Another teleg ra phic express up to yesterday, 4 m., in. p. forms us that two roes, said to have been ringleaders of the rioters, were made prisoaent, having been taken by the police in a publiohouse. The euly anxiety now felt has reference to the expected descent of the coal and iron miners of Airdrie, a numerous and desperate set, who nevertheless may have gems share of prudence sad remain in safety at a distance. We have since learned t hat a large body of idle people attempted to get up a meeting on the Green, but that they we re dispersed by the dragoons. Mr. Alexander, the provision merchant, who was shot , by the pensioners, has expired from the effects of the wound.

The vessel is supposed to be the "Bari Clowrie , " 01 Watrford. On Monday mo rn; ing the wreck was plainly visible e , and boats repair to the mainmast and some of the upper parts of the wreck were towed off. No Fart of the cargo has floated, and it is there fore concluded that the vessel must have been lodes with ballast. Few articles have as yet been found to lead to a full identification of the vessel, the place whence coming frem , or w hither she was bound. A chest, conta inin g boy's clothes, was picked up, and in it a paper which forms the ground work of the supposition thatthe vessel is the " Earl Gowrie."

It was addressed to the merchants and brokers. During the morning a deputation waited on Mr. Rushton, the stipendiary magi , trate, and besought him to lay their complaints before the mayor and other authorities. Their wish was complied with, and a meeting of the authorities took place soon after. They took the cue into considera tion, but came to the resolution of not interfering without the concurrence of the town council.

On Monday last the Mayor of Canterbury convened a pub- tic meeting in the Guildhall, pursuant to a requisition ' to consider the disadvantageous position in which this neigh bourhood is placed with reference to its metropolitan and district means of communication." R. G. Swann, Esq., severely animadverted on the conduct of the South-Eastern Compsey, Mating that in no one Instance had faith been kept with the public in the promises held out. lie ani madverted on the speech of the chairman of the company (Mr. Macgregor) at the opening of the line to Canterbury, when that gentleman said that their interest was le, identified with with that of the public , an d the lowest fares possib ample accommodation for the working part of the 10121111 - nity by ramming frequent third clam trains, were the plan they ea adopted, and he felt by experience that it was the most to the company's advantage. He then alluded to the first deviation from that principle by an advance of fares, &c., August last, at which time Mr . Macgregor held out to the public that it would only be temporary ; while in February last they had nearly doubled their original charge for first and second class fares, and curtailed he third c lass lass trains from *even trains per day, up and down, t to one. Swann concluded by moving the following resolution, which was seconded by ?dr. W. Sladden in a brief speech, and Carried unanimously : That this meeting, considering a cheep Ind Movenient means of communication emeatial to the public interest, look upon the aug mentation of the Wes, and curtailment of the trains,_dating from the v. of February last prat, en the Uneeof the South- .sateen Railway Company (heetofore already objectionable on some or all of these grpunde) as • sew and additional breach, not only of all the state. FI N prosaism, and deciarstione of that company, arid of the im egelleidente upon which its powers and privileges are founded, t aa a violation of the great oojecta, aborcnarnetl, to be de. rived from railway transit; and further, that it involve , the general roestimi of the extent and sc ope, the powers and privileges, which ymanifeetly abased. . Matthews submitted the next resolution; and in doing so observed that the South Eastern Company appeared, by their proceedings, remised to afford the public as little accommodation as possible, while they extracted all they could from the people's pocket', and established a corn pieta monopoly against trade and the public. Mr. Matthews alluded to some observations which had fallen from Mr. P. Greats% chairman of the Brighton Company, who had said it had become necessary for railway companies to make com mon cause for their own protection against the restrictions eiforeed by the legislative enectments ; and this he (Mr. Matthews) considered was ample warning to the public to call upon the legislature to protect the community by enact ments that would restrain the impositions attempted on them by railway speculators; and with these feelings he proposed, That this meeting considers it only due to then:MITE., their neigh. bowl in the same district. end to the general interest of the com munity, to refer the question to the government for its consideration, and that a memorial shall forthwith be forweided to Mr. Sott of wh o., ich the c hairman of the Railway Board, setting forth the grieranthe the meeting c om plain with respect to the amreniences ot communi cation engirded is this city and its neighbourhood. Jackson seconded the resolution, which was unani mously adopted.—lt having been named by Mr. Swans that a deputation of gentlemen connected with the Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company were present, as well as others immediately connected with the Herne Bay communi cation with the metropolis, Mr. Chadwick, chairman of the above company, was requested to offer his views en the sub ject for which the meeting had been called, when that gentle. man observed, that it had been fully shown that day, by those who bad addressed the meeting, that much was still required by the inhabitants of Canterbury and surrounding country he secure to them speedy and cheap communication with London; and he telt satisfied that this might be secured by the line with which he was connected by way of Unite Barr. The route could be accomplished within three hours and a quarter, and at the rate of about 55.6 d. fare for second class pasimr rs, taking that charge as a medium, while first class Would be a little mo re, an third class proportionably less.—Mr. Wootton remarked that he trusted this meeting might have the effect of at leant obtaining for the public a little more civility and consideration from the servants of the Sonth-liastern Company than was at present experienced. —Sir John Maxwell Tylden observed that nothiog would or ought to satisfy the inhabitants of this part of the country but a direct line from London to Dover, and which was attainable if the people would only "set their shoulders to the wheel," and take the matter into their own bends, by which they might shake this South-Eastern iron road to its foundation. lie thanked Mr. Chadwick for his attendance and the offers made, bat they wanted a direct railway, and not a continual change of mode of conveyance between here and London, and this was attainable if the public were but numero us in demanding it, and assisting by forming a company in shares of .10 1 . each , by w hich means the whole community would become interested, and a capital of 1,000,0001. realised in 100,000 shares. He (Sir J. Tylden) had been in communication with parties ready to further such a scheme, who were ready to carry out those views, and thus relieve the county of Kent from the dominion of a com pany of Liverpool merchants, as was the fact in the manage ment of the South-Eastern Comp q. as (Hear.) Sir J. Tylden further added that • guarantee should. be given to the enareholders that the cost of surveying and going to par liament would net cost each shareholder of 101. more than 71. 6d. ; and surely that small sum was worth venturing for the chance of obtaining a direct and independent line. Adopt this plan, added the speaker, and the Fame is woo. A resolution was then adopted, thanking the directors of ths Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company direct their at tendance, and for the very satisfactory prospects they hold out to the deism, of Canterbury of a much cheaper and more ozponaises tramit between their city and the metro baying been voted to the mayor, hie worship said that he had viewed with regret the proceedings of the floutkaalses Company, more particularly in restricting the thirdriaaa braise to the minimum, thus depriving the la bialise, sweallasity of this method of transit in attending toile* implerniat or sdierwisi, and could only sae one gu& eift mom gig them dosamadii!g hie' _f a res, which was the nabs awl amingspost way in whi ch their line had hautharialearha ussimeg Ikea bake up. ROTAL ITALIAN OPERA.—The Opera MUM g Covent -garden commenced het evening. The these. , pre sented the same appearance ea last year, with tbe Meeption of one change, which is m uch for the MOM Is pines se of the two elate and suffocating amphitheatres, "Welk mere teeth complained of, there is only one, which ladle now and comfortable, and greatly improves the whole aqua ef the house. The opera was " Tancredi," which, awls ells of the meet hackneyed pieces on the Italian stage, hes beest latterly so much laid snide, that its production is quite • revival, with something of the stet of novelty. It may be called Roesini's first opera, having been performed at Vendee when he was only twenty and had produced merely two dr I tares Juvenile pieces, long sines forgotten. Its music is wees beauttful; full of elegant melody and sparkling with bret liancy, but of too light and familiar • east for the deeply tragic drama to which it belongs. Its success has always mainly depended on the performance of the hero, a part written for a female cent:tato. It was one of Pasta's beat characters, whose fine, chivalrous personation of the youth ful warrior will net soon be forgotten ese who witnessed it. The highest expectations we r e formed of ' Mdlle. Albeni'a appearance in the part. On her entrance the was received with a burst of enthusiaatie welco reme inwhieh s h o wed how fresh her triumphs of last season we the I remembrance of the audience. But she failed to produce the anticipated h art:e and, indeed, her performance waa so much beseech wat we are certain she is capable of, that we