Tux LONDON llool'lTAL.—The 107th anniversary of this institution was commemoratcd yesterday evening, by a dinner at the London Tavern, Dishoaagote strict. 11:e Duke of Cambridge took the chair, supported by Lord Robert Orosvenor, Sir Henry Pelly, Colonel Thomas Wood, Wm. Cotton, EA., and other patrons of the hospital. 1: p wants of 150 persons were prevent. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts baring been drunk, his Royal Highneu pro reed Prosperity to the London Hospital." He had re cently visited th►t excellent establishment, and he was delighted to observe the extreme order and neatness which prevailed thrdughout every department of the hos pital. Subeeriptioas were announced, amounting is .1,2001. ; of this sum 29. N. 111. was subscribed by gentlemen of the Hebrew persuasion. The report stated that the number of petien•s admitted into the hospital (luring the year 1846 amounted to 20,831, being an increase of 1,735 over the list referable to the year 1815. The returns from the hospital showed a decrease iu the estate for the present year of 1.279!. 19s. 11d. The business'. of the evening t .rminated at a late hour. It was annour.ced before the ruysl chairman left the chair, that tho late 'l'. Ward, Esq., had bequeathed a sum of 800/. to the society, and that natio° had been received of a legacy of 1,0001. from a late governor whose name was not permitted to be made known. The total amount of subscriptions at the doe of the evening was 3,2551. in addition to the legacies above named. - • CDRafiliTS AND DREGGISTS.—A meeting of the members of the Pharmaceutical Society woo held yesterday at their rooms in Bloomsbury-square, to take into considera tion a bill which it is intended to bring into parliament, " Foe regulating the qualifieatioes of chemists and druggists throoghout England and Wales."—Mr. Mono's took the chair, and observed that it must be evident to all that the measure was ore of the highest importance both to chemists and druggists so a body, and to the public at large. The bill was to ensure all persons acting as dispensing chemists being qualified for the trade. Other persons might sell medicine if they chose, but the public themselves would then be re sponsible for the genuineaees of what they bought. The aim had been to prepare • bill which should meet with as little objection as possible. Whether that aim had been arrived at it would be for the meetinr to decide.—Mr. Bell moved : That INC•IUM.I be forthwith adopted foe promoting the Introduc tion into parlimuent of a bill regulating the qualification,. of chemists sod &landau. throughout rnieland and Wdea, and that the general prineipk of the tall now read are considerel by Me meeting to be • tishostory. A gentlensan proposed the insertion of a clause exempting chemists and druggists from serving on juries, contending that they had es much right to such exemption as physicians or surgeons ; but to this it was a rounded that, although the council had not lost sight of the subject, it was considered advisable not to clog the present bill with any questions which might lead to di:cussion and delay. It was then re solved : That Os meeting pledgee Wolf to employ every means to carry out the rewolutioni now parweJ. A vote of thinks closed the meeting, during the proceeiin es of which not a single objection was offered to any of the r,- solution 4, or to the bill or Petitions. ALLEGED LOSS OP LIFE AT GRAVESEND.—Sir, — In the Express, so well as in some other papers of Mon day, there appears • circumstantial account of the running down on Saturday night of the Francis, of Goo:e, Cthe Columbine, one of the General Stearn Navigation mpany'e steamers. This is a fiction. The Columbine was at sea at the time the accident is said to have occurred, and there is, so far as I have been able to learn after diligent inquiry, no such ship as the Francis, of Goole. The Cohan. bine did not reach Gravesend until 9 o'clock on Monday morning, and during her passage from Havre had neither met with nor heard of any accident whatever.—AN Geneve' OY TKO 0112tERAL STIAM NAVIGATION CONYANT.—[We have refereed this letter to the re porter who eupplird the paragr ph, and his answer fully bears out our correspond ent's contradiction. The report reached him at sceonp hand, and he has been reprimanded fur his carelessness.' THE CATHOLICS AND THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION PLAN. TO Till LARL OP SHILEWMJILT. MY I,ORD,—Thu position in which the Catholic bishops feel themselves placed by the clec'arations of Lord John Russell in the House of Commons seems to call upon them to mike publicly known the couroi which they have panned on the subject of government gran a to catholic schools. If those statements are allowed to go forth without explanation or contradiction, it will be naturally inferred that the catholic prelates have neglected to urge the claims