From an after report it will be seen that two of the force have been transported for robbery. Fever has carried off Dr. Joseph Bell, an eminent medical practitioner in Edinburgh. The publication of Major Sharp's letters regarding the internal dis cipline of Trinity College, Glenalmond, ham led to inquiry on the part of the council. As yet the pro ceedings have been conducted in private. Dr. Wordsworth, the warden, has received letters from most, if not the whole, of the parents of the boys under his care, expressive of their confidence in him as a teacher; and these documents, along with the entire correspondence between him and Major Sharp, have been laid before the council. ANOTHER ATTACH HT POACHERS ON SIR JOHN MAl inu.ve GAMEXEEPERS.-0 11 Friday morning last, J.klutchi son and .1. Kirk, two of Sir John Maxwell's keepers, when watching at Cowglen, saw three poachers standing on the road, and • dog, apparently belooging to them, crossing the adjoining fields; and the keepers having gone up to the poachers, one of the latter threw a hare over the hedge. At this time the poachers' dog came upon the road, and was shot at by Hutchison, when the three men, two of them being armed with bludgeons, and the third with an iron rod or poker, made • furious attack on the keepers; and the latter, having the worst of it, and being unable to defend themselves, Kirk ran to a farm-house for assistance, and while Hutchison attempted to defend himself with his unloaded gun, he was repeatedly felled to the A g round by blows with the iron rod and bludgeons on some sharp , and stabbed in his bre breast and back with weapon, and soon rendered ins neible. The poachers then made off, Pr aying with them a six-barrelled pistol belonging to Hutchison, and the wounded dog. Hutchison was severely cut on both sides of his head, his now was severely cut, and also one of his arms, and he bears on :very part of his body marks of the violence used towards hiss. The wounds irsileted with the knife or sharp instru meat were not very deep, otherwise one near to the heart must have proved fatal. Kirk was not so seriously injured, but he had one of his arms severely hurt and disabled, and he bears on his person evidence of violence used by the poachers. Information ha ve l been given to the procurator fiscal , thre e parties, sup to be the persons who committed the assault and rolst:ry, were apprehended. Out of the poachers has been fully identified by the gamekeepers.—Our readers (say. the Glasgow Herald) will remember that, about two months ago, • similar attack was made by three poachers on Hutchison and Kirk's brother at Dumbreck, when Hutchisonn life was put in imminent danger from the violence he then received. Sairwascas tv ZETLAND.—The John O'Groat Journal, of last Friday, reports :—" By the Zetland mail, which arrived on Saturday at Wick, we have been fur salad with details of shipwrecks and loss of life, during the gales which buret with such terrible fury along these northern coasts, in the course of the past and the beginning of the present month. Sir large vessels have suf fered shipwreck, and five of these are total wrecks. In addi- ' Lion to the truly melancholy catalogue, there were, at the date of our &deices (4th inet.), reports of other wrecks and losses of life, hut, as they have not been confirmed, it is bet ter not o publish them—the list now furnished being suffi ciently long. The following are the particular. : The barque Harmonic. Hansen, of and from Bergen, for Venice and Trieste. with &cargo of stock fish, struck on the south point of the Ness of Quien. east aide of the island of Yell, on the 15th ultimo, at midnight, and in ten minutes was reduced to splinters. The crew, twelve in nut:cher, were saved, and were to be forwarded by the ship Vigilante, Werge, for Stathelle. A watch was se t to g uard any portion of the wreck that might come on shore, but, notwithstand ing this precaution, everything was carried off. The schooner Humber, Frankish, of Hull, for Gothenburg, with a general and very valuable cargo, was driven on shore at 10 cm., on the 18th ult., at Housebister, about two miles from the church of Nesting. Part of cargo and mate rials have been saved in a damaged state. A great deal of plunder is reported to have taken place. The crew. six in number, arrived at Lerwick on the 22nd ult. The schooner Oscar, Oray, of Hull, reported from Gothenburg, with a cargo of sleepers, struck a reef off germ Ting, island of WhaLay, at 2 p.m , on the 19th ult., and immediately broke up; crew het. From a part of the a appears that she left Gothenburg on the 30th oN ovember , put into Arendal on the 4th of li,cember, and sailed again the 7th. The last entry was made on the 13th, when she appears to have been under three-reefed mainsail, a single reefed foresail, going, with the wind at S., from four to two =ilex per hour. The brig Amelia, Douglas, of Kirkcaldy, from Cronstadt, with a cargo of flax and hemp, struck on a reef off Stave Ness, Nesting, at 2 p.m , on the 19th ult.. and still remains; the cargo is discharging and vessel d ie mantling. Should the weather continue fine, it is probable she may be got off. The ship Clarendon, Macfarlane, Leith, from Miramichi, with a cargo of timber, was wrecked at Tress, island of Fetter, on the 19th ultimo; crew, 20 in number, and one passenger, saved, together with the cargo. The mate, and eight of the crew, and the pas senger, arrived at Lerwick on the 25th, to take passage in the Matchless. The cargo saved is much daunted. The Clarendon loot her rudder in Sumburgh Roust, two days previous. The ship Fortuna, from the Baltic, laden with deals, was totally lost, at midnight, on the 2nd instant, on • the island of Walsay ; master and nine men saved, and eight of her crew drowned.

