I language of one of our witty living dramatists) will " make a desert of the British stage." The opera of " Maritima," with the original cost, preceded the spectacle. The house was well attended. - - - - . • Etrmsager.—Easter was kept at this house right royally. Little boys and old boys, grandmammas and greed daughters, all had their holiday, and together they filled pit, boxes, and gallery , as only pit. boxes, and gallery are filled 641 such holiday and merry-making anniversaries. Novelty being the greet desideratum, Mr. Phoebe bad provided for the audience an entirely new extravaganza, the main subject of which was the entirely " New Planet." The mode, how ever, by which the public were enabled to view this planet had in it less novelty than the planet itself. E.:Metal bqg it "unpleasant to be thus found out," the Planet (impersonated by Miss P. Horton) calls a meeting of her sister and brother stars to consider the best mode of meeting the difficulties of her position. It is deterMiiod, after much debate and some squabbling among the ladies, to make a transit to the earth at once. Mercury (Bitekstone), undertaking, in the guise of Harley/dos, to lead the way and show the lions. Transported, in the twinkling of a star, to our great metropolis, the gods and goddesses find here ample food for wonder on the one hand, and far ridicule on the other. " London by Night," as seen at the Colosseum, excites their admiration, as well it mar, for a more perfect scene has rarely been sit at this theatre. From the Colosseum they pro- eeed to the Polytechnic, where Mars (Bland) is anxious to ex amine the gun cotton; and then to the Egyptian Hall, where Vona (Miss Julia Bennett) hears unpleasant stories of herself from the Mysterious Lady. Subsequently they have an inter view with the serenaders, Ethiopian and Lantum, with the "Bondman" of Drury-lane, and the " GiseLes" of the Opera and minor houses, with the only real and original Nornsa eireted to appear at Govent Garden, and with various living statues of celebrity expected speedily to disappear front other places. This is the entire substance of the piece, which, slight in itself, is not so amply filled up by detail as several previous pieces by the same author. Buck eting', as harlequin, has some opportunity of being funny, and Miss Horton has a lay about Jenny Lind, to the tune of " Molly Sawn," which, in its way, is nilmirable. One of the steam from" Norma," too, is very humorously traves tied, Miss Reynolds parodying the peculiarities of Grid with great success. There is also a inorceau to the tune of the post-horn plop, in which Bland comes out in mighty s tore.. The poses plasliques, the Drury lane Desert, the Cannes, &c., come in for their share of ridicule; but them is somewhat over much about railway shares, the Ethio piens, and the statues—all of which have been done to death long ago. Two or three terrible blunders on the pert of the machinists—whose scenery in some cases fixed itself in the wrong places with extreme ty—also aimed the piece, as we may say, to move wly. There was an unpleasant accident, too, to one of the Wills in the ()hello wear. Her dress caught fire as she was leaving the stage, and biased for a couple of seconds fiercely. The flame was extinguished instantly, and the poor girl was not, we sanderstend, seriously injured; but the incident caused alarm, and the doubt which was felt as to the result, left an uapleeesnt impression. Is it inappropriate to ask whether something might not be done to prevent these occurrences, now becoming unfortunately not infrequent? When it is considered how many lights there are burning in and about a step, 'wetly some means might be devised to guard the lartips somewhat better than at present. If the "New Planet" were only to produce this reform in stage manage ment, it would thine to some good purpose. - - - - - - Patacgss's.— The entertainments at this theatre consisted of an English version of Auber's comic opera, " The Barcarole," followed by " The Midsummer Night's Dream," with the musical additions made to it when produced some years since at Drury-lane. The " Barcarole," the libretto of which is by Scribe, is a very lively piece, ingeniously con structed, and full of bustle and incident. The plot rests upon the authorship of a little song, or barcarole, and its effect on the fortunes of the principal characters. A gentleman cots pewee it, as a piece of gallantry, to the lady of his love ; he communicate; it to his protege, a young musician, pupil of an organist. An, intriguing nobleman, who wishes to make an indirect declaration of love to the Grand Duchess, employs the organist to compose a song for this purpose. The organist steals the melody of the 'outvote from his pupil, end palms it upon his ems ployer as his own, the nobleman hides it in the Grand Duchess's work-box, where it is found,. not by I her but by her husband, the Grand Duke,who is furious, and endeavours to discover the criminal. The interest lies in the manner in which the innocent parties are involved in the suspicion of guilt, and the danger of punishment. This Barcarole may thus be called the principal character of the piece. It is one of the most graceful among the many pretty melodies of this kind that Auber has produced ; and some pleasing effects arc produced by its recurrence in differ ent situations and in different forme. It was twice sung by Allen, in the character of the Count di Fiesque, and, each time, was vehemently encored; and it was effectively sung as the finale of the piece. The whole music of the opera is in the light, airy, animated style which distinguishes the head of the present French school. The most busy scenes are carried on in concerted music, which is often rich in harmony, always dramatic, and full of warmth and movement ; whfie the instrumental accompaniments are full of masterly touches. The piece was well got up and performed. Allen, in particuler, sang admirably, and Leffler gave considerable effect to the part of the madly old organist. The principal female part was per formed by Miss Anne Romer. It is dramatically