IRELAND. 15. Dunt.ix• Dr.r. In the several Roman catholic chapels of Dubha yesterday morning, the fact that the decrees of the synod of %hurles are to come into operation on and I firm the first day of the in w year, 11.11, was an nounced from the altars. The statutes themselves were not read, but it was explained that the greater 1 portion of them had reference to the introduction of a stricter discipline in the administration of the ma craments, and in the observance of all their official , duties on the part of the clergy. The past circum stances of this country were alluded to, for the purpose of showing that owing to the prohibi tory laws which existed here in times gone by, the functions of the Homan catholic church could not be fulfilled according to the strict forms, and hence that various übuses crept in, such as those of celebrating Divine service and ad ministering the sacraments in private houses. &c. To reform those abuses and restore the exercise of religion to its stricter forms, as far as the present circumstances of society permitted, was, it was ex plained, the main object of the " Plenary, or Na tional Council of 'lhurles," as it is termed, the third, or at most, the fourth council of that kind held in Ireland since the introduction of Christianity. AS far as I have learned, no ullusion was made to the decrees concerning the Queen's Colleges; but it was simply announced that from the Ist of January next Divine service shall not be performed, except in the churches and chapels, nor any of the rites of the church, except extreme unction, administered on any account, unless iu those places of public worship. Further details relative to the decrees were promised for next Sunday. The Lord Primate has appointed the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench to the office of Vice-Chancel or of Dublin University, vacant by his own elevation to the Chancellorship. The Mail of this evening announces the sudden death of the Ike. Dr. Sadltir, l'rovost of Trinity College. Ile dined with his family as usual, and before 10 o'clock at night was found dead in his bed. The emoluments of the proeustehip are estimated at about 4,1011. per annum. The appointment is in the gilt of the crown. SPORTING. TATIERSALL'S.—MosnAT.

Mcrota TEL bin CI INC* Ex PAWL DVSS, IN EE B01,01:011 OP ST. MAUTLEMONE JOINIISTOPIL BANKING COMPANY. The argument in this ease, briefly mentioned in the Far ns of Tuesday, was resumed yesterday. In 1836 Mr. Beak was a director in the then proposed banking com pany, and paid • deposit on • certain amount of shares. He was active in promoting the scheme, hut, disagreeing with his codirector', he retired. His retirement took plan after the deed wu dated, but before it was executed by Oar person. The advertisement of his retirement, however, was not published until after the execution of the deed. He subsequently received, back his depoit, and four years after ward, the company was broken up and the scheme aban doned. Muter Xindersley, in proceedings under the Winding-up Acts, placed Mr. Busk's name on the bst of contributories in respect of 50 shares, but on appeal to Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce his Honour held that Mr. Busk ought not to be placed on the li,t. The argument was not concluded at the rising of the court, and we emsequently po•tpone our report of the case. Beene VIrMCIII•CtUAS vie R. Rivosaeurv. IT RE THE WoLVERHAMPoN, CHESTER, AND ISTEEZN. READ JelvCrioN RAILWAY COMPANY—MI PASTE ROL. RoTD AND INGHATI.—WINDING•VP ACTS.—LIABILITY Or CoNTRIBUTORIRS. This was a motion on behalf of Mr. Ilolroyd and Mr. Ingham, that their names might be diicharged from the list of contributories to the abase company, under the following circumstances. These gentlemen had originally been placed upon the list, on the ground that they had been provisional committeemen. This was previous to the decisious in Cottle's ease anti Upfill's ease, when it was decided that to make a person liable as a contributory, it was necessary to prove not only that be had been a provisional committee man, but also that he bad accepted shares in the cora -1 pany. After the effect of these two decisions had be come known, nn application was made to the Master (when he was about to make a call upon the contributories) to review his report with respect to those gentlemen who had merely been placed on the list on accout.t of their being provisional .ommittermen. The Master refused to review his report, but had suspended the order for a call until a motion should have been made to the court upon the subject. An application was then an ide to Lord Gran worth for leave to appeal from the decision of the blaster. His lordship upon that occasion gave leave to appeal, but put Mr. Holroyd upon an undertaking not to adopt any proceedings for obtaining repayment of a rum of 1201. paid by him, as he alleged, for the sake of peace, and not on the ground eat his being liable to contribute that amount towards the expenses of the company. Mr. Holt and Mr. Selwyn now moved that the names of these two gentlemen should be taken out of the list of con tributories, and contended that the authorities had clearly established ' that unless a provisional committeeman had I actually accepted shares he could not be made liable as a contributory. Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Roxburgh, for the official assignee of the company, contended that there was no evidence now before the court upon which it could form an opinion as to the merits of the case. When the affairs of the company were being wound up by the Master, it had been decided by the Vice-Chancellor that being a provisional committee man was sufficient to make a person liable ' • consequently the Master had refused to hear any further evidence. There were affidavits since filed in this case to show that these gentlemen bad also accepted shares, hut the case ought to be gent hack to the Master to decide whether there was sufficient evidence now to make them contri butories upon the law, as at present established by the authorities. The Vice-Chancellor said he was clearly of opinion that upon these winding-up acts it was not meant that the court should in any ease decide in the first instance, but only by way of appeal from the Master's find ing. In this case it was clear that the Master had come to the conclusion that Mr. Holroyd and Mr. Ingham should be included in the list of contributories upon the law as it stood at that time. Subsequent decisions had, how- I ever, altered the view then taken of the law, and it was therefore necessary that the Master should review his report. The only question in his mind was whether he ought now to direct the names of these gentlemen to be erased from the list without prejudice to any future application to the Master, or whether he ought to make an order directing the Master to review his report. Under all the circumstances, his opinion was, that the best course would he to order these gentlemen's names to he struck out of the list without pre k Wicee to any appliestiou to he made to the Master to put their names on again upon further evidence being orodueed before him to show that, under the present construction of the law, they ought to be made contributories. A motion was then made on behalf of Mr. Holrord that Use order fur a call made by the Master might discharged. ADMIRALTY, DEC. 16.—APPOINTMENT.—Acting• Assiutant Sunman F. Ilardinge, to Tortoise.

This was an action similar to several which have been already tried, it being to recover deposits paid upon shares in the Dover and Deal Railway Company, of which Lord Londesborough was one of the managing Directors. Two hundred shares in this scheme were allotted to the plaintiff, who paid 4201. deposits upon them ; of this Corn 2001. had been returned, and the present action was to recover the balance. The foundation of the action was that the scheme had entirely failed, and also that a circular sent with the letters of allotment contained a statement that in the event of the act not lacing obtained the whole of the deposits I should be returned. Nearly the whole of the circumstances were admitted to be the same as in the previous eases, and a verdict was then taken fur the plaintiff for 2201. The defendant's counsel tendered a bill of exceptions. JCPII (SURVIVOR, &C.) C. THE GREAT WESTERN RAIL WAY COMPANY.—Loss or A BALE OF SILK. The plaintiff in this action is the surviving partner of the firm of Jupc and Butt, silk throwsters, in business in Wilt shire, and he sued to recover about 2901., the value of a bale of silk, said to have been lost through the negligence or felony of the company's servants. The plaintiff called witnesses to prove that on Saturday tho 20th April, 18.50, the eight bales of silk were delivered to tap company at the Westbury station, to be carried to Messrs. Durant and Company, of Cupthall-court, London. On Monday, the 22nd April, seven of the bales were perly delivered, but the eighth never reached its destine lion, and it was to recover the value of it that the present action was brought. It appeared that the course of ben- ness was for parcels to be taken from the terminus in Mr. Sherman's vans, to the Bull a,,il Mouth. Upon the occa sion in question the goods were placed in one of these vans, driven by a person named Moore, assisted by a little boy, , who was placed in the witness box, and who stated that lie ' was now about 14 years of age. Moore left the station with the van, and then, in accordance with his usual custom, he went to his house in the neighbourhood to get his breakfast, and was absent for about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. Whilst he was absent the boy sat upon the kerbstone, opposite the van, and ate his breakiiint, which had been brought him by his brother. The boy then rude with the van to the Bull and Muuth. The Chief Justice said it did not seem to him unnatural that goods should be lust when the man went to his break fast and left the van with a little boy like the one they had seen. It appeared that