A published summary of the expenditure in the relief of the poor in Manchester in the year ended 31st Dec., 1847, es compared with that of 1846, showed a large increase. We (Liverpool Standard) have it this week in our power to give a similar statement as to the expenditure in Liverpool, which, however, only embraces the accounts made up to the 25th of Sept. in each year. We give the amounts for the two years in juxtaposition : Tar ended 29th Sept. 1846. 1t47. Out-door relief .

The to-door relief is increased above 10,0001. over the amonnt paid in 1846 ; and this includes the lazarettos and fever sheds. The former of these—the law rettoes—cost 4,2281., and the sheds 2 9621., together 7,1901., exclusive of salaries. The coot of medicine, which has been double, shows the sad increase of disease which has pre vailed amongst our poor. IRISH BEGOARS.—At Liverpool police-court, on Monday, no fewer than 22 natives of Ireland, male and fe male, were brought up charged with begging in the streets. Mr. Rushton, in each cue, said there was a provision for them in their own country, under the existing poor law, and pbt to each of them the question, " Will you go home ?" and stated that, if so, he would pass them. The general re plies were, " I will not ;" " I have no business at home ;" " I have no home to go to ;" and the like. Mr. Rushton said he should, in all caws of refusal, carry out the law, and send the parties to gaol for a month. Very few of the num ber stated agreed to be passed to their respeetive parishes. In several instances money wee. found in the pockets of the parties, and he ordered that the game should be appropriated towards their maintenance while they were in prison. YORKSHIRE. POISONING WITH IMPROPER MEDICINE.—The in quest on the bodies of the twin children of John Ryan, of Leeds, dyer's labourer, whose deaths on Sunday hom having taken some deleterious powder as a cure for worms was mentioned in the Ezpress of Tuesday, was commenced on the afternoon of that. day, at the Court House, Leeds. The first witness examined was Joseph Bocester, a young man in the service of Messrs. Belle and Brooke, druggists, who proved that last Saturday night he sold to a woman, whom he had since known to be Mrs. Ryan, the mother of the deceased boys, two powders for children similar to what he bad sold to her on two previous occasions. He gave her the powders out of • glass jar in which the mixture was smelly kept. The powder was compooed of equal quanti ties of cream of tartar, prepared chalk, calomel, and scam =inky. and each powder contained about three grains. The shelf on which the powder was kept contained about • dozen bottles. One of those bottles contained morphia, and wan the near, at in point of colour to the powder sold to Mrs Ryan, hut the quantity was different. The bottle con taining morphia stood about seven bottles from the other. John Ryan, the father of the deceased, said that he gave to the children. about nine ''clock on Sunday morning, the powders which his wife hod purchased over ni g ht, mixed in a Tittle tea. He tasted the mixture before he gave them _it, and it was very bitter. His wife had told him that they did not object to Like the powders previeu.ly; but on this occa sion they did object to them. About twenty minutes after he gave them some warm coffee, and he soon afterwards ob served that they were not well—there was a trembling of the limbs, a swelling of the neck, and a rattling of the throat, with discoloration of the features and great drowsiness. He told his wife he feared they had taken something wrong, and they tried to give them some salt and water, to make them vomit; hut it did not succeed, &J'i as they grew worse they were taken to the infirmary shout II o'clock, when the stomach-pump was applied. After he had served the chil dren with the tea in which the powders had been mixed, which he did with a teaspoon, occasionally stirring the liquid, he saw very little sediment. Two or three ether witnesses were examined, but they added no new facts. It was stated that poet molten examinations of the bodies had been made , hilt that Mr. West, who had been instructed to examine the contents of tne stomachs, had not been able to complete his analysis. The inquest was in consequence adjourned to Monday nest, to hear the merlicil evidence. WARWICKAIIIRE. THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME.—Mr. F. O'Connor, M P., addressed an assemblage o' about 8,000 persona, in the Town-hall, as Birmingham, on Tuesday night, in explana tion of the principles of his land scheme and labour bank. In the course of • two hours' sp,ech he reviewed, with ranch wit-gratulation, his past conduct, and he inveighed with com mensurate bitterness against all those who had stood in the way of the carrying out of his designs.

BBADLEY.—BIQUSAT TO A MARRIED WOMAN ON CONDITION 01 1118 LITING AAAAAA 11011 888 HUSBAND. —His Honour gave judgment in this case, in which a testa tor bequeathed to a married daughter, during the lifetime of his widow, an annuity of 301. in case the daughter should be living apart from her husband, and should continue so to live ; and if at any time she should cohabit with her hua band the annuity was to tease for that time. After the death of the widow he heynathed to the same daughter one•third of the income of the residuary estate during such time as she should continue to live apart from her husband, but if at any time she should cohabit with him the trustees were to pay her share to her sisters. The daughter wax living apart from her husband when the will was made. She was afterwards reconciles' to him, and they were living U 1 gather at the time of the testator's death. The question was. whether the daughter sad her husband were entitled to the arrears of X:is annuity. and to the interest in the residue (the widow having died), discharged from the condition.—Mr. Russell and Mr. Follett were for the plaintiffs • Mr. Wigram and Mr. Baulgette for th e defendants—Tie Vice-Chan caller .aid he continued to think the point one of difficulty ; but that, upon the authorities referred to, and the principles of the civil law, which had an influence in cases of this kind, the right conclusion seemed to be to hold that neither of the bequests was defeated or affected by the circumstance of the plaintiffs living together, z conclusion which appeared equally:consistent with technical and moral justice. TURNS& V.

