IRELAND. Depute. Aram 7. As I anticipated the rumour of Mr. Dunne's in tention to resign his scat for the Queen's County has received a eattsfv•tory contradiction, and that also in the columns of the paper where it first obtained the publicity of print. The Freeman says: Ws have this day seen a private letter from Mr. Dunne, written to a friend and relative in Dublin, in which that geutlenaan states that he will not give soy reply to an anonymous letter, and will not contradict, through the volume. f the I ,, renstam, a rumnir nut autheutirated by a iiignature, but for the sati,racti4n of that friend he states in the :Dent ezplit it and pr: cite manner that the rumour ia destitute of all lossiidaaur.—in fact, he giv, s it the most un qualified and •atisfactiiry ci.utrartictima. The Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of St. Ger mmis honoured the Theatre Royal with a state visit last night, and were received iu an exceedingly cor dial ma..ner by a crowded audience, who greeted them with repeated and enthusiastic plaudits. Their excellencies dispensed with the customary escort of cavalry on going to and returning from the theatre. We must nut for some time look for any abatement le the emigration furor, which, indeed, would appear to be still on the increase, if we can judge from the statements in the provincial papers. A Waterford paper, describing the rush front that port, says: On Friday nearly 3t.ti left for America ria Liverpool by the Man steamer and net Sunday the ship Albert sailed down the rimy wish ',17 of our self-expatriating country men. tlw bone and .ioew of the land, bound fur New York. The scene at earwig between friends and relatives was of the most tevliog kind, and brought tears into the eyes of Esau,' charoterested spectators. WEST FLANDERS RAILWAY. Yesterday, the fifteenth half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, 61, Mootgate-street. Mr. W. P. Rif it stns took the chair, and observed that the report (which appeared in the Daily News of yester day) entered so fully into the present condition and pros pects of the railway, that it would be unnecessary for him to detain them with any lengthened remarks. The subject of the report divided itself into three heeds: the traffic, the cap. uditure, and the new road to be :wide and the road now in progress. Upon the question of traffic, he need only assure them that it was progressing gradually and healthily. Darien the last four months there bad been a small increase over the vale in the corresponding period of last 7 ear, affording a proof of the satisfactory prospects of their hue. With regard to the expenditure, he might Vann, the proprietors that it had been reduced to the lowest possible point of economy, and the working expenses had been brought down to 3181. per mile:per annum. It had been a matter of gnat disappointment to the directors that they wire unable to open the line between Courtrai reel Wervirq until the 15th January, but the shareholders would feel that th i delay was not attributable to a want of seal or activity on the part of the directors or engineer. In regard to the line now in progress between Wervieq and Ypres, he need may repeat what they would find in the report, that the works were proceeding very ;satisfeetorily. The increase in the receipts daring the last three 'months, in comparison with the corresponding period of last year, was MAU., or at Or" rate of 7!. per mile per week for the new line from Courtrai to Wervieq. This was oaf cient to show that although they were guaranteed a certain interest on this portion of the line by the Belgian government, they were nevertheless capable of earning it. With regard to the preference shares, it was understood that the interest upon them was to be paid without at all trenching upon the capital, and that the .5 per cent should be paid out of the interest arising on depolits, and out of the rates of ex change. The interest already amounted to 11,0331. 51. fed , and they had received on deposits and exchanges 11,0291. 9s. 6.1., so that in order to make up the deficiency they bad only been obliged to borrow W. 15s. 10d. In the neat half-year they woull have a larger amount to pay upon, but by that time they would have opened a fresh source of traffic, which would enable them to meet all the liabilities. By the arrangements in progress and in con templation they should be enabled to pay the interest with out trenching upon the profits of the old line or interfering with the capital. lla concluded by moving the adoption of the report. The resolution having been carried, a divi dend was declared of Is. 3d. per share; and the business terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman sad three tors. NUMEROUS SI AND LOSS OF A very dense fog prevailed along the Channel on Wedi.esdey =entire which occasioned a sad destruction of life and property. It came on about midnight, and eon tinued until an advanced hour of the day. Several vessels in feiiling their way for a safe anchorage got nearer inshore than they anticipated, and being unable to wear off, struck and became wrecks, several of the crews unhappily perish ing. Others, in keeping out well in channel, so se to avoid the dangers of the English coast, hugged too closely the French shores, and eventually took the sands. In this way a fine homeward bouuder, called the Junior, bound to Aberdeen from Callao, laden with a valuable cargo, caught the shore about 8 or 9 miles to the westward of Boulogne. Fortunately the crew succeeded in preserving themselves, but the fate of the ship, according to the last returns, is uncertain. In the same vicinity of coast, another British vessei, named the Isabella, Mr. Adds, master, bound to Lowestoft from Portland, went ashore and speedily became embedded in the sands. A fine schooner bound to London, called the Bavaria°, was wrecked on St. Catherine's, on the outside of the Isle of Wight, and only for the prompt services rendered by the coast-guard men, it is doubtful whether 'Tay soul of the crew would not have perished. She was thrown on the coast between eight and nine, when the fog was very thick. The sae efficen, on hearing of the casualty, were quickly on the alert, and aided in p in g theie on board. A more shocking catas trophe happened near Jersey to a Dutch vessel reported as the Gronigea, Mr. Meyer, master. She was making her passage along the Channel when she was overtakes by the foe. She endeavoured to run into It. Oweis's Bay, and in doing so took the rocks, became a total wreck, and, melancholy to add, the captain and six of the crew perished. Almost as lamentable a dis aster occurred off the neighbouring island of Guernsey. &arty in the m o rning. between 3 and 4, a French coaster, named the Trois Susanne,. belonging to Bordeaux, struck on a formidable roof of rocks a short distance to the west ward of Roguin Castle, and speedily began to Bkl. The crew instantly launched the boat, and all of them had just got into her, and were on the eve of pushiag off, when the lashing of the surf capsised the craft and threw the whole of the men into the sea; three, unfortunately, were drowsed, but the remaining three contrived to cling to the bottom of the boat, where they held for some hours in a most painful state of suspense ; at length about 9 o'clock they were observed by some boatmen, who gallantly put off, sad after much exertion sneeeeded in resetting - the poor fellows, who were much exhausted.