leaving the van with the boy was a regular practice, and ho thought it was a very bad mac To enable the plaintiff to recitar upon this record, he mate show that there was felony by some of the company's see. Sante, or that the goods had been mis-sent by them. If the bale was lost between the terminus and the Bull and Month, ' then the verdict must be fur the defendants. Several of the company's servants were then called, and their evidence was that the goods had been safely sent away from the termious in the van that went to the Bull and Mouth. The Chief Justice, in his summing up, directed the jury that the main question fur them was whether there had been a felony committed by the company's servant*, and it was the business of the plaintiff to show affirmatively that there had been. Nobody could doubt that, if they were sitting in a criminal court, they would be of opinion that there was not the slightest ground to support a charge of felony. It had, however, been said that the goods were mis-sent, and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to a ver dict ; and he was of opinion that, if they had been mis sent, the defendants were guilty of a conversion, uad were liable upon the count in trover. The question in another form was this, " Were the eight bales put upon the van at the Paddington Station?" for if they were, they would pro bably be of opinion that they were not stolen by any of the company's servants or mis-sent. The jury retired from court to consult upon the matter, and at the end of half an hour they came back. The Chief Justice (to the jury)—Do you find that the goods were feloniously stolen by certain servants of the de feedanta ?" The Foreman—We find for the plaintiff. 'f he Chief Justice—Do you find that the goods were fe 'v stolen by the company's servants ? neman—We find that they were not stolen by the of the company. A Juryman—We can't come to a decision to fix the luny on any one. The Chief Justice—Wave the goods put on board the • ? The Foreman—lt is our opinion that eight bales arrived at Paddington, but that only seven of them were put in the van. Some diseussim then ensued between his lordship and the jury as to their opinion upon whether the goods had been ma-sent, but the jury were not agreed upon the mat. ter, and they therefore again retired and were absent for an hour. Upon their return The Chief Justice said—Do you find that the hale was tloniously stolen by certain servants of the defendants? The Foreman—We find for the plaintiff upon both counts. _ _ - . . The Chief Justice—Do you find that the goods we duniously stolen by servants of the company ? The Foreman—We do. The Chid Justice—Aud do you find that the goods we lie-sent ? The Foreman—Yes. The Chief' :lusti;:s-That is impossible, gentlemen; you cannot find fur the plaintiff on both counts, fur if the goods were stolen they were nut mis-sent. A Juryman—We find for the plaintiff on the first count. The Chief Justice—That is a verdict fur the defendants on the second count. Several jurymen—No, no. The Chief Justice—Do, pray forgive me for making this observation. I SID sorry you have found in the way you have ; fur it is a verdict which cannot stand. A juryman—We acted conscientiously. The Chief Justice—No doubt of it, gentlemen ; nobody agines anything else. 'The Attorney-General said it happened fortunately that the first count would turn out, he expected, to be a perfectly immaterial lame. The vi edict was then entered for the plaintiff upon the first issue, and fur the defendants upon toe second. I___ Sanaa Rga 'alias Nast*. RI THE PININ•NT ABU CEAIUREN COSEOLIDATID LEAL. MINING COMPANY, 11-PAMIR SMITH ASO OVIEILE.-A JOINT STOLE COMPANY UN THE COST BOON SVATEM. _ iltiswasal;iition for winding up the above company under the provisions of the Winding-up Acts by the di rectors of the company. It appeared that in March, 18-1 a party of gentlemen formed themselves into a company . called "The l'ennsnt Lead and Copper Mining Company, at Diens Mowddwy, in the county of Meriuneth, North Wales, fur the purpose of working it upon the Cost Book system. The mine, it appeared, bad been held by a Mr. William Washington Mansell, who was afterwards secretary to the company under an agreement fur a lease from the lord of the manor in which the mine was situate, for • term absolute of twenty-one years from March, 1845, on the usual royalty of one-tenth, or a bleeping rent of 20W., after wards raised to 2301. per annum. A prospectus was shortly afterwards issued, and various parties took shares, a capital of about 3,2091. was raised, and arrangements were made for commencing the working of the mine. The company went on working the mine without success but with en couraging prospects until the Ist of April, 1818, when there appeared a deficiency of 4.161. th. Bd., add in the month of May in the same year the company obtained an advance of money front Sir Claude Scott and Co., bankers, amounting to 8001., to enable them to carry un their works, and then, after making up the deficiency and paying all their liabili ties, they appear again to have had a balance iu hand to their credit of 316/. 