confessed that be should never rest satisfied till he saw Ire land entirely separated fromEnoland. They had seen French boots and French fashion , introduced into the country, and they might live to see French revolutions imported. At all events, he thought if Ireland sought to fraternise with any country it should not be with a nation of slaves like this, but with a 111011011 of freemen —The second resolution, moved by Mr. J. Lush, and seconded by Mr. J. J. Finnian, asserted that the Act of Union had been • failure, increasing English taxes and Irish poverty.—Mr. O'Connor supported the reso lution in a speech of great length, which was frequently in terrupted by loud cheering—repeated his ofttold history of the means by which the union was brought about, abused the whig government, whose reporter he said had ac companied him from Leaden, to take back • report of his speech; and propounded his own scheme for the redemption both of Ireland and England. He said at present Irish labourers were carrying away 30,000,0001. annually of wages, which should go to the English labourers, and neither of them were advantaged by it, because the manufacturers used the former as to Is to compete with the lathe, and effect a reduction of their wages to the lowest possible amount. They had both an equal lot rest then in promoting a repeal of the union. But the English man, if the union were repealed, owing to the artificial sys tem which had crept into the labour market, having left biro no longer the means of benefiting to the full extent front kis capital, which was his labour, would not benefit by the repeal of the union alone ; it was for this reason that he wished to locate him upon the land, on his own labour field He bad sue fur revolutions. One was that which Ireland bad gained prior to the union and in obtaining which he ' and his uncle (as many a Whiteboy could tell if any were there) stopped at no obstacle to accomplish it up to the time they wire banished from that land. Another revolution win in tee passing nf the Emancipation Act. A third Wel the passing of the Reform Dill ; and a fourth the f ree mow sure. But all had alike disappointed the people ; and KIM for this reason that he urged upon the people not to be led again intoa struggle which sought only a political change with. out effecting any real,beneficia change in the social condition of the waking chimes. His remedy for Irish distress was to sell the property of the Irish church. The present holden had no just title to it, and let it be sold at thirty years' pur chase it would fetch 50,000,000 e Clive him this and he would locate half a million of Irish labourers upon it, than whom none were more industrious, which at five to the family would be a provision at once for 2,500,000 people. He then exhorted the people, both chartists and repealen, to sign the monster petition he was getting up to the House of Commons, and sign It with both bands, " that they might have a good grasp of their pens, and give it a good b old flourish." He called upon the chartists and repute re to unite, and not content with a simple promise sealed with cries of " yes," he literally exacted en oath from the vest meeting that it should he • real union or fraternisation, and no sham —The next resolution, proposed by Mr. Feeney. sad seconded by Mr. Henry Nuttal, called upon repealem to banish religious feuds and party differences as the ground for a solid union.—Mr. F. T. Meagher add/wed the meeting in support of the resolution, and after cones plaining that his motions were watched by government spies, and that a detective officer had accompanied him all the way from Dublin to Manchester, said the great meeting which was to have been held in Dublin that day had been postponed till Monday, when as sure as the sun should rise would be held, even though government proclamations should forbid it. The only chance of putting it down woo by • massacre, and ho should not be surprised at one. lie regretted that his friend Mr. Mitchell was not here, but im portant duty kept him in Dublin ; he should not be sur prised if he had already been arrested. It was a time when no one who could help it should be away from Ireland. In fact the whig government were playing the Austrian in the capital of Ireland, and were preparing to do •musacre ; how ever he should go back to Ireland to- ra orrow, prepared for what ever might happen—knowing that, as the English govt rnment bad planted a garrison in Ireland, it had, by its oppression here, planted a garrison in England. (Loud cheere.j He would go hack in this confidence, that if a foul act was done on that day, if a hand was stretched out to strike them, there would be bands stretched out to revenge them. (Ve hement chewing.) The appeal would not now be to the House of Lords. The time had gone by for appealing to inferior tribunals ; for everywhere upon this earth the sove reign people had assumed their sovereignty. (Loud cheers.)—The fourth resolution declared that the treachery of Irish members during the put or pre sent session, would not weaken their claims to leicii lat:ee independence; and Mr. Dohenny, in supporting this resolution, said they had hitherto much misunderstood English feeling towards Ireland till that night. They had thought the (cello's of the aristocracy was that of the people ; but they were mistaken, aud if what be had heard to-night was Onetime. he was a convert henceforth to the charter, and should go back to-morrow to danger in Ireland, and, with the support of the English people, they should go back to meet it exultingly. The terms of union which they of feted were these—lreland for the Irish, and England for the English. Should they have an union on those terms ? (Yes.) It was said that Michell would be arrested, and perhaps executed on a gibbet in Dublin. If Mitchell was injured, the gibbet must remain standing fur one after another of them. (Tremendous cheering.) Nay, more, before they hung him (Mitchell), they must eat cute the whole of them on the streets. (Great applause.) What ever blood he had was at the service of liberty, and he should glory te shed it in the constitutional fight (Cheers ) An address to the sovereign people of France was then adopted, expressing sympathy in their cause, calling upon them above all to be firm and consistent in their elections, at which foreign fraud and every attempt of tyranny would be made te mar the victory the people had so gloriously achieved, slid pledging the meeting individually not to be induced by any kingly craft or tyrant force to be induced to fight against the banner of freedom who wised by the people against the oppressor. —The resolutions and address were elk carried unanemously ; and Mr. O'Connor besought the people to go home quietly, declaring that no man who broke • window was worthy of the franchise. TRA PARTY OF CHARTISTS AND REPRALERS.