Epsom, replete with the most exciting reminis cenms of past ream seasons, his added largely to its repu tation by the success of this meeting. When first -onceived the project had to eneomter strong prejudices, and objec tions were raised on all sides. The undiseouraged spirit of enterprise which animated Messrs. Breton and Darling to inc:essed exertions, and the warm liberality with which the licensed victuallers of the metropolis substantially aided them in obtaining the means and appliances, have now per manently est .hlished the meeting in popularity. Dark lowering clouds had occasioned uneasy doubts re specting the weather, but before noon they cleared off, and the sun shone forth with power and brilliancy. Special trains were despatched in quick succession from London bridge station, and were well filled. The arrangements fur the safe at.d expeditions cony, yanee of visitors were complete, and were carefully carried out. The high fares, however, produced much grumbling and dissatis faction. . . . . . The grand stand and betting inclasure were very nu merously attended, the company comprising the principal professional speculators and high burn patrons of the turf. Each aide of the running ground was thickly thronged, but the display of vehicles was neither numerous nor g The varied prtgramme promised ample sport, and the expectations whQch it ezeited were most pleasantly rea lised. The proceedings commenced at 1 o'clock with the Trial Stakes, to which, on this occasion, unwonted interest attached. The entry included the names of Frantic, Bird on-the-Wing, Ephesus, Weathereage, and Hobble Noble; and the meeting of these turf celebrities was eagerly anti cipated. The withdrawal of Weathergage, however, occa sioned considerable disappointment ; still the race was re garded as one of peculiar importance. Hobbie Noble, the favourite, figured somewhat ingloriously; never once showing in front. The City and Suburban Handicap brought out a strong field, and produced an exciting contest. Ethelbert and Pancake ran a dead heat—an event of rare occurrence in such a race. It imparted additional and unexpected inte rest to the proceedings. In accordance with custom, the deciding heat was not run until after the other stakes had been disposed of. 6to 4 was betted on Ethelbert fur the second encounter, and he fully justified the partiality of his supporters. He waited upon Pancake mail near the stand, when he challenged, and, after a most interesting set-to, he beat her by a short head ; thus establishing in disputably the correctness of the running in the first instance. Twenty-one horses started fur the Metropolitan Stakes. The winner, Gadabout, was only introduced into the bet ting on Saturday last, but so numerous were the invest ments on her that she quickly advanced to a prominent position amongst the favourites. At Tattersall's on Mon day, and at Crortou Park on the following day, the outlay was something considerable. Although a strong prejudice existed against Contentment on Wednesday, he remained first favourite to the close of the betting. Ilia defeat occa sioned great disappointment. By the appended details it will be seen that, in the aggre gate, the number of competitors for the various stakes was, for the Spring Meeting, unprecedently large. The business was most efficiently conducted.