13s. Id. About the 3rd of June, 184/1, the company entered into negotiations with another com pany, who were working an adjoining mine called "The t:raigwen Lead Mining Company," and ultimately the amalgamation of the two companies took place, and a joint company was formed under the name of " The l'ennant and Craigwen Cousolidated Lead Mining Company." Rules were then drawn up for the government of the companies as amalgamated, and an issue of new shares took place. This amalgamation appears to have excited some prejudice in the minds of the shareholders in the Pennant convent., and several influential persons reliuguiedted their shares, rind with drew front the undertaking altogether ; in conse quence of which, it is believed, the amalgamated com pany became embarrassed. and notwithstanding that new shares were issued and calls made in the company amal gamated, the difficulties continued to increase, and the only sum realised by the sale of the ore from either com pany we* under 2001., end consequently the liabilities of the company amounted to upwards of 3,000/., and various claims became messing on the directors, and for which they were answerable, but which they were unable to meet. An action was commenced against one of the petitioners, Mr. George Richard Metzler, a director, and •Mr. Bartholomew Dawes, another director of toe company, two of the present petitioner., in which action a suns of 361. 104. was claimed for stationery goods suppli d to the company, and such action wasotayed by the defendants agreeing topay such debt with coats on the hide December Met. Another action was brought by the lessor of the Pennant Mine against another of the petitioners yin. Capt du Thomas Ruse,* shareholder, and Riehard Ma rshall Smith, fur about 4001. for rent of , the mine. The petitiouers were threaten. el with other proceedings at the suit of other creditors, although the company professed to be formed on the cost book system, it was not suggested by any party that the system protected any shareholder from individual responsibility to the credi tors' but on the contrary the actions had been submitted to. The director., on finding themselves in difficulties, brought before the shareholders ut a general meeting the state of the company's finances, and proposed a call to pay of their liabilities, but a majority of the shareholders refused to sanction such call being wade, although leveret of them were in arrear for calls that had been previously made, and upon remonstrance by the directors, was of the defaulters excused themselves by alleg ing that shareholders to larger amounts were defaulter and they did not see why they should pay their arrean, whilst the larger defaulters held out. It WAS deemed neces sary, under these circumstances, that the company should be wound up under the Joint Stock Company's Winding-up Act. Mr. Daniel and Mr. Roihurgh, in support of the peti tion to wind up, were Leard ou Wednesday last, at some length. Mr. MaHu and Mr. J. V. Prior were now heard for the respondents. Most.. Bush, one of whom was an auditor of the cont piny, and resisted the order to wind up. principally on two grounds: drat, that there was, in tact, no crosolidated company, inasmuch as its formation was dependent on conditions, which they alleged were unfulfilled: secondly, on the ground that the present position of the c ompany was owing to a misappropriation of the loud by the directors, and that, at the it instance, an order to direct the affairs of the company to be wound up ought not to be made. They submitted that the petitioners were entitled at most to an inquiry before the Master, whether it would be fur the benctit of all partii s that the company should be wound up. Mr. Henry Stevens and Mr. Morris appeared for two shareholders who had been sued, and supported the applica tion to wind up. His honour reserved his judgment until to-day. The Vice-Chancellor now made the order, having stated the condition of the company at some length, and he thought that neither of the objections was tenable. It Mr. Bush, the auditor, had any equitable rights he would be able to insist ou them on the proceedings before the Muter, and upon the affidavits it did not appear io him that there had been any misapplication of the Nada As to the sag potion that there should be a preliminary referencia, the Witness—l told your fortune very pleasantly, when I brought you money. (Laughter.) Mr. llorry—how long is it siuce you have given any one • brief in this court ? Witness—l gave you one two years ago. Mr. Horry—Now, I te.k you again, do you not get your living by telling fortunes ? Witness—l told yours very pleasantly. (Laughter.) The Recorder told the witness again that she must answer the question. Witness—Mr. Horry knows I am not a fortune-teller. He has no business to ask such questions. Mr. Horry—Have you not been committed to prison for fortune-telling ? Witness—No. I was once committed