— On Saturday night, the repellent had a public tea party, at the Town Hall, Manchester, which was, like the riveting of Friday, eumeroasly attended. !Several hundred persons' (all the room could accommodate) sitting down to tea first, and they giving way to new comers; and the tables being afterwards removed to afford sittiags for the whole company. The guests on the oceasion were, Mr. F. O'Connor, M.P., Mr. Dobenny, Mr. T. 'strop, and Mr. W. P. Roberts. Mr. Dena presided.—Mr. Meagher bad left Manchester, by the 12 o'clock train, for Liverpool, on his way to Dublin. The chairman proposed as the first toast, "The People—the source of all legitimate power." Mr. W. P. Roberta responded in a lengthy address, observing that it was one of the most democratic, and yet, one of the most true and rational sentiments that could he uttered It was one which men had been proud to utter in all couotriea tread all times; and yet, had it in all ages and countries been practically trampled upon and disregarded. (Hear, hear.) When be wan young, it was sometimes worshipped by the whigs is theory, (a laugh); but how had they treated it in practice it It was for the people themselves to elevate it to its true dignity. He contended that it was dire Poarded in all our institutions as in all our laws. le taxation it had been found, in all countries, that 0114 ootem was adopted towards the tax-payers and another t•wards the tax-eaters In this and all countries—except one, and that was France—politicel institutions were for the advantage of one class only. It was the same in France before the revolution ; but now another principle was to be adopted. It was said, as a ground for refusing the charter, that it would Iced to confusion and carnage; but in France that maestien bad been settled, and it was shown th a a go vernment springing from the people and for the people wee not the cause of confusion and carnage. He wished he could as much for our system of govertiment at home. He wished what was taking place in Dublin might not sh ow that other systems of government than that havi. g tie source in the people might lead to confusion and carnage. Ile was glad to hear that Sir George Grey bad sent a re porter here. And he understood the magistrates were un easy. But one thing he could tell them was that they bad no reason to be unessy as to the chartists. They had no objection to wing • little uneasiness in governing bodies, because it was a favourable prelude to • change. The obartista had found there was no necessity for their having recourse to any force but moral force—that of collect ing the people together, and addressing them in the language et calm end sober reason. The process might net work so rapidly as could be wished by some, but they would bide their time, and the example of ether nation. would not be in vein. But whatever other peoples er other nation, might do, suck courses were not neeeteary here. He trusted whenever the right time should come, God would give them good ram and tree to do his bidding.—The Chairman gave as the next toast "Civil and religious liberty all over the w ell, ana l msy the enemies of either be crushed and over. whelmed."—Mr. Finnigan responded.—The third test was " O'Connor—the veteran survivor of the perils of 1798 ''— Mr. O'Connor responded sod said he found the people a rope of send ; they were now a rock of adamant. There was no greater truth than that which Mr. Roberts had uttered, that there had been no political changes of the many propounded hitherto, out of which any social ad vantage bad sprung for the people. They had been de graded, robbed, and starved, while nature's breast was full of milk for Or in, if they were only allowed to partake of it. It was for that reason he had introduced his land scheme; it was by this scheme alone the working man could have a property in his own labour, and reap the full benefit of it. He rejoiced to see women present, because to woman this plan was especially advantageous. She was no longer sum mooed from her pillow and her family by the factory bell, to be immured in a prison of hard labour all day till the clew was sounded in the evening. She was now made the mistress of her own palace. (Applause.) In the land scheme they knew not the disgrace of making the wife and daughter work in a factory. He pointed to the tri umphs which the principles of the charter had achieved in France, and solemnly pledged himself never to cease his ex ertions till the charter had triumphed in England. They had been told there would be a massacre in Dublin on Mon day. He begged his friends to dismiss the thought from their mends; the whir thirst not do it. They had starved the Irish people to death by famine, whilst the money they spent en keeping foreign rinces, inch as the Kings of Bel glum and Hanover, an d the money they threw away in other useless channels would have preserved them in plenty; but they durst not enact • massacre in Ireland in the face of things as they now stood in Europe. He had been dissuaded from throwing himself into the breach, but be lived a charmed life, and did not fear. If • hair of his head were harmed he would not give three days' purchase for all the property in England. He took a review of the agitations which had taken place for the repeal o the union and for the enactment of the people's charter, and congratu lated repealen in Ireland on the millions of allies they bad in England, and he congratulated the Chartists on the en ample set them in France. The chairman next gave, "The memory of those glorious spirits who have stuck for free dom, whether they died on the scaffold, lingered out their existence in exile, in prison, or gloriously accomplished the 16,, .

FORGERY OP BANK Or ENGLAND NOTES.—The Liverpool Moil warns the public against a well executed T ries of Bank of England notes which are forgeries. The water-mark is perfect, though perhaps rather more strongly developed than in the genuine note. They are numbered hi L. 60395,—datcd 16th February, 1846—ap parently issued from the branch bask of England at Man chester, and are signed "H. Bogdan." So well has the forgery been executed, that one of these notes was taken by a Liverpool bank ; b y . the bankers it was paid to a firm, who ' again paid it to a foreign mercantile house ; and it was only upon the note being presented at the Bank of England, in London, that the forgery wa s discovered . The only ap parent defer in the forgery was the incompleteness of the figure of Britannia in die left hand uer corner. OtterOher notes (one of which is in the pervasion of the police), same date, and evidently from the same plate, are in eircu- OUTRAGE ON A LADY OF FORTUNE.—A very daring outrage was committed last week, oa a widow lady of for tune in the neighbourhood of Kendal. The lady in ques tion is Mrs. C. M. N. Bateman, of Cowwan Head Hall, and from the statement she has made, it appears that on Tuesday she had been on a visit at the Ab be y. near Stavely, with Mrs. Wilson, the lady of J. Wilson, Esq., of the Orange, Sussex, who is staying at that seat. She left rather late in the 'voting, for the purpose of returning to her own resi dence, which is about four hundred yards distant, and had scarcely got half way before a man sprang from a side hedge, and violently seizing her by the arms, threw her on the ground with much force, saying, " Now, your money or your life." As soon es she coul d recover herself, Mrs. Bateman called out with all her strength for help, but her cries were not heard. The ruffian m aintained his grasp of her, and with an eath exclaimed, " It you do not hold your noise I'll draw my pistol and shoot you through the head." The terrified lady supplicated his mercy, and being allowed to get up from the ground, she endeavoured to find her purse to give him, but from fright or some other cave's she could not account for there was some delay in her giving it up, and the fellow again threw her on the ground, and kneeling on her cheat, in most dis gusting language vowed he would do her horrible injury did she net deliver up all she had upon her person. Alter much difficulty she succeeded in finding her purse, which she handed to him, antknovooner had he possession of it than he filled her mouth with dirt and palled her bonnet over her face, so as to prevent her screaming being heard. The wretch then dragged her across the road to the entrance of a field. Here his object was apparent, and a desperate struggle en sued. Mrs. Bateman having recovered her self-possession to some extent fought with her assailant nobly, and being • powerful woman, she resisted for some time his abominable attempt'. At length, however, he hurled her again to the ground. her bead coming in contact with a wall, and with increased violence he endeavoured to overpower her. Her strength had never failed her, and in the most energetic w.ahner, considering her distressed condition, she continued to struggle with him, and beat him off'. After nearly an hour's conflict the villain decamped, and the unfortunate Indy in a dreadful state of suffering reached her residence. Mr. Hurstall, the chief constable of this town, having ob tained from Mrs. Batman a full description of the perpetra tor of the outrage, has succeeded in capturing a man named John Caradine, who answers the description given by Mrs. Bateman. There wer. scratches on his neck, and his trow sees were torn and covered with dirt. He has been taken before Mrs. Bateman, and being identified by her, he is re manded by the borough magistrates until she is able to attend. RENT. MONUMENT TO HARVEY.—The Mayor of Folke stone convened a meeting at the Town-hall last week, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the prop,sed erosion of • monument to their distinguished townsman, Dr. William Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of the b'cod, would meet with the approbation and support of the townsfolks. The hall was well and respectably filled. The meeting was addressed by Dr. Bateman, who, in expatiating en the great worth which Harvey's di.covery had been, is, and will be, said that not all the deeds done by heroes could compare for usefulness to man, with that discovery of Harvey. Mr. Minter read a letter from Earl Radnor, wherein his lordship ins the committee liberty to choose any piece of ground on his estate whereon to erect the memento. Mr. Smyke, Earl Radnor's architect, has offered his professional services gra tuitously. It was proposed that the town be divided into districts, and that certain of the committee be appointed to collect the donations of the inhabitants ; and when that shall have been done, to make appeals to other towns, until the sum requir.d be obtained. Several persons, before leaving the hall, became subscribers. DEATH OF A LITERARY MAN.—The Dover Chroni cle revs: " With regret we chronicle the death of Mr. W.

