MR. NIACREADY AND THE DRAMA. (Fres Vet Deity AWL) The lxengm t at whieb Mr. MACREADY wan enter blued en t-aturday, by an illustrious and worthy company, was an appropriate close to the meritorious earner oi that eminent tragedian lie is the last .I that long line of great actors which connect the Victorian with the Elisabeth= stage—old Drury' with the Glube—thttaltriN ENowits and lict.wia with SitAitsrmax and Brit JUNSON—Which corn meneing with the stately BETIRRIIiN was adorned' in it• descent to him by the earioux thatatea. the impo•ing LIMA, and the soul-stirring Kett/--and lath In his person falls with dignity and in honour. Mr. Mscr.ssnY's predecessors were probably all putter allots individually than he was; but in Bill and perfett uppieciation oithe poet and dramatist by whose inemusouble genius their efforts us a whole ate to be tested, he! rose superior to them all; in severity and vet richm-s of taste, in knowledge of the tics sit the stage, in the aid for its adornment which he sought from the " sister arts," in the proof he gave that (.taln Li. was right when he sung that it " all their beanie Wends," Mr. MseaLsov for excelled the gout ti-ts to Whig* separate excellence he did not reach. It is not, therefore, merely us an actor that Mr. M.ti arAnv's retirement from the stage is a pahlie loss; hut as a man of genius who fur a season taught a nation how great an instrument of civilises ti at and inond improvement and of ne•thetical deve lopment it possessed in a theatre of which he was at onoce the liberal and tasteful manager and the most perfect artist. By slow mid difficult steps—byearnest study and la borious work -by resolute determination to be stuyess ful, aided by many physical advantages, great natural it iso, unil by good taste industriously cultivated, Mr. Mseuraiiv Is tame the great actor of his day. Having attained this eminence, he sought to turn to purposes of general, it may safely he added of national, advantages. Ile risked his well earned fume and his hary won fortune in an endeavour to nsestabli.h a school of gnat actors, and to give to England in a theatre the advantages of all that ad vance in art, taste, and learning, which had been made since the "large houses" had been lost to all three. It was a great and noble alert. It failed; but not, it is a consolation to he told as Mr. , nuar-toy mowed his audience on Saturday, because the attempt w.ei unappreciated by the public, but because it was frustrated by the ilellishmss of the proprietors of n theatre who had no faith in the pro spective balm nee of enduring excellence on their property and fortunes The truth is, that real merit in that which is csmentiall popular and in its tendencies attractive, is always appreciated. We crowd to the great Ita lian singers : we make our way . in long and weary columns to listen to those mighty oratoritm over which Mr. COhfA so worthily presides; we hasten to welcome the arrival of those light and lively French Won who, even when they fail to amuse, never lapse into otrimr. And why ? Because there we find extelhawe; bemuse there we are not doomed to witness indifferent merit; still less to have our ears disgusted by ignominy, or our eves with vulgarity. The hours at which we attend unsex perfurnumees are the home at which other plates of amusements are open ; it is not. thenlbre, to a change of habits or of how • that the sufficient attendance of the one or the Math uate attendance of the other is attri butable. The cause is to be seareht d for and ttund :kepi r. It is nut in society, it is in our theatre:: oho mselves, that the solution of their indif ferent sUtts+S When. then, Sir Bt t.wtat LYTTON says that the' rent.dies for the distress of the British theatre and drama an to he found in legislation, we are com p-11.d to diffic from so high an authority. Their prosperity con as little he widens' by parliament as that of Kritish agriculture. " The faUlt is not in the stars, rear Mit re's, but in ourselves, that we arc think" When Mr. Multi:saw worthily attracted the public. the public worthily attended cm Mr. PA wormer. And when any • else follows Mr. Mceite.cov's example, they will be equally well suited urn at. That Mr. Mat lor-ittv's lessor: snatched too large a proportion of the receipts. and. lay landlords elsewhere, took that for rent which under no true theory was rent, was a fault and Iblunster which broke down the enterprise, but which no hipslatiuti ran correct or prevent the re eling ucc of. _ Our larger tha alms are,like the states of Irish pro prietors. oppressed with debts, with judgments, with charges, anal with fore admissions, all based and cal culated ~11 1 l-r, ipts• on a system, 111111 can 11 Stlppliled evrtaitity 11E11 1..111 never return. The elmsequi•nee is. that it Is l. 11:111K1 rolls, nod hazardous, and difficult to deol with them. Their very tunes are szosssed on assumptions which, though once realities, are present delusions.

No ; it is neither to legislation, nor, sat bitter ex perietwe has shown, to rune show, that the revival of the English stage. in its higher and better deve lopment. will Isa owing. if it again revive; and with KLUTEs. it is piens:Olt to believe that --- A thing .4 beauty never dies.

This is u great truth worthy of all acceptation. There is no royal road to histrionic fame any more than there is to mathematical demonstration ; the end is to be retched lay labour. resolution, and deter mination. "It was by slow degries," said Bt RKE of ( . 111 %RIES FOX... that be became the first orator of his age."

The commission for the county of Essex was opened to- day, and the learnc•l judges proceeded immediately to business. The gaol calendar presents a fearful array of crime, there being 76 prisoners for trial, and nearly the whole of the cases are of the most atrocious description. Lord Chief Justice Campbell, who sat on the crown side, in addressing the grand jury, said that upon looking over the calendar he was horror-stricken and terrified at its CM tent.; for he found that there were not lets than five charees of murder, twelve of arum, a great number of burglary, and in fact there were charges of almost every description of aggravates! offence known to the law; and be observed that he really felt so much weighed down by observing the extent of crime that was to be disposed of, that be really could not do more than to ask them to retire at once to perform the duties that devolved upon them. CHAILGE OF WILFUL MtRDER. Uillinaf Per;, 42, morbid, inoffensive, motherly looking woman, attired in deep mourning, was indicted for the wilful murder of Swum Smith l'age, her daughter, by cutting her throat. Mr. Ityland conducted the prosecu tion. The prisoner wax defended by Mr. T. Chambers. The learned counsel, in stating the case fur the proem tion, add that the prisoner had been arraigned upon the present charge at the Lent assizes in 1e.50, and was then found to be insane and unfit to plead, and since that period she had been confined in gaol, but having now recovered, ehe was placed upon her trial. Ile apprehended the only question the jury would have to decide was as to the state of mind of the prisoner at the time she committed the act imputed to her. Sums witnesses were then examined, from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner was the wife of a labouring man in this town, and that up to the time of the occurrence she had always borne the character of an affectionate wife and mother. In November, 1849, she was delivered of the child in question, and it appeared that shortly after she had recovered from her confinement she was observed to be in a very low and desponding way, and she was frequently beard to exclaim that she did not know how she should he able to live, as her husband had had his wages reduced. It appeared that soon afterthis, her husband was discharged from his employment, and this still further preyed upon her mind. On the morning of the day named in the indict ment she went in her night clothes to the house of a neigh bour named Cooke, a shoemaker, in a wild and excited state, and she exclaimed to him, " I have killed my poor ikar babe, and hare tried to kill myself, but I can't." Mr. Cooke said he hoped what she rant was not true, and she said it was, and put her hand up to her threat, and he oh -erred blend oozing between her fingers. Its then ob tained assistance and proceeded immediately to the pri soner's house, where he found the child with its throat cut, covered user with the bedclothes and quite dead a and a razor, with which the dreadful act had been committed, was lying by its side. The Lord Chief Justice, after a portion of the evidence had been gone through, 'aid it appeared to him to be un neeemary to proceed further with the examination of the witnesses, as he apprehended the jury could not entertain any reasonable doubt that at the time the prisoner commit ted the act she was not in such a state of mind as to render her responsible for her actions. The jury concurred with the opinion expressed by his lordship, and at once returned a verdict of Not Ciesilty, on the ground of insanity. Totgi )ouutso iii nee Memos: t.—The trial of the young man.

Luke Melly and Iranian Melly wen. indicted for baring in October, 1149, shot at John Smith and others, game keepers, in the employ of A. B. Crenwell, Esq., with in tent to murder.

After he was down, prisoner kicked him with great violence on the head, which, according to the surgical evidence, producul an effusion upon the brain, which caused almost immediate death. Mr. Ingham was for the prosecution, and Mr. Otter for the defence, who 'aid he could not deny the fact charged, but he called a wittieps to show that, in a previous quar rel, deceased had kieled Baglce when be was down.

STEALING MONET LETTER... —At tho Bristol Police-court, this week, Thomas Huckman, one of the dis trict messengers, was fully committed to take kis trial for' stealing from the letter bag a letter, containing a sovereign and four postage stamps. Mr. Hammy, her Majesty's In speetor-Gcseral, attended by direction of the Postmaster- General, assisted by Mr. Bretton, solicitor, to prosecute the complaint, which was preferred under • section of the act of parliament which imposes the penalty of transportation ' for life. The prisoner's duty was to convey the litter bag from the Sto le's Croft district "Mee to the general re ceiving office iu Corn-street, and several money letters having been meant a representation was made to the Post assitcr-General, who scut down Mr. Ramsay to inquire into it. The prisoner was suspected, sad a sovereign and some Nampo were inclosed in a letter, which was addressed to • m os i r inManchester,stamped, and posted in St o k e ' s When t e bag was received and opened it was dis covered that the letter was not contained in it. This in creasing the suspicion against ths prisoner, he, on his pre senting himself in the evening, was taken into custody and saarelted, and the four postage stamps, upon which Mr. Ramsay had put a private marls, were found in his pocket. CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO URT. This court resumed its sittings yesterday, pursuant to the adjournment from the last session. The commissioners pre sent at the opening of the business were the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Common Serjeant, Alder men Hunter, Solomon., Sir C. Marshall. and Lawrence; Messrs. Garden and Hodgkinson, sheriffs; Messrs. Law and Elba, under-sheriffs, &e. The calendar at present contains the names of 147 prisoners. The Recorder, after the grand jury had been sworn, said, in addressing them, that it was a matter of c mgratulatiou that the eats of the calendar was such as would not render it necessary for him to detain them more than a few minutes, and indeed when he first came into court he anticipated that he should at once have been able to remit them to the performance of their duties. Since he had token his seat upon the bench, how ever, the depositions in two or three cases hail been put into his hands, to which he considered it necessary to call their attention by a few observations. He was glad to per ceive that the calendar was not only light in numbers, but also in the quality of the crimes charged in it, and that it did nut contain a single charge of the highest nature known to the law—that of murder. There were, however, those cases involving the destruction of human life, which were of rather a peculiar character, and he thought it right very briefly to call their attention to those C 2506. In the first of them it appeared that the injury inflicted was of a very trifling description, and consisted merely of a puncture in the hand by a fork, and the death of the party appeared to have been owing to his bad state of body at the time he received the injury. It was his duty, however, to tell them, that if it should ap pear that the injury, although trifling in itself, still by rea son of the bad state of body of the deceased eventually proved fatal, the party would still be liable to the charge of manslaughter. In the next cue it appeared that the de ceased was suffering from a malady which must have termi nated her existence within a comparatively short period, but notwithstanding this, if it should be established that the injury inflicted by tho accused party accelerated even to the very smallest possible degree the death of the deceased, he would be equally guilty of the crime of manslaughter, although the period of the dissolution might only have been anticipated by a very short interval. The third ease of manslaughter was one of an unusual character. It appeared that a little girl, seven years old, had been sent into the room occupied by the prisoner, to request her to be quiet, she being at the time intoxicated and making a great noise, and there could be no doubt that the prisoner gave her a quantity of gin, the effect of which was to cause immediate insensibility, and she was removed to the hos pital, when• she died in three or four days afterwards. fliese being the facts, he should recommend the grand jury, if they should he of opinion from the evidence that would be laid before them that the prisoner had recklessly and in cautiously administered a quantity of spirits to a girl of tender years, and that death was the result, to re turn a true bill, and he might remark, that the fact of the prisoner being in a state of intoxication at the time would not afford any excuse fur her conduct. The learned judge then said there was a case of a must disgust ing character, in which a person filling the position of a gentleman, and a member of the College of Surgeons, was charged with felonious assaults upon no less than seven young girls. It would not be advisable fur him to make any reference to the disgusting evidence that appeared in the depositions, and