SHERIFFS' COURT. CROWN EXTE;:I37-1101PAOi - 0; THE SALISDURS BANR.—THE QVREN O. BRODIE —On Saturday afternoon • jure was specially empanelled to ascertain in what amount this defendant, who is a banker at Salisbury, was indebted to the crown for monies deposited on account of the militia and excise departments.—The Under-Shcriff, after reading the writs, said that thy present proceeding was instituted for the purpose of enabling the officers of the crown to attach the property of the bank in liquidation of the claims without further delay.--An affidavit, sworn before Mr. Justice Erle, was then put in, in which it was stated that a sum of 971. had been paid into the bank on account of the militia ser via ; that the bank having stopped payment, there was pod season to believe that the defend►nt win insolvent. — 'The Under-Sheriff said that this was the only evidence, and the jury would give • verdict for 971.—The collector of ex cise for Salisbury was then called, and proved that sundry autos of money had been paid into the bank, and that there was • balance now due, on account of the excise department, of 2791.—The jury gave a verdict for the said sum. SOAP DUTIES.—A third inquiry took place as to a debt due to the crown by a soap manufacturer, at Liverpool, for duties. Evidence was then adduced, and • verdict given for the amount proved to be due, 5,0001. 3s. 3d. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. Before D. C. Moy EN-, Judge. THE ROBBERY' OP PLATS 1N MADDOX-STREET.—ED WARDS O. TRAFFORD, ESQ.—IC will be in the remem brance of our readers (for the ease has already been twice or thrice before the court) that this was an action to recover the mm of 20!., in the form of damages, for the injury alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff and his wife by means o the false imprisonment to which they had been submitted at the instance of the defendant —Mr. Trafford, the defendant, occupied a house in Maddox-street, Hanover-square, and the plaintiff and his wife were his butler and housekeeper. During the absence of the defendant and his wife there was • robbery of plate, to the extent of 1,0001. in value, and after some time the plaintiff and kis wife were taken into custody on suspicion. Having been taken before the magistrate, they were remanded, but on being brought up the charge was diamissed. It was for this imprisonment that the present proceedings had been instituted, with a view to the recovery of restitution in the shape of pecuniary corn. pensation. Further evidence was cn this occasion adduced, for the purpose of showing that the defendant had good, suf ficient, sad reasonable ground for placing the plaintiffs in custody. Amongst those who were examined was Inspector Beresford, who stated that in consequence of information he, received, he, in June last, made a report to the commis sioners of police to the effect that the house of the defendant, No. 14, Maddox-street, had been left without any person to protect it. The commissioners thereupon, by • written communication, apprised the defendant of the fact, and directed his attention thereto. To this communication the defendant wrote a reply, bearing date the 23rd of June. This letter was now read, and was to the effect that having, on a previous occasion, when absent from town, left two servants in the house, whose conduct they had had reason to believe had not been correct, they had deter mined, on their next going from borne, that they would not leave any persons in the house ; that on their return, in that for mer instance, they had found that abed, bolster, and pillows had been robbed of the feathers, and having been then tilled with • different quality of feathers, had been sewn up that a bag containing these feathers had been found in the possession of the present plaintiff and his wife; but although these ser vants were consequently under suspicion of dishonesty, yet, from circumstances, the defendant was csnstrained to keep them in his service till the expiration of the month's notice. The letter then went on to request that a policeman might be deputed to watch the premises, and added that the ex pense of such an arrangement would be cheerfully paid by the defendant —Mr. Wordsworth then contended that there bad been a sufficiency of evidence produced to justify the apprehension of the plaintiff.—Mr. Dod, on the other hand, argued to the contrary, and said that the fullest amount which the court could award would be but • meagre compen sation for the injury the defendant had inflicted on the plain tiffs.—The learned judge said he would look through the additional evidence, and give judgment on Mendes , (this day), at ten o'clock. ATTORNEY'S PRIVILEGED.— JVHONIENT.— WOOD O. Liwis.—This was an action to recover 71. 10s. of defendant, an attorney, residing in Grosvenor-street, who plesaled his privilege.—Mr. P. Bsnkes appeared in support of the de fendant's case and plea of abatement, and Mr. Hildyard for the plaintiff. —Mr. Bank,' addressed the court at consider able length, contending that the 67th section of the new act for the recovery of small debts did not destroy the privilege of attorneys of their right of being sued in their own courts, as they were not specially mentioned in it, which was re. *mired, as they nude' not came under the designation of persons." A great number of cases were cited.—Mr. Mild yard commeafted his argument, but was stopped by the learned judge, who gave the following important judgment The Judge said If I thought that any additional labour ofmy own could throw any light on the matter, I,would post pone my judgment for farther consideration. But the case ku been so fully argued by defendant's counsel, that I feel satisfied no further research could put it in a more favourable point of view for him, and I may, therefore, at once state my opinion and judgment upon the question. This action is sought to recover 71. 10s. for goods sold and delivered. The defendant Lewis, relying on his common law privilege as an attorney, denies the jurisdiction, and demands to be sued in the superior court to which he belongs. The plaintiff replies that the privilege is abolished by the 67th sec. of the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 95. lam clearly of opinion that the privi lege Is gone as te attorneys, without any reservation ; and, moreover, that the rights and privileges of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as of the Stannaries of Cornwall (as to exemption from the county courts jurisdie thm) would have been likewise abolished but for the saving chums (140 and 141) of our own act. It is quite true that not only attorneys , but all the ministerial o ffi cers of justice, bad • privilege of suing and being sued in the warts to which they respectively belonged. If it was not the intention of the legislature to abolish by the 67th section this kind of privilege, what on earth could have been the in- teation ? But lam utterly at • loss to conceive bow Lux , gauge mote plain or express could be used in carrying out , this - intention. The 67th section is is these words And be it enacted, that no privilege, except as hereinafter ex cepted, shall be allowed to any person to exempt him from the jurisdiction of any court holden under this act." In the subsequent clauses (140 and 141) these exceptions are set oat, and no mention is made therein of the common law , privilege, by vistue of which Mr. Lewis now claim. hie exetion—Erpressio souses est =hail) alterina. With rugged to the numerous cases to which reference has been made I cannot find that any of them go beyond this point, that without express words of enactment, the then existing , privilege of an attorney or ministerial officer of a superior court, could not be discharged. These express words are, in my judgment, to be found in the 67th section of the act. Most of the cases referred to in support of the privilege seem , to me to have little immediate bearing on the question now before the court. Some turned upon the distinction between an attorney plaintiff and an attorney defendant, as in " Board e. Parker ' (7 East, 48), and " Elkins v. Hard ing" (1 Cr. and J., 345). In other cases, as in " Lewis e. Herr" (5 Dowling, 447), and in "Dyer and Levy " (4 Dowling, 632), the question was, whether the 2nd Will. IV., cap. 39, called the "Uniformity of Process Act " took away the old common law privilege. It was held in those eases that • new form of process was prescribed in lieu of the old mode of proceeding by bill ; that the attachment of privi lege_was abolished, not the privilege itself : In the ear of Wiltshire e. Lloyd " (1 Douglas, 380), it was question less held that an attorney claiming his privilege was not liable to be sued in the Middlesex County Court. In order to know the value of that decision, and discover its applicability to the se the it is req u isite to refer to the ad constituting the Middlesex County Court, the 22d Geo. 11., can. 33. I find that the fourth section of that act says, "No person shall be liable to be summoned to the County Court who was not so before." Not • word is to be found in the act about privilege, which it leaves exactly where it was. In that case during the course of argument it • was stated that the legislature had found it necessary to passe woad act for the ataMishment of the Westminster Court of Requests (24 Geo. 11., cap. 42), merely because it was found that attorneys were not included within the jurisdiction by the general words used in the first act (23 Geo. 11., cap. 27). It is true that in the second act the privilege is specifically abolished, but the preamble merely declares that " doubts had arisen whether attorneys were, even under the general words of the first statute, subject to the new jurisdiction." The legislature merely intended to set all those doubts at rest. Ido not think that argument could go further. To return, however, to the case before me. The plea in abate ment is what in law is called an " odious plea," and wholly disentitled to favour. If any serious doubts could exist, f ..7 1 ":::./ . arott abed, whilst treating 0 ", "orivilege in his Hie. Wry of the Common Pleu (pago2o9 ), lays down this prin ciple—. Whenever an attorney is impleaded out of his own court, he shall say that he is an attorney of another court. But this is to be understood only when the plaintiff can have the same remedy against the officer in his own court ax in that where he sues him." Now, let us see what the inevitable practical effect would be of uphold ing this privilege of exemption in attorneys. Would it not, in fact, amount to an absolute denial of justice? So far as attorneys are concerned, the title of an act should be amended, and called " an act for the more difficult reooveof small debts." The 129th section of the 9th & 10th V ic., cap. 95, is in these words :—" And be it enacted, that if any action shall be commenced of the pasting this act in key of her Majesty's superior courts of record for any cause other than those lastly hereinbefore specified, for which a plaint might have been entered in any court holden under this act, and a verdict shall be found for the plaintiff for any sum less than 201., if the mid action is founded on contract, or lees than 51. if it be founded on tut, the said plaintiff shall have judgment to recover each sum only and no 0041; and if a verdict shall not be found for the plaintiff, the defendant shall be entitled to his costs, as between assiwasy sad client, unless in either ease the judge who shall try the cause shall certify on the back of the re eled that the action was fit to be brought in such supe r/se court."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD CM: RT.—Wore Mr. Jo.t!ce cresswell. CHAROK OP MANSLACOHTEII. IV. J. Clifton SHITtn• dered to take his trial upon an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of his wife, by inflicting a mortal injury upon her person by a kick. The prisoner was a printer, and resided with his wife in Beecham-street. They lived on good terms, except upon ow-snores when the wife got in toxicated, and this unhappily very frequently occurred. Upon the evening the unfortunate occurrence took place the deceased was very drunk, and when they were going to hive supper she drank a quartern of gin and also all the supper beer, and upon the prisoner remonstrating with her she abused him in groin terms, threw a poker at him, and also struck him ; and it seemed that the prisoner while ' under the excitement naturally occasioned by such con duct inflicted the injury in question, hut it was pretty clear from the evidence that the kick was intended not to occasion any material mischief, and that the fatal injury was to a certain extent the result of aceident.—The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him most strongly to the merciful consideration of the court on account of the great prevocation he had received.—Mr. Justice Creswell sentenced him to one month's hard labour. FORGERT.—C. C. llicds, who was convicted on Thursday of uttering a forged order, was arraigned upon an indictment for misdemeanor under precisely similar circumstances. He was found guilty ; and it appeared there was another charge of forgery against him. He was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for one month upon the conviction for misdemeanor, and at the expiration of that period to be transported for seven years upon the other indictment. CONVICTION UNDBR rue BANKRUPTCY ACT.--42. ton, whose conviction under the Bankruptcy Act was re ported on Saturday, was then placed at the bar. The pri soner was indicted for felony, in not having surrendered upon the day appointed for his final examination, and the indictment charged that his neglecting to do so was with an intention to defraud his creditors. No evidence, however, was offered to support that portion of the indictment, and the jury returned a special verdict, finding that the prisoner did not appose before the court as alleged, but that there was no evidence of there being any intention on his part to defraud his creditors. The learned Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Crewmen intimated at the time that they should consider the question, and give an opportunity to the prisoner's counsel to move the court in arrest of judg ment if they should consider it necessary.—Mr. Justice Creswell now said that the learned Chief Baron and him self had further considered the point with regard to the statute, and also to a decision of Lord Chief Justice Denman and Mr. Justice Pattison upon the same question. Every section in the statute contained the words " With intent to defraud ;" and it seemed clearly to have been its intention that penal consequences should ensue only upon that intent being proved. The indictment also alleged the prisoner's intention to be to defraud his creditors, and as by the terms of the special verdict, the jury found that no such intention was proved, the court was of opinion, in concurrence with the decision of the Lord Chief Justice, to which he had referred, that the indictment had not been supported, and they therefore felt it right to give judgment for the prisoner. The prosecutors would of course have the right to move for a writ of error upon the special verdict.—Ordered to be discharged. BURGLARY AT THE EARL OF LISTOWZI:E.—J. Lerrrs, aged 20, was indicted for burglariously breaking into the dwelling-house of the Earl of Listowel at Knightsbridge, and stealing some silver spoons and other articles, the pro perty of one of the servant, in the establishment.—The prosecutor occupies Kingston House, Knightsbridge, and the robbery in question must have been committed by three persons, as footsteps of that number were found in the garden. The thieves made their way to the housekeeoer's room, from whence they stole some silver spoons and a purse containing silver. The prisoner was clearly proved to be one of the depredators, by the fact that he and two other men were seen close to Kingston House on the night of the robbery ; tbat his shoes fitted exactly the impressions upon the mould in the garden, and a button that was picked up was found to be miming from the coat he had on when taken into custody.— He was found Guilty, and there being a previous conviction for felony against him he was sentenced to be transported,for 10 /ears. CONCEALMENT or CHILD-BlRTH.—Matilda Horton, who was convicted on Friday of concealing the birth of her child, was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. Her father, who was acquitted on that occa sion, wee tried before the Common Serjeant on Saturday upon another indictment for concealing the birth of the Name infant, and, upon his conviction, was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for twe years. THIRD COURT.—Before the Common Serjeant, Alderman Musgrove, _ and Mr. Sheriff Hill. _ _ RITENBITE ROBBERY or PLATB.—Frank Auger, 21, described u a porter, Henry Tarim% 21, a servant, and Elizabeth Auger, 42, widow, were indicted—Parlour for stealing plate to the value of between 2001. and 3001., the property of William Burn, his muter; and the other prisoners, Auger and his mother, for aiding in the rob bery, and receiving the property, well knowing it to Wm been stolen.—The prosecutor , Mr. Wm. Burn, architect, of No. 6, Stratton-street, Piecadall' y, stated that the prisoner Parlour was his man-aerrant. The prisoner absconded as the 11th Sept, and afterwards wrote to Mr. Burn, informing him that he had taken the property, and he sent back a por tion by the Parcels Delivery Company. In consequence en examination took place, the result of which was the discovery that a very great quantity of plate had been stolen. —Police-constable John Gray, of the D division, stated that the prisoner Parlour, when taken into custody, entered into a detail of the manner in which the plate was removed. That wes on the 26th of September. On the 30th witness proceeded to No. 16, Noel-street, where he apprehended the two Augers. The mother said, when told that she most be taken to the police-station, that she certainly had pawned a quantity of plate fora gentleman in Bryanstone-square, but she dewed that it wee with a guilty knowledge ; but, when asked the gentleman's name, and the number of the house, she professed ignorance of both. Upon searching, the wit ness found fourteen duplicates relating to Mr. Burn's pro perty, and she spoke of having done washing for Henry Femora., but she did not say that he was Mr. Burn's servant. Frank Auger said he had received books and china from Paviour, and also a tea-eaddy and a silver mug. They were pawned, be said, and Pavieur had the duplicates.—l.. Poole, shopman to Mr. Mortimer, a pawnbroker, produced six knives, a candelabra steed, and other articles, which had been pledged at different times by Mn. Auger. She was • known customer, end upon visiting the shop on one occasion she told witness that she was in the habit of pawning plate for • gentleman of rather dissipated and extravagant:habits, and if witness thought proper to advance money upon such articles as she had to pledge she would prefer depositing them at witness's shop, in preference to • neighbouring one which she used. When asked the gentleman's name, she said he wished that to be concealed. The witness produced • considerable quantity of plate, identified by Mr. Burn. — R. H. Cloud, shopman to Mr. Flemming, of Gilden-square, pawnbroker, produced a quantity of plate, pawned by the female.