insignifi cant, but there is some pretty music in it, which she sang very nicely, though her voice seemed more than usually defi cient in volume and power,—" The Midsummer Night's Dream" was splend.dly got up, some of the scenery being extremely beautiful, and the spectacle altogether rich and brilliant. We could hove dispensed with a great deal of the music. Much of it is pretty enough ; but we think that all the attempts to transform Shakspeare's comedies into operas Lave been sadly injurious to their dramatic beauty and effect Some of the characters were well performed. Mrs. Stirling, as Hermia ' was tender and interesting. Miss Mar shall was light and fairylike in Puck. Compton's perform ance of Bottom was exceedingly comic, and entirely free from vulgar exaggeration. The whole of the " Pyramus and Thisbe" scenes kept the audience in a roar. The house was crowded, and both pieces were quits successful - - • Mont:K.—The performances commenced with Martin Chuszlewit," and concluded with " The Enchanted Faulk" a fairy spectacle, which has already had a con siderable run. The only novelty was an extravaganza, entitled " Crusoe the Second." A company hes been funned in London for the establishment in the Brszlls of a fashionable dress and stay-making business, of which Ck montina (Mn. Keeley) is the director. She accordingly . em barks with Withehrsina (Miss Dickinson), as provisional committee. and a bevy of workwomen, who would have done credit to Cranbourne-alley in its pal miest days. In consequence of a mutiny in the ship, the captain lands them on the Island of Ascension, maseising to return in a few days, when he trusts to have radioed the crew to obedience. Wobbles (Mr. Wigan), the husband of Clementina, who has preceded her to Brazils, has been wrecked on the same Wand, of which he has con stitatied himself "Autograph," to use the words of Snod grass (Keeley), who is his man Friday, his facto tum, gad his committee of ways and mesas. The ladies and Snodgrass, finding from the traces left by each other that they are not the sole denizens of the island, labour under the impression that they are about to be assailed by cannibals, which, when Ckmentina, Snod grass, and Willselnsina meet, gives rise to many ludi crous' Names, of which Keeley, as may be expected, makes the most. Everything is explained at last on the rencostre of the be and she Wobbles at the moment the ship ' heaves in sight, which is meant, we presume, to convey the ',dole of the dramatis persons to the place where business is to be commenced with a capital of 1001., in shares of half-a s:own each.—The acting wee so good, that it would be invidious to particularise. We must, however, make am exception in favour of the fair manageress, who elicited she greatest share of applause in a parody en a well-known air in Sorsesoinbulo. The piece itself is smartly written. The idea appears to have been derived from the papers re cently pablisbed in Punch, entitled " Miss Robinson °rune." • ADELPHI.—The continued success of the drama of the " Flowers of the Forest" would, no doubt, have rendered any new "first piece" unnecessary for Easter; but the revival of the " Phantom Dancers," which seems to have slept fora week or two but to revive with as great vigour as ever, has been considered sufficient to supply the place of the no=e" usually produced at this season. Thu leaves record of the performances last night, but the fact that the house was as crowded self one novelty had succeeded =other, instead of the continuation of " pieces" which have so long attracted the public favour. SADLER'S WELLS.—The Brat piece performed BIM was Rowe's tragedy of " Jane Shore." A previous &mush= slue with such painful incidents of this drama, unrelieved as they are by the least touch of the humans= might have led one to imagine that the play would bet= dews= he Bestir Monday ; but the parts were to u anstainall, that the sympathies of the audience seemed to be theasughlylespt awake. Miss Cooper, as Jane Shore, and Kim Aiaienn, as Alicia, were deservedly =pleaded. A musical interlude (for the first time), entitled " The Rival Serjeants," was the novelty of the evening ; and if a sensation of heaviness was I produced by the tint piece, the second was certainly light enough to remove it. The scene Is in Paris. The charac ters of two sujeants are enacted by Mr. Scharf and Mr. B. Mellon, who, the one u &Venni Charles, the other se the Irish Serjeant 0' Lynn, seek the hand of Merpereele (Miss Julia Wallock). After some incidents, which are much better appreciated by spectators than they meld be by readers, the Irishman's impudence hee l= carried him almost to the realisation of his hopes, he is overwastched, and his rival is accepted in due form. Miss Walletiesperforsaanco of this lady was exceedingly clever, =owls( haw lauds may be done by spirit and tact to make tip for intsioneise on the part of the author. The males dosed with Dinov's farce of the " Bengal Tiger," whisk le lose of its sours] popularity in the hands of the eseepeer at the Watts. AirriArr's.—This favourite place of amusement imintained its reputation last nightby the re-production of the " Bride of Abydos," the ground-work of which is rsElephants, camels, zebras, deer, and other aidition to the usual stud of well-trained horses, took part lathe performance, proving Batty to be a formidable 41=1 of Bunn. The scenes in the circle exhibited some ex easeeginsrp equestrian hats, which fully bore out the elm. octet this theatre las earned. The whole concluded with the Wee of " The Married Bachelor." IffitlfttaT.