L done in 1 moment. and was not attended with• vere nein ; but I in every painful case I use ft, and unless it produced insen sibility 1 would go on repeating it to double the quantity in this ease, and more if it were necessary. A ewe occurred lately so the infirmary where a great deal of blood flowed during the operation, which was a very tedious one, • and chloroform was repeated during the operation without any bad result afterwards.—Robert Mortimer (lover: I am a sureem, b t practise ss a physician, and was formerly lecturer at the Menioal Scbool in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I have heard the evidence of Sir John Fife, and fully agree with it. Having beard the evidence of Mr. Meggison, and the parties who were present when the operation was • performed under which the deceased died, I em of opinion that the after-treatment to restore life was proper under the circumstances, and in aecordsuce with the views of the highest medical writers. I think chloroform is safer in largo operation., where there is a great loss of blood, than in smaller operations. I have examined the chloroform, and find it pure. I consider chloroform more dangerous than ether, and that has hien my opinian from the first. The effect of the chloroform ..111 depend much on the con stitution. Theta is a case rc ported in the MI &col Journal' of last Friday, in which half the quantity of chloroform em ployed in this case was wed, and produced very serious effects. Previous to the present case I should have had uo hesitator' in using it ; chloroform is in use all over the kingdom. The coroner thin addressed the jury, briefly explaining tho law of the case. Tho jur y then retired, and after a few minutes absence returned with the following verdict We are unanimously of opinion that the de cease I. Hannah Greener, died from congestion of the lunge, from the effect of chloroform, and that no blame can be attached to Mr. fdeggison, or to his assistant, Mr. Lloyd." .n.s.• o R 9 SERIOUS ACCIDENTO FRom THRESHING MACHINES. —A youth named Tabert being engaged at Kingston a few days since in tending a threshing machine, had his smock caught by the revolving rod, and before the machinery could be stopped he was whirled round see, ral times, receiving numerous severe woun-in of the head and a bad compound fracture of the left arm, besides other injuries. A few days peeviotmly a female named Coleman, occupied in a similar way at Hatch, was caught by her gown and carried many times round tne machinery, presenting a dreadful spectacle to the spectators before they were able to stop the machine. Her let shoulder was dislocated, and the tam seven ly wounded. Another accident occurred at Hatch only a few weeks since, much in the sumo way. Persons ought not with loose garments to engage in the hazardous employment of at tending a threshing machine. THE DuNDRY MURDER.—The examination by the magistrates was continued on Wednesday. after our corre spondent's paled was despatched.—P. C. Bees, of the Bristol detective force, deposed to having made an examination of the stable. Judging from what he saw, he was of opinion that the murder was committed its that place ; that the de. eeased was tint struck by the door, and fell with his head near to the wall, the blood upon which had evidently spirted from the wound, and that the body was afterwards dragged under the manger.—P. C. Hurford, of the police, stated that Cie of blood he had detected on the ladder wt re on thr under aide. A person going up the ladder with Koody leads could not have caused stains in the situation whey • they were fautitl.—The solicitor who appeared for the prow s he had no turther evidence to oiler, and the prisx:e.ts were remanded. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. MANSLAUGHTER IIY A QUACK DOCTOIL—An in gest:. touching the death of James Fox, of Coleford, was resumed on the 21st ult. It was proved that the deceased had aitTered from a tumour in his thigh; and that he hail been last treated by a person named John Ravenhill, farmer and horse .noc'or, who caused plasters to I,e applied to the part eiavaseil. The effects of these plasters were continued sloaihtog, followed by violent beemerrhage. The death of the deceased followed soon after these symptoms. Haven hii:. who, with his wife, was present, having ori ginaiiy been summoned as a witim , s, was altered the opportunity of saying anything that he might deem proper. He, however, declined making any statement. The jury, after some hours' deliheration, returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against John Ravenhill, who they con sidered criminally cu'pahle, for prescribing and applying the strong caustic plasters to the tumour on the demoting thigh, which occasioned sloughing, Lmmorrhage, and death." He, therefore, stood committed to take his trial ou the charge of ntaushughter—The deceased's widow, in reply to a ques tion, told the coroner she considered her husband died en tirely through natural causes. This, she was told, was to. tally at variance with the evidence of the three medical gentlemen, the appearance on post mortem examination of the bady, and the facts elicited in ,he examination of herself and other witnesses.