of their poor on the consideration of gnvernaent, and have thus. indirectly at least, sanctioned Pr countenanced their ex clusion from a share in tbo allotment of the sum to he voted this year for education. After their efforts to promote the increase of our own educational funds, by giving to the insti tute a new development and form, for the express purpose, they cannot but feel indignant at seeiog the blame cast upon them of the course pursued by government towards their schools—a mune which they could not characterise in any terse but such as it would be pninful to them to use. It has, therefore, been considered by them right to place be fore your lordship, as president of the Catholic Institute, a brief statement of what has really taken plate on the part of the bishops in this important matter. In his speech of Tuesday, Aprl 19, Lord John Ruasell thus taro sed himself: When it shell ham been brought before us—erien the Roman Ca- Oak bishops shall Aar. repressed their tiers on the sntneet, then will be the time to consider in what manner we OM (;ire the advan tage of any of the public grants to Roman Catholica.—(Them, Almi *LI Again, Lordjdorpoth, in the debate of last night, spoke aa follows Bat, with respect to catholic applications, the feet la, that they lave never assumed a distinct form. /ace meorayst,itateeld, whether the alawhe hie" a - rhy are eifing to admit our inspectionsasa matter of mane.—Them, oprii2l., It is singular, indeed, that now for the first time the', catholic bishops should bo considered as necessary co-ope raters of ministers in a great public measure. When other measures, steeply affecting the re.igious interests of catholic*, have been brought forward, it has never been suggested by ministers that the catholic bishops ought first to be hearil. But now that an excuse is to be framed for not giving catho hes their doe share in a public educational grant, the bishops are declared to be indispensable parties to the at magma:ant, and the exclusion of cathoiics from participation in its advantages is attributed to their not having come for ward to assist the government. But yet no intimation was ever sent to them that such a new and unprecedented course was expected. The facts, however, will not bear out the statements or insinuations of the two noble ministers. On the 10th of February of this year a letter was addressed by Dr. Kay Bhultleworth to the lion. C. Langdale, inquiring what arrangements would be proposed respecting the admis sion of protestant children into catholic schools, in the event of a grant being made to them by government. The answer to this letter was deemed by the commits o of the Catholic lastitute of sufficient importance to be delayed till it could be prepared under the sanction of the bishops when assembled in April. Upon their meeting, the matter was laid before them; and on the 14th instant an answer was returned In their name, which was transmitted to Dr. Kay Bhuttle. worth by Mr. Langdale. To this letter Dr. Kay Shuttle worth replied, stating, for the first time, that the minutes of 1839 required the use of " the authorised version" in all schools aided by government ; but indirectly acknowledging the receipt of the bishop's letter, by stating that the answer i t=tuestions contained in it must be delayed till " their " have reconsi tiered the whole meter of giving grants to ailholite. It is plain, therefore, that the catholic bishops had em the 14th inst. pot themselves into communication with ber Msjesty's ministers on the subject of education. Bat cut so content, they made a direct attempt to treat on this Important subject with Lord John Ru-sell. On the 17th Wm. addressed a note to his lordship, requesting Min le shalt to an audience a deputation of the bishops, in eider M stater with his lordship on the subject of edam lietants to catholics. The following is a copy of his reply ..

It Ney be well asked, hew Lord Jo Russell could, in te d = parlimanit, ea the 19th of April, give it to be that he was welting for the Catholic bishops to stake advances to him on the suhject of educatien, when on the 17th his lordship had virtually refused their request of as interview on that very "object ? It may be remarked, that when the Wesleyan conference applied for an audience en the same 'abject, it was instantly granted to a deputation, headed by Dr. Bowing. Have not the catholic bishops an equal right to the same favour ? But Lord John Russell, in the tame note wbisi he puts off the interview (the meeting of the blimp having in the meantime closed), intimates that there mei no intention of doing anything immediately OR the =of catholic education. And yet, two dais later, he the Ream of Commons that he is waiting for the MAW to apply ei him, is enter to set ! releher. vbelasit the L wseehelk Ifee=seAted that " he was ignorant are willing to admit our in =as a matter et eeerse."

