Mary Ann Small—Was in plaintiff's employ when he went to America, and since ; went over the house often. Never saw even a silver spoon. Mr. Bailey, foreman to Memoirs. liolteappel, in Long-acre, proved that a lathe Was ordered by plaintiff in May, 1849. It was to be sent home the same evening. I took it home and saw Miss Elam.

[These authorities were put in and read, anti ga-c Wilkins full power to act for him, to pay and receive monies, and commence suits if ne cessary.] Before he went sway he commissioned witness to try and borrow money for him. After plaintiff was gone witness sold the furniture, and brought back part of the stock and carried on the business. Did not send plaintiff any money after he went away. The business was lost. Afterwards plaintiff came back, and witness found him lying on the bed up-stain; he had no money, and he ad vanced him a few farthings. When he was going to prison he wrote to say he wanted to see witness and wonted some money. Did not send any. Gave up posseseion of the shop on '-'9th August, 1819. If' the pink paper is in plaintiff's writing it is disguises'. The first part, "August 20th," was decidedly his ; the whole resembles his, but still it is not his usual baud.

The autho rities were drawn by a persou of the name of Gordon em ployed by me, they were drawn with the view of his going to America. It was the elOth July when I found him come home. He told Me about his going on in America. I did nut believe a word of it. lle did not say by w hat rail he came. Ile would not give any account of himself ;so much an that it seemed doubtful whether he had ever been to America at all. lie made some remark about his having corne back faster than he went. Dill not say that his things were coming by the rail. He told me he had sold his guns to subsist on. Iliad collected Lanka small sums, hut sonic of the items of which lie had furnisSed the list he never called on me to pay. lie did not insist on my gishot up poseession, and I - did not refuse to do so.

This was an action — brought ;4;4;4 the &Pedant u • managing committeeman of a club that bail formerly ex isted under the name of the Colonial Club, to recover the sum of 96/. The circumstances of the cue were these: In the month of J une, 1312, the Colonial Club was greatly in debt, and on the nth of that month a meeting of the managing committee was held, and it was resolved that the runt of I,OOIJ. should be borrowed on the guarantee of the society. In pursuance of that resolution the 4,0001. was borrowed of the London and Commercial Bank. Thst loan nut having been repaid, the present plaintiff, the Karl of Mourottashell, had been sued Mr the money, and he bad been compelled to pay 2.400/. There were 3b members of the managing committee, 21; of whom only acted, and the plaintiff now sought to recover from the defendant one twenty-sixth part of the sum 2,4001. It had already been decided that the general members of the club were not lia ble Do pay anything in respect of the 4,0001. lent by the London and Commercial Bank. Several witnesses were called on behalf of the plaintiff, who proved the facts we huge already stated. Mr. M. Chambers, fur the defendant, contended that as the 4,100/. was borrowed upon the guarantee of the mem bers of the club, his client was only liable to pay his pro portion as a member of the club, and cot as a member of the managing committee. Ile had paid 27d. into court, which was all he was liable fo:.

