Brigadier Stevenson , in command of tho Artillery , was all 1 could ivish , and he report * that Brlgadier-Majurs Backhouse and Coghlanaily insisted him . His arrangements were good , and -the esecucutiou done by the army he commands wa 3 such as cannot bo forgotten by those of the enemy who have winicssed and survived it . " To Brigadier Roberts , to Colonol Deanie , who cqBUBaaucd the advance , and to the different- " officers commanding regiments already mentioned , a 3 well as to the other officers and gallant soldiers' under them , who so nobly maintained the honour " and reputation of our country , iny best acknowiedgments are due . -
To Captain Thomson , of the Bengal Engineers , the cliief of the department with me , much of the credit of the success of this brilliant conp-de-nuin is due " . A place of the same strength , and by such simple means as this highly-talented and scientific officer recommended to be tried , has perhaps , never before been taken , ' and I feel 1 cannot do _ sirtGciect justice to Captain Thomson ' s merits for his conduct throughout . In the execution Tie was ably supported by the officers already mentioned ; and so eager were the other officers of tne eugineers of both presidencies for the ho . vur of carrj-ing the powder bags , that the point could 0 dy be decided by seniority , which shoivs thi ; iine feeling by -vrhich ihev are animated .

" The penalty in this case also for non-compliance willi theaci , is ten pounds . : ¦"• . ' ...- - . . - ' ..- . Master Charles Martin deposed that he weut into the defendant ' s house , aud had a glass of ale , for which he paid three-halfpence , auS that he looked all over tho ontsulc front of the liouse , and could not fiud the Tequirod Kotice . . ' .
Sir Gregory Lewdli asked him if ] ie had loolujd all over the house , which he said he hn , d not , nor could he -tell horv many doors there were . , " . Two witnesses vrere called , Trho proTod- that lilr . Hopton _ had his name and calliag oa a door which opened into tho bouse from a puo . 'it thproBghfare ; aud , after a long parley , the case was dismissed , the nvagistrateB being of opinion that the provisious . of the Act were complied with , as it did uot apecify any particular door .. :. Sir Gregory Lcwin then , after quoting tho 18 th George 111 ., c . ID , 31 , applied to Tho Beaaa to grant costs in this ct ? e , as the party had clearly no right to have boeu bron ^ ht there . The nia ^ istratL's concurred , and ordfered costs to be allowed . - ¦ ¦ ¦ . .
Mr . > aylor then asked Atkinson » soomg that he had no chance , all his informations boiiu , ' alike , whether it would not be prudent- to withdraw the others ; but he would not consent . : The next case was therefore callod , and was against Mr . Sadler , in Vicar's Croft , which being precisely similar , tho bonrd being p laceu over ti >< 3 pack door , which opened iutp a publie passage l&ivdiug from one street to auother . Tlio obargo was Uismissed with cost 3 . ' . The " star of tho informer was now getting fairly into tuo descendant , yet ho bore hia- "blushiiig honours" with great dignity . The next chaTge -was against Mr . Reid , of the Coiiee House ., in Boar-lane . -.. . .-
Henry Thomas Jones Moore was again sworn , and deposed that over" the ¦ defendant's door was painted the words , "Licensed retailtsi of a /« and porter , to be drunk on the premises : " the words were written in such a diplhonyish obaractor , that he had great difficulty in deciphering them . ¦ , ' ¦ '•¦ ¦ Sir Gregory Lewin contended , aV great ? ei : jjtlij that ale meant beer , aud beer ale , and it was a folly to suppose that the Legislature ever contended that the strict letter of tho act should be comph ' ed with , its spirit being all that was required . After ¦ a-variety of arguments , on both sides , the informer appearing delighted at the now approach -of a convictioDj the question waB sot at rest by a witness coming forward , who said he was a painter ^
and had painted the words over the defeudaut ' s " door . He swore that these words were , " Licensed Retailer of Beer , " tic , and Atkinson being unable to prove this , the charge against : Mr . ¦ Heid ,. alsV , was dismissed with costs . -The . informer tbeu'suid it wa 3 clear he Avas out of Court , and lie would withdraw the remaining informations , and savp t ! ie costs . This Sir Gregory contended he could not < lo , as it had been called on ; but the magistrates uecided it was competent iu liim to do so , and that they should not allow cb 3 ts in tlio case . J » Ir . Naylor , solicitor , then askpd Mr , Atkinson where he should find him after having got his bill taxed , to which he replied , he was cot going to run
away . It was bcou louud , however , that he liail run away , for , on being wanted , he was iiowhere to be found , and soon afterwards it was"discovered that he had travelled by steam , and was on the railway for Selby . Wo advise parties a * a distance to beware ; for it is evident the trio who have been thus , as it were , hunted out of Leeds , arpperambulatiug the couutry , " seeking whom they may devour . " We have heard that a letter lias been received in Leeds from London , stating that they ara imder assumed names , and that indictments for ;^ rjury are hangnup t > ver them in the metropolis .

THE ; CONVENTIONS AND THE -CORN iAWSj . ¦ ;¦ . OciqpKR 23 ^ The Theatre . was crowded this eveUma , to hear Mr . Duncan upon tlie above subject ke olKiervcd that this was-a moat uh ^ ortant subject , —a sabjett inteiestiiig . to every , working liian . It waa the history of hiimau : fol | y and op . Tession . The evil of the prcScljt Corn Bill was tobefoiiad in every Act of Par liameut in the
passed House xtf Commons : ( Hear ) He shawod that tlibproduce of the s 6 M had ever been the subject of . legis ation . Their first care waa so to regulate productioa , that hi ^ h rents wotiid bo hs 4 The comfort of the people never formed the subject' of an Act of Parliament . The wool trodo in Enda ' nu ^ jfrbi n the tiiue of Henry thp Seventh to dues * Aime ' , was the sourco of rent ; to the laud possessors .: During ¦ thi-su reigns , the people were driven from their ' homes to make way for sheep . The beat arable land in Ennlanrt
was given up to pivsture , although pepplo were dyiue in thousands , for want of food . Wool and skins-wero exported to bruig hi gh : rents to the possesabia of land lo such an extent did this species of : legislation- mo cecd . - . tliut an act had to be passed in tbe rei ^ j of laiiiubeth , giying-a ¦ ¦ right to all who were in want ko have relieMiroiu theyarish ; This wassomo alleviation to bad legislation , although far from a euro to the evU The Whigs of our days glory in advocating the Corn ^ iU , , and abolishing the Poor Laws . Sir . Duncan then enumerated the taxts- upon land produce ' showmg tliat bacon , hains , salt beef ,-spruce 0 ^ leather , butter , cheese , coru . grahi , meal , flour , effes qnions tallow , and . timbtr . paid high duties , when brought from far ciistaiit countriesfor the of
, purpose giviughigh rents to the : lanaiords . . By these laiys our ? rade was greatly destroyed , and all for the benefit of thos » -whom Lord Johu Scott called robbers at the Branxholme dinner . Would theao laws ever have been passed if .- . th& people had had Unrversra Suffra . and AnnuarParliamepte ? ( Xo , no ;) N «! it would not ; yet the anti-Cora Law Convent-on asked tlie people to attack the fortress of corruution without the means to ensure success . This was the logic o £ -the Miadle Class Conveutipn . ; Lbt us see tho i 0 ic of the Working Men ' s Convention . They said tbe Corn Laws are only a part of tlie evil .