—The Surrey bill of fare for last night litirsßy overflowed with novelty, dramatic and gymnastic. The eatertainments commenced with a new drama, called "The Discarded Daughter," which was listened to with great patience, but with little or no approbation. The plot is objectionable, aad the dialope emphatically " slow ;" while we mimed thou striking situations and terrific com. bats which form the glory of Surrey melodrama. The piece introduced a debutante, Mn. Ware, from the Shef field theatre, a lady with a good face and figure, and likely to become • favourite. A recent importation from the "Drier. of Damagdi," a corps of Bedouin Arabs, followed with their truly wonderful evolutions. The entertainment took tie form of a festival for the amusement of Atxtrel- Kader, who, by the bye, did not appear (we suppose from some latent fear that Marshal Bugeaud might be among the audience), and the Arabs tumbled and sprung, and whirled, and formed pyramids of two, three, and four human stories, with a certainty, agility, and grace, which we have never seen equalled. If the emir have only half the activity of his migratory subjects, we feat it will be some time vet betore the illustrious warrior above named can :" .... ciWeh 'his bare" of the desert. The performance was loudly and deservedly applauded throughout. The other entertainments consisted of a new farce, by Mr. stifli n g, called Xis.ing goes by Favour, " in which Mr. Webb and Miss Terry kept the house in g ood humour. A romantic drama, called "The Two Brothers of Pisa," finished the evening. Although much too intensely inte resting for our taste, the piece seemed to warm up the sym pathies of the audience effectually. We noticed one novelty yesterday evening's performance which deserves especial notice. The whole was over at half-past eleven, a thing without precedent in the annals of a Surrey Easter. Vicroma.—The holiday audience filled every available part of this theatre. The "gods" occupied with Impromptu pleasantries every pause in the entertainments ; and, as they were exceedingly good-humoured, they formed a not much less amusing entertainment than that formally set forth in the bills. The novelty was a melodrama of the thrillieg interest" school, culled " The Forger's Vow; or, Sidi Bureau, the Bedouin Chief of Jerre." There is the usual round of characiers, comic and serious. The main interest is evolved by the career of the hero, Henry Metrote, " a rich banker; afterwards the forger, the mameluke, and the commander," the delineation of which of course loses nothing in the hands of Mr. N. T. Hicks. The re mainder of the programme consisted of a drama called— " Donselia, the Heroine of Castile," and a nautical piece— " The Reefer's Wrongs, or the Wreck of the Aurora," both of which are sufficiently known to the audience of this theatre to ensure their welcome reception. CITY or LoNDoN.—The first and principal piece at this theatre is an adaptation from the rrench, entitled the " Inundation," and evidently run up in a hurry, in order to catch the popular feelings excited by the lamentable occur rence to which its same refers. As this "Inundation" has no necessary connexion with the plot, which turns on the rapacity of a miser and the liaison of his son with the desti tute daughter of the man whom he contributed to ruin, it would have been better omitted. The sentiments, however, are entirely altered, to suit the English ear, and this circum stases, combined with the very creditable acting of Mr. Lyon, as the Miser, and Mr. E. F. Saville, obtained for it the repeated applause of the audience. " The Int:mate Friend," and " The Lichfield Lover," two short pieces, not without merit, but by no means new to the public, con tributed to keep up their good humour but the perform ances of Mr. Roches, " thegreat English bottle equdibrist," as the bills designate him, was the chief attraction. His "extraordinary pyramids and wonderful feats" evidently constituted, in the opinion of the audience (a numerous one), the essential ingredient in the Easter bill of fare at this little theatre. OLYMPIC.—The " Mountaineers" was performed here respectably, albeit the gentleman who played the principal part ranted beyond all toleration. But the chief attraction of the evening was a new burlesque, enti tled " Joan of Arc, or the Maid of All-he.uns." The subject is a good one; but was not, perhaps, worked out to its full capability. The dialogue, though smart in some places, was evidently written some months ago, when the allusions would have " told," but the subjects of themhaving died off, the jokes fell pointless : such, for instance, as " Should Cromwell have a statue ?" The piece, however, was excellently put upon the stage—and supported by the clever acting of Mr. R. Romer and Mr. Cr. Wilde, assisted by a very pretty and effective corps of female warriors, it was well received, and announced for repetition, with the unanimous approval of an audience who were too few in number to be able to muster many dissentients. QUEEN'S.—The piece produced at this theatre last evening, for the amusement of the holiday folk, was a new extravaganza, entitled " The Ship of Glass." The plot turns chiefly on the adventures of Cusigue (Mr. J. Parry), a wild, daring, though honourable young fellow, and of Angelica, his beloved, the daughter of Von Klypp (Mr. Randall). Von Klypp is a philanthropic Dutch ship-builder, who de votee himself to necromancy, and to Certain submarine deities, who dwell, or rather swim, near an island which coatains unbounded wealth, and which is only approachable by a vessel of glass, commanded by a man who as free from guilt, and the crew of which shall for one-half of the voyage to the island be shadowless. These impossible conditions come to the ears of Von Klypp, who immediately takes into con sideration the plan of constructing the ship of glass, and is aided by the submarine spirit of virtue, Marantia, whs promises to be the protectress of the ship. His task being performed, he learns from Moran tia, that, should he fail in complying with the provi miens of the prediction, the ship will, by the power of an opposing deity, who guards the island, fall to pieces, and all on board perish. CUZifliB having saved Von Klypp's life and wealth from pirates, is promised his daughter, on condition that he undertake to pilot the ship of glass. lie consent., god his adventures with pirates form the rest of the plot. They are carried through by the usual stage means of hair-breadth escapee, and desperate combats, which work out the inevitable destiny of melo-drama—vice punished, and love and virtue triumphant. Cuzique obtains the hand of Angelica as the reward of his valour, and the pirates meet with punishment commensurate with their deserts. There is, as usual, a comic underplot, which produced much amuse ment to an easily-pleased audience. The performance con cluded with the " Wolf Hunter," which was &Lowell received. FRENCH PLAYS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—The re gumption of these entertainments yesterday evening brought back to us Ross Cheri, whose engagement we are sorry to find is limited to 12 nights. She appeared in two comedies, the established favourite " Un Changement de Main," and a new piece, " La Protegee SAN le Savoie," to which her acting communicated considerable interest. The orphan of French emigrants, and left wijh no resource but her pencil, she has been placed in a position of easy independence by the generosity of a benevolent nobleman, whose agent has purchased, as on his own account, each work from her easel at large prices. With her growth from child , hood to womanhood her secret patron's pity bag become nearer and nearer akin to love ; and, on her part, the tender passion has, in like manner, grown up under the semblance of gratitude. The real state of the case reveals itself Meech upon an insult offered to the Pi otipe by a youug rake, who, adopting the current rumour, regards Helene as simply the mistress of Lord Albert (layering. The latter at once offers her his hand, which she accepts with delight, and a difficulty that presents itself having been removed by one of those fortunate coincidences that are always so ready at hand to make two lovers happy, in play or novel, the pair are united. Mademoiselle Rose Cheri's impersonation of the heroine is a most graceful and moot gracious thing, full of feeling and refined nature. She is a kuly-Dejazet. She was excellently supported by M. Rhosevil and by M. Car tigny. Next week we are to have " Clarissa Marlowe." CLERICAL. Deccem et thorewa.—• p.tot bwisulle signatares of the Very Rev. T. Hi L. Dom et Rothe the am. J. N.

Of the 89 cases in the calendar, only about 9 or P 0 remained for trial at the rising of the courts this evening, but these are the worst and heaviest in it. and are likely to detain their leadships to a late hour on Monday. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. This court resume/ its sittings yesterday before the Re. corder and some of the civic functionaries. There are at present 2'20 prisoners forte , which, con sidering the extended period that has elasince the last session, would be rather less than the average number of committals. With the exception of one charge of murder and two of manslaughter, the canes are of the ordinary de- icription. The Recorder commenced his charge to the grand jury b• making a few preliminary remarks with regard to their duties, and observed that although there were those whJ elf.d not hesitate to affirm that the functions of a grand jury might be safely dispensed with, he said he trusted that no grind jury would effect s, little for the furtherance of the high and important duties which he considered devolved upon them, as to encourage the opinion of their inutility to gain ground, and to lead men's minds to the conclusion that the prelimi nary hurried inquiry before the committing magistrate would be sufficient to place the accused upon his trial. Rio lordship then referred to some of the ordinary duties of grand juries, and also to the absence of systematic education and restraint of the young, as a fruitful source of crime. The grand jurors were then dismissed to the performance of their dude'. MILITARY.

Sim—Before Lord Denman sad a Special Jury. CHADWICK v. HEHACATH.—LIBEL. — Thie was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages for a libel upon Mr. Chadwick, the chairman of the North Wales and the Richmond Railways, published in &Tapeslls's Rail way Journal on the 13th June, 1846. The defend ant pleaded that he had not been actuated by any malice in publishing the libel, and that he had apologised for it in conformity with the 'haute, and paid 51. into court as compensation. The Court upon demurrer held the plea to be insufficient, and the present writ of inquiry was issued to assess the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. The facts were stated thus:—While the plaintiff filled the offices of deputy chairman to the North Wales Railway and chairman of the London and Richmond, a negotiation was entered into for the loan of 20,1100!. to the South-Western Railway Company by the North Wales Company, the latter not being able at the time to use their capital or their works, owing to some parliamentary diffi culties, and the South-Western were to pay 4 per cent. for the use of the money, the shareholders in the North Wales scheme receiving the same amount of interest upon their deposits. The South-Western Company repaid the money, and the amount, with an additional sum of 5,0001., was then advanced by the North Wales to the Richmond company, at an interest of four-and-a-half per cent. This transaction formed the subject of the present inquiry, for it seemed that soon afterwards a letter appeared in Ilerapatli's Journal, professing to be signed by one Evan Griffith,, a shareholder in the North Wales scheme, and in which, in very offensive terms, the plaintiff was charged with misap propriating the money of the shareholders, and instead of employing their funds in furthering the works of the rail way, that he had lent it to a failing scheme, where it would probably all be lost, and at the same time suggesting that the plaintiff had an interest in the contract' upon the Richmond railway, and that the transaction was for his own personal benefit. Immediately upon the publication of this letter, application was made to the defendant for the address of the writer, and it then appeared that there was no such person as Even Griffiths, a shareholder in the scheme, In existence, and, in the next number of the defendant's journal, he expressed his regret that the letter had been inserted in the hurry of business, and also at the offensive observations made use of. Some further communications took place he tween the plaintiff's solicitors and the defendant, and the latter repeatedly offered to insert any statement of the real circumstances of the transaction in contradiction of the libellous letter; but this, it appeared, did not satisfy the plaintiff, who required that the defendant should state, from his own knowledge, that there was no foundation for the charges that he had made, but this be declined to do ; hence the present proceeding.