The defendant had petitioned under the Protection Act, and was heard by Mr. Commissioner Law, who refused to grant his final order, and his case was adjourned sine die. Ile was arresteo on the 11th of May last year, and had been in Whitecross-street prison from that period. An application bad been made to Mr. Coen- MISSIOIIet Law, and he refused to discharge the insolvent. Therefore Messes. Lewis and Lewis, instructed by the governor of the prison, made an application to Mr. Justice Williams under the 28th section of the 7 and 8 Vic. cap. 96, by which it is provided that no debtor shall be imprisoned on any process for more than twelve calendar months for any debt contracted before tiling his petition in case the final Oral r should be refused, or the protecting order not renewed." The act is silent as to the court to discharge such a person, and the present being the first application was considered of some importance. Mr. Justice Williams doubted whether he could grant the application, but of er consulting Mr. Baron Parke, made the order, and the defendant was discharged out of custody. COURT OF B.OIKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. &rose Se. Contmcgniie Fonswists. Is as LIONEL. Oinnitittn. The bankrupt was a dealer in watches in King street, Holborn. 'lbis was the certificate meeting. Mr. Lucas opposed ; Mr. Warrand supported. It appeared from the examination of the bankrupt by Mr. Lueas, that this was his eighth failure, having been five times an insolvent and three times a bankrupt. One failure had arisen from some liabilities incurred on behalf of Messrs. Cochrane. Prior to his first inve.venev he bad been robbed of 60,0001. and had lust 100,0001.. Ile had been a acriveuer, and had taken to the stage as a profession. Having renewcil some debts, he had been arrested at the Adelphi Theatre. Under one failure a dividend of 13s. 6d. in the pound had been paid. In the other cues the debts were not large, and he was not aware that any dividend had been paid under them except a et ry small one in one or two instances. He had pledged goods, but not to a large amount. Upon being re-examined by Mr. Warrant' the bankrupt said that he had entered into an arrangement with Mr. Marchand, :lo opposiug creditor. Mr. Marchand had re presented that he was falling 300 or 400 gold watches a day, and had showed him a pile of that article as high es his head. Mr. Marchand had led him to believe that he would find bim a capital of 2,000/., and let him manage the busi ness, in the event of a partnership not being completed. He had told all the creditors that he was himself a poor man, and his present failure had arisen from placing too great dependence upon Mr. Marchand. Mr. Lucas urged that, although Mr. Marchand, knowing the bankrupt to be a man of excellent address and very clever, and endowed with great tact as well as talent, had believed that he might be instrumental in effecting a great trade in watchea, the transactions between them had not been as described by the bankrupt. The court had heard the bankrupt's statement with respect to his seven previous ' insolvencies, and would not, he was persuaded, grant him au immediate certificate on the present occasion. The debts were 3,0001., and the assets insignificant. His Honour said, that having been five times insolvent and three times a bankrupt, the bankrupt should have been exceedingly cautious. He had traded very reckleisly, and his cer tific a te would be suspended twelve months, and be of this third class only. LNSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YESTEEDAT. Scion TOs CAM Cbmarrtesopsn.

DERBYSHIRE COUNTY SESSIONS. CROWN COURT.—TronausT, JELT 3. Tux RECENT RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—THE Losu EATON CoLusiom. John Robson, charged with wilfully driving on the 20th May, at Long Eaton, an engine against a certain other en gine, the property of the Midland Railway Company. Mr. Wihuore said that the prisoner was charged under an act of parliament made in the third and fourth year of her Majesty's reign; and the section which this case came under Was UT of the same net. lie did not suppose that the defendant had maliciously run into the train, but it was quite evident he had neglected his duty. The company did not prosecute out of any vindictive feeling, but it was a duty they owed to the public to have a full investigation of the Case. &v.:eel witnesses were then examined, the principal of whom were the following: Thomas Tomlinson, the pointeman at the Erewssh North Junction, leading to Coding Park, said a passenger train came up between twelve and one o'clock from Nottingham. Robson was the driver. A coal train was also coming from Codnor Park to Leicester. He lowered the semaphore fur the call train to approach, and kept up the Faunal danger to the passenger train. The danger signal was up for two hours before the trains came up. He heard Robson's en gine whistle on leaving Long Eaton Junction, and saw it approaching, the danger signal being up. The collision then took place. Wm. Parker, superintendent of the goods department, went to the spot after the accident and noticest that the signal could be seen from the Long Eaton 'station. The prisoner also told him that he saw the signal but that his attention was directed to a ballast engine, which