THE PERM—DA/IMM. This was an action brought by the owners of the late collier, Mill Hall. "gaunt the steamer Perth, belonging to the Dundee and Perth Steam Packet Company for run ning down their vessel on the night of the 16th of December, 18.51. The Mill Hall, a brig of 156 tons, was returning io ballast from London to Seaton Sluice, Northumberland. When off the coast of Norfo`h, and at about one o'clock in the morning, her look out observed a steamer approa, hing. Her green or starboard light was alone visible, and the mu:er 'opposing that she would therefore have passed clear, ordered the helmsman to keep the brig steady. When the steamer bad arrived within four or five times the length of the vessel her red or hub iard light was suddenly opened, and the green light closed. The crew of the collier called out " Steamer ahoy ! You're coming into us." The steamer, however, took no notice, and ran into the brig ; but the two vessels immediately afterwards swung clear. The crew of the Mill Hall finding their ship sinking took to their long boat, and in a quarter of en hour atter the brig sank. The steamer disregarding all the cries of the sailors, continued her course, and was soon out of sight. The muter and crew of the Mill Hill were afterward" picked up by a fishing smack, and taken safely into Cromer. The an.wer of the crew of the Perth, a vessel of 378 tons, was to the effect that they were on their way from Dundee to London with a cargo of general merchandise when the col lision occurred ; and that the Mill Hall showed no light, ond was alone to blame for the accident ; that the engines had been stopped immediately after the collision; and that after waiting ten minutes and hearing nothing of the other vessel they had supposed that no material damage had teen done, and resumed their voyage. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Twigs appeared for the Mill Hall ; Drs. Addams and Curteis for the Perth. The Trinity Masters, by whom the court was assisted, stated their opinion that the steamer was alone to blame. and Dr. Lushiegton pronounced for she damage with costa. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. Bs.rom Ms. COllllll/11110W HoLam,. IN DI MACKTALAR AND HAMPSON.—PILOCLAMATION OP OUTLAWRY. This was the adjourned last examination meeting in the cue of Delman Jas. )(scimitar and Charles Hampsen, who had carried on as extensive business as shawl-w.itrehOuse men, in Gresham-greet. The accounts have been already published. Their liabilities are near 40,0001. ; assets about 5,0001. At the last meeting Mackeller did not appear ; and it was stated that he was out of the country. Hammon was examined, and from the disclosures then made as to falsification of the books and other matters, application was made to withhold the protection. Neither of the bankrupts now appeared. Mr. Reed, representing the assignees, stated that the last sitting had been adjourned at the request of Mt. Linklater, on behalf of the defendant Hampeon. lie bad yesterday received a communication from that gentleman, stating that lampoon would not be forthcoming. Mackellar was not presmt at the former meeting, nor was he expected to aPP!ar• Mr. Linklater said he had had a letter from Hampton, _ _ stating that he had left London from domestic circum stances, and should not be present at the meeting. Whether he was likely to return at all was uncertain. Perhaps the severity of his friend might have driven him from the country. Mr. Reed said he should apply for an adjournment sine die; but the assignees could not allow the matter to rest there : they should apply for • certificate to arrest the bankrupts under the 257th section. Ile believed, despite the assertions to the contrary, that Blackener was is Aus trolls, and that Hampeon was on his way to join him there. The assignees, therefore, meant, in whichever of our colo nies the bankrupt' might be found, to bring an action on that certificate. He conceived that the set gave them power to do so. If bankrupts, by absenting themselves from meetings, could place themselves beyond the reach of justice, it would be extremely hard on the creditors. He submitted that both bankrupts bad brought themselves within the penal clauses, and that protection must therefore be withheld, and the wad certificate granted. The Commissioner—l do not think it necessary that I should adjudge the bankrupts guilty of any particular offence under the penal section. As this is an adjourned meeting for the last examination, and as they are not present, they must be proclaimed in the usual way, and of course no protection will be given. Then the assignees or any judgment-creditor may apply for a certificate under the 257th section. Mr. Linklater—All my friend would want would be a memorandum at the foot of the proceedings adjourning the bankrupts sins die, that the protection was withheld. The Commissioner—l should not adjourn them sine die, but order them to be proclaimed. Mr. Linklater—That would not entitle my friend to his certificate. Mr. Reed—Except under :the 256th section, the only power the court has of withholding protection is under the 162nd section; and then there must be an adjourn ment sine die. The Commissioner—lf a bankrupt does not surrender at his last examination, or any adjournment thereof, and no lawful excuse is submitted, he is guilty of a very serious offence. The time for finishing their examination is now ; they are not here—the examination cannot be going on after the bankrupts are proclaimed outlaws. Then, if the court refuses to grant them any farther protection, any creditor who has proved is entitled to a certificate putting him in the situation of a judgment creditor, and enabling him to issue execution. Mr. Reed—As it is really the intention to enforce these certificates abroad, I am anxious to guard against my not bringing myself fully within the clause. All I should want would be a memorandum, setting forth that protection had been refused. The Commissioner—lt seems to be explained by the alle gation in the certificate, that the bankrupt is not protected by the court. Mr. Linklater—But that would not over-ride the lan guage of that particular section which say.