RAWEST AND Me NORTH EITATFORDSHIRII RAILWAY COSlCANT.—AxgrtwATtorc—The North Staffordshire Rail way Company and certain landowners had appointed arbi traton under the previsions of the Linda Clauses Consoli dation Act, and a motion had been made ex parte to make the submission effected (by virtue of the act 8 Vic., c. lb, s. 2-5) by the appointment a rule of court. A motion was afterwards made to set aside the award, and it then appeared that the order making the submission a rule of court had never been drawn up for want of the production of the ap pointment of the landowners' arbitrator, which the land owners declined producing for the purpose. The company then moved that the landowners and their arbitrator might be ordered to produce the appointment of the latter. The landowners resisted the motion, on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction to make such an order. They also filed affidavits in opposition to it, from which, however, the fact of the opposition having been made might he inferred. When the motion came on to be heard the Vice-Chancellor expressed his disapprobation of the attempt to uphold the award, however good it might be, by inter posing such technical difficulties as arose from keeping back the appointment, and on the company, electing to abandon the motion and proceed anew the motion was refused with 40s. costs.—Mr. Russell. Mr. Mahn., and Mr. Hugh Hill now moved on behalf of the company that the aubmisaion might be made a rule of court without the production of the appointment of the landowners' arbitrator, and on such ae oondary evidence of it as was afforded by the affidavits and a recital in the appointment of an umpire.—Sir F. Simpkin son, Mr. Serjesnt Allen, and Mr. Campbell, for the land owners, contended that the order could not be made without the production of the original appointment or of a verified copy, and that a decision to the contrary would be opposed to the universal practice in the courts of common law.—The Vise-Chancellor said that the error in making such an orde r (if there were any) would be on the right side ; but his Honour thought there would be none, and would make the order on the materials before the court. Before Vtee-Chaneeltor Wigrarm A170104E7 GENERAL O. WAILD.--IN7OIIMATION.—CHA RITY.—His Honour delivered judgment in thin ease, which was argued on the 22nd, 24th, and 2,ith instant. The in formation was filed at the relation of certain members of the Society of Wesleyan Methodists, at the village of Shiney Row, Houghton-le•Spring, in the county of Durham, and had for its object the performance under the decree of the court of the trusts relating to the building at th d place used by the society for purposes of instruction and religious worship, and known as the Wesleyan chapel and school. The building, it appeared, was erected in 1803, upon a plot of land, • lease of which for the term of 21 years, with a covenant for renewal, had been granted to the defendant Ward by Sir Henry Vane Tempest, the then tenant for life of the land. The land was demised as a site for the build ings, with a view principally to the benefit of the mines, workmen, and lig, ids, chiefly Wesleyan', engaged in the extensive collieries in the neighbourhood belonging to the lessor. by indenture dated in Novffinber, 1806, reciting that Ward was a trustee only for the society of Wesleyan Methodists at Shiney Row, the premises were assigned to trustees appointed by the society upon trust to permit the building to be treed and taken as „a schoolroom fur boys and girls, under regulations to be ap proved of from time to time by the trustees and as a meeting-house to be used and enjoyed by the society for hearing and expounding the word of God, and for prayer ; and to permit such person as should be appointed and seat by the yearly conference of people called methitclists, as described and established in a deed-poll of John Wesley, under his band and seal, dated in 1784, and enrolled, to offi ciate therein as minister for expounding the word of God. The deed then provided, that, in default of • minister sent from the conference, a person appointed by the trustees should officiate, but that none should preach contrary to the New Testament, and the notes and comments then, on by John Wesley. The trustees continued in possession under the indenture down to 1831 without disturbance by the landlord. In 1830 a sum of 3001. was borrowed for the purpose of repairing and enlarging the building. This sum was partly advanced by the defendant Elliott Bud partly by other persons, the repayment being guaranteed by persons who were also defendants ; and In 1431 a new lease of the premises for 21 years was granted by Lord Londonderry to Elliott and the guarantees, with other pt none, upon the trusts declared in the indenture of November, 1806. In 1838 differences arose amongst the members of the Wesleyan congregation, the greater number being desirous of adopting& less arbitrary form of government ',than that established by the deed of John Wesley, in 1784. A secession took :dace, and the greater proportion of the Wesleyan' at Shiney-row, including the trustees of the indenture of 1831, joined the seceders. The trustees thereupon became desirous of resigning the trusts of the indenture, and in July, 1836, they carried that intention into effect by a reassignment of the trust promises to Ward, the original trustee. From that time till 1838 the meeting-house was used in the morning by the original society, and in the evening by the seceders. In 1838 it was closed for two months by Elliott, to enforce pay ment of his debt. Upon payment of • portion of his de mand at the end of that period by • subscription amongst the miners at the collieries, Elliott delivered to them the key of the chapel, which was thenceforth used as a place of wor ship by the secedersalone. The information prayed that the meetieg-house might be declared to be held upon the trust contained in the indenture of November, 18116, and re peated in the indenture of 1831, and for an assignment , and conveyance of the premises to new trustees upon those trusts. It also prayed an account of the balance due to Elliott in respect of his debt, and for au injunction restrain ing the use of the chapel as a place of worship, by any hut the members of the Wesleyan society. At the hearing, Mr. Wood and Mr Lloyd appeared in support of the information; and Mee-n. Holiday, Rol, Wright, Glasse, and Elderton for the different defendants. His Honour said that an objection had been taken at the hearing on behalf of some of the defendants, that the deed of demise of the property to Ward, as well as the deed declar ing the trust, had not been enrolled pursuant to the statute 9 Geo. 11., c. 36, and that, therefore, the trusts which were in favour of a charity were altogether void. Had the objec don arisen between Ward and his lewtor, et between the Attorney-General and Ward, or between the Attorney- General and the lessor, in a suit, impeaching :the trust, it might perhaps have prevailed ; but it did not follow that it ought to prevail in • case like the present, where the objection was sought to be used by trustees against their cestui-que trust, claiming under the same unenrolled deed. l'utting the want of en r.ilment out rf the case, the trust alleged by the information was, he thought., clearly proved ; and the want of enrolment hod not been suggested by the answer", nor had it been proved by the evidence. The court, however, had been "eked to infer the want of enrolment from the feet that the deed, when produced, was found not to have been endorsed with a memorandum of enrolment. That formality did not, however, appeur to be necessary, and the decree therefore would be in conformity with the prayer of the informaii• n. His Honour din seed payment of the costs of the plaintiff, and re.me of the defendants who took the came view as the plaintiff, but reserved tl e comideratiOß of the costs of Elliott and certain others of the defendants.

PORTER. — BREACH OP PROMISE OF MAR RIAOS.—The plaintiff, Eliza Harris, war a young woman, 26 yearn of age, who had been a servant in a family, and the defendant was the landlord of the John of Jerusalem pub lic-house, Cleekenwell On Nov. 28, 1844, the plaintiff and her sister, who wie. also a servant, went to the pit of Astley's Theatre, where they met with the defendant, who after wards Melt. d plaintiff to have some brandy and water at a neighbouring public-house, to which she ultimately con- Rented, and Porter accompanied her home. Front that time great intimacy sprang up between them, and the plaintiff lot her situation about three months atter the first saw the defendant, and took lodgings, where be visited her as often as three and four times a week fur about a year and a htslf, being supported oy the defendant. Several witnesses were called, who proved that defendant bad, during that period, frequently promised to marry her. In Sep tember, 1847, the defendant however married another person, and on the information being given to the plaintiff of the fact, it was stated that she was seized with hysterics and convulsions, and remained unwell for some time after wards.—Mr. Serjeant Wilkins on the part of the defendant made an effective speech.—The learned judge in summing up left it for the jury to say, whether they were satisfied that a promise of marriage had been made to the plaintiff, and if they were the plaintiff would be entitled to their verdict. The next question for Wan to consider, in that case, would be the amount of damages, and with respect to that they would use their discretion.—The jury then retired, and alter being absent about an hoar and a quarter returned into court at hall past 3, when the foreman 'Wed that all the jurymen, with the exception of one, had agreed to their verdict, and that one held out in op- poiitien to the other eleven.—His lordship expreiaed his re gret that be could not receive the verdict under such circum stances, and would be under the necessity of requesting them to again retire and reconsider their verdict—The jury then left the court and returned at a quarter to 7, when the fore men said they had found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 401. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. innings in Banco. CRIIII C. JONIS, ATII. JONES O. CHIIR.- -LIVIIILT-lITABLZ KESPEIN.—Theee actions arose out of the hiring of a horse, by Mr. Jones, a tobacconist, from Mr. Chew, a livery-stable ' keeper in the City, for a journey from London to St. Alban's. They were tried at Guildhall daring the last sittings. It appeared the horse was so lame and knocked up on arriving at Watford, that it was unable to proceed farther, and was lilt at an inn there by Mr. Jones, who immediately in formed the owner that he had done so. Neither party would pay for the keep of the animal, and it remained at Watford from August until March last. In the first action, which was brought to recover the hire of the horse, the jury found for the defendant, and in the cross action to recover the sum paid by Jones to the innkeeper at Watford for its keep while the animal remained' there a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for 32Z. During the present term rules nisi were obtained for new trials in both arises, on the ground of misdirection and that the verdicts were against evidence. The court took time to consider in both cases, and yesterday delivered judg ment—The Lord Chief Baron said that in the first case there must be a rule, on the ground that the livery-stable keeper will entitled to recover something for the service performed by his horse, and rendered to the defendant by taking him as tar ea Watford. In the second case, the question whether sufficient notice of the horse having been left at the inn had been given by the plaintiff to the defendant had been pro perly left to the jury, who found the fact correctly. There was no reason for disturbing that verdict, and therefore in " Jones o. Chew " there should be no rule. COURT Of BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Corcuniudoper Evans. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.•—Thomas Brown, ironmonger, High street, Marylcbone, came up by adjournment for his last examination.