was ap proaching from Leicester. Ile also said that atter leaving the station he could not see the semaphore in consequence of some empty carriages on the curve. Toualinseu was recalled to prove that several of the pas sengers were injured. Mr. Denison then proceeded to analyse the evidence oil duced for the prosecution. lle was interrupted in his ob servations by the Court, who recalled Tomlinson, who in answer to question , -, said that hearing the trains approach ing he ran down the line about 50 yards with a red flag. He could nut ace the passenger train approaching, in conse quence of the empty carriages on the curve, and he sup posed that in consequence of them the driver could not see the semaphore. Mr. Denison thanked the court for the important facts elicited, and called attention to the fact that the prisoner Was kept in the company's service for Will, time after the accident had occurred, and continued driving on the same line. Mr. Wilmore—Because they could not get another. Mr. Renisen observed that the Midland Railway Com pany must be in a deplorable state of destitution if they could not obtain a skilful driver to take the place of the prisoner. He condemned the getting up of this case, as most disereditchle on the part of the company, screening themseleer by nut calling the evidence which they ought to have done. Some witnesses to character having been called and ex amined, The learned Chairman summed up the evidence. Ito concurred in the censure passed upon the company by the learned counsel far the defence with regard to Mr. Barlow, the engineer of the company, not being present to give evi dence. lie thought Mr. Barlow ought to have come and given his evidence; such conduct was &seeped and not the way in which a great company should conduct themselves towards the public. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict at Not Guilty. Till; FATAL ACCIDENT AT CLAY Cito , 43. John Thom/non, aged 10, railway guard, was charged with negligently omitting the performance of his duty whilst conducting a train, on the lbth of May last, at Clay Cross, on the North Midland Railway, whereby the liver of the passengers were endangered. Mr. Wilmore prose anted; Mr. Adams defended. Several witnesses were produced, who detailed the cir cumstances attaiding this deplorable occurrence. Their evidence was merely a repetition of that given at the length ened coroner's inquest which was held since the collision. Mr. Adams, in his address to the jury, said that what ever opinion they might form about the conduct of the pri soner, there waspot in court tied opinions as to the misma nagement of the company. In these gigantic undertakings and great monopolies it was necessary that the public tra velling by these iron roads should have confidence in the safety of the line, and this could only be dune by keeping their time re4dar, which had not been attended to on thin line. Ile contended that the company stood convicted of recklessness and irregularity in the despatch of trains, and that it was not the fault of the prisoner. The Chairman, in summing up, said it was quite clear that in this particular instance the guard hod nut time to go back the distance named in the rubs, and as it was ad mitted that the engine-driver has the power of recalling a guard on the engine being remedied, and that the guard heard the driver cull out "• all right," could the jury say that he had violated the rules ? The jury returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. The verdict in both MCA was received with clapping of hands by a number of guards and drivers who were con gregated in the body of the court. —Derbyshire Wu inside.

There were 30 parish appeals, 16 rate appeals, and '2 appeals against convictions, entered on the last. itAILWAT RATE AEPLALA. The learned judge on taking his seat on the bench read a report from Mr. Bodkin relative to the appeals of the Blackwell Railway Company against various parochial rates, which were referred to him. The report was to the effect that the learned gentleman was not then prepared to lay before the court his award, and with the convent of the parties asked the court to allow the cases to stand over until the 18th instant, with permission fur Mr. Bodkin to speak to the cases a few days afterwards should he not be fully pre pared by that time. The court made an order accordingly. THE POLICE COURTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WsMont Canty, 69, and John Tyler, 62, were charged with stealing from the branch establishment of the London and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square, a caah-box, containing two 5!. notes and an account-book, the property of the directors thereof. The depositions having been read over, the prisoners were folly committed. The prisoner Canty was then charged with stealing from tb• Oresvenor Arms, Belgrave-place, Belgrave-square, a lash bat containing 401., belonging to klrs. Mary Alien, the I lianalir Tha prosecutrix stated, that on the 15th of May last, the VasCanty came to her bar and called for a pint of por illse did not see him come in. He stood at the bar for some time. The bar door was partially open, and the pri soner walked in and asked permission to write a letter to a Mr. Lane, who he stated was an intimate friend of his. She allowed him to come