—The Common Serjeant: Do any of those articles bear • crest? If so, how came you to take them in so recklessly ?—The witness said the articles bad a crest on them, end the prisoner put them off their geed by her representations.—Common Serjeant Then you get no expenses, sir.—C. J. Knight, shopman to Mr. Parker, pawnbroker, Great Poland-street, produced other plate, pawned by the female prisoner, who stated that it belonged to • gentleman in the neighbourhood, who wished his noir.e to be concealed.—Other pawnbrokers' assistants produced other property, and the floor of the court was literally strewed with the stolen property.—Mr. Burn identified all the articles produced as his property.—Mr. Payne then addressed the jury on behalf of the Augers. The learned ' gentleman said that there had been a gross breach of faith in prosecuting the woman, through whose instru mentality it was that the property had been reaivered.— The Common Serjeant, in summing up, said that the evidence clearly showed that the robbery had been committed by Parlour ; that Frank Auger had daily intercourse with Paviour , and that the property had I been pawned by Auger's mother. If the jury thought that she could have pawned all that property, Hering it to have been acquired by honest means, then they would acquit her.—The jury found all the prisoners Ouster—The Common Serjeant cold, they sat there to per form a duty to the public, is•Z2. that doll would not be exer cised unless the prisaite'rs were Kverely punished. There was no d'Atbt as to tht , guilt of the three. What the go vern'r.oent might do..,th them he could not tell, but this c'.,urt felt bound, in diacharge of its duty, to order that each of the prisoners—Paviour, Frank Auger, and his mother, be transported beyond the seas for the term of 10 years. Scarfs tx Corar.—Whilst the jury were consulting in the case of Parlour and the two Augers, Mr.Prendergast entered the court and made an application regarding the case of Holliday and others, charged with having conspired to defraud. Mr. Under-Sheriff France interrupted the learned gentleman, and said he ought not to make an ap plication whilst the jury were deliberating, as their attention wend be abstracted.—Mr. Prendergast was very much as , tanned the he should be taken to task by an officer of the eon (le seek, he said, were the under-sheriffs) while anemia _the court in the person of the judge—The Under-Sheriff eali that thee,' wen deliberating, and must not nave thee netonagenameed.—Mr. Prendergast con sidered this coning an the part of the under-sheriff highly unbecoming and indeesnee and much beyond that autho rity assigned to him by his office. If he were to be called to order it should lsranjudge and not by an officer ; and were he to eaten 10 MMe should expect to be interrupted nett by the amelcaspres, than whom undevshcriffs were not muci higher only In nanee. He would not submit to such conduct. The appliance was then made. POLICE.-SATIIRDAY. MANBION-1101783.—Cnrson or Fononto s Br.mr DIVIDLND Wunniicr. —G.

Office, said the same warrant war applied for subsequently by another person, and his impression war, from what that applicant stud, that the same name of Thomas Rance, signed to this warrant, was a forgery. If the case were remanded, the executor might be forthcoming.—D. Forrester, police officer, said, in consequence of information he received, he went to Enfield, accompanied by the witness Wale, and saw in a saddler's shop, over which was the name of Phipps, the prisoner at work, and said that he wanted to make inquiry about a di. note which he had posed a week ago to Wale. The prisoner said he had received it from Mr. Emery, of Liverpool•road, Islington, who lent it to him. Ho went to the Liverpool.road with him, and saw Mr. Emery, who, to the question u to whether he had lent the prisoner a 61. note, replied in the negatiee.—The prisoner was remanded. ROBBERY or BANE-NOELS.— W. Mitchell was charged upon suspicion of having been concerned in a robbery com mitted upon a railway.—Last Tuesday week a lady, who was travelling is a railway carriage between Sutton and Birkenhead, was robbed of a 1001. Bank of England note, M. W., 26,566, Liverpool, 25th of May, 1846 ; a 501. Bank of England note, O. W., 74,461, Liverpool, 22nd of Mae, 1816; also 81. 10s. in cash.—ldr. Speilman, of No. 10. Combard street, money-changer, stated that a man named Burgess had been on the preceding day brought before the magistrate at Guildhall, upon suspicion of having been concerned in the robbery, and remanded. (The case was reported in our paper of Saturday.) 'She prisoner, said the prosecutor, came into my office to change some American bank-notes, and he gave his name as Captain Broadwater, the ship Wellington, ag in the Saint Katharine 's Docks. We exchanged the American notes, and he went away. Soon afterwards Burger came with another person, who, he said, was a passenger front America, and they both desired to know what I had paid the prisoner, and asked me whether I could change some more American notes. I said I could if they would return next day. Yesterday the other party (the American passenger) came, and brought 142 dollars in American notes, and four five shilling notes also. Having just received a letter from our correspondent in Liverpool stating that 1501. in bask notes had been stolen, and that American notes bad been purchased with them, and would be probably brought to be exchanged at our house, I gave bun into custody.—E. Funnell, City police. man, stated that on Friday he went with other officers to • beershop in the London-road, and saw the prisoner in front of the bar. On telling him the nature of the charge, he said he knew nothing about it. On seeing Mr. Spellman at the station-house, he said, " Mr. Spellman, you know the transaction we had yesterday afternoon they were all good ' notes, and they were given to me by Burger,B and I got a receipt for the money."—The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL.—HOerITAL TROUSERB.—J. Cochrane was charged with omitting to deliver up fifty pairs of trousers, which had been eats noted him to make up by Mr. Prickett, army clothier, of Fore-street —Mr. Alderman Sidney ex pressed some surprise that so many pairs should be entrusted to a person like the prisoner, and asked how much was paid for making them up ?—The foreman said 7d. a pair.—Mr. Alderman Sidney inquired how many the prisoner could make in a day 7—Foreman replied, probably about two pair. —Mr. Alderman Sidney: What description of trousers are they ?—Foreman What are called hospital trousers. They Are warn by the sick in hospital.—Mr. Alderman Sidney Did it never occur to your employer that this was a large quantity of garments to entrust to one person, where they were paid so trilling a sum to make them up? Don't you think it was placing a great temptation in his way ?—The foreman replied that they had previously trusted the pri soner—The prisoner was sentenced to two months' impri sonment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET,--Szturio SPIRITS AT TRearnes.—Mr. J. IV. Maddox, lessee of the Princess's Theatre, was charged with permitting brandy to be sold and consumed in the pit saloon of the theatre.—J. Peacbey, of 35 Oakley-street, Lambeth, the informers witness, stated that he went to the Princess's Theatre on the 19th of Oct., and asked for a small glass of brandy in the pit saloon. The female who was serving refreshments said she would send out and get it. Witness replied, he would not trouble her, but would; take a bottle of ginger beer. She then said she had a little brandy under the counter, and would let him have some, and she poured out a small glass, which he had with his ginger -beer, and paid ber one shilling. The price of ginger-beer was but fourpence a bottle, as there was a card hanging up stating the price.—Mr. Wilkins, on behalf of the defendant, said that he wits confident the magistrates would feel that there was not a sufficient case made out to warrant a conviction. Not the lead evidence had been given either to prove that brandy was an exciseable article, or that the defendant was not licensed to sell it ; in the absence of which proof he confidently distil for a dismissal of the case. —Mr. Hardwicke immediately dismissed the complaint. MARYLEBONE.--EITISTRISATICALROBBEET.—C.JO2IO, aged 17, was charged with having pursued a most artful and extensive system of robbery. The plan of depredation pur sued by the prisoner was that of accosting in a very familiar manner in the street boys whom he might see with parcels in their possession, and gleaning from them informatz-n as to where they were going, together with other pendia •sa rela tive to the nature of the property with which they were entrusted. Is a short time a ft er the did parcels were deli vered the prisoner repaired to the several dwellings and obtained the packages, under a representation that there was a mistake, and that the proper goods should be forwarded speedily. It tarried out that he had not been directed by any one to go upon the errands referred to. Numerous cases were proved against the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER.—Tau Mustnna Awn Ronum or Ma. Bettcstlxesaa.-0. drifoy and R. Doyle were re examined, charged with the attack and robbery of Mr. Bell, chambers, who has since died from the injuries inflicted upon him.—Mr. Inspector Taylor said, since the lukremand several important facts had come to his knowledge. The witnesses were in attendance, and he was prepared with further evidence ; but there were important reasons why he did not wish that evidence to transpire at present. He con sidered that going into the ease would interrupt his inquiries, and interfere with the ends of justice.—The prisoners were remanded for a week. LAMBETH.—Cesnott or Ansore.—A. Marsh, said to he of respectable connexions, was charged with arson. On Tuesday night last the house of Mr. Bailey, in Swan•place, Old Kent-road, was discovered to be on fire. On an examination of; the premises no doubt could remain that the fire had been the work of some malicious person, who had effected an entrance into the house by breaking a square of glass in the beck kitchen window and undoing the fasten ings. It was found that the prisoner had met Mrs. Bailey in the Borough, at nine o'clock on the night in question, and at ten o'clock he was seen in a passage close to the house. It was further ascertained that on the morning after the fire the prisoner left his father's house, taking with him some neces saries and did not return. The prisoner had been charged at: thia cowl in tke month of June last with having discharged a loaded pistol at Miss Rolph, the daughter of Mrs. Bailey, and was then ordered to find bail to keep the peace towards Miss Rolph and her parents. Sines that time he appears to have made his peace with the young lady, to whom he was much attached, and has latterly been in the habit of meeting her, but quite contrary to the wish or will of her friends, who had formerly prevented their msrriage.—Mr. Norton observed that there were some strong points in the evidence against the prisoner --in the first place, his explanation for leaving his home on the morning after the fire was not at all satisfactory ; in the next, some blood had been discovered on the window fills o f Mr. Bailey's house on the night of the fire which led to the belief that th e person entering by that window had cut him self, and the prisoner's knuckles of the right hand were cut. Again, the prisoner, though he at first denied the fact, ad• lattted having '.men close to the hotuie of Mr. Bailey a very short time before the discovery of the fire.—The Prisoner said the cret on his hand bad been done in putting in a equate cri glass on the Tuesday morning. —Davis, the officer, said this was contradicted by the prisoner's mother, who de clared to him that, though he had put in a square of glass on the Tuesday morning, he had not cut himself.—The prisoner was remanded. _ Closterman, a Dutch sailor, we. charged with feloniously stabbing and wounding I. Hughes, a Welsh sailor, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.—The prosecutor's garments were saturated with blood, and his face was completely covered with large gashu.