BDSPENRION OF CZKTIFICATE.—IR the cue of Edward Thornton, plumber, of Coleman-street, the Commissioner postponed the grouting of the certificate for three months, on the ground alluded to in the last the personal and trade expenses exceeding 0001., wh ile the profits only amounted to about 6601. BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT. Before E.lrhibofe, Eiq. MILLER V. CHAMPION.—NEwerAPERB CANNOT BE LE GALLY LENT ON HIRE.—The plaintiff in this case, a news reader, sought to recover from the defendant, a retired tradesman, the sum of 6s. for newspapers lent to him to read. The plaintiff having proved his cue, the defendant admitted the debt, but oubted whether he could be com pelled to pay. The Judge °barred that such a remark from him he considered disgraceful ; but still he could not enter tain the claim, as the law now stood the same as years ago, when it had been decided that persons lending newspapers to read could not recover, but were liable for so doing to a penalty of 301., it being considered by suet trafficking in stamps to he defrauding the revenue, as It prevented the sale of. papers. He therefore must dismiss the plaint.—Judg ment for defendant. POLICE. v _ESTERDAY. MANSION-HOUSE.—WHOLESALE WINDOW BREAK- Mo.—Several young females were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged, some with having smashed windows of con siderable value in the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house, and others with having threatened and violently attacked officers of the unions. Three of them were watched by a man, whom it has been found necessary to appoint to keep an eye to the conduct of the refractory vagrants and paupers who congregate about the Mansion-house. He judged that they had a mischievous intention, and he apprehended the three with a basket of large paving -stones, which must have been brought from some distance, and which they acknow ledged were intended for the windows of some of the ex tensive buildings in the vicinity, as the manner in which it had been found necessary to wire the windows of the Man sion-house protected the glass of that structure from their attacks. The women said they came from the county of Cork, and that, being out of work and out of pocket, they were resolved to get locked up during the cold weather in prison, where they would be much more comfortable than they could be in Peckham union. The cases of the other females charged before his lordship were of the ordinary kind. They had thrown stone. at, and beaten and threatened to despatch the union officers, and they gave no small evidence of their power over the English language in the compliments which they thought becoming to pay to the chief magistrate of London. It has been seldom that, even at the Mansion-house, the furious abuse used in the course of yesterday has been equalled. All the women charged vowed vengeance against the plate. glass windows, the anion officers, the police officers, and the Lord Mayor and his brother aldermen.—The Lord Mayor had reason to think that within the last two months the loss sustained in glass, by a honking-house alluded to, amounted to upwards of 701. No doubt the window-breakers resorted to that favourite occupation from the preference they gave to a felon's gaol over a union workhouse, upon the ground of more gentle treatment. His lordship then sentenced each of the offenders brought before him to the full extent 01 the act, and ordered that the Irish women should, when their imprisonment shall have terminated, be Instantly shipped for Ireland. The Lord Mayor begged to acknowledge the receipt of 11. Is. from •• 11. W. and D." ; 51. 51. from " J. B."; and the second half of the 51. note from the Hon. Miss —, for the poor-box. WORSHIP-STREET.—AN Imeoarog —Sarah Lee was charged with having committed a fraud upon Mr. J. Hagan, a nurseryinan at Upper Claws. About six months ago the prisoner introduced herself to the wife of the prosecutor, to whom she told such a plausible tale of her respectability and expectations, amongst which she mentioned that she was upon the point of coming into 7,0001. from an uncle at Ken sington, that the latter was induced to receive her into her house, and treat her in every respect as a member of the family. The prisoner continued to reside there upon these terms, without having paid anything the whole time, until about the 3d of September last, when she expressed her wish to Mr. Hagan to send for her father and mother, who re aided at Dover, and establish them in a house which she re presented as her own property, and at the same time handed him a sovereign to defray their travelling expenses to town. The witness gladly accepted her oiler, but shortly before the arrival of her parents the prisoner left home, under the pretence of receiving some dividends at the Bank, and never afterwards returned, and upon subsequent inquiries in the neighbourhood it was found that she had received the sovereign above alluded to from a tradesman in the neighbourhood, and also a second one, in the name I of the witness and her husband, who she asserted had seat her to borrow them. They had since instituted inquiries at Kensington, and having ascertained that she had no relative residing there, and that her entire statement was a pure fabrication, obtained the assistance of the police, who ulti mately succeeded in tracing her to another lodging, where they took her into custody, and received from the landlady the duplicate relating to a shawl, which the prisoner had borrowed from the witness on the morning of her departure. —A police-constable stated that upon capturing the pritouer I she made an acknowledgment to him of the corrector u of the Marge, and, from information he had since received, he had no doubt, if she were remanded, that he should be able to establish several other cases of a similar description against her.—The prisoner was remanded. BENEVOLIINCIL—The magistrate announced his receipt I of the following additional subscriptions fur the relief of Mrs. Charlotte Thomson, which were requested to be no ticed in the public papers :—From R.