into the bar, and he then inquired about a Mr. Webb, who was a customer of hers. Site replied to his enquiries, and he then told her that he always made his (Mr. Webb's) house his home when he (prisoner) was in town. A few minutes before the prisoner came in she had paid her brewer some money, which she took from her molt box, and which she after wards placed in • cupboard in the bar parlour, close by where the prisoner was sitting, and which the prisoner must have seen while he was standing at the bar. While the prisoner was iu the room she had occasion to leave for a short time, and on her return she found the prisoner gone, and her cash box, containing about 401., also. She saw no more of the prisoner until Monday last, when she saw him in custody. The prisoner was identified by two witnesses as the man who had been in the bar parlour, and who had seen him leave the house in a hurry. The prisoner was fully committed on this charge also. The prisoner Canty is one of the most remarkable persons of his class, and perhaps the only survivor of that peculiar and superior class of " receivers and " putters up" of bank and jewel robberies which existed in the time of the old police, and which is fast disappearing before the effects of the new police system. Canty has been known to the old police officers and to the new detectives for about 40 years. But his history is principally remarkable in the old police times ; a retired police officer who has had a very intimate acquaintance with him professionally having declared to the bench his belief is that Canty hod had not less than 600,0001. at property, consisting of jewels and bank notes, through his hands during the last 30 years. Some of the trifles in which Canty has, more or less, been concerned or privy to, are the 50,0001. bank notes and bill robbery at Messrs. Rogers and Co. He admitted very recently to one of the detectives that be had all the notes in his possession for 18 days. Ha was also concerned in the well-known Custom house robbery, in which booty to the extent of 40,000!. was obtained. The robbery at Sir John Pinhones bank was " put up" by Cauty, the robbery having been effected by his companion Jackson, since transported fur a robbery at IL Pancras Workhouse. The Andover mail robbery and As Both bank robbery also had the benefit of Cauty's ex- perience. It would make a little volume to give even an outline of the cases in which Canty has been immetened, the particulars of which have been collected home papers hand in his possession and from Cauty's own commaniestiona Cauty has also declared to the police that the recent South ' Western gold-dust robbery was put up, and he knows that not a grain of the dust has been touched as yet. It is stated that Canty has not lived at the rate of less than 2,0001. a year for many years past. His appearance, though now verging towar ds 70, is of a kind to disarm suspicion, being that of a country gentleman rather than of an associate of thieves.

The half-yearly report of the directors of this corn pant states that " The traffic account shows the amount of receipts on the line at 6.59,50 , i1.54c., being 63,3411fi.86e. more than the preceding year. Other articles of revenue sistout to 4,65.58.98 c., being an increase of 1,17411. 77c. in feet year. The expenditure has not amounted to more thin 296,4618.90 c.. being 60,7498. Me. less than the year before. This decrease would have amounted to 68,01711 01c., if the expenses of the management of the company had been car ried to this account in the same ratio as was always dune in the preceding years." It further states that " The directors were enabled, with the concurrence of the commissaries, to make a dividend of 90c. per share out of the interest saved ,on the bonds of the 9,000,0008. loan belonging to the i com p an y . for the first half of the year; and they ars now again enabled, by the said interest saved, to pro pose the payment of 60e. per share for the second half-year. For the expropriation of lands on the section from Utrecht Ito the !CM, • rum of 371,05011. was paid in the course of last year in satisfaction of contracts previously entered into but now matured. Hence it appears that all pecuniary en gagements resulting from said contracts have thus far been punctually fulfilled ; there still remains to be paid a sum of 1 11,7711 i. 40e., which appears on the balance sheet under the I head of sundry creditors, which amount will disappear in the course of the present year. During nearly the whole year the directors have given their undivided attention to the subject of the junction of the Rhenish Railway with the German lines. It was incumbent upon them to guard and protect the interests of the company in relation to govern ment in thin matter; but at the same time it was their duty, u far as lay in their power, to obtain the removal of all the difficulties still pending on that sub ject between the Dutch government and that of Prussia. They would have felt themselves truly happy if it had been in their power to announce to this meeting the definite con clusion of the requisite treaty; but this has nut yet been accomplished. arious notes have been exchanged between the two governments, and in order that the company might be properly represented at the negotiations now pending, the directors; availing