Jana. BEETIIOVEN.—The rienna Musical Oaretts has published a document which will not be overlooked in fu ture biographies of this illustrious musician ;—a letter writ ten by him, and commucicated to the 'Wye journal by a gentleman of Vienna, who possesses a rich collection of au teraphs. It was addressed by Beethoven in 1807, to the ofticia board of direction of the court theatres, and shows what was the composer's situation in the place of his abode, at a period when he had produi Fidelio," " The Mount of Olives," and other masterpieces ; when be was in the 37th year of his age, uni iu the zenith of his powers ; and when hie fame had spread over Europe. He sets out by alluding to the difficulties which prevented him from devoting hint telt entirely to his art, so as to develop his talents and bring them to the degree of perfection which ought to be the ob ject of every true artist. He mentions the reputation he had pined by his works in foreign countriet, where he was assured of a cordial reception, and of a lot suitable and proportioned to his talents ; but he expresses his reluctance, from various motives, especially the patriotic feelings of a German, to abandon his country. lie then proceeds thus, " Before executing the design he has adopted of quitting an abode which is dear to him, the undersigned wishes to attempt a atop suggested to him by Prince Lob kswi z. From what has been said to him by his serene high ness. he is led to believe that the direction of the court theatres would be disposed to engage the undersigned, on anitat, terms, for the theatres under their administration, so as to assure him of on honourable independence, favour able to the cultivation of his art. As the intentions of the direction corn spond entirely with his own vi, ws, he takes the liberty to intimate his willingness to accept such an en gagement, on the following conditions i-1. Ile engages to write every year a grand opera, the subject of which shall be chosen by the direction end himself jointly; in considera tion of which he dull have a salary of 2,400 florins (about 240'. sterling) per annum, with the receipts of the third representation. 2. He engages to furnish annually, with out remuneration, art op. retta or divertivement, choruses., or occasional pieces, according to the desire and want., of tie direction ; and he hers, therefnre, that they will not hesitate to allow him a benefit concert every •; ear in one of the theatres. When it is con sidered how much time and labour are required for the com position of an opera, while it excludes every other serious occupation ; when it is considered, that, i,i other places, the author and his family have an intereet in every repre- mutation, and that the mecum of a single opera may make i the composer's fortune ; and when it s c 'widen:a, that the high prix of the necessaries of life makes the at list's position a hard one at Vienna, while, on the other hand foreig; countries are nprn to him; surely it will not be thought that there is anything immoderate in these conditions." He concludes by begg:ng that the dir ctioo, sehetherthey accept this propewal or not, shall at any rate allow hint an annual concert. The proaosal, though mode in consequence of an overture received by him, was declined. Two year* after wards he was offered, by Jerome Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, the situation of Kopellese•ster at Cassel and was about to at. :ept it, when thri o Auo.eian vendee., the Archduke Rudolph and the Princes Lo'okosritz and Kinsky netted upon him an annuity of 4,000 &dins (4001. sterling), on the condition of his not It avin4 Vienna. This condition he fulfilled, but the greater part of hit annuity was won discominued, and at the time of nis death, in 1827, he WAR oily reeching on account or it 7ao flerins, er 721. a year. All this requires no comment. The fact that Beethoven, at a time wh, nhe was recognised throughout Europe as Ohs greatest of living murie:ans, was anxious t bin i himself to a life of sescre and engrossing labour for a pittance of some 3001. a year, and was unable to obtain such a boon. is a re markahle addition to the circumstances previously known respecting the patronage bestowed by the court, the aristo cracy, and the public of Austria upon their most illustrious artiits.

