The volume was presented by D.G.M. Wm. Oldroyd, who pre- [presided] sided over the meeting, and delivered an excellent speech in which he eulogised the character of Mr. Iredale, and bore testimony to his able and effective services on behalf of the order. Mr. Iredale, in acknowledgment, spoke in a walt) [salt] manner, expressive of the obligation he felt the mem- [men- members] bers [bees] of the order had placed him under in presenting him with so valuable a testimony of their esteem.-The remain- [remainder] der of the evening was spent in the delivery of complimen- [compliment- complimentary] tary [Tar] speeches, and passed off most harmoniously, STEALING A WEDDING RING.-Johi [RING.-John] Tetlow, a young man about 16 or 18 years of age, was charged, before the sltungy [slung] magistrates, at the Guildhall, on Tuesday, with stealing a wedding ring, the property of Mary Garside. The prisoner, together with another young person, were, on the 2nd July, painting the prosecutor's house, and during her absence at work Tetlow had taken French leave to rummage the premises, and in turning out the contents of a box, his attention was attracted by the glitter of a gold wedding ring, which he then appropriated as his own pro- [property] perty. [petty] Not resting with so easy a conscience as he had anticipated, he proceeded to Mr. Hirst's, pawnbroker, High-street, the same day, and, under the name of John Ingham, of Castlegate, pawned the ring for4s. [forks] The ring was identified and sworn to, and policeman Brook appre- [paper- apprehended] hended [ended] the prisoner at Batley Carr, a few days after. Tetlow had nothing to say, and was committed to W. ake- [ale- Wakefield] field to await his trial at the sessions. A SEMPSTRESS IN TROUBLE.-Mr. Postlethwaite, mere chant, appeared before J. Armitage and B. N. R. Batty, Esqrs., [Esquires] on Tuesday last, as prosecutor against Mary Ann Walker, a respectably dressed young female, charging her with stealing a baby's pinafore, a cambric handkerchief, a silk handkerchief, and a silk net, his property, value 4s. The prisoner is a working sempstress, of poor but respect- [respectable] able parents, and of late years it has devolved upon her exertions to support a widowed mother and family. Up to the present moment, her character was considered irre- [ire- irreproachable] proachable. [probable] On the recommendation of a friend, she was a fortnight ago engaged by Mrs. Postlethwaite, at her residence, and during the time the prisoner was there, several articles of value, as a gold brooch and vinagereite, [inaugurate] were niissed [Aniseed] and after she-returned home, the articles first mentioned were nowhere to be found. A search- [search warrant] warrant was obtained, and Superintendent Thomas, on Monday last, proceeded to the house of the prisoner's mother, and in a box in the prisoner's bed-room found a child's pinafore, a silk net, the two handkerchiefs, and in the house.a linen front. Mary Ann Walker was not at home durfhg [during] the search, but Mr. Thomas afterwards met her and took her into custody. Mr. J. I. Freeman appeared for the defence. He denied that the articles, excepting the front, were the prosecutor's property, and contended that the evidence of identity was very loose. He submitted that the prisoner had taken the front home for a patiern, [pattern] and intending to return it on an early day. She was com- [committed] to the sessions, but admitted to bail, herself in 10 and two sureties in 5 each. THE CaLENDAR.-The [Calendar.-The] following is an analysis of the calendar up io the conclusion of the assizes - NO DIS eee [see] 20, To be imprisoned for 10 yrs. 5 Not guilty 14 7 yrs. 13 Entered recoguisances [recognisances] up for To be imprisoned for18 [for] mos. 3 judgment when cailedupon [Caledonian] 26 95 15 ,, 5 To be confined during he 55 q2 5, 9 Majesty's pleasure............ 1 3 9 ,, 1 Recognisances estreated [treated] ...... 1 6, 5 Admitted evidence ............ 1 3, 7 For execution .................. 1 1 To be transported tor life ... 3 - To be transported for15 [for] yrs. 5 Total prisoners......122 [prisoners......W] 1) - Since the commencement of the assizes the calendar has been increased by about a dozen prisoners, The number of bills thrown out is twenty. Ought not this to operate as a caution to the committing magistrates Mr. Moopy's [Moody's] VocaL [Local] ENTERTAINMENT.-Mr. Moody gave his Notes for English Circulation, and Imitations of past and present Actors, on Wednesday and Eriday [Friday] even- [evenings] ings, in the Philosophical-hall. We have become of late years somewhat familiar with both good and indifferent and our recollections of evenings with old Matthews, and Dibdin, and Wilson in the past; with Braham, and Templeton, and Russell, and the inimitable Parry in the present-come again fresh and life-like to the mind when we are called upon to enjoy similar pleasant re-unions. 'There was always a hearty relaxation, a merry laugh, or a sigh for human sympathies, in their entertain- [entertainments] ments; [rents] and at once we, in common with the audiences, ever felt ourselves at home with such genial souls as old Matthews, with his laughter-creating imitations and volu- [vol- volubility] bility-as [debility-as -as] Wilson, with his quaint sweet Scotch airs and rich morceaus [Mercers] of anecdote-as Braham, who strung the heart to nationality of feeling by the Death of Nelson [Nelson] as Templeton, with his magnificent voice revelling in ope- [operatic] ratic [ratio] airs, and good old Scotch and English songs-as Russell, who, with all his exaggerated Yankeeisms [Yankees] and lon [on] mote, we felt to be a genius, stealing like a dream upon our memories, with his Gambler's Wife, or the Maniac -or as our new friend Parry, with his fashionable polite comedy. Now that some of these master- [master spirits] spirits have been removed from amongst us, we gather with greater reverence around those who still remain; and we are critical-perhaps too much so-towards any new claimant who comes to supply old friends; for there has of late been such an inundation of small fry -of all colours and from all climes-that we have been wearied with their paucity, and annoyed with their puerility. To Mr. Moody we offer a higher meed of praise. Following, to some extent, in the path of his great master, the late Mr. Matthews, he seeks, successfully, to relieve the mono- [monotony] tony of an evening, by mingling the lighter, merrier, buffo songs of the present, with the national ballads and songs of the past-interspersing their arrangement with many anecdotes and recollections, personal and general, of the stars who kept the world in a blaze in the earlier part of the present century. With a good tenor voice and easy manner, Mr. Moody is a very pleasing singer; and, in his better songs leaves a most favourable impression; whilst he does not fail to keep his house in excellent good humour by his Notes. in our Alley, The death of Nel- [Ne- Nelson] son, and 'Beautiful Venice, were received with marked approbation, and would have been encored had time per- [permitted] mitted. [fitted] In the humorous medley of Planché's [Blanche's] Punch's Review, Hudson's laughable Italian image boy's descrip- [Scrip- descriptive] tive [tie] song, Buy my images, and Beuler's [Boiler's] strange buffo effusion of The man that couldn't [could't] get warm, he was particularly happy, and sang amidst repeated bursts of hter [her] and applause. On the whole an evening will be heartily enjoyed under the management of Mr. Moody, who is deserving of more general support than honoured on these e think this gentleman, in his Tmitations Imitations] of past and present actors, allows his love of the exaggerated to be too predominant; and thus unwit- [unit- unwittingly] tingly injures the reputation of some of our leading per- [performers] formers. Mr. C. A. Field presided at the piano-forte with great efficiency, and we make no doubt that should Mr. Moody pay us another visit, he will meet with a more extensive audience than on the present occasion. DDERSFIELD [HUDDERSFIELD] MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.-We learn with pleasure that this valuable educational institution con- [continues] tinues [tines] its operations with undiminished vigour and activity in its new location in Queen-street. There are few insti- [inst- institutions] tutions [institutions] in this county whose practical working, and easy terms of membership, have a higher claim to the support and co-operation of the great bulk of the artizan [artisans] popula- [popular- population] tion [ion] than the one of which we are s ng. No exertions have been to render the classes-from the simplest rudimentary tuition, to the more complex and comprehen- [comprehend- comprehensive] sive [side] studies in mathematics, es, and design-most efficient both in reference to the standing of their teachers, and their classification and arrangement. A few evenings ago, through the kindness of Mr. G. S. Phillips, we passed through the entire establishment, at an hour when its classes were forming, and though the season of the year is felt materially to influence the attendance of young people, we met in every department, with ample cause for gratula- [greatly- congratulation] tion [ion] in the numbers present, their earnestness and desire for instruction, and the kind urbanity and patience of the teachers-many of whom have trod the path of learners in the classes over which they now preside. The class books of the institute were placed under our examinaion, [examination] and, whatever may be their other faults or merits, nothing can certainly be more strained than abe [be] idea that their contents are based upon too lax a system of morals and religion. We do not presume that a notion we this character is entertained amongst those whe [the] hare i opportunities and desire to become acquainted wit a ucational [educational] apparatus of the institute but we regret there is any party who should be so utterly absent as t countenance rumours of this nature. For whilst a a simple and easy to create a prejudice-it is an up-hi labour of time and toil to remove the most trivial i- cion. [Lion] In the higher departments of the institute, as the School of Design, the results are most creditable, and pro' mise [Miss] in the course of years to develope [develop] and educate a wat [at] amount of latent and unknown talent and we know [C] no studies more elevating and refining the pencil and the model, and which will prove of more practical utility to the manufacturing taste and skill of our local staple trade and industry. The library, though not extensive, contains most of the standard authors, not only in the lighter, but more solid and severer branches of English lit DEwsBuRY [Dewsbury] CHORAL Socrery.-The [Score.-The] members of this excellent society gave a vocal and instrumental performance of sacred music, on Wednesday afternoon last, Judas Maccabeus being selected for t eoccasion. [occasion] The principal Singers were Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Atkinson, and Mr. Hemingway. There was a powerful and efficient orchestra, who were ably conducted by Mr. Haddock, and the per- [performance] formance [France] was highly satisfactory. InLicir [Inline] DistiLatron.-In [Distillation.-In] consequence of information received at the Inland Revenue Office, Mr. Wallis, the Supervisor, and two officers, together with Superintendent Thomas and Sergeant Townend, proceeded on Tuesday, to a small cellar dwelling, occupied by Robert Gledhill, in Northgate, at the corner of Northumberland-street, to in- [institute] stitute [institute] an active search for an illicit still. For some time their labours were unavailing, so perfect were the precau- [preach- precautions] tions [tins] against discovery but after a while the attention of the officers was drawn toa [to] flag-stone partly raised, and ona [on] closer examination they found a narrow, awkward commu- [com- communication] nication, [nation] thence to an arched cellar, where there was, in full operation, a still, and five or six gallons of whiskey, in addition to eighteen gallons of wash. The entire of the distillery was immediately taken possession of, and a warrant issued for the capture of the tenant, Robert Gledhill. In the course of Thursday morning he was taken into custody, and placed in the dock at the Guildhall, before J. Brook, Esq., and charged by Mr. Wallis with having unlawfully in his possessicn [possession] a large quantity of whiskey with intent to defraud her Majesty's inland revenue. The prisoner admitted the offence, and pleaded no extenu- [extent- extenuation] ation. [action] Fined 30; in default committed to the House of Correction for three months. The small cellar cottage oceupied [occupied] by Gledhill forms a portion of a double house, and has connected with it an arched cellar, which had pre- [previously] viously [obviously] been used by the occupiers of the house above. Gledhill had walled up the proper door-way, and made another entrance and communication from his portion of the premises, just sufficient for a man's body, which was generally covered over with a flag-stone; but not antici- [anti- anticipating] pating [eating] a visit from so unwelcome a quarter, Gledhill had suffered his caution to sleep at ease. The consequences our readers already know. ASSAULT AT FARNLEY Tyas.--Mr. John Haigh, farmer, of Farnley Tyas, charged Jonuthan [Jonathan] and Jumes [James] Lodge, on Saturday last, at the Guildhall, with having, on the pre- [previous] vious [pious] Saturday morning, assaulted him, without any sufii- [Sofia- sufficient] cient [cent] provocation. This assault was said to have been com- [committed] mitted [fitted] under vindictive feelings, arising from the convie- [convince- conviction] tion [ion] and transportation of a companion of Jonathan Ledge's, for a robbery committed at F arnley [only] Tyas, some short time ago, in which the piaintiff [plaintiff] appeared as witness for the pro- [prosecution] secution. [section] Mr. Haigh gave evidence that, on leaving' his house, on Saturday evening, with the intent of going to Honley, the defendants commenced to upbraid him with having done for their companion at last, and afterwards proceeded to strike him, exclaiming, D-n him, poise him to death. No witnesses were called by the plaintiff, on the ground that all present, during the assault, were friends of the defendants. For the defence, it was given in evidence that Mr. Haigh first began the uproar, by say- [saying] ing to Jonathan Lodge, 'We've got tha [that] companion tran- [train- transported] sported, and we will have thee next, and then attempting to strike him. In support of this view of the case several were called; and the defendants were conse- [cone- consequently] quently [frequently] discharged. An InisH [Irish] Row.-Patrick Noyiane, [Nine] Janes Noylane, [Nolan] and Joseph Duffy, were charged at the Guildhall, on Saturday, before Jos. Brook, and Jos. Starkey, Esqs., [Esq] with having most wantonly insulted a sister country-woman. Mr. Dransfield appeared for the defendants. Mrs. Mary Kelly, a genuine Hibernian, unfolded a tale, which like most Irish tales, was founded upon their love of quarrelling, and wherein she affirmed that whilst passing quietly the house of the defendants they assaulted her most desparately [separately] - of course without any provocation, Unfortunately for Mrs. Kelly, the cross-examination turned the tables, and gave an entire new phase to the affair-and Mary instead of es- [establishing] tablishing [publishing] her charge, was placed in the questionable position of being the first agzressor, [aggressor] having had a drop of the crather, [rather, which had disturbed the equaninity [quantity] of her temper, and rendered her very obnoxious to the peaceable inhabitants of her neighbourhood. The magistrates in discharging the case, recommended her to be more peace- [peaceably] ably disposed in future. ANOTHER 1RISH [IRISH] SPREE.-Bridget Coghlan, appeared at the Guildhall, on Saturday, charging William Morris and his wife with having assaulted her, and challenged her and her husband out to fight. The party were from the locality of Chapel Hill, a neighbourhood which suffers no small amount of annoyance from Irish disturbances. The details of this case were but slightly varied from those which we have previcusly [previously] reported, and arose out of the irresistible tendency there is in some people's natures to havea [have] row. The plaintiff swore vehemently against the defendants, and the defendants were not less earnest and energetic in their evidence against the plaintiff. Ann Morris appeared to have assumed the breeches for the occasion, as her husband Was represented as being very quiet and very white look- [looking] ing She was fined 2s. 6d. with costs, and her husband discharged. Mr. J. I. Freeman, appeared for the de- [defendant] feudants. [feud ants] THE TABLES TURNED.-No sooner had Mrs. Coghlan ob- [obtained] tained [gained] her victory as plaintiff, than she was placed in the dock as defendant. 'The defendant was represented by Mrs. Douay as going into the Grey Horse, and after throw- [throwing] ing a glass of beer in the face of her son, with striking her violently. It was a public-house affray, and the defendant was discharged on payment of the expenses with a caution to be more circumspect and neighbourly in future. NEIGHBOURLY QUARRELS. On Saturday last, at the Guildhall, Hannah Kaye, appeared before J. Starkey and J. Brook, Esqs., [Esq] charging Joseph Clayton and Sarah Shaw, with using abusive language, and ultimately striking her. The plaintiff and defendants live in Brook's-yard, and on Thursday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as Mrs. Crosby, an old woman, lodging with the plaintiff, was going down the yard to empty some nighf [night] soil, blind Joseph was said to have upbraided her in a most ungentlemanly man- [manner] ner. [ne] The landlady, of course, came to look after her tenant, and Sarah Shaw joined the group to see that her master was fairly represented in the broil. Now, that there were three hot-headed women in close contact, an alliance defensive and ofiensive, [offensive] was entered into by the plaintiff and Mrs. Crosby as against the defendants Joseph Clayton and Sarnh [Sarah] Shaw. It would be difficult to say who struck the first, but that a fight ensued there was no doubt, in which the fair combatants fought for honour and victory. Not being in a position to arrange matters themselves, the parties appeared at the Guildhall as above stated. The defendants were discharged on payment of expenses.

DISOBDERLIES.-At [DISORDERLY.-At] the Guildhall, on Tuesday, Kitty Wheatman, was charged by policeman Beevers with being drunk and disorderly, on Monday night last, about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, in Swan Yard. Kitty com- [complained] plained that she had neither house nor home, and was so drunk on the night in question that she did not recollect what she was doing or where she was fined 2s. 6d., with expenses, or to leave the town within seven days.-Police- [Policeman] man Marsden charged Isaac Heeley, of Lepton, with drink- [drinking] ing at a public-house in Ramsden-street, and leaving his horse and cart unattended to in the meantime, on the night of Thursday, the 18th, [the] between eleven and twelve o'clock. Fined 2s, 6d. and expenses. In default of payment com- [committed] mitted [fitted] for twelve days.-Jokn [days.-John] Tasker, a boatman, was charged with going to the railway station, on Monday night, in such a state of intoxication as to endanger the lives of her Majesty's subjects. It appears there was a cheap trip to Stalybridge feast on that day, and wishing to have a cheap ride he purchased a duplicate ticket of a passenger who had one to spare, for 3d., spend- [spending] ing the difference, no doubt, in a glass of grog. But, un- [unfortunately] fortunately, before he reached the station John was half- [half seas] seas-over, [over, and could not steer a true course. He vowed he was not drunk, but still the evidence was strong against him, and the cheap ride became an expensive one, by his having to pay 5s. and expenses. RUMOURED RETURN OF THE NIGHTINGALE.-During the week, rumours have reached us that the sweetest of nature's songsters, the nightingale, is again to be heard in the woods on Kilner-bank, near Bradley Mills. Our readers will remember that this is the locality where it was heard last summer, and there is nothing improbable in its return to the same beautiful spot, more especially during the fine moonlight nights with which we have lately been favoured. However, we will not vouch for the accuracy of the report, as, from what we can gather of the parties who are said to have listened enchantedly to its song, it may have been some other less charming warbler, or imitator of nature's music. . STRANGE GRATITUDE.-It is a wise policy which leaves husbands and wives to settle their own grievances, and cautions friends, however deeply interested, against domestic interference. We have to place on record, for the special benefit of those who unwittingly thus impale them- [themselves] selves on the horns of so unenviable a dilemma, a practi- practice- practical] cal illustration of the return which they may anticipate for such services. On Saturday last, before Joseph Starkey and Joseph Brook, Esqs., [Esq] Mr. J. I. Freeman, solicitor, ap- [apr] or Mary Livesey, the complainant, as against enry [Henry] Hopkinson, for having, on the 4th inst., assaulted Mary Livesey, by striking and knocking her down, in Manchester-road. The examination and cross-examination of the witnesses occupied a considerable time, during which the following facts were educed. For many years the plain- [plaintiff] tiff and her husband have not been in the enjoyment of that domestic felicity which should prevail in the households of those who have vowed to love and to cherish each others hearts and affections through life's pilgrimage. The plaintiff frequently took an outing of fourteen or fifteen days, and, as an inevitable consequence, the children were left to the tender mercies of chance. On one occasion when Mr. Livesey, had to go to Manchester, he specially uested [rested] Hopkinson to look after his home and children, and not allow anything to be taken out of the house; and, during his stay in Manchester, he wrote a letter on the 26th of June to the defendant to the same purport; and, it is but just to the defendant to say, that there was every evidence of his having generously and faithfully fulfilled his trust. On the 4th imst., [inst] Mrs. Livesey shewed an unac- [una- unaccountable] countable maternal affection, and, having obtained the pos- [post- possession] session of the door-key, wished to remove a quantity of linen from her husband's house. Whilst doing so, the de- [defendant] fendant, [defendant] Hopkinson, interfered, and, in endeavouring to re- [recover] cover the property, a scuffle ensued, during which the alleged offence took place. There was no evidence what- [whatever] ever to prove that Hopkinson had struck the plaintiff; though it went to show that the plaintiff stumbled whilst defendant was attempting to take the articles from her. Mr. Livesey, the husband of the plaintiff, was then asked if he acknowledged the letter given in as his writing; and replied in the affirmative. The magistrates exp their indignation at such conduct; but, under the circumstances, were unable to come to a decision on the charge of assault. BaRNES' [Barnes] NOTES ON THE GOSPELS.-The issue of these excellent and concise but comprehensive Notes marks an era in our cheap literature hitherto almost unparal- [unparalleled- unparalleled] leled. [Leed] It affords an opportunity, seldom occurring, to ministers, and more especially superintendents and Sunday- [Sundays] school teachers, of becoming possessed of a valuable work ot reference-and its extreme (as will be found on reference to our advertising columns) brings it within the means of the most humble. Mr. Hodgkinson has, by a majority of polled votes, been elected a sheriff of London. THE PEEL MONUMENT aT Bury, LANCASHIRE.-On Monday evening, at a meeting of the finance committee connected with the above object, at Bury, it was ascer- [ace- ascertained] tained [gained] that the total amount of the ae pons [ons] for the intended monument at Bury was 2,692 2s, l0jd, [liked] - FaTan [Fatal] ACCIDENT at GaTESHEAD.-An [Gateshead.-An] accident occurred on Friday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, by which two lives were lost, at Mr. Price's glass-works, in Pipewellgate, [pillaged] by the falling of a cone (a large chimney enclosing the furnace). It appears that the men had been engaged during the early part of the day in setting the pots for melting the metal, when some of them observed that the cone had shrunk, and great apprehension of danger existed. At the time of the accident, however, most of the men had left-the two sufferers being in the cutting shop upstairs. William Weightman, a joiner, and an old man named Sewell, on hearing the alarm, had both run across the building to make their escape, but were caught by the falling wreck. Weightman was got out almost immediately, dead; but Sewell was buried under several tons of rubbish, and had to be extricated by breaking through the wall ot the building. He was not released until upwards of three hours after the accident. He had lived a considerable time, his moans pemng [peering] heard at intervals by the workmen.- [workmen] (Gateshead server.

FLOATING OF THE FoURTH [Fourth] anD [and] Last TUBE OF THE BRI- [BRO- BRITANNIA] TANNIA [TANNIN] BRIDGE.-The floating of the fourth and last tube, which may be said to complete this magnificent structure, came off on Thursday morning, at nine with success. On Thursday morning, at the above hour, Mr. Stephenson, M.P., Captain Claxton, Mr. Edwin Clark, Mr. Bidder, Mr. C. H. Wild, Mr. Ricardo, M.P., Mr. Lee, C.E., Mr. Borthwick, C.E., and others, took their stations on the top of the tube, which, amid the cheers of the multi- [multitude] tude, [tue] gradually, as the tide came in, rose upon its cradle of pontoons. The men at the mooring-chains and capstans then, in obedience to the various signalings [signal] and coloured flags, plied away at their posts, until at three minutes past nine, the huge mass, when released from its moorings, move 1 out into mid-stream, where under the troll of the vast and intricate tackle, it made its way for full forty minutes, until in the space of another ten, and after various nice evolutions [evolution] it came home and was safely deposited amid artillery and cheers on the projecting plinths ot the towers. The tide taken at starting was 12 feet 8 inches, and it gradually rose until it reached a maximum of 17 feet. 'The total distance travelled over from the starting point on the Carnarvon- [Canton- Carnivora] shire coast to the base of the towers, was upwards of three hundred yards. At about four minutes past ten, just as the operation was completed, the tide tumed, [timed] and it was high water at thirty-two minutes past ton. The length of the tube floated was 470 feet its weight, 1,690 tons the number of pontoons, 8; their aggregate burden, 2,750 tons the number of men engaged in the floating, 685. During the operation, the spectators were permitted to stand upon the top of the tube already in use, and which was covered with them from one end to the other. MipLanp [Midland] RaiLway.-On [Railway.-On] Friday a special general meet- [meeting] ing of proprietors was held at Derby, at the company's station, to consider the expediency of entering into certairt [certain] arrangements with the holders of 50 shares in the said company, for an alteratiou [alteration] of the conditions, rights, and privileges attaching to such shares, and the preferential dividends payable thereon. The following propositions were submitted to the mecting [meeting] That the 5 per cent dividend on the 35 already called on the 50 shares shall cease to be payable after the 3lst [last] of December, 1850, [W] That 33 6s. 8d. (part of such 35) shall be consolidated into and receive dividend. rateably with the general capital stock of the company, from January 1, 1851, the company guaranteeing thenceforth a dividend of 43 per cent. on any future calls which may be made on the 50 shares (beyond the call now due), and also on 1 13s. 4d. per share, 'part of the 35 already called up. That an act of partia- [part- Parliament] ment [men] shall be applied for to sanction the foregoing arrange- [arrangement] ment, [men] in which power shall be taken for the Midland Com- [Company] pany [any] to pay off the guaranteed part of the above shares, whenever they shall think fit, at par. These propositions were carried by a considerable majority on a show of hands ; but Mr. Brancker, [Banker] of Liverpool, demanded a poll, when the result was declared as follows -For the motion, 7,076; against, 1,287.-Sheffield Times. Loss oF AN INDIAMAN [INDIAN] AND A FRENcH [French] GuN [Gun] Bric.-ONE HUNDRED Persons DRowNED.-On [Drowned.-On] Sunday, letters were received at Lioyd's [Lion's] from Madras and Martinique, communi- [common- communicating] cating [acting] the melancholy intelligence of the loss of an India- [Indian] man, the Sulimary, [Summary] from Bombay, bound to England, and of the wreck of the French Republican war brig, L'Aigle, [L'Angle] lost between Fort de France and Trinidad, both of which were attended with frightful loss of human life. The Suli- [Sui- Summary] mary, [may] Indiaman, [Indian] was riding at anchor off the coast, and encountered, on the 24th of May, a dreadful gale of wind, in the height of which she parted from her anchors and was driven ashore, when the splendid ship speedily became a wreck. An attempt was made to save the passengers, of whom there were several, by means of the boats. They were, however, quickly destroyed by the fury of the sea, and upwards of forty, including the captain, his wife, and and seamen, perished. Another Indiaman, [Indian] the Guna, [Guns] was