can not but ascrihe her eom p ura tive feebleness to indispoei- I tion. She was gallantly attired, and looked the young hero I very well, bat her movements were languid, her demeanour constrained and cold, and her deelamation fine and staring were w i t h ou t force or energy. The I tire with which the part of Taneredi opens, and into which Pasta used to throw so much fire and !ses sion, wan ineffective ; and the famous " Di tanti palpiti " an air which (whatever may be thought of its dramatic fit ness) is one of the most charming that Romaini ever wrote, was passed over (for the first time in our remembrance) without an encore. The same cloud hung over Alboni's powers during the whole performance. She never roused herself to any energetic exertion, and consequently failed to produce an excitement which she herself did not seem to feel, though she frequently ga i n ed applause by her beautiful singing. D er voice, though its brilliancy wan under an eclipse, had its delicious sweetness and fullness of tone ; she pang with the moat refined and delicate execution, and in passages of a melancholy grain (such as Toricredi's deep*. Ind soliloquy in his solitary retreat), her expression wm quoite. We hope, when seat we hear this charming per former, that her powers will be fully restated. Madame Persisni achieved a great triumph in the character of Amenaide. Her welcome, too, was of the warmest kind ; and the emulate.e she received weavehement and unremitting. She showed herself to be in full possession of all her precious gifts of voice and execution; and her very first air, " Come doles all' alma raiz," was • spe cimen of florid singing which we believe to be unrivalled and inimitable. Her prison scene was beau tifully delivered ; the recitative. a model of passionate dis clamation, a nd the air, " No , the it morir non it," full of melancholy expression imparted to it. by her own genius, not that of the composer. The part of Argirio was per formed by Signor M-i, a debutant in this country. He bee a good tenor voice, and sings chastely and smoothly, but in a style too plain and unadorned, for the music demands good deal of florid embellishment. Signor Polestars admirable base voice, and vigoroas manner, were advan tageously dioplayed in the character of °rho:rano. The piece, in its ensemble, was admirably got up. The scenery was beautiful, and the spectacle remarkable for taste and splen dour. The chorus was p o werful, well disciplined, and effective ; and the orchestra, under the direction of its excel lent chef, Signor Costs (who was loudly cheered on mum leg his seat), is even superior to what it was last mason. There was a new ballet called " Follette, the Queen ot I the Fireflies." We can give no account of its plot (if it have one), because we could make nothing of it, even with the help of the " argument;" but it was a vehicle for some admirable dancing by Mdll of e. I Flora Fabhri, Silvain, and M. rattan and come pretty, tantastie evolutions by a number of young ladies, who, by the help of blue lights in their hair, represented as many animated ignesfatui. It wits, however, too long, and a large portion of the audience had departed before tts close. Between the opera and the ballet Save the Queen" was sung (not remarkably well). by the whole strength of the company, and received by the audience with warm and reiterated demonstrations of loyalty.

SIR CliAltLEtl FORRES.—PARTNERSE, ACCOUNTS.—This suit was instituted by the plainutf, who was formerly a partner in the house of Sir Chas. Forbes and Co., to obtain a decimation of the court that he was entitled to a proportionate part of the profits of the house, which were set apart from year to year under ths title of " suspense shun." The plaintiff :first became a partner in the year 1810, and remained in the firm till 1818, when he retired, and subsequently in 1821 he again became a partner, and continued so until 1842. It appeared that there had been no deed of partnership of any kind, but every person who became a partner had submitted entirely to the control and direction of Sir C. Forbes, and had received whatever share Sir Charles thought fit to direct. The profits were divided in different amounts at different periods, and a cert tin sum was from year to year act apart as suspense shares, and constituted a 'operate account. A great quantity of evidence was produced on both he sides, for the purpose of showi n g upon what principles t accounts were kept. For the plaintiff, it was contended that there having been no deed of partnership executed, he had a right to receive a share in all the profits set apart on the sus?ense account, and that during the time of his being a partner he had alwats received Isis share in equal propor tions with the other partners. For the defendant, Sir C. Forbes, it was contended that he had full right to apportion the shares of all the partners as he thought fit ; that he ment had a l wa y s exercised uncontrolled power over the manage of the concerns of the house, and the distribution of the profits ; and that the plaintiff had no claim to any further sum than he had already receiv ei K rF. elly, Mr. J. Parker, and Mr. A. Smith appeared for the plaintiff Mr. Betlull, Mr. Schomberg, and Mr. Lewis for the de fendant.