to prison for en assault. A person spit in my face, and I had a pint pot in my hand, and I gave him a crack over the head with it, and I would serve you the same if you were to spit in my face. (Roars of laughter.) Some other witnesses were then called, whose evidence tended to contradict different statements made by the de fendant in support of the charge she made against the prosecutor, awl this closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Horry addressed the jury. He said he believed that when they had heard all the facts of the case they would be of opinion that the present charge ought never to have been preferred, and that there was in reality no ground for saying that the detendant had wilfully and corruptly sworn that which she knew to be false. The original charge lied undergone a most careful inquiry by an intelligent magi,- trate, who had committed the prosecutor for trial upon it, and after a long investigation, the jury having heard all tbe facts and all the evidence that was brought forward by the party accused, had returned a verdict of guilty, and the present proceeding was really nothing morn than an attempt to make the Central Criminal Court a court of appeal against its own decisions. The learned counsel then stated that it would be his duty to call all the witnesses who were examined in support of the original charge, and he said be had no doubt that when the jury had heard their evidence they would coma to the conclusion that the defendant ought not to be convicted upon this indictment. It being stated in answer to a question put by the court that it would be impossible to bring the inquiry to a close that night unless the court sat to a very late hour, it was --.ed that the trial should bet adjourned to this CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO URT.

Harriet Anne .Netel;;;l,aiotingwoMOn, surrendered to take her trial upon a charge of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury on the trial of an indictment against a person named Day, in this court in May last. The circumstances Of this ease were of rather a singular character. The prosecutor—a young man named Day— was tried in this court in May last upon a charge of con spiring to procure the debauchment of the present defend ant, and also for attempting himself to commit a felonious assault upon her ; and it will be remembered that the story told by the defendant in support of the charge was of a very extraordinary character. She represented that she received a letter from a young man named Roberts, who was at the time her sweetheart, on the 31st of March, ap pointing to meet her in the evening at Stepney, and, upon her going to the place, she sow the prisoner, who forced her into a cab and drove her about, and at length took her to a large house, where something was given her to drink which had the effect of stupifying her, and she was then assailed by three gentlemen, who sought to obtain possession of her person ; but she stated that she got a knife, and by means of that weapon she eventually succeeded in fighting her way out of the house. The prosecutor Day was taken into custody a day or two afterwards, and the defendant swore positively that he was the man who had acted in the way described, and after several examinations before the magistrate the prosecutor was committed to this court, and after a long trial, in which witnesses were exa mined on both sides, the jury found the prosecutor guilty, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Atter his conviction it appeared that representations were made to the Secretary of State in reference to the case, the result of which was that Day received a pardon, and he then preferred the present charge against the defendant, who, it appeared, bad, since the transaction, got married to Roberts,he sweetheart alluded to. Day, the former defendant, wu now examined as a wit ness, and he stated most positively that he saw nothing of the defendant on the night in question and that the story told by her with regard to his having forced her into a cab and taken her to the house she referred to was false in every respect, so far us he was concerned. This witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Iforry, but his evidence was not shaken in any material respect. Several other witnesses were called, who proved that Day was in their company at different periods during the after noon and evening of the 31st March, and consequently that it was impossible fur him to have been at the place men tioned by the defendant. Elisabeth Woodfield, an old woman, deposed that she had known the defendant from a child, and was also acquainted with her family. On the lith, or between that and the 25th of March, the defendant called upon her and asked bur to write far her the letter that had been produced, and she said it was to be used for the purpose of having a game with Dick Roberts. She also wrote upon an envelope the address of the defendant. She also said the• when she heard of Day being taken into custody upon