The last accounts from Mayo indicate some of the difficulties with which the authorities will have to contend, both in the working of the Temporary Relief Act, and in the endeavour to induce the people to till the land, I have already stated that the board of guardians of the union of Westport, had refused to strike a rate under the Temporary Relief Act. They give the following reason—the workhouse at West port was built to contain 1,000 persons ; it contains 305 only, and until that is full they protest against any rate for temporary relief outside doors. They add that they have not for months refused admission to a single applicant. These gentlemen manifestly oppose themselves to the spirit of the relief act. The object of that act was to ism° aid out of doors in such a form as should obviate the necessity of continuing the road-works, and to stimulate the cultivation of t h e land by providing that the small holders, while applying their labour to that necessary end, should not starve. Roth those purposes the Westport guardians seem resolved to mar, and unhappily with great success, for there is not in Ireland, perhaps, a single union where the pro gress of tillage has been so small. The guardians are aware that the implied fact, which elute could justify their resolution, namely, that the uncrowded condition of the workhouse arose from the circum stance that there were not paupers to relieve, is less true of the Westport union than, perhaps, of any ether in the kingdom. Witness the official reports before parliament, the letters of Commander Can, end the facts stated in your own columns. How can government deal a ith such men ? How but, in the language of Mr. Secretary Stanley, of the Re lief Commission, holding them responsible to the people and to society for the consequences ? Another difficulty with which the government have to deal—and I hope one confined to the county of Mayo—is this :—The police recently received instruc tions to inquire (and report) into the extent of tillage in the several counties of Ireland. As soon as they were seen abroad on this mission in Mayo—for their object had in some manner become knows, all colliralian ceased, as the people expected the government would, at the eleventh hour, come in and help those who had not tilled their fields. The consequence has beeu that (to use the language of the local paper) " One half the county of Mayo is a waste." In the north matters are managed with more pru dence. Cultivation there is attended to, and the re sults will appear next harvest. Cavan was the most backward county in Ulster, for all its labour was thrown on the highways. Since the reduction the , change has been remarkable. A northern paper states that as far as the eye can reach the country is under cultivation, and that the landlords have vied with each other in liberality to their tenants. A remarkable trial is likely to come off in the next after sittings in the Queen's Bench. It is an action for libel by the Rev. Mr. Brosbie, a convert from the catholic church, and at present a member of a body called " The Priests' Protection Saciety," against the president of Maynooth College. Some curious revelations arc likely to take place if the issue shall go before a jury. SCOTLA.YD. EDINBURGH, Aram 21. The report that the Wesleyans have given in their adherence to the scheme, is manifesting a visible in fluence on the Free-church party. Dr. Cunningham, one of the professors of divinity in the Free-church college, and the Rev. James Begx, ono of her influen tial ministers, have published letters, to the effect that the free presbytery of Edinburgh generally disap proved of the decision of the synod of Glasgow and Ayr, which was adverse to the government scheme. The Forfar, Fife, and Perthshi, e Educational Asso ciation held a special meeting at Dundee for the con sideration of the education scheme, and the result was a petition in its favour. The association also peti tioned against the exclusion of the parochial school masters from the office of registrar. In regard to the Scotch peer, whose case was lately mentioned in the Express, a meeting of the ere diters is soon to be held in Aberdeen, and from the preliminary investigations which have already been made, the trustees, it is said, expect that they will be able to pay three-fourths of the claims, and in the event of the defaulter living for some years (his pre sent age is 69), the whole amount may be liquidated. It is not correct, as some papers have reported, that the greater portion of the estates are entailed, only a small part are in that position. PROVINCIAL. HEALTH or TOWNITtIii: I -imeeting of the inhabi tants of Manchester has been held to consider the proposed measure of Lord Morpeth's. The meeting was convened by the surveyors of highways, who professed to have no object in view but that of shielding themselves from any future reproach, that they had allowed &bill to be passed affect ing property without giving the ratepsyen an opportunity