PETITION OF RIGHT OF CATHERINE ROBSON AND ISABELLA AINSLEY. The proceedings in this case were continued on Saturday, at the Westminster Seaaionahouse, before a special jury and the four commissioners appointed by the Court of Chancery. On the court meeting, at half-past nine o'clock, Mr. M. D. Hill called as a witness Sir Frederick Pollock, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, who said he re collected particularly well the trial of the claim of the suppliants to the Troutbeck property. It t ek place in the city of York. He was attorney-general et the tine, and conducted the case for the crown. Before the trial came en,Serjeent Jones (afterwaeds Serjeant Atcherley) rose and said he appeared for a claimant, and insisted on being a perry to the in airy. Witness was not sure that the court did not intimate that the appearance was irregular, as connected w th the claim of a person not before the court, and residing at the time near York. Shortly after the trial witness was told by one of the jury that the venue was laid in the wrong plsce,and that the jury were all well aware that there was another claimant, whose title was better than that of the pieties witness represented. The juryman who said this was named Joseph Wilson. The value of his remarks witness would leave others to determine ; but lee said that the jury were of opinion that though there was the epp..arance of a title in the case, the claimant had a better one. Now, wit ness was sure that there was no tittle of evidence on the trial which raised that person's claim—in fact, to show that any claim existed. Wilson was one of the most honourable and intelligent men that witness had ever met with, and he was turpeasel that a gentleman of his sense should have given the verdict against the claimant on the ground that some other person was better entitled, and that other person not being in court. The interest he (wit tem) took in the proceeding was this—that it might be known in all quarters what the character of the investigation was, and how fur it appeared that tbere had been a failure of justice. Mr. Hill (to witness) : Will you allow me, to ask you U in your opinion there was a failure of justice in the matter? Witness It would be incorrect to state an opinion of that sort. I aniline myself merely to stating facts. Mr. Hill Has nothing occurred to change the opinion which you then contracted that these had been a failure of justice ? Witness: Certainly not. I was aware then, and am aware now, of the difficulty of correeing a verdict ; bat I have a perfect reliance on the truth of the communicatiod made to me. Speaking as a private individual, I became satisfied that it was ten unfortunate thing for the claimants that the trial took place at York, and I had no doubt that the jury decided on grounds which were not befit.° them' In 1835 I laid the circumstances before Mr. Oral at the tresaury, but I have a very imperfect recollection of what peeled. My statement, however, seemed to make a strong impression on him. The judge at the trial was unable to raise his voice, and the jury apparently heard very imperfectly what he said. The will (of Samuel Troutheck) was not puein at the trial, but I remember that one of the jury asked a question as to its MMUS, as if they were aware of what theme cos tents were. Mr. Hill then read the fiat sentence of Sir Frederick Poi lock's speech in the House of Commons on Mr. Warburton's motion for an inquiry into the case of the claimants, whose Fide Sir Frederick had espoused. The counsel asked him if he was still of • similar opinion ; the witness replied that they were his sentiments then, and were so still. With re gard to a certificate in favour of the claimants which had been signed at the time by several counsel of distinction, he said that he had no doubt that he had signed it, but he had no recollection of having done so. He was present at a vote on the motion of Mr. Warburton, but declined stating what had taken place in the House of Commons while he attended there u • member. A variety of documentary evidence was then put in by Mr. Chisholm Anstey, consisting of registers of baptisms, mar riages, and burials of 'anew members of the Troutbeck family, tending to show the descent of the suppliants. Mr. Henry Warburton was then called and examined by Mr. Hill. He said he had been a member of the House of Com. mons, and was well acquainted with the nature of the claim of the suppliants. In 1838 he moved fora committee to investigate the claim. There was a debate on his motion, which was i once adjourned. In the course of the debate he had mini ' dared it his duty to refer to a report which Mr. Ord bad made on the subject. He had expressed his opinion that, as the matter had been referred by the treasury to Mr. Ord, the tries ought to have the benefit of the report which he deved to he made in their favour; the persons, however, who represented the crown, did not accede to his views. Bit , Frederick Pollcck was present during the debate and 'im ported his motion, but did not vote, for private reasons. The Chancellor of the Exchequer resisted the motion, stating that there were already several claimants supported in the house by an hon. member. Witness believed he had stated at the time that " ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was trying to raise the ghosts of imaginary claimants In order to guard the treasury ." Witness allowed the motion to be negatived, because he was given to understand that there would not be forty members present when he again brought it forward. In • subsequent interview with the Chancellor el the Exchequer, he believed there was another attempt made to raise the ghosts of those claimants; but he I never heard of them any more, nor did be believe them to have been bona fide claims. The interview to which he al . laded took place 2nd Feb., 1838. He went by appointment and was accompanied by Mr. Hawes, the present Under- Secretary for the Colonies, and, he believed, some other member of parliament. The Soliciter-General was not pre sent, but he was represented by Mr. Maids and Mr. Spear man, of the Treuary. At that interview witness urged on the Chancellor of the Exchequer either his consent to anew trial or his agreement to a compromise ; but the Chancellor datelined both alternatives. Hs (the Chancellor) proposed to refer the matter to the Lord Chancellor, to which witness and bis friends contented. The Chancellor of the Exche quer then withdrew his proposal, on the ground, as he Mated, that it would not be smiler; with fairness to the other claimants. Mr. Mauls, on that occasion, referred to Broad's claim, and spoke of it as being well founded, on which wit ness referred. the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the opinion of Lord Langdaliewho had spoken in strong terms of the fraud and perjury by which that claim had been supported. At that interview the Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that Mr. Ord had made what he called • draft report, and, on his making an observation on some of the opinions con tained in it, the reply of Mr. Ord I who was present) was, " Rice, you know nothing about the matter." The result of the interview was, that the Chancellor said the matter should be referred again to the Lords of the Treasury. In 1838 Messrs. O'Femll and Parker also made a report. The witness spoke to the identity of those reports which were read over by Mr. Hill. Thatof Masan. O'Ferrell and Parker was in favour of the crown, and that of Mr. Owd in favour of the claimants. He also deposed to the identity of a letter predated, written by himself to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, urging upon him the settlement of the case. It was dated March 18, 1839. He said, from the time he had written that letter, nothing had occurred to alter the views which he had therein expressed. In answer to one of the jury, as to his object in moving in the case at all, Mr. Warburton replied that cabmen, law yers, and members of parliament, were at everybody's bid ; but he had taken up the matter on public grounds, because he conceived it to be one in which justice was needed to be by way of alb Pith's ingenuity in otimpotis don," the following occurred It is tbia Ud e girl. white endeavouring to de laseeYteem tbeebeimirtiblebead, Wows it to be mew dam do WNW 0011••••••••••IWIMMON•• dulailtasubstps as set emu* mem seethes OM dole mq •Ws IIW• WIND.

Ttea learned eerjeant having read those passeees in the ar ticle which constituted the lthelicomplained of, proceeded to say that if the present defeadant had meant to wen in plain terms that the young lady was guilty of a foul conspiracy the defendant in the former action might himself have been called as • entitle's, end if no ground for th original com plaint had really existed he would not have hesitated to give his evidence to that effect, whilst Mr. Coultoe could have effectually cast upon Mies Smith the stigma of having eatered into a conspiracy ; but from that course the partied had shrunk. The defendant had not thought proper to jus tify his statemeots, and therefore he (Mr. Serjeant Talfourd) was not permitted to lay th fore the jury evidence of theyoung lady's is nocenee: He had • right toren upon L ee l Ferrer, to give evidence of the true facts of the as;. Ho could do no more than pimply prove the circumstances under which the libel in queatioe wee written, cod then ask the jury whether trey would hesitate to afford to hites Smith reasoaable com pensation for the injury inflicted upon her. He did not ask the jury to apiove of the act which the plaintiff acknow ledged she had committed but he thought it right to ask them whether her conduct in early life was to be placed be yond the power of retrieving because she had endeavoured to lay before the public something by way of answer to the speech of the learned counsel at the former trial. He confi dently in treated the jury tong by their verdict that she was net to be made an outcast in the world, but that she might still continue to enjoy the comfort of those who were dear to her. Ile trusted that when they lied heard the whole of the facto the present appeal for protection and redress would not prove to have been made In vein. The publication of the article in quo mien was admitted, and also the fact of the defendant being the propr i etor and publisher of the Britannia. Mr. Thomas N. Smith, the plaintiff's father, was then called, and he stared that he was a firmer in Warwickshire, and that his daughter was 21 years of age last January. He had five other children. His daughter was plaintiff in an action against Earl Ferran for breath of promise of marriage. He had read the article in the Britannia on the 7th Novem ber, and ho understood it to apply to his daughter.