Horsley's execution of this part was masterly: he has a firm band, and a vocal, melodious touch. There was an evertors by Mr. W. C. Macfarren, said to be "descriptive of a seuti roettal journey," which, uotwitheanding the absurdity of its title, is a productit n of much merit , reminding us a good deal of the manner of Mendelssohn. Another overture, called "The Set-ahore," by Mr. J. J. He.ite, was redolent of Weber. A third overture, by Mr. Stephen., was called Vita d'inguietudine." Such titles, indicating attempts at musical description, are entirely unmeaning; no music having powers of this kind. This is one of the foolish fashions of the day. Among the vocal pieces. a cansonet called "The sensitive heart." by Mr. W. Thirlwall, was pleasing in melody and well instrumented. It was very prettily sung by Miss Duval.—The society have announced their annual levies of six chamber concerts, the first of which takes place ea Monday next.

We are happy to dad that the committee appointed by the Master- General of the Ordnance to inquire into the alleged abases, and whose labours have been prolonged to the present time, ore about to recom mend the neloptioo r lajalan which will, it is hoped, effectually rem ove the mie.hief corn of. Admitting that habits highly prejudi c i a l to the future wet arc of the cadets and to the character of the institu tion are induced by the previously neglected character of the studenta, and perceiving that these evil, muet prevail unless that institution bas.ome direct control ern the candidates for the future cadetehipa, the committee hare resolved to recommend the estabfishment of a training echoer, in connexion with the academy itself, where the can didate. for cadet•hips shall receive their preparatory education, and only those be admitted to the institution whose conduct during their probationary studies shall hare met the approbation of their teacher.. A twofold advantage will thus be gained, fur only those will be ad mitted to the academy whose previous conduct has been closely watched, and the Can themselves will have a constant incentive to good conduct, in the feet that all deviations from reaularity and good Whainiur will operate against the chanceof their obtaoung com missiom in either of the ordnance corp.,. The details of this plan are necessarily extensive,. and oral! require great prudence to determine on the treat mule of proceeding.

Justice Creswell. UTTERING COUNTBRFEIT COlN.—Mary Anne Johnson, alias Allen. alias Sampson, was indicted for felony, in utter ing counterfeit coin, after a previous conviction of a similar offence. It was proved, as is necessary in the case of indict ments of this character, that {the prisoutr was convicted in 1842 of uttering counterfeit coin, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment; and from the evidence of several witnesses, it appeared that on the 2nd October the prisoner was seen in the neighbourhood of Stratford, and upon two occasion counterfeit half crowns were found in the tills of shops where the prisoner bad made purchases, but where the fraud was not discovered until after she had left. She was at length watched into the Coach and Horses e ublic-house, at Bow, and she there tendered a counterfeit sixpence, and was taken into custody.—Mr. Payne, for the defence, said that as he was the first counsel called upon to address them, after some remarks that had appeared in a leading journil upon the subject of the administration of the law and the proceedings of counsel practising in that court, he thought it right to say that he felt perfectly convinced that no gentleman who appeared in that court to defend a prisoner would take any step inconsistent with the character of a gentleman or a man of honour; but he thought it should be understood, and he considered it perfectly consistent with the province of an advocate to take care that a prisoner, whose interest was entrusted to his care should not be convicted except upon sufficient evidence, even if he were perfectly satisfied of his guilt. —The Chief Baron having summed up, the jury found the prisoner Guilty.—Mr. Bodkin said he felt it his duty to inform the court that, in addition to the pre vious conviction which had already been proved, she had been convicted three or four times besides of offences of the same description. In the course of this case the Chief Baron took occasion to complain of the arrangement of the court with regard to the position in which the witnesses were placed. He said, that while a witness wee under examination the jury could not see the face of the witness or his demeanour, and he con sidered it very essential to the proper administration of justice that both should be within the view of the whole of the jury, or, at least, some portion of them, hut at present the witness was gaits hidden from the jury, who could see nothing but his back. He had complained before of the same incon venience, and he said be hoped it would have been remedied. —Mr. Under Sheriff Wire subsequently held • communica tion with the learned judge, with a view to an alteration of the arrangement of the court in the respect complained of. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO DRPRAIYD.—C. C. Hicks, 52, was indicted for feloniously uttering an order for the pay. meut of 71.105. with intent to defraud R. Simpson.—The pro secutor was a baker in the Wandsworth-road, and he was acquainted with the prisoner from supplying him with bread, and on the 7th September, in the evening, the pri soner brought him • paper which purported to be a check drawn by R. Hicks upon Mr. Pratt, a parliamentary agent, who had chambers at Messrs. Vacher'a, in Parliament-street, for the amount mentioned. The prisoner stated that the cheque was drawn by his uncle, whom he represented as a man worth 200,0001., and, after some conversation, the pro secutor agreed I. let him have 31. 104. upon the security of the cheque, but, on presenting it afterwards for payment, it turned out to beef no value. It appeared, in cross-exami nation, that the father of the prisoner had been an officer in the army, and Mr. Pratt had kept his accounts, but the prisoner had no authority whatever to draw a cheque upon him.—The prisoner, in answer to the charge, entered into a long detail of his history, and said that, but a few years aao, he was possessed of considerable fortune, the whole of which he had lost, and he said that he had since endeavoured to support himself and his wife by literary pursuits, and had been patronised by the Queen Dowager and other illustrious personages. He had, however, latterly become very much distressed, and for a fortnight before this transaction he and his wife had lived upon bread and water. He also said, that having by great labour and exertion completed a work which he bad reason to believe would be acceptable to the public, and be the means of releasing him from his difficulties, he had mad* use of the cheque in question to obtain the funds sufficient to enable him to publish it. —The Jury returned a verdict of Gusky, accompanied by a recommendation to mercy.—Mr. Justice Creswell said he should not page sentence until his had caused some inquiry to be made respecting the prisoner. NEW CoVitr.—Befere the Recorder, Aid. lights and Bunts= ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—R. Gregory, • person of eery respestable appearance, was indicted for stealing 31., the MIMS aide. Alderman Copeland, to whom he was servant. —Tiatimanager of Aid. Copeland's establishment in Per tweektbefet, Lincoln's-inn.fields,stated that the prisoner had been employed there as salesman, at a salary of 26e. a week, for slhast two months. His honesty was inspected, and a waives kept upon him. Some marked money was placed in the cashiers desk in the counting-house. and soon after wards 3s. were missed, end the prisoner was taxed with the theft. He indignantly denied the accusation, but one of the marked coins was found in his possession.—Mr. Powell, the cashier, identified the coin produced as one which had been marked and which had been deposited in his desk.—For the defence it was suggested that the coin found upon the pri loner might have been paid to him by the cashier when he received his wagon—The Common Serjeant, in summing up, observed that he should not express his opinion upon the bearing of the evidence against the prisoner, lest he might tato intelttanct. be accused of partiality tow•rds his friend Mr. Alderman Copeland.

