Bkotbeb Pk oiexarukb , a « M ™« - Circamstaucea prevented me addressing youiQ the last Saturday ' s Star . fh ? i ^ 3 ? ^ enal ) er > «»* m my letter of date ine lota of November , I anticipated that the sentence of transportation for life , nassed unnn TO vat ? nrnnir » ,
tne accused of the " 13 th of June " who were tinder arrest , would also be passed upon those who were absent . It was so . Within twentyour hours of my letter being written the intelligence armed , that on the very day that letter was penned—the loth of November—Ledru Eollin , and thirty-five other Patriots , were also sentenced to tue doom of life-lon «* banishment from their native land . France must , and will , reverse that sentence . To believe otherwise would be to teheve ui her eternal slavery , and everlasW sname . & ^ The band of traitors , robbers , and intriguers who , by fraud and force have usurped the mastery of the Republic , are evidently VZ
ease , notwithstanding that almost the entire list of leaders , teachers , and defenders of the KJople are in chains , or exile . They know that they axe hated by the people , and—uottnthstanding their unscrupulous terrorismthey are in constant dread of a popular explosion . Of this the conclusion of the late trials afforded a signal proof . A foolish custom continues in France of exposing the names of fiiose who are condemned as contumaciousthat is , absent when found guilty and sentenced—upon posts , erected upon a scaffold
This was done after the trials at Bourses ¦ when the names of Louis Blanc , Caussidere ! and others were so exposed in the court of the Palace of Justice . On the occasion of the conclusion of die Versailles trials , the Times correspondent—who is always on the look-out for somethin g to please his worth y employers --announced with greatglee , thatthe names of . Ledra Eollin and his fiiends were to be exposed , as Louis Blanc ' s had been . The exposure should have taken place within three days of the passing of the sentence : but the
tnree days passed and no expostion took place . Then came announcements that there was divisions in the Government on the question of the exposition—some of the Juntabeing apprehensive that if the names were exposed , it would lead to an ovation in honour of the " condemned , " and a manifestation anything but a < ree . able to the ruling tyrants . The President and his Ministers bad more than one " serious deliberation" on the question . At length , on the 20 th , the majority of the lifcnisters plucked up courage , and determined on the exposition of the names , to take place the next day . " The clerks at the Prefecture of Police received orders to prepare the placards
and write , in enormously large letters , the names of the absconded . -The clerks were busily at work , and had nearly completed it , when , about half-na « t twelve © clock , an order was received from the Home Office countermanding the order previously given . " It appears that this sudden reversal of the resolution previously come to , was brought about in consequence of the receipt of certain information that the inhabitants of the Faubourgs intended to make a field day in the event of the exposition taking place . Xext day , the limes correspondent announced that the exposure had been " indefinitely postponed . " It may be remembered that when the names of Louis BLinc , Caussidiere , and others
were exposed , the people showered wreaths of flowers upon the scaffold . A like demonstration would have taken place , had an exposure been mad e of the names of those condemned at Versailles . The cowardly tyrants knew tliat , and , therefore , drank from carrying out the full sentence pronounced by their judicial tools . As Louis Blanc observed—two months ago—" even "—for the persecutors of the Republicans — " the resource of PHori is lost ; the people have buried it under wreatns of flowers . " Simultaneous with the sentences passed upon the patriots condemned at "Versailles , President Buonaparte set at liberty seven hundred of the
victims transported for participatinginthe insurrection of June , ' -13 . Xo thanks to him for his pretended generosity .. Many hundreds of the combatants of June yet linger in the gnllies and dungeons of their conqueror , notwithstanding , that previous to LU election , he led the people of France to expect a general amnesty to take place immediately on his elevation to the post of chief magistrate ; instead of which , his " reign" from the 10 th of December last , has been marked by the unceasing persecution and savage proscription of the faithful defender of the Republic . The liberation of the seven hundred combatants of June , is merely a sop to the people , to induce them to bear with the proscription of the victims just condemned . While I write , the trial
of a number of workmen is going on before the Paris Court of Asiize , on the charge of belonging to a secret society , formed , as alleged , for the purpose of making a new revolution ; and hardly a day passes , but new victims are dragged to prison , and new prosecutions instituted against the press . Of late , however , some of the persecuted patriots brougthbeforethejurieshavebeenacquitted . Several of the Democratic journals have also experienced the same good fortune . In one instance , tliat of the Tribunal de la Gironde , a Republican journal , published in Bordeaux , the Attorney-General instituted three prosecutions against the Editor , for having asserted that the expedition to Rome was a violation of the constitution . The jury returned three verdicts of acquittal .
It is evident that the " special constable , " is at this Tery time plotting desperately hard to get himself made Emperor , or President fo- life . The Paris correspondent of the Times , who has evidently received his instructions , and , either his pay , or the promise thereof , has been writing , day by day , for a week past , with a view of preparing the public mind of Europe for another eighteenth of Brumaire " All men , " says he , " believe in the coup < f etat ; few of the masses speak of it with affright . The
toup d ' etat is everywhere ; it is in the earth , in the sky , and the very air you inhale is full of it . All presage , all expect it , and few seem to be dismayed at its approach ; and however men may differ as to the period , all appear convinced that the period k not far off . " I shall take an early opportunity of returning to French politics , which bid fair to , ere long , assume an aspect of more than ordinary gravity . For the present I must rerert to other topics . the of
The recent commemoration of martyrdom . Robert Blum , testified to the unbroken spirit of German Democracy . At leipsic upwards of six thousand persons assembled in mourning to hear the requiem performed in honour of his memory . At Mayenec , even the steamers hoisted their colours half-mast high . At Cologne , and fifty other places on the Rhine , meetings were held under the black fla ^ s . At Breslaw , it was proposed to establish a Blum commemoration festival . At Berlin more than a dozen Demoeraticclubs assembled in ' their balls , which were decorated with black banners , mourning garlands , &c . Throughout Prussia the meetings were dispersed by the police ,
who , in some instances , used their swords , and wounded the people ; besides arresting a number . "At one of these meetings , " says the correspondent of the Horning Chronicle , " one of the orators designated Blum as a holy martyr / ' and added , " Return each of you to your homes , cast yourselves upon your knees , offer up prayers for firmness and courage : swear , Bwear , a binding oath , by the Wood of this holy martyr , who died for the people , as Christ died for men ' s liberties , that you will live only for the people ' s freedom , and die for it , if required , as they , the sacred triumvirate , Blum , Christ , and Huss , have died . " This the CkroMck ' s correspondent call's " blasphemy . 1
am happy to see that , not withstanding the military terrorism which has reigned for some tune past in Baden , the people are as . determined as ever in the cause of Democracy .