—The hearing of the caee, which has occupied the court fur many days, is not yet concluded. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. AYLESBURY, Idencii 8. Omer , Corm—Before Sir F. Pu!Met, C. B. BunoLAßT.—Janies Clark, aged 21,was indicted for having felonioutly broken oat of the dwelling house of tbe Rev.G eine Bull, at Dorney, and stolen thereout a variety of articles, consisting of a watch and seals, a cup, a corkscrew, and a pencil-case. William Clifford was charged with felonously receiving the said articles. Mr. Sanders conduded the prosecution ; r. Newn fended Clifford; Clark was not represented M by counsel. de- The prisoner Clark was the groom of the prosecutor, and it would appear that on the morning of the 23rd of Sep tember last, the maid servant, on coming down stairs, found a door open, which led into the garden from the library. On this she recollected that during the night she had been disturbed by a mysterious sound of unbarring a door, and mentioned the circumstance to Clark, who occupied a bed room on the basement door, and must, as she conceived, have heard tl e noise. Nothing, however, could then no eli cited from him ,• but a further examination showing that the p ro perty named in the indictment was missed, Clark was further questioned as to the noise, and admitted that it had been oaccasion , d by his going out early to frighten the birds from the cherries in the orchard. On this Mr. Larkin, then a most active and eager member of the police, but now dead, was sent for, and he at once gave it as his opinion that the house bad been broken out of, - and not into. In a few days it appeared that a reward of 101. having been offered by the prosecutor, a man named Stockbridge gave certain infor mation to Larkin, who took him to the prosecutor. At that madea promise of 101. and of personal immunity was o aochbridge, who thereupon told them that Clerk THE B?LPRESS, FRIDAY ..wwwwwswwwwvwv•-•-__ had roles the,propeety, and taken it to Clifford, at a plate celled Monkey Island, where a portion of it had been secreted in a hole nese the water's edge, whiletbe residue was deposited at a nubile -house at Farnham. Laths and gt o nkbridp then west to Clifford with the constable o f Maidealtead, where some of th e proterty wee found, in the spot indicated, and Clifford, in giving it up, rid he was sorry that he had arrythidg - to do de with the job. Clifford and Clark were then taken into curody, and the latter stated, when before the magistrate, that he should not have done it it he had not been persuaded te it by Stockbridge ; and Stoekbridge, when examined to-day, admitted that he and Larkin h a d agr eed to chore a sum of 201 . , which Mr. Bud had offered as • reward for the discovery of the thieves. At the close of the case for the prosecution, The Chief Baron directed the jury to discard the testi mony of Stockbridge from their consideration, aa that of one altogether without credit. It was very clear that, with out that testimony there was not enough to call upon Clif ford for an answer to a charge ef knowingly receiving the stolen property. With respect to Clark there could he no doubt, fur his own statement admitted his guilt, while he showed that he had been instigated to it by Stcekbridge, whose evidence went to show, that Larkin had conducted himself in a most reprehensible manger—so much so, that, had not death removed him front his situation, he (the Chief Baron) should have done all his power to effect that The jury Acquitted Clifford and convicted Clark, whom they strongly recommended to mercy, on the ground that he had been made a tool of by Stockbridge. His lordship then sentenced Clark to 12 months' impri amount with hard labour. g. WBSTERN Miami CROWI. 0.T. 0 More Mr. JORGOR WiRhURIR. HIGHWAY Rommtar.—George South was indicted for air mulling John Persona, he being with three other persons armed with bludgeons, and robbing him of about 701. in gold and cheques. Mr. Stock was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Arany for ihe prisoner. It appeared that on the 44th of 'January Mr. Parsons, who is a farmer, was r eturnin g home on the Shaftesbury-road from Salisbury market, about half-past fire in tke evening ; he was in a gig, luxompanied by a men servant named Ityall. After proceeding between six and seven miles, four men um ped out of a plantation ; one man seized the re ins of the horse ; Rysll swore that that man was the prisoner, and Mr. Parsons believed that he was, but he could not swear to him. Mr. Parsons said, " What do you want ?" The prisoner, brandishing a large stick, said," We want money, and money we'll have ; get him ou t, look shar p . be quick about it." Two men then jumped up behind; and tearing open his great coat, searched all his pockets, arid took out a purse con taining about 301. in gold and silver, and two cheques, one for 441., and the other for 251. 