—" where the court shall have refused." The Commissioner—Very well. I shall put a memories. dam on the proceedings that, neither of the bankrupts bavine attended, and the examination having been sir *rued till this time in the usual way, the court refused is great any further protection. fame conversation followed as to whether the certificate Mudd la granted to the assignees, as assignees, or simply to aM of the creditors,—it being supposed that there was some technical difficulty in the way of the former course. His Honour said he saw nothly the act top t him granting the certificate to the eee. Without express ing an opinion whether there ong t to be a prosecution or not in this case, if the assignees thought there was really good ground for it, they ought to do it. Mr. Reed said their only difilculty was the bankrupt's being out of the country. The Commiseioner—That certainly may be a circum stance to prevent it. But assuming that the bankrupts are in a situation in which they can be prosecuted, and that there is • ease for prosecution, I think that in justice to their own interests, as well as those of the public, the assig nees ought to prosecute. The moral effect of such a pro ceeding is of far more importance than the punishment of fraud in any particular case. At three o'clock the bankrupts were proclaimed outlaws ; and an order having been made refusing protection, the usual certificate under the 257th section was granted to the earigness. Mr. Wallinger denied having any property of the bank rupts in his possession, or that he knew anything of the wheresboute of Jolt* Legge or Marshall, or any of the partit s connected with them. He was not solicitor to John Lfage. The bankrupt, Joseph Legge, still remsins in prison ; his brother has not yet been taken. Their liabilities are stated at about 1,4001. ; the amount of suet, has not yet been ascertained. IN 11 010101 HENNEL. Mr. Linklater made an application on behalf of the Bristol creditors of this bankrupt, who was an extensive railway contractor of Duke-street, Westminster, and else where, that the choice of assignees, appointed for the 16th instant, might be postponed, on the grouad that an appli cation, which they had made to 'Mr. Commissioner Evans for the removal of the proceedings to Bristol having been ' refused by the learned commissioner they had applied to ' the Lords Justices ; and that it was desirable that assignees should not be appointed until it was decided in which court the petition should be prosecuted. The question is expected to come before the Lords Justices of Appeal on Tuesday next, with the view of annulling or transferring the London petition. His Honour said he did not see any reason for adjourning the choice of assignees. Assignees were chosen by the body of creditors, and as a question was to be heard on Tuesday next before another tribunal involving in a groat measure the interests of the creditors. their chosen representative ought to be present, and the subject ought not to be dealt with by an individual creditor. Mr. Bagley, for the petitioning creditor to the London petition, resisted the application, as being a very unwise one. The bankrupts bad property in several places in Eng land, and bad creditors in France, at which place he had had enormous transactions, and it was necessary that as signees should be chosen as speedily as possible. The learned counsel submitted that the application mode by Mr. Liuklater should be dismissed with costs. His Honour dismissed the petition to adjourn, and ordered the question of costs to stand over. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-MTERDAT. Rgroas Ma. COIIIIIIIIIONII Pilaus. IN Till MATTZK OF CHARLES CHAPIIAN.—FETITION DISMIEdED. This insolvent, who was a cowkeeper, &0., at Park place, Kennington, applied under the Protection Act. Mr Sirgood, opposed for Mr. Low, a cattle jobber ; and Mr Dowse supported. The insolvent owed Mr. Low 33L for two cows, and gave • bill for the amount. lie forgot that the bill was made payable at Messrs. Williams', of Smithfield. He had pro sided the money for the bill, and the fist thing he heard of it was a copy of a writ. He offered the 331. which was refused, unless the costafwere paid. The action went on, and the insolvent petitioned the court. He alleged that he bad got rid of the money, and the losses he had sustained by the death of cows, prevented him from paying the law ex penses of the action brought oy Mr. Low. It was elicited from the insolvent that he had 101. when he filed his schedule, mad that 171. had been paid into court as surplus property. He was pressed as to his means of getting the money. Ile at first said he had it from friends, but on being closely pressed admitted that he had it by him, from his business. . • . . Mr. Sargood said, after such a statement, the petition could not stand. Mr. Commissioner Phillips acquiesced, and the petition was at once dismissed. THE EXPENSE OF TAXING OFFICE COPIES. Ina ease the subject of taking office copies of schedules as discussed. Mr. Sargocd and Mr. Macrae declared that the expense was very great—much mote than in bankruptcy, and credi tors avoided it as much as possible. Fourpenee per folio, exclusive of forms, was too much, and some of the schedules were very long. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said the price was fixed be fore ho presided in the court.

NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—Cumes, APRIL 7. Barone M. InTies Wieunux. THI MURDZY CASES. This morning his lordship ordered the following prisoners, charged with murder, to be placed at the bar: Harriet and Robert Thorneley, charged with poisoning the former husband of the woman, in February, 1847 ; Sophia Robinson and Catherine Hanley, for murdering the infant child of the former; Honor Gibbons and Bridget Get ray, for poisoning the child of the former woman. His lordship asked them if they . were provided with counsel, and on learning from the prisoners that they were not, because they could not afford to pay, he told them that the following gentlemen had kindly undertaken their defence : Mr. Macintyre in the first-named case, Mr. Brandt in the second, and Mr. Gifford in tke third. AITZWPT TO MURDIR. John Riley, aged 20, was charged with wounding Joseph Wadsworth, at Sutton, in this county, with intent to murder. Mr. Brandt and Mr. Horatio Lloyd were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Macintyre for the prisoner. Oa the evening of November the 6th, 1852, Wadsworth was returning homewards along the London-road, from Macclesfield market, and after he had walked some dis tance, prisoner came up to him and walked with him about three quarters of a mile. Prisoner then turned back, but soon returned, and commenced a most brutal attack upon the prosecutor. Prisoner put his left arm round Wads worth's neck and cut him Just above his throat. He then cut prosecutor's left ear, and holding down his head upon his breast, began to cut the back of his head. Wadsworth put up his hand, and all the fingers were severed. Prosecutor pleaded for his life, and the pri soner then robbed him of several articles, and left him. When prisoner was apprehended, a purse was found near his seat, which was recognised by prosecutor as his pro perty. A knife was also found in the possession of pri soner's brother, which Wadsworth likewise identified. Mr. Macintyre tried to shake the prosecutor's testimony, by proving that he had been to gaol once or twice, and con sequently was not a man of the best character. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, His Lordship remarked that this cue was one of the most brutal that he had ever met with. He ordered sentence of death to be recorded, observing that the pri soner would be transported for a long term of years, if not for life. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.—YESTERDAY. Boaz Ka. Arnica Ears. TRIAL FOR MURDER. We continue our report of the trial of Thomas Hackett, for the murder of Elisa Lee, by drowning her in the Re soles canal. Mr. Justice Erie having summed up, The jury left the court a little before four o'clock, and they remained in deliberation until half-past eight, when it was announced that one of the jurymen was dangerously ill. A surgeon was sent for, and shortly afterwards a communication was made to the learned judge, and the jury were brought into court. Mr. Justice Erie inquired if they had agreed upon their verdict, and they said they had not, and there was no pro bability of their doing so. Mr. Oldisg was then sworn—He deposed that he was a surgeon. He had seen one of the jurymen, and he believed that he was in a dangerous state of illness, and that further confinement without sustenance might endanger his life. The learned judge then addressed the jury, and said that, under these circumstances, they would be discharged with out giving a verdict. The prisoner was ordered to be detained, and he will be tried for the offence by another jury. George Bates, 20, was indicted for feloniously wounding Mary Ann Bates, with intent to murder her, the indict ment containing the usual minor counts. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. The court mourned at a quarter:past nine o'clock. THE POLICE CO URTS. MANSION-HOUSE. WORSHIP-STREET. Geovge Bevan, 29, described as a cigar maker, residing at 11, Satchwell-rents, Bethnal-green, was charged with an aggravated assault upon Ann Oishy, by which her life is in danger. Marsh, 215 11, said that on that morning, between four and five o'clock, while on duty, he heard cries of distress contiguous to the prisoner's dwelling, and found the com hlainant outside the house bleeding from wounds in the ead. She was in such a state of exhaustion as to state with difficulty that prisoner hod assaulted her with a shovel and poker, upon hearing . which witness forced the door, and found the prisoner in a partial state f iatoxication. At the station-house complainant mode a statement to the effect, that she was engaged to the pri.mner as a general servant, but was cohabiting with him. Her upper lip was cut open, and her left cheek and upper part of the head presented wound, of no ordinary character. It was deemed necessary to send her at once in a cab to the London Hospital. A certificate was now produced from the house surgeon there, purporting that her life was in danger. Prisoner denied having assaulted her beyond striking with the hand, but The constable informed the magistrate that he had noticed the shovel in the apartment bent nearly double. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner. John Kitchen, a young man of good connexions and re spectable appearance, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody . of Daniel Forrester, the officer, upon the charge of having forged a letter of credit for 300 1 ., with in tent to defraud Messrs. Saunderson and Sandiman, of King William-street, bill brokers. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullen, solicitors to the committee of bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Humphries for the prisoner. Mr. Mullens (examined as a witness) said—l was sent for to the house of Messrs. Saunderson and Sandiman, where I found the prisoner, and was shown a letter ad dressed to him from a respectable person, authorising him to call upon them for the payment of 3001. He stated that the letter had been received by him with directions to make the application ; but he afterwards went on his knees to me, and acknowledged that he had written it himself. The matter had been telegraphed, so that a very little time elapsed between the delivery of the letter and the de tection of the forgery. The prisoner was remanded. Mary Griffin was charged with having stolen several sovereigns out ',flier master's cash box. Mr. Green, of Bevis-marks, wholesale clothier, said, about six months ago I missed the key of my cash box, the lock to which was one of Chubb's patent locks. Since that time I never until this day saw the key, but my wife had a dupli cate key. We had frequently missed money from the cash box, and I marked four half-sovereigns, and deposited them along with 20 sovereigns in the cash-box, which I put into the cupboard where I usually kept it. On my return to town on Monday I found no more than the 20 sovereigns in the cash-box. Thu four marked half-sovereigns bad dis appeared. This morning the prisoner's fellow-servant, who slept with her, handed to me an old rag which she had found, and which contained amongst other property one of my marked half-sovereigns and the identical key which I had lost. Margaret Floyd, nunerymaid in Mr. Green's house, said —M is the duty of the prisoner to den the parlour, sad she Las access to the cupboard. This morning, at a quarter s well. Saks were rather dull. Wheat, 425. to 645. Bury , to seven o'clock, she went down stairs to liaht the fires. 29a. to 49e. Oats, 191. to 2.55. 4d. Beasts, 30s. to 375. She came back in a greet hurry and tux off the covering 1 of the bed. I asked her what she was looking for, and the replied for a white rag, and I then told her to look for it when I should be up. She assented to that, and went down stairs, and 1 found in the bed a ea,. such as she hud de scribed, and upon opening it I discovered four sovereigns and two half-sovereigns and two keys, one of which opened m muter's cash-box and the ether opened her own trunk. y I Immediately called my young mistress and gave her the property. The prisoner came again into the roam, and said, in answer to my accusation of her, that the money in the rag belonged to her, and that she had had it in her posses sion befure she entered the house. The policeman who took the prisoner into custody said that he had searched her box when she and her muter were present, and that he found in it several articles which the prosecutor claimed as his. The prisoner said she had nothing to say, and was re manded. CATTLE.—BALFOUD, April 6.—We continue very well supplied with stozkr, the season taken into account. Our buyers arc evidently on the increase. Good Beef ready sale, in same cases as high as 61d. per lb., and generally, however, Std. to std. per Ib. Mutton commands high rates. Nearly everything sold up. • - - - - EDINBURGH, April 6 —The number of Cattle in the market this morning was 721, or 6 more than on this day week. Sales dual, and last week's prices were well main tained. Top price of the best Beef, Bs. ; current top price, 71.94. ; current price, 7s. 64. ; middling and inferior sorts, from 61. 6d to 7s. per Dutch stone.

Top price, 71d. per lb. ; current price, 7d. ; middling and inferior sorts, from 6d. to 61d. per lb. At the clops of the market a clearance was not i effected. IN u GIOIOII.STURT. This bankrupt, who, in partnership with Edward Gibson, had carried on the St. Albans Bank, and had his certificate rotund about three years ago, applied to the court for a re hearing, stating that he bad been before the Court of Appeal (the Lords Justices), and had obtained protection, but they had refused to entertain the question of certificate until he had brought the matter again before the commis sioner. The bankrupt urged the hardship of his case, and complained that he had bad no opportunity of meeting the charges that were brought against him at the certificate meeting. His Honour said he could only administer the law as he found it, and the bankrupt's case had been dealt with the same as any other. However, if there were any fresh facts to which he wished to call attention, he might come before the court on petition in the usual way. Boma IIa.OOIOWWWWIIa Pane. ANOTHRII CASS OP ABSCONDING. The bankrupts. Joseph and John Legge, were uphol sterers, at Brampton. They had formerly been in the em ploy of Messrs. Rogers and Co., of Knightsbridge, and having become well known to several wholesale houses, they commenced business on their own account, a short time ago, in Marlborough-road. At first they traded separately, though occupying the same premises; afterwards they en tered into partnership. They then resorted to .forced sales and pledging goods ; and it appeared, from an examination of the accounts, that their sales to private customers, during the partnership, bad not amounted to more than 1001. They sold some goods for 801. on the 31st March; but the notes given in payment were stopped at the bank. On the same day they stopped payment, and 'amended on Saturday last. An adjudication in bankruptcy having been obtained, the requisite authority was placed in the hands of Spittle, a detective officer, who imme diutely proceeded to Southampton, and there seised about four tons weight of goods, which were in the disposal of the bankrupts. In the course of a few hours he succeeded in apprehending Joseph Legge, who was brought in ens- tody to town, and examined on the same day before Mr. Commissioner Fane. His answers being unsatisfactory, Mr. Pain, who appeared for the creditors, applied for his commitment, which was ordered. Mr. Walliager, solicitor, of Great St. Helen's, was now examined. Ile stated, in answer to questions by Mr. Pain, that he did not consider himself the solicitor to the bank rupt, though be had attended a former meeting on Joseph Legge's behalf. lie objected to make any disclosure as to tie property of the bankrupts, on the ground of privileged commusicatien. His honour said this excuse only availed so fat as re garded communications made Inc the purpose of bankrupts' legal advice, but not as to others. Anything which the solicitor knew in another way ought to be stated. Still the principle was one which could not be extended without great danger. BHIPPiAcs INTBLUUENCIL ARRIVED.

