The Reeorder, in his charge to the grand jury, expressed himself happy to inform them that although a considerable interval had elapsed since the last session, the number of prisoners for trial was smaller than usual, although at the same time, ho said, it must be regretted, that there were a great many serious charges to be disposed of, two of them involving the wilful destruction of human life. It did not appear to him, however, that any of the cases involved difficulties of a legal character, and hr should therefore leave them to be disposed of by the grand jury without any other observation then this, that if the facie should he proved as they appeared in the depositions he considered the grand jury would only bo performs ing their duty `in submitting these cases fur inquiry before the petty jury. The learned Recorder then observed that many of the predecessors of the present grand jury had expressed an opinion that their services were unnecessary iu that capacity, awl that It was an unnecessary waste of their private time Waal enrenbee a grand jury, and with regiird to the peat ielleseiV of the eases jury entirely concurred In thee oplates.

It was no part of their duty, however, to take these matters into con sideration, hut he had reason to believe that the subject would very shortly be taken up elm:where, and that the inconvenience of calling gentlemen from their homes with out any good result, and at the same time depriving the counof the bsne fi t of their services as petty jurors, would remedied for the future.

VW/WM.II and Co., Agents. THIS DAY. Two o'Ci.oex. A good deal of business continues to offer in mining shares in the Stock Exchange, and prices of the gold shares are firmly supported with the excep tion of Agua Prins, which are this morning a shade weaker. This is a tiling day in British Australian. Present quotations arc: Agua Fria, 24- to ; rem.; Australasian, ; to 14 prem.; British Austra lasian, 1-16 dis. to 1-16 prem.; Australian Freehold 1-16 to 3-16 prem.; Colonial Gold, to i , prem. ; Port Philip, 1.16 to 3.16 prem. The past week has been characterised by a large amount of business iu our home mines, and whilst few shares have retrograded, many have considerably advanced in price. The principal business has been in West Providence, Alfred Consols, Marilyn, Garreg, South Tamar, St. Aubyn and Orils, ! and West Caradon. In smaller shares a 'fair l average business has been done. We have again to draw attention to the increasing cheapness of money, and the vast mass of surplus capital for which an eligible investment is being anxiously looked for. The mining share market, both home and foreign, affords evidence of being decidedly affected by , this state of things, and strong anticipations are indulged in of a still greater beneficial influence being exerted. &min NO.