—The prisoner and the prosecutor lodged together in • boarding house for seamen, and had been on the moat intimate terms. On Friday afternoon a dispute arose be tween them relative to the different degree of value to be attached to their respective birthplaces, the Dutchman taunt ing the Welshman with being a nanny-oat, whilst Taffy retorted that that was far preferable to being • Dutchman. Soon afterwards the prieoner seised Hughes by the throat, and a scuffle ensuing several blows were exchanged. Some other lodgers in the house interfered and parted them. The prisoner went up stairs, observing that he should go to bed, and in about ten minutes after Hughes followed, and as he was entering the room in the dark, the prisoner rushed on him, and with a clasp-knife stabbed him in the face cutting his nose and laying his lip open, and followed it up by another stab in the arm. One of the lodgers who ran to his assistance distinctly saw the prisoner spin make two overhand stabs at the prosecutor, wounding him severely in the face. The stabs were aimed with so much violence that had either of them taken effect a little higher up on the temple, death must have resulted.—Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner to Newgate to take his trial. w OOLW I C Staggles was examined, charged with setting fire to two stacks of hay, the property of Sir Thos. M. Wilson, Bart, at Charlton. The particulars of this case appeared in our paper of Wednesday. A letter was read from Sir T. M. Willson, stating that as the priener had confessed that he had accidentally sat firs to the pro perty, and had thus removed • suspicion w hi c h at first attached to another party, he did not wish to press the charge against him.—Mr. Jemmy, having heard that the directedhim riaoner bore to be discharged. a good character at his native place, Stafford, business hours, Consols were reported to be done for time as high as 81 (. Reduced Threes left off 791 (to Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 801 to 11. Exchequer Bills, 19s. to 153. discount. India Bonds, 30e. to 235. discount. Bank Stock, 183 to .5. In foreign stocks there has been the same inactivity of business, and prices have undergone little altera tion. Speculation transactions in them continue al most entirely out of the question, and the dealings which occasionally take place may be traced to the necessities of holders requiring to realise their funds. Mexican were called 15; to NI. Spanish Fives, 161 to 171 ; the Threes, 261 to 71. Portuguese, 20 to 2. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 53 to 4 ; the Fours, 81 to 2. Danish, 79 to 81. We have had renewed reports of mercantile failures in certain quarters to-day, as usually occur when speculation is rife in stocks, and prices fall, for which causes are sought which interested parties are only too eager to propagate. For the rumours referred to, injuriously affecting parties of high and de- ' served credit and consideration, we are enabled to say there was not the slightest founda tion. It may be added that, paltering, and clogged with an absurd condition as the suspen sion of the Bank Act of 1894 is held to be, it has nevertheless exercised a wholesome influence both in town and country. Communications from all parts attest the fact of returning credit and confidence. Banks let out more freely their before accumulated but hoarded reserves, and the pressure on the Bank of England, upon which the burden of supplying dis counts and accommodation was almost individually cast, will be mitigated pro (onto in consequence, as it is understood to be already. A meeting of parties interested in the Royal Bank of Liverpool took place on Saturday, a full report of which will be found in another column. It was adjourned on amendment until next Saturday. The proposition to wind up the affairs of the establishment was negatived by a majo rity in the proportion of nine to one. A committee of investigation was appoinu4 who will deliver their report at the next meeting. We understand that the drafts of the Ohio I:tife Insurance and Trust Company of New York, on Messrs. Glower, Nephews, and Co., will be protected by Messrs. Barnett, Hoares, and Co., the latter having been placed in funds for the purpose. - - - - • - Now that the currency regulation theory of 1814 is gone past redemption - has been abandoned indeed with the implied if not expressed consent of its authors, and by the positive act of those who assisted in its lt gislative enactment; as destructive of credit and irreconcilable with the interests of industry; public attention begins to be more keenly directed to the substitutes by which the one artificial system may be attempted to be replaced by another, iu the par liament which is about to enter cut its noviciate. As if the country had not suffered enough by the legis lative tampering of half a century with credit and currency, theorists and system-mongers are still out pouring with schemes for keeping the standards of credit steady and unvarying, as if credit could, or should, be in all times and seasons, measured out invariably like corn by the im perial bushel, and its use or consumption determined, like corn physically, by any given law cf universal consumption per head, which should not be exceeded, and ought in strait-waistcoat fashion to be repressed when in excess of tke prescribed bounds. The more sober-minded practical men of the City are beginning to be impressed with convictions of the dangers and inexpediency of legislatively meddling with credit or paper money at all, for bank notes, like bills of exchange, can only be the material or tangible signs of the abstrac tion represented by credit. A strong feeling is therefore growing up against any legislative interference with banks or credit. Let the govern ment, they say, fix its metallic standard for fiscal purposes, and for those only, and the ready converti bility of the bank note is at once secured. The one equal law is there for compelling the payment of a five-pound note on demand, as for honouring the bill of five hundred pounds at three months after date. Bills and notes are not made without value received, and will not be taken unless the security is approved. Let the government pay off its debt to the Bank, and the legal tender clause may be dispensed with. It was imposed for the supposed convenience of the state, without reference to the public interest. Its prominent effect has been to impede the influx of gold in times of need, although the country has never been more " saturated " with gold than in this time of crisis, which Mr. Cardwell said in the last parliament was the special object of the Bank Act of 1844, but which Mr. Fullarton had written