"A SOLDIER AND APEAR'D r—A curious revela tion is made in the Athenawn if Saturday, respecting the treatment of an artist by a committee of the United Service Club. It seems that Mr. Marshall Claxton painted for the Westminster Hall competition a picture, the subject of which was the burial of Sir John Moore. Not having found a purchaser Mr. Cloxton very handsomely presented the work to the United Service Club; and it was to all appear ance eagerly accepted. Having been presented and rec'sved, the members of the club seem to hay , thought that with the painting they had a further right to the artist's services. First they request from him • key to his pic ture—and this Mr. Claxten sent. Then they expressed • wish for an alteration in the costume of the officers; and that Sir David Baird might make way in the picture for some body else, on some small point of chronology. Their next demand coolly suggested that the light should be altered— the light of the picture, he it observed—to adapt it (we sup pose). to its puce, the billiard-room, instead of the library, to original desuuation—instead of the usual plan of making the Plats suit the light of the picture. Next, Mr. Claxton is informed that " some gentleman had proposed covering up the face of Sir John Moore!" Lastly, Mr. Claxton is desired to take his picture back again. " But," ears our contemporary, by far the richest bit re mains behind. The club will never get over it. The reason assigned by these soldiers for finally requestiost the with drawal of the picture exceeds anything we know of in farce. The chairman of the committee Informed Mr. Claxton that it wax to be removed because some of the members objected to sit in the room with a picture of a dead body ! It would scarcely have keen more ludicrous if such as objection had come from Surgeons'-hall. The fop described by Shake peare, who loved civet and could not bear to have ' an un mannerly. ce rp m, ' brought ' between the wind and . his nobility' is intelligible ; hut a soldier uneasy in the pre sence of a dead body (it being hie Wade to make them). -yea, more, at the mere picture of a dead body—is a suggestion which would have exceeded the limits of carieature. What do you come frightening delicate females with your nasty corpses fort' says the old woman at Sairy Gamp's door to Mr. Pecksniff ' you are old enough and ugly enough to know better.' This endatn burst of conscientious confession throws • new and unexpected light on their desire to have the face of Sir John Moore covered up." INSTITUTE OF THE FINE ARTIL—At the evening meeting on Saturday, the chief attractions were a large land scape, by the late Mr. Constable (very much improved sine* we last saw it) ; an unfinished miniature of the Duchess of Marlborough, her nurse, and child, by Sir William Rom (pretty in point of compo-ition, and all the better for its want of finish, and the quiet look of its plain oak frame); a kit-ket portrait, Cy Mr. ll i idge , of T. Uwins , R.A. (like but bard); and a volume of clever pen-and-ink sketches by E. M. Ward. A.R.A , who appears to work at all times with equal seal, industry, and to THE NATIONAL GALLERT.—The little Guido, "The Coronation of the Virgin," bequeathed to the nation by the late Mr. Wells, of Redleaf, has just been added to the collec tion at the gallery. It was a favourite picture with Sir Thomas Lawrence, who was forced to part with it to pay a debt of honour incurred at the gaming table. The morning after his loss he wrote to Mr. Wells (so the story runs) offer ing him the picture for a thousand guineas and Mr. 'Wells, who had long wished to possess it, closed at once with the great painter, and wro'e a cheque for the amount. As a work of art its merits are considerable, and in a private col lection would make an important NW!, white in the Na tional Gallery (even p or as outs is) it ie ra'her an addition to our numbers than an e accession to oar strength in what is actually first-rate.

Armed with this and accompanied by the other four men, be went to the foot of a wood. They distinctly heard the tramp of poachers, and when within about ten yards of them Brown called out to the keepers who were with him "Go at them lads." They were immediately answered by a shout from one of the poachers, "Go at them again lads." Before this the keep ers had heard an air gun fired twice, hut which fortunately did not produce any effect. A conflict ensued, and Brown was wounded in the arm. It was not, however, proved to the satisfaction of the jury that it was the prisoner who fired the gun by which the prosecutor was wounded, and he was accordingly Acquitted. —Cantrill was again charged with night-poaching. To this offence he pleaded Guilty. Before Hr. Watson, Q.C. CONVICTION NO/ FELONY UNDER Till NEW COCNTY COURTS ACV. — T. Crake, 29, was charged with having, on the 4th of February last, at Crigglestone, near Wakefield, feloniously demanded of Emma Jame• the sum of 31. 3.. sd. The prisoner called on the day in question at the house of the prosecutor, who is a working c l&r, and demanded payment of a debt of 31. 3.. lid , threatening that in case it was not paid at once he should, by authority of two printed pares which he produced, and which he said were promises from the county court, cries the goods in the house, and should also arrest the prosecutor. Both the pro secutor and his wile were very much alarmed, as they were unable to pay the money. The demand made was for a debt due to Mrs. Bent, 'eons the father of the prosecutor, who had been dead reveal years. The prosecutor was not in any way liable for this demand, but the prisoner represented he must pay the money or go to prison. He thereupon promised to raise it by next tn ,, rning ; and the prisoner left the house, stating that be should return next morning at eight o'clock. The prosecutor went the same night to Wake field, and consulted a solicitor named Dalby. When the prisoner called next morning he was seized by Mr. Dalby and a constable, who were lying in ambush for him. In the pockets of the prisoner were found the documents which the prisoner pretended were county court processes. It was headed " Notice," with a large copy of the royal arms.