Ll:ln.—This case mime before the court upin a demurrer to one of the pleas in an action which has been some time pending. Mr. Peacock, in support of the demurrer, paid the plaintiff was the manager of Drury-lane Theatre, and the action was brought upon en agreement, which was set out in the decla ration. By it the defendant had engaged to sing twenty times at Drury•lane Theatre, either between the sth of June and the 21st of July, 1845, or between the 30. h of September and the 15th of November of the same year. The defendant was to choose either of those two periods, hut her choice was to Le made before the 31st of March. The plaintiff, on his part, engaged to pay the defendant 20 WWI of 60 louis.d'ore esch. The declaration then alleged that both of those m riede had e'ap ed, and that though the plaintiff had been ready and willing to perform his part of the ag reement, yet the defendant did not come and e.ng during either of those period', but refused so to do. The defendant plead( d that thoucb true it wee she had not chosen either of those two periods, yet, after the time of making her elec tion had elapsed, the plaintiff did not require her to sing at or during 4 ither of the said periods, whereby the defendant was discharged from the performance of the said agreement. The learned counsel said, that hero the defendant had had an tppentuttity of doing one of two things : to sing for 20 nights during either of two periods ; and, having neglected to give notice of her choice, she failed to sing during the second period alter having tailed to sing during the first. Lord Denman : Is there no one on the other side ? Mr. Peacock: I thought my learned friend Mr. noggins was in court. Lard Denman: I think this plea cannot be supported. The defendant engaged to come and sing. Judgment must he given for the plaintiff on this plea, unless Mr. noggins can suggest anything to the contrary. Judgment for the plaintiff. Niel Dams.—Before Mr. Justice Erle. WARD ANDANUTHER V. CASSE.—Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Addieon, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser. j:ant Shee, with whom was another learned gentleman, were euunael for defendant. This was an action brought by Henry Ward, Esq., M.P., Secretary to the Admiralty, and Mr. L'.win, who are proprieters of the Weekly Chronicle, and st.em.printing machinists ' against a Mrs. Anne Cass', residing at lioreat's-place, St. Joan's-wood, to recover the suns of 501. for printing the Court Gazette and Fashionable Guide, of which it was alleged the defendant was the re gistered proprietor. From the opening addrees of the learned counsel, it ap a tared that the defendant had heroine proprietor of this publication in the month of May, 1843, and the plaintiffs undertook to do the printing, for which they were to be paid quar terly. They continued to de so down to the month of December, 1815, when the paper ceased to exist. The payments had been made from time to time, but not with great regu larity. The sum of 201. had been paid in the month of June, 1515, and 51. was now brought into court, so that in fact the amount actually sought to be recovered was 251., the balance of the account. Several applications were made by the plaintiffs between the months of June and December, 1815, to which the defendant did not reply. but in January, 1846, en anonymous letter wasrectived by the plaintiffs, which was ev;dently the composition of the defendant, and in which it was said that thu lady who was the former pro prietor of the Court Gazette and Fashionable Guide had discontitAnd to be so in June, 1815, and that she considered herself not liable for any demands up .m the paper after that time, as the plaintiffs had rad notice of the change in proprie torship; that the writer, moreover, considered the applications for payment were exceedingly impertinent ; and that in fu ture, if any more were made, they would be consigned to the contempt the y deserved. On behalf of the plaintiffs, Charles Barday was celled, who etated that he was manner of their printing machine, and that he had machined the Court Gazette from some time in 1813 down to the time when it expired in December, 1845. The usual circulation was about 650 per week, and the charges of the plaintiffs were fair and reasonCile.