Again England and France permitted tho perpetration of a great atrocity , and , so permitting , shaved the crime .
So also m 184 G , when the last relic of Polish nationality was annihilated , by the annexation of Uacow to Austria , the governments of England and France permitted , and , therefore , shared that crime . True , those Governments affected , to " protest ; but what cared the tyrants for tho wastepaper pellets of Palmerston and Guizot ? Moreover , they knew that those state-jugglers were not in earnest : that their " protests" were not intended to serve Poland , but merely to throw dust into tho eyes of the English and French peoples . Our brethren across the channel have even more reason than ourselves to curse the liberticidal policy of their rulers .

of the Democratic Polish emigration . But the Poles will not forget thatBarbes , Albert , Blanqui , Raspail , and the other victims of tho lath of May , " are suffering in dungeons principally because of their devotion for Poland . Nor will they forget that amongst the entire host of the incarcerated , banished , and proscribed Republicans , there is not one but awaits with impatience the day when the standards of France and Poland shall be seen together on the same battle-field , contending for the overthrow of Russian supremacy , and the salvation of Eastern Europe . A great future is in store for those men ; tlierefore , let Poland hope !
England , too , has her " Men of the Future " men free from the poison of national selfishness , and uncontaminated by the deleterious doctrines of the miserable peacemongers ; men who weary for tho day when deeds shall take the place of words , and sympathy for Poland be no more a sentiment merely , but a practical verity . Courage , then , ye Polish exiles -dear friends and brothers—the more dear to us because of your misfortunes . Despair not . Hope , trust , and believe !