C V. lIAIOR AND OTNERD.—fun LAW OE BANE. DU YTCY.—SPECI AL J Ver.—The plaintiff is a gentleman of considerable property residing at Knaresborough, and was formerly the manager at a bank. The defendants are, some of them, manufacturers living at Bradford, and the others persons who were called in to assist in the alleged illegal act which had given rise to the present action. Before June last there was a firm existing at Suddenden Fort, near Halifax, carried on by Messrs. W. and S. Smith, as cotton ' spinners. Among the persons who dealt with them was Mr. John Denbigh, of Bradford, end on the 4th of June Mr. Denbigh met with Mr. S. Smith at Halifax. A conver sation ensued between them, anil, on Mr. Denbigh asking him how lie was getting on, Mr. Smith said that money was scarce, that he wanted some to pay wages, and he asked Mr. Denbigh if he had any loose cash with which he could accommodate him, stating at the same time he had some goods to sell, and that the firm, although pressed be their banker, were in a position to pay more than 201. in the pound. Mr. Denbigh replied that he had no doubt that he alone, or with the assistance of a friend, could advance him 1,0001. or 1,5001, if he had any goods to sell, which would leave a fair profit to the pur chaser. Mr. Smith replied that he had some "tope and n0i1.," and other articles, which be bad no doubt would leave a profit; and accordingly, an Monday, the 7th of June, Mr. Denbigh and the plaintiff, who was informed by the former that he believed that an advantageous purchase might be made, proceeded to Suddenden Fort, when Mr. Carter bought of the Messrs. Smith a quantity of tops and node, as well as some soap and oils, for 4151., the whole being treated as a "job lot." The plaintiff produced five bills of exchange and some entail cash, when Mr. Smith said he wished to have cash. He was informed, however, that the bills were as good as cash, and on Mr. Den bigh consenting to put his name upon them they were received by Mr. Smith. The goods arrived at Mr. Den bigh's warehouse at Bradford on the Bth of June, and on the following day the defendants, Haieh, Foster, and another pi non, seized the goods, notwithstanding they were warned of the consequences, they stating that they seined the goods on account of the assignees of Messrs. Smith, and that they were willing to abide by the consequences. The goods were afterwards sold, and the proceeds not only appropriated by the assignees, but also the whole of the money due upon the bills which Mr. Smith had receis( d from the plaintiff. The learned counsel fur the plaintiff submitied that his client bad a perfectly good title against the defendants, and that they had no right whatever to seize the property in question. The defendants pleaded first " Not guilty " and secondly that the plaintiff was not entitled to the goods.—Mr. Knowles ad deemed the jury for the defendants, contending, in the first place, that the sale on the 7th of June was of itself an set of bankruptcy; that therefure the goods then alleged to be purchased became the property of the bankrupts' (Messrs. Smith) assignees, as soon as those assignees were appointed; and, in the nest place, that this was not a Send /de payment in the sense in which the legislature intended the words bond fide should be wed.—Mr. Baines, in reply, submitted that the attempt made on the other side to show that his client had been a party to that which he was entirely Innocent of—namely, the commission of a fraud upon the creditors of the bankrupts—bad completely failed, end that, therefore, the jury had no other alternative but to find • verdict for the plaintiff.—Verdict for the plaintiff.

