The silence of the government organ last night was, d priori, a confirmation of the judicious policy of the Earl of Clarendon, and the con federates are at liberty to repeat their insurrection ary doses to-night. An att 'mpt has been made in Dundalk to organise the pots tent party in aid of the government. Lord Roden's tenantry were summoned together, but dis cord met in before the plan was fairly developed, and the meeting dissolved without the organisation of the Roden volunteers. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE THE REPEALERS Op LlYERPOOL.—Yeeterday after noon a crowded meeting of the repealer* of Liverpeol was held at the Concert-hall, to hear addresses from alr. J. H. Dunne and Mr. M. It. Layne, of Conciliation-ball. There were upwards of 2,000 person* present. A petition to the Queen was adopted amidst the most vociferous applause, prayingprg her Majesty to assemble immediately in Dublin an ouse of Lords and Commons. A MEETING Op TRADE DELEGATES took place, at Manchester, on Wednesday, to consider the question of local and national organisation of trades , an d t he leading political questions affecting the well-being of trade r d the classes dependent on it. The meeting was attended by 60do1egates represen ting 26 trades, or branches of trades, and 6,000 operative, being members of the etch ties or unions in such trades,—Mr. Parker, • delegate from the tailors, Ives called to the chair, and announced the following as thepropoeitions which the committee had decided upon laying before the meeting : 1. Limitation of the hours of labour in all departments of industry. 2. sanitary regulations of a general and comprehensive character. d. Abolition of the middle-man ilium, via., ° undertaker., squeezers. *molten, Ac., ke." 4. The establishment of a 'immanentborou ind.trial board of trade, with local boards in all cities,. towns, or ghs. I. Abolition of the lass of entail and primog eniture. G. Application of crown and ...te lambi, by government grants, for the obeorption su rplus labour. 7. Abolition of property q pvinkal ualification for civil sod representatives. 0. A national system of education, ffrelle front sectarian and political prejudice. 11. The necessiiy of a u, free, and complete representation of the entire people in the commons house of parliament The first proposition was " the limitation of the hours of labour." He (the chairman) thought ten hours per day quite sufficient, and quite as much as a man ought to un dergo, leaving him time for mental cultivation and recrea tion. Besides, it would have • beneficial tendency as lessen ing competition. The proposition as regarded sanitary regu lations, m asses, hops especially, and in the habitations of the working cl was necessary, inasmuch as low wages had driven men to seek their habitations in unhealthy and con fined situations—in alleys, courts and even cellars. What they desired was, to have clean and well-ventilated work shops and habitable homes. The middleman system, sail prly known as sweaters, wan the next question—it was • system fraught with frightful evils. It had Teen the curse and bane of Ireland.-.it had been the destruc tion of many trades in England ; the tailor', hand-loom weavers shoemakers, and others parti cu l ar ly. lie could prove th at' it was dangerous and of bad effect to his own trade, and to the hand loom weaver the effects were of the most awful character. The establishment of a permanent board of trade in connexion with local ho speaksrds, tit hey consi dered absolutely necessary and he could to himself, inumuch KS lately, during the last IS months in fact, he had been employed to arbitrate and mediate between employers end employed, where differences had arisen, and their expe rience showed such a system to be more and more desirable, bat upon a different plan. They had tried to prevent strikes wherever they could, knowing the losses it occasioned, both to masters and men; but in nine cases out of ten their attempts had failed, for various reasons. The prin cipal cause of failure was, that masters refused their media tion, and termed it dictation. In most cases it endid in nothing useful, and therefore it was that they thought that the legi , lature should step in that a board ot trade should be appoiated, consisting of a cer tain number of working men and a certain number of masters. and that all cases of dispute should be submitted to them, and that they should be armed with the authority of the law to make both parties submit to it. The next ques tion was the abolition of the law of entail and primogeniture. They thought the land should be se free for sale as any other commity. The next proposition was that with reference to the g o ra d nts of waste lands. During the last ten years there had been levied for the relief of the poor 66,000,0001. ster ling, or nearly 7,000,0001. per , annum, and he contended that had the greater portion of this amount been expended for re productive purposes in this way, they should nut have been in the adverse circumstances they now were. In regard to qualifications for civil and political offices, they thought that merit and good citizenship ought to be the test; and with regard to education they thought the state should place education within the reach of the children of the poor, free from sectarianism and party prejudice. With reference to the last proposition—"a full, fair, and free representation "—he thought it desirable to say that the provisional committee who drew up this proposition agreed with him that it ought to have as its basis universal suffrage, ann ual parliament., no property qualification, payment of members, equal electoral districts, and vote by ballot—in other words, the six points embraced in the people's charter. (Applause.) Whether labourers interfered with politics or not, politics interfered with them and with thew labour. Was not capital represented by the legislature , (Hear.) We had railway Interest, and the moneyed interest, and the landed interest represented very extensively ; and he contended that if capital was to be represented in the House of Commons, labour, its parent, had at all events an equal right to the same principle. (Applause.) When he saw an extraneous value given to capital in the legis lature, and protection in all shapes given to it, he denied the dogma of the political economists that the legislature ought not to interfere for the protection of labour. The shopkeeper as well as the labourer had a deep interest in this question. lie wished that the movement Should extend all over Lar cashire and Yorkshire, and to the metropolis. The men of London had now connected the political with the social questions. They had cried out " No politics " till they found that" nu politics" had nearly led to "now ages," and they now found, that they must grapple with the whole question. He called upon this meeting to grapple with it in like man ner, and to be prepared by next Monday to embody their views and lay them before the gove rn ment—by Monday at the latest. He also thought they should be prepared as soon as pos sible with statistical matter to lay before the goverument,so that they might not legislate in the dark. It was said that the people were too ignorant to be safely enfranchised, but he contended that they could not, at all evens, have brought things into n worse state than the pretended elite and most enlightened parties who now had that power. He pointed to the dis tress and misery which existed, and said one mode which they (the trades) proposed as a remedy was to remove the I surplus labour, and employ it on the land, instead as of spend-1 ing 6,000,0001. • year to keep men in idleness, paupers.l The earnings of these men would, at all evens, be amply' sufficient to keep them, and bring more money into the tills of the shopkeepers. He condemned the course at present pursuing by the authorities, In swearing in so many thou sand special constables, as creating unnecessary alarm, and said the time was come for the people to unite and tell the whip to carry, out their former professions for the benefit a nd amelioration of the condition of the working classes. The meeting then proceeded to the discussion of the propo sitions seriatim (" and," says a correspondent, " a good deal of business-tact and order was exhibited in the management of the motions"). In reference to the last proposition, it was determined that the people's charter should be adopted, name and all, many of the delegates declaring that the pro bability of such a motion had been contemplated by their constituents , the unions which had sent them, and they had been authorised in that case to vote for it. There was only one of the fifty delegates against it, and he only objected to the name. The repeal of the union was also added. The meeting was adjourned till Monday, a committee being ap pointed to arrange the business for that meeting in the meantime. The committee she were authorised to prepare a petition to parliament, to be signed by the chairman, in favour of all the propositions, _and which is to be presented to the House of Commons on Monday. In the course of the discussion on the limitation of the hours of labour, several delegates declared that the Ten Hour Bill had failed tn its effect, many of the mills running now 14 hour a day. SUSSEX. THE ELECTION AT RYE excited very little interest in the town, there being no contest. The so of the late member, Mr. Cartel', was proposed by Mr. S. B. Brocket, and seconded by Mr. ' F. Langford. There being no other candidate, Mr. Curteis was declared duly elected. The new member, in returning thanks, said :—Wi.h regard to his political opinions, he should support the measures of the pre sent government generally, whose opinions seemed most in accordance with his own, and which set med to him calcu lated to do good to the country at large. He should not , make any pledges, but act in an independent manner. Some of I THE CHARTIST CONVENTION. The "National Convention of the Industrie, Classes " reassembled yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, at the Scientific and Litzrary Institution, John-street, Fitzroy square, for the further despatch of business. Mr. M'Orath again occupied the chair, an Mr. Doyle reeumed his post as secretary. The government short-hand writers were again in attendance, and the galleries were so densely crowded with auditors, that it became necessary in the course of the day _to admit them into the ho d ] , of the hall. Mr. ILTDD moved, and Mr. FUSSELL seconded, the issuing el an address or manifesto by the convention to the people of Great Britain and Ireland, and particularly to her Majesty's ministers, for the purpose of laying before them the informa tion derived from the delegates relative to the miserable and disguised condition of the working classes of this country. After a short conversation the motion was agreed to, and a comm ittee appointed todraw up the address. On the motion of Mr. F SAUGUS O'CONNOR, M.P., a petition was ordered to be presented that evening from the members of the convention, in support of Mr. O'Connor's motion for the restoration of Frost, Williams, and Jones, and all political offenders now in custody. Mr. CUPPAT, as chairman of the committee for managing the intended procession on Monday next, announced that the arrangements were all complete for that ceremonial. Mr. F. O'CoNeion stated that, on Saturday evening them would arrive at the Great Western Railway station, at Pad dington, from the estate of the National Land Company, two care, capable of conveying the monster petition and the whole body of delegates in the procession, so that the annoy ince experienced on a former occasion, by the petition being ' carried on the shoulders of 16 men, like so many slaves, would be remedied. At the same time there would also arrive 12 horses to draw the carriages, which, he believed, would reflect great credit upon the constructors, the men of the National Land Company. Mr. Waseten moved that an address oe issued to the shopkeepers of London, stating the determination of the conv ention to cause property to be respected on our line of IRELAND. route, and that we have no idea of corning into collision with the authorities, but we ri commend that they close their DUBLIN, APRIL 5. shops as • precautionary m weave during the mocestion on The answer of De Lamartine to the Smith O'Brien Monday next. deputation in Paris was received to-day.

He (the commissioner) was glad the matter had been arranged. —lt was understood that, upon those creditors who held security assenting to the application, the petition would be dismissed. • ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. An annual general meeting was h e ld yesterday at th s London Tavern. Mr. Colville presided. The report of the directors was to the following effect Since the last general meeting was held, an anangedirect ment has been made, giving to the Wes: India colonies a monthly postal communication with the northern state. of America, which the company's operations ate xtended to New York; and this new line via Bermuda, will be commenced on the 7th of next month ' . The company, how ever, are at liberty to di.oontinue this branch of service, should it be found hereafter that, contrary to expectation, it cannot be maintained with advantage. The directors, having taken into cons;deration all the circumstances o f the company, recommend that • dividend of two pounds per share, exclusive of income tax, be declared ; the same to be payable on and after the 10th instant. The working account showed that 412.0621. 7s. Bd. had been received during the year. and 300,661!. 18s. 10d. di.bursed, leaving a balance of 112,3001. Bs. 10d.