—The next witness called was Mr. Foot, the clerk and collector to the plaintiffs. He Paid that the payments of Mrs. Corse were at first rather irregularly made, being 61. or 71. at a time. The defendant become et length se far in sneers that he called upon her at her residence, and said unless the plain tiffs' claim was paid up they could not print the Court Gaz.tte any lotger. She then u.ade a proposal to pay a weekly sum of 11., through her publisher, Mr. Abbott, of THE EXPRESS FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1818. done for 21.—The Under-Sherif having briefly: summed up, Oa s jury assessed the damages at 201. Catherine. street, Strand, and she sent down a cheque of 201. to ply up the arreare, but failed to pay the 11. a week as she had promised. Witness then wrote several letters to the defendant. eddreasing them to her at her residence, but no replies were sent. On cross-examination he said he had called at the defendant's house about • dozen times. Had seen her more than once, but had never been informed that she had ceased to be the registered proprietor of this paper, although in conversation she had dte him know I am no longer the proprietor sai but she also said " Send me a polite note, and I will see you paid, as I am the proper party to apply ?dr. flatten, an attorney, proved the payments made by Mrs. Caine to the plaintiffs on account of the Court Gazette. Mr. Morgan proved that the paper had been registered at the Stamp-office, in the name of the defendant in 1843. A Mr. Holland, a compositor, proved calling en the defendant since the time at which it was alleged she had ceased to be the proprietor of the publication, and that after treating him to a discourse about the panic,:she paid him 21. which was due for labour done as a compositor on account of the Court Gazette. The defence set up was that from the 14th of May, 1845, the defendant had ceased to be the proprietor of the paper in question, and that on the day above-mentioned she wrote a letter to the plaintiffs infnrming them of that fact, and stating that she should not consider hereelt liable for any further demands against the Court Gazette. The paper then became the property of Mr. E. Hearn, a bookseller, carrying on business in tht Strand, but it had not been registered in his name till the 25th of the following June, owing to Mr. arn not being pre pared with the necessary securities, which must be given on a paper being registered at the Stamp-office. The sum of 201. had been paid, and 51. was now in court, which coveted all charges up to the 2.5 th of June, the time at which the liability of the defendant ceased. In support of the defendant's case, Mr. Abbott, the publisher of the Court Gazette, was called, who proved that he posted a letter to the plaintiff. on the 14th of May, 1845, from the defendant, in which she informed them that she had ceased to be connected with the paper, and that on the 25th of J une Mr. Edward Hearn was restere as the pro prietor, and himself as the publisher.—Mr. Jastice Erie, in summing up, lett it to the jury to say whether they were satisfied that the defendant had discontinued to be the proprietor of the publication in question at the time alleged. If the assignment between the defendant and Mr. Hearn was complete, why was not Mr. Hearn called who could have proved that fact ? It certainly was odd to find that the plaintiff* should have gone on pressing the de fendant for payment when they knew that she was not liable. However, it was for the jury to decide on the evi dence before them. The jury immediately returned • ver dict for the defendant, adding that they considered her lia bility terminated on the 26th of June, 1845. LEVY O. JACOBS — Mr. Serjeant Allen and Mr. Gray were couusel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Chambers, (IC., with whom was Mr. Huddleetone, appeared for the defendant. This action was brought by a Miss Levy, daughter of • de ceased priest in the Jewish synagogue at Bristol, for the in juries she had received from being knocked down by • lines, and cart driven by one Judah Green, • see vent of the defendant. From the evidence it appeared that nit the Bth of January, 1847, the plaintiff, who obtains her living by covering parasols and umbrellas, aas in Petticoat lane, and that the defendant'. cart kneckid her down, cut her face, broke her nose, and otherwise injured her, so that she woo w.able to do any work for ten weeks, and obliged to he under medical care during that time. On the defendant being waited upon the same day by the sister of the plaintiff he expressed his regret at the ouurrence, and stated his willingness to meet any reasonable offer for compensation, tut he hod not kept his word; hence the present action. Oo the behalf of the defendant it was urged that the whole matter was purely accidental, that the defendant had always been willing to keep his word as to offering compensation, but that the plaintiff had thought fit to come into a court of justice, hoping to excite the commiseration of a jury, and get an unrea-onlibile allowance.