—On the part of the plaintiff the libel was put in, and evidence was also given to show that, so far from there being anything injurious to the interests of the shareholders of the North Wales Railway in the transac tions with the Richmond Company, they were highly ad vaota geous to them, and they were enabled to receive a dividend of four per cent. for their money, which would otherwise have been locked up at the banker's, and not bare yielded any profit. It was also shown that, instead of the Richmond Railway being at that time a failing scheme, the shares were at a premium of 61. upon 101. paid, and by the subse quent arrangement and amalgamation with the South- Western Railway Company, each shareholder received 201. for each share, upon which only 101. had been paid originally.—Serjeant Shea, for the defendant, said that, though his client admitted he had incau tiously published an unfounded charge against the plaintiff, ket it was impossible for him to contradict it, as of his own nowledge, particularly as immediately after the publication he received a communication from the solicitors of Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, M.P., who was the chairman of the com pany, the plaintiff being the deputy chairman, in which he was called upon to contradict the statement that he (Mr. Hughes) to whom the charge was supposed to refer, had had any share in the prosecution of the loan to the Richmond Railway Company, and that, on the contrary, he had pro. tested strongly against that step being taken, and had in structed his solicitors to take proceedings against such of the directors whom they might consider had been guilty of a breach of tram In the transaction. Eventually, however, a letter, written by the secretary of the Richmond Railway, giving • full contradiction to the charges, wee inserted in the defendant's journal. Moreover, at a public meeting of the shareholders of the North Wales Company, the defendant— who had made a purchase of shares expressly for the purpose of enabling him to address the meeting—publicly expressed his regret at having inadvertently admitted the aftack upon the plaintiff.—Evidence, documentary and pare!, was then put in to prove the statements refereed to by the learned counsel, and the letter to which he alluded as having been written with the sanction of the plaintiff, embodied , a distinct contradiction of the charges that had been made against him, and it was proved that this was immediately inserted in the journal of the defendant—Lord Denman, in summing up, said that with regard to the publication of the libel, the defendaat had no defence, for he had no basins , a to invert • letter from an anonymous person making libellous charges ; and, if he did so, he was responsible to the party aggrieved. He had pleaded that he had made a sufficient apology, and the letter that had been reed, which was seat with the knowledge of the plaintiff, certainly put a different complexion on the case with regard to that pica. The jury would, however, look at all the circumstances, and say what damages the plaintiff was entitled to for the attack that had been made upon his character.—The jury, after deliberating for about five minutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501., including the Si, paid into court. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—MONMOUTH, Aram 3. Caow, Mum—Before Ur. hrtiee Mask. Lvwcz Law.—Sorry Cote, John Robins, and 19 other men, were indicted for a riot and assault on one 11.icitsrd Price, at the parish of Llandenny, on the let of April, 1848. On the day in question all the prisoners, except Cole, went to Price's house about 10 in the morning, and took him out and tied him on a hurdle, and carried him to Cole'. house, and there tied Mrs. Cole on the hurdle by his side, and exhibited both through the parish all day, as persons who had been more intimate than honest neighbours ought to be. In the mune of the procession, Cole joined the rest, and sanctioned the imputations on his better-half. The pair were released from the hurdle about eight in the evening. Price's witnesses stated, in crossAmemination, that he seemed to like the joke. The prisoners were **quitted of the riot, bat frond guilty of assaulting Price, and sentenced to a week's imprisonment. The civil business being over about one to-day, Mr. Fer- POLICE.-YESTLEDAL MANSION-HOUSE.—JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—Two boys, neither of whom was more than twelve yearn of age, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having made several attempts to pick the pockets of ladies who were passing through the streets.—The prisoners, although of such tender yews, were well known to several of the City police. They had, some time ago, begun their predatory career by stealing any trifling property exposed at shop doors; they then aimed at silk handkerchiefs in the pockets of gentlemen, and they ascended from that practice to the more difficult one of cribbing the purses of ladies. After having made many attempts without success, one of them received a severe slap in the face from a lady whose pocket he turned inside out. They were then taken into custody, but the lady seemed to think the chastisement she had inflicted quite enough, and refused to attend the justice room. An empty purse was found in the pocket of one of them—The prisoners said the police were mistaken. — An officer who had upon a former occasion apprehended one of the bays said, upon seeing him in the cage, " What! is it you again ?" " Aye, aye, old fellow," replied the boy, I'm in for a ' skin' "(a purse). The boy's father, one Spurrier, upon being spoken to on the subject, said " There's not a greater thief in London than my son, and I hope he'll be transported for life."