—Crow examined by Mr. Cockburn : A. near as be could recollect, his daughter's pamphlet was published about September last year. It was the production of hie daughter exclusively. The manuscript was corrected by himself. She was not in communication with any other person when she wrote it. She was residing with her grandfather at the time, about six miles distant from her home. Did not know that some observations upon the trial contained in the pamphlet sew sent from London —Re-examined The hi S. or the pam phlet Was entirely in the plaintiff's handwriting. Ale. Cockburn addressed the jury for the defendant, and stated that the alleged libel was but the last chapter of a se ries of proceedings upon which, taken alone, tt was quite impossible for the jury to forma correct judgment. Same facts, however, were apparent even in this case. The present plaintiff had also bun plaintiff in a former action, which he (Mr. Cockburn) was justified in characterising as one of the most remarkable dues ever tried in Westminster-hall, and would be handed down to posterity as one of the cativo cSkbres of Europe. In that action the plaintiff's cans was sought to be established by a series of letters purporting to be in the handwriting of the defendant, Berl Ferran, and when these letters were read it was easy to conceive that the cue appeared to have been clearly made out. However, certain anonymous letters were afterwards predawn' by the defendant's counsel, and the witnesses for the plaintiff ac knowledgel them to be in her handwriting. The counsel for the plaintiff thereupon slued to be noneuited ; and he would ask the jury to infer that they could not adopt any other course under the circumstances. The plaintiff had not thought proper to briog a second action against Lord - Ferran, which the might have done, the proceedings having resulted in the manner 4e scribed, but six months afterwards the had published a pamphlet relative to those proceedings. The defendant was the proprietor etor of a publ t ic to ne h rpar, and probably , this very i : l C E d n g h een written, hd n said his learned friend, Mr. SerejeautpTi:lt fourth, to avert a little of the public indignation, and because there had been no opportunity of answering the speech made at the former trial by Six Frederick Theeiger. But why was there no such opportunity offered? Simply because the gpoech was founded upon facia which were wholly unan swerable. If it had been otherwise did the jury suppose that counsel of such skill and ability as Bir F. Kelly and the gentlemen who assisted him possessed, would have aban doned i case which involved not merely • question of matey, but sacred considerations of character and honesty ? The defendant in the present action had felt that there had been a gems outrage upon public decency and morals, and was it to be said that a public journalist was to be made liable for somments on • pamphlet of such a nature ? The learned counsel went on to say that the defendant had not transgressed his duty, considering the in iquitous conduct which had been shown to have been pur sued by the plaintiff. It did not require much asteteneee to see what the plaintiff's object was in bringing the present case forward ; and he (Mr. Cockburn) almost regretted that a plea et justification had not been put upon the record ; be cause, if it had, the action would not have been proceeded with. Ile trusted that the jury would say that the defend ant had not gone beyond what was fairly and legitimately his duty as a public journalist ; but if they should be of opinion that the defendant had exceeded the strict limits of his public duty, then he (Mr. Cockburn) would ask them whether they thought that a person in the situation of the plaintiff was entitled to anything more than nominal damages ? Mr. Justice Cresswell having gummed up, the jury with out hesitation returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, One Farthing. The learned judge refused to certify th at the alleged libel was wilful and malicious. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. TN RR MORSE.—TEE COUNTRY BANKING SYSTEM. — This bankrupt had carried on business at Neithrop, Oxford shire, as a woolstapier, and now came up for hit certificate. Mr. Sturgeon appeared on behalf of the bankrupt, and stated the facts, there being no opposition on the part a the credi tor. The bankrupt bad carried on business at the above place for 40 years, and bad kept en account at the same bank for the game time, but never kept any book. His failure was attributable artly to misadventures of a young man whom he had brought op from childhood, and during the last few years had taken to assist in business, and finally, to the stoppage of credit by the bankers. The bankrupt had been doing business to the extent of about 20,0001. a year. It was explained to the learned commissioner, that the wool stapler bought the wool of the farmer for cash, and re-sold at Oa market. The capital was a fluctuating one, as shown at lb* banker's books, the only enes kept, the outdoor busi er= "cash."