17e. 6d. Mr. Parsons had a very large sum of moan, about him, but the robbers in their haste did not find it. The men then ran away, and Mr. Parsons procured a man named Hibbert to assist him. They all got into the gig and were g oin g in punuit of the men when they met a farmer named Brown, who had also come from Salisbury market, and who had met the prisoner and three other men in a villag e on the road. Mr. Parsons having communicated to Mr. Brown what had taken place, the latter took Hibbert into his gig, and then follow d e the four men, and driving very rapidly soon overtook them as they were turning into a field. Mr. Brown and Hibbert then se4ed the prisoner, and a desperate struggle en e su ri ed, but Mr. Parsons and a policeman came up and took th ironer ~to custody. Mr. Brown, when he met the four men in the village, took particular notice of them, as he thntlgilt they were suspicious-looking persons, and he swore positively to the prisoner. A singular circumstance came out in the COWS!) of the evidence —namely, that the prisoner and an other man had been seen in the plantation about half an hour before the robbery, cutting sticks, and upon comparing a large stick which the prisoner had in his hand with a bough in the plan , ation, they were found to correspond. Mr. Arney addressed the jury on the question of identity. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and be was sentenced to 14 years' transportation. Rouse SlEALll4o.—ThOnla3 Miles, Charles Caynes, Caynes, Joseph Dmone, and James Thompson, were Georg in , dieted for haring stolen * bay mare, the property of e Downing Hooper, at Wootten Bassett, on the 24th of October. Mr. Slade and Mr. C. Smith were counsel for the prose cution, and Mr. Ball defended Miles; Mr. Arney defended Csynes, and Mr. B. Bayley defended Down*. Thompson pleaded Guilty, From the evidence it appe ared that Mr. Hooper had a bay mare stolen from a fit Id at Woottoa Bassett, on the night of the 23rd of October. Mr. Templar also on the same night had a black mare stolen from another field at Wootton Bassett, and Mr. Day had a saddle Bolen from his stable on the same night. The four prisoners slept at an inn at Wootton Bassett on the night of the 22nd of October, and remained there all the nest day, but all left about eleven cl o'ock that night. Mr. Hoop er ' s field was opposite that inn. At 7 o'clock the next morning Miles and Thompson were at hielksharn riding a bay and a black mare, and the horse Thompson w.• riding had a saddle with blue girths, but without stirrups (being in the same condi lien as the saddle which was stolen from Mr. Day's). About half-pest 3 o'clock that afternoon Miles and Thomp son rode into Frome, on a bay and a black mare. They baited there, and then went away, taking the horses with them. The four prisoners were nest seen together on the 27th October at Tutnes, in Devonshire. They had a bay and a blak mare with thm. he slet at a inn in Totnes upy ingc the same room, e an d appeared to a be of one paily. occ On the next day, which was Totnee fair, the sold the two mares. On the 6th November, Mile. and Thompson went again to the ion at ?risme. They had then three horses with them. They went out for a short time, and on their return they were taken into custody. Shortly afterwatdo Caries came, and inquired if two men had been there with three horses, one of which he described. He was told they were gone out for a abort time. He said be would wait, and during the time he was waiting he was taken into custody. Downs The p was ap risoners had made statements , chiefly inculpat ing each other. The jury found all the prisoners Guilty, and they were transported for seven years. Escape or • PRISONER. -- On Tuesday a prisoner, who had been tried and convicted of sheep-stealing, tether late in the afternoon, on going below, went to the water-closet, and remained there until the trials were con cluded, when the prisoners were removed from the court house, with the exception of the prisoner, who was forgotten. He remained in his retreat fir some time, when, finding the coast clear, he quietly walked off. He has, however, since been apprehended at Winchester. APPLICATION roe RELaass.—Mr. Poulden, on the part of the Post-office authorities, made the following motion be fore Mr. Justice Wightmau : It appeared that a lad, 10 y e ars of age, had been committe d on the 3rd December, 1847, fur stealing a half-sovereign from a letter at the post office at Wootton Bassett. Mr. Poulden stated to the court that, the matter having been laid before the Attorney-Oe neral, ka had consented that the prosecution should be with drawn. Mr. Poulden, therefore, requested that the recog aisancea might be discharged, and that the lad might be given up to a gentleman who was willing to take him into his service.—Mr. Justice Wightman said that course wou be wait satisfactory, ani immediately granted the application.ld NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DUItnAII, MARCH 8. MURDER AT RARE CASTE/I.