company held that he was not entitled to the "aid money" which the rules guarantee to all allottees, and when poor Bradshaw was thus reduced to positive starvation, he had no resource left but to appeal to his old friends nnd neighbours at Almondbury for aid.

Most deplorable have been the ac-counts received from him as to his condition, without money and without food. Several subscriptions hove, been already maue in Aimonaoury lor ms relief, and sent and on Monday night the entertainment before spoken'of was held in aid of this purpose. On the occasion 30s. were cleared, which on Tuesday were forwarded for poor starving Bradshaw's use. Bell's Messenger.

Davis' Straits Whalers. A correspondent in-Stromness informs us that on Saturday evening the ships Lord Gambier of Hull, with seven fish, and the Pacific of Aberdeen, with three fish, anchored in Stromness har-: hour, where they are still detained by contrary winds. We learn that the greater number of whalers at Davis' Straits were for some weeks ice-bound, and that the crews had' little hope of escaping shipwreck, or of spending a dreary and desolate winter in the frozen regions. Many of the seamen, under this impression, left their ships, and crossed the ice to the shore, and during three nights were subject-' ed to great privations, owing to a severe gale of wind which arose, accompanied with snow, which' swept their clothes into the sea but happily, while the storm deprived them of the greater part of their clothing, it broke up the ice, and allowed the vessels to go free, which they were enabled to reach with no loss of life. Hill, of the Lord Gambier, saw Sir James Ross on the 25th July, at the Thumb, Davis' Straits, where the gallant captain and his crew were in health, and in good spirits, ardently pursuing their benevolent enterprise to discover Sir John Franklin.

The whalers left the ice on the 1st of October. Witness. Capture of a Whalb. On Thursday morning flue young whale of the finner species was discovered struggling on the shore opposite Mr. Eddie's Farm, (a few hun.