he would merely remark that, if the grand jury should think that it was made out that there had been anything of what the law called durum., either by intimidation or by the administration of spirits and wine to the girls who were brought forward us witnesses, so as to hinder them from offering that resistance which other wise would have been expected from them, he considered the grand jury would be justified in finding a true bill in all the cases in which these facts were made to appear. The grand jury then retired to their room, and the court proceeded to dispose of the business of thesessiou. ItHAIEEKT AT THE .0 DO DHCIO. Conks Foote", 3S, • person of respectable appearance, described as an agent, w•s indicted for stealing • quantity of coffee, the property of the London Dock Company. In other counts Cie prisoner was charged with feloniously reviving the co&•e, knowing it to have been i•tolen. Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Gordon conducted the prosecution, which was instituted by the Board of Cus toms. Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. Mr. Bodkin having briefly explained the nature of the charge against the prisoner, the following witnesses were examined. William Compton deposed that in the year 1849 he was in the service of the London Dock Company, and he was engaged as delivery foreman at the South Quay warehouse. The prisoner, he understood, was a commission agent, and he had known him in that capacity for seven years, but for six mouths before October, 1849, they were on intimate terms. It was witness's duty to deliver out goods from the warehouse, and shortly before October hj: arranged with the prisoner that he should purchase a quantity of rice, and send a delivery order for it, and witness agreed to substitute coffee for the rice. Ile shortly afterwards received an order from the prisoner for the delivery of four bags of rice that were lying at the South Quay warehouse, and witness made up tour bags of coffee instead of rice, and they were taken assay in a truck. Ile took the coffee from the stores of the company, and when the bags had been put into the truck he gave u pass for four bags of rice. The prisoner afterwards gave him (id. per pound for the coffee, which was his share of the amount it fetched, after deducting the price that had been paid for the rice. Cross-examined by Mr. Parry—Rice and coffee were kept in the same warehouse. Witness left the service of the Duck Company in Map 18,50. lie was discharged, but it was not fora fraud. the company discharged him because he substituted one hag of coffee for another, and not for any fraud. Ile was put in prison for u supposed fraud upon her Majesty's Customs. lie war nut now in any employment, but received Dis. per week from the Customs. lie was suhloenaed as a witness upon time trial that took place in the Court of Exchequer, but was not examined. There were a good many discharged dock servants at the present time in the pay of the Customs, and he had received his pay since the commencement of the present prosecution in January bat. The coffee he sent away was taken from the bulk of sweepings and from bags that ought to have been delivered before. Mr. E. 0. Weak', superintendeat locker under the Castunis, deposed that, in October, 1849, the' average price of coffees, duty paid was Is. per pound. The duty on rice was only &I. per cwt. By Mr. l'arry—llad never seen coffee quoted at so low a price• as Irrs. pa•r ewt., nor even 1 ss than 30s. per cwt. Comptim, the hot witness, had been wanted at the Custom house to give his evidence almost every day. Mr. l'arry—Van you give ns an idea 'bow many of the discharged dock servants were " wanted" at the tustom house fur the same reason ? 'l•he witness ut jo tied to answer the question. Mr. Parry insisted upon his right to have the question answered; and the learned lteeorder ruled that it should be. The win., ss then said he believed there werebetween twenty and torty discharged dock servants at present in the pay of the Customs. There were different scale♦ of pay ment fur thew• persons. Some of them received twenty-five shillings per week, and others tee shillings only. Ite-esamine•d—believed that some of the persons he re forresl to had been discharged because they refused to sign certain documents that were required of them by the Lock Company. Some of them had been in communication with the hoard of Customs before they were discharged. Wit:llan' Elston, a carman, deposed that he went with a truck to the South Quay warehouse in October, 1849, by direction of the prisoner, to bring away four bags of rice, and took tlo m afterwards to the office of the prisoner, in 139 liter-street. As he was going along, he observed there were ear e berries sticking upon one of the bags, and this circumstance excited his attention. -- Cross-examined—Witness was paid by the Customs for his loss of time. He had received four sovereigns alto gether, winch was at the rate of ten shillings a day. Ten shillings a day was his " figure." Ile was a master car man, but did not keep any liorrsv