THE GERMAN SOCIAL DEMOCRATS AND THE •« TIMES . " TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN STAR . Sir , —The Times of Friday last contains a letter signed "Anti-Socialist" denouncing to the English public , and to the English Home-Secretary , some of the "hellish doctrines" developed in the London German Newspaper , by a certain Mr . Charles Heinzen , described as a " shining Ugh of the German Social Democratic party . " These " hellish doctrines " consist chiefly of a benevolent proposal for killing , in the next continental revolution . " a couple Of millions of reaetionaires . " We may safely leave it-with you to qualify the conduct of the editors of the Tims , in allowing their
columns to he made the receptacle of direct police information and denunciation in political matters . We are , however , rather astonished to see , in the "leading journal of Europe" Herr Heinzen decribedaa " ashining light of the German Social Democratic party . . " The leading journal of Europe , " certainly might have known that Herr Heinzen , so far from serving as a shining light to the party in question , lias , on the contrary , ever since 1843 , strenuously , though unsuccessfully , opposed everything like Socialism and Communism . " The German Social Democratic party , " therefore , never took , nor is it likely ever to take , the responsibility of anything said or written by Mr . Charles Heinzen .
As to the danger likely to result from the "hellish doctrines" aforesaid , tfte Times might have known that Mr . Heinzen , far from trying to put these doctrines into practice during the last eighteen months of revolutionary convulsions in Germany , hardly ever during that time put his foot upon German soil , and played no part whatever in any of those revolutions . The idea , Sir , of a man who never did any damage even to the most diminutive of German princes , being able to do harm to the gigantic British empire , would be , in our eyes , an insult to the English nation . We , therefore , beg leave to move that the whole matter be wound up by the Times giving a vote of thanks to Mr . Charles Heinzen , for the courage malheureux with which he combated Socialism and Communism . I am , Mr . Editor , Yours , very obediently , A German Social Democrat . London , Sov . SStb , 1849 .

Birmingham , November Uth , ISM . oia , —A determination baring teen come to on the part of the Operative Wire Weavers of Birmingham to resist the encroachments upon tue just and reasonable price of labour , in the shape of discount taken from our wages at the time of payment , which has now reached as much as hfty per cent . ; an entire cessation from work was the consequence , which commenced on the 13 th of October , Vv the men who had finished their work , which continued until all had nmsUed and come out . But as we previouely hud no society for the protectien of the rights of labour , we h » d no funds sufficient to subsist on for one week ; and in the course of our applications to kindred trades for assistance , we came acrost Mr . Holmes , of the Wire Drawers Society , who referred us to your excellent representative , Mr . Green , for counsel , advice , aud mediation ; and it affords us the greatest pleasure to stut « that he commenced his exernons on our account on the 6 th instant , aud has been , as \
opportunity offered since , unremitting in his endeavours to obtain for us our rights . We occupied the whole of his attention one day from daylight till dark ; and his frequent addresses to our men has been attended with the eruatcst success , for they have produced a perfect unanimity of purpose and action , so that his knowledge imparted to us , as well as his interviews with our employers , has elicited universal approbation ; and the plan vse are at present adopting is quite in accordance with his recommendation . " ^ ^ J ^ « ° Py fie rules of your association , and we tola him to consider us as prospective members of the national Association of United Trades . I should have posted to you before , but I had a reasonable hope every day ot being able to have reported to you an account ' o * f his wgnal success . Eleven out of thirteen of our employers have advanced the wages of their men to the net price , and we are quite satisfied that his talents and exertions deserve the other two , and as we sliall follow Ms advice we are enrt to have the net price ef them also . .

To Mr . Wm . Peel , Secretary , &o . * ' ^ SCCreta 17 - The Central Committee have deemed it their duty to publish these letters as the best answer to those vho would desire to depreciate this movement by affecting to throw doubts upon its efficacy or capability in conferinj ? benefits upon its members , fliey believe the working men of England , and the Metropolis in particular , have committed a grievous eiTor to themselves , and to the interests of their less fortunate fellow-men , in so long withholding their support from the National Association of United Trades . Its claims upon the working men are based upon its practical utility . The great advantages it offers are sdbstastiai , phactical , and immediate . It does not interfere or supers ede any other movement , but supplies that invaluable aid to
lrades when in difficulties , which , no other society is capable of affording . The secret of its power is the justness and reasonableness of its principles , and the steadfastness and integrity with which they have been maintained , tbrougb evil report and good report . It may not be as showy as some of its contemporaneous rivals for public favour , but it carries with it areality and stability which time and experience can alone confer upon any movement . The Central Committee are as satisfied of its ultimate success as they are of the soundness of its principles , -which have been proved and tested through the ordeal of six Conferences of Delegates in various parts of England , . and five years of practical working . These are its claims for ' the support ' of the working men ; " Let them , then , judge of the tree by its fruits . "
The Central Committee beg further to report , that the letters received from Mr . " Itobson , ( who is now in the centre of the silk manufacture in Cheshire , ) are equally cheering and satisfactory . Iu Congleton there is every prospect of a thorough reorganisation of the Weavers and Throwsters ; and the Ribbon Weavers ( a well-organised body , ) appear also favourable to the movement , as the means of adding to their present organised power . In Macclesficld , Mr . Robson met with a sincere welcome from several old members and friends of the movement , which received much obstruction from a local society—the "Rights of Industry "—about two yeara ago , ; but that powerful society no longer exists , nor has any other organisation been maintained ; but a . local board of trade has been established , consisting of twelve master manufacturers
and twelve working men , to whom all trade disputes are submitted . This excellent arrangement worked admirably for a time , or so long as there was an organised body at the back of the workmen ' s delegates , but with the apathy and gradual secession of the members from the society , the power of the delegates was diminished ; the masters began little by little to encroach , until , at the time of Mr . Robson s arrival , a consultation was being held upon the altered and unfavourable position of the Labour Board . Mr . Robson at once pointed to the true cause of the master ' s encroachments , —the want of moral power behind , to give weight and support to their representatives upon the board . These views were considered important , and it was resolved to call a meeting to take the whole subject into co » sideration . Wm . Peei , Secretary .

METROPOLITAN TRADES' CONFERENCE . On Wednesday night an adjourned meeting of the Conference of Metropolitan Trades' Delegates was held in the Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , Fitzroy-square , to discuss the propriety of establishing local boards of trade for the regulation of wages from time to time in their respective trades and districts , Mr . Seagrave . tailor , iu the chair . Mr . J . L . Ferdinando said the reason why he brought forward the question was , that the Association had put forward two plans for the amelioration of the condition of the working classesnamely , home colonisation and local Wards . The Conference had attended to the first objectbut
, had so far neglected the other . Without undervaluing the importance of home colonisation , he was prepared to say that the metropolitan trades were deeply interested in the question of : local boards of trade , and fully approved of them . . Local boards of trade were in themselves utterly opposed to the philosophy of the Manchester school of economists , and , indeed , he believed that Conference had no sympathy with the views of that party . He contended that to bring the working classes—the productive classes , whether manufacturing , or agricultural , or handicraft , into competition with the comparatively untaxed labour of other countries , was gross injustice . ( Hear , hear . ) While the people of this country were burdened with a such excessive
taxation , it was impossible for them to contend against the cheaper labour of other countries . He said this without fear of being called a Tory . In the silk trade this season tnere had been a very large increased demand , but the working weavers had reaped very little benefit from it . In some cases an advance of threepence a yard had been made , making perhaps an increase of Is . 3 d . a week to the weaver . The masters had the lion ' s share of the benefit . ( Hear , hear , ) This system of unrestricted Competition bad not always existed in this country . In the old times—tho good old times they had been not untruly called—under a protective policy the working classes could enjoy such substantive tliiiigs as beef , bread , and beer , instead of the unsubstantive flops they had now to exist upon . He held that the government were bound—not to employ all who might want work , but at least—to provide facilities by which all willing mid able to Inborn * might secure
a fair subsistence . He did not mean to say that local boards of trade would do everything , but they would do a p eat deal . Perhaps the bo-t thing lie could do would be to read them a tew extracts from a Bill which had been prepared for the Spitalfields silk trade . With a little alteration it might be adapted to every trade in the country . It empowered the Board of Trade to issue orders , directing the master manufacturers and operative handloom weavers to meet in their several districts , within fourteen days from the date of the order , and provided that at such meetings six employers shall be elected by master manufacturers only , and six operative weavers by the workmen only . Each party to be elected by show of hands at the respective meetings . When the boards thus elected we duly constituted , they shall meet quaiteily , and consider the wages to be paid to the operative hand-loom weavers for the various descriptions of silk weaving within their respective disti icts ,

As he had alread y said , he bolieved if it was referred to a committee of delegates , it micht be adapted to every trade in the country . In his own trade he found very > any masters
manufacturers favourable to the principle of local boards ; they felt that it would abate one evil at least , to which they as well as the men were liable , namely home competition . Without such a regular power no stop could be put to the injurious conduct of those unprincipled manufactures who cut down prices by their reckless speculations and forced sales . He was sorry to have heard some of the delegatees say that local boards were a piece of hum-$ ' VT ? Vl hcar *) He could assure the delegates who called . " Hear hear , " that the subject had not been considered " humbug" by a numerous Conference of Delegates in 1845 , from all parts of the country-whafc wascillod the " Buncombe Conf
erence , -although this question was then a new one it was only lost by two or three votes , ne ;\ rlv forty delegates having voted for it . Since that time the trades had mere fully considered it . and he believed a strong opinion now existed in its favour . He begged to move that a sub-committee of five delegates be appointed to draw up a Bill for the establishment of local boards of trade . Mr . Read ( baker ) said tho question brought beforethe meeting by Mr . Ferdinando , was , in his mind , second to none that could come before them . He had , therefore great pleasuro in supporting the motion , and thanked tho mover for having < li-Sect attention t ° s « ch an important
.. Mr , LfisuEmoved , as an amendment , that the decision he adjourned till the next meeting , in order to give their trades time to couslder a question of so much importance . Mr . Wilson , earnestl y advised that the further consideration of boards of trade had better be deferred until the bill for home colonies was fairly broughtbeforo Parliament . Mr . Wilson concluded by moving an amendment to that effect . Mr . Esseby seconded the amendment . Mr . Read did not see that the preparation of a liul for local boards by a committee , would interfere with the progress of the Bill for Home Colonies .
Mr . Campbell did not think it advisable now to alter their arrangements . At the same time he considered they would only be doing justice to the mover , and to the Conference itself , by declaring their conviction that protection to trade was a jnst and beneficial principle . . Mr . Lkelib withdrew hia amendment in favour of Air . Wilson , and Mr . Fbrdinando briefly replied .. The Chairman put the motion and amendment to the meeting , and declared tho amendment to be earned by a majority of four . Tho meeting then adjourned to the 23 tu of December .

FOREIGN INT ELLIGENCE fFrom our Tltinl Edition of last we « ltj FRANCE . —Paris , Thurbday Evening . — Without a very lengthened report it would be impossible to give an . idea of the sitting of yesterday in the Assembly . The tumult was avowedly originated by a member of the Riqht . M . Segur d'Aguesseau having got leave to occupy the tribune without any right , proposed simply , and by way of insult to give pensions to the gendarmerie who had resisted the people in February , 1848 . M Secur after firing this kind of shot , retired to his seat ' and enjoyed himself in loud laughter at the hubbub which ensued .
The republican andthe Left side of the Assembly of course rose in disgust and rage , lei all that it asked was , that the President should call M Seirur to order . President Dupin , however , would do no such thing . Hereupon , M . Baune rushing to the tribune , declared that the President acted thft pavt of procureur-gcneral of the majority , but nerer that of advocate of the minority . For thus speaking this homo truth , not half so outrageous as the insult of M .. Segur d'Aguesseau , tho Assembly inflicted a censure upon M . Baune . Several duels have taken place . One alone lias proved fatal , M . Pierre Bonaparte having , it is said , shot M . Xavier Darrien , of the Temps

Sheriff Kicoll , Under-Sheriffs Millard and Wire , and the other civic authorities , entered the court . The Recorder , in delivering his charge to the grand jury , said that the calendar contained the names of 184 prisoners for trial at the present tession , and that number would probably be increased to somo extent by fresh committals during the performance of their duties .

