IRELAND. • - N,,'..'. Dr. Merle D'Aubigne, the historian ot the Retor station, mired in Dublin on Saturday night, ttnd will address an assembly to-morrow evening, in the Beata Church, Capri-street, ou the subject of religious affairs on the continent, in connexion with the Evangelical Alliance. The Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, with the Solieitor.Gcnersl and several eminent Ite;,aan catholic members of the bar, and others, lirtended yesterday at a meeting, presided over by the High Sheriff of Dublin, held far the per t iose of promoting the erection of a grand Gothic church, which has been commenced in this city be the Friars of the Dominican order. It would b e had to say . what Special interest the lawyers should take in the matter, unless it be because the prevent courts of law happen to occupy the site of the original Dominican church on the Inn's-quay. Mr. Dorgan has intimated a request that the Royal Dublin Society would acquiesce in his desire of not commencing the removal of the main portion of the Exhibition Building from the lawn before the beginning of March next. In the interval Mr. Dor gan proposes that the building, stripped of its con tents, shall be opened to the public—in the day time only--for such purposes, under such regulations, and at such a charge fur admission, as shall be mutually agreed upon between the council of the society and Mr. Dorgan and that the proceeds arising from the admission ot the public shall, subject to the pay ment of expenses, be at the disposal of the society, as a fund for the embellishment of the lawn, after it shall have been cleared of the building, and re stored by Mr. Dorgan to its original state, as far as circumstances will permit. The council approve of the proposition. MUSIC HARMONIC UNION. This society commenced its second season last triss;sg st Exeter ball, by a Federman** of the Messiah. The Ileraioaic Union was formed last year, with a wider scope than the other great choral societies which here their perfurwitaore u Easter ball, its object being to 'alma scalar as well as sacred issasie. is a prospectus of the arrangements, it is announced that several great works of both glasses, seem of them new, will be produced in the course of the seam. Among the oratorios promised are Haydn's Cron:ion, Mendelsenbn's Elijah, and a new Ger man oratorio, called (Arid tilie Messenge► o/ Nan, composed by M. Emil Naumann, pupil of Mendels aoho, and chapsl•master to the King of Nissan— s young composer, Si yet unknown is England, but already highly distinguished is Germany. Among the secular cur Wes are Mendelssiohn's Walreirgis Night, Beethoven's Raves of Athens, Handers Alexander's Feast, Aeis and Galatea, and Macfsrren's Lenora. All these pieces are more or less known to the public ; but the production of Acts and Galatea will be rendered remarkable by the cir mullion that it will be given with Mozart's additional anompaniments ; the only cony of them extant, h►ving bean discovered by Mr. Benedict dining his recent visit to Germany. This is a discovery which must be of immense interest to the whole musical world. Mr. Benedict con tinues to be the conductor, and Mr. W. Rea, a young musi cian of ability, is the organist. At the performance of the Messiah last evening, the instrumental band and chorus consisted of five hundred per. formers, a numerical strength amply sufficient (and more than sufficient) for every purpose. We have often expressed our opinion that the enormous "multitudes crowded tato the orchestras of the two ucred Harmonic 3ucieties-700 in the one nod 800 in the other—do harm instead of good. The announcement of such numbers is a mere ed captanduni device to astonish the public by giving an idea of stupen dous power. But such unwieldy masses are oaly produc tive of weakness, and half the numbers would have much more real strength. Last night the choruses in the Messiah were very well sung on the whole ; though there was fre quently a deficiency of firmness and ,iplemb in tahing up the points of imitation and fugue. In place of the tint note of the phrase being struck by every voice at the same in stant, some nix* were often heard coming in after the others, as it the singers, not confident in themselves, were bang the note from their neighbours. This is the ordinary butt of imperfectly trained choristers; and, where they are thus cougregated in hundreds, many of them must be imperfectly trained. But Mr. Benedict is an admirable disciplinarian, and, we doubt not, will succeed in diminish ing the number of his " awkward squad." A great disappointment was caused by the non•sppeam mice of Madame Viardot Garcia, to whom the finest airs in the oratorio were &reigned. Unfortunately she had been attacked (as a medical certificate stated) by a severe cough and huntress, w►ich rendered her quite incapable of sing ing Miss Birch and Miss Lucille' consented, at a very short notice, to sing the music which bad been allotted to Madame Viardot. The tenor part was sung by Mr. Ben ace, and the bus by Mr. Weise. They acquitted them selves respectably, and Mr. Weise more than respectably. He sang the two great airs, " The people that walked is darkness," and " Why do the nations," with a quality and power of voice, an energy, and a purity of style which we have very seldom heard excelled. Mr. Weiss is certainly at the head of our English bass. The hill was full, and the audience were loud and not very discriminating in their apples's. We very much prefer the silent attention with which it is now customary to listen to the Messiah. AND CLERICAL.

'1 he plaintiff in this case, Mfil , v:ds Foulkes, said that she was a lady " who bad a few gentlemen friends, " and' she formerly lived at 38, Foley-place, a house kept by her friend Mn. - Marshall, Who also received visits from gentle men. The action was brought to recover damages for as ' malt and false imprisonment, and the defendant pleaded not guilty, and that the plaintiff first assaulted him, and he had only acted in self-defence. Mr. Won't,. ar.4 Me, 7,•, , . , 11ett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins for the defendant. The plaintiff's ease was, that about one o'clock " in the evening ' of the 22nd of April last, she, with Mrs. Marshall, and a 'Mr. Dill, who lived in the lame house with them, was returning from the Adelphi Theatre. In Marylebone they met Mr. Bartlett, en undertaker, and they went with him to the Devonshire Aims, Duke-street, to have some thing to drink. Whilst there the defendant w. nt from the club-room to the bar, and asked the ladies to have some thing to drink. At first they declined, but afterwards assented; and when leaving be tried to induce Mrs.j Marshall to go with him, which she refused to do. Shortly afterwards the ladies left, and with Mr. Dill went home to Foley-place. Mrs. Marshall remained at the doo: talking fur a few minutes, and whilst there the defendant and a policeman come up, and she was seized by the throat, and accused of having stolen the defendant's pocket-book. She screamed, and !Liu Foulkes, who was in the act of pre ' paring for bed, ran down stairs, but when near the bottom the defendant seized her, and threw her down in tie pee -1 sage and kicked her on the hip. The policeman sprang his I rattle, and two other constables came up, and the ladies and Mr. Dill were taken to the mafiosi-house. There the first mentioned policemen said he had seen the plaintiff take the defendant's pocket-book, and the inspector, seeing that the defendant and also the policeman were drunk, locked the whole of them up. The inspector a ft erwards made inqui• ries, and found that the defendant had left his pocket•boek in the club-room, sad the magistrate after investigating the case discharged the whole of them. No witnesses) were called for the defendant, but Mr. Serjeant Wilkins addressed the jury on his behalf, sad stigmatised the action as one brought for coats only, and be complained that the time of one of the superior count should be taken up with so paltry an affair. The jury retired, and after having been locked up for six hours, it was intimated that there was no chance of their servile', one of their number being of a contrary opinion to the other eleven. They were therefore left in the cus tody of the officer, his lordship having given no directions as to their discharge. of , he clause, "and the creditors assignee," evidently cot, templated a choice under the first petition. His Honour said the words " if Irty " clearly contem plsted a ebitice not being made. It wes obviously the most proper course to ►djourn the choice until the choice under the other peti•ion, leaving the estate, to the meantime, in the bands of the official assignee. The choice was accordingly adjourned for a fortnight. IN ILL FISRRA.—PAILURE OP A COLONIAL BROKER. This was the santing for choice of assignees in the can of Augustus Fisher, colonial broker, of Mincing-Line, who had traded under the firm of Foakes and Fisher. The liabilities arc estimated at about 10,0001. ; nearly 8,000/ was proved at this meeting. The amount of assets is at Present uncertain. Mr. Henry Croysdell, accountant, of Baainghall•street, was chosen trade assignee ; Mr. Fennell is the official assignee ; and Meson. Lawrence, Plows, and Bayer an the solicitors under the bankruptcy. DiSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAT. WM CHM COllllllBlOlllll UM. IN TR MATTER 9r RICRAIip JOHN mem This insolvent, who figured u " Captain ilk's" at the Middlesex Sessions a short time ago, was appointed to be heard to-day under the Protection Act. Mr. Sargood appeared to oppose on the part of Mr. Clement*, a school• master, Mrs. Jacobs, umbrella maker, and Mr. Stapleton, a wine merchant. • The insolvent was not in attendance, and his attorney (Mr. Lewis) applied for an adjournment with proteetioc, on the ground that he was in Ireland attending • chancery suit to remove tim from the guardianship of his children. An affidavit was handed to the court in support of the application. Mr. Farina opposed an extension of the protection. The Chief Commissioner expressed his intention to hear the case, notwithstanding the insolvent did not appear, in order to satisfy himself whether it was a case for an ex tended protection. Evidence was Risen by the opposing creditors. The in solvent by kis schedule had been captain in a yeothanry corps and agent to some paper merchants in Ireland. His debts were to some extent. Mr. Clements, it appeared, had a visit from the insolvent about taking his three sons. He represented himself as a person of property, and one Satur day night, while he was from home, the sons were left at his house. He required reference* and kept the children about six months. They were demanded sad prociediage were taken at a police court. A espies was eased to arrest him, but he made his escape. He was after ' wards arrested at Cheltenham, apdgave • bail bend. The action went on, and the costs were 761., the debt being 441. Subsequently 801. had been obtained from one of the hail. The insolvent subsequently figured at the Middlesex Ses sion, and three officers were there to arrest him on his an quittal, but he made his escape through the window of the robing room. He filed his petition in this court, on which he got a protection, and was now in Ireland. A shape's to Mrs. Jacobs, from whom the insolvent got a Malacca cane at 305., and 31. 101. on a cheque in Ireland for 61. and Mr. Stapleton, a wine merchant, who had cashed similar cheque*, were examined. These complaints have already appened in our paper. The insolvent was acquitted at the sessions. The Chief Commissioner said be had heard the evidence to satisfy his mind whether it was a ease for further pro tection. He was of opinion that the insolvent was not en titled to an extended protection. Without taking the idence so as to preclude the insolvent from giving answer if he could, he might prove, if he thought proper, that he was not a common cheat. _ _ It was recorded that the Insolvent did not appear, and his protection wu sot renewed. swots NIL CONDIISSIOVUt PIOILUPS. THE MATTER OF EDWARD Erma. This insolvent, who applied under the ProUstion Act, was opposed by Mr. Dowse for two creditors. Mr. Cooke supported. The insolvent attributed his appearance to the repeal of the navigation laws. Be said that as a lighterman he did as much work with one bergs, es he lied done in the present year with six or seven barges. The law was re pealed on the lit of January, 1850, and goods came in large quantities by the American liners, and be had to clear them from the quays by which he was obliged to hire more barges and was out of pocket. Before the repeal he worked with one barge. The cue was heard, and it appeared that the insolvent had omitted in his proceedings the receipt ef some money. Mr. Commissioner Phillips on account of the omission, diemiexd the petition. CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO URT. OLD COURT.—YEeTERDAY. James Po.cersurreaFeteTtc;taTe his trial for embezzle ment. The prosecutor in this case was Mr. DavikWilkinaon, a builder at Wandsworth, and it appeared that the prisoner was employed by him as foreman at some works he was performing at the Nine Elms Station for the South Western Railway Company, and it was his duty to keep an account of the work performed by the men, and to receive from the prosecutor every week the amount necessary to pay them their wages. It was alleged on the part of the prosecutor that the prisoner had claimed more money for one of the workmen than he was really entitled to, and it appeared that, although he bad, in point of fact, paid tho whole amount to the man in the first instance, yet he afterwards represented that he had made a mistake, and so obtained pcssession of the surplus hack from him. This was stated to have taken place in three instances, the sums that were thus alleged to have been improperly obtained by the pri soner being respectively 35., 7e., and 9s. 3d. For the defence, Mr. Parry urged that the transaction with regard to the amount of the wages was a perfectly honest one, and that the money had been paid bona fide to the workman for his labour, and witnesses were called to prove that the prisoner was in the habit of advancing money to the men for beer during the week, and that the money he had received was only the repayment of such advances. -- The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. C l / 4 arles Clark, 22, pleaded guilty to a charge of steal inga watch, the property of Robert Parrett. The robbery was committed upon the occasion of the execution of the unfiatiance man Mobbs, on Monday last. The Recorder inquired if the prisoner was known, and the constable who talk him into custody said that he was not. It appeared, however, that he gave a false address when he was apprehended. The Recorder said he was surprised I. hear that the prisoner was not known to the police, as from the fact of his being guilty of such a crime upon so dreadful an occa sion, and under the very gallows where a fellow creature was about to suffer the lest penalty of the law, induced him to suppose that he must have been • hardened offender, I I and that he had long been in a career of Crime. If that had been proved, the sentence would certainly have been a very severe one, and although he did not anticipate that any punishment would be likely to operate with good effect upon a person who could be guilty of such an act as that to which he had pleaded guilty, he should deal with the ease as with the ordinary one of a first conviction, and should sentence him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. The November adjourned session of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning, at the Ses sions-house, Clerkenwell-green. Mr. Serjeaat Adams presided. The calendar was unuxually light, there being but 39 prisoners for trial, 36 being indicted for felony and 3 for misdemeanour. Charles Williams, 19, was indicted fur stealing a purse containing as. and other monies, and a bunch of keys, the property and monies of John Boustead, from the person of Augusta Bousteact. Dlr. Ballantine prosecuted; Mr. O'Brien appeued for the prisoner. The prosecutris and her husband were at the Bishopagate station of the Eastern Counties Railway on the afternoon of the sth of November, for the purpose of going to Lea bridge by the 5.20 train. The prosecistria was about getting into a first-class carriage, whilst her husband was gone to see about the luggage. As she was about getting into the carriage, she was somewhat impeded in doing so by a man and woman who were close before her. Boon afterwards she disepvered that her pocket was picked, which she commu nicated to her husband, who, having suspicion of the pri soner, seised hold of him by the collar until a porter of the company came up and took charge of him. He was imme diately afterwards observed to throw away the purse at their feet, which was picked up and the prisoner was given into custody. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Ballantine wished to mention that since the prisoner had been committed every means had been used by the prisoner's friends to defeat the ends of the prosecution, and overtures had been made by them to the pester to induce him to withhold his evidence and defeat justice. A City police.constable said he had had the prisoner in custody for attempting to pick a lady's pocket in Orace church.street, when he was sent to prison for two months. He was the associate of thieves. lie had also been Da cus ' tody for robbery at the London-bridge stations. The officer of Coldhath-fields said he believed this man was also known in that prison. The Assistant Judge then remanded the prisoner until neat session. James Toomey, 26, was indicted for 'dealing a saw and other tools, value 2/., the property of Benjamin Holt, and other tools the property of Thomas Wenham. He was also indicted for unlawfully assaulting James AbrahamP, a constable of the metropolitan police force, with intent to resist and prevent his lawful apprehension on a charge of felony. The charge of felony was fully made out, as was a most unmanly and brutal assault upon the police-constable who took him into custody. The jury fount( the prisoner Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to hard labour (or 18 months. hold of her wrist, and said, " This won't du I r me. You have robbed me of my money : " She handed me back 4s. fed. or 54., and said, " Here, is this yours?" I said that was not all, and on the way to the station-house she offered sue Is. 71.1., and said she would give me the rest if I would oscr the water with her. I did not see her pa-s en) - :hing to the man. At the station-house I found I was 4s. Ild. short in my mosey. The male prisoner was discharged; the female was com mitted for trial. Antoin Tomanne, a German, wee brought up for final examination, charged with having robbed Lit employer. Ferdinand B. Brown, Church•row, Houndeditch, watch maker, said-1 keep two bedrooms in the house, in one of which I sleep. On Friday night I left off work at nine o'clock. I took up the watches Into my sleeping room, locked the door, and brought down the key. The prisoner was to call upon me at the house of a friend, to fetch me home, at II o'clock, and I waited for him till half-past 11, but he did not come. Upon my return I found that the b in which I had locked the 'ir.lti;uee had been broken open, and that Several watches had been stolen. I gave I notice to the police, and, having suspected that he would try to be • passenger on board a steamer which was ex pected to anl immediately for Hamburgh, I went on board and found him going to bed. I asked him for my watches, l and he took twelve of them out of his pocket and gave them to me. The waterman fetched the policemen, and I gave the prisoner into custody. He told me he had given two watches to a person to enable him to leave England. The policeman said he was called at 2 o'clock on Saturday morning to go to Irongate wharf, where he took the pri soner into custody, and took from him some watch hands land tools. The prisaner also gave up two watch guards and some uther jewellery to the prosecutor. ' The prisoner said he did not break open anything, and he intended is return the watches to his employer. He also said that the two persons who had had the watches from him were aware of the robbery. George Usher, a man occasionally employed at the Black w t .Railway works, was committed for trial upon the charge of having obtained money under false pretences. It appeared that a workman, also employed by Mews. Rigby, the contractors, was token seriously ill, and con veyed to the hospital, and the prisoner went to the fore man end said he was authorised by the wife of the patient to receive the money due to him amounting to 11. 142.4 d., which upon receiving he squandered in drink. Bassett, the detective officer, who apprehended the prisoner, de scribed the fellow's conduct as desperate in the extreme. Usher upon being told by the officer the charge against him, asked to see the authority under which he was taken, and upon being shown the warrant, ran to the fire-place to get the poker and upon being prevented, called to hie wife to bnog him that weapon, swearing that he would knock out the officer's brains with It. Afterwards the pri soner tried to strangle the officer, and was with difficulty checked in the attempt. The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknowledge the receipt of the half of a bank note for 51. No. 45,085, from W. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. George Amherst, who described himself as a solicitor's clerk, living in William street, Regent'spark, was brought up on suspicion of having been concerned in stealing money and other property, to • large amount, belonging to M. Gianotti, an attachi of the Sardinian Embassy, from the house of Mr. Draper, No. 9, Charlesotreet, Grosvenor square. It appears that on the tad of August the prisoner went to Mr. Draper's and opened a negotiation with him for apartments, on behalf of a gentleman whom ho said was named M'Donald, and who was staying at Torqua he stated that Mr. M'Donald had been recommended by the Earl of Powis. On the Wednesday following he called again, and went up stairs for a glove which he had left behind him. At nine the same evening be came again, bringing with him another person to see the rooms. The servant requested them to come into the hall while she got • l i ght ; and having procured one she showed them into the front drawing room. While she was up 'Mire with the prisoner and his friend she heard some one go across the hall towards the rooms of Mr. Gianetti, a gentleman who had apartments in the house ; but she did not feel any suspicion because she thought M. Gianetti was at home. The prisoner and his friend detained her up stairs a quarter of an hour, after which they went away declaring themselves satisfied, and promising to call and settle about them on the next day. In the interim some one had stolen from M. Gianetti's rooms a cigar case containing a 101. note, and a 51. Dutch note ; a small black truck containing 451. in notes, three gold chains and other articles. A writing-desk was also broken open. The value of the property purloined was about 3001. The prisoner was afterwards met by Mr. Draper in a court in Brewer street, and given into custody. its was remanded till Monday next. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-YunzDAY. COVIETON V.

The plaintiff was en attorney living on the north side of London, and the c;s fendent an omnibus proprietor. On the Bth September last the plaintiff's wife and another lady were on their way to the Brighton Railway when they met the defendant's omnibus, near the Sturt Arms, in the New North-mad, on the wrong side of the road. The omnibus, having reached its destination, was turning round when it came in contact with the plaintiff's vehicle, and knocked in a panel. It had cost six or seven pounds to repair the carriage, but the ia jury had greatly reduced it in value. The defendant's ease was that the plaintiff's man was driving very fast, and that there was sufficient room for him to have kept on hls own side. If he had done so the accident would not have happened, and the horses of the omnibus were walking and quietly turning round when the collision took place. The evidence, as usual in such cases, was of a conflicting ehsracter. _ . .

Manisty for the defendants. This was a writ of error from the Court of ll:chequer. The declaration alleged that the two companies had en. tared int, en agreement for twenty-one years, from the Ist of July, 1851, by which the Great Northern Ctmpany was to have the power of running over and carrying coals on the South Yorkshire hae fee a stipulated sum, which it was alleged had not been paid in accordance with the terms of the deed. The defendants in the court below pleaded by setting out the deed. It appeared that the Great Northern Company was to have the power of carrying coals over the Yorkshire lines on the payment of tolls, fluctuating according to the quantity carried. For instance, if the coals carried did not amount to more than 12.5,000 tons in six months then the Great Northern Company we to pay to the South Yorkshire such toll as, with the clear profits of the latter, would be sufficient to pay the interest on its guaranteed shares and a net divi dend of 31. per cent. on its ordinary capital, and so en until I tons, the amount reached 400,000 to, when for that or a greater quantity the Great Northern was to pay such tolls as would, after payment of outgoings and the dividends on preference stack, insure a dividend of 6 per cent. It was I submitted in the court below that the agreement was illegal, and therefore null and void. Mr. Dims Parke and Mr. Baron Platt gave judgment in favour of the then plaintiffi —the South Yorkshire Company ; end Mr. Baron Martin for the defendants—the Great Northern Company. The Lord Chief Bum did not give judgment, in order that it might be entered for the plaintiffs and brought by a writ of error to this court. Mr. Bramwell, on the part of the plaintiffs in error, now submitted that the agreement was illegal, and therefore void. These:corporations were endowed by parliament with limited powers, and any agreement they entered into beyond the @cope of those powers wee void. They had no authority to affix the common seal of the company to such a document. Parties subscribed to an undertaking for a certain purpose, but they were not to be made by the managers parties to a speculation to which they had not originally' subscribed, and an a matter of public policy such a state of things should not be permitted. Here was a I partnership forced upon the Great Northern shareholders in which the other company had all the advantage, for they were absolutely guaranteed at least 3 per cent. even it they lay quite idle, and did not develop their own traffic. Having cited the cases of the East Anglian and Eastern Compeniet Railways, M'Gregor and the Dover and Deal Railway, the Ambergate Railway case (Simpson v. Den nison), and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham v. the London and North Western, and the Shropshire Union Companies, the learned counsel submitted that this con tract was ultra vine, and opposed to the 87th section of the act 8 Vie., c. 20, and was therefore void. Sir Fitzroy Kelly supported the judgment of the court below, without disputing the legality of the decisions in the cases cited, they did not in his opinion at all apply to this. He admitted that no contract which violated an act of parliament could be enforced in a court of law, but con tended that on • careful consideration of the contract in this cam, it would be found to be reasonable, fair, and just, and hadjmn deliberately entered into, not by way of spe culation asto the future, but after experience of the past, for the benefit of the two companies and the public. By means of this agreement large profits had already accrued to the Great Northern Company, by enabling them to com pete with the whole body of coal merchants in the metro polis ; but they now desired to set it aside, in the hope of being able to fall back on an earlier one, containing terms somewhat more advantageous to themselves. He submitted that the terms were perfectly fair, and not opposed to the policy of the law. The whole question for their lordships consideration was, whether it was a fatal objection to a con trast that the remuneration was not to be a fixed, hut • fluctuating sum, depending on contingencies which the parties had taken into consideration. lie submitted the contract was perfectly valid, and that the judgment of the court below should be affirmed. The learned gentleman having concluded, The court adjourned to this day. COURT OF BANKRUFICY.—YESTEILDAY. IIErARATE lIATE.—QUESTION UNDER THE 98TH BEL] lON. This was the first sitting for proof of debts and choice of assignees, in the case of Hugh Williams, jun., describes as • tailor and commission agent, of West Smithfield, trading in partnership with Hugh Williams, men., and J. Williams. Mr. Shard stated that since the adjudication in this case, ea adjudication had been taken out against the other two partnen in the hem, but they had not yet surrendered, and no day had been appointid for the choice of assignees. He therefore proposed to proceed to th e c h o i ce o f assignees under this bankruptcy, and then, when the other ease cam, before the court, to ask for an order under the beth section, for anneriog the proceedings to those already taken. His Honour referred to the With section, which provides, "That after • fiat issued, or a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy filed, against or by one or more member or members of a firm, any petition or petitions for adjudi cation of bankruptcy against or by any other member or members of such firm, shall be filed and prosecuted in the court in which the first fiat or petition was prosecuted; and immediately after the adjudication under such other peti tion or petitions, all the estate real and personal of such bankrupt or bankrupts shall vest in the official awigeee, sad the creditors' ansignee (if any) ander the first fiat or petition ; and thereafter all the separate proceedings under such petition or petitions shall be stayed, and such petition or petitions shall, without afficting the validity of the firer flat or petition, be annexed to and form part of the same." This being in he thought the best come would be to ad journ the choice of assignees until the other partite came before the court, and then all the creditors, joint as well as I Could cone in sad prove. V:award rensisdnd big Honour that the joint creditors had the right to prove ander this petition. In het, all the cseditors 'be had proved were joint creditors. The words THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION HOUSE. DarabelA thoiltes and Jatta: Gresleant were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged under the following Cir cumstances. James Ellis, engineer, said—At a quarter put 12 on Saturday night, I was coming up Cornhill, and the pri- Bonen were standing together at • lamp -post, disputing about the way to the Monument, and the man asked me to direct them there, which I did. The woma n s t e pp e d on one aide, and said to nee, " Show me the way, old son, won't you 1" and shoved her hand into my trousers. I immediately aimed about ten shillings in silver. I caught DIARYLEi3ONE. J. Lemon alias Smith, Sarah Lenten, hie wife, and Wm. Johnson alias Drew, were charged with having been con cerned in the making of counterfeit coin, and circulating the same to a considerable extent. Inspector Brenner stated that after apprehending Lemon and Johnson on Saturday night he went to the residence of the former, No. 1, Hargrave-place, Camden-town. His wife opened the door, and on learning that the officers had come to search for coining implements, she replied " I am sorry to say that you will find some." She then took the inspector to the first-floor back room, where he discovered some plaster of Paris moulds for half-crowns, florins, and shillings, besides a number of the counterfeit nieces. He also found four galvanic batteries and other appliances. The prisoners were remanded. WESTMINSTER. Lord Marcus Hill appeared to answer &summons charg ing him with neglecting to pay a cabman's demand. William Davis, the