the original charge, she went to the defendant and told her that if she I persisted in prosecuting an innocent young men she would tell all she knew about the matter, and the defendant then told her that if she " split" she should be a ruined young woman, cud witness replied that if she did not, Day would be a ruined young man. She also told her that she MU anxious to save both of them, but she was determined to save the innocent. Mr. Homy, to tke witness—How do you get your living ? Witness—You know very well. I write letters and pe titions, and I have repeatedly given you briefs and given you 7s. 6.1., Ids., and 13e., with them for poor people. (A laugh.) Ihe Recorder told the witness to answer the questions put to her, end not to be impertinent. Witness—How can I help it, my lord? Mr. lorry al ways received me as a lady when I took him a brief and gave him money. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. lorry—Don't you go by the name of the female lawyer ? Witness—Yes; sad you are known as the cheap barris ter. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Hurry—Do you not get your living by telling far tow? arranged morning. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTERDAY. The December adjourned general session commenced this morning, at Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, assistant judge, Mr. Pownall, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Sir Alexander Spearman, Mr. Turner, Mr. 'Witham, Mr. Wilks, Mr. Howe, and other magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 63 prisoners, of whom 53 were com mitted on charges of felony, and 5 for misdemeanour. The learned Judge in his charge to the grand jury said ho was glad to inform them that he was able to resume his duties, after an attack of illness which had rendered hint unable to meet a grand jury for more than a month, a cir cumstance which had not before occurred to him fur sixteen or seventeen years. Afu r a few remarks upon the nature of their duties the learned serjesnt sent the grand jury to their room. GROSS IMPOSITION. Edward White, :19, was indicted for having stolen 16 bards of woollen cloth, value tl. 13c, the property of Henry Barber. Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prisoner. This case was remanded from the last session. The pro secutor was a tailor in Guswell-street, and the evidence of Ins two sons clearly proved the case against the prisoner. lie was seen to attempt to carry off the cloth, and when he found he was discovered he threw it at the head of one of the witnesses. His identity was proved beyond ques tion, and the learned counsel said he could make no answer to the case. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. It was proved that he was an old offender, and he was sentenced to ►e transported for seven years. Mr. O'Brien said there were some women in court who wished to make some communication to the bench. There were a number of persons about that court who were in the habit of getting money from poor persons, the friends of prisoners, under the preteace of procuring legal assist ance for them, and the women he alluded to had something to say upon the subject. The learned Judge directed the women to be brought for ward, when One of them said she had paid 1/. 3s. 6d. to a person named Flanagan, who was clerk to Mr. Hurry, barrister, for the defence of White, but she had been obliged to raise a similar sum to employ Mr. O'Brien, because he had not engaged Mr. Ilorry. The individual referred to—one Henry Martin Flanagan— here stood up, and said he was ready to answer anything the woman had to say against him. The Judge—Well. you have heard her complaint, what have you to say to it ? Flanagan—May 1 ask her a question, your lordship. The Judge—Certainly. What is it you wish to ask Flanagan to the woman Now, you say you paid me twenty-three and sixpence. Where did you pay it and when ? The woman—l paid it last Wednesday at the public. house over the way, the Lamb and Flag. It was iu the afternoon. Flanagan—My lord, last Wednesday. I can prove it by Mr. Hurry and fifty others, I was at the Southwark Folic, court from 10 in the morning until hil at night. I never saw the woman before in my life, and I declare to God I never received a penny from her. I am nut new Mr. Horry's clerk, and I never told her I was. The Judge—Now be careful, sir. lam told that at the last session Mr. !lorry applied to have this case poitponed. This is one of those infamous cases in which the friends and relatives of poor unfortunate prisoners are plundered by persons who prowl about the court, professing themselves lawyers, but they, every one of them shall see pretty quickly the inside of the county prisons, if I can only get a clear case brought home to them. Flanagan-1 am here to defend myself, and I'll swear I never had a penny from this woman. 