ROYAL ACADEMY OP Mtnc.—The fourth ani last concert of the season took place at the Hanover square Rooms on Saturday morni, and was attended by crowded aunierce. It presented a feature, in which (as we have several times remarked) these concerts are viten deficient; it exhibited, by several meritorious specimens, the progress of the pupils in the art of composition. An orchestral sym phony, which commenced the performance, by II C. Banis ter, King's scholar, a youth cf fifteen, was a surerising proof of early genius cultivated by sound instruction. Many parts of i. (especially the andante and the minuet and trio) were exceedingly fresh and pleasing ; and the ideas were worked out and expanded with contrapuntal skill and ingenious instrumental combination. A selection front a mast, by Mr. 11. Wylde, did great honour to the composer ; though its beauties were not a little ollecured by a slovenly performance. This is a complaint we hare repeatedly had occasion to make, and never with greater reason than on Saturday. The instru• mental orchestra, as well as the hot us, throughout the whole concert, were loud, inaccurate, and evidently careless. The instruments were not even in tune. Tho conduct r is well known to be an able man, but he seems to hold the reins of discipline somewhat loosely. lo Mr. ‘Vjlile'a " Benedietus." • beautiful quartet, eery well sung by the Misses lialrovd, Mr. Cocking, and Mr. Wallworth, the voices were overwhelmed bye nv.ta of team and discordant accompaniment ; and the same thing, more or less, was the case with all the vocal pieces of the day. Mr. Jewson's overture, called "The Pass of Killicrenkie," if pert , ' med by the Pitillisesuonic band, would f e regard , d as a master piece. Though by no means an imitation of Mendelseohn, it remieded as of his style ; its melody is fl 'wing, and it isclear and broad in its effect. The solo instrumental performances were, the first movement of Spohr's vis.in coreerto in 0, played be Mr. Simmons, and Weber's Coneere-steek, played by less E. Childe ; both were creditable exhibitions, but the pieces presented too many difficulties, and demanded ' . too great a 'teenage of hand to be successtully executed 1 y such young perf.rmens. Of the vocal performers the most remarkable was that of Miss Browne, who gave the scene tram " La Sonnambula," containing the air,' Come per me serene," with a force of expression and brilliancy of exer tion that seemed to surprise as well as delight the audience. When this young lady made her daut at the previous con. eert we augured great success in her proferionel career, a prophecy which we can now make with still more confidence. Another excellent performance was the duet " Fantle se alberghi " from the " Andronico " of Mereadnnte, sung by Miss Ransford and Mies Salmon. The former has a spiendid soprano voice and brilliant excels. tion ; the latter a rich, mellow contralto, with • pure and graceful style, though her powers are evidently repressed as yet by a not unpleasing timidity. There were several other creditable thirgs which do rot call fur particular remark. Old Morley's madrigal, " Fire, my he,rt," was the best executed morreau d'ertsenable of the coecert. The committee of management of the Royal Academy have put forth, for the information of the subscribers and the public, e list of the pupils since its foundation in 1822, with a list of subscriber., ar.d a general account of the state of tee funds to the pr. sent period; in short, a statistical his tory of the institution. To the name of each pupil is sub joined a note of his or her subsequent course, from which it appears that a very large proportion of the whole number have attained an honourable position in the musical profession, and that not a few of them have gained emi nence and reputation in various branches of the art. I The following statement of the committee is worthy of atten din Of the 769 pupils whose names are herein recorded, 58 have been, and four are at present, educated gratuitously, and 189 have been educated on terms so much below the regulated payments as to leave nearly the whole charge of their education to be borne by the institution ; and the rest (who have made the full payments required by the regula tions of the academy) are calculated, upon an average, as defraying little more than one. hall the expenses incurred by them, while the more advanced pupils, requiring the first class cal in asters, pay nothing even approactone to this proportion; and it es to the carrying out of these o'•jects, to the sepply mg the deficiency of means where talent is evinced, that the suaseriptions and resources of the institution are applied." br D rama. IlautsitErr.—The entertainments on Saturday evening were for the bercfit of Mr. Webster. There wns a full and fashionable audience. The play was " The Stranger," performed for the first time this season, the parts of the &ranger and .11rs. !latter being tilled by Mr. and Mrs Charles Kean. If anything could reconcile us to the equivocal moral, and mawkish sentimentality of the thy, it would be the admirable acting of this distinguished couple. The last scene was paiofullv realised, as WAS amply satiated by the sympathising tears of the fairer portion of the audience. it is minuet superfluous to say that the comic business received full justice at the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley. The airs of the Latter as the waiting maid, and the siniricity of the former, as Prier, formed a tine relief to the more sombre portions of the play, and afforded the audience many • he irty laugh. Mr. Webster, who had not much to 'do, looked well, and received repeated tokens of the good will and esteem of the audience. After the play Mr. and Mrs. Kean were called before the curtain and npturously ap plauded. The other entertainments consisted of a " History of England," by Mr. John Parry, which, if natio veracious as the chronicles, was certainly quite as amusing; and the comedy of " The Wonder," in the leading characters of which Mr. and Mrs. Kean again elicited warm approval, although the occasional languor of the latter gave some slight indicatioa that the sprightliness of I - golante had cs.me too quickly upon Mrs. !teller's sentimental sorrows.

MIMEO AND OTHERS. — SCOTCH KIRE.—Mr. Bethel' opened an appeal from a de cree of Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, by which his Honour ordered the Rev. Mr. Moors, minister of the Scotch kirk in Manchester, to be removed, WI teaching doctrines different from thou of the founders, and also some of the trustees. There are the appeals by different defendants. The fur ther hearing w re as, at four o'clock, adjourned to Monday (this da itooes v. CLEOHORN.—WILL.—ESTATE IN I' 8E SIMPLE of roe Schomberg opened this appeal against a decision of the Master of the Rolls, on the construction of the will or Robert Cleghorn, by which he devised his freehold nod copyhold lands to trustees fur the use of his three natural children, and to pay to them and the survivors of them the rents and profits in equel shares far their main tenance and education, until they should attain their ages. Two of the three died, and the testator's heir-at-law claimed their shares, on the ground that they took an estate fur life only. The Master of the R , ,111 held that the three children took estates in fee as tenants in common. The learned counsel argued against that decision, that, though the lands were devised in fen to the trustees, it did Lot follow that the cestuis qui trust took estates in fee lie cited, among other cues, "Challenger v. Shepherd" (8, Term Reports), " Knight v. Selby" (3. Scott), " Hovey v. Smith" (cases its Chancery), and submitted that the heir-at-law should not be disinherited except upon plain words and manifest inten tion of testator.—Mr. Rat and Mr. Stevens contra argued that the testator's intention was clearly expres,ed u giving estates in fee simple to the three children, and they claimed the benefit of the cues that were cited in support of the de cision of the Muter of the Rolls, that a devise to trustees in fee was a devise equally extensive to the ceetuis qui trust. —The Lord Chassis llor said he had no doubt that the judg ment of the Master of the Rolls was right. His lordship was satisfied that the testator's intention was to give an es tate in fee simple to the children, and there was no resulting trust to the heir-at-law. The rule of law was properly laid down in the cases that were cited. It was not now neces sary, after the deaths of two of the children, to decide whe ther they took as tenants in common or otherwise. Before Vine-Channetkie wlgram. STAMPS V. THE BIRMINOHAR, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY.— INJUNCTION.— His Honour gave judgment upon two motions which had been made in this cause, one by the plaintiff for a sequestra tion against the company for an alleged breach of an injunction by which they were restrained from prosecuting their works, so us to interfere with or damage the plaintiff's premises ; the other by the company for a dissolution of the injunction. It was mentioned in our report of the cue upon the argument, Ilia Honour, iu delivering his final judgment upon the mo tions, said it had been objected that the proceedings on which the defendants founded their claim to have the in junction dissolved had taken place after their answer in the suit had been filed. This was a technical objection, which we of itself fatal to the defendants' motion. With regard to the motion fora sequestration, it appeared that certain acts which were the subject of the injunction had been re sumed by a workman of the defendants, under the impres skit that they had bought all the plaintiff's interest in the land. The evidence, however, failed to show that this had been done with the sanction of the company ; and it did not appear that any of the witnesses had apprehended danger from those acts, or that any application, in consequence thereof, hail been made to the company to desist. Both motions must, therefore, be dismissed, with costs. ELLIOTT V. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY COMPANY.—IN JUNCTION —The defendants, by the direction of the Surveyor- General, bad carried their line over Union-street, Plymouth, by a bridge 18 feet high, and to do this had Seen obliged to deviate more than five feet from the level of their datum line. The plaintiff, as owner of land over which the railway passed, obtained an injunction restraining the defendants from continuing their works upon the proposed level. Upon the motion to dissolve the injunction the defendants alleged that the lands occupied by the plaintiff were not town lands, and that therefore the deviation was legal under the Com panies Clauses' Consolidation Act. The court directed an action to be brought to try the question, and the jury at the trial of the action had found that the lands were not " town lands ;" but a new trial had been directed on the ground of misdirectbin.