Messrs. Taylor an.l Cellison appeared as solicitors for the claimant, and Mr. Roxburgh, with Mr. W. flalswonhy, for Mr. Turquand, the otlicial manager ; and Mr. Fry, for what are termed the seceding shareholders. From the statement of the cue and the evidence adduced it appeared that Major Stone lent the 3,000/. for the purposes of the company, to make up a eertvin amount to met the requirements of p-r -liament ; but the directors at this time, it was contended, had no power to bind the company by bills of exchange. Subsequently, three of the directors, Sir A. Peregrine, Mr. Monti:Bore, and Mr. Itippon, gave a menaciiandum to Major Stone for the mount. The lirst bill of exchange was given in 1817 by two of the directors, countersigned by the secretary• and with the common seal of the company attached, and it was renewed twice. The second and third bills were paid away by Kijor Stone to Mr. Alfred Burton, of Oxford-street, who brought an action and recovered judgment agvinst the company. In 1817 and 1848 a large body of the shar_•h•.ldera seceded from the company, and a qutstion would arise as to whether they would he liable fur this debt, and also whether Major Stone, or Mr. Burton, the judgment ertilitor, is entitled to judgment. After a discussion, the Mater allowed the demand as a claim only and not as a debt, giving the party the right to establish it at common law. COCKEEMOUTH ANDWORKINGTON RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at Cuekermuuth on Friday ; Mr. J. W. Fletcher (chairman of the board of directors), is the chair. Mr. Dodds, the secretary, read the report, from which it ap peared that there was a net increase of 1171. Is. I'M. in the traffic receipts, and a decrease in the ordinary working ex penses of the line of 3771. 17s. over the corresponding period of last year. la the half-year of IS3O, 29,775 passengers were conveyed over the line, and in the past half-year the number had been 31.420, thus showing an increase of 1,642. The net balance available for the purpose of dividend was 1,23:d. IS.. 7.1., enabling the directors to propose a dividend at the rate of tn. per share, which would leave a balance remaining in hand of 29.4/. 13.. 7d. The report having been adopted and the rate otdividend assented to, the meet ing separated. APPEALS AGAINST THE 1101.78 E Dtrrr AT SOUTH alirrota.—On Friday last, says 'a correspondent, the ad journed meeting for the hearing of appeals in Southampton against the use:smut:Ma for the house duty in that town, was held, and a similar scene was witnessed to that on Wednesday last as described in Friday's Expless. &Ores of respectable householders, both men and women, thronged the place of appeal, and their clamorous eager ness to get attended to made their meeting resemble a mob ,at the entrance to a theatre. Although the commissioners sat the whole sky hearing appeals, they could not get through the business, and their meeting was again ad urned. The whole of this business connected with the ho duty in Southampton will be submitted to Mr. Will cock,, the member for the borough, in order that it might be brought before parliament. There is abundant evidence to prove that in hundreds of instances the assessments were not made upon the property tax returns, our based upon the ratings to the poor, but that they were made out de signedly at double the amount oftentimes of the actual rental, in the hope that persons would rather pay than sub mit to the trouble of appealing. The Southampton jour nals Inure indignantly denounced the assessments by which it was attempted to plunder the inhabitants, and to make the home-tax odious to the public. The notice papers were dated on the 16th instant, and were not served until within a few days of the day of appeal, and in one parish only the day before. A RIFLE IIItIGADE, TO BE CALLED THE LEEDS Thri.F. Cool's," is in course of formation in the borough of Leeds. Persons of all clones, callings, and parties are ra pidly sending in their intention of enrolling themselves in the volunteer corps. These voluntesTs pnipose that if go. vernment will supply them with arms and neecintrementa they will supply themselves with clothing and go through the requisite drills, &e. Judging from the list of volun teers, as it appearesl on Saturday last, soil front the feeling pervading a very large body of the respectable inhabitants, the o Leeds ltige Corps " proinises to be a very numerous and effective, volunteer brigade.