of expressing an opinion upon it. Mr. 1.. Williams, one of the surveyors, presided, and read a series of resolutions drawn up by anticipation of the wish of the meeting, express ing an opinion that Manchester should be exempted from the provisions of the bill. To these a petition in favour of the bill was opposed, as an amendment. Ultimately the original resolutions were adopted,with an alteration, making the objection not special (as 'applicable to Manchester) but general, and this was carried by a majority of about twenty to nine votes. Though the meeting was held in the Town hall, and a public one, not more than fifty persons attended ; those persons being principally the owners of small cottage Property. SINGULAR CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.—At Manchester, yesterday, three parties were brought up oa bench warrants before the magistrates for bail, having been indicted at the sessions recently terminated, for conspiring to defraud Mr. Samuel Mills, a cotton manufacturer, of goods to a large amount, under the following singular circumstances. The names of the prisoners are Ely Howard, Wm. Sutcliffe, and Wm. Wilkinson. Sutcliffe is in business as a cotton com mission agent, Wilkinson being his salesman, or foreman. The charge is that Howard, being a well-known swindler, obtained goads to a large amount, at the fall of last year, from Sutcliffe, and being unable to pay, Sutcliffe and hill salesman finding the unfortunate position in which they had been placed by him, joined in a conspiracy whereby they enabled him to obtain goods from Mr. Mills to cover their own account. Howard, it was stated, went to the ware house of Mr. Mills and bargained for goods; but Mr. Mills would not part with the goods without a reference, and this reference Sutcliffe and Wilkinson furnished, well-knowing that Howard at the time was unable to pay, and was of bad character. Mr. Keswick, the chief superintendent of police, stated that Howard had been imprisoned two years for rob bing a man in his own house, and up surds of thirty war rants had been out against him at different times for mal practices. The prisoners were admitted to bail, in two sureties of 1501. each; but Howard, though he expressed confidence that he should raise the amount, was locked up. THE MERSEY OUTSTRIPPING THE THAMES.—We ( Li verpool Standard) noticed last week the gratifying fact, that the tonnage inwards and outwards of the port of Liverpool had at length attained to a greater amount than that fre quenting even the Thames itself; sad we have now the pleasure to inform our readers, that the customs revenue of the port continues steadily to increase. The following is the account for the quarter ending sth April, as compared with the corresponding period of last year:—Jan. Feb. March, 1846, 793.4241. Jan. Feb. March, 1847, 840,0621. Showing an increase upon the quarter of 46,638!. The receipts for the last month would no doubt have been greater but for the prevalence of adverse winds, and the difficulty in pro curing vessels in foreign porta to bring home our inward bound produce. The following Is a comparative statement of the receipts for the year ended sth April 1847, as eons pared with the previous year .-1845-6, 3,297,5631. ; 1846-7, 3,659,7471. Showing an increase on the year of 362,1841. We ought to explain that our January return was only made up to the Ist of the month. The increase we may, on this ground, fairly set down at 380,0001. This, however, does not at all present the real increase of business done in the port. A PHYSIOGNOMIST ox THE BENCH.—It has long been an axiom of English law, that the judge is the prisoner's coun sel. No such notion, however, would prevail among those I who may ever chance to be witnesses of the mode in which the business of "summing un " toe jury is conducted by the gentleman who presides in the "second court" at the sessions in this town. On Thursday last, Mr. Marshall wound up bis summary with the remark, "You cannot have any doubt as to the prisoner's guilt ; his very counte nance would hang Aim! " —Preston Chronicle. "Itis to be hoped," says the Liverpool Mercury, in quoting this para graph, ' that this very . remark will be sufficient with the Home Secretary to justify Mr. Marshall's removal from the bench. !runlet( Meese g.—fit; erection of the new museum has been commenced upon the site selected on the south side of the street proposed to be formed from St. Mathews's to St. Mary Elms. The walls are already ten feet from the ground. There will be a spacious lobby, with library and apartments for specimens, and other rooms adapted to Bach an institution ; the fine oaken staircase in the late reddence of W. Itodwell, esq. will, we are informed, be put in requi sition, it having been selected for that purpose by the com mittee. In addition to the 7001. before announced, other donations and subscriptions have been received. NORFOLK. TRK NoawicH ARCHAIOLOCIac tL Soci STY held its quar terly meeting laat week.