Mr. Joseph Parkes, the next witness, is a taxing-master in Chancery. Hu pursuits Tad drawn him for a great many years to the subject of pedigrees. He undertook to be the professional repreeentative of the suppliants without profit, being simply guaranteed his expenses. He corroborated the statements of the preceding witness with regard to the nego- tiations with the treasury. He had been in communication with Mr. Dent, the grandson of Me. Pelling, Samuel Trout beek's solicitor and had, on the death of his grandfather, managed a go od deal of his business, having himself re mitted a large part of the property of Samuel Troutbeck from Madras. A great number of Mr. Pelling's papers had been destroyed, and he suspected that they were burned. One of the jury wished to know if toe witness thought that any person had thrown any impediment In the way of the investigation of the claim / Witness could not answer the question exactly, but he thought the solicitor of the Treasury had done wrong In keeping the narrative of John Treutbeck so long. He did not, however, wish to prejudice that gentleman, who had doubtless acted under orders. Witness did not know if any other person or persons besides the Prince Regent had rtici paced in the money of Samuel Troutbeck. He had traced about 50/. to the Pavilion at Brighton, but had not followed up the investigation. He thought there were several persons who could give better information on the subject than him self; there was a late distinguished physician who would have bees able to tell something about the matter.—Re examintd : About three months elapsed between the time when Mr. Ord told witness he had made a report on the case, and that gentleman's death. At the time he was attacked with brain fever, witness never knew a person of more sober and steady habits. and one no little likely to be subject to insanity. He was of very w yak physical frame. The formal documentary evidence was then resumed, and a variety of registers of baptism and burial put in, after which Mr. Hill said that he now wished to bring bard a new kind of evidence in tke torn of affidavits, some of tin m made by persons who had sires died, but which had all been used before, some of them in the Court of Chancery, and under circumstances where the representatives of the crown had amule opportunity for answering them. A diicustion ensued as to bow far such evidence was ad . missible—Mr. fierjeant Manning decided that it could be put in, but he must leave the question of its value to be fur.her considered.—The court then adjourned to this day. POLICE.—SATURDAT. MANSION-HOUSE.— Cirmwea or 1 .... AGAINST A COLLECTOR OP HERTS.—W. H Cupper, col lector of the rents for Mr. T. Flight, of Bond Courthouse, Walbrook, was finally examined, charged with having em bezzled several sums of money received for his employer. J. Cohen, of 36, lioundeditch, tenant of Mr. Flight, owed the landlerd 51. at Michaelmas, and paid it to a person who brought a receipt signed by the prisoner. R. Miller owed him 6!. at Michaelmas, and peid it to the prisoner on the 27,h of October. Sarah Lewis owed him 51. 155., at Miehael map, and paid it to tee prisoner on the 27th of ()debt r. Elia Ibeth Alford ;seed him 51. 10s., and paid the pretence. Jones, clerk to the prosecutor, said he was authorised to receive all amounts collected by Mr. Flight's collectors—had not received any nue of these sums.—By Mr. Wontner, for the defendant :Witness could not swear that Mr. Flight had not received them, but did not believe be had ; witness al ways received the money from Mr. Flight's collectors, and he came to wituem when he wanted money ; believed his wife called, and saw Mr. Flight on the sul,j;e: ; understood from report that the prisoner was out of his mind ; h-lieved she sea the was out of his mind.—Mr. Wontner : Do you net know that Mr. Flight declared that he would overlook the deficiency if it was true tbet the prisoner's mind was affected ?—Witness heard Mr. Flight say he would forgive the prisoner if he had 1 st the money or been robbed of it. — Mr. Flight mid : The prisoner Me coil( ctor in my employment, and is paid by a weekly salary, He has accounted far none of the sums of money for which the receipts are now produced by my tenanta.—By Mr. Wontner : Did you not make any promise of forgiveness to him ?—I knew nothing of the prisoner being out of his mind ; was told that it was feared that be was out of his mind • never saw him in a state of insanity. When he recovere d he called upon wit ness ; did not request him to come again; was thunderstruck at his assurance is coming and saying his amounts were right. He made a general assertion that he bad paid money out of his own pocket, but witness' did not go into the detail, it was too absurd.—Mr. Wontner: Did you tell hie wife if the de ficieney did not exceed 501. you would forgive him ?—Mr. Flight . I told her that I would cheerfully forgive him even if the amount of his deficiency reached 501., provided the loss were a clear one on his part without any fraud.—By Mr. Mohler, for the prosecutor : None of the money which the prisoner tomtit hate paid out of his own pocket had reference to any of the Cases Upon which he was charged.