themselves of the powers vested in them by Art. lii of the Interior Regulations, delegated their authority temporarily for this purpose to the chair man and Mr. Hesleden. These gentlemen accordingly re paired telt:Him, but found that the resumption of the nego tiations was connected with conditions and the stipulation of points which were altogether foreign to the junction of the line of railway. The result of this circumstance is that the subject is being treated altogether in diplomatic form, and is negociated between the representatives of two governments whu have combined interests in numerous other matters with which the company is not directly interested, and iu the deliberations respecting which we cannot be called upon to take an active part. The afore said members of the direction did, however, exert their utmost endeavours to obtain the removal of all obstacles to a good understanding between the two government.. On the return of the chairman, Mr. Ilealeden still remained at Berlin, and having returned after a stay of about two months, he has again proveeded to the said capital. The obstacles which hitherto prevented the resumption of nego tiations are now removed. The Dutch government has sent a commissioner to Berlin, with directions to terminate the negotiations. The directors trust that a speedy and successful result will shortly follow, and it is their inten tion, so soon as is final determination shall be attained, to convene an extraordinary meeting of the proprietors, and there to make such propositions as will be required to be approved, in order to terminate the matter, and insure the execution of the works. Meanwhile, and with the view of avoiding all delay on their part, the directors hays in structed the company's engineer to proceed with the pre paratory surveys and other operations required for the con tinuation of the line, and for which purpose they have provided the said engineer with the necessary stall. The surveys have progressed so far that the direction of the line is marked off to the frontiers, and the elaboration of the plans is bring actively pursued: by these means everything requisite will be prepared, in order to set immediately to work on the continuation of the line. The directors would have been very willing to enter into more detailed particulars on this paramount subject, but they trust your meeting will appreciate their silence in re spect to negotiations in which the company could only take au indirect part. We close this present report by remind ing you that you will be called upon to elect two new mem bers of the direction in lieu of the retiring members, Mr. J. D. Landri, and Mr. C. W. Ilesleilen ; to nominate a presi dent and vice-president of the direction, agreeably with Article 2 of the Interior Regulations, sanc tioned by the Board of Commissaries ; and finally, that you will have to appoint successors for the re firing commissaries, Messrs.

In 1850, extra dock rent produced 1,2411.05. 24.; in 1851, 1,358/. 14s. ld.: increase, 1171. 13s. 11d. Thus, there is an increase in every department, amounting, in the whole, to 26,030'. 195. 3d. The total number of ships which Raid dock dues in Liverpool in 1850 was 20,457 ; 1851, 21,071: showing an increase of 611 in 1851. The increase in tonnage is much greater. In 1850 the amount of tonnage was 3,530,387 tons ; in 1851, 3,7.37,666; showing an increase of 201,329 tons of shipping in 1851. The increase of the value of goods imported is not so easily ascertained ; but the amount of the dock rates on the increase is 12,2991. 3s. 111, This, we should think, represents an increase of goods of thu value of a million sterling. In the year 1810, when the Dock Trustees applied for powers to enlarge the Queen's Dock, and to form the Prince's and Brunswick Docks, they so arranged the amount of the dues on tonnage and goods as to make each of them yield 30,0001. a year. Now, after a period of 40 years the duties on tonnage produce 128,0261., and those on goods 107,5011., giving a total of 269,0201., instead of 60,000!. This large sum is Collected from a much smaller per tentage on shipping and goods. lu 1848 the sum of 40,000/. a year of dock income was surrendered by a single stroke of the pen ; and other reductions, to a much greater amount in the whole, have been made at dif ferent times during the last 20 years. Had the rates which were expected to produce 60,000!. a year in 1810 been re tained without alteration, they would have produced from 350,0001. to 400,000/. at the present time. In oddities' to the dock revenue, derived from the numerous sources men tioned above, the Albert Dock warehouses will this year produce en income of about 20,000!., snaking the total in come of the dockeatate for the year 1851 upwards of 288.000 i. -Liverpool Chronicle. DESTBCCTION OF A COTTON MILL BY FIRE.- On Friday night last, between eleven and twelve o'clock , an alarming fire broke out at • mill at Hurst. So rapid was the spread of the Homes, that before half-past twelve the roof had fallen in ; and at a few minutes past . one a great part of the east wall fell in. The total lugs is esti mated at between 7,0001. sod 8,0001., the whole of which sum will be covered by insurances effected in the West of England and Manchester offices. The premise* were occu pied by Mr. L.