—The mother of the boy said that until within the last seven or eight months her son was u good a child as ever lived, but he happened to get into bad company, and was charged with robbery, upon which he was placed amongst the most depraved thieves. From that mo- ' merit ho became quite careless, and would only become worse by being sent for punishment amongst experienced persons. —One of the policemen said the boy certainly exhibited a total insensibility to disgrace, for when in the cage, and questioned about his conduct, he began to dance, and gave what was called " the double-shuffle."—The Lord Mayor 1 1 considered the cam was one which showed the ne cessity for increasing the responsibility of parents with respect to the dishonest conduct of their children. He hoped that her Majesty's government would, amongst their other great efforts for the benefit of society, include the consideration of the deplorable state of the thousands of poor children in the metropolis, whose condition appeared at pr gent to be inevitable—The wretched boys were re agenda, and both swaggered out of the justice-room. ATTEMPTED StY/CIDE.—John Ilounstow, a man in the service of Messrs. Chambers, ironmongers, was brought up, charged with having poisoned himself.—lt was stated that , the unfortunate man had attempted to destroy himself in ' consequence of a suspicion entertained that he had been concerned with another in robbing his masters. A person named Johnson has been in custody for some days, upon the charge of having plundered the premises of a large quantity of nails, and the prisoner was remanded until the day en which Johnson is to undergo a second examination. GUILDHALL. — T HE TrTT /111 •T r , w ...U1 /44,.././140. - a HE .011OCRT ON MESSRS. FL'LLEICB BANE. Joseph Alexander, who has been remanded several times on a charge of stealing half-a-crown, hut really for the purpose of giving the police an opportunity of tracing ' his connexion with the above forgery for 5001., was brought ' up for final examination, and James Alfred Wilibeam, who was apprehended last week for uttering the forgery, and who made a full confession of his and Alexander's guilt, in con nexion with that of a man named Keep, now in Newgate, awaiting his trial for the same thing, was also placed at the bar. The whole of the evidence taken on previous occasions was read over, but nothing new adduced. Eventually, Al derman Wood committed klexander to Newgate for stealing the half-crown, also on the charge which Mr. Lewis esta blished, and thirdly as an accessary before the fact in Messrs. Fuller's case. The prisoner Willbeam was also committed on his own confession. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Steoz or A GAMlNG xouns.—At an early hour on Sunday morning, Superinten dent Beresford, of the C division, armed with authority from the commissioners of police, proceeded, with a party of constables, to 7, Bennett-street, St. James's, suspected to be a common gaming-house, in the occupation of a person named Oldfield, and others. After breaking open several doors, strongly barricaded, the officers took seventeen persons into custody, and conveyed them to St. James's station-house, where bail was taken for their appearance at this court. William Beresford produced the order of the commis sioners of polies to enter the house, and stated that in pbeelience to it he went to No. 7, Bennett-street, at about talf-past one on Sunday morning, in company with other constables. He rang the bell at the front door, which was opened by Johnson, whom he immediately ordered to be taken into custody, Witness then proceeded along the hall until he arrived at an iron door, which was fastened. He ordered it to be struck with a sledge-hammer, which was done, when some person from within called out, " Who's there ?" to which be replied " Police." After a lapse of six or seven minutes, it was opened by defendant Sowden. Witness then proceeded up stairs, when his pro gress was impeded by another iron door. After several blows had been struck upon it with a sledge-hammer, de fendant Oldield opened a small wicket in the door, and said it was to injured by the force that bad been used, that he could not open it. Finding he could gain no admission at this door, the superintendent turned his attention to a side door, which had been bricked up, and, alter about ten minutes' labour, a hole was made sufficiently large to admit the constables. He then found the defendants in a room, and gave each in charge of a con stable.—Mr. Humphreys, one of the solicitors for the de fendants : Be good enough to tell us what they were doing. Superintendent Beresford: They were *boat the room, dif ferently engaged. Some round a supper table, some were drinking wine, and others smoking cigar. —aft Humphreys : Were any implements of gaming found ?—Superintendent Beresford: I searched the house carefully, as also the de feedants, and found none.—Mr. Bingham said that the 81st section of Bth and 9th Vie., c. 108, established a new rule of evidence, that where any instrument of gaming should be found in any place suspected to be a cemmon gaming -house, the finding such instruments should be conclusive of the fact. If it had been thought that the circumstance of fastening a house up were to have the same effect, it would have been mentioned. The fastening, as described, led to the presumption that something was going on which the parties wished to conceal ; but there was no evidence that would support the charge, and he must dismiss the com plaint WORSHIP-STREET.—PROPER APPLICATION OP A FINE.—A few days ago n poor man, named Crowley, ap peared at this court as complainant against a ruffian named Chambers, who bad broken his jaw. The cam was fully proved against the prisoner to be one of a most savage and brutal description, and the latter was ordered to pay a fine of 21. 