Ifs. 2d. ; 3a. rdd.eserve fund, 70,6191. 169 . 6 d.; p rofit and lots, 74,018/. 1" On the motion being put for the adoption of the report, Mr. RIDGWAY observed that, considering the increase of 27,0001. which had takes place in the income of the company doting the period from 184.5 to 1847, and the larg e sing t reserve and insurance funds at their disposal, it was surprihat the shares sho'ald be iu so depressed a state in the market. He attributed the want of confidence of the public to the smallness of the dividend paid. He was glad to see that there was a slight addition to the amount of their present dividend, but considered that it might be materially Incensed. It was not right that the shareholders who had supported the company from the com mencement should only receive the same rate of interest as those who had purchased. recently in the market. It wa. said th if they aid • large dividend the government would not at be dispose p d to renew their connect ; but he would maintain that the overnment could not do without their assistance, which, es pecial.y in the event of a war, would be of a meet valuable description. With reference to the ma nagement of the company, he complained that there was not sufficient attention paid to the es. tablishment of • prompt and constant communica tion with our possessions in the West Indies, an object which he considered ef far higher 'mpor. twice than going to the United States. lie concluded by moving an amendment to that nen of the report t i re lated to the dividend, by proposing that it be raised to 21. 6s. per share. The CHAIRMAN observed that the directors, looking upon all the circumstances, had recommended the dividend, which they conceived moat conducive to the interests of the com pany. The hon. proprietor had probably forgotten that the contract was for a limited period, and that it was neces sary to preserve the accounts in such • condition as to provide for the contingency of its not being renewed. If they did not do so they would, as directors, be eztremily blamed for dividing the money s uableuing the proprie- the tors to believe their property as val at the end of contract as at the beguming. The amendment not being seconded fell to the ground, and the report was adopted without dissent. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a proprietor, with regard to the sum of 2,8501. which appeared among the disbursements of the working account, under 'he head of "managers, is eluding the secretary and colonial superintendent," ',tam] that Capt. Mangles and Capt. Chappell each received 1,0301. annually from that amount, and Capt. List, inclusive of his eatery as director, received the same sum. They were ne cessary expellees, and were well merited by the services of the respective gentlemen. Capt. MANGLES observed that if the proprietors believed they could get the same services nerformed for less money he was quite willing to surrender his trust. Mr. Masterman and Capt. Nelson, the retiring directors. were then re-elected; Mr. C. W. Short was elected to till the vacancy in the board caused by the resignation of Sir .1 Brown ; and Capt.

A placard, of which the following is a copy, was extensively posted throughout the metropolis last evening, by order of the commissioners of police : " NOTlCE.—Whereas the ass-mblage of large numbers of people, accompanied with circumstances tending to excite terror and alarm in the minds of her Majesty's subjects, is criminal and unlawful ; and whereas not only those persons who take an active part in such assemblage, but those also who by their presence wilfully countenance it, are acting contrary to law, and are liable to punishment ; and whereas an act of parliament, passed in the 13th year of the reign of kis late Majesty King Charles 11,, intieuled 'An Act against Tumults and Disorders, upon pretence of preparing or pre senting public Petitions or other Addresses to his Majesty in the Parliament,' it was enacted, that no person or persons whatsoever shall repair to his Majesty, or both or either of the houses of parliament, upfm pretence of presenting or delivering any petition, complaint, remonstrance, or declaration, or other addresses, accompan i e d with excessive numbers o f people, nor at any she time with above the num ber of ten ,persons; and whereas a meeting has been called to assemble on Monday next, the 10th inst., at Kennington common, and it is announced in the printed notices calling such meeting that it is intended by certain persons to repair thence in procession to the House of Commons, accompanied with excessive numbers of people, upon pretence of present ing a petition to the Commons House of Parliament ; and whereas information has been received that persons have been advised to procure arms and weapons, with the pur pose of carrying the same in such procession ; and whereas such proposed procession is calculated to ex:ite terror and alarm in the minds of her Majesty's subjects; all persons are hereby cautioned and strictly enjoined not to attend or take part in, or be present at, any such assemblage or pro eesoion. And all well-disposed persons are hereby galled upon and required to aid in enforcing the provisions of the law, and effectually to protect the public peace, and suppress any attempt at the disturbance thereof.