HER MAJESIT'S THEATRE.—Last night, as usual on the Toursdays, there was a profusion of entertaiaments at this theatre. In the flint place, Donizetti's comic opera, " L'Eliair d'Amore," wan admirably performed. Madame Cm:ellen wax Arnim', 0.1111 ni Nemorino, F. Lablache Bekore, and Lablache Dr. Dutenosara. Nothing could be better than Castellani representa tion of the rustic eequette and Gardoni looked and acted the jealous country lad to perfection. They both sang charmingly; midair apology tkat MY made for Madame Castellon, on the score of hoarseness, seemed eltogetner un necessary. The little air " Una furtive lagrima,' the gem of the opera, was beautifully sung by Oardoni. Lablache as the illustiious Doctor, was magnificent. lie seemed in exuberant spirits, and indulged in a thousand humourous freaks inspired by the impulse of the moment, which kept the audience in a state of constant hilarity. His son played the dashing arrjeant capitally; and the piece, ro acted, was a most amusing little come . y, in ilependently of its musical meras, which are a great, that we are inclined to regard it as Donisetti's chef d'muore. The melodies have the gaiety and grace, and the accompaniments the lightness and elegance, of the old Italian opera. Every scene went off ith the greatest spirit, and the whole perfcrmance was warmly applauded. The opera was followed by a dirertisse nsent, from the ballet of " Lulls Rookh," which exhibited a perfect constellation of talent—Cerito, Rozati, Marie Tag hoot, Lucile Grahn, St. Leon, and Perrot. Then followed the third act of ti I Due loscari ;" the pas de qualre from the " Lac des Fk,," in which Cerito and St. Leen again appeared ; and, last of all, the new ballet, " Orithia ;" a bill of fare sufficient to satisfy the keenest appetite. At what hour in the morning the banquet ended we know not, haw ins withdrawn from it long before its termination. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS.

RAILWAY COW CAN V.—lNJusrriox.—Mr. liethell and Mr. Elmsley moved for an injunction on behalf of the plaintiff, who was a gentleman risidinir near Huddersfield, to restrain the Manchester and Leeds ltailway Company from committing waste and from doing any injury to hi, property. The rail way easupauy did not oppose the application, anti the injunc tion was granted. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Ex PA lITIS CIFLIFFITII6.—ADMLNISTILATION OP TILE GAME-tan's.—Mr. Fallacy moved for a rule calling on John Edward Saunders, E q., a magistrate of the county of Caermarthen, residing near Caermarthen, to show cause why • crinsieal information should not he filled against him for has ing refused to admit to bail one W I iara 0 ritfiths, whom he had committed to take his trial for an offence against the game-laws. By the affidavits nn which the learned coun.el moved, the following facts were disclosed:—Aliont nine o'cleck in the evening of Monday, the 7th of December last, William Griffiths, the applicant, and his con, were walking on a public tramroad, near Llanethly, towards the sea-shore, on to which a large quantity of wild fowl lath been drive n by the weather. When they were t.t a spat two miles distant from any place containing game, a man on horsebackcanse up, called out to them " Who are you ?" jumped off his horse, seized the cider Griffiths by the collar, and held up a whip as if about to strike. Griffiths held up a Fun which he had in his hand, and the man then let go, esy ang , " 1 know you," and went away. Mama eight o'clock in the evening of the following Friday, a policeman rent to the house of Griffiths, which is near Llanethly, took bins and his son to the house of one al:Kiernen, handcuffed them, and then locked them up all night. On the next day, Gr.ffiths and his son were taken to the patty 'anions, at Caermarthen, a distance of 21 miles, although petty ses sions were that day held, according to custom, at Llanethly. When Griffiths was brought before the magistrates at C ter marthen, it appeared that the warrant fur his apprehension had been issued by Mr. Saunders, who was present, and assumed the management of the case. Tr • witnesses were called M Kiernan, the man who had collared Griffiths on the Monday evening, and the policeman who had taken Griffiths into custody. The former described what had taken place en the Monday evening ; and, in addition to the state ment above set torte, said that he was a superintendent in the service of the Berryport and Caermarthen Trararoad Company that on hie approaching the younger Griffiths, the elder moved towards him, as if about to stoke, and Paid that he would " settle " him that he hail told them they had no business on the company's property that there were some rabbles on land of the company about two miles distant from the place where he saw Griffiths and his son, into which land, however, they did not enter and that he had no doubt "they were out for the turpose of taking or killing game that night somewhere." the policeman said that he had seen at the lone of Griffiths, on the night when he ap prehended him, the skin of either a rabbit or a hare, but of which he could not say, as he did not notice. Mr. Saunders was very angry with the policeman fur not stating positively of what animal the skin was, and said that he should