Mr. Swallow discontinued to be a partner in the year 1842, and then be drew up SA affidavit for Mr. Ruston, one of the assignees, who was a pauper, to swear to, stating that there was a sumo! money unaccounted for, which was due to the matte, and was in the hands of Mr. Day.—Mr. Duncan now said he appeared for Mr. Swallow, who did not wish to make any attack upon the character of Mr. Dsy, but merely put the proceedinp in motion upon the undentanding that it was hie duty ; and he wished to protect his own respecta bility.—Mr. Cooke, for Mr. Day, said that if there were found to be any moneys unaccounted (or, Mr. Day would instantly give a cheque for the amount, but he was prepared to show that the sum said to be paid to Mr. Day, and In his hands, - was paid into the assignees' bankers', all of which was paid away, and the bankers being in advance, Mr. Day gave hie private cheque for &if. to make up the suns so paid. The accounts were settled and were in court. Mr. Swallow was the person who paid and received money, and never men tioned that there was any discrepancy until atter a lapse of ten years, when he ceased to be a partner in the firm of Day and Fowler. The learned counsel reiterated at greet length his former statement that all monies belonging to the estate were accounted for by Mr. Day, and that the affidavit prepared by Swallow for Ruston wu a concoction.—His Honour said that it struck him that the affidavit was con cocted.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before the Chief Commis.loner, VEXATIOUS rTEPEcCE:TXIt/t if:IOBINSON.—This ir.oolvent, a barrister, was opposed for a creditor, named Harrison, on the ground of his having contracted a debt without any someone - We expectation of payment, and baring vexatiously defended an action. The opposing creditor, who was now a law student, but who had at one time been an at. terney, had lent the insolvent various sums of money, amounting in the end to 6151., for the recovery of which an action was brought, and, in consequence of the insolvent's pleading thereto, the costs amounted to 1031. He had been in the habit of gambling, and had lost a great deal of money between the years 1831 ana 1839. Tho opposing creditor, however, declared that he was not aware, at the time, that the insolvent borrowed from him for gaming purposes.— The learned commissioner was of opinion that the ease did not come within the act, and appointed a day for the final order. LAMBETH COUNTY COURT. Before Mr.Ctilton, Judge. A TitADS3MaN coweirree Yolt 40 DATB.—lrEