WORSHIP STREET . , As IHFAHOIW ScoUHDBEt . —On Wednesday , Edward Spiller , a middle aged man , of respectable appearance , described as lately a publican , was brought up on a warrant tefoie Mr . Bronghton , charged with violently assaulting his wife , Caroline Spiller , and also conspiring with asother man , now in custody , named Thomas Byrne , to effect a capital offence upon her person . The substanc of the charge against the last-named prisoner was published about a week since , and it is only necessary now to state that the wife , a . well-dressed modesUo nking woman , of 30 , deposed , that in conse . quence of her husband not returning home about a fortnight since , she went to seek him at thehonse of one of Ms relatives , whereshe found him in the company of two prostitutes . This naturally led to Teproaches and nnliappuiess on her part , and threats of personal chastise , mentfrom him . At one o ' clock in the morning of
Tuesday se'night her husband returned home , and expressing his intention to punish her , struck her a violent blow on the mouth , and another in the side , and then forced her Into the street , where she fell senseless , and was picked ¦ op by a policeman , who conveyed her to a . surgeon ' s . Being adviesd by her brother to seek the protection of a magistrate for herself and three children , she did so , and awaited the arrival at home of her husband , until ten at night , when he returned in a state of intoxication , and told her he understoed she had got a warrant out against him , and would do something that she should get a warrant for , at the same time seizing a knife off the table and threatening to stab her to the heart . The prisoner , however , shortly after went out without carrying his threats into execution , and she being afraid to go to bed , laid down with part of her clothes on and fell asleep . About 4 o ' clock in the morning , however , she was awoke by the other prisoner , Byrne , who was lying beside her , with bis dress
unfastened , and pursuing such indelicate conduct as could only indicate an intention to perpetrate the offence alleged against him . She instantly called out for the protection of her husband , who was lying at the foot of the bed , pretending to be asleep , but the latter , instead of displaying any anger at the other prisoner ' s infamous conduct , merely advised Mm to escape , and afterwards , when the wife , who was overcome by her feelings , insisted npon Byrne being taken into custody , denied all knowledge of him , or that he had let him into the house , and positively refused to press the charge . It was sworn that only the Spillers lived in the house , that the streetdoor was fastened before the husband came home , and was also found to be fastened after the prisoner Byrne lad been admitted , and though Byrne at first persisted in the trath of Spiller ' s assertion , he afterwards , on finding the depositions wonld be taken against him , voluntarily acknowledged to the second clerk that he really had been admitted by the husband himself .
notwithstanding this convincing testimony , parti ; corroborated by the policeman , and a strong caution from the magistrate not to allow herself te be tampered with during the interval between the two examinations , the wife now , on her husband and Byrne being brought up for final examination , in an agitated manner expressed her conviction of her husband ' , innocence , admitted that he had promised to be a better husband to her than € rer , besought the magistrate to reflect that he was the fatter of her children , forgave him the 'violent assault tie had committed upon herself , and finally expressed a positive and energetic determination not to appear against him , at the same time wavering and . altering her former testiminy as to render it almost valueless if she did so . Jlr . Heritage having forcibly addressed the magistrate on behalf of his client , Spiller ,
Mr . BfiorcnTov at once ordered Byrne to be full * committed for trial on the charge of a criminal assault , Tdth intent , &c , npon Mrs . Spiller ; but said that with regard to the charge of con piracy against the husband , it would be utterly useless to send him for trial with Byrne , as it wag imposiible to insure a conviction from * ny jury upon the evidence the woman now gave . It ¦ was quite obvious , and he entertained not the slighest doubt of the fact , that Byrne had been admitted into the louse for the worst of purposes , and he could perceive Int very little difference between this case and another
recorded in the State Trials , in which Lord Audley was charged with aiding another person in the commission of a rape upon the person of his lady , and upon conviction of it was sentenced to execution . He regretted the course he was compelled to pursue exceedingly—tiiatof refraining from sending the husband for trial also ; but there was no other open to him , and he could only therefore , to insure the wife ' s future i rotection , order th « - husband to put in good and substantial bail to be answerable for his peaceable behaviour for the next six months .