commit the prisoners to take their trial at the quarter sessions. One of the magistrates present said something against committing the younger Griffith,, who was only fourteen years old, and Mr. Saunders consented to let him go, but he committed the elder for being found on land is the night armed, with the intent of killing game there, and for offering violence to the person who tried to apprehend him—a transportable offence under the 9 Gee. IV. c. 69, e. 2. The warrant of committal was signed by another magitoratc, who had not taken any part in the proceedings, and by Mr. Saunders, who, at the time of committing, said that he would not take bail. At the next petty sessions, which were held on the 19th of December, application to admit Griffiths to bail was made to Mr. Saunders, and two respectable tradesmen were tendered. Mr. Saunders refused to take the bail, alleging that they were not worth 1001. each; that they would nut do unless they were farmers; and that the elder Griffiths was an escaped convict. Now Griffiths had been sentenced in 1839 to be transported for seven years for larceny : but he had been pardoned on the ground of goal conduct after service in the hulks fur four years, and had received a certificate of pardon, a suit of clothes, and W. in money. The certificate was produced and shown to Mr. Saunders, who said that it was counterfeit; that counterfeit certificates were sold at the hulks for 6,11. ; that he could not take bail until he bad an answer to a letter which the gaoler had been ordered to write shout the certi ficee ; and that he would let them know when the answer arrived. A few days afterwards the bail received a letter from the magistrate's clerk, saving that the certificate was genuine, and they had better come; and on the 29th of December, being a week before the quarter sessions, they went to the house of Mr. Saunders, to tender themselves again. They found him entering his carriage. He turned to them, and said that he had sent to their pariah, and found that they were not worth 1001. ; that putting in bail would cost them do much money; that the sessions would be held in a week's time ; and that they had better leave him where he was. They replied that Griffiths bad a wife and chil dren; that the children werkell under him, and could not work, while he was in gaol, for want of dia,ctions. The wife of Griffiths then came forward. She was in tears, end Mr. Saunders asked who she was. On being told, he said it was of no use; they should not get him nut till the sessions. Griffiths, therefore, remained in gaol until the sessions, which were held on the Bth of January, wht n be was tried and acquitted. Ho now swore that he had never been guilty of an offence against the game laws, and that the akin seen at his house was a hareekin left by a friend to be sold for a small suns to a woman who travels the country collecting hare,skins. The greatest pas sible difficulty had since been thrown in the way of redress. The warrant had been given up by the constable, and it was only by the intervention of the Vice Lieutenant of the county that a copy of it had been obtained. Even now a copy of the information could not be obtained. Lord Denman: Is it rumoured that Mr. Saunders pro cured the information to be made before him ? Mr. Pashley: It appears that the attorney for the informa tion was not the attorney of Mc Kiernan, who resides at Llanethly, but an attorney who resides at Caermarthon, and is the attorney of Mr. Saunders. The application is in time, because the rule is that it be made in the tern, next but one after the act complained of, eutiiciently early to admit of cause being shown in that term. Lord Denman : You are entitled to a rule.—Rule nisi. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Banco. GILES AND ANOTHER D.

The ease was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at Westminster, on the 10th of February last, when the plaintiffs were nonsuited by direction of the learned judge.

SIIESIONDS.—JUDOMPETT.—A SINOLE WIT NESS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PROVE A EXASIGE.—The learned judge proceeded to give his decision in this cause, the argu ments m which were heard some time back. The husband sought the court to compel the wife to return to cohabita tion. The lady objected to the prayer, as she alleged cruelty and adultery against the husband.—The lady bad an income of 8001. in her own right. After reviewing the evidence, the court said the case comes to this—Was the evidence sufficient to prove the pleas ? One witness was not sufficieut in a case like this. Mr. Simmonds was not entitled to the favourable consideration of the court, but to justice be was. Neither adultery nor cruelty, in this case, had been proved. Mrs. Sinamonds, therefore, must return to her husband. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Deters Mr. Commissioner Shepherd. THE TEIN_ 2 O READING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COMTANY.—This ease has been frequently reported, and this day was fixed for the Hon. Mr. Berkeley, and two other gentlemen, who were directors of the company, and who were appointed is make out the balance sheet, to pass their last examination.