1 never saw her before. The woman then repeated her statement, bat was inter rupted at every sentence by Flanagan, who contradicted every word she uttered. She then called two witnesses. One of them swore that she saw the money paid to Flanagan at the Lamb and Flag; and that half a pint of gin WIL , paid for by the woman at Flanagan's request. The other witness More that she saw Flanagan and the woman at the House of Detention, and heard him ask for 2/. 10s., and tell her ' that the money must be paid to him, and to him alone. The complainant had made a mistake as to the day. It was last Wednesday week, when the court was sitting at Clerkenwell, and not last Wednesday. The Judge—Now, sir, what do you say to this? Flanagan then said, that last Monday week he was told by Fisher, an officer of the 0 division, that he could have the ease, when he replied, that if he did, it would be 2/. 4s. Gd. That would be a guinea for Mr. Harry, a guinea fur Mr. Iladwin ' whom he did business fur, and half a crown to the clerk. He had nothing to do with it. The Judge—Who's Mr. Hadwin ? Flanagan—He's an attorney that I ant with. The Judge—Then, you go about getting money as an attorney's clerk. I will have Mr. Hadwia sent for, and let this man be taken into custody. Flanagan was then removed to the cells, and a messenger sent to hod Mr. Miliaria ' at an address given by Flanagan, No. 4, Clifford's-inn; but the officer returned, and said there was no such person to be found there. Subsequently Flanagan was brought into court. The learned Judge told him that, bi fore many hours passed, he would in all probability find himself charged with obtaining money under false pretences. Nu such per son as Mr. Iladwin, to whom he represented he was clerk, had been found at the address he had given to the officer. Who and where was that person ? Flanagan—l never said I was clerk to liadwin. The Judge—You did say so, or what was equal to it, and if you were not, huw comes it that you asked for a guinea for him as well as for one fur counsel ? Flanagan for some time could not recollect lladwin's ad dress. He said he had made a mistake in giving the former one—it was No. 4, Lyon's-inn. The learned Judge then directed that Flanagan should remain in custody until to-morrow (this day), and that an officer should inform Mr. iladwin that his attendance was required in a matter in which his character was concerned. Fisher, of the G division, denied most po,itively that he ever had any communication with Flanagaa about the case . THE POLICE COURTS. _ _I3OW-STREET. A young man, of fashionable appearance, who gave the name of Kelly, and described as a clerk in a government office, was charged with assaulting GS Fin the execution of his duty. The constable stated, that about 3 o'clock in the morning he was or. his beat in Somerset-place, Somerset-house, and seeing a female standing, he inquired what business she had there, knowing she did not belong to the building. She replied, "Do you know who you arc talking to ?" He replied, " To you, miss ;" upon which she said, " You are greatly deceived in me." He then said, "I am not, and require to know what your business is here," when she made seine remark, and running up to the prisoner, who was standing at a door, informed him that she had been grossly insulted by witness. The prisoner asked what had been said to her, adding, "she is with me." Wham told him he was not aware of the circumstance, and the reply was, " You fool, you had no business to ask her any questions," and witness said he had done so, knowing she did nut belong to the buillings, and that when he saw such r. person standing about the place, he was bound to inquire the business. In some altercation which ensued, the pri soner struck hint • violent blow in the mouth, which knocked him down. his head having struck against one of the pillars, upon winch a struggle took place, and when the prisoner was pulled from him, he took him into custody. The prisoner was not sober. Mr. Hall said he could not discover any Impropriety in the conduct of the constable, who was placed them for a specific purpose, and it was not to be wondered at that, seeing a female standing in the court-yard at such sa hour, he should satisfy himself it was not an inmate, which he was unable to ascertain without questioning her upon the subject of business, and if she subsequently had such in fluence on t h e prisoner as to cause him to forget himself, when, holding a public employment, he should render assistance if requisite, he should take the consequence of his rashness. The prisoner said had he been perfectly sober he would bare promptly afforded assistance to any officer in the exe cution of his duty, and expressed his regret that, in a mo ment of excitement, he had acted in the manner described. Mr. Hall said had he thought otherwise he would have sent him to prison, without the option of paying a penalty; but the charge was of a serious character, and to mark his sense of such impropriety, the prisoner should pay a fin* of W. The fine being paid, he wee discharged. MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Dtc. 15. The sales to-clay are—Sugar : 400 lilids. Trinidad, 200 bad.. Demerara, 291.