[For this clay's City News, see hth papt.] FRIDAY EYRXIXO. Some considerable alteration; occurred in the ; foreign exchanges to-day, the rates on several im portant places advancing materially, whilst a decline took place in some cases of minor importance. Paris , maintained last post's price, of 24.97; to 25 for , short, and 25.17; to 20 for three months. Amster dam found only few takers, and was therefore done higher, closing at 11.17; to;. On Hamburg the advance was still more decided; at first 13.7; was , offered, but much paper coming forward the rate 1 advanced to 13.7; to Discount going lower at , Hamburg, the exchange on London is expected to rise. Bills on Italy were much in demand, and again a shade lower. On Spain the demand was not great, , and the rates slightly receded. For Portugal the quota tion remained stationary at 531 to 2 both for Lisbon and Oporto. Tho most marked alteration was noticeable in paper on Austria, which was Dego- I • trated at 12.18 to 20 for Vienna, and 12.20 to 22 for Trieste. The exchange on London comes 12.6 from the other side, in consequence of the recently an nounced intention of the government to sell crown lands to the amount of 40,000,0001., and to adopt other measures calculated to improve the money market. That but very little reliance is placed in these flattering promises is fully proved by the cir cumstance that the currency of the country is still at a discount of more than 20 per cent. The rates negotiated were as follows: Time. Prleesnlecitiated. From To Amsterdam per X Short II& IND. 1111. 161ete. Dino Rotterdam Miunbent and Altana „ „ 13 I,co. 7p.c~1. 13mes. llrek.

The present quotation is If. per mille below that of Wednesday. Sovereigns have likewise receded, and are now '23f. 03c. The price of gold yesterday at Paris was 3 per milk discount ((new tar i ff rate); which at the English , mint price of 3/. 17s. !Old. per oz. for standard gold gives an exchange of 23.04, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 23, it follows that gold is 0.179 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By the latest advice's, the price of gold at Ham burgh is 4241 per mare, which at the English mint price of 31. 17s. 10 per oz. for standard gold gives an exchange of 13.41, and the exchange at liam burg on London at short being 13.1 , it Mllows that gold is 0.410 per cent. dearer m Hamburg than in London. By last accounts, the course of exchange at New York on London, Mr bills at 60 days' sight, is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 100 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 1.17 per cent. in favour of England. Upon taking into consideration the difference of interest and charges of transport, we find that the present rate leaves a considerable profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The public sales of colonial wool have been fixed to commence on the lith instant, when between 50,000 and hO,OOO Ixtgs will be offered. The Board of Trade returns for the month and five months ending June 5 afford little room for comment. The trade of the country remains steady at the high figures of last year, and the differences, whether of increase or decrease, are so inconsiderable as scarcely to call for notice. The total exports for the month are as follows: 1819 114:41 5,9.59,919 1851 5,961,393 Increase over V , 50 1810 The exports of cotton goods arc as follows: 1840 £2,102,375 18.50 1851 .... 2,480,430 2,631,2.31 Increase over 1850 This is the most remarkable head of increase. On woollens and linens there is a slight decrease; silks arc steady. The glass manufacture, emancipated from fiscal obstructions, is in a very favourable condition. Ex ports arc steady ; the imports of foreign glass are d‘ , . creasing, and likewise the supply of foreign glass re exported. fhe returns of imports and consumption likewise afford little room for comment. sugar and tea are slowly increasing; coffee recovering; cocoa steady. The total of sugar entering into consumption in the month was; 1849 1850 18.51 The consumption of tea was : 1849 4,203,927 lbs. 1850 4,568,999 „ 1851 4,693,543 „ The live months' returns likewise show a steady increase. The imports of corn for the month have fallen off, but the import of Hour is largely increasing. Half as much was imported in last month us in the whole year 1850. '1 he provision and live stock trade are not to so great extent. It is likewise to be presumed English agriculture is not quito in extremity, as agricultural supplies continue largely to extend. The returns for the five months are us follows : Guano. Bones. Tons. Tons. 1849 1510 1841 Other articles are : Oil cakes. Clover Seed. Tons. Tons. 1849 1840 1851 Flax-seed. Rape-seed. (lea.

G. C. Gorham. Through the instrumentality principally of the Rev. John llateltard, the vicar of St. Andrew's, Ply mouth, Wale years since a new church was built in Oxford street, Plymouth, and called Christ Church. In this church the Rev. U. F. Whidborne for about three years exercised his ministry, and was succeeded by the Rev. Richard Malone. On Sunday week, Mr. Malone having accepted a preferment elsewhere, took his farewell of the congrega tion i and the patronage being in the Rev. J. Ilatehard, who is well known as a sturdyopponent of the peculiar doc trinal and disciplinarian views of the Bishop of Exeter, he nominated the Rev. L. 11. Gray. In consequence of the sitting of the Synod at Exeter, Mr. (imp was unable to present himself fur examination by the bishop until Satur day last, when ho did so at Exeter, and was then questioned very closely as to his views on baptism. On this point his fell short of the bishop's standard, and of the standard of the declaration of the Synod and the bishop theretbre refused to license him. This was on Saturday afternoon : and, as Mr. Malone had left, it became important at once to com municate with Plymouth, in order that arrangetnents might be made for the service on the followingmorning. It happened that Mr. llatchard was in London ' and therefore could not be communicated with until Mon day. Mr. Gray sent off to F. Bone, Esq., R.N., one of the churchwardens of at. An drews, stating what had occurred, but no provision was made fur the service. Un Sunday morning the bell, as b e i li h u o r p ch h , ad bu rc t ie a c s ud th t e h y e cs e i rg irotic ym h a e n d , procured that morning, there atu*uhnue they would e e n n t t told d oothic, a c(co p t l . . uethltdeo Th b i e : bell was stopped, and the church doors were locked. In the evening the ltev. Mr. Wallis, one of the curates of St. Andrew's, conducted the service, and preached. The Rev. the Vicar of St. Andrew's not having yet returned it is uncertain what course will he taken. At the present moment Trinity Church, in Plymouth, is similarly situated; the 11ev. Hinton C. Smith, a truly able, energetic, and evangelical clergyman, having beet compelled to relinquish his charge of it, in c nsequence of ill-health, and the nomination to this church also being in the hands of Mr. Ilatchard. Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Ma lone were protesters against the synod.

In fact, they have nearly doubled the value of their imports under the in fluence of free trade. The imports of raw materials of manufacture and dycwoods are favourable,and generally most branches of trade are in a steady and improving condition. The navigation return is no less encouraging. Taking the figures for the five months, and adding together the tonnage inwards and outwards, we get the following results: Total Tonnage. English Tonnage. 1849 ....... 1830 18.1 ... The coasting trade retiwns likewise show a steady increase.