SOUTHWARK.-ItIOTOUS FEMALE I'AIIPERIL—The seven young women who w. re on Tuesday charged with riotous conduct in Bermondsey workhouse, and with I threatening to murder Mr. Hodgkin, the master, wars placed in the dock for re-examination.—They were com mitted for trial. The witnesses were accordingly bound over to prosecute. While the depositions were being read the prisoners behaved in the meat disgusting manner. THAMES.—CHAROB OF FELONY AGAINST A COM POSITOIL—J. M'Cabe, a composito r, was charged with stealing a quantity of types, rul, &c., the property of Messrs. Teape and Sons, printers.—Mr. G. T. Woodward, their overseer, stated that on the previous night, as he was leaving the premises, he requested prisoner to go back to the warehouse, where Mr. Childs, a constable, was in attend ance. Witness asked the prisoner whether he had any pro pc r ty belonging to Messrs. Tespe in his possession. The prisoner rep'ied in the negative, upon which witness took a bag which the prisoner had in his donde, and found it con tained a quantity of "letter," leaden and brass rules, &c. Witness then taxed him with having taken mere " letter " from tho premises on the Monday night, and threatened to search his house. He was conveyed to his residence, where a mass of type, melted down and weighing about fifteen pounds was found in a cupboard. The types were worth 25. , 6c1. per lb., but melted down they would only produce about 3d. per lb.—Childs, the constable, cor roborated the above evidence.—ln answer to the magistrate, Mr. Woodward replied that the prisoner could earn 11. 10s. per week. He was first observed taking the types on Mon day night by some of the workmen, having been only six I days in Messrs. Teape's employment at the time ; at, how ever, he was a married man, and had four young children, witness hoped his worship would deal summarily with the case, end as leniently as possible. The prisoner had been out of work at the Christmas period, and had probably been distromod.—lar. Yardley auM not think of dealing sum =evil; with such a case. The evidence wee most positive, u other towns the charter would have been obtained long since. With mush vehement., et manner and violence of language Mr. O'Connor discoursed at length upon the evils of our entire social system. He concluded by • lengthened eulogy upon his land scheme, end by declaring that before the summer was over at deal of up he would have uproar 000 labourers in his maple,* A gre and confusion ensued : in the midst of it • Mr. Smith (who it was alleged hod some scheme in embryo, which is to rival Mr. O'Connor's) roes and said that he had come to the meeting expecting to hear something of the practical details of the land scheme, and of the mode by which it was to be serried out ; instead of which there had been presented to them neither calculations nor data, and they knew little more of it than when they came; in con oideration of this he moved an adjournment of the meeting. —Mr. O'Connor pleaded his immense audience as an excuse for not eateries into detail, but he offered to come to Bir mingham five night■ in succession for that purpose.— Ulti mately, a motion complimentary to Mr. O'Connor, was put and carried, although it was quite clear from the noise that had prevailed, little had been heard beyond the most vio lent passages in the speaker's declamatory harangue. be Mama. OLYMPIC TREATRE.—The tragedy of "Macbeth " was produced at this theatre last evening, in order to afford a new candidate an opportunity of meaning her claim to a status on the metropolitan boards. Miss Glyn, the young lady in question, who is somewhat too prominently blasoned as a pupil of Mr. Charles Kimble, made her appearance in the character of Lady Macbeth, being supported by Messrs. Stuart and Hal, in tie parts of Macbeth and Maeda". In being person, Miss Glyn has v e ry considerable advantag. e, tall, well-proportioned , and, to a certain extent, stately and graceful in her deportment and gait. Her features likewise are of an order which has ever been admired on the stage, being regular and strongly marked. With respect to her rs powe of personation, it would scaroely be fair to pronounce authoritatively upoa that point until she has had somewhat more practice on the London boards. CLERICAL. CLEBECII NEW CHURCH,Pembrok eshire,w as consecrated on Thursday last by the Bishop of St. David's, in the presence of a very numerous assemblage of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood. The Baron de Rotten has expended 10,0001. in the erection of this church, in addition to the amount raised by the parish, and it may be considered to be one of the finest edifice in the principality. CONSICRATIONS. —The Lord Bishop of Lincoln has, we (Derby Ilfereury) understand, given it as his opinion that no consecration is necessary when the whole or any part cf a church is rebuilt. From this it appears that it is sufficient for a building to stand upon consecrated ground, and that it thereby partakes of the privileges of the sanctuary, without being formally separated from common uses further than by its locality. Hence the new church at Sausthorpe and the new chancel at Swineshead have both been opened without the ceremony of consecration. PREFERMENT.—The Rev. V. S. B. Blacker was licensed to the curacy of South Cove in Suffolk. VACANCIES.—Sub -Deanery and Canon Residentiary of Lincoln ; and a chaplaincy to the Queen ; both recent by death of Rev. C.

Sr. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL —Yesterday Mr. James Dixon, one of the surgeons of the London Ophthalmic Ilospital, was appointed assistant-surgeon to this hospital, in the place of Mr. D. T . jun., resigned. . THM TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS LEGACY o f Dr. HOMO to the medical department of Uoiversity College, is likely to receive considerable augmentation. Upon further investi gation of the affairs of the deceased physician, it has been found that Dr. Holme had invested in the stocks a sum of nearly 9,0001., which was not at all named in his will. Taking the amount of legacies and bequests at 17,0 0 0 1 , and the duties thereon at 3,0001. more, we believe there will remain (exclusive of the library) certainly not less than 25,0001., hut prohahly not much less than 30,0001., to enrich the funds of the medical department of the Gower-street college. It is not yet settled whether the library of Dr. Hohne will come to the hammer or be removed to University College. It is said the executors have sub mitted a case to an equity barrister, as to the legality of the acceptance by the college council of the library as a portion of the bequest under Dr. Holme's will, which makes them residuary legatees. The learned counsel's opinion was favourable to the college receiving so much of the bequest "in specie,"—in other words, in kind. The case and the opinion thereon have been forwarded to the council of University College, and are now before them for their oonsideration. Their decision, however, will doubtless a good deal depend upon their estimate of the character and value of the library. To enable them to form an opinion on this subject—to ascertain whether the books generally are such as may litly be received as the nucleus o f e a library worthy of a national institution—a catalogue of the books is necessary. To furnish this, a gentleman has devoted him , self for a few weeks to compiling a rough catalogue or in ventory of the books. He expects to complete his work during the next fortnight or three weeks. As a more inti mate knowledge of its c intents is obtained, the library is found more extensive than ha been anticipated. Amongst its numerous tomes, all the departments of natural history are worthily represented, especially zoology, ornithology, entomology, and botany. A great mess of MSS. consisting of may., notes, papers, Ike, in Dr. Holme's writing, have been discovered, as well as much correspondence with the eminent men of his time. Amongst the letters are several from Dr. Parr. One unique collection of MSS. in 40 small quarto volumes has been discovered in its concealment, and brought to the light, covered with the dust of at least a quarter of a century. The first half of the first volume seems to be a sort of diary - or journal kept by John Wesley, in which are recorded various incidents of his journey ing,. It is conjectured that this portion of the collection—which is in a different handwriting to the remainder of that volume, and the whole of the other 39 volumes—is from the pen of Wesley himself. The remainder of the MSS., which are said to be in a very neat caligraphy, appear to have been the production of a different hand. They ere written in various languages, Greek, Latin, German, and English. From the MSS. in Dr. Holme's handwriting, he seems to have been a most in dustrious and indefatigable treasurer of facts, which he chiefly jotted down in shorthand, upon every scrap of letter-paper, flyleaf, back of a printed notice, or letter-envelope within his reach. Besides these " stray leaves," there are more bulky collections, including his notes, memoranda, and occasional essays on subjects connected with his profession. One col lection of this and comprises his notes of clinical lectures, illustrated by drawings, many of them coloured ; for the doctor was a neat draughtsman. One of these MSS. is an essay "On Comparative Anatomy," also carefully illustrated by drawings. Another is entitled "Anatomical Sketches." SPORTING. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TyroI:qtr.

CBANTEIC—LIMITED ADMINISTRATION sin , VIOLENT FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE OP A PARTY BENE FICIALLY INTERESTED IN A SUIT IN CHANCERY.—Tht Lord Chancellor gave judgment in this case which was ar gued before him in December 1846. The decision of the Vice-Chancellor was reversed. KIRK v. THE BROMLEY UNION,—CONTRACT TO BUILD. —DEVIATIONS OF BUILDER WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHO RITY NO RELIEP IN EQUITY.—The Lord Chancellor gave judgment in this case al.°. which was another appeal from the Vice-Chansellor of England. The overruling the demurrer on the grounds s ated by the Vice-Chancellor would open a new head of equity, and on the whole he was o opinion that it ought to ts• allow, d. Kis Lordship also gave judgment iu another appeal from the Fire-Chancellor, viz " Conn, V. Lowndes," which depended on the construction and effect giv,n to a will and certain deeds, but which woe not of any general interest. Bin Lordship some time ago gave out notes of these ann other judgments to the registrar for the information of the parties concerned, and now be delivered his reasons in court.