driven ashore on the same coast about the same time, and became a wreck. The crew of the vessel were more fortunate-they all escaped. The loss of both vessels is said to exceed 50,000. The sad calamity tothe [tithe] L'Aigle [L'Angle] happened on the 10th of June. She was suddenly over- [overtaken] taken in a heavy squall, and almost instantly capsized and went down. Her crew and officers amounted to sixty men. With the exception of two every soul met with a watery grave. ee THE WESLEYAN DIFFERENCES IN HUDDERSFIELD. A letter having appeared in last week's Watchman, from the Rev. W.R. Williams, of the Huddersfield First Circuit, calculated to cast reflections on Mr. George Mallinson, one ofthe [of the] andamost [Andaman] liberal supporter of the Wesleyan body, the following letters, by way of reply, have appeared in the Wesleyan Times of this week, and from the important position both of the gentlemen hold in the Wesleyan congregations of this district we transfer them to our columns, making no doubt that they will be perused with interest by the majority of our readers - Dear Sir,-Would you allow me, through the medium of your valuable journal, just to say that there appeared a letter in the Watchmun [Watchman] of last week, written by the author of 'The Delegates Tested, the Rev. W. R. Williams, of Huddersfield First Circuit, but the position he has therein assumed is so utterly false that I shall treat it with silent contempt. I hope the last Sunday evening's congregation, together with the amount of the July collection made by him that evening, will convince him in what estimation both he and his anonymous pamphlet and letter are held in Hudders- [Udders- Huddersfield] field. -I am, dear Sir, yours truly, Huddersfield, July 17, 1850. Geo. MALLINSON. the Watchman of the 10th inst. there appears a letter from one of the Huddersfield preachers, the object of which is evidently to throw discredit upon the leading characters indeed, upon the whole of the Huddersfield First Circuit, but more especially to disparage Mr. Mal- [Al- Man] n. I feel it due to that gentleman to say, what I am sure he would never say for himself, that he and his family have been the mainstay of this circuit. I have been ollicially [officially] connected with him for upwards of fifteen years, and from what has passed under my own observation (and no doubt his liberality has not been all exposed to my view), I know Wesleyan Methodism has cost him and his family upwards of 3,000 during that time. Tosee [Tose] such gentlemen dragged before the public in such a manner as in 'The Delegates Tested, and in the letter of the Rev. W. R. Williams, the author of both, is painful to the mindsof [minds of] your correspondents, and, I believe, to the whole circle of Wesleyans here. We can better afford to lose half-a-dozen like Mr. Williams than one like Mr. Mallinson. Mr. Williams says his hand trembles while he writes. Oh Huddersfield Huddersfield I dare say it will surprise your readers when they understand, that, through the length and breadth of the Connection, there has not been a more peaceable circuit than the Huddersfield First Circuit during the recent agitations. Nojarring, [No jarring] disputing, or dissensions, has appeared in any of our official meetings. Perhaps Mr. Williams's hand trembles for other considera- [consider- considerations] tions [tins] han [an] the face of his letter would indicate. Probably he felt (if he did not, he ought to have done) that he would damage himself much by wantonly attacking in his Dele- Dale- Delegates] gates Tested, and in his unchristian letter, a gentleman who had many years supported the cause of God through Wesleyan Methodism, both by his purse, and preaching the gospel, and as a class-leader, when Mr. Williams was an infant in his cradle. I can assure Mr. Williams, that many who have not taken an active part in Wesleyan Reform, begin to think that it is high time the local courts had power to deal with young men like him, who not only neglect their duties, but take upon themselves to rebuke elders in such a style as he has rebuked Mr. Mallinson. I give it as my opinion, and I think, if it could be ascertained, I should be found correct, that he has spent more time in compiling this tract, and writing that letter, than he has spent in visiting the sick and other pastoral duties (that he was not compelled to attend to) the whole of the two years he has been in this circuit. Perhaps his hand trembled while he thought how he had been treated in the circuit he was now vilifving. [living] I doubtif [doubt if] in any circuit in which he has travelled his income has been so large, or his house accommodation so good, as in this circuit. Dr. Bunting has not a better house, nor so good a pecuniary income, as this young man, who thus writes about the Huddersfield First Circuit, which has dealt so liberally towards him, while at the same time it was bur- [burdened] dened [denied] with a circuit debt of 500. Nor should it be thought ungenerous of the circuit stewards giving notice, that, if the conduct of the preachers should endanger the present income, they would not continue to add to so large a debt.-I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOSEPH WEBB. P.S.