10e. to the queen—the magistrate, however, suggest ing to the complainant that it would not, perhaps, be im prudent if he were to petition Sir George Grey upon the subject. Crowley took the hint s and yesterday morning presented himself at the office with an answer to his peti tion from the Home Secretary, directing the sitting magis trate to hand over to the applicant (Crowley), who is still suffering acutely from the injuries he received, the amount his assailant was mulcted in —viz., 21. 10s. Crowley, who appears to he a quiet, inoffensive man having received the money awarded to him, made his grateful acknowledgments and withdrew. MARYLEBONE.— OUTRAGE/4 trros TAR POLICE.— Michael Manning and Bridget Manning, his deter, were charged with the following assault. Mr. Buncombe at tended for defendants. Serjeant Nipton, 17 D, deposed that on Saturday night, the 20th of February, at abeut twelve o'clock, he was accosted by a man named Callahan, from whose face blood was running, and who told him that he had just been struck. He pointed out Michael Manning as being the man who had vaulted him, and witness then went up to him and told himhe must go to the Ration-house, when he eulaimed, " I shan't go," and at the same time made • bolt towards his own door. He (witness) ran after him, and just übe had reached the end of the shop-front, Manning caught up a board with which he made a blow at the head of witness. On being collared and told that he had better go quietly, he resisted, and they fell down together, and as soon as witness had regained his legs Bridget Manning laid hold of bim by the collar of his coat, Banns, " You shan't take my brother." At this moment he re ceived • violent blow on the bead, but from whom he could not tell. Bridget then cried out, " Hit him, Mike ; kick him ;" and Manning instantly gave him a kick with such force upon the lower part of his stomach as to compel him, from the pain which he suffered, to loose his hold. Other constables came to the spot, and Manning was secured. On the way to the station.hease the polio* were pelted right and left with stones by a large mob which had assembled, Bridget all the time urging them on ; and when they had got as far as Christ Church, some persons in the crowd shouted—" Now men of Ireland, do your duty !" upon which a general rash was made, and Manning escaped. The t added that, owing to the injury which he re ceivedie,rreaLd ever since been incapable of doing duty.—By Mr. Buncombe I did not hear Hall, a constable, say any thing to Manning before he laid hold of him a fterl I was kicked ; I neither used my staff nor did any of the other officers use theirs.—Hall, 64 D, said that when he went up to assist, he saw the sergeant with his hat off and his fans bleeding ; Bndget Manning lure his (witness's) mouth, and she and the male defendant gave him several severe kicks in various parte of his person.— Patrick Callahan, 24, Stafford-street (the man who was in the first instance struck), deposed that on the night in question he sew • crowd round Manning's door, and went up to ascertain what it was about. He (Man ning) came out of his shop to turn the mob .A. -I away, and as he (Callahan) refused to move from the window, Manning came nut and struck him upon the nose . —Mr. Duncombe addressed the magis trate at some length, getting forth that, under the circum stances, the aeejeant, having no reason to believe that an aggravated assault bad been committed, was not justi fied in taking Manning into custody; the proper course to have been adopted was that of Calla han coming to the court and applying for a warrant. He (Mr. Duncombe) then adverted to the violent language said to have been used by one of the officers, and said be should be able to show that Manning had not moved from his own house on the night in question; consequently, he could not have been laid bold of in the street as stated by Nipton, who had sworn that he ran after him and came up with him close to his own door. He relied with confidence Ir e ry d t k lr ti ga m a d rg ici lig se si rv ne a t nt de to fe; d d r alt ta be nn i i n n g fr, Lisse p. is c s d ed tca - t at half-past eleven on the night of the 20th February there was a number of persons round the door, in consequence of some words which had taken place. She saw her master and another person; and Callahan, who was one of the party, was looking in at the door. Ho was asked what he wanted, when he used a very vulgar expression. Her master pushed him away with his hand. I think his nose bled. Ina quarter of an hour afterwards, she saw Callahan talking to a police man, who said he couldn't take the charge, and advised an application for a warrant. They went away, and after the lapse of a little time the officer returned, and laid held of her master, as he was standing on the step of his door. He asked what he was wanted for; when the officer who had collared him said, "Come along with me, I'll let you know presently." and dragged him along from the place. She followed and saw both of them fall, end saw the officer draw his staff and strike her master on the shoulder; some more policemen came up, and one of them said, Oh, you're the barb, r I've been waiting for, I'll break your b— neck." The crowd called out to the police, " You'll murder the men," as they were dragging him along. The officers seemed to be hitting him with their staves.—Another witness was examined for the defence—Mr. Rawlinson remarked that Nipton, who had sustained such severe injury, had not in the first instance acted wisely, and the warrants were therefore dismissed ; the complaining parties could go to the sessions, should they think fit to do so. SOUTHWARK.—To Pr.osows ABOUT To MARRY.— ?dn. Maslin, a widow, applied for the assistance of Mr. Cot tingham. She stated that about two months since she was introduced to a young man named Osborn. whom she agreed to marry. They were to be married at Gravesend, where Osborn was to join her. Before leaving, he ob tained pourrion of the keys of her house in Little George street, West•ninater, saving that there were many thieves about, and that it would be safer if he could see to it in her absence. When he joined her she told him that a license could not be obtained at Gravesend. He left her, saying he would obtain one ; but as he did not return at the time ap pointed, she came to town and found that her house had been entirely stripped; not even her bed being left. She found that he had soli her furniture at a broker's in the New Cut.