TANNER. •BEQUIEBY CP RAILWAY Sumer, —Thomas Tanner, by a codicil to his will, gave to his son William Henry and his daughter Sarah Yeatman, all the shares of which ho was then possessed in the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and all his right, title, and interest therein and thereto, to be squally divided between them. The tes tator had 22 of the above shires, on which 701. had been called up ; but by the act of parliament authorising the making of the railway, shareholders were empowered, with the assent of the directors, to advance the whole amount of their shares, which were 1001. each, and the directors were empowered to allow interest on the advances beyond the amount called up. The testator had, under this power, paid up the sum of 1001. on each of his shares, and was allowed dividends on the amount called up and interest on the resi due. A question was now made whether, under the above bequest, the fall sum of 1001. per share pared, or only so much r bad been actually riled up; it being contended that as no more than 701. might be called up, the difference between that sum and 1001. was in the nature of a loan to the company, and, subject to indemnifying the legatees from all future calls, belonged to the testator's F eneral estate.— The Heater of the Rolla expressed his opinion that the fall and the case must go before a jury.—The depositions were then taken, and the prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. Tma Pooa-Box.—The applications of poor widows with children, and other deserving objects of charity, bare been so numerous during the present trying weather that the funds of the court are almost exhausted. The sufferings detailed here are heart-rending, especially u regards the poor Paiewomen. ...JLWlCH.—Foionty.—W. Lee, an aged man, was re-examined, charged with wilfully uttering a forged pro missory note for 91. 6a., with intent to defraud one James Crawford. The complainant had, it appears, borrnwod from the prisoner various sums, amounting to 61., which he was to repay by weekly instalment, allowing 24 per cent. for the use of the money. The whole of the money had, he swore, been repaid to tke prisoner, with the ez• ception of a few shilling', and, during the whole of the transaction, no papers whatever passed between thi Ili. On the 14th inst., however, the prisoner sued the complainant at the Greenwich County Court, for an alleged balance of 81. 45.; and to substantiate hie claim, he put in a promis sory not, which he swore was signed by the complainant for 9!. gs., and on which he contended there had been only paid instalments to the amount of 1!. 2s, The judge in cons equence made an order for the payment of 11. per month. The complainaut then instituted inquiries, and ascertained that the prisoner had employed a youth named Andrews to sign the promissory note, and to forge the com plainant.' name to it. The prisoner, in fact, admitted this to be the case, but urged that the money was due, and that he drew up the note, simply to save the judge trouble. The usher of the County Court attended, and proved that the prisoner had been sworn before the judge, and had stated that it was signed by the complaint. 'The prisoner was committed fur trial, but on account of his great age (75 years), bail was taken for his appearance at the Central Criminal Court—himself in 5001., and two sureties in 601. each. RAILWAY NEWS. The market was not steady yesterday ; the ten dency was rather to decline. Eastern Counties were done as low as 16. Blackwalls were lower also at 54, but it may be accepted as some proof of the market being more sound in reality than appearance, that a parcel of 400 Blackwalls were sold, without affecting prices morethan ss. a share. Birmingham and Oxfords were not so good at 4 to 4. French shares rallied slightly in the morning, bat before the close of busi ness were again flat. SHARE LIST.—LomnoN, JAN. 2G.

A resolution was passed, authorising the directors to make the necessary application to parliament for extending the time during which the line may be constructed. MONEY MARKET. WEDNESDAY EVENING. Beyond mere jobbing fluctuations, there has been no peculiar speculative feature about the funds to day. The French mites at the close of yesterday's market came rather better to the Stock Exchange by electric telegraph this morning at the commencement of business, and were po-ted in the house accordingly, as in future is to be the case according to contract betwixt the committee and the managers of the electric office, an arrangement by which an end will be put to pigeon and other expresses by which the dealers and brokers generally were placed at disadvantage in their burin' as with parties exclusively in possession of particular news so rocured. Consols became rat er higher upon the accounts from Paris, and from 884 were done at 89k. Between the latter quotation and 881 to ;. 1 , they con tinued to vary until the close of business, when finally marked 881 to y for time, and 884 to 1, for money, as yesterday. Reduced Threes were 884 to 9. T'ace-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 894 to 9. Bank Stock, 1984 to 2004. India Stock, 238 to 40. Long Annuities, 8 15-16 to 9. Exchequer Bills, 275. to 30s. premium. India Bonds, 20s. to 235. premium. Speculations lave been afloat to-day about the pro bable results of the weekly board at the Bank to morrow. The expectations of any movement in the way of a reduction of the minimum rate of interest are not, however, by any means so strong as last week under the same circumstances. By the com mercial and industrial interests, it may be observed, the reduction of the rate of money is viewed as of much less importance than an extension of credits, in respectable quarters where credits are now denied, even at the present hieher than market rates rulir.g at the Bank. It may be doubted perhaps whether any alteration will be made to-morrow, or for some throe or four weeks to come, as the Bank directors are supposed in some quarters to be waiting the events of the railway meetings to be held during the next month, when probably some disclosures may come forth of the financial condition of those concerns, more particu larly of the state of the as have been borrowers famish information as PAID. 14412, 46 'Aberdeen .--. 28 4 2re 26 Arsiboset.Not . .3lloet i 2 10 Bins. wet.* memo 44 UP. 00 i 104 Dir.

Both the export and country (or home) trade are stated to be much depressed, and fears were entertained, lest this state of affairs should lead to the closing or short-time working of many manufactories. From all the facts is evidence, however, it would ra ther seem that too gloomy a view was taken of the state of things. It is rather too early to pronounce, in such a season as the pre sent moreover, upon the prospects of the spring home trade.