cabman, stated that he was on the rank in Sloane square at a little before one o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday week, when a servant called him and ordered him to Eaton-chapel, at the corner of Coleshill. street, Pimlico. The servant having got on the box,. com plainant drove there, and four ladies got into his cab, the youngest of whom was above twelve years of age. The servant, who again mounted the box, then ordered him to drive to 2, Chesham-street, where he put the ladies down. Another young man, who also, appeared to be a servant, then offered him a shilling as his fare, and on his stating that it was not sufficient, his fare was two shillings, the young man informed him that his lordship would not give more. Complainant said that it could be seen by the placard be had on the inside of the door of his cab the fares he might charge for carrying extra persons. He would, however, take the shilling in part pay. ment, but he should put another to it and gammon his lord ship, whose name was given him by the servant. Mr. Arnold inquired how he made his claim out ? Complainant replied there was 6d. for the distance driven, and three distinct sixpences for the number above two carried, which made 2.1. Mr. Arnold, addressing his lordship, inquired whether as he was not the party who had hired he objected to the summons ? . . _ His lordship replied certainly not, but begged to offer a few words in explanation of the matter. He fully admitted hie liability, but he was actuated in his refusal to comply with the cabman's demand by the circumstance that the very same party had been conveyed the same distance at 11 in the morning, to Divine service, and the cabman who then drove them had only demanded a shilling. Upon their re turn home he inquired what bad been paid for their con veyence there, and, being informed, directed a like amount to be given to the defendant, as he could not see why he should pay him double the amount for exactly the same number, and exactly the same distance. Mr. Arnold said there was no doubt that the law was in favour of the cabman. _ . _ . His lordship observed that he bad not the least fault to find with the driver's behaviour, and he should he most happy to pay him any amount to which he was entitled. Mr. Arnold adjudged his lordship to pay the shilling claimed, and ss. costs. His lordship retired, observing, with a smile, be certainly is not so reasonable as the other man. SOUTHWARK. James Lsfelong, a co loured man, was brought before Mr. A'Bcckett, charged with stealing a coat from the shop of Mr. Alfred James, a tailor in the Bermondsey New-road. . . . . . A young girl in the service of the prosecutor said that a little before eight o'clock on Saturday evening she was in a room at the rear of her master's shop, when she saw the prisoner rua and seise a coat from the window, and de camp with it. She rushed oat, calling "atop thief," and after a smart chase he was secured. There was another man came up to the prisoner as he was running away, and he had en opporutnity of passing the coat to him without her perceiving it. One of the railway porters employed at the South Eastern Railway said he saw the prisoner running down Hill-street, Bermondsey New-road, followed by the last witness, who was calling out "stop thief," and he immediately laid hold of him, when he exclaimed "for God's sake let me go." Witness, however, retained hold of him until a constable came up, when he gave him into custody. The prosecutor said the cost was safe in his shop window a few minutes previous to eight o'clock ; and no other per son had entered the shop but the prisoner. Mr. Alieckett asked whether the coat had been found ? Prosecutor replied that it had not, but hie servant dis tinctly saw the prisoner steal it. In defence, the prisoner said he knew nothing about the coat. Mr. A'Beckett committed him for trial. HAMMERSMITH. Mr. George flied leutliade, the well• known proprietor of the Colonnade Hotel, adjoining her Majesty's Theatre, was summoned at the instance of Mr. Walpole, on behalf of the London Gas Light Company, to answer ilia informations, charging him with having unlawfully used and consumed gas at Rose-cottage, North•end, Fulham, belonging to the abovenamed company. Mr. ?detain, who appeared on behalf of the charge, said that the defendant had several years ago established a laundry at Rose-cottage, in North-end. In 1835 he entered into a contract with the company for the use of five burners nt the laundry, and afterwards another burner was added. Since then, however, the officers of the company had re ceived information that a seventh burner had been in use for some time. Mr. Humphrey, who appeared on behalf of the defendant, intimated that some conversation had passed between the parties on both sides, and he would therelore suggest the propriety of the summonses being adjourned, to enable them, if possible, to come to a satisfactory settlement. Mr. Beadon thought it would he advisable to adjourn the summons, for it was not probable that the defendant, who held a high position in society, would so far forget himself as to give his consent to the use of the burner in the manner described. Mr. Humphrey was utislied, if the cue was gone on with, that no coaviction would take place. Mr. Besdoa then adjourned the further hearing of the ennunons until this day week. 71iL LLLII .

REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. (From the blark.'fme Arprest.) The advices from the Baltic are not of so lively a character this week as of late, the more subdued tone of the English and French markets having had considerable effect. Our Danzig letters are of ale 23rd inst., the transactions in wheat had been comparatively trifling during the pre ceding week, but there had been no disposition to accept lower terms for good qualities. There was a vette' loaning for Dunkirk, capable of carrying 1,400 quarters; the freight paid bad been Gs. per qt. ; two or three small craft were besides, taking in wheat for Holland, one for Perth, and one for Hull. The quality of the new wheat coutinues to be complained of ; a parcel of 400 qrs., weighing eel) , -18Ite. per bushel, had been sold at 61s. ; and for 200 qrs. of old mixed, 61Ibs. weight, 665. per qr. had been mace; whilst 695. 61. per qr. free on board, bad been paid a few days before, for superior qualities. It had been found necessary to kiln-dry the new wheat, and mix it with avid , before venturing to ship it ; of these mixed lots some p , reele had been taken, principally for Holland. At Stettin, on Tuesday, there was not much doing in wheat, but holders were not inclined to press sales ; the lowest offers had been 6.58. per qr. free on hoard, tor fair new 61 to 61} lbs. red•wheat. Supplies from the growers had come forward sparingly, and as the water in the Oder was very shallow, it was considered more than probable that th e re ceipts rem Silesia would continue small. The little which had been received had proved of but middling quality and light weight, few lets exceeding .59 to 601114. per bushel. Rye had been and continued in lively request, and equal to 50s. per qr. free on hoard had been peel for .sSta 56lbs. quality. Though prices of barley were very high, opinion was in favour of • further rise ; parcels on the spot being offered at 3-se. 9d. to 365. ; whilst for delivery in spring, 30s. 6d. per qr. free on board had been asked. The advice. from the near continental ports do not aotice any particular alteration. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, the wheat trade, though somewhat slow, was firm, and quotation s were near l y tee same as on tha t week ; say for red Upland oa the spot, weighing 691b5., 70s. 6d.. and Mecklenberg, 60ilbs., 71s. 6d. to 71e. 9d. per qr. free on board. Prices of barley had likewise remained nearly the same as before, 531b8. Danish having been held steadily at 355. per p. In the Dutch markets, the tendency of pricts has conti nued upwards; and at Rotterdam on Monday, new whits Zealand wheat was le. to 25.. and hard Russian, 3s. per qr. higher than on that day week. Rye appears to have been in lively request at enhanced terms, the rise during the week having amounted to quite 3s. per qr. The advice* from France state that the disposition to boy wheat had slackened, but it was the prevailing belief that the deficiency in the crop would make itself felt sooner or later, and that prices would then rise to a higher point than ever. At Paris there was tot much doing on Wednesday, either in wheat or flour. The advice. from Marseilles are interesting, and show the buoyancy of the trade there ; an arrival of upwards of 300,000 qrs. of wheat from the Black Sea, in the space of little more than a week, hail caused Polish Odessa to fall momentarily to 535. per qr. ; but so active had been the de mend from the interior, that the same qualities realised 600. per qr. a few days afterwards. The general character of the advice(' from the Mediter ranean is firm, there can i.e no doubt that wheat is exceeds ingly scarce over the south of Europe, and it is certaia that a largo portion of that which the Black Sea may have to spare will be required at different places within the Straits of Gibraltar. From °drum, we learn, under date of the Ilth inst., that very little business has been done there on British account, but considerable purchases had been made tor the Neapo litan government, which had prevented prices receding. About 60,000 qrs. bed changed bands: for soil relish, 395. to 425. 9d. per qr. had been freely paid. We have advice. of recent dates from America, the deli veries from the interior, at the ports on the coast, had not been large, and it was the prevailing opinion that the stocks would at the close of the shipping lesson be reduced into an unusually small complus.