—The court met this MOM ing at 9 o'clock, and proceeded with tbe trial of William Thompson (27), William Doman (28 ), and Joseph Olafield (32), who were charged with the wilful murder of John Shirley, a whipper-is of the Duke of Cleveland, on the 2nd of February last. The case occupied the court till nearly 8 o'clock. His grace was present on the bench dur ing the whole of the trial, and paid marked and serious at tention to its progr M ees—r. Serjeant Wilkins, Mr. Mat thews, and Mr. Pashley were for the prosecution ; and Mr. Bliss and Mr. Tvghy Seymour for the prisoners—Mr. See jeant Wilkins stated the case at length, as detailed in the f o ll ow ing evidence : —Joseph Cockerell examined by Mr. Matthews : I am a game watcher to the Duke of Cleveland. On the morning of the 2nd of February last I was at the house of John Shirley. We left the house together about half-pa-t 7. I heard the report of a gun in the direction of the willow beds. The willow beds are a game preserve In Ruby Park. Shirley was a whipper-in. We proceeded We in the direction of the willow beds, after hearing the shot. I stood under a beech tree, and saw four or five men. Re- cognised Thompson and Dowson to be two of the men. Thompson had a gun. He said, " I will shoot, I will shoot." Dowson had a gun also, and he said, " Stand back, or I will fire." Before the words were well out of Dowson's mouth Thompson fired. Shirley immediately cried out, " I am shot through the arm," and instantly stood forward and struck Thompson on the left side of the head with his stick. While this was going on I saw Thompson knock Shirley off from Dowsos. Doweon and Shirley were s t rug gling together, Dowson having first struck Shirley with the gun. Shirley had got Dowson down on the ground, and was on the top of him. Shirley cried out, " Joe, for God's sake, if you are not shot, come to my assistance, for I cannot survive many minutes." I was still struggling with the other man, and on hearing this I told him to give over, and pushed him away. He struck me two blows with his stick, one on the right eye, and the other on the left side of the head. They were violent blows, and i rendered me insensible. 'When I recovered I saw the man standing looking at me. I was not insensible long. I also observed Shirley lying on the grass, and Dawson was beat ing him with a stick or the butt-end of his gun, on the head. I said, "Fur God's sake, don't murder Shirley." Thomp son, I believe, then said, " Don't kill him out: if its Shirley you've done enough." Dowson struck at him no more, and both went away. The other man followed us about eight or ten paces. I put my right arm under Shir ley's left arm, and supported him to the cover edge. I afterwards wok him to Richardson's cottage in a wheel barrow. We sent for a surgeon; before he came I examined Shirley's wounded arm, and took a wadding out of the middle of the wound and gave it to Jane Richardson. It was a leather wadding. Shirley afterwards died. I made a search and found my own end Shirley's hat, a woollen cap, a hai cap, and a pair of gun barrels. I have seen Dowson wear a ry cap like the hairy cap. I remember seeing Thompson. I afterwards, on the Bth December, saw Thompson and Dow son at Barnardcaetle. Dowson said if he had known where I was he would have gone and taken some of my pheasants, and if I bad come he would have paid me ; and as for George May he would give him such &tanning that he should not be able to get to his house again. May was a watch. r to the Duke of Cleveland, and was about the same height and bulk as Shirley when he was dreesed. E. Monument deposed to some of the articles in the place where the struggle ensued belonging to the prisoners. A. Raine, examined by Mr. Matthews: I am a sergeant of the Durham county police, at Staindrop. I was called up at near one o'clock on the morning of the 3rd of February. I went to Thompson's house, and was let in by his mother. I found him in bed. I charged him with being one of the I, 1848 ''- "2...:=.-..----:--"--.-"—....-------- party w ho had made en attar* on the Duke of Clev e la nd ' s watchers, the night before. HeSsaid he was not them, and knew nothi about it. I observed • wound above his left iris, sad asked him how he got that. He said be was drunk, mid Mil fallen as he was going up the street. I observed senigillOgil upon his shirt breast, and asked him how it tame likile, simi he said from the wound above his eye. I re blot to put on his clothes. He did so. I then asked err lig eap, and be produced • dark blue cap and a hat. I I then asked for his grey cap, and ha said he had not one. I I have seen him wear a grey cap. I did n ot sa y more =but took him to my house. This i s the grey cap, I now produce, and which I got from the gamekeeper. I bays seen Thompson wear a cap like this two or three times. I observed his browsers were rather wet at the bot tom. I saw Thompson on the morning of the 2nd of Fe bruary. I afterwards went to Dewson'e. I had seen Dow son with Thomann, at Staindrop. near 11 o'clock on the morning before. Doman was in bed. I charged him with being one of the party who had made the attack on the gamekeepers. When I asked how Dowson had got the blood on his shirt, his wife said his nose had been bleeding. I afterwards apprehended Oldfield at Coekfir ld, on the Fri ' day following, the 4th of February, from a description 1 had received of him from Priestman.