—Mr. Rolt and Mr. Stevens renewed the mo tion to dissolve on the ground of inconvenience to the company from the delay pending the second trial, and upon the prim facie c. ee appearing from the affidavit end see.* Lions and the result of the first trial. His Honour refined to dissolve the injunction, especially as the company declined undertaking to remove their works, if they should turn out illegal. The motion wan directed to stand over till another day, when the court would finally di-pose of the question of costs. LETTS V. THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY.—TITHES IN THE PARISH OF ST. OLAVE, CITY. —This was a bill for tithes, by the rector of St. Olave Hart street, in the City of London. The tithes were claimed from the defendants as due under the provisions of an act of par liament (2 & 3 Vie c. 95) by which the company was enabled to remove ce rtain dwelling-houses and buildings in the parish, for the purpose of making the railway. The houses (33 in number) which were taken down by the de fendants were subject to tithes, at the rate of 2s. 9d. in the pound, under the statute 37 Henry VIII., e. 12; and the act 2 & 3 Via provided for the indmnity of the Teeter in respect of such right to tithes, by enacting that the company should pay the rec'or tithes in respect of the hour a removed, according to the last assessment thereof to Lady-day,. 1839, equal to the loss sustained by want of occupiers owing to such removal, until new houses or other buildings should be erected of such annual value that the tithes payable thereon should be equal to the tithes payable on the buildings removed. Upon some of the houses pulled down by the company the plaintiff had been in the habit of receiving 2s. 9d in the pound upon the full annual value; on others he had, by agreement with the occupier, received tithe at lee' than the annual value; and at the hearing of the cause in January, 1847, he had been declared entitled to tithe from the com ' puny, according to the annual value at which the property removed had been last fixed by agreement between the rector and the occupier ; and that where no such agreement had been made, the sum last collected as tithes should be taken as representing 2a. Od. in the pound on the annual value of G d e i n re ere cted an to d the m m r. ut s e pe r to A the buildings' ; in d d a ih r inquire and state the annual values of the houses, according to such agreement ( it any); or, if no agreement, then according to the last annual sum collected. The master had since made his report, and the cause now came back upon numerous exceptions which bad been taken to that report. The exception s related either to the amounts fixed by the master rs the last agreed annual values of the houses, or to his finding in respect of the houses taken, the company ob jecting that some of the houses mentio .ed in the schedule to his report bad not been required by them—Mr. Wood and Mr. B. B. Bell appeared for the company in support of the e efere tlo n licito w r u . contra for the plaintiff.—The argument was proceeding at A the rising of the mut. ot COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings at Nie Paton at Guildhall—Before lArd DCTIMMII and a arattal Jan. Joiras ow) &norm a. LAwsioca.—KANAonw Cow THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1848. ______------- urrreznere.—Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. H. Hill appeared for the plaintiffs, end Mr. Serjeant She. and Mr. Lush tor the defendant.—lt appeared that plaintiffi were sta tioners sod printers carrying on their business at Eastchesp, and the defendant is an extensive builder at Horton, who recently succeeded Mr. Hughes as alderman of the Breed street ward. This action was brought against the defendant, as one of the provisional committee of a company which had been started for the formation of a railwiy from Reading to Reigate, to be called the Reading and Reigate Atmospheric Reilway Company, to recover 1501., the amount of the plain tiffs' bill for verbena articles supplied by them to the company. The defendant had been appointed' member of the managing committee on the 19th September, 1841, and had frequently acted upon the committee. It was proved that he had written the words Uood—W Sham ILawrence," opposite the names of certain persons whit had applied for shares, and done other meta in virtue of his office. It further appeared that the defendant had seen the plaintiffs' bill, and inquired whet his proportion would be, as he was ready to give a cheque for his share.—For the defence it was con tended, that there was nothing to show that the goods were supplied on the credit of the defendant, or that the pbuotiffs knew that he was on the managing committee; and that his merely being on the provisional committee would not render him liable.—Lord Denman said that whether a provisional or managing committee man, the defendant bad evidently taken an active part in the concerns of the company, and had offered to pay his share of the plaintiffs' demand. It we' astonishing. under such circumstances, that a jury should be asked whether there was a doubt of his liability. The jury at once found for the plaintiffs for 108!. as. 61., being the amount due to the plaintiffs from the 19th Sept., 1845, as agreed on by counsel, Lord Denman ictimatina that he considered the defendant liable fur the whole amount of the plaintiff.' demand. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Nast Penis.—Before Mr. Justice Williams and a special Jury. DAVIDSON IL DOHN.—INVASION OPCOPYRIONT.—In this case the plaintiff brought an action to recover damages from the defendant, on the ground that the latter invaded his right as the representative of W. Cumherland, to the copyright of three songs, entitled " The Drinking Song " in Der Freischutx," " Rome, sweet home," and " Said a smile to a tear," by printing copies of these songs in music, and owing them for sale, and also by se nted.—The defendant pleaded not guilty as far as invasion went ; and secondly, that there was no evidence to 'how that the pie ntiff haul any reasonable grounds of complaint. It was proved that Mi sirs. Kenny, Payne, and Soane were the authors of the songs in question, and that they fur a certain consideration sold their inter, st in the copyright to Mr. Cumberland, the publisher of " Cumberland's British Drama ;" mid it was contended for the defendant that he purchased the songs with the melody attached from Mears. Goulding and D'Almaine, and • deed was put in to show that they had a right to sell the melodies, inasmuch as the composers, Sir U. Bishop and Mr. Braham, who appeared as witnesses, granted the copyright in them to Mears. Goulding and D'Almaine. Air. Serjeant Channell appeared for the plaintiff, end • Mr. Serjeant Talfourd for the defandant.—Mr. Justice Williams, in summing up, laid ant co th uld at as there was no evidence ti prove so that the de end possibly have known that the songs were im properly printed when he sold them the jury must find a general verdict for his, and that they would be only called' upon to decide one question which arose in the case. The plaintiff said that he was entitled to the right to print the words of each song together with the melodies, and the defendant contended that no such right belonged to him, and for this reason that although the general right to these songs and the publicati in of them may belong to the original writers of them, and to those to whom they assigned that right, yet that looking at the purpose for which they were written, the right to publish them together with the music did not belong to the plaintiff. The ques tion then for them to determine was, whether Messrs. Kenny, Payne, and Soane, when they furnished the words for the melodies, did so on the implied understanding that those who had the copyright of the melodies had a concur• rent right to publish the words with them.—The jury having retired for some time returned a verdict tor the plaintid gene rally, but as regarded the right to the publication of the words of the wigs that right was vested in Messrs. Kenny and Payne, who were the authors, but net Mr. Solute, who was paid a salary by the manager for writing the libretto in " Der Freischun." COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commßeimer Ustalbum CASE or RECKLESS TRAPINE.—Chaplin and Chaplin, tanners, of Bishop's Stortford, applied for their certificates Mr. Lavergne. , supported the application, which was opposed by Mr. Blaekmore, one of the assignees, in i.erson, on the ground of reckless trading and improvident expenditure. Their belancesheet extended over a period of three years and nine moi.ths. They represecied themselves to have commenced business with • capital of 4,0001. ; they had made a loss of 19,2781. ; had incurred debts sad liabilities amounting to 57,9361, of which 44,8091. was secured by pro perty estimated to produce 16.7081. ; and showed • profit of only 4241. The assets, in debts and property, wt re esti mated to produce 7,0531. ; their expense* had been 2,8021. 10s., exclusive of a sum of 6,7241. for interest; Frederick Chaplin had drawn out 2.9241., and William Henry Chaplin 2,8021. The bankrupts wets also charged with in ducing a m n named Pinder, likewise a bankrupt, to accept I bills for them amounting to 5.0001., at • time when they were hopelessly insolvent, and knew Tinder to be so. Oeting to no professional man appearing for the opposition, the pro. ceedii.g was very irregularly c4nducted, so much so u to call forth repeated complaint from the commissi..ner—After hearing Mr. Lawrence for the hanktupts, his Honour mid he should reserve his decision till he had bad an opportunity of going tat...folly through all the figures at leisure. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COLTT.—(Beibn Chief Justice Wilde.) THE TRIALS FOR SEDITION. Francis Looney was arraigned on an indictment charging him with two m 'demeanors, on the lith of June. In this case, which was repoted on Saturday, the jury, after deliberating for more than an hour, returned a ♦erdict of Guilty. The Attorney.Cieneral expressed his intention of not pro ceeding with the other charge against the prisoner. Sentence was deferred, and the Court then adjourned. NEW COURT.—Before Mr. Baron Parke. FORGERY.—James 11. Bradbury and John Clark were indicted for forging and uttering two banker's cheques for the several sums of 4341. 16s. and 3711. 75. 4d., with intent to defraud Sir W. Lubbock, Bart., and Co., the banker'.-- The prisoner Bradbury pleaded guilty, and there were also two other charges aga . rist him for obtaining tho sums of 3001. and 3741. 7s. by similar means. Mr. Bodkin, in stating the case to the jury, said the plan adopted by the prisonen proved a deep laid scheme, and although the sums laid in the indictment were the only ones at present discovered, there was no doubt but others to an equally large amount had been remised. It appeared that the prisoners having obtained a genuine elliages from the house of Messrs. Hawes and Son (sad by whom the cheques in question were purported to be signed), had got a plate engraved to imitate it, and also a similar description of paper for printing on, and it was m well done that nothing but a previous knowledge of the Cot would have led to the detection of the fraud. The plan adopted for uttering the two cheques in question was this. Two young men, gentlemen's servants, named Joseph Thornet and John Newborn, having advertised in the Times for situation', received communications, the result of which was that both of them, on the 22d of April, at different periods in the day, met the prisoner Bradbury at the But' India-chambers, end subsequent:) , at the Commercial. rooms, Mincing-lane, where ho proposed engaging them to enter the service et a gentleman who was not then present. From the manner in which he went in and about the offices in the ' sale rooms, they both imagined be had chambers there, I and was one of the gentlemen belonging to the place, and upon asking them it they would tnke tl.e cheques In question (which were carefully put into a banker's cheque book) to the benking.house,they had not the least hesitation, and did so, receiving the money which they handed over to hint, and be gave theme trifle for their trouble, appointing Sonnet them the same afternoon—Thornet at Charing-cross at four, and Newborn, at Hatchard',. ,s Piccadilly, at half past, when the gentlemen were to be present to engage them. When Thornet was on his road from the sale rooms to the banking-house, having inquired of some one the way, Clark came up and offend to show him, and when he came out asked him if it was all right, keepir.g him in sight until they came near the sale Tooth& when he said he had business of his own end ran on helm him. Shortly after this trans action, acsbmsu took up the two prisoners in Leadenhall street, and drove them to Charin7•noss and also to Hatchard's, where be saw Bradbury meet Newborn ; Clark bad got out near Charing-cross. Bradbury then appointed Newborn to meet him again some future day u the gentle man was not there, and telling him to consider be was engaged, gave him a half-sovereign to live upon. He then re turned to Charing.crou and dismissed Thornet, with the same story. Newborn, thinking there was something strange about it, took the number of the cab ; and Thornet not meeting Bradbury on the day appanted, went to Messrs. Lubbocks,and haring explained the affair, they discovered the forgery, The particulars of the forgery hiving been adver tised, Newborn came forward, and handbills with the num bers of the notes paid tor the cheque* and the particulars were sent on the continent. A few days afterward', inform ' ation win received that two Englishmen had been appre hended by the commissary of police at the Brussels station for not having proper passports, and the account they gave of themselves being very unsatisfactory, they were searched, and sewn inside of the shirts neat the skin were found nearly all the notes that had been paid for the cheques. John Forrester was then sent over, and brought the two prisoners back; and when in custody they were seen by the witnesses Thornet and Newborn, who at once identified them. When at Brussels, Clark wore false whbkers and moustachios, and was otherwise disguised. Evidence was adduced to support the statement. Mr. Baron Parke having summed up, the jury immediately returned a verdict of guilly, and the sieoners were sentenced to transportation for 20 years. PORT-MICE ROVIDEUT.— Wm. BOtTett, & letter carrier in the General Post-office, who last s ession pleaded guilty, was brought up for judgment—Mr. Baron Parke having looked over the depositions, told the prisoner that persons like him must not expect mercy when they broke the high public trust reposed in them. There were two indictments, one for stealing a letter containing a note for 341., as far tack as Sept. lest, and another for stealing half a gon e r:an June • and the things found upon searching his 1 proved that these two were not the only robberies of a nature that be bad committed. Per the first armee be would be kepi. bogged and kept to hard labour for one year, and at the end Wu of that be transported for the Um sigma yews. left the court. Mr. Harris. _ POLICE.—SATURDAY. MANSION-HOUSE. —Derecteo GOLD COIN.— MI. Steers, of the f -reastiesea-cffice of the Custom-house, was summoned before the Lord Mayor by Mr. Edward Keymer far defecting several of the Queen's current geld coin. The gold wasf o ror eed, and exantined by t he Lord Ma y or. It Was we in the revenue scales, and it was evidently much de eient in weight, nitheegh it had not, in the case of any one piece of money, the appearance of having had more than reasonable weer.—The Lord Mayor said it appeared to him that the only question as to the defacing of the coin, to justify such a course upon the part of the revenue authori ties was, whether the weight was dime:tithed by reasonable of heasdidebreeettor.ber,ttbedattoif,uthne seaucuh u mooing t s h w e e ac at t ine he e e° ' d w u e e ar. m T e. he , m , facing it. He was convinced the spirit of the set applied to party to whom the money was offered was justified in de the diminution of the weight by unfair means, and not to the deficiency arising inevitable from the wearing produced by use.—Mr. Potbury, for the defence, sleet the defendant in cutting the coin had steed in exact conformity to the pro clamation which appeared in the Gazette of Oct. 3, 1843, subsequently to the pawing of that act. That preclamation I represented that although under the proclamation of June 3, 1642, a large amount of the vole coin of the realm Weared to be deficient in weight, her Majesty commanded that every subject, particularly the collectors and receivers of the revenue. should strictly conform to the orders and regulations in the act, to cut. break, and deface such pieces of the said gold coin as were Lund deficient in weight. The Lord Mayor said he could not help thinking that the cutting and defacing so ordered was vexetious and unfair and alto gether unnecessary in Meg lite the present, in which it appeared to him that no unfair means had been resorted to to diminish the weight.—Mr. Potbury said the ord. re issued we re peremptory.—Thecumplainant begged to be allowed to state that he had had two of the sovereignsweighedbv Messrs. Carter, of Cornhill, who assured him that any deficiency which might be in them might have been produced by the heavy shears with which they had been clipped.—The Lord Mayor: Well, I cannot go further in this ; the summons is dismissed. Even if it were proved that the gold was i.ot deficient in weight, the act does not Rise um the power to inflict a penalty. I cannot however dismiss the case without repeating my observation, that it seems to me to be unfair and vexatious to deface in this way money, the deficiency of the weight of which does not appear to be occasioned by any but reasonable wear. BOW-STREET. ALLEGED BORAS-STEALING. T. Hamlin was charged with stealing a horse, the property of Thos. O'Brien.—The prosecutor lent his horse to a man in whose house in Fitzroy-market the prisoner lodged, for the purpose of drawicg home a load of coals, and having coin pleted.his work, he and the prisoner brought back the horse and left him in the stable, the prosecutor bo.ng absent at the time. In the course of tne day the prisoner returned to the stable, end taking the horse frem the stall drove him to Smithfield, where he offered him for sale. A friend of the prosecutor having recognised the animal, made a com munication to the police, who took it in charge until the owner could be found.—lnspector Black informed the ma gistrate that the prisoner had lately returned from trans portation, and had since plundered he lather and mother of all the money they possessed, for which they declined to proceed against him, end since that time be bad been rim pestedly in custody for burglaries in publicenouses, and other offences, fur which he bad suffered punishment in a SSW mary manner.—A constable of the S division proved that ho was in search of the prisoner upon other charges when the man who bad borrowed the horse gave Lim into custody.— Mr. Jardine ordered him to be remanded. RAILWAY ROBBEIty.—Mr. Justin, accompanied by the Superintendent of the Great Western Railway, applied under the 27th section of the Police Act, that a summons , might issue against a pawnbroker, carrying on business in Holborn, calling upon him to show cause why be refused to deliver up a number of silver spoons and other articles of plate, which had been stolen from the terminus of the rail way by &solicitor, who had been tried and convicted of other felonies at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court. — The application was immediately granted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Cneitou Or FitACD.— D, Wake, holding a commission in the Eget India Com pany's service, was charged with having sant , laplated a fraud, on a large scale, on Messrs. Hunt and itoskell, silver &mites, Bond-street, and having committed frauds on other parties. The prisoner was also charged with having at tempted to utter several forged bills of exchange, purporting I to have beeu drawn by the Mesa Committee of the 28th reset. of Bengal Native Infantry. The first charge was for obtain ing from Messrs. Hunt a. ri Co. a set of turquoise shirt and waistcoat buttons, value 101., %leder fate and fraudulent pre tencee.--Charles Poulton, cashier to Menus. Hunt and Co., said, on Thursday last the prisoner came into their ware house in Bond-street, and gave an order for a service of plate value 9001 , which he said was for the officers ot the 28th Bengal Native Infantry, and which lie proposed to pay fur by a bill for 12,500 rupees, drawn in hie favour by the meal officer of the regiment. The bill in question purported to be signed by the president of tLe mesa committee, and witness having received a letter advising him on the subject a few days back, had not the least suspicion that fraud was contemplated. The ser vice of plate was to some to about 9,000 rupees, and the balance, 3,100 rupees, was to be handed over to the prisoner. The prisoner 'eked to look at some turquoise eh art-studs and buttons. lie chose a set which came to 101., banded witness the bill now produced fer 12,500 rupees, and left the shop, taking the studs and buttons with him. Withers made ie. quiries in the City, and ascertained that the bill was a forgery. Police constable Checkley found a large number of pawnbrokeis duplicates at the prisoner's lodgings in Tavistock-street. Witness also found 60 soy. reigns in the prisoner's pomession, and a letter, which proved he had re ceived 1341. from a firm in Fenchurch.street, on a spurious bill. The prisoner's groom made his appearance, end said he had received no wages from his muter, whom he thought a man of largo fortune. Mr. Bingham ordered the groom's wages ice be paid out of the money taken from the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded. ITALIAN BEOUARS.—An Italian beggar lad was brought to this court on Friday, havicg been found in Oro,. venor-square in a state of starvation and fear.—From the statement of the led it appeared that his padrone had turned him out of doors two days ago, because he was unable to bring home money enough by begging. The padrone had declared he would kill him if he came back without money. Being in great bodily fear he had wandered about the streets two days and nights, and had not tasted food, being unable to make himself unlerstood from not speaking a word of English. The lad said another boy, who was with the same reckons, was now in the hespital in consequence cf the ill usage he had received from the padrone.—Mr. Bing ham directed that the lad should have a good meal given him, and that he should receive abetter for the present in the workhouse. In the meantime be would send a summons to procure the attendance of the master, though he feared the defective character of the law would prevent him from doing substantial justice. WESTMINSTER.—CAUTION TO TURNKEYS.—John Birket, warder in the Millbank Penitentiary, was charged with conveying a letter from a person confined in that gaol, and taking wine, spirits, and tobacco into the prisoners, contrary to the prison regulations.—Mr. Williams, inspector of prisons for the home district, stated that defendant had been acting warder at the prison, but having been brought before him for taking a letter out from one of the convicts, and bringing wine, spirits, and tobacco into other prisoners, he (Mr. Williams) and his colleague, Mr. Perry, had dis missed the defendant, and had considered it their duty to bring him before a magistrate. The defendant had hitherto borne a very good character in the prison, and as he had never beeu guilty of evasion or denial of the offence they did not press for a severe punishment, but still thought it necessary that some example should be made with a view to protect the public, and deter others from t he commission' of a like offence. They felt it their p ainful dut y to come I forward in this csse, as the warders took money from the friends of prisoners under pretence of providing thiags for them for which there was no necessity, as the govern. ment provided amply, and then put it in their own pocket. —The defendant admitted his guilc—Mr. Burrell, owing to the recommendation to mercy, committed the denndant for ten dale only, and without har,l labour. SOCTUWARIL—CSVELTT TO • CHILD.—B. Smith was charged with cruelly ill-treating George Paget, a child ' three years old. The grandmother of the child stated that for some time the prisoner had been in the habit of beating the child in an unmerciful manner during the absence of his mother. The cries of the boy . attracted the notice of the e seighbours. On Saturday morning she was at her daughter's le house, when she heard the child scream dreadfully. She n proceeded to the back of the house, and perceived the pri soner beating the child with a large stick. She took him k away from the brute, and found the whole of his back and a loins covered with large bruises, which were black and blue. 11 She took him to the police station, and showed the inspector on duty the violence inflicted by the prisoner, when a warrant e was granted, and the prisoner apprehended.—in answer to I + i the magistrate the child said that he suffered much from the I i . ! floggings, and could hardly stoop or lie down.—Baker, 73 M, the officer who apprehended the prisoner, sail, when be told : him what he wanted him for, he exclaimed that t he boy was I! very dirty, and that was the reason he beat him.—The ma• gistrate said he should me the heaviest pun shment he could It inflict, by sentencing the prisoner to pay a fine of 51., or to le be imprisoned six months. ll Arvistrau AIt:RDER IN A WORICIIOI - BE.