The proucator proved that he was working on the railway near Bangor, when he had a slight dispute with the prisoner concerning • spade, the result of which was that both men were discharged from their employment. In an hour er so afterwards the prisoner crossed the river Ogwen, and pro ceeded in the direction of Talybout. As he was Fusing along he felt a stab ; he turred round on receiving the wound, and perceived the prisoner. Had not beard any one approach, in consequence of the noise made by the water. A man named Thomas Jones found the prosecutor ins weak and bleeding state on the banks of the river Ogwen iand another named Pierce, who was called to assist in carrying the prose cutor, gave simlar evidence. The police deposed to finding a knife on the person of the prisoner. The latter said, on being apprehended, " Well, if I have done so, I must suffer for it." The knife was a common cheese blade. The surgi cal evidence proved that the wound inflicted was on the left side of the chest, on the fifth rib. The point of the knife had met with an obstruction in the rib : had the blow been aimed a little lower the steel must have passed between the fifth and aizth ribs, and instant death would have ensued. The blow appeared to have been struck from behind. The prosecutor fully identified the prisoner as the party who had struck him. Mr. Webby addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called evidence to prove that he was of quiet and peace able habits. The judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy, on account of previous good character. Sentenced to be transported ten years. POLICE-SATORDAY. BOW-STREET.—CaUTIOW TO ONNIBES TRAVELLERS: g. Ginger was charged with having picked the pocket of a lady named Stringle of 201. in notes, on Saturday week.— Miss Siringle stated that on Saturday la-t, about one o'clock, having been to the Bank to receive a dividend, she placed it in a pocket-book in her pocket, and got into a Chelsea omnibus in Cheapside, In Fleet-street the prisoner also got into the omnibus, and sat near to her ; he had a loose coat or cloak on, and kept very close to her, unnecessarily so eke thought. He got out in Agar-street, and immediately atter West, a constable, came up and asked if lay one had lost any money. There were only two other passengers. who sat at the other end of the omnibus. Witness felt in her pocket, and on taking out her pocket-book found it open, and found the notes removed. Crow-examined : The pri soner sat very close to her, and she felt for her purse while sitting next to him, but finding that safe, took no further notice until spoken to by the police. She could not swear that the prisoner had a cloak, or a loose coat. Whatever it was, it,wu suf i. lent to cover her knees when he was sitting so close. No other person sat near her all the time.—Toe magistrate inquired whether the prisoner was known ? Wilt said he was in custody at this court six years ego on suspicion, and he believed he was known to many other offieers.—Sergeant Thompson said he had heard that he bad three m-nths' imprisonment for something he had done at Chester Races. He wu informed of this by Stowell, the informer—Mr. Henry desired that Stowell might be ordered to attend and give evidence of this fact on Tuesday next.—lt seems that West bad watched the prisoner, know ing his character, and took him into custody almost instantly after he had quitted the omnibus but in the meantime he had contrived to get rid of the money.—The prisoner was remanded until (to-morrow) Tuesday. JOSEPH ADT.—Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post office, applied to Mr. Henry for a warrant to apprehend Joseph Ady. It will be recollected that he was convicted some time since at this court, and ordered to pay for the postage of certain unpaid letters, to the amount of upwards of 161. He promised to pay, if allowed time ; but, not having made hie appearance at Mr. Peacock's, an exe,ution was issued against his goods; but, on attempting to levy this, Joseph produced a receipt, signed by his sister, proving that the property had all been assigned over to her. Under these circumstances Mr. Peacock now attended to obtain a war rant against his body, in order, if possible, to break him of his cosoeflus usibersdi, for he was still carrying on his busi names briskly u ever, and innumerable letters from him prod through the Post-office daily.—Mr. Henry said he would pat the law in force to the utmost extent to atop him, and ordered that the warrant should issue immediately. MARTLRBONE.— KINDNESS I LL-RECWITED. —Mary RaberiSCN was charged with having robbed Mrs. Brown, who lodged in Paddington-green. Mrs. Brown had been out on the previous evening making Turchasei, and on her way home was appealed to by the prisoner in the most pa thetic terms, describing herself and family as being in &Wats of deplorable destitution, not having partaken of food for the preceding 24 house. Mrs. Brown took her to her lodgings, and there supplied her with food and drink. The complain ant, feeling tired after a long day's walk, lay down to rest herself, and soon fell fast asleep, but was after a short spans of time roused up by her landlord, who had stopped the prisoner endeavouring to make her escape by the front doer, and whose appearance had excited his suspicion. On her were found 121 yards of silk, a victorine, and several other articles of 'insole dress, which, on examination, proved to be the property of Mrs. Brown.—lt appeared, from the state ment of several constables, that the prisoner was an old offender ; and time being requisite to inquire into the parti culars of the case, the prisoner was remanded until next Friday. HAMMERSMITH. Dtesirvern Daroaaas.— M. Porte:, thirty-five years of age, and E. E. Pastes, twenty-e ven yi an of age, daughters of Captain James' Poetes, R.N., of Pomona-place, Fulham, were charged with having threatened the life of their father.—Capt. Poetes de posed that the defendants, on the night of Tuesday last, re turned home about half-past ten o'clock, very drunk. He sent them to bed, but on getting to the top of the staircase, Mary threw her candle-stick down the stairs with great vio lence, and declared, with much vehemence, that neither witness nor any member of the family, should be alive by tt n o:clock the next day. They bad fir a long time been in the habit of getting drunk, and although he had o'ten put them on " short commons" for money, it had no effect on them, for they pawned all their clothes, and he had to clothe them afresh. lie had in January last taken out summonses against them for similar conduct, but they promised to rc form it he would not proceed with the summonses. Their promise was, however, broken, and he was compelled, for his own Gaiety and that of his wife and family, to require them to be bound over.—The defendants, who continually interrupted chi. it father's statement by loud sobs and cries of " Oh, dear pa, pray forgive us !--oh, pray forgive us !" tt Only try us once more, dear pa," were then called upon by the magistrate for their defence. They declared that they had not the slightest recollection of having used the threats mentioned, but that if they did they were very sorry, and were quite sure that they did not mean them.—lte defendants were ordered to be bound each in their own ill cognisance of 40/., and to find sureties in 201. each, to be of good behaviour for fourteen days. Not being able to pro duct the sureties, they were, to their Great asonisbment, re moved in the police-van to the Westminster Bridewell.