Of this sum, 21,6631. is due to shareholders for ad vances made by them beyond the amount of their calls, leaving 4M,2,/. due to third parties. This sum, say the official managers, should have been, according to the arrangements made with the creditors, paid in August, 18.50, the latest extension of credit conceded by the large banking companies and more indulgent creditors, hut another cull of 1-IL per share, calculated to produce 35,0001., was now necessary to meet outstanding engagements ; and this, with 13,3591. from realisation of assets during the next 12 months, would give 48,3591., sufficient to pay eff liabili- I ties to third parties. The total assets of the company were Ito be valued at 49,3011., of which 32,0001. consist of securi tics over colliery property now in a depressed state. The official managers, in concluding their report, state that the total amount received from the 301. call up to the 30th Sept. last was 239,952/. ; and from the 20/. cull, 100,350/. The original nominal capital of the hank was 2,000,0001., but the capital absolutely paid up only 350,0001. ANOTHER DESPERATE AFFRAY WITR POAPRERS. --NornSuRAM, MONDAY:A terrible encounter took place this morning, about one o'clock, between the game keepers of 3lajor-General Sir Arthur Clifton, of Barton Lodge, six miles from this town, and a large party of poachers (numbering it is supposed at least 40). The keepers were completely overpowered, the poachers leaving them in a dreadfully mutilated state. The poachers beat at hasty retreat, no doubt thinking that the noise of tke affray might alarm the villagers. Several of them were, however, so disabled, that they were obliged to be carried out of the field. Early this morning two messengers arrived on horseback from Barton Lodge, at the county police station here, to give information, since which every outlet near the affray has beeu guarded, but none of the poachers have yet been captured. TILE LYONS AND AVIGNON RAILWAY.—The COCO milee acting fur the claimants upon the Lyons and Avignon and Bortlec us and Cette caution moneys (the ancient com panies) are organising measures for the protection of their interests as affected by the competition for a new concession of the Lyons and Avignon Railway, just announced in ac cordance with the last act of the late Legislative Assembly of France. A public meeting is to be held at the London Tavern to-marrow in furtherance of the objects in view. GAROTTE ROBBERIES AT LEEDS.—Many of these robberies have been committed in Leeds, Manchester, and other towns, but as yet very few offenders have been caught. It has been remarked by the Leeds police, that when these robberies have occurred at Leeds, they have ceased at Manchester; and when they have been discon tinued at the latter place they have been resumed iu the former. This fact would lead us to suppose that these rob beries are committed by one set of itinerant thieves who travel about from place to place. A renewal of these rob beries has just taken place in Leeds, and this time the police have pounced upon three men, whom it is hoped will turn out to be a part of the gang who have done so much mischief. Last Frid night, about II o'clock, Mr. James Mann, a beerbouse keeper, was attacked by three men, one of whom suddenly seized him by the neck, which he squeezed so severely as to cause a flow of blood from his mouth, and for a moment to render him insensible. Mr. Mann was then thrown upon the ground, and robbed of 3s. or 4s. in silver. Millgarth street is nearly in the centre of the town, and is u very public street, along which the police almost constantly pe rambulate. As soon as Mr. Mann could speak, he called out " Murder," and police officer Kay came to his as sistance just as the three men were running away. In the course of Saturday, three men were ap prehended on suspicion of having committed this robbery. They gave their names as John Hill, George Williams, and John Cherry New, but these names are supposed to be fictitious. Kay, the police officer, states that he saw the three prisoners near the place where Mr. Mann was robbed only a few minutes before he was attacked, and he believes they are the same as he saw running away. Mr. Mann says he believes the prisoner Williams is one of the three men who attacked him, and the trow,.ers of Hill when he was taken were found to he torn on one knee, and dirty, as if done in a struggle on the ground. They were yesterday examined by the Leeds justices, and after a full investiga tion, they were all committed fur trial at the present York shire amazes.