—Three fem ales, 114 named Merritt, Byrne, and Crown, who have frequently bee n f,o, in custody for their violent conduct in Bermondsey workhouse, V were charged with a:tempting to murder Mary M'Aller, one of the ward-keepern—Complainant, whose face was much dsegured, said that on the previous morning she was directed to proceed to the prism:en' ward and remove some work. As soon as she arrived in the mid&e of the ward, Merritt rushed upou her and struck her a tremendous blow on the mouth, cutting her lie and knocking several of her j, teeth out. Before she could recover herself eke was again it struck and knocked down, when Byrne came up to her and s truck her. She called out " Now we will do for you," and e the other prisoner then came up and fell upon her. She called out for assistance, and had not the officer of the work- 4 house been in the way she must have beea murdered. They t had a spite against her because she attended as a witness against Cronin at the sessions.—The prisoners said they were I treated wane than the worst of criminals in the workhouse, , and that the complainant called them orprobrious names be- i fore they struck her.—Mr. Seeker sentenced them to two : months' hard labour in the House of Correction. ALLEGED Itonuctiv OF SWEEPSTAKE TICEETS.-11"Order and Lipshans, charged with being concerned in defrauding Mr. Harris, the landlord of the Equestrian, in the Black frian'-road, of sweepstake tickets, were re-examined. Mr. Games, who attended for the defendants, said the complain ant had not indicted hie clients at the present Old Bailey sessions, and as the grand jury were discharged he con sidered the defendants entitled to be discharged —Mr. Hip pos, who attended for Mr. Harris, said they had certainly neglected to go before the grand jury, but still the charge was not abandoned. He therefore objected to Mr. Games' application. lie admitted that, at priests', there was no fur ther evidenee against the defendanu.—Mr. Seeker then said he should discharge them from Shear rooosissaoss ; sod if to implicate the -The partite then - - - Af ONB Y MARKET.

To-day the Bank commenced paying upon dividend warrents to the public, as yesterday to the banks. The purchasers of stock at the high rates lately ruling are waiting now with a certain anxiety the effect which may be produced upon the market by the outflow of the dividends. The greater or less amount of these which shall be directed to reinvestment in the funds must in a certain degree influence, if not determine, the course of prices for some time to come. Opinion generally does not con template, however, any material reduction upon the present quotations, which, as compared with the highest rates of the week, exhibit already a rather marked decline. But neither, on the other hand, is it supposed that rates much higher than those now ruling would be submitted to gene rally by dividend recipients of the more weighty class. It may be in some sort obligatory upon the adminis trators of the funds in Chancery and Bankruptcy to re-invest witht all convenient despatch, without refer ence to more than the market price of the day. and it would be manifestly inexpedient to leave them with any particular latitude of discretion in the mat ter; and so also, it may be said, of trust funds in general. In such cases, as with the smaller class of annuitants having surplus income to put out, to whom mall per centage differences of price cannot be of consideration in view of time and trouble to be saved by prompt action, the dividends received on one day, or such portion as may be so destined, may be laid out within a few days following. With the Bank of England, and other great corpora. tions, such as the leading insurance companies, and the banking and other capitalists, with massy sums to:receive, the case is different. They can afford to wait their time should the prices of stock be raised upon them in anticipation, or otherwise be deemed too high, as measured by the rate of interest, rela tively with the value of other unquestionable secure tics. They have the wide field of the general money and security market to range in, and select therefrom for investment such instruments of value i as should present the most satisfactory conditions of safety and superior profit. Such, indeed, is, as it ought to be, their usual course of action, as it is the true economic policy not to adventure funds upon one only issue, but upon an average of various safe interest-bee ring documents. The dealings in foreign stocks presented no feature of interest, and were of very limited extent with little variation in prices.

The payment of dividends is already adding to the redundance of unemployed capital in the market. The leading discount houses have been returning funds deposited with them by banks and individuals at 2; per cent. on call, from the impossibility of em ploying them to adequate advantage, and from being over-supplied besides in addition to their own capitals. The rates of discount nominally only now at 3 per cent. for first class paper, but with instances of less being taken, will probably fall below that rate as the general rule, and moneys be taken by the discount houses only on call, or for given periods, at a consi derable reduction of the rates lately paid for them. ' We learn from Dublin that Mr. John L. Cochrane, who for several years has filled the office of inspector of branch banks in Ireland under the National Bank, has ceased to be connected with that establishment.