-I fully expect that the Rev. W. R. Williams will have to answer for his anonymous writings elsewhere, not that he will be called upon to criminate himself. We have ample proof that he is the author of The Delegates Tested, a pamphlet differing in nothing from the Fly Sheets but in the title. i THE FIRST NEWS FROM THE ARCTIC EX- [EXPLORING] PLORING [FLOORING] EXPEDITION. - (From the New York Tribune.) . We have been kindly furnished with the following extract from a private letter, written by an officer of the Arctic Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin - United States' Brig Advance, off St. John's, Newfoundland, June 7. Dear Sir,-Our progress thus far has been much slower than I anticipated, in consequence of head winds and heavy weather. In a on the 29th ult. we parted from our consort. This is not a subject of regret, as we shall probably reach our place of rendezvous sooner than in company. . The sailing qualities of this vessel are admirable. We have had several opportunities of trying her speed with coasters and fishermen, and beat them all with ease 3 she will no doubt improve, too, as she becomes lighter. Yesterday we made the southern cape of ewfoundland, [Newfoundland] and at the same time fell in with several icebe [ice be] 3 we have continued to meet them since, and now have at least twenty in sight around us. . The officers and men are all in good health and spirits, and, with myself, are.sanguine as to the success of the enterprise. There is a vessel now near us, by which I hope to be able last. that to forward to you these few lines, probably you will receive from us until the fall. . IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. Thursday, July 25. Several petitions were presented, from various places, for and against the Marriage Bill. PRIVILEGE. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from Byrne, M'Arthur, and Hinde, expressing their sorrow for having committed a breach of privilege in attaching signatures im- [in- improperly] properly to a petition to their lordship's house, stating that they were all poor men, and praying to be discharged. He gave notice that he should to-morrow move that they be called to the bar, be admonished, and discharged. The Stock-in-'lrade [Stock-in-'trade] Bill passed through Committee, MARRIAGES BILL. The Earl of St. GERMANS moved that the order of the day for the second reading of this bill be read for the pur- [our- purpose] pose of being discharged. He hoped that during the re- [recess] cess their lordships would consider this bill calmly and de- [deliberately] liberately [deliberately] without suffering their minds to be prejudiced by the vehement denunciations against this bill, so that early next session they might take into their consideration the recommendation of several most pious clergymen and of the learned members of the commission appointed to consider this subject, and that some such alteration should take place in the law. The Bishop of SaLisBuRY [Salisbury] said that the report of the commission appointed to investigate the subject gave no opinion on the matter. Certainly not one in favour of the bill The Earl of St. GERMAN said the report pointed out the evils of the existing state of the law. The Bishop of Oxford protested against the idea of the Church of England not condenming [condemning] those marriages. The Earl of St. GERMANS explained. These marriages might be celebrated in the Church of Rome by a dispensa- [dispense- dispensing] ticn [tic] from the Pope. The Bishop of OxFoRD [Oxford] said the Pope might, by dispen- [dispense- dispensation] sation, [station] a marriage between a brother and sister. Lord BroucHamM [Brougham] said that argument from the practice of the Church of Rome proved too much or too little, for the Pope might, by a dispensation, enable a man to marry his grandmother. He should seriously consider the subject during the recess. The order of the day for the second reading of the bill was then discharged. Lord MONTEAGLE [EAGLETON] presented a petition, praying for the establishment of steam communication with Australia. The bills on the tabe [table] were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Thursday, July 25th. [the] The House of Commons was engaged at the morning sitting in the consideration of the Mercantile Marine Bill as of the additional clauses and amendments ; and afterwards went into committee upon the Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill, in the clauses of which some pro- [progress] gress [grass] was made, The House re-assembled at five o'clock. CEYLON.-CONDUCT OF MR. WATSON. Mr. BAILLI [BAIL] referring to the letter from Captain Wat- [At- Watson] son which had been read to the house by Lord J. Russell last session, denouncing a proclamation alleged by Mr. Baillie [Bailey] to have been issued by him in Ceylon as fictitious, and respecting which a royal commission has been sent to that island, observed that the commissioners had made a report, now in the hands of her Majesty's government, in which they stated that the signature of Captain Watson to the proclamation had been proved to be genuine by the evidence of persons who had written the copies of the pro- [proclamation] clamation [acclamation] and saw Captain Watson sign them and he in- [inquired] quired [cured] whether Lord J. Russell would lay the report before the house Lord J. RUSSELL replied that the commissioners in Ceylon had made a brief and hurried report te the effect stated, and had promised that it should be followed by a further and fuller report, accompanied by documents but, under the circumstances, he thought it was not his duty to lay upon the table the preliminary report, but to wait fer the further report, and then take into consideration all the circumstances. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Lord Naas [Baas] moved an address, praying her Majesty to order such measures to be taken as will insure the imme- [Mme- immediate] diate [date] establishment of regular steam communication with the Australian colonies. He described the different routes, giving the preference to that which joined the existing lines of communication between Europe, India, and China, at Singapore or Point de Galle. [Gale] The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to consent to the motion, and stated the causes which had hitherto prevented the attainment of an object the advantages of which were great and obvious, and which he was as anxious as anybody could be to accomplish. The preferable route was, undoubtedly, that by way of the East Indies, which would connect the Australian colonies with the East Indies and China. But as there was at present an arrangement with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com- [Company] pany-to [any-to -to] which the East India Company were a party- [party] any alteration could not be effected until the expiration of the existing contract. Sir J. Hoge, [Hoe] with some degree of warmth, complained of the uncandid [candid] and unfair ccurse [course] taken by Sir C. Wood, who had given an ex parte [part] exposition of the correspondence between him and the East India Company. The Chancellor of the Exchequer explained and Mr. Anderson, on behalf of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, replied to Sir J. Hoge. [Hoe] After some further discussion, the amendment was nega- [nena- negatived] tived. [lived] ADMISSION TO ST. PAULS. [PAUL'S] Mr. HuME [Home] called the attention of the house to the regu- [reg- regulations] lations [nations] which restrict the admission of the public to St. Paul's cathedral. Sir G. GREY admitted that it was desirable that the pub- [public] lic [li] should have freer access to the cathedral, and that the restrictions were a grievance, observing that the difficulties of the subject were under consideration, and it might, erhaps, [perhaps] be necessary to obtain the assistance of the legis- [legs- legislature] ature. [nature] The house then went into Committee of Supply npon [upon] the Civil Service Estimates, when various votes were ayreed [agreed] to after considerable discussion, and reported to the house. The General Board of Health (No. 2) Bill was read a third time and passed. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. On the third reading of this bill, Mr. TURNER stated a variety of objections, which, he contended would involve charities in litigation, and increase, instead of diminishing expense and he moved to defer the third reading for three months. Mr. opposed the bill, and especially the making County Courts local tribunals for adjudicating in the cases of small charities. Upon a division the third reading was carried by 96 to 53, and the bill, with some further amendments, passed. Other bills were advanced a stage, and the remaining business having been disposed of, the House adjourned at halt-past two o'clock. ----- Boy DRownED [Drowned] aT DEWSBURY.-An inquest was held on Tuesday, at the Royal Oak Inn, Dewsbury, before T. Lee, Esq., coroner, on the body of William Prince, aged 17 years. It appeared that the deceased, along with several other boys, was bathing in the Calder the day previous, and when one of his companions saw he was in danger he ut out his hand to assist him, but this the declined. Shortly afterwards he was seen to be standing upright in the water with his head back. He was immediately got out of the water, but was quite dead. Verdict, Accident- [Accidentally] ally Drowned. PRICE OF SHARES. FRIDAY, JULY 26. The Share Market during the week has remained in a very sluggish state, and but little alteration has occurred. With the exception of Eastern Counties and Brightons the traffic for the week, as compared with that of 1849, shows a material advance.

CrIcKET [Cricket] Matcu.-THE [Match.-THE] CHRONICLE THE JOB PRINTERS. -This event came off last Saturday afternoon, in a field belonging to Mr. Jos. Brook, bookseller, at Highfields, and the victory was warmly contested, amid the mingled good- [humoured] humoured laughter and plaudits of a select party of friends. The field assembled about three o'clock, and the prelimi- [prelim- preliminaries] naries [aries] having been arranged, the Job Printers ape peared [pared] at the wickets,their competitors manfully fielding out. F.S. Brook, Esy., [Es] of Birkby Lodge, and John Brook, Esq., of Greenhead, kindly acted as umpires. With atew [at] vigorous hits, during which two or three somersaults were thrown in attempis [attempt] to take a catch, the last stump of the Job Printers was lowered for 46 runs. In vain amid the cries of Ball here, and In or out did the Chronicle strive to cover their opponents' score, ant Mr. Fraser went out stick in hand for a total of 28 rms. [ms] They again took the tiell, till, and avoiding so frequent a repetition of gymmastic [domestic] feats, lowered the Job Printers stumps for 20 notches-leaving 38 to win but it could not be accomplished, and the Chronicle, closed their day's sport, their competitors being the winners by 1S runs. In the evening the respective parties took supper at the Spread Eagle together, which was heartily enjoyed. The following is the score - JOBLING HANDS. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings.

THE PLAYERS OF ENGLAND.-A match between the above was played at Lord's grounds, during the present week, when the players scored 148 in the first innings, 65 of which were got by Parr, 25 by Guy, and 24 by Wisden. The gentlemen succeeded in scorim [scrim] s 42 in the first innings and 38 in their second, the plavers [players] thus coming off victorious in one innings by 48 runs. 'Lbs signal defeat is attributed to the indifferent bowling on the part of the gentlemen, who seldom practice this branch of the game with suilicient [sufficient] regularity. They were eynally [equally] at fault in wicket against the fast but straight balls of youny [young] Wisden, which were found as awkward as the slow balls given by the veteran Clarke. a SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