BOILER EXPLOSION AT THORNHILL, NEAR DEWS BUM—DEWSBURY, TCESDLY EVENING.—A terrible boiler explosion, unhappily attended with fatal results, oc curred yesterday evening at the forge occupied by Mr. George Armitage, and the property of Joshua Ingham, Esq., near the Thornhill station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Riilway. The men had fortunately all left the mill at the usual time to partake of supper, with the ex ception of John Ammons, aged 20 years, whose duties, as fireman, compelled his attendance. They had not long been off the premises before the boiler of the steam-engine burst. The explosion was so serious as partially to demolish several houses in the immediate vicinity. After the steam had partially cleared away, a search was immediately inti stated amongst the ruins, and the mangled and scorched body of Ammons was soon discovered. It has been popu larly current that the plates of the boiler were much worn by long usage. PERRAMBUCO.—By way of Havre and Southamp ton, we have commercial news from Pernambuco to the Ist of March—mere than a week later than that brought by the last Brazilian packet—by which news we learn that great quietness existed in almost every branch of business. The export trade was seriously prejudiced for want of ship ping. Freights exhibited an upward tendency, causing prices of produce to be further depressed, and fears were entertained that the great benefit anticipated from favour able crops would not be realised. Much alarm bad been excited by an expectation of a draught during the present year. No rain bad fallen in the interior, the country was burned up, and people were moving towards the coast. The English mail was daily anticipated, which caused operations to be suspended. Owing to the decline in sugars, some purchases on speculation had beta made. Cotton was almost neglected ; it maintained late prices, but which, so far as shipments to England were concerned, owing prin cipally to want of tonnage, were almost nominal. In ex change, advices from England, as also from Rio, were waited for ere operations of any extent would be transacted. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS. BIRTHS. the ,71;;;r Emmett, of a eon.

COTTON—LivEnroox, APRIL 7.—The market closed tamely with much cotton off: ring, and the tendency of prices was in favour of the purchaser. Brazils were in de mand for export. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, of which quantity exporters took 3,000, the remainder being taken Isy the trade. The sales comprise 1,400 Pernara and Maranham, at 6d. to 71d.; 20 Bahia, at 6d. ; 100 Egyptian; 1,800 Surat, 31d. to 41d.; and 160 Sea Islands. 2a Od. to 2s. 6d. MANCHESTER, Aram 7.—There has not been a very large business transacted in this market to-day, and in some instances purchases are reported to have been made on somewhat easier terms than wars conceded on Tuesday. An opinion is prevalent in many quarters that the present advanced rates in the Liverpool cotton market cannot be maintained, with the prospect of a crop of 3,300,000 bales. The supply of cotton has been quite equal to the demand, at Liverpool, during the last few days, and holders seem to think the advance has gone quite far enough. Merchants hers prefer to abstain from operating fur the present, ex cept where their engagements compel them, but stocks are at present light, except for some of the heavier sorts of goods, as domestic. and T clot a. The excitement which prevailed a few days ago has eatirely disappeared, and there is an impression that prices cannot lung remain at their present point, but must either go higher or lower. BRADFORD, April 7.—The great activity manifested for some time past, has, to some extent, met the present require ments of the spinners, who are deterred from buying, ex cept to assort their stocks, at the estreme prices now de• mended. There can be no dubt but the consumption hu been considerable, and that the supplies in the dealers' and farmers' hands are comparatively light, and held for prices, high as they may be here, beyond what can he given to bring to the seat of consumption. Nods and broke. are produced only in limited quantity, and the demand equal to what is offering. The spinners are labouring under great advan tage, the raw material making leaps that it is impossible to keep pace with the article in its prog •ve stages of manu facture. The nature of the trade being now entirely one of order, as spools are day-by-day delivery, all orders previously taken can only be completed at a loss; it is quite out of bounds now to plan orders at • price at ell approximating 17d. for middle wethen, and with no hopes of any relief this aide shear day. In reeled yarns there is a good deal of inquiry, but for first-rate spiaoings 111.6 d. is now sought for 30's to 40's, with no disposition to take orders for distant delivery. Pieces: The increased prices now demanded for goods make the merchants chary in giving out orders ; but where old prices are submitted to —the result of the contracts of last year in yarns—there is no difficulty in effecting sales. The goods made from all wool are greatly increased in cost; and as this is toe early in the season to buy for the full trade, the manufacturers are placed in a critical position, the quantity produced being much diminished during March. The continued in crease in the cost of fine double, as well as good single warps, is greatly to the disadvantage of the manufacturer. Cotton Warps have again advanced in price, and in the finer sorts, 6d. per lb. They have now advanced not less than le. 9d. per lb. from the lowest price, and at this they are very firm. CORN.-BIRILINORAII, APRIL 7.