or carts, and on the dap in question he borrowed the truck from a person named Ilu had been in trouble himself, but he would rather not tell what it was about. Upon another occasion he was also locked up in Arbour.square police station, but he should deciine to state what it was for. By Mr. Dialkin—He was only kept in custody a few days and then discharged. He would rather not say what the eharg, was that was made against him. A lad named Collins, who was in the service of the pri soner at the tune of the transaction, was then examined, and lu• dowsed, that the witness Elston brought four bags of coffee to the mitre in Billiter-street, and that the pa wner received the hags, and took samples from them. This cloud the case for the prosecution. Mr. Parry made a very enurgetic addreu to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and in the course of his address be commented with considerable severity upon the conduct of the Custom-house authorities in tampering with the dis charged servants of the dock company, and inducing them, by the rayment of money to a considerable amount, toeome furssrs sau support a raarge of this description. He then remarked at sumo length upon the testimony of the wit nesses Elston and Compton, and urged upon the jury that, under the circumstances, they ought not to place any re liance upon their evidence ; and he concluded by asking the jury not to sanction such a proceeding as had been adopted by a public body like the Board of Customs as shown on the present sin:skims, or countenance the expenditure of the public money for unworthy purposes The jury retired to consider their verdict at a quarter to 3 o'clock, and after being some time in deliberation they returned into court, and gave a verdict of Guilty against the prisoner upon the count the indictment which charged him with feloniously receiving the property. Judgment was postponed.

MANSION-1101. - SE. John William, was charged with having picked a gentle man's pock, t of a silk handkerchief. A voting tradesman saw the prisoner, who waa °tromps ni,al by another man, w ho appeared to be "nn the loose," following a gentleman. The prisoner expertly transferred the gentleman's handkerchief from the pocket to which it belonged to his own, but upon hearing a cry of "atop thief," let it fall upon the ground, and ran away. His companion also speedily cut off, hut was more lucky than the Actual spoliator, who was at once stopped and taken to the station-house. The Lord Mayor—Now, prisoner, what do you sayto this charge ? Pnsoner—'Tis all false, my lord. I never took any hand kerchief. But the fact is, the witness against me wanted a job, and as he gets money by accusing ininic(nt people, he tried it on with me, but it would'ut do. I've seen hint my self at the work. The Lord Mayor—You hear what he says, witness. Have you appeared against other persons ? The witness—l appeared against a thief about three weeks ago at Guildhall. As I was standing at the corner of Ave Maria-lane I saw the man distinctly pick a pocket, and I pointed him out, and caused him to be taken into cus tody and conveyed to Guildhall. The Lord Mayor—And what was the result ? The witness—He was committed for fourteen days. That and the present were the only occasions on which I ever charged any busty, and I would not accept a profit from it. The prisoner—l'm just as innocent as the baby that's a sucking of that young woman. George Scott, the officer, said—l apprehended the pri soner three months riga on London-bridge for robbing a gentleman of his handkerchief; but the moment he saw me he dung the handkerchief over the bridge. Ile was then committed from this court for fourteen days. The prisoner—That was all as wrong u this. You mis took the party, that's all. The Lord Mayor—Well, if you are innocent you are very unfortunate. But why did you run away when you threw down this last handkerchief. The prisoner—Why ! Because they all run after me. (Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—Now I asked the witness who first gave evidence against you, not for a moment supposing that what you said was true, but to show you that your defence should receive all the credit to which it could be entitled. You shall now go to Bridewell fur a month. The prisoner —Well, I certainly am obliged to your lord 'h o other young men were charged with having picked gentlemen's pockets of handkerchietk One of them said it was quite impossible that he could be guilty, as he could not sec well enough to pick a pocket. The other said the streets were now so crowded that any body might be taken for a pickpocket, particularly as the tailors made the pockets so shallow that handkerchiefs were continually falling out of 'em. They were each of them committed for 14 days. LAMBETH. Julia Colter and Mary Sexton were charged with begging at the catholic chapel, St. George's-fields. Police constable 72 L deposed that he observed the pri soners begging near the chapel from eight to ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and on making an effort to take them into custody, they made