TUE AUGMENTATION or THE ARTILLERT.—This augmentation, which will amount to about :,000 men will, it is said, be carried out by the selection of the most intel ligent soldiers of the depots about to be reduced. BOARD ov ORDNANcE CIncuLAK.--The Master- Oeoeral and Board of Ordnance have Lately issued a cir , mime to the Royal Artillery. to the effect that in future the ' charge of powder for firing 32-pounder shells is to be Blbs. instead ot 100 he., es hitherto used. 'lice VACANT COLoNELCIES.—Tho coloneley of the 39th Regiment has been vacant since the Ist of Janu ary ; SIMo then that of the 96th is also vacated. It is still believed that Major-General Conyers will succeed to the 39th Regiment. CHATIItM, Fmn. 2.—A rolanteering has opened in Chatham Barracks for the dephts of the Rifle ltrigede, her Majesty's 97th and 69th Regiments, and nobly and willingly have the men eumpoeina these depUts responded to the wishes of the commander an-chief; upwards of three hundred having volunteered their servici, fur the home re giments. It is expected the volunteering wall become general in Chatham. Several recruiting parties have re cently been sent to different localities in England and Ire land. The depAts of the 97th and the Rifle Brigade lately sent out on the recruiting service have been recalled by order of the commander-in chief. Several European con victs, belonging to the sth and 20th Cameroulaus and Royal Artillery, arrived here last week from Gibraltar, and were subsequently marched under military escort from the main guard to Minbank prison. ROTA!. AlNENAL.—Fittecn thousand shells bays been ordered to ue immediately paCeed ready for service mad sent away for the dilf,rent ports throughout England. A still larger order is daily expected ; many of the men work overtime, and additional men and buys are to be entered to complete the supply required. On Thursday the storekeepers' men were mustered anal their names and residences taken down, in case their services should be re . geared in the night to pack stores. Some engineers, htters, &c., are to be entered to complete the orders just re ceived fur machinery, &c. Large enders tor powder bags have been received, and on Saturday last a large quantity was sent away. An etch ris expected for 3,0410 more guns 'to be sent away for actual service. The anticipation of war has caused all departments to be brisk, and instead of a discharge it is stated that from 300 to 500 men and toys will be entered. A number of the engineers " on strike " have applied fur employment at the arbellid.—KeNtish Mer cury. AMMUNITION FOR PORTSMOUTH.—One mounted non. commissioned officer, 1 trumpeter, anal 12 mounter! . . •-• ' gunnen and drivers, with 4 wagiuo•, each drawn by six horses, and having 1 non•commiasioued officer and b dis mounted gunners as an escort, under the command of Licut. Strover, of the E Field Battery, let the Royal Arsenal at 8 o'clock a.m. on Saturday tor the Bricklayers' Arms Railway terminus, with ammunition to be sent by train to Portsmouth. Itultutrisc FOR THE ARMY.—lnstructions were forwarded from the horse. Guards on Saturday to a number of line regiments to send out recruiting parties to enlist men fur the immediate augmentation of the army, it having been resolved by government to increase the cumber of men in the regiments of the line to the extent of 6,004.1 as early as recruit* can be obtained to make up that number. It is ago fully expected, as we originally orated, that when the army estimates fur 1852 3 arc brought before parliament a vote will be called for of an addition of 10,000 men, and that the other 5.000, or nearly that number, will be added to the royal artillery and cavalry regiments. THE RIFLE CLLR AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE.— About ninety members of the Stock Earhange have sigsi fled their intention of belonging to the proposed Rifle Club; it is to be armed with double-barrelled rifles of the value of tin guineas each. I M POItTANT NOVELTY.—PUBLIC WAITING-ROOMS. —On the lith day of May, the Council of the Society of Arts named the following committee :—The Earl of Car lisle, the Earl of Granville, Henry Cole, P.q , C. 8., 8. M. Path, 1 q., M.P. and C. Wentworth I)ilke, Egg. The com mittee has accordingly caused two sets of rooms to be pre pared by way of experiment. The waiting-room for ladies ta at 61, Bedford-street, Strand, on the north side, opposite Coutts's Bank ; and a respectable female has been charged with the superintendence. The waiting-room for gentle men is at 9.., Fleet-street, on too south side. The entrance fee to either is 2d. The hours of mime...ion from it till 7. Each waiting-room is also provided with accommodation for washing, for which the charge is 4d., with a clean towel to each person. It is hoped that the success of this experi ment will induce the public generally to establish these mach-wanted conveniences. That they may be made mil remunerating under proper management, has been proved at the late Great Exhibition. The receipts for the waiting rooms there in five months were 2,1701., while the expenses were only fso/.--a fact to which it is important to direct the attention of the proprietors of theatres and other places of public amusement. As the present movement is of AO novil and delicate a character, and 40 important to public health and comfort, the manntittee nt the Society of Arts have requested their members to make it known as widely ea parable. FURTIIF.R CALLS To TIIF BAR.—A farther call to the bar of students of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple was made on Saturday evening last, and they emu ' prise the following gentlemen:—Meson.

The Jersey Chronicle in prohibited from entering France. A copy of that journal was seized in the French post-office last week, and returned to the publisher, with the word pit-MI/net: written on the whitens. In order that the Jersey journalist should not mistake why the paper was returned, the French post-office authorities translated pro- Albite' by writing the word " forbided" on the address.