Wore the Vier-Chansellor of England. HITCHCOCK v. THE DUES OF BueoItIOHAtf.—ISJVEC TION TO ELSTRAIN THIS SALE Or TISIBER DISSOLVED. — Mr. Bethel' and Mr. Elmsley moved, on behalf of the de fendants in this cane, the Duke of Buckintsham and his son, the Marquis of Chandos, to dissolve an injunction granted ex parts, to restrain the defendants from selling, or offering for sale, certain timber grossing upon the estates belonging to them. It appeared that the plaintiff had advanced a sum of 25,0001. to the defendants, who had granted him an an nuity of 5,0001„ which was charged upon the defendants' estates. The titan s had previously been mortgaged for a large sum, and the first mortgagee was not a party is this suit. The deed under which the plaintiff's annuity was secured was dated April 20, 1846. The defendants were now in posses-ion of the estates, and by permission of the first mortgagee they had advertised for sale a quantity of timber upon their estates, and the plaintiff contended that he was entitled to have some security that the money raised by the sale of the timber ahould be applied in discharge of the first incumbrance; for if the defendants were allowed to take for their own benefit the produce of the sale the plaintiff's security as the second incumbraneer would be considerebly lessened. For the defendants it was alleged that they intended to apply the money raised by the sale of the timber in reducing the charge of the lint mortEngee; that the sale was to take place with the sanction of such first incumbrancer ; and that the plaintiff had no ground fur sustaining the present injunction. —Mr. Rolt and Mr. Gla•se appeared fur the plaintiffs.—The Vice Chancellor said it was plain that the sale of the timber was agreed upon and was to take place with the concurrence and approbation of the first incumbraneer, and th►t it would be for the benefit of the ignites to reduce the charges already bearing heavily upon them. The estate had been allowed to remain in the possession of the defendants, but not under their control. It had beers stated that the plaintiff would be satisfied if an order could be made which would bind the defendants to apply the proceeds of the sale in discharge of the Brat incumbrance. This could not be done in the present suit, since the other incumbraocers were not parties to it ; but the legal effect of the transaction would be, that without any undertaking whatever the produce of the sale must necessarily be set off against what might be due to the first is cumbrances.. It was alleged, however, that the principal incumbrancers had met together, and had agreed that the sale of the timber should take place, and it was evident that their object was, not to put money into the pockets of the defendants, but to clear the estate of some of the charges, and this would have the effect of improving the plaintiff's security. If the plaintiff bad exercised his Inge r nuity he might have discovered this fact, and thereby the I necessity of filing a bill would have been entirely done away with, but as he hat acted in ignorance of what was . going on he must take the consequences, and the injunction , must be dissolved, with costs. Ketone Vice-Chencel'or Knight Bruce. GRIAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. MANOME TER, SHRYTIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY COY• Wigram and Mr. De hex moved ex parte on behalf of the plaintiffs, as lessees under their act of parliament of the Witham navigation for 909 years, to re strain the defendants from proceeding witk the construction of an embankment upon lands belonging to the Witham na vigation, upon which it was alleged by the bill, end the affi davit in support of it, the defendante had entered without having come to any agreement with the plaintiffs, or sem. plying with any of the statutory requisitions enabling them to enter upon the land. The affidavit stated that negotia tions had taken place last year respecting the purchase if the land, bat without any result ; and that on the plaintiffs' soli citor being in Lincoln on Feb. 16 last he discovered the tres pass which was in the course of commission. It was further stated that notice was given of the plaintiffs' intention to he a bill and move for an injunction upon notice, but that shim that time the defendants had increased their exertions to complete the embankment complained of —The Vice. Chanoeller granted an interim order restraining the de fendants in the manner sought till next Friday, with leave to give notice of motion for Thursday next for an injunction in theabove and other respects.