—(Signed) C. Row AM, IL MAYNE, Commissioners of the Police of the Metropolis. Metropolitan Police-office , Whitehall-place, April 6." Mine any more &w it thertition be rejected on Monday, me 10th inst., but will declare Its nines permanent, with a clew to the adoption of the nemesaty measures to establish the People's Charter ee the law of the tan& Mr. CVFEAY seconded the amendment. He bad come to the conclusion that the tinse was gone by for memorial& He should accept the rejeetion of the petition as a declare Lion of war, and into that war he was ready to enter. (Rear, hear.) Mr. BRONTIERE O'BRIEN said, at the risk of some unpo nularity be must oppose both the programme and the amendment. If he thought the present convention was so constituted as to be espable of carrying out ulterior measures with the support of the country, he should concur in the amendment; but he contended this convention ha d been the o nly appointed for the s p ecial purpose of superinteng presentation of the petition ; and no authority had been de !egated to the members by the people to go further. lie wished a fall representation of all classes of the people in a great national assembly before any ulterior measures were adopted; and therefore he begged to propene se another amendment a resolution to the effect That this convention , representing se it does only a small seeth d e the industrious classes of thin country, can only be comairlered as this mecumr to the convocation of another and Mire impormin body to re ruby %gat, gedete t urrally.ti.andtib. do the no rvg e e r I liad esneentiont e o strictly legal and eowititutional one of superintending tie peeseßestioß of the national petition, and that it leave all oftener mesems to a national ansembly, which shall represent the country=s , he convoked at the earliest period that may be 1141111 that thio convention does further pledge noel( tore rimy awl conotitutional means in is power to promote the speedy and calling together of such national a setnbly. Mr. LOWRY (Carlisle) seconded the amendment weed by Mr. O'Brien, on the ground that his constituents when dry sent him never contemplated this convention being a pee . manent body. Mr. F. O'CoNNoa addressed the convention on the genie cat question of the prgramme submitted by the executive c.,mmittee, and in a long spessch urged his former arguments in favour of the charter_, declaring that be would rather die a martyr in the cater than live a slave. He'ded upon the I convention not to tic its bands by declaring fto be per. 1 manent, but to consent to the convocation of a national assembly elected with a view to its permanency nntil tlwr Airier was carried. for ore, would never shrink from the risk and responslity which , the movement had cut upon him. but he entreated them not to damage the great reuse now by interfering with the duties for which they had been specially appointed, but let a national assembly be con. ruked, and whatever the msjority of that assembly willed he was determined to carry out. (Loud cheers.) Mr. li. CHILD (London) said he had another amendment to the propesition of the executive to submit to the conven tion. llia amendment was— Mud this convention is called together in coneequencs of unpaid :Med distress—a distress brought on by circumstances such as never existed in any nmutry in the world before; that the great mem of the working clarets having no confience in w ho mole, and having seed together men of their aw n elms inhey have confidence, would feel that three men were neglecting their duty if they wasted their time at this the commeneementof their proceedingo upon a mat ter they cannot thnitibly know anything about until utter the pre- rentation of the national petition ; be it therefore resolved that the , further debate on the motion now under discussion be adjourned' until alter Monday the 10th blatant. This motion having been seconded by Mr. DONOVAN of Blanchester, Mr. TATTERSALL (Rochdale) moved, and Mr. LINNET, (Wrmingham) seconded, • further amendment Th., the convention eecommend the holding of eimultaneons meetings throughout the country on the 12th indent. to inte ronoiderrstion the decision of the Ilnum of Commons upon thenational petition, and to decide upon the future policy to be pursued by the convention. Mr. EuNEST JONES introduced and moved the adoption of a fifth amendment in the following terms: Be it resolved, that in the event of the national petition being TO- Waco by the lloum of Common', a memorial, to be adopted at simul. sumo. meetings of the people, obeli be addressed to the Queen, oemanding the dissolution pm, parliament and the diomissal of bee minbeeriol advieers ; and, further, that the mid oimultancoue meet. ings shall elect delegates to a new convention, inotruchd to ,It per. pre s ently until the charter is made the