[ Well might Byron say " man to man eft unjust , is always so to woman . " Such occurrences as that related above , prove that in spite of our boasted civilization , the condition of woman is , as to rights , very little removed from the period when the terms " Baron et femme , " expressed faithfully the relations of the sexes . Until an immense change takes place ia the social position of -women generally , they will always be at the mercy of such lirntet as this Spiller . Law is powerless in their case . Institutions which will free them from helpless dependence for the mere necessaries of life , and consequent -rirtual slavery to all the brutality and caprices of their lords and masters , " are the only cure for this crying « vilj
Important to Members of Fihesdit Societies . — Mr . Caleb Cusack , secretary to the London United Brothers Total Abstinence * Benefit Society , in Aliersgate-street . appeared before Mr . Bingliam to show cause why he had unlawfully excluded an «] der ] v man , named James Sajer , from the benefits of the association . Mr . Vann , who appeared for the complaisant , stated that tlse society had been formed in the year , 1 S 37 , at which time liis client became a member , and punctually continued to pay all his subscriptions until the middle of the year 1841 , when he was
compelled to declare upon the sick list , which entitled Mm to 16 s . per week : hut that sum , as he appeared to lie permanently afflicted , was subsequently redueed to the ordinary superannuation allowance of 3 a . After receiving the latter amount for some time , the managing committee thought proper to discontinue it altogether , without assigning any other ground than that the complainant , at the time ot his entrance , was beyond the age prescribed by the rules for the admission « f members . Such an exception , however , he submitted , was untenable , as the committee were perfectly aware of his age when they entered him on their books .
The secretary . admited that the facts had been correctly stated by the complainant ' s solicitor , but eaid that the association felt themselves creatly aggrieved , by the l = » xity of proceeding on the part of the foundation committee , who . in opposition to their own positive rules , which limited the maximum entranee a ; e to forty-five , bad admitted the complainant at the age of sixty-ene , whieh resulted in a most intolerable burden en the society , the collective amount of his superannuation allowasee and receipts Im-iw ; been upwards of £ 50 . while the cross sum he had contributed to the funds was only £ 6 8 s . 4 d IJe contended , therefore , that inasmuch as the complainant had been improperly constituted a member in tbu first instane . % the present committee were perfectly justified in recurring to the strict letter of their regulations , and refusing to allow him those benefits , to whieh legal members were alone entitled .
Mr- Binghamsaid that the defendant wss entirely mistaken in the law of the ease , as the aets of the managing committee at the coinmencenie&t of the society were iraperatkely binding upon tlieir successors , and the members in general , as long as the association continued in existence . Were that not the case , it would be open to anysoeiety to rescind its own contracts oa the plea of expediency , and thereby escape all liability for its engagements . * Jn this « ase it was acknowled ged that the anounfc of the oomplaraant ' s contributions as a member hadjbeen reeularly received until he claimed the benefit of hissub-Bcnptions , and it would therefore be obviously con trary to every principle of Jaw for the society to take advantage of its own wrong , and exclude him on the giWofan Jlegahty in his original admission 11 . nesiiauon
na-j no . consequently , in making an order f . , J ^ VT ^ " ^ statement inthe S&gSSS ""* whKhLe had *»» -p-The secretary intimated that he did not feel aa tisfied as to the magistrate ' s jurisdicUon , which only embraced such societies as had been forS enrolled under the act ; and although their own Dnnted rules contained a certificate to the effect , he had never seen the enrolment , andafter repeated apphcations to the clerk of the peace , had been unable to procure a copy of it . Mr . Bingham , however , said that the last objection could soon be determined , as he should send ona ot his officers to ascertain the fact , and if it turned out to be so , should certainly enforce the decision he had given .