WORSHIP-STREET.—ArranrTED MORDEIL —Maria Hodges was charged with feloniously cutting aid wounding Benjamin Wenman, with intent to murder him —Conetable Roes stated that that morning he was called into the house, No. 7, Angel-court, Whiteehapel, where be found the in jured man supporting himself against the wall in a lower room, with the front of his dress covered with blood, which was flowing profusely from a frightful woue,cl in the right temple. by a w Ha Ti 7s g m "c an e wlio ain w e d as fr i o n m th th e bed roo m in man thet u h p e had en stabbed he proceeded there, and found the prisoner standing near the bed, partly undressed. She at once exclaimed, " I have done it, and don't care if I am hung for it" The prisoner at the arms time pointed to a pen knife which was lying on the pillow, and the blade of which had been broken off close to the handle, and told him that she believed the other part of it was buried in the man's head. She stated further that the had been living for some time with the man, and on apprising him that morning that she was in a preg mint state be answered with great harshness that be should do nothing for her, and that she must provide for herself in the best way she could. Prisoner was then conveyed in custody to the station-house, and the wounded man was re moved to the London Hospi tal. It having been intimated that the man was in • state of great danger, Mr. Ilammill immediately proceeded to the hospital, accompanied by Mr. Ilurlstone, the second clerk, and took duwa his depositions (in the presence of the prisoner), to the following effect : I" I have bean living with the prisoner since Monday last, but had been intimate with her for some time previouslr. I got up this morning at six o'clock, but she persuaded me to lie down again, which I did, and fell asleep, hut was awoke by a sharp pain, and felt that I was wounded oa the temple. The prisoner was standing at the bed ! aide with a penknife in her hand, end seizing hold of my hair she turned my hea d round, and attempt , d to stab me on the other side. I jumped out of bed and struge gled with her ; but she got outside of the bedroom door, and kept hold of the handle so as to prevent me from following her. I managed at last to make my way down stairs, bleed ing " furiously" from the head, and roused the people of the house, who sent for a policeman. I have suffered great pain, and felt very faint and sick since I received the injury. The prisoner was then brought back to the court, and Mr. I Henry Welsh, house surgeon at the hospital, attended, and deposed that the man Wenman was brought there at 8 o'clock that morning in a state of extreme exhaustion, and suffering from an incised wound in the temple, which bad severed the temporal artery. The wound was three-quarten elan inch in depth, and must have been inflicted with some sharp instrument. He had probed the wound, but without being able to discover the fragment of the blade. He did not con ssider the patient in imminent danger at present, but the lightest exertion might cause the wound to be re-opened and I liad to a fatal termination.—When culled upon for her defence, the prisoner said that the man Wellman Ind been the cause of great troukle and anguish to her, and that she left her last situation on Monday night at his instigation. On the preceeing evening she complained to him that she felt sc unhappy that she did not care how anon she was oat of the world, when he elied that the sooner she was out of it the better, and he r ded not care what she su ff ered, es he was determined to do nothing for her. He afterwards alma her grossly, and made repeated attempts to strike her • but she had no intention of injuring him, and merely took , up the penknife to frighten him, when he suddenly started up, and received the wound before she had time to withdraw her hand.—The prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH STREET. WINDOW - BREAK ING. A number of disorderly persons made their , appearance in Regent - street abou t six o ' clock on Wed nesday evening, and commenced breaking windows, ap parently out of • wanton disposition for mischief. Mr. Glen, baker, had his windows broken. Messrs. Swan and Edgar, Messrs. Addison and Co., Mr. Gregory, and Mr Nock, were the principal sufferers. The police were apprised of what was going on, and they instantly proceeded to Regent-street, and took effectual steps to quell the spirit of mischief which was exhibiting itself; and, to convince these who were taking part in the disturbance that such a couree could not be indulged in with impunity, the police pro ceeded to use their truncheons unsparingly on the legs and shoulders of the " roughs," wherever they could be found, and the result was, that is five minutes the street was cleared, and the mob flying in all directions. Four men, John Sealey,lVilliam llooy, Michael Murray, and James Ireland, were taken into custody for rioting and breaking windows. The offences were clearly brought home to the defendants, and they were fined St., or one month's Imprisonment. In consequence of the wanton mischief done to the shops and windows of adesmen on Wednesday night by a mob, civilly of bo ys aud persons of bad cheese:sr, from the leMlltts of Peter-street, Tothill-fields, and Chelsea, a large dandier of the most respectable inhabitants and shopkeepers ee st. James's parish voluntarily presented themselves yes terday morning, before Mr. Bingham, the sitting magis tido, to be sworn in as special constables. Between 100 MAW inhabitants were then sworn in, amongst whom we reed std Lord De Grey, the late Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. MARYLEBONE. COMPLAINT AOAINAT OMNIBTB DRICERS.—Mr. Clarkson, barrister, attended before Mr. Long to prefer a charge against G. liechant, driver of • Paddington omnibus, belonging to Mr. l'earce.

They bad, how ever, given notice of their intention to apply to the railway commit !WORTS for an extension of time for two years to complete the works. A small sum had been expended in permanent repains of the Kensing ton Canal. The traffic on the cretin showed a trifling increase.