-At Gloucester mar ket, on the 2nd, wheat of all kinds declined Is. per quarter ; at Worcester, same day, the trade ruled dull, but no reduc tion was submitted to on English wheat. Barley a slow sale, at rather lower rates. Oats maintained their value. Beans quite as dear. Very little inquiry for Peas. During the present week we have had a fair demand for the better descriptions of wheat at previous rates. Barley 6d. to Is. per quarter lower. Oats held for quite as much money. Beans and peas neglected. At this day's market there was fair supply of wheat, and though we make no alteration in our quotations, the turn was in favour of the buyer on all descriptions. Barley could only be disposed of in limited quantities. Oats taken retail at fully former prices. Beane rather cheaper. Very little doing in peas. BRISTOL, APRIL 7.-The market has been somewhat better supplied with English wheat, and the accounts from the surrounding agricultural districts represent the wea ther as being favourable. The demand has been somewhat limited, and in order to effect sales holders have had to submit to a decline of about Is. per quarter on the curren cies of this day se'nnight. There is not an active market for foreign, especially for any but the very best (relines, and this circumstance,. together with the decline upon English, has a ff ected prices, which are from Is. to 2s per quarter lower. There is little er nothing doing in flour, and values have receded Is. per sack upon English, and pro portionately upon foreign. Malting barley meets with a consumptive demand at about the rates of last week's market. There is but a sluggish sale for grinding parcels, and prices are barely supported. Oats meet with a mode rate demand, and pnces are without alteration. In beans there is a steady, but not a large sale, at our quotations. The prices were as follows :- English , new wheat, 38s. to 455. per imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, 465. to 525. per ditto; foreign, white, 50s. to 545. per ditto ; foreign, red, extra fine qualities, 475. to 48e. per ditto ; ditto, fine qualities, 41e. to 44e. per do. ; do., ordinary qualities, 395. to 425. per ditto; foreign, bard, 38s. to 425. per ditto ; English seconds flour, 341. to 365. Od. per sack, United States, &c., sweet, 241. Od. to 255. 6d. per barrel. English malting barley, 335. to 365. per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto, 255. Od. to 265. per 400ibs. Devon and Welsh feed oats, 17e. 6d. to 18s. per imperial quarter; Irish white, ditto, 18s. 6d. to 20s. Od. per 3201b5.• Irish black ditto, 17s. Od. to 189. per im perial quai-ter. English beans, 38e. to 425. per ditto; foreign ditto, 351. to 38s. Od. per 48011ss. The arrivals on shipboard for the week have been :-Oats, 2,146 barrels ; barley, 2,418 quarters; flour, 620 sacks, 5,381 quarters. The o ffi cial return of the corn inspector gives the following averages :-Wheat, 435. 3d. ; oats, 18s. sd. ; barley, 355. 81.; beans, 37e. Bd. _ _ _ • • Davizste, April 7.-We had a moderate supply of Wheat to-dsy, and it was the general remark that tin con dition was nothing like so improved as might have been ex• petted. The trade was very heavy, but the best lots sold quite as brisk as lest week, while the inferior samples were rather easier to buy. There was a good supply of Barley for the time of year ; the trade was slow, but no reduction in price ; 38s. 6d. was the highest price given, but 395. was offered and refused for a prime sample, for which 40s. was asked. In Oats, Beans, and Peas, no alteration to note. Tares were in short supply, and in good demand. Wheat, white, per sr., 58s. ; best red, 535. to 565.; middling, 41.. to 635.; inferior, 33a. to 41s. Barley, 28s. to 395. Oats, 18s. to 265. Beans, 345. to 425. Peas, 345. to 40s. Flour, tine, per sack, 395. to 425.; seconds, 345. to 38e. NEWAZI, April 6.-The supplies of samples at this mar ket to-day were liberal, and the attendance pretty good. The business transacted was not very extensive. Wheat had a dull and heavy sale, except for samples of the driest and finest quality. A. good deal of Wheat offered was in damp and inferior condition, and which of course materially affected the value in the market. Barleys were not much in request for malting purposes, the makers of Malt being nearly supplied for the season. Prices were inclined to re cede, although we cannot record any absolute decrease in value on the days's business. Oats, teens , cl and other arti cles were unaltered from last week. Prices: Wheat, white, from 51s. to 535.; red, 475. to 495. ; grinding Bar ley,malting ditto, 325. to 355. • Oats, 21s. to 235. ; Beans, new, 345. to 365. ; old, 435. to As. per qr. • . NEWBURY, April 7.—Our supply of Wheat, though not large, exceeds the demand ; the small portion sold realised the prices of last week, but a considerable quantity remains unsold. The same remark may be applied to Barley; Oats, Beans, and l'eu fully as dear. UXBRIDGE, April 7.—Wheat comes to band in rather worse condition, and the sale is very slow at a reduction of Is. to 2s. per qr. The average price is 465. per qr. Oats sell freely for seed. Other descriptions of sprin t ; corn meet • heavy trade. WATERFORD, April 6.—Wo have had a fair import of Indian Corn since Saturday, but of Wheat there are no arrivals to report. The supplies from farmers continue quite as scanty ns fur several weeks past. There is a better feeling in the market for every article, and a considerable amount of business passing at full price?. EDtIiBUROR, April 6.—We had a very small supply of grain today. Wheat went back a little, while Barley kept gins. Oats fell from lost week's prices, while BOAS sold r;dkon , Y.q., MARRIAGES. LYS.