—Mr. Justice Erie briefly hummed ttp, and the jury returned a verdict fur the de fendant. COURT OF EXCISE. Before T.Slarrisoa, F.eq., C. J. Mules, :sq., and Charles Rots, F.K. TIN QUINN V. HENNEOK. CONVICTION or A 111 ANU FACTUREIL—This war an information against Henry John Rebbeck, alias Johnson, of No. 27, Lamb-street, Bpitallields, charging him with carrying on an illegal soap manufactory, and also with removing and depositing the soap with intent to defraud her Majesty of the duty thereon.—Police-Serjeant H 15 deposed that on the 22nd of October last he received information of a fire having broken out at No. street, Spitalfields. On proceeding to the place t he found the back door open, and a ladder raised against the first floor beck window, and he got in so no ingress, could be had by the shop-door. When he got into the room he found two police-constables present and other persons. In the centre of the room was a large wooden frame containing some hot liquid, which he believed to be soap. The fire having been got under, he gave directions to police constable H 178 to stop there ss hileilhe went to acquaint;the district excise super visor; who with witness went to the house and found every thing just in the same state as they had been left. Witness was then ordered by the supervisor to go to a house in the Olobc-road. The name of "John Service" was over the shop door. Defendant answered the door, and said that hr had pre mises in Lambeitreet. Witness informed him that a fire had broken out there. The defendant and his wife shortly alter left the house. Having entered the house in Lamb-street, Mr. Hughes, the supervisor, came Li...yard and sold, "You are one of the Rebheeks ?" Defendant replied, "Yes, I am" Mr. Hughes remarked, "How iv it, then, that the name of Henry Johnson is over your door ? " and he said the reason was, that he was an uncertificsited bankrupt. Mr. Hughes tten went int* the shop, where he found a quantity of soap, which he said he should seize. Mr. Hughes wished the defendant to accompany them to the premises in the Globe road. They all accordingly went thither, and, on reaching the house, the defendant said e e had not got the key. Wit ness reminded Min that he had locked the door when he left, and put the key in hie pocket, and that his wife bad got it if be had not. The key was then produced, and the door opened. They went into the cellar under the shop, where, in a recess, they found a quantity of soap (produced), which the supervisor seized. On their return to the shop, they found more seep. An invoice was asked for, hut none was produced.—The Court, after a abort consultation, fined the lefendant in the penalty of 3001 , with the condemnation of the soap. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD cootie.—llefore air. Indere Coleeidge. FOROIRT ON THR RUSSIAN flovianNMSlNT.—The pri soner., Aar:mean, Frisclebarg, Muscovite, sad Keene:in, who were convicted on the previous day of attempting to forge notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia, were placed at the bar, and sentenced—Muscovitz and Aaronson to he kept to bard labour for 18 months, and Friedeberg and Kauff man were ordered to be transported fur 10 years. FORORRT ANn Bloame.—J. Byron, 24, was indicted for forging and uttering an order for the payment of 911.105. 4d., with intent to defraud Messrs. Roberts, Curtis, and Co , the bankers. The prisoner was a clerk in the service of Mr. IL Willis, a merchant in Old Broad-street, up to the Mat of Auxest last, when be absented himself on the plea of illness. On the Itch of September, a cheque for 911. 10s. 4,1. was pre sented at the banking-house of ICBM. Roberts and Co., pur porting to be signed by Mr. Willis, and the amount was paid by two notes of 30L and 401., and the rest in cash. From the mode in which the cheque was drawn, it was evidently written by some person well acquainted with the manner in which the business of Mr. Willis's establishment was conducted. The two notes were, immediately after being paid for the cheque, changed at the Bank of Euglaud, the 501. for so vereigns, and the 401. for eiett five pound notes; but none of these were traced to the prisoner It was shown, however, that a signature written at the back of the 501. note was in the handwriting of the prisonei ; and the prosecutor and another witness swore positively that the writing in the body 'of the forged cheque was alsi his ; and in addition to these circumstances a young woman named Harriet Little, who was the prisoner's sister in-law, stated that on the day the money was obtained at the Bank of England, the prisoner &bowed her a bag, which appeared to contain a considerable aura of money, and told her, at the same time, that he was going into the country, and en the 13th he set off for Newcastle, at which place he was taken into custody.—The prisoner, at the close of the case for the prosecution, desired that a wanes, named Anne Biesett might be called to speak in his behelf.—A, young woman accordingly got into the witness-box, but before she was sworn Mr. Bodkin asked her if she was not married to the prisoner ? She replied that she was.—Mr. Bodkin submitted that the evidence of the witness, under these eirennastances, was not admissible.—Mr. Justice Col, ridge recalled the prisoner's sister-ins law.who stated that the pr is married hersisuir flee years ago. The learned judge said Oiat as this was the cast the second ceremony was not legal, and the wi'ness Bissett might therefore be examined.—She declared that on the day the cheque was represented to have been uttered, the priiioner was ill in bed, and that they had no money in the house either on that day or the following one. She also said that being in distress they resolved to go to Newcastle, where the prisoner expected to obtain an engagement as an actor, and they said their clothes and furniture to obtain the means for perfuming the journey.—ln order to answer this evi dence the witness Harriet Little was again recalled, and said that on the 11th of September the prisoner gave her a sovereign, and on the same dcy told her that be was going to pay some duty at the Custom house for his master.—The prisoner, when rolled upon for his defence, said that he could only clear himself from the charge of for by admitting that he had committed another offence, that ,if bigamy. The truth me, that after he bad been married for some time to his first wife, they became die tressed, and his wife and their two children went to Hull to live with his father, and during their absence be became acquainted with the second wife, and was imprudent enough to marry her, Some time afterwards his first wife was anxious to live with him, and he of course did all he could to induce her to remain in the country, and succeeded for some time, but shortly before the 11th September he was informed by some of the family that his wife suspected he Was living with another woman, and that she was deter mined to come to London and ascertain whether her sus picions were well founded. He could not face the conse quences, end resolved to go into the country, where he thought he could obtain a subsistence as an actor, he having already performed on one or two occasions at a minor the atre in London. At the time he went away he bad no money, and was obliged to sell his clothes to defray the ex penses of their journey, and he asserted that his only reason for leaving London, was his fear of being taken into custody for bigamy.—Mr. Justice Coleridge summed up the case, and the jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a ver diet of Guilty.—The prisoner was sentenced to be tran sported for ten yeses. MANFILAVOHTER ClTigiNgioH, 33, shoemaker, awl Joshua Kemp, 24, cabinetmaker, were indicted fir the manslaughter of William Ives. From the evidence of the witnesses it app bred that on the 24th of December, the &ceased, who was a poor labouring man, was engaged in sweeping the road at Hackney, when the prisoners ran against him, and on his inquiring the reason for such con duct, they abused him, and even:nally made a most brutal attack upon him, the result of which was that four of hit ribs, were broken. He was taken to his home, where it appeared he was subsequently attacked by mall-pox, that disease being latent in his system at the time the atta:k wall made upon him, but he recovered from that malady, and ultimately died from the effects of the former injury.— The jury. found the prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. tom ran". —Before Mr. Justice t:oltman and a Common Jur►. MACKINTOSII O. PURSFI.L.—FAI,II IMPNISONMENT.— Mr. Serjeant C. Jones and Mr. Mall appeared for the plain tiff, who was a coal porter, end Mr. Serjeant Kyles for the defendant, who wee the proprietor of the King's Arms Tavern, Eburyntreet, Pimlico. It app ared that the pisin• tilt purchased some spruce at the dtfendant'e tavern of the value of three halfpence, and tendered a half-sovereign in payment. The defendant objected to receive it, thinking it to be bad, and the plsintitf stated he had no other money, hut subsequently both silver and copper were found on him. ' The plaintiff was given in charge for attempting to pats bed money, and remained in the station-house all night. On being taken bef. re t magistrate he allowed a compromise, and the plaintiff revived 2s. Cd. from the defendant, and thy were afterwards seen drinking together. An attorney who had IN en retained on 1,-half of the plaintiff did not arrive in time for the hearing Wore the magistrate, and was no party to the compromise. After his arrival a fnrther demand of com pensation was made on the part of the plaintiff, which having been refused this action was the result. It appeared that the half-sovereign tendered by the plaintiff was at best a light one. It was urged for the detente that the whole affair had been settled by the payment of the 2s. fat., and that it was only an attorney's action.—The learned Judge left it to the jury to say whether the compromise in question was Made, and the plaintiff then satisfied with t►e sum he had neeived.—Verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Nun Pura.—Before Sir Y. Polio*, C. 8., and a Spinal Jury. Tess ATTORNEY-GENERAL O. ALLEN. LEOENIOIII FRAUD I'CON THE CITITO,I6.—The Attorney-Oeneral. Sir F. Thcsiger, QC. Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. J. Wilde, were counsel for the prosecution. The defendant conducted his own case. This was an information, at the instance of the customs department, to recover penalties for having un shipped and secreted a quinlity of tobacco upon which the duty had not been paid. On the 29th of September last, it appeared a bill of lading for two cases of a ropey match boxes, consigned to one Thompson, WES received at Hull, from Hamburg, by a general agent at the fen mer place. The defendant, who had formerly been an officer in the cus toms, and since had kept a warehouse, at llull, attended the clearing and paid the charges due in respect of the canes, whirls, after having been examined and passed at the Cue. tom-house, were removed to his premises. Some suspicion respecting the transaction having arisen, two men were appointed to watch him. On the fat of October they re moved a plank from the flooring over the wareroom he oc cupied, and were thus enaMed to see everything he did. They discovered him removing tobacco from the can. a repre sented as containing only empty match-boxes. Ile placed the tobacco thus taken out in smaller cases, which he subse quently had removed from his wareroom, for conveyance to a distant part of the country. They, however, did not escape the vigilance of the detective force connected with the cus toms department, and were seized immediately after their removal from the defendant's premises 7. he mode supposed to have 'oeen adopted to deceive the examining officers in passing the goods wan this: A secret mark was put upon one side of the case, by the consignor, so as to enable his agent or correspondent at Hull to know at once the side of the case that should be opened so as to carry out their views. I On one aide the tobacco would have been discovered if that happened to have been opt ned ; upon the other, there was nothing to be seen but empty match box• s, thus the un suspecting officer of the customs was duped. The defendant addressed the jury on Isis own behalf. He denied all guilty participation in the transaction, and stated that he had acted merely as Thompasn's agent. The jury, however, iund a verdict for the Crown, ascertaining the single value of the tobaceolo be 75f., to treble the amount of which the defendant is liable. MONEY MARKET. TauR3DAT EVENTNO. Daring the greater part of the morning there was I it a decided tendency to a further depression in the funds, and Consols were actually done at 88; for money and 1384 for account. One cause might be the heaviness of the French stock market yesterday, as reported by telegraph catty in the morning. A short time before the close of business, however, some pur chases were made, chiefly in Reduced Threes and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., for account, as it became subsequently understood, of the Bank of England, although the direct intromission of the Bank broker in the transactions would appear to hays escaped notice. Upon the fact oozing out, parties for it the rise began to purchase Consols more freely, and prices reascended in consequence to 894 tot, both for st money and account. The continued easiness of money, indeed, in the absence of adverse con ditious, would appear to be, if not altogether it in favour of a rise, at least of the main - I I tenance of prices within slight fractional diffe rences. Reduced Threes improved to 891 to I ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 901 to Z. Long Annuities, 9 to 1-16. Exchequer Bills however de -11 scended to 335. to 395. preminm. Bank Stock, 200 I t to 202. India Stock, 241 to 3. The decline in Ex- is chequer bills was naturally the result of the late ex- 11 traordinary advance, which tempted holders at low a. rates of premium to realise. In foreign securities the dealings were less active to-day, and the quotations generally underwent little alteration. Spanish, however, were rather in favour, at more full prices. The Fives may be quoted 21; to 21 ; the Threes, 32 to 1 . Portuguese, 26 to 7. Dutch o- Twand-a-I lalf per Cents,, telto Z; the Fours, tssl to I. Russian, 109 to 110. Chilian, 90 to 2. Bra zilian, 84 to 6. Ecuador, 3; to t. Mexican, 181 to 19. Since writing what precedes, and after the regular closing hour of the Stuck Exchange, some consider able sales of Consols were effected as low as 881, and is sellers, it is stated, showed an anxiety to do business even below that rate. An evening paper (the Globe) states that the di rectors of the Bank of England have been under the necessity of adopting coercive measures against some of the parties who became guarantees to certain amounts for firms which have since failed, or which were in embarrassments only to be surmounted through the assistance of the Bank, obtained and se cured by the signatures of friendly houses or capi talists. The statement is understood to be to some extent correct, but so far it must be limited to one or at most to two instances only. It is to be regretted that the executive of the Bank should have deemed it necessary to recur to legal measures in such cases at all. From Liverpool, the stoppage of the respectable firm of Jevons, Sons, and Co., extensively in the iron trade, unfortunately comes announced. The failure of Messrs. J. and 0. Campbell, West India mer chants, is also notified. The stoppage was in con sequence of the non-arrival of remittances by the last mail, but there is no doubt of Me ere Campbell's ability to meet ultimately all their engagements, which do not exceed 40,0001. Advice! from Carlsruhe mention that the Baden Chambers had resolved to come to the rescue of the three manufacturing establishments carried on under the management of the firm of Von Haber and Son 4, by guaranteeing a certain rate of interest for some }ears to come, the precise conditions not given, to the creditors on acceptance of the terms. The three esta blishments in question aro a cotton spinning and power loom weaving concern, a beetroot sugar works, and a machine making manufactory. But, it is to be ' observed, these are joint stock establishments, with many shareholders, many of them members of the Baden legislature. The guarantee, it is under stood, does not extend to the creditors of Von Haber and Sons on their own separate account as merchants and bankers, who of course must be left to agree otherwise about the settlement of their affairs.

Southwood Smith, Guy, Ryan, and other eminent scientific and medical gentlemen. The nuisance c mplained of existed in Hetfield-street, St. Luke's,where the sweepingsof the streets and all the rubbish and filth collected by the defendant's carte were deposited in heaps, the effluvia from which (much liquid matter helng put there t ,o) amounted to a nui-once of a nature to generate abease, and to produce deleterious effects upon the health of i.e!. inhabitants, not only in that locality, but in those quarters to which the noxious vapours might he carried in the atmosphere.

Finding that the streets they passed through were unlike those she had seen on a for.nerjourney, she called the conductor, but could not make bim bear, and consequently had no other course left than to sit still until the driver pleased to stop. He at length pulled up by the waterside, near Beat reel, and the conductor asked her to alight. She then told him that he had undert,ken to convey h , r to Alfred-terrace, and re quested him to do so, but he refused. She refused to pay, when the conductor threatened to send her to the police. station. Site still resisted his demar.d upon public grounds, and offered to go to the ttreinn.hou , e, which she did.— H.