their way into the sacred edifier, and by this means got away front him. By concealing himself from their view he at length secured them. The prisoner Sexton had been charged at this court, on a former occasion, with a similar offence, but was let off on her pro mising not to repeat the act. The prisoners, in reply to the charge, said they had at tended the chapel for devotional purposes ; but the con stable having sworn distinctly to both receiving alms, they were committed to prison l,r seven days. Julia Brien, a middle aged woman, with an infant in her arms, was charged with a similar offence to that of the other two females, and was also committed to prison for seven days. Mr. Joseph Harris, of Brook-street, Kennington, was charged with creating a disturbance, and using threatening language, in the shop of Mr. Joseph Buck, a saw and tool maker, in the Waterloo-roud. Mr. George Buck deposed that at about 10 o'clock on that ntorniug the prisonsr came to the shop and asked for his father. Witness told him that his father was out, and that if he had any nu,sage to leave he should deli ver it to hiss on his return home; but the 'prisoner declared he should nut kayo the house, and began to bully and create such a disturbance that a crowd as sembled round the door, and he (witness) was ultimately obliged to send for a constable, and give him into custody. He said that my father owed hint 238/. on some gambling transaction, made use of threatening language towards my father, and said he should not leave the house until he had his life or the money. Police-constable L, said that about half past ten that forenoon he was sent for by the last witness, and on going to Mr. Buck's shop he found a crowd outside, and the pri soner making a sitt‘iderable disturbance within, and, by the desire of Mr. Buck, jun., he tole him into custody. Mr. Elliott (to the prisoner)—You have heard the charge, what have you to say to it ? Prisoner—Well, sir, the fact is that shout eight or nine days ago I met Mr. Joseph Buck in the City, and on seeing me he said I was the very person he wanted, and that he had been looking for me. Ile said the reason lie wanted to see me was to Nick for him a horse called " Vain hope," for the Liverpool Steeple Chase, for one or even two thousand pounds. Under his instructions I backed the horw for him to the amount of 238/., and told him the par ties with whom I made the bets, and the odds I took, and for this he expressed himself ntost grateful, and invited me to his house to tea ; but finding that the horse " Vain hope" had not won the race he now refused to pay me the 2381. 1 had made myself liable to pay, and which I must pay to those persons at Tattersall's with whom I made the beta. Feeling annoyed at the lasition in which I wan placed, and knowing that I have no alternative between paying this large sum, or being pointed out as a cheat and defaulter if I du not, I may have said all that has been complained of. Mr. Elliott—What are you ? l'risouer—l am what they call a sporting man, a book maker, and make bets on horse racing, both un my own account, and on commission. Mr. Elliott—You must enter into your own recognis.anees in 201. to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour foe one month. The preconer entered into the required bail, and was at once di.charged. RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY AT LIVERPOOL. —On Saturday a man named Thomas Watson, the keeper of a beerhousu of doubtful character, in Ilanover.street, Manchester, and a well-known thief named Carney, were brought up, having been apprehended by Inspector Bates, of the detective force in Liverpool. The inspector having reason to suspect that Watson's house was the repository of stolen property, proceeded to Manchester, where he ob tained the assistance of Inspector M'Mullen, of the Man chester police. In one of the rooms of this house, which was locked up, the key being in Watson's possession, they found a large quantity of props rty, including a considerable quantity of leather for soles and "uppers," twelve barrels of mustard, boxes of cayenne pepper, mustard seed, a churn, a bag of glue, some shears, some pewter mea sures, a number of wire tire-guard, several circular saws, • large quantity of new lead piping, some hand saws and plane, several new huts, four silver watches, a quantity of twine, two violoncellos, a quantity of sash-curd, two gallon bottle* containing whisky, three boxes of col lars, and three of worsted cuffs, the rib of a whale, • large tub, a bag of iron rivets, a garden engine (Bead's patent), five thermometers, a telescope, a black silk handkerchief, a quantity of spices, • smith's anvil, a bag of linseed, some sieves, come sealer, • number of blacksmiths' tools, a hag of screws, and tome cloth and restinp of which Bates was in search. They also found a large book in which were en tries of the parties from whom all this property had been purchased, with the sums paid for it, and from this it appeared that the prices paid by Watson for the several lots was not one-quarter of their real