PAISLEY . On Monday evening , September 21 st , 1846 , Mr . CHBisTor-HEB Doyle , one of the Directors of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , delivered a lecture in the Baptist Chapel , on the principles of the above named society . The spacious edifice was well filled by the gons of industry , and Town Councillor Campbell , a sterling friend to the cauBe of universal right , was unanimously called to the chair , amidst the hearty acclamation of the persons present . He opened the business of the meeting , by first reading the placard , and then stated that the object of the Land Society were not , he believed , well understood by the workmen of Paisley . For his own part , he must state that he did not thoroughly comprehend
them , but he firmly believed they were based upon justice , and that , if properly carried out , would be productive of much good ; otherwise , Mr . O'Connor , the People' friend , would not have propounded them . However , the Lecturer , Mr . Doyle , was there to expound them , and he hoped they would give him a patient and impartial hearing . Mr . Doris upon rising , was received with hearty marks of applause , and when it had subsided , he commenced by calling the attention of his audience to the great importance of the subject ; and then proceeded to develops the present physical and social
condition of the working classes , and proved to a demonstration , that the wretchedness and misery which they now endured , was mainly attributable to the monopoly of the Land—for in that monopoly , wat < absorbed nearly every other . The lecturer next proceeded to explain in the most lucid and forciablr manner , the principles and objects of the Society , and the means to carry them into practical effect , and made an earnest appeal to those who were in favonr of social redemption , to come forward and enroll themselves as members . He concluded a highly instructive discourse , warmly cheered by his audience .
Several questions were asked , to which Mr . Doyle answered , apparently to the satisfaction of the questioners , and the meeting generally . Votes oftfaanks were given to the ' chairman and lecturer , after which several copies of the rules were disposed of .
BRIDGETON . On Tuesday evening , September ' 22 nd ., a meeting was held in the Mechanic's Hall , upon which occasion , Mr . Doyle delivered a lecture upon the all engrossing subject of the Land . Mr . Douohertt , an honest and active member of the Land Society , was elected to the chair , wh ' o opened the business by informing the audience they were called together to hear a lecture from Mr . Doyle , upon the principles of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society . He then stated it was the first time in Mb life , he ever filled the situation of chairman of such ameetingasthe present ; and , therefore , if he committed any blunders , he hoped they would be attributed to the right cause , viz ,, his want of
experience on the one hand , and of ability on the other . He believed the Land Society , of which he was a member , considered in a social point of view , was the most practicable , and the best ca l culated to benefit society , than any other he knew of , either in this country , or any other . Why ; because the objects of that society were—first , to weed the surplus labour market of the system made idlers , and place them on the Land , their Natural Inheritance—their natural element—where by their honest indnstry , they would be enabled to live in comfort and happines , 2 nd . To give them an opportunity of fairly testing the value of their labour in the natural market ( the Land ) with that of those whom they left behind in the artificial market . And thirdly—to prove that the physical and social condition of those working on the land , working for themselves , and themselves alone , would be immeasurably superior to the condition of the
manufacturing operatives , who were at present compelled to toil for the welfare of their tyrant task masters , instead of their own . lie . would say , but very , little more , knowing as he did , that Mr . Doyle would enter fully into the subject , but he could not avoid observing , if the great body of the working communitv , more especially those who belonged to *• Trades Unions" had expended their mones in- forwarding objects such as he had stated , instead of devoting it in thousands—yea , millions , as they had hitherto done in strikes to keep up their wages , the ) would not be in the deplorable condition in which they are at present placed , and of which they complain . Mr . Doixe was then introduced , and was well received by the meeting . He made the Chairman ' s epening speech his text , and delivered an eloquent and argumentative lecture thereon , and concluded highly applauded .
Many questions were asked ; and answered by the lecturer , and after a vote of thanks bad been accorded to him and the Chairman , the meeting dissolved .