before him, was a fact already in progress from commercial balances without that act, and would not be accelerated by it. The exclusive gold standard medium is thought also to be a more than questionable measure of policy. This is the only country where such an arbitrary measure of value exists, the consequence of which is, that in seasons of monetary derangement no, er inade quate, assistance only can i)e received from other coun tries. At this present moment a ship is expected daily from the Pacific with from two to three millions of dollars; in sterling, say half a million of pounds. This sum would be a material assistance in present urgencies, supposing it realisable. But, by the provisions of the Bank Act, it is as actually unavailable as much more in hand besides in the Bank vaults. Silver is legal tender only for forty shillings, and the Bank is restricted from holding more (writing from memory) than one million and a half of sterling value. The Bank cannot even take it to exchange far gold abroad. The merchant importer must re-export it, at loss generally, to obtain returns at the last moment to pay his bills. A value unde niable and recognised everywhere else in the world is denied currency here, the country above all others requiring a full currency and a full credit. The Bank of England is compelled to buy gold in what ever quantity at one high and unvarying rate, and to sell it to all comers at another rate, leaving absolutely a loss on balance, whilst prohibited from deal ing in silver beyond a fixed and inconsider able amount. The objection has always been urged about the inconvenience and incompatibility of two metallic standards of value, as if two standards were really the matter in question, although it is quite clear that, with the legal tender clause, we have ac tually, and must always have with it, two standards of value. In the United States the relation between the two metallic values is always determined by an agio, which varies according to circumstances, say demand and supply, between the one and the other. The differences of agio range within the narrow circle of some few cents per sovereign in favour of or against dollars. There should be no difficulty about the calculations. Contracts are made specifically for dollars, and dollars must be paid, and are, unless the holder of the bill prefers gold with the agio, whatever that may be. Mr. Haggard, of the bullion depart ment of the Bank of England, has long, in his evidence before parliamentary committees, and in various publications, maintained the superiority, and insisted on the greater conveniences of a silver standard. It does not necessarily follow that a purely metallic circulation should exempt a country from the occur rence or the possibility of panic crises, or that a con vertible paper currency should really be the cause of exciting them. The currency of Cuba, for example, is or was purely metallic—dollars and doubloons— yet we have known, personally or through accredited advice', of money and commercial panics there, with the rate of discount for the most accredited bills at the rate of 21 per cent. per month, or 30 per cent. p er annum. Yet Cuba has survived such periods of crisis,-and has become more flourishing. Havana is the centre of wealth, which from want of confidence has been occasionally retained in strong money-boxes, just as London le now situated. The time was, the Meet prosperous time as there may lie those alive to remember, when the cotton manufacture of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Scotland was carried on by a system of open book credits. Cash was never heard of, or asked ; what is more, na discount of price would have been submitted to for the difference between so much credit en d money down, or the greater security thereby in favour of the seller. Two months open credit, and two months bill, or, in the same way, three months open credit, and three months hill, were the terms betwixt 'pinnies who gme credit, and textile manufacturers who reqidred it. As the running month of purchase was always given in, and the last month for payment also, according to' rule, for the most punctual and responsible parties, it followed, from the system, that nine months upon the three months' open credit expired before the seller, or the parties to whom he passed his bills, received the cash. The wholesale manufacturing or dealing houses sold their wares for exportation to the Fast Indite,West India, Europe, and the United States, at credits ranging from nine months to eighteen—or more. Many years ago two bills passed under the observation of the writer, for some thousands in amount, drawn from the West Indies upon the lung defunct firm of Inglis, Ellice, and Co., one at fire the other at seren years after date. That they were paid needs not be said. Yet the legislature of that day did not deem it necessary to interfere with the uses or abases of this credit, which now is magnified into the bugbear which must be subjected and limited by law. As open book credit, and credit represented by bank notes, are represented equally by values in exchange, with mere difference of dates as to the cash payments into which all are at last resolv able, why should a government interfere with one more than the other? The fiscal exigencies which alone ought to be admitted as a justification of government interference with credit, should, to be just and impartial, now, as heretofore it should have done, require the inspection of every trader or farmer's books, and tax him for his open credits in proportion with the stamp duties on bank notes and other bills representing credit. It is not surprising that, founded on considerations such as precede, banking and commercial people in the City should come to the conclusion that credit, and the currency which is merely its representative, should be left to itself. They are in fear of legislation or other nostrums, and only require free trade in currency and banking, with free trade in commodities. We perceive in some of the country papers certain extracts, of an erroneous nature, respecting the com mencement of the bank of Jones Loyd, and Co., and the commercial concerns of the late Sir Robert Peel, as from the Bankers' Circular, which, hereafter, occa sion will be taken to correct. The history of that great bank of Manchester and London is yet to be written, and we can only contribute to it our