— Mr. Wontner called the attenticn of the Lord Mayor to the facts of the case against his client, which differed from every other ewe of embezzlement of which be had heard. The unfortunate man at the bar bad been found in an insane state, and placed under medical treatment, and the moment he recovered he called upon his employer, declare that he believed, upon the balance of the accounts between them, nothing was due upon the part of the individual em ployed, and offered to go into the details—a proposition which, although the most reasonable that could be made, wee rejected es absurd. Had the other proposition—namely, that the prisoner should go round to the tenants to ascertain bow much he was in advance to them in the settlement of their rents, met with a more favourable reception ? No ; Mr. Flight did not give that opportunity, to clear himself from the imputation of embezzlement, to the man who was always obliged to apply for the rents in his collection with a warrant of distress in his pocket, end who woo compelled, except he resorted to his own pocket, to prevent the sacrifice of their goods, to carry that warrant into execution. The prisoner had since, from compulsion, advanced so much money to those who were indebted to his employer, that lees than 201. would not settle the difference which was in Amour of the former —The Lord Mayor said he could not get over the fact that, by the agreement made between Mr. Flight and the prisoner, the latter wee bound to account for whatever rent he received for the former on the following day. That had not been done. On the contrary, there were five or six instances in which sums had been received of which no account whatever had been given. The prisoner bad pleaded a set-off against the deficiency laid to his charge, hot that set-off had nothing at all to do with these cues.— The prisoner was committed for trial. BOW-STREET.—Em BEZZLEUENT.— W. Starling, in the service of Mr. H. Bohn, bookseller, York-street, Covent garden, was charged with embezzling 41. 10s., the property of his employer—The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was in his service three yearn as collecting clerk, and in con sequence of his not accounting to him for the amount in question ' which he had received from Mr. Hearn, book seller, 81, Strand, he gave hint into custody. He then ad mitted having appropriated other sums, amounting to 201., to his own use; but he had so wish to proceed against him for them, having en former occasions experienced much dif filer% and delay in getting witnesses to attend; particu the punishment was usually the some for ono as for several offenees of the same kind.— Mr. Henry said that when several offences could be proved, it was usual to prefer three bills of indictment, and he would take care there would be no difficulty in compelling the attendance of witnesses.— Yr. Hearn proved that he paid the prisoner the amount in queition and he affixed his signature for cash in the book The prisoner, who declined saying anything in Is defence, was about to be removed from the bar, when an essistant in the service of the prosecutor came into court, and presented another account to his employer, from which it appeared that the prisoner had embezzled a further sum of Iffs 165., which had not been discovered when he was given into custody.—Mr. Bohn said there was no doubt of his being robbed to a large amount, and if the prisoner was remanded for a few dayr, he would take occasion to look over his books and melee other discoveries—Mr. Henry ordered the prisoner to be brought up again in a week. WORSHIP-STREET.—CHARGE AGAINST A RAILWAY Cistax.—J. S. Foster, clerk in the goods department of the Eastern Counties Railway, was charged with having ob tained various arms of money, on account of his employers, under false pretences. The prisoner had been two years in the service of the company, at a salary of 30s. • week, and it was part of his duty to make out the hills of charges fur the freightage and certue of goods transmitted to town by railway. It had recently been discovered that he had, in numerous instanter, sent out tickets to persons to whom packages had been consigned containing an excessive over charge, although he bad only accounted to the company far the proper amount. After hearing some evidence, which went to establish a clear case against the prisoner, the ma gistrate remanded him. ROBBERIES iIY RAILWAY GUARDS.—R. Rowse and G. Crane, guards on the Eastern Counties Railway, were charged with stealing_from a van belonging to the company. —Polies constable 138 H deposed that he was on duty that morning in Spitalfields, when he saw the prisoner get down from behind the van in question and lift his apron, into which something was thrown by a person in the van. Wit ness took charge of Crane, upon whom he found a large piece of pork which had been purloined from a h amper in the van, as also of Rennet, who we. in the van.—A gentle man, who appeared on behalf of the company, said that a vast quantity of meat which had been consigned to the wholesale butchers of the different markets, had been lost in a similar war—The prisoners were remanded.