ALEXANDRIA , VALE OF LEVEN . On Friday evening a numerous and highly respectable meeting was held in th <> Mechanics Institution , Alexandria , to hear Mr Christopher Doyle expound the principles of the " Land Society . " Mr . James Mclntyre filled the chair , and opened the business in a brief but impressive speech , and then called upon Mr . Doyle to address the meeting . The lecturer ' s speech occupied an hour and a half in the delivery , and was listened to with earnest attention , and at the conclusion he received the hearty applause of his hearers . Mr . Doyle ' s address will be productive of much good in the Vale of Leven , On Saturday evening a Soiree was held in the house of Mr . James Mclntyre , the zealous sub-secretary to the Land Society , at which a goodly number of
Nature ' s Nobles partook ot an excellent tea , and an abundance of choice substantiate in addition , prepared by the worthy hostess , Mrs . Mclntyre , and certainly the liquids and solids were done ample justice to by the company . Mr . James Smith , of Glasgow , ( than whom there is not a more honest and indefatigable friend to the cause of human right ) was called upon to pre side for the evening . As soon as the cloth was removed , the worthy chairman rose , and after thanking bis democratic friends for the honour they had conferred upon him , stated , as it was usual and necessary at such meetings aa the present , to propose a number of Toasts suited to the occasion , he thought they were justified in keeping up to so laudable a custom . He would , therefore , without any further preface , give them
" The People , the only legitimate source of all power , " and called upon Mr . Mclntyre to respond to it . Mr . McInitre made a succinct , but appropriate addrees , which was loudly cheered . The Chairman said it was arranged by the committee that several democratic and other songs should be sung in the course of the evening , and in order that instruction and amusement &ould follow each other , he would call upon their reacted guest , Mr . Doyle , to give them ,. , " Base oppressors leave your slumbers ' — which was sung by that gentleman with great effect , and elicited muck applause . " The O'Cennorville Demonstration song , was next sung by one of the friends , in first-rate style , which was loudly cheered . „ Then followed , " Woodman spare that Tree . The next tost * the Chairman introduced , was the
toast of the evening , viz ., T . " The Charter , may it soon become the Law ot the Land . " , „ - „ , lie called upon Mr . Poyle to respond . Mr . D . s speech occupied forty minutes , and was repeatedly applauded . . , ,, ,,. , Several songs were sung previona to the third toast , and amongst them , .,, __ , , ., " Spread the Charter , " , by Mr . C . Doyle , and the spirit with which it was given had a tbnJIing ^ fect . The Chairman then g * ve , The Charsist Co-operative Land Society , and may success crown the efforts o ( its members . " ...... . Mr Doyle re sponded to this toast , in a speech replete with sound reason and cogent argument . i Many sentimen tal and democratic songs followed the third toast , and Mr . . D . obliged the company with— " Raliy around him .
The Chairman then gave the last toast of the evening— " The Board of Directors , and may they enjoy lon-r life , and continue to be the honest and able advocates of Universal Freedom . " Mr . Doyxe briefly returned thanks , on behalf of his colleagues and himself . A vote of thanks was then given by acclamation to tho Chairman , who acknowledged the compliment paid to them ; after which the company departed , testifying their unfeigned satitaction at the evening ' s entertainment .

FAMINE RIOTS IN IRELAND . PEASANTRY SHOT DEAD BY THE MILITARY . \ Unhappily the patience of the unfortunate Irish is at length exhausted . We have now . before us that most appalling spectacle of national agony—a people driven to desperation by the pangs of hunger , and braving a . violent deith rather than endure the bitter torments of a more lingering dissolution ! After sustaining the direst woes of starvation with a most noble fortitude , after pining in their hovels under an accumulation of all human miseries , penuvy , inanition , neglect , and despair ; and after bearing these extreme sufferings with a meekness and a tranquillity beyond all praise , the labourers of
Ireland have been tasked to the . uttermost limits of endurance , and have now risen against their more affluent neighbours . Towards the conclusion of last week a slight glimmer of the approaching insurrection was observable in the vicinity . of Crookhaven , where a vast concourse of the emaciated peasantry assembled together in the village of Golan , to proclaim that their wretchedness was no longer endurable . The sullen anguish depicted on every one of those melancholy faces is described by an eye-witness to have attested sufficiently the extremity of their distress . "A more appalling spectacle could not be witnessed / ' writes one correspondent . Want and despair were the pervading characteristics of the multitude . That dark oromise of violence and
insubordination has been fulfilled . At the very commence : ment of this week , namely , on Monday morning , the peasantry at Dungarvan assumed such a threatening aspect , and congregated together in such dangerous numbers , that the military were called out—several shots were fired . upon the crowd — many of the starving rioters were wounded , and on Tuesday two of them died from their mutilation ! By the context of this miserable intelligence from Waterford , we are informed that brickbats and other missiles were hurled at the dragoons ; and that notwithstanding the recent discharge of musketry , a dwelling-house at Cappa was assailed , and that knots of the insurgents were scattered over the country intervening between that locality and Cork .
What is this insurrection butt the struggle tor selfpreservation ? . What is it but the outgushing _ of the domestic affections—of that awful and enduring love which is stronger than death ? The peasant has experienced the pangs of inanition himself , yet he has valour enough to continue peaceable and uncomplaining . His household is one nest of misery and destitution—his potatoe-field is a waste of corruption , poisoning the very atmosphere he inhaleshis swine are sold to satisfy immediate cravingshis future is ail poverty—his present existence is one of intense desolation;—still he submits with an admirable fortitude , and reraaing silent and impassive while his very heart-strings are breaking with grief . WHen , however , he sees his children and his wife grown haggard with the duration of their penury ,
and finds no probability of allaying their sufferings by remaining inactive and " biding his time , " his mind is impervious to reason , his heart is hardened against justice , and his arm is nerved by the potency of despair . Factors are hoarding up wheat any barley in their cellars , with the diabolical hope of extorting " famine prices '' in the market—farmers and cattle dealers have their stalls filled with oxen —pigs and poultry are not unplentifully furnished—a resolute heart and a strong hand are alone necessary to feed the starving creatures at home , and the peasantry rush out together into the streets and byeways to seize by violence what they cannot in any other manner obtain . While endeavouring to save themselves and those endeared to them by nature and association they are repulsed by the soldiery and shot like malefactors .

Questionable Loyalty . —It is not often the Court Journalist relates anything worth transfer to our columns , but the following is rather rich in its way . On Thursday a grand cavalcade issued from Windsor Castle ; in the leading phaeton was the Queen and the Princess Royal of Prussia ; and the band ,, which had ceased playing , when the royal cavalcade entered the park struck up the air of " God save the Queen " so vigorously that the horses which drew the Queen ' s p haeton were startled and became reative . The baud , however , still continued play ing ,. nobody , however , attempted to moderate their loyalty until the Queen herself , evidently- in great alarm , rose from her seat , and both by voice and gesture seemed to implore of them to ceaBe . They did so , and remained silent whilst the Queen passed them in safety and no accident ensued , which was forrtunate ,
for the narrow way was so crowded with horsemen and the carriages of unthinking people , so intensely occupied in gazing at the Queen that they forgot her safety , and made it exremely difficult for the royal postillions to wake way through , the throng .- Fie on such slavish folly . ' Why cannot the Queen enjoy a ride in her park without running the risk of having her neck broken ? BTheCabbof Captain Richardson —On Friday Mr Harkson applied to the Court for the discharge of Captain Richardson . He said he had received an intimation from bis Learned Friend ( Mr . Bodkin ) , that it was not intended to present any fresh bill against the prisoner at ^ his session , and he therefore applied for his discharge from custody . The necessary order was given , and Cuptain Richardson was shortly afterwards set at
liberty-The late Fatal Accident on the Eastern Codnhes . Railwat . —On Friday , William Clare , late an engine-fitter and driver on the Eastern Counties Railway , was put on his trial at the Central Criminal Court , on an indictment charging him that he , having the care , management , and direction of a certain locomotive steam-engine on the Eastern Counties Railway , unlawfully drove it against a carriage containing passengers travelling upon the line , and assaulted William Hind , and by the concussion caused him divers mortal injuries of which he died , and that he did thereby kill and slay him . After a lengthy trial , the Jury returned a verdict of ~ Not Guilty . .

-. SUlfHFlELD MARKET . ; . The supply of meatat Smithfield this morning was very large , hut there was a numerous attendance of butcher * - both town andeountry , who took stock freely , and trade , therefore , was sufficiently active to counteract that would otherwise have been the effect of so large a number of cattle appearing on sale . '" Prices ruled exceeding firm , and in some cases a farther advance was ' ' paid . ' The market was well cleared at the close ., Of beasts there were 4 , 110 head , of fair average condition , which commanded a pleasant sale , at much about former quotations ; Prime Scots made 4 s . 2 d . per stone ; being the same as last Monday ; but middling and in ( erlor qualitieg . were 2 d . per stone lower than onHhatlday .

of sheep and lambs were certainly rnot near , so large ; as-: last week—the difference being 10 , 000 less to day , but the number was still , however , large , being . upwards of 30 , 0 o 9 head .