modicum of informa tion. The story of the rise of the late Sir Robert Peel has been partly told, and is matter of history, upon which however some lights and shades may yet be thrown. Together, the fortunes of the two con cerns are an instructive episode in the history of , credit. In evidenat of the deep , interest now taken in the City in currency and batuzing affairs, the following letter from a gentleman well experienced in practical banking, and who has not the less studied the theories propounded on the subject, is subjoined. It discloses some new and remarkable facts connected with the engrossing question of the day. It will be perceived that, by the most singular perversion of currency theories, the poorest, pauperised indeed, part of the United Kingdom, is actually allowed, by Sir Robert Peel's banking acts, an enormously greater pro rata use or abuse of credit, than England, which is right fully assumed to be the great capitalist of the world. Sir,—You are doubtlow Inundated with ceenmuniceions rcnpecting the present monetary pressure, but none of your eon...pendently ap pear to allude to the real canoe, or to tale into cormideratlon the ex traordinary disparity between the amount of notes circulated to Ire land, ea compared with those of England and Scotland. By Peel's " Compliment " Bill of 1814, he was graciously pleased to allow the 2G3 English country hanks, both private and Joint-Karl, to Sew notes to nn aggrepte amount of 8,417,721/., and, on *subsequent occasion, he was equally pleased to allow the 18 hanks in Scotland to issue 3,097,209/. in notes, and the 8 hanks In Ireland 6,354,4311. So that, whilst the average amount of the gaol Musa for the 263 English banks gives 32,0001. for each, that of Ireland is 731,30 W. for ea, hof It. eight tools; and that, altheuch Scotland has more than twice the number of banks than Ireland, the amount of the &ea- ' lotion of Ireland is more than twice the amount of that of SentlaniL Six out of the eight million. of the Irish people are said to be paupers; hence it follows that upwards of six millions of circulating paper, we ray nothing of the gold and silver, is atoorbed hr two millions of the ovulation. Sow we all know that Ireland is almost exclusively an agricultural country, and that her rental, which in the chief source of her inmate, does not exceed twenty millions of pounds annually, whilst the estimated Income for the United Kingdom is =lolly pot clown at flee hundred millions per annum; if these figures be correct, Ireland has either too large a share of paper money, or England has too little. Caunot you draw pulake attention to this subject, and show how it happens that a country without trade mn be {awe with a money power more than double the amount of its Scottish neighbour! —Your obedient servant, W. J. L. MONEY MARKET. BATVIIDA7 EVIIIIINO. The agitation in the stock market was little dimi nailed this morning on a perusal of the Bank returns for the week ending last Saturday. Those returns, showing the unfavourable position of the establish ment at the date, were, it is now beyond doubt, the moving came of the relaxation of the Bank Restric tion Act of 1844, so tardily consented to by the go vernment. The speculators for the fall made their advantage of this unfortmate exhibition, and exten sive sales for time reduced Console from 811, at w hi c h they opened, to 801 to 1, the lowest prim of the day. The repurchase of stook thus speculatively sold on the resßsation of profits, together with a mom sober estimate of the stated &Aire, monetary and commercial, led to a reaction, which restored prices to 801 to le foe mosey, and 81k to Ihe time.

PETERSAURO.—There is a general fear that the com mercial crisis in England will cause a re-action in Russia, and especially on those Petersburg and Riga houses which arc more or less concerned in the considerable quantities of corn which they have sent to that country. There is a posi tive panic among the merchants of St. Petersburg, (or although our latest intelligence elites that no Russian house was concerned in the failures which have been announced, yet our next ads ices are expected with much impatience. HAMISVHO.—The Cologne Gazette of the 30th October states that by the failure of two large houses in the corn trade in St. Petersburg (names not given), Hamburg has experienced a lose of 70,000 marks banco. It is feared (adds the Hamburg correspondent of the above journal, who writes under date Oct. 26) that bad news will also be received from Riga and Archangel. An immense quantity of ',balers had been lately sent from Berlin to Hamburg. Both money and credit are wanting. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. SUGAR —Batetot.

MANCHUTER, OCT. 30.—The yarn and cloth market Con tinues in an exceedingly decreased state. Anticipating a rise of the price oi the raw material in consequence of the new project for ex tending bank discounts, manufacturers in some ..stances were armee an to the prices of pods earlier in the week, but the effect won only temporary, and rates are again drooping and irregular, tho Ugh purchase* OM only ►e made for each. WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—LEEDs, Ocr. 30.—The demand for woollens to-day was dull. The attendance of merchants in the Piece.ball was thin, and their dealings were few. The goods sold were of a simihir description to those which hate been generally in demand during the month. Though there hare been a few London buyers in the warehouses during the lad ten days, their purr-hums hare been made eery sparingly. - - HARDWARB.—BIIMINOHAM, Oct. 30.—Upon the whole, trade here has somewhat improved during the bet week. The very large amount of orders received from America have pa:dolly found their way into the hands of the manufacturer. Min coupled with the somewhat improved condition of the home Lade, end the abeence of farther important failures affecting the trading Interest hereabouts, has tended very materially to revive confidence. In some Instances the artisans have been upon short time undoubtedly, but the mar of them find a tolerable amount of employment; end we have been assured by some of the largest manufacturer that, baring In view the peening exigencies of the time, the lam quarter's accounts have bees pretty well met. The bankers have, by circular, tusnounced their resolve to ram the interest on deposits to four per cent. RAILWAY NEWS.