value. Ile also appeared to have done some business as • money-lender, for in one of the hats was written, " Lent 2a., to be paid on the 22nd of February, or to become my property," and the silk handkerchief was marked 2s. Oid. The four watches, too, he said had been le ft with him as security for money Iwhich he had lent ; hut he did not know the parties vrlio had left them. His wife was seen to hand something to the servant girl, and on examination it proved to lie a hag containing twelve sovereigns, and a quantity of foreign coins was found in a room upstairs. Watson was taken into custody, and removed by Elates to Liverpool, together with the property supposed to have been stolen from hence. The remainder of the property was removed in carts to the Town-hall, Manchester. 'the police have no doubt but that much of this property has been obtained by means of fraudulent orders, in SSSII111(Ii names. The prisoner Carney, above alluded to, was subsequently taken into custody. In spear Batt . o, on Saturday, produced a quantity of cloth and some waistcoat pieces, part of which was identified by Mr. Swanwich as having been stolen from Mr. Earp's esta blishment in July last. A waistcoat piece was also spoken to by Mr. Crenshaw. Mr. Clough asked for a remand, stating his conviction that much of the property found in Watson's possession was the produce of robberies in Liver pool, for instance, about 1001. worth of leather was disco- vered of the same description as SOW stolen in Liverpool some time ago. Mr. Davenport, who defended the pri soners, said that the property had been deposited with Witt wm by Carney, who hat him 51. upon them. Watson had also lent Carney 11. on a chest of drawers. Watson, when called upon to speak for himself, corroborated this state ment, and said that on his expressing surprise that Carney should be in possession of such " stuff, the latter said it belonged to a friend of his, and that he would fetch it away again in two or these months. Carney, however, was not so Judicious in his statement. Turning to Watson, he said, " Ton said you would lend me it. on the property, which you knew very well could not be mine—a working manlike me." Both prisoners were remanded till Wednesday.— Limped Albion. SUICIDE IN TILE LEEDS GAOL.—On Saturday last a prisoner in custody at Leeds destroyed himself whilst la i bouring under an attack of temporary insanity. His name i 'SAS George Midglev, supbo, and 23 yearsof age. The i s prisoner was brought in custody on Saturday on the charge of having stolen nine sheep from a field at Addle, ! near Leeds, and the evidence being clear against him, he was committed for trial at the assizes. Soon after his eom i mittal his father and mother visited him in gaol, and spoke somewhat harshly to hint, threatening to discard him for his conduct. In about an hour afterwards the police officer, who was to convey him to York, went into his cell and found him suspended by the neck from one of the window stanchions. Instead of a rope, he had used a scarf which he wore round his neck. Tke eorouer'sjury .:pressed their opinion that the man had committed the rash act whilst la boozing under an attack of insanity.

On Tuesday evening about eleven o'clock, the weather being of the same nature as on the 19th of last month, when the last lunar rainbow was seen, namely, a strong wind drifting rain from gather ing clouds in the west, and a comparatively clear sky in the east, and the moon having risen, and hanging in the south eastern heaven, • complete bow was formed in the north western quarter of the heavens. The moon being a little less than full, and slightly obscured by a thin veil of strato cirrous cloud, the bow was not brilliant, though prismatic colours were observable at either extremity, the centre part presenting a clear pearly light. The lunar rainbow is sometimes confounded with the halo, from which it differs in being much more rarely seen, the relative position of the moon and state of the weather, necessary for its production only occurring occasionally in the course of perhaps three or four years, although it so happens that two have been seen already in this year.—Edinburgh Courant. SERIOUS ASSAULT.—On Tuesday a most cowardly assault was made by George Osborne, a lurcber to Lord Harborough, upon Mr. Musson, of Melton Mowbray. It appears • that Osborne came to Melton to prefer a charge of poaching against two young men, and was asked by some one what he should say when he got before the magistrates. His reply was, " I can say and awear any mortal thing ;" and, when expostulated with for such a declaration by Mr. MllllOl3, he pulled out alife-preserver and dealt a blow at Mr. Musson, who was fortunate enough to parry it off with his arm, but not without receiving a severe Wow, which, if it had caught him where Awes in tended, would probably have kill d him ou the spot. Mr. Musson closed upon Osborne, and, after a severe struggle, succeeded in taking the deadly weapon from him.—Lewes terehire Mercwry. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 4, 1851. MARKETS. Mem. 11.