STATE OF TRADE . LEBns . —The markets at the cloth halls have been of the same dull character as those of late , but there continue to be considerable quantities of goods delivered by the larger manufacturers to order ; pieces remain steady .. Business in the warehouse has been rather better thisweek than for some time past . Thera have been a considerable number of country drapers in the town , and thehome trade , has been pretty brisk . Business with the foreign houses continues dull , Manchester . — We havejhad a large business doing in cloth , but at rather irregular rates , caused by the large advance in the staple . There are sellers atlittle or no advance , Jsoina who obtain a trifle over previous rates , whilst other parties refuse to sell at all unless ot corresponding prices with that on the advance on cotton . The nome trade is pretty good , the Irish the contrary . Yarns . sell freely at Jd . to id advance . A large business is doing in low numbers .
Bradford , Thursday . —The demand for combing wool continues the same . The 6 pinners buy with great care , in the hope that wool will shortly be bought at a price more commensurate with that of yarn , Prices continue firm , and no abatement is made . In the yarn trade , business is steady , and prices are fully maintained . Yarns produced from wool combed by machine are in great request , on account of the superiority in olothy softness and other qualities , to hund combed wool . There was not so good an attendance of merchants as on former weeks , but a fair number of pieces , especially coloured Orleans , changed hands . We are glad to see the dyer's carts and waggons better loaded . There is no change in price . HuDDERsriELD , Tuesday . In consequence of the greater part of the manufacturers delivering goods to order , there has not been much done in the cloth hall today . The busiuess transacted has been chiefly in winter fabrics , of which there was a varied choice in thi markst . There is not much alteration in the warehouses during , the week . The fancy department is tolerably active , whilst in some descriptions of goods there is a . slackening in demand .
Halifax , Saturday . We are unable to vary our report of this day ' s market , as recorded in last week ' s , paper . KocilDAliE Fiannel Market , Monday . We hav « had rather less business doing to-day than at last week ' s market , n \\ A prices continue much the same . The ' present should bo the busiest time of the year , as the shopkeepers should bo laying in their winter stocks . There is very little change in the wool market ; prices remain firm , and the manufactures buy for immediate use only . Trade in Nottingham . —The cotton stocking trades is extremely depressed . The glove trade—silk and
cottonis in a very stagnant state , and gives little hope , at present , of permanent improvement . Tho cut system , in almost everv iustance , overwhelms the demaud , the production being much increased by this method , Tho bobbin net trade , in some quarters , is better , but in others ,, worse , it is in a most uncurtain state . The plain-net and . quilling trade made from the rotatory circular-bolt machines is much better than the fancy levers branch . The travcrs warp has become very much depressed in Nottingham and the suburbs , but has slightly improved iu other districts . A new manufacturer of worsted luce from tho warp and bobbin-net frames has gradually come into voguo .
The Warp silk Blond Tbade in Nottingham . —The workmen in this trade have issued a statement representing its degraded position , the average wages not being more than 7 s . a week , and the mauufaatui-ors ( as they say ) gaining scarcely any profit . They attribute this solely to the few manufactures in Nottingham , not more than five or six competing with each other in selling at the lowest prices . They suggest that a small advance , even a half-penny in a dozen yards , upon the article , wholesale , would have the effect of relieving both workmen mid manufactures . - Their statement concludes with , an intimation of a strike for better wages . Leicester . —The demand for regular hosiery goods has not been so brisk , owing to the continued fine weather keepiug the autumn trade backwards . The London wholesale houses are also flat for the time of the year , on tills account , their country customers defering to make their usual purchases at present . Yarns and wools remain without alteration .
Glasgow . —The market is very flat at present for cotton goods generally , iudeed more so than we have seen for a long time . Tho accounts from the East by the mail are ¦ till very unfavourable ; although the money market thoro is rather easier , yriues of goods are not remunerating . We have to notice an improvement in our cotton yarn market , although a slight one , the accounts received by the Iudia mail having given an impetus to our shipping numbers , say from numbers 30 to 70 . Vig iron £ 4 per ton ; bar iron £ 9 10 s . ; nail rods £ 10 10 s . ; boiier plates and ihects £ 13 ; rails £ 10 Ills , to £ 11 . —Glasgow Examiner .