—Mr. Cottingham thought she had been treated in a most heartier; manner. He should direct the police to adopt measures for his capture, and sent one of the officers of the court to warn the broker not to dispose of any of the fur niture. THAMES.—Fatea PRETENCES.—Captain Milisted, an officer in the Danish service, and Beach, an American, were brought up on remand, charged with defrauding a Mr. Williams, an outfitter in Ratcliffe-highway, by obtaining money and goods from him under false pretences. It will he remembered that on Wednesday last the two prisoners were brought before Mr. Yardley, when Mr. Williams stated that they were both driven to his house in a cab, when Millsted inquired whether he could be accommodated with a lodging, repr; renting that he had claims on the Danish ambassador hero, amounting to 1,600 dollars, which would be paid him in a few days. He also pro- duced a document purporting to be a Danish bill of exchange, with several other papers relating to a pension due to him. On the faith of these representations he (Williams) adva ned him 2/., and subsequently clothes for both parties amounting to upwards of 151., and 51. more in hard cult No money being forthcoming, Wil liams; sent the bill t ) the Danish ambassador with an inquiry as Wits genuineness, and the answer returned was that it was perfectly worthless. Minded persisted in asserting his claim to be genuine, and the case wee remanded to allow of a communication being made with the ambassador. This day Mr. Hodgson, the solicitor, who attended for the de fence, said that an officer had waited on his Excellency Count Reventlow with the note of the proceedings, papers, &c., and he had expected M. de Bielke, the secre tary of the legation, would have been in attendance ; but he had since ascertained that that gentleman would not be in town till Monday next, and in consequence he had :not much further evidence at present to give. He then called James Christian Benson, who stated that he is a clerk at the Danish consul's office, and that Count Reventlow, the ambas-ador, had been there oa Thursday last, and that be certainly held the prisoner's passport, which passport described him as a naval officer, hut that he himself knew nothing whatever of hint Witness then banded a letter to the magistrate, which he said had arrived at the consul's office this morning for the prisoner, from Elsinore, and which was directed to Lieut. Millsted. His Excellency Count Reventlow had written to the Danish government on the subject —Mr. Yardley observed that the substantiation of the criminal part of the charge would depend entirely upon the information which would be received from Copenhagen, and an answer had not yet been returned. Sufficient evidence, however, had been given to warrant him in re manding Millsted ; hut as there was no evidence against Beach he might be discharged. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY Evairrxe. There has been a somewhat better tone about the stock market to-day. Consols opened at 881 to 1 for money and account, and subsequently advanced to 881 to 1, but finally left off at the former quotations. The transactions were, however, upon an extremely moderate scale, owing pro bably to the absence of so many of the leading operators who are making feast days and holiday!. Exchequer Bills were par to 3s. premium. Consols Scrip, Ito j dimmunt. Bank Stock for the opening, 2031 to 41. India Stock, 246 to 7. India Bonds, 3s. to ss. premium. The change of ministry in Madrid, and the elevation of Senor Salamanca to the post of Minister of Finance, have led to more active dealing in Spanish bonds. The Fives advanced to 231 to 4 ; the Threes, to 35 to j ; Deferred, to 16 to 1 ; Passive, to sto 1. Portuguese, 34 to 5. Mexican, 211 to 2. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents., 581 to 9; the Four., 901 to 11. New Granada, 191 to 201. The appointment of Senor Salamanca, so celebrated as a stack speculator, to the important pest of Minister of Finance appears to have been viewed with some suspicion at Madrid. The lack of men in:messed of financial know ledge, and never having turned it to the account of their private wealth, must excuse this choice. That he will bring to the task a much greater and more prac tical amount of financial and commercial knowledge and ex perience than any of his predecessors, excepting perhaps Mendizabal, can scarcely be doubted. Senor Mon, indeed, was not without ability, but a more reckless financier has seldom been placed at the head of the Spanish Hacienda. Whilst be was flattering the foreign creditors of Spain with high sounding but ambiguous parlance about the obligations of Spanish honsur for the fulfilment of national faith in resuming the payment of intereston the foreign debt of Spain, with satisfaction for arrears, he was all the while sending and sellinz in the money marts of this capital, of Paris, Amster dam:Brussels and Hamburg, large amounts of a new Three per Cent. Stock, created out of the domestic debt of Spain, or out of the necessities of the treasury, the interest on which, in order to insure its currency, was most punctually adver tised and paid, whilst the holders of the bonds of the foreign debt of Spain remained all the while, and still with the pompous phraseology of the promises to pay, but without one single peso duro in earnest. The appointment of Sala manca, therefore, is an event not without its hopes and pro,- pects for the foreign creditors of Spain, notwithstanding the unfavourable prepossessions naturally created by his former career, for he at least should be impressed with a full sense of the importance of redeeming national faith, and as he arrives at the treasury already wealthy to overflow, he has the leas temptation to imitate the conduct of Mon.