Swan , and at the time of the bankruptcy , he was found to be in tho occupation , as lessee , of a small house at Mortlake , called Park Farm , and from some information that was received by the assignees , it appeared that they were induced to come to the opinion that this
possession was merely a colourable one , and that the property in question belonged to the bankrupt . —In consequence of a reward otfered by the assignees , a person named Iloking gave information , and Bishop was summoned to give evidence at the Bankruptcy Court on the loth of June last , when he swore that the farm was his own property , and that he had purchased the lease for £ 299 . —A number of witnessses were examined , the effect of their testimony being to show that tho defendant was engaged as a gardener , and that he appeared to he in poor circumstances , and that he had stated upon several occasions that the farm was not his , and that he was paid 20 s . a week for taking cave of it for Mv . Swan . It appeared , however , in the course of the
ease , that the defendant had always strenuously insisted upon his ri g ht to the property , in the courso of the legal proceedings taken by the assignees , and upon a messenger from the Court of Bankruptcy being put iii possession , he resisted the attempt to take that step , and brought an action of trespass , and recovered a verdict with £ 25 damages , a rule , however , having since been obtained for a new trial . —The witnesses who spoke to the declarations alleged to have been made by the defendant with regard to the ownership of the property wero subjected to a very rigorous cross-examination by Mr . Ballantine , and two of them admitted that they had each been guaranteed five per cent upon the amount of the properly , jf it should be
recovered by the assignees and sold . —Mr . Ballantine then made an energetic address to the jury on behalf of the defendant , and the Recorder having summed up , the jury , after a very short deliberation , returned a verdict of " Sot guilty . " Receiving Stolen Goods . —Jacob Vandenberg , 36 , a dealer , who surrendered in court , was indicted for receiving a quantity of property , kno w ing it to have been stolen . —It appeared that on tho morning of the 22 nd of September a portion of the premises , belonging to Mr .

Suspicion falling upon a man named Jones who had been in their ment

P'y f . morning , and at seven p cloak took it to the prisoner ' s shop , who , at a later period in the day , advanced him Gs . on it .-Several police-constables of tho district where Vandenberg lived , gave him a good character , and said that he , had been upon many instances the means of their obtaining convictions against thieves who had brought stolon goods to his shop .-The jury found tho prisoner " Guilty , " and he , to < reher with Jones was sentenced to twelve monthY imprisonment and hard labour .
Uttering Bad Coin . —The greater portion of Tuesday was occupied in . try ing prisoners for passing bad mone , and the charges were of the ordinary character . The principal titterings were to licensed victuallers , and m several instances the prisoners had gono together in gangs , one of the party remaining outside with tho base coin in bulk , whilst the others went into several shops , and successive utterings were effected . In ono or two instances the prisoners were sentenced to six months' imprisonment , but the remaining portion were ordered to be imprisoned for various terms upwards to twelvemonths . f

the prisoner followed him , and threw some flour over him . He immediately called a policeman , and gave the prisoner into custody for the assault , and he was taken to the station-house , where he w » s searched , and the gloves , measure , and handkerchief , which he found had been taken from the pocket of his coat , wore found in his possession ; and , upon tins , he charged the prisoner with felony m stealing theso articles .

house , or tliat he took off his coat to fight . He said , however , that he was insulted , and he beat one of the parties with his cane .-The constable who took the prisoner into custody stated that , upon his taking the measure from his pocket , he said that lie had picked it up ; but he said he did not hear him give any explanation with regard to the other articles . —Several witnesses were then examined , from whose evidence it appeared that the . prosecutor was drunk when he went into the public-house , and that he quarrelled with an old man named Moore , and took off his coat to fight , and at last beat Moore with his cane . —The Recorder summed up , and the Wl immediately returned a verdict of "Not uuiity .

Passing Basb Coin , —Mary Anne Hughes , ]?• and Elizabeth Homen , 23 , two notorions utterers of base coin , were convictod of that offence , after a previous conviction of the same character , and they were sentenced to be transported for seven years . Robber * to k Cokfidektul Clehk . —Benjamin Hopkins Bond , 29 , a person of gentlemanly appearance , was indicted for stealing £ 70 , the monies of Messrs . Currc and Co ., bankci' 3 , his employers . The money stolen , in different counts , was alleged to have consisted of sovereigns , half-sovereigns , crowus , half-crowns , florins , shillings , and sixpences . —It appeared that the prisoner , who had been eight years in the service of Messrs . Currio and Co ., filled the confidential position of one of
the cashiers , and on the 10 th of October , the clerk of Mr . Elley , a stockbroker , paid to him a sum of £ 2 , 0 G 05 s . 7 d ., which was made up of cheques , and a sum of £ 145 in notes of the Bank of England , It was of course the duty of the prisoner to have p laced this amount to the credit of Mr . Elley ; but it would appear thai ; although he did so nominally , yet b y a very artful contrivance he succeeded in applying £ 70 of the sum to himself . The robbery appeared to have been committed in the following manner . The prisoner duly entered all the cheques and other securities , but instead of placing the sum & 145 of that had been paid in notes to Mr . Elley ' s credit , he only gave him credit for £ 75 , and represented that the remainder was made up by a draft upon Messrs . Brown and Co ., who are bankers at
Leeds . According to the custom of the bank , tho prisoner placed a sort of memorandum referring to this draft in a drawer appropriated to that purpose , and thus of course the balance appeared correct when the books were made up , at the close of the day . It then appeared that the notes forming the remainder of tho £ 145 were changed by the prisoner as he represented for customers of the bank , bo that the identical notes paid in by Mr . Elley still remained in the possession of the bank , but of course there was no evidence what precise description of coin had been taken in exdhange . It turned out that there was no aucli draft in existence as the one represented to be upon Messrs . Brown and Co ., and , from the inquiries that was set on foot , suspicion fell upon the prisoner , and tho present charge waa eventually preferred against him . "

P ., to tho peerage , consequent upon the death of his father ( Lord Dyuevor , ) has pvtt : both political parties on the qui vive , and a severe contest is anticipated . A general feeling of regret has been caused bo the loss of Mr . Trevor as the representative of the county , asthehon . gentleman , has for many years devoted the whole of his time and attention to tho advancement of the interests of his constituents . No official intimation has as yet been given by tho leaders of cither partio as to the candidates to whom they will give thetr support , but there is little doubt that the Protectionist party will start Mr . David Jones , of Pontglas , an extensive landowner in the county , and who contested
unsuccessfuly with Mr . Dyce , Sombre , the representative of Sudbury when that borough returned a member . On tho other hand , it was confideBtly asserted , that the Liberals will start Sir James Hampaen "Williams , of Edwinsford , near Llandilo , a gentleman who lias on former occasions stood against tho Protectionist interest . The lion . G . Rice Trevor ( now Lord Dynevor , ) who retires , as for some years past acted as deputy to his father in tho lord-lieutenancyofthe county , and will , it is confidently expected , succeed to that office . He proved nimself a most active magistrate during the Rebecca riots , when , on account of infirmity , his father was unable to perform his arduous duties . He is also President of tho Society of Ancient Britons , which office ho will retain . The day for tho nomination is not yet fixed .

" The law n
question was avowed to be the Game Law , andthe bait held out . to tempt poor labourers to violate ' the law is that they shall be paid as much money whilst undergoing imprisonment for poaching as they would have obtained by the exercise of honest industry . "The entrance is 2 s . 6 d ,, the weekly contributions Is ., the allowance th « same as the captured and convicted earned when in work !" It must be admitted that this is methodical and business-like , whatever opinion may prevail as to the legality or morality of the proceedings . —Times .