She saw the blow struck by the defendant with the poker, the blow was so violent aa to drive the poker out of the defendant's hand. The csmplaivant did not offer the least provocation.—The defendant denied the assault. He said he had no s tick In his hand, but his brother had. He had at one time the poker, but he did not use it.—T. Walsh, the brother, said he saw the poker in his brothers's hand, but his brother did not strike the complain ant with it; the poker fell on the bannisters, and might have touched the complainant accidentally, The complainant and his companion bad made a noise in the passage, and had threatened to tweak his father's wooden leg.—The Rev. J. Walsh positively denied that his son had a poker at all. He swore that his son had not struck the complainant with the poker, and he denied that he called out, " Go it, boys! fetch The reverend gentleman afterwards admitted t th he at Po h k is ed" son hod a poker in his hand, but it was only a very little one. The poker struck the bannisters, and might have touched the complainant's heed by accident —Three witnes• see declared there wax no truth in the reverend gentleman's evidence—The complainant said it would be very inconve nient to him if the ease were sent to the sessions.—Mr. Hardwick fined the defendant 01., or two mouths' impri sonment. WESTMINSTER.—MirreiteI IDENTITY.— W. Clark son, described as an engineer, was re-examined, charged with stealing a piece of brass moulding. The prisoner was taken into custody upon the charge on Wednesday evening, and when brought before the magistrate on the following mem ing, Hanson, 133 V, stated that on the previous evening he mat the prisoner in the King's-road, Chelsea, when, observ iug that be had something bulky under his coat, he suspected that he had some stolen property, and followed him, but had not proceeded above twenty yards when the prisoner com menced running, and on his way threw down a piece of brass moulding. The prisoner, after being pursued a short dist ance, was stopped by another constable. The constable slid he only lost sight of the prisoner while he turned the corner of the street. It subsequently appeared that the prisoner was a most respectable man, and tnat he did not, in his way home on the evening in question, pass on the same aide of the way as that on which the shop from whence the pro perty was stolen was situated.—Mr. Burrell said the prisoner was discharged. It appeared to bee ease of mistaken identity. SOUTHWARK .—SweeoLigo.—J. Bartley was chargel with baying smuggled tobacco in his possession. The de fendant not appearing the charge was heard in his absence. After hearing the evidence the magistrate sentenced the de fendant to pay a fine of 1001., and in default to be com mitted for six months. Subsequently to this decisiou, while the officers were bringing the defendant, whom tSey acci dentally met, to the station, he attempted to throw away a large quantity of Cavendish tobacco which he had concealed in different psrta of his dress. Evidence of the second offence having been adduced against biro he was sentenced to pay an additional penalty of 1001., and in default of pay ment to be committed for six months. LAMBETH.—Erennezerweer.—J. PikAer wee re-exa mined, eherged with embt upwards of 601, the pro- perty of his t mpleyer. The prisoner had been iu the em ployment of Mr. Green, potter, in Princeastreet, Lambeth, as his clerk, for about a year and a half, and it was his duty to settle his accounts weekly, and to hand over every Mon day all the cash in his hands to his master, except a pound or two for petty cash. On the 22nd of last month Mr. Green, on examining the prisoner's book, found that he had 141. 81. 6d, in his hands ; and, on his accounts being posted, his deficiency increased to about 601.—The prisoner was com mitted for trial. THAMES. A POLICEMAN'S OATH.— IVM. Drialo/4 aged 18, wee charged by J. Dobell, a constable of the H division, with being on the premises of Mrs Riper, Church road, Commerciahroed East, with intention to commit • felony.—The Constable stated that st two o'clock the pre veins morning he saw the prisoner and two otters, and kuowing them to be suspicious characters ho followed them ' up t.e Commercial-road, and saw the prisoner get over the ' railieayi of a house in Church-road belonging to Mrs. Roper. He ran up and secured him : the ethers escaped. Another constable came up at the tame time, and maid he also had witnessed the transaction.—Jeremiah Ford, the constable alluded to, said he found the prisoner 'tending up against the railing of Mrs. Roper's house.—Dobell was recalled, and at first positively denied having said he " saw the prisoner " get over the railings of the house; but Mr. Symons the chief clerk, having proved from the minutes that suet :was the fact, he hesitatingly said, Well, I did not see him get over the railings."—hlr. Ballantine observed he had no doubt the prisoner intended to commix a felony, but he must dismiss the charge, because he could not believe anything Dobell maid. The magistrate directed Impeder Forbes to cause an inquiry to be made into the matter. HAMMERSMITH.—Eatedeo A CAT.—Ten men applied for the adviee and assistance of the magistrate. On Thum dey evening they were in the Black Boy public-house, in the Potteries, Netting. hill, when a man named B. Hams came in with what appeared to be a trussed rabbi,, which he °Ruled fur sale for 9d. They mustered their mouey together and bought it, and sent it in a dish with potatoes to the baker's, and made a hearty supper of it. They bad, how ever, not long eaten it before they all felt very sick, and they were obliged to apply to a surgeon for emetics. They had since ascertained that what they bad eaten was a cat. which Hams had skinned and dressed up as it rabbit for fun. They wished to know how he could be punished.—Mr. Psyuter said he knew of no law under which the offending party could be punished. If it weld be proved that he had cruelly killed the cat, he might be punished under the act for preventing cruelty to animals. Cats were not considered to be unwholesome food, and they were fr.quently eaten in France and other countries.—The applicants left the court apparently much disappointed. MONEY MARKET. SATURDLT ETZNIXO. In respect of business this may almost be called a dies non. The attendance at the Stock Exchange was very slender, as if by a sort of understanding to make a holiday. The variations of prices, as well as the transactions, have therefore been within the most limited compass. Consols opened at 851 to for money, and 8.61- to; for time, and left off with a few bargains only marked 851 to a money, and 861 for account. Reduced Threes 841 to 4. Three-and-a- I Quarter per Cents. 85a to I. Bank stock 187 to 9. LoogAnnuities 8 9-16 to a". Exchequer bills 3a. to 6s. premium. India Bonds 28s. to 235. discount. Mexican stock has attracted still more attention to-day than before, and the dealings were more active and of greater extent than could have been expected iu so thin a house, and otherwise so circumscribed a market. The quotation first marked for the Bonds was 18, and after various fluctuations within a range oft per cent., they left off at 171 to 181. Spanish Fives were called 171 to 181; the Threes, 29 to ; Portuguese 22 to 3. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. improved to 541;t0 si, on the:prices coming higher from Amst, edam with some orders for purchase; the Fours, 84 to 1. In other foreign stocks no transactions took place, nor were any changes in the quotations marked. Money accommodation is becoming more easy with the banks and discount houses, and has been offorded in some instances at half per cent. below the minimum rate of the Bank, that is, at 51 per cent. That estab lishment, with deposits on the increase, and the re serve fund receiving a weekly accession from bill securities running out and not replaced, will cease to have the same monopoly of discounts should its pee sent rate of charge be maintained, and other par ties continue to undersell it. By the returns of last week, indeed, it would appear that the Bank was preferentially disposed to make advances on public securities, rather than lay itself out for discounts; or, perhaps, being outbid for flrst-class bills, was glad to employ a portion of its funds in loans upon stock or Exchequer Bills at Stock Exchange rates of interest. The government securities in the banking depart ment had increased in the woek in question, as would be observed this morning, by 312,9871. The bills falling due to-day, as the 4th of the month, and therefore the particular bill day, are un derstood to have been in general satisfactorily met. The amount, it may be added however, was not con sidered to be heavy, nor at this the last month of the year are bill payments usually so large as in other previous months of the year, or as they will doubtless prove on the 4th proximo. There can be no doubt, however, that as a consequence of the discredit of the times, the quantity of bills put into circulation and falling due to-day, was more materially contracted than usual, The advices from the United States by the Wash ington, represent that on account of the shipments of specie, and a greater demand for internal dealings, a sort of money stress had begun to prevail there. The banks wore discounting only for customers, and cautiously. The charges for good paper were es high as 12 pet cent. " In the street," that is on .of the banks, se much as le per cent. per month was sulked and paid. A report has been current today of the failure of a wooletapler in the Borough, and of a suicide in con sequenoe. The name is given, but we do not feel warranted in mentioning it at present. From Glas gow three failures are announced, viz., of Mr. Henry Forrester, warehouseman; Messrs. Campbell, Har vey, and Co., warehousemen; and Messrs. Ferguson, Watson, and Co., in the silk trade. The first-named is uadentood to be for a considerable sum. The creditors of Mr. A. A. Lsckersteen, and of Mame. Lackersteen and Crake, met to-day, to con sider the state of their affairs, ss developed in the baleate-eheet prepared by Mr. Wright, the mam a_ ant. Mr. B. L.