A resolution was then pawed empowermg the diem. tors to take steps to mAani compensation from the lemma MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY EVENING. The troubled state of political affairs is leading, on the continent, to a scarcity of hard money, which may be attributed to the hoarding always prevailing more or less in such circumstances. Credit, as the first result, becomes more restricted, and is more dearly paid for. Thus the rates of interest are every where rising. In France, as a politic measure to stop the run on the savings banks, which threatened to become seriously inconvenient, the government has found it advisable to advance the rate of' allowance to depositors to 5 per cent. The revenue will be so much: the more burdened to make good the difference. The current rate of interest will be higher still, and various according to the acci dents of the day as in this market last year. The finan cial confusion at Vienna must be great, although there are no very precise accounts direct, since Austrian Nletalliques are said to have been offered at 70 and even 68 at Frankfurt without finding takers. Advices from Amsterdam of yesterday, received this afternoon, report that money, lately so easy and abundant there at 3 and 4 per cent., was then worth 5 per cent., and was so charged on the best bills. Belgium, as shown by the law cited this morning, was inviting, by legalising the import and currency of foreign specie, the English sovereign and Dutch silver florin. Spain appears to be inundated with base money of all sorts of coinages, and is preparing, so far as the state of the exchequer may allow, to refound a legitimate coinage. From Amsterdam the six failures reported under this head two or three days since, as advised via Bel gium, come confirmed, and it was feared that more must follow. Among the most important of these failures may he mentioned the houses of Messrs. Bleeker and Jeosting, De Haar, Dommer and Co., and Lamaion and Bruwer. It is stated, however, that these firms are possessed of ample securities to answer all responsibilities, and to spare, hut that u nder present circumstances they arc absolutely in convertible and unavailable. The continued depression of the funds under such discouraging accounts from abroad will readily be us derstood. The fall has now extended so far, and the compromises in many individual instances must be so serious, that brokers and dealers are beginning to feel the necessity of actisg with much circumspection. The transactions, therefore, become less active and more restricted in amsunt. Consols opened this morning at 817„ and after various fluctuations left off at 801 sellers both for time and money. Reduced Threes 801 to 1 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents were done at 811 ; Long Annuities, 8 11-16 to I. Exchequer Bills, 255. to 295. premium. The foreign market laboured still under the same depression, with much difficulty in effecting sales. Spanish were lower ; the Fives at 111 to 121; the Threes at 221 to 31 ; Passive at 3to 1. Portuguese, 16 to 18. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 414 to 31; the Fours, 71 to 3. From Amsterdam the Threes came quoted yesterday at 411 the lowest, and 421 the highest ; the Fours, 67 to 68. Mexican, 141 to 2 . Chilian, 85 to 90. Brazilian, 77 to 9. The decree of the French government for establish ing banks of discount in Paris and all the great cost- issrstal cities of France, will, it is feared, tend greatly in its results to embarrass public credit. It in pre. posed that the state shall become a partner to th e extent of one-third of the capital in these banks, such third not, however, to be contributed in specie, s first supposed, but in treasury bonds. Another third is to be composed of bonds of the cities where the banks will be located ; and the remaining third, to be subscribed by the commercial interests, is alone to be paid in specie. The inevitable result of ouch an extensive addition of Treasury no t es , and of municipal securities, would seem to be a de. preciation in their current value, and in that corre spondingly of all public security. As discount ac. commodatton, to be of any . real service in France, must be afforded in specie, it is difficult to under stand how, without an immense cost, the treaeary and municipal paper can be turned into francs. The Bank of Havre, on announcing the reopening of its offices for business, and fixing the rate of die. count at 5 per cent., has advised the public al so that, until further order, no more than 2.;0 franca in ' specie (101.) will ho paid out to each person pre. senting notes per day. From Marseilles the accounts are more favourable, and commercial affairs were resuming more activity as confidence was gaining ground. The suspens ion of a banking-house had, however, temporarily cea se d some derangement. The Belgian Minister of Finance has laudably take n the initiative of that more thorough reform which may be hoped for of the odious grievance which pr.-secs still more adversely on the public than it is oppressive to the special interests of the press, agai ns t • and for the injury of which it would appear to have been designed and to be perpetuated. The duty hes been abolished in Belgium on all advertisements for ren dering public the days on which philosophical and literary exercises and lectures are to take place in establishments for instruction, aid which shall simply enumerate the subjects or give the programme of the heads and objects of the exercise*. The amount de rived by fiscal extortion from the advertisement tax seems really and comparatively so unimportant, that its continuance here or elsewhere on the score of its being a material source of revenue serves only to ex cite more strougly the suspicion of its retention being grounded on quite other considerations than those avowed.

AMSTERDAM, MARGE, 7.—lt is again oar painful duty to announce several failures. From the state of the funds during the last week we might have expected rosily more. Our Boone, under those molamholy circutmtaata, has suffered greatly. Even the very low prices of yesterday were not sustained to-day. Several forced sales were Inds, and these to much depressed the market by checking the inclination to buy that the prices of all funds again foil. The.° who had read the remarkable manifesto of Luautins before Bourse time i zpccted that the peaceable mutate contained therein would have operated more favourably upon the fund.; and this would probably Liget been the ease if the abovementioned failures had not taken phew, and the forced sales which followed them bad not comae acted a better tone. la Dutch and Spanith funds there was some animation, but in the others nothing was done.