D3E ON THE DENIER Or WARREN a LA➢E DREDGES.— GATELKIND.—The proceedings this morning were com menced by Sir F. Thceiger, who made his reply on brbalf of the plaintiff.—The Lord Chief Justice summed vp, going minutely through all the different points in the evidence. The jury retired at half-past twelve o'clock, and were ab sent about two hours, when .they returned into court, and delivered their verdict in the following terms:—" We find that Lady Isabella Brydpes is in legal possession of tne Woot• ton-court estate, and also of Swanton-woods," thus finding for the defendant. NORFOLK ClRClllT.—C•onainot, MARCH 18. The judge e, Chief Baron Pollock and Mr. Justice Colt man, arrived in this town from Huntingdon, where the business occupied only one day, yesterday after noon, and after opening the commission at the new county courts proceeded to beer divine service in Great St Mary's Church. This morning (Saturday) both the courts opened, the Chief Boron presiding at nut prius, where only five or aid causes were entered, none presenting any feature of in terest, except that of " Long v. Swann," which arises out of proceedings at Sir F. Kelly's re-election in 1836, the plaintiff averring that on that occasion he pail certain sums of money to certain persons for certain purposes of the election, and which money he now attempts to recover from the defen dant. The parties are well known here, the plaintiff being in the defendant's employ, and both have been prosecuted for bribery, the plaintiff having been fouud guilty and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, and the defendant acquitted. In the Criminal Court the busineu is very heavy, there be upwards of fifty 'oilmen, including two charges for murder (one a man killing his wife, and another for the murder of an illegitimate child); there are also several cases of manslaughter, arson, and burglary; the burglary at Had denham, for which four prisoners are committed, having been attended with much violence, and the case excites con siderable intend. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yoga, MERCK 18. CROWN COOLT.—Before Mr. Bator Rolfe. SHOOTING WITH INTENT TO wit/mt.—H. Chntrill was charged with shooting at James Brown, with Intent to murder him. On the night of Wednesday, the 2nd of Feb ?nary last, George Waite, one of Lord Normanby's keepers, heard a noise inllalgrave wood like the firing of an air gun. This was followed in quick ouceestion by a second and a third. Weise immediately got the assistance of two teepee named Raine and Browns, and they were afterwards joined by a young man, the son of a farmer named Hebden, and another man named Ward. It was near eleven o'clock when, on the way to the wood, they called at Hebdan's, and band he had gone to bed. While waiting for him to get up, Brown, one of the keepers, saw a double-barrelled gun hanging from the ceiling. It was contrary to Lord RAILWAY NEWS. The share market waa extremely heavy on Saturday, and some of the best lines were offering at reduced rates, without finding buyers. There was a disincli nation to do business in all quarters.

The suspension of the Bank of France makes all th, deeper ;repression the more it is reflected on. It cannot fail, directly and indirectly, to exercise the most deleivions influence upon the entire frame of European credit. The position of the Bank cannot be improved by the mere issue of a decree that its `nett all be legal tender; for if, on the one hand, it is thus relieved from paying its own issues in specie, l it is compelled on the other to receive its own paper now circulating at an enormous rate of depreciation, in payment of all the bills it holds, and for which it paid twty hard money on discounting them, or the then equivalent of hard money. According to the statement of its affairs on the 15th inst., as published in the 2lfoniteur, the amount of bills falling due in Paris alone then in its port folio, non-inclusive of bills due on that day, and bills in the branch banks, was nearly 253 millions of france, or say, in round numbers, above ten millions sterling. Its notes out with the public, exclusive also of the circulation of its branch banks, but taking into account the post bills for two millions of francs, are stated at nearly 266 millions of francs, or say ten millions and a half sterling. The notes, therefore, thus answering to the sum of the bills discounted and held, will be purchased in the market at I some 20 or 30 per cent. discount, or more, ' and returned upon it by its debtors as full payment of the bills presented at maturity by the Bank collectors. It is evident that the capital of the esta blishment at least will be annihilated by the destruc tive two-edged action of its diaconate and circulation. How the Provisional Government of France pro poses to carry on the public service amidst such a financial chaos of the crisis and its own creation, re mains the mystery more particularly to be solved. The balance iu the bank to the credit of the treasury, say the " public deposits" as here understood, stood at the date at 421 millions of francs, or 1,690,0001. only. According to the Marquis d' Audiffret, reputed to be practically the most skilled financier of France, " the daily service of all the public departments re quires habitually the presence (or command) of funds to the extent of nearly 200 millions of francs," or 11 millions sterling. Under these circumstances of the prostration of all credit, public and private in France, wi , h the run for specie, and the hoarding, which, as on all former oc casions, must be the consequence, some uneasiness begins to be felt about the not improbable result of a drain upon this country for metallic treasure. It is evident that, with political derangements so preva lent, and credit generally so impaired abroad, con. eumption and production, representing commercial exchanges, must be materially affected is their relative proportions one to the other. The indus trial power, the power of production, mug be very considerably impaired whet ever the political machine is out of order and the public mind troublrd, whilst the capacity of consumption must in a larger ratio still be contracted. The consumption of Europe will be less, even if production were rateably to proceed as before. As a necessity of the case, exports must exceed consumable imports, the payments ou balance for which will be drawn in hard money, since the ab sence of credit and the want of specie are the two distinctive evils of the situation. A drain of specie is not, therefore, apprehended without some reason, and must naturally follow from the premises. In the midst of all those tribulations abroad it is remarkable to observe how firmly public securities rale at home, sensitive as are geherallv the capitalists interested in them as holders.