The discount market continues to be affected by two circumstances, the abundance of money, and the want of political confidence. Two per cent. may be called the rate for first-class paper, and for money at call 1 percent. is as much as can be got. The joint stock banks have officially announced the re duction of their rates on deposit accounts to 1; per cent. The large corporations arc taking up money at 31 per cent., and the Equitable Assurance Com pany tinds it worth while to sell out stock for such loans. The plethora of money is made more sen sible by the delay of the public in investing the di vidend money, as many persons arc holding back, waiting to ace the play of prices. The first series of colonial wool sales are fixed for the 19th February, and it is not expected that more than 20,000 bales will be brought forward; the stock at present is about 15,090 bales. The date for the commencement of the sales was fixed this day at two o'clock. The imports of bullion and specie during the week have riot been quite so large as of late, they include: 600,253 dole., by the Africa, from New York ; 8,000 dole. by the Gorgon steam sloop, arrived at Ports mouth from 'Valparaiso; 310,000 dole. by the Frank lin, from New 1 ork, of which, however, only 100,000 dola. in American gold were for London ; 2,260/. by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Madrid, of which 7101. was from Gibraltar, and 1,550/. from Lisbon; and 1,0001. in gold dust by the Hellespont from the Cape. We have here a total value for this market of about 150,000/. Reports have been afloat of very large skipmcnts of gold coin to the Australian settlements in con nexion with the gold mining companies. It is true that shipments have been made, but with regard to operations to the extent spoken of, we believe they arc prospective. The total amount of the precious metals exported direct from London during the week ending 'flturs day last is officially stated as follows :—Silver coin : to Rotterdain, 80,000 oz.; to Boulogne, 539 oz.; to Belgium, 1,500 oz. Silver bars: to Itotterdam, 42V100 on.; to Dooltitit, 80,000 0t.3 to 1,189 oz. Gold coin : to Boulogne, 160 or. °ll 7f l o7d bullion : to Sydney, 580/. This gives a total of nearly 40,0001. 'l'llo exports from the other ports, so far as re turned, comprise only a aunt of 1,25111. by the Euxine to Constantinople. The total exports from the king-' dom may thus be taken at about 41,2501. From l'aris we have to report a slight decline in the exchange on London and in bar gold. An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the United Kingdom for the last week, published by Ilerapalles Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,42'7 miles to be 238,251/., or at the rate of 371. per mile per week. The total receipts for the correspond ing period of 1851 were 223,615/. on 6,269 miles, or 351. 15s. per mile per week. There is thus an in -1 crease in the . aggregate receipts of 14,6361., or 6.54 per cent.; an increase in the mileage of 158 miles, or 2.52 per cent.; and an increase in the amount received per mile per week of 11. 50. The Railway g'imes estimates the total receipts since the Ist of Jan. at 908,6151., which, on 6,349 mica, gives an average of 143/. 2s. 31d. per mile, and as the amount for the same period of last year was 858,7301. on 1,136 miles, or 1391. ltts. 1 lid, per mile, the balance is shown to I be in favour of the present half-year to the extent of 31. 3s. 4d. per mile.

Pattenden and Smith report that the demand:for Hops continues unabated, and that the supply on offer is very limited. SMITHFIELD MARKET .—THIS DAY.

Dta Fay ano. . :enchester, have published in their Satur day' . • - - 4 e report an exceedingly interesting table, giving alive estimate of the quantities of raw cotton consul,.: in the chief manufacturilig countries, front 1836 to 1831 (in millions of pounds v.% ight). The following is an extract:— 1536. 1840. 1845. 1849. 18M. Great Britain (millions of pounds) Russia, Germany, Holland, and Belgium 57 72 96 165 118 France (including adjacent countries) Spain Mediterranean Countries bordering on the Adriatic United States of North America Sundries S 6 111 158 205 158 Total 639 $ll 1,017 1,225 1,175 At the foot of the table they soy : " This table is satisfac tory, for it shows that Great Britain, notwithstanding tho restriction in the hours of labour impomid by the Factory Bill, has fully maintained its ground against the industrial establishments of other coastries. We have shown on various occasions that this country, from the greater facility which exists hero of turning the productive power from one article to another, consumes a proportionately larger "hare of cotton when prices rule high. Notwithstanding the hi,ih price of cotton during the first half of the past G . year, (Great Britain worked up per cent. of all cotton consumed in the chief manufacturing countries of the world ; whilst the United States of America communed con siderably less in 1 551 than in any one of the preceding four years; the quantity consumed amounting to only 131 per cent. on the total consumption, 1,175,000,000 lbs. hia decrease is, however, accidental, and cannot be construed into an inability to compete with this country under general circumstances; with the protective duty of '2.1 per cent. which American manufacturers enjoy, the moderate ' price of the raw material will induce a larger conmimption in 18.12, for the production of America consists principally of heavy fabric', which are unremunerating to the manu• lecturer when cotton is high in price." They go on to say ' that the number of spindles in Great Britain has lucre by several hundred thousand mince Isso, and is estimated at 21,400,000; but that a dimpoiportion exists between tho spinning and weaving power, witch would be rectified if the former continued to offer a s • much more profitable in vestment; but the Teverge lout been the ease, taking a number of years, and hence the disinclination to build new spinning mills, notwithstanding the pressnt abundance of capital. GREAT WESTERN Rumor - AlN—The estimate of Mr. Brunel fsw the additional works at Didcot is 10,000 i. The yo•lorhire Gazette states that Mr. Leeman has resig ae.l the Chairmanship of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway.