—Mr. E. James, for these gentlemen, stated that they had filed the best accounts they could, and had attended upon the official assignee on several occasions, but he had heard that he (the official assignee) had made a certain report, which would require explanation ; and he (Mr. Janie', was now prepared to give any explanation which might he required. An amended balance-skeet had lately been handed in, upon the suggestion of the official assignee, and there was no perms in attendance to oppose. He (Mr. James) would be happy to be informed if there was any objection to the balance-sheet.—His Honour said that there was, and it had not been filed within 10 days of this period. — Mr. James said that it was handed to the official assignee at his suggestion, and if ten days were required he (Mr. James) would stand upon the old balance-sheet.—The official assignee said that there were 660 shams allotted to Hill and Everill, and sold by them oa Walt at the company, and there were 490 shares end deposits paid to the solicitors and charged to them. He wi,bed an account as to this.—Mr. Hutt, for Hill and Everill, said that an account of the shares alluded to had been handed to the official assignee.— Mr. Duncan, as counsel for Mr. Atkinson, a traffic taker, who had not yet proved his debt, he claiming 413!. from the company, slid that he should require time to investigate the account.—His Honour said that the accounts had not been tiled in sufficient time, and the ease must be adjourned.— The last examination was then adjourned. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Before Mr. flerkant Mama. JUDOMINT ON MAJOR BENIOWSKI.—At the sitting of the court, Mnjor Beniow•ki appeared in court, to receive judgment, he having been convected at the last sessions of an assault upon Mr. David Urquhart.—The learned judge said, under all circumstances the sentence would be imprisonment for one month in the House of Correction, and at the expira tion of which, to enter into his own recognisance in the sum of 601., and find one surety in 251.—The defendant: My lead, this sentence will be my utter rain. May I address a few words to your lordship?—The learned judge having assented, the defendant said : I know very well, my lord, that you are not inclined to impose upon me a heavier sentence than I merit, or the good of society demands, but believe me the sentence your lordship haa pronounced will entail upon me a severer punishment than the heaviest tine that could be in flicted. The 17th of May is the last day allowed me for the perfection of three patents, trashed me by her Majesty for inventions of mine—that day hu been gazette& and by your senteneo I shad then be in prism, I implore your I"ril•hip to reconsider your sentence, and to are whethm you coati not erotutistently with your duty alter it from imprison ment to fine. The learned judge said this would justify him in a departere from the orihnsry course. The sentence was then altered from irr.prisonment to a fine of NI. with tho security beforo required. The ails was j aid and the de fendant set at liberty. POLICE. _ EsTERDAT. MANSION-HOUSE Hondas° a FAT/Irlt. —John Doyle WU eharge 1 with having in conjunction with another person, robbed hie father of property to the amount of be tween 200/. to 3031. Martin Doyle, the prosecutor, wko has been some time in the habit of coming to London to make bargains in the clothes line, stated that his eon had decamped from one of his places of business in Dublin, with about 150 coats, and 100 pairs of trousers. By accident a letter had been found in the possession of one of the companions of the prisoner soon after his flight, and the witness pursued bins to Lniclon and apprehended him.—The Lord Isyor Hare you got any evidence to show that be robbed you of your clothes?—The Prosecutor Ev'dence ? Why to be sure I have. Isn't it evidence enough that he had no money at all in Dublin, and over he comes here, and five sovereigns are found in hi. pocket. Besides has n't he sent down the man that came off with him, to Manchester, to d.po•e of a large quantity of the clothes?—]!r. Goodman : That is not evi dence, although it constitutes good ground of suspicion. The prisoner said he hod been the victim of the most extra ordinary persecutions. The person with whom be was accused was in his father's employment, end as he was coming to London to try to make his fortune he thought he would du the same. The fine sore reigns woe part of his own earnings.—The Lord M , yor amid it was a serious charge, and he asked prosecutor whether he thought he should be able to procure evidence to induce 11 , m to send the prisoner to Dublin?—The prosecutor answered in Uri. affirmative, and the prisoner was remanded. MONEY MARKET. Tx LiIsDAY EVENING. The appearance of the funds today has been something like that of ordinary times, with a moderate activity of business and slight variations of price, scarcely exceeding the 1 change of the turn at which dealers will buy tau moment and sell the next. The market at the opening was more heavy than subsequently, from no other cause apparently then the unsatistactory reading of the accounts from Laneriabire. Consols Were quo:ed in decline at 86; to 7 for money, and 87 to 1 for time ; they left 01l after trivial fluctuations between these end rather higher rates, at 86; to 7 money, and 87 time. Upon balance therefore they were a shade more depressed. Reduced Theca were 834 to 6. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 871 to 8. Exchequer 1:ills made a step in advance at par to 2s. premium. India Bonds, par to 2 premium. Console Scrip, to I dis. Bank Stock, 193 to 5. Long Armudies, 8 15-16 to 9. Foreign stocks still changed hands but seldom, and only in small amounts. There is no disposition to deal in them in times like the present, with money affairs out of order, and more tempting speculations in the hwme funds, in which Lusiness can be dime and stock values realised to any extent with the least delay. One or two bargains took place in Bra e lien, which remain quoted at 82 to 4. Chiliaa ob tained 92, and were called 91 to 2. Mexican were 19wer at 201 to 1. New Grenada, 191 to 20y. Dutch came a shade worse from Amsterdam, and declined to day here, the Two. and-a GeV per Cents. to 581 to 1, the Fours to 891 to 4. Portuguese 31 to 5 swain:llr. The unfavour able nature of the advice' from Madrid .de6p.rcsAsetl.rainSpanish_g_ Fives to 241 to ii, the Threes to 351 to ___ „, to pris ate advices the Matirid money market was iu a state of derangement which foreboded something like an approaching nisi.. It was to be feared that the spirit of speculation'! wbi_h has been ruling in Spain fur some time past, and ex hibited in the shape of innumerable mining and other scheeles and shares, would conclude like all excesses with an ihconventent and damaging reaction. It was suggested yesterday that the short time working in Manchester and the districts around it might tend ma teriel/ to mitigate, if not altogether to obviate, the ill effects which might otherwise have followed in a full current of business and employment from existing derangements in the general money market. Where the o;ieratious are, end must necessarily be, in a branch of national industry so giant as the cotton manufacture, carried on to a great ex tent upon a speculative anticipated demand in distant quartets of the globe, from whence the returns must be slow, it is evident that any intennption to the usual course of cred.t and banking aceommodation at home could not fail to be productive of mischief in proportion with the rigour of the repressive action. It is there fore son.ewhat fortunate uhder actual circumstances that speculative energise were discouraged by the great rise in the prices of :he raw material so opportunely, and that produc tion has been moderated so far as to adjust itself more pre cisely to that demand which comes from abroad with hard money or undeniable credits ta cover it here in hand, than which no trade can bo more safe, or be less dependent upon any fluctuations of money values. That a trade of this de scription has been carrying on with some, if not with al, the advantage that could be desired, is in evidence frost the fact that the exports of textile wares for the year ending with the 16th of March last have been materially in advance of those for the previous corresponding year. The exports for the first three months of the present year also considerably exceed those for th first quarter of 1846, and whlist it is ignorantly contended in son, quarters that a very climinithed quantity of cotton fabrics has goo' forward to the United States this year, we are informed Intl the circular of Meson. l)u lay and Co., of Manchester, a most respectable and unimpeachable authority, that the in crease to that country alone, to the cod of March last, had reached In plain cottons, to about 4 millions of yards. Dyed and printed, to 41 do. Whilst to Brazil the nu:Tease was: or 'dein cotton!. Dyed sud printed 4, do. To N.tples and Sicily, increase In dyedsnd printed li do. From the impediments of war there wu a decrease in dyed and printed goods Se Mexico of 31 millions of yank ; to Trieste, Sardinia, Tuscany, in plain cottons of 5 mil lion yards, and in dyed awl printed goods of 2 million. ; to Portugal, in plain calicos, of 41 millions. So that on balance the increase was 41 million yards of exports over the corre sponding period of last year. This state of the account is more consoling than might have been expec'ed. Added to this, it must be remarked that all accounts agree in representing the home, or what in Manchester would be called the " country " trade, as in a satisfactory train, u must naturally result from the high prices following upon abundant crops of which the agricul tural clalocs have had the advantage this year, and the last in some degree u well. There can be little question that contracts and purchases of importance are now making, or negotiating, by American traders, many of whom have come over expressly to that end, and many, if not most of whom, will oe prepared to cover purchases which cannot be much longer delayed with money or the ►est securities for money. Parties here wall qualified to form correct conclusions, are therchiro inclined to think more hopefully of the prospects of the present position of the cotton manufacture than what some of the accounts would seem to justify. From the facts stated, it would appear that r i great money pressure need he appre hended in Manchester, so far as the manufacturing trade is concerned. lf, at all, it must more probably be attributable to an inconvenient exi co of railway securities and speculation.