law of the land; and that the present convention continue sitting until the meeting of such rm. ' baud convention. Mr. CLARKE , (Bristol) seconded the hat-proposed amend ment. All these six several and distinct proposition' were then fully hemmed, and r alon g, a long, somewhat stormy, sad violent debate ensued, in the course of which almost every i delegate present declared his opinions upon each. The language used by some was el a pacificatory character, urging the enforcement of the chartist claims by the employ . ment of moral force only; while others boldly and nubs:44 tatingly " declared for war." The opinions as to the merits or demerits of each proposition wire various, but those of the executive council and of Mr. E. Jones seemed to be most generally popular. The discussion was protracted until the hour at which the convention adjourned for din ner. On its meeting again at halt put 2 o'clock, Mr. C. DoYLE, the secretary, suggested a further proposi tion to the effect that "the convention agree to the appoint ment of a:provisional enmmittee of thirteen from the delegates present, to remain in London to make arrangements for the meeting of the national assembly, and to take under their management the general affairs of the chartists up to that time. This would not only save expense. but would enable many delegates to agitate the country districts in the interim beteen tLe mretino of the national atsembly and the pre sentw time, This addendum to the original programme was strongly objected to by Mr. Coffey and others, and the gene ral debate was renewed with increased energy and vigour. It continued until the approach of the hour when the ad journment for the day had been fixed to take place, but it was put an end to by Mr. CLARKE announcing that an amalgamation of the two propositions—the one of the committee, and the other moved by Mr. Ernest Jones—had been effected, and he trusted would receive unanimous support. The programme, as agreed between the committee and Mr. Jones, would stand thus in its amended form: 1. That in the event of the aationd petition being rejected by the tit wee of Commons, that this convention prepare national mernosial to the Queen to dissolve the present paraament, and call to her coun cil ouch ministers only as will make the people's charter a cabinet measure. 2. That thin convention agree to the convocation of a national as sembly, to consist of delegates appointed at pub!ic meetings, and to remain sitting until the people's charter is the law of the land. 3. That this convention call upon the country to hold simulta neous meetings on Good Friday, April 21, for the purpow of adoPting the national memorial of die chartist delegates to the national assembly. 4. That the national assembly meet in London on Monday, April the 24, and 5. That the present convention shall continue to hold its sittings until the meeting of the national assembly. (Cheers.) lie moved the adoption of the amended pro- gramme. Mr. E. JONES said for the sake of unanimity he withdrew his amendment, and cordially seconded the motion of Mr. Clarke. All the other amendments having been withdrawn, the amended programme was put and agreed to,Mr.Cuffay alone being dissentient. —This result of the day's proceedings drew down long-c ,ntinued cheers from the vast mass which atthis moment tilled ey.ry corner of the building. Mr. E. JONES gave notice of his intention to-morrow (this day) to move the adoption by the convention of a tri-colour. (Renewed cheers.) The convention then (half -past 6 o'clock) adjourned to 9 o'clock to-morrow (this day). ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CTRCUlnT.—Livenroot, APRIL 6 Nisi liies Cover. BARTON, InLAM, AND 1:1100INSUN'S BANKRUPTCY, VANCASTEEL AND ANOTHER V. BOOKER AND OTHERS. This was an action arising out of the celebrated bankruptcy of Messrs. Barton, Irlam, and Higginson of this town. The plaintiffs in the case are Messrs. Vancasteel and Co., mer chants, of Rotterdam, and the defendants are the assignees under the fi at of bankrupt c y of Messrs. Higginson and assig nees ; and the action was brought to recover, under a bill of lading for coffee, upon a cargo for 5,500 and odd pounds, consigned by the plaintiffs toe Mr. Lyon, a merchant of this town. In the month of December last the plaintiffs received from Messrs. A. W. Lyon and Co. the bill of lading of the ship Vigilant, which had been handed ever to them by Barton, Irlam, and Higginsor, the owners of the ship and cargo, in consideration of certain bills of exchange given by Messrs. Lyons to Messrs. Iligginson. The cargo consisted of 5,090 bags of coffee from Rio to Cork, but, owing to stress of weather, the vessel was brought into the port of Liverpool. Upon the bill of lading the plaintiffs, at Messrs. Lyons' re quest, had forwarded drafts, which, with insurance upon the cargo, made a total advance of nearly 6,0001. Before the arrival of the Vigilant at Liverpool, on the 30th of No vember, Messrs. Barton, Irlam, and Iligginson became bank rupts, and on the Ist of Dec. the ship and cargo were seized in Liverpool by the assignees of the bankrupts, mid defend ' ants in the present action. It was arranged between the counsel on either side that in the event of a verdict for the plaintiffs the amount should be but for the 5,5001. odd. — Mr. Martin addressed the court for the defendants, and after going through the transactions of Messrs. Higginson and Co. with the Royal Bank, to which establishment at the time of their bankruptcy they were owing 463,00 11., de nounced the transaction relative to the bill of lading as giving a fraudulent preference to Messrs. Lyon, Messrs. Mil/Onion and Co. knowing of their insolvent state st the time. Witnesses for the defence, to establish a fraudulent preference on the part of Messrs. Barton, Irlam, and Rig.. gingen, were being examined when our report left Liverpool, and the ease, which had then been under trial for seven hours, was likely to continue for a considerable time. 7ENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.—Before tar. Justice Etle. PERSONATION AND FORORRY. Thomas Schuh, alias Bernard, 22, was indicted for having forged an indorsement to a bill, with intent to deiraud Lionel Nathan Roths child, and others. The prisoner, who is • native of Germany, lodged in 1845 at the house of one of his country men in eadman's-fields, and he there became acquainted with another young German, named Lawrence Wever, who was the half brother of his landlord. This young man it , appeared was entitled to some little property in his own coun try, amounting to about three hundred pounds, and it seemed ' that he had come to England for the purpose of pushing his fortune, an arrangement having been made with his friends 'that if he should find an opportunity of setting himself up in any business, or profitable occupation in England, his money I should be transmitted to him. Weyer, it appeared, subse quently resolved to leave England, and to go to America, and the prisoner was aware of his departure, which took place in August, 1847, and it seemed that he died in the United States soon after his arrival. The prisoner was aware of the circu ms t a nces of Weyer, and there appeared very little doubt that after the departure of hie friend be resolved to appropriate his patrimony to himself. He accordingly opened a correspondence with the step-father of Lawrence Waver, in Bavaria, and upon his representation that hewn, about' to setup in a profitable business the old man sent him one bill of exchange for 1001. upon Messrs. Rothschild and Co., which was paid in due course to the prisoner on , December 15. The correspondence was then kept up with the old man, and very soon afterwards the prisoner re-, quested that another bill for 1001. might be remitted to him, as he said he was about to be married, and had a good pros pect before him. By this time the death of Lawrence 'Never had become known, and upon his relations making • communication to the bankers, arrangements were made to detect the party who bad committed the first fraud. The prisoner continued to press the old man to send him the w and bill, and at length, in concurrence with the proper en- thorities, another bill for 1001. was transmitted in the regular , Benner by post, and on Jan. 31 the prisoner made hie ap- pearance at the banking-house of Messrs. Rothschild and , Co. and presented the bill for payment, representing himself las Lawrence Wever , and indorsed the bill by that 11111111. He was t a ken into custody, and while in durance Wheeled • letter to the landlord of his residence in which he requested him to destroy all the paper, that were in his room. This letter was banded over to the police, and on the prisoner's room being searched the correspondence that bad taken place between him and Waver's father was die- Covered and was now produced and given in evidence. These were the principal facts produced lutanist the prisoner, sod other circumstances which transpired left no doubt of his guilt.—The prisoner in his defence put in a written pa per, in which he stated that what he had done was through the instrumentality of another party, and that he had been an innocent agent in the transaction.—The jury found him 1 guilty, and he was sen tenced to be transported for 10 years. THE MURDEISOUS ASSAULT IN DUDLEY-STREET, ST. GILES'S.— H. Parker, 26, was indicted for wounding Eliza IBurgese, with intent to murder her.—The prosecutrix had cohabited with the prisoner, but they had separated. On the 19th Feb. he wished to remain all night with her, but het mother refused, and he stabbed them both. The details of the cue have been published more than once, and need not be repeated.—The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the capital offence of wounding with intent to murder.—There was another indictment against him for wounding the mother of the prosecutrix.—Mr. Justice Erie said he should take time to consider whether he would take the other in dictment against the prisoner, or whether he should order sentence of death to be recorded against him upon the one on which he had been convicted.

It was decided that this fraud was =raged in d a w ay that made it a debt , and the prisoner was ammitte but he was again tried u pon an indictment charging him I with breskims open the boa of Ann Dampen, waitress at a coffee-hou,e where he lodged, in Drury-lane, and stealing therefrom two half crowns and other coins, her property. la I this case the jury found the prisoner Guilty.—He was tried upon a third indictment, charging him with fraudulently 11 obtaining from Alexia Bennis Boyer, the well-known class nier, a sovereign. In this case the prisoner had represented himself as the editor of a defunct publication called the Par- liamentary Chronicle, and under that representation ob- j Mined from M. Soyer an order for insertion of an adverwith tise-1 tens in his paper; and he wa s entrusted by M. Soyer two sovereigns to get advertisements ins, rted in the Tinges' and the Dispatch. Re pretended to M. Boyer that one ef the sovereigns was a bad one, and M. Soyer gave him another.--Mr. Prenderged, on behalf of the prisoner, urged that his client had rendered service to his country—for he had been a patticipator in Ca p t. Parry's expedition, having been a surgeen in one of the vessels—The jury returned • verdict of Guilty.—The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for 18 calendar months ; telling him that lie had escaped transportation by not being convicted on the first indi•tmcnt.—There were four other indictments against the prisoner.

A morning journal, not necessary to name, but well known for its proneness to exaggeration in any matter conceived to be of public intereat, made a vigorous attempt to frighten the metropolis out of its propriety this morning by a formidable demonstra tion of the chartist powers that are to subvert the constitution and sack the capital on Monday next, from their battle-field on Kennington-common. Consols chanced to decline about the same time that the doom of the city and empire was thus being read, upon which it was at once assumed that the Journal had done it all." In the higher circles of the Stock Exchange parties were not so readily deceived. Public values are not, as is there known, so sensitively affected by anything short of matters of absolute fact. The immediate cause of the decline in Consols was the fact of money sales to the extent of 100,0001. being made by so important an operator as the Bank broker. The sales were generally supposed to be foe account of the savings banks, and such might pro bably be the case. It mast be noted, however, that the Bank has latterly been increasing its stock et government securities in the banking department, and may therefore possibly have been reselling some. It is, however, more probable that the sales were for savings banks account. Subsequently , the same broker purchased Reduced Threes, or Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., to the amount of about 12,0001., for Tuesday next, and various parcels of Exchequer Bills. It needs scarcely be stated that the operations of the Bank broker exercise at all times more influence upon the market than the trans actions of five-fold the amount done through any other channel, or for any other account. The result was, finally, that Consols declined to, and left off at, 80 to a for money and account, say 1 per cent. below the last prices of yesterday. Reduced Three per Cents., 781 to t ex dividend. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, 794 to 1 . ex dividend. Exchequer Bills, 395, to 43a. premium. India Bonds, lbs. to 235. premium. Long Annuities, 84 to ex dividend. Bank Stock, 184 to 6 ex dividend. There was the same indisposition still to deal in foreign stocks, and prices for the most part must be quoted as nominal, and without business. Mexican were called 141 to 1. Brazilian, 55 to 60. Spanish Fives, 91 to 101 ; the Threes, 17 to 18; Passive, 21 to a. Portuguese, 13 to 14. Duteh Two-and-a-Hall per Cents., 33 to 5 ; the Fours, 51 to 3 ex dividend. Some more failures were reported from Marseilles this morning ; but as these, and many other such fo reign casualties, do not affect commerce here, it is not necessary to give names. The returns of the revenue, for the quarter at least, have been rather an agreeable surprise to the stock market, when the gross totals only are looked to—and examination seldom is carried farther into particulars. The China money comes as a godsend to help defi ciency. It is clear, however, that upon such showing, and with such a condition of public deposits as was exhibited in the last Bank returns, the treasury should want no assistance from the Bank in the shape of advances on deficiency bills, to meet the payment of dividends on stocks now in progress. Papers from Santiago de Chili to the 22nd at January contain a government notice for paying oor the whole remaining portion of the internal Four par Cent, debt. At this present time Chili is the only state which is not only not adding to debt, but paying ' off steadily all its home and foreign obligations. 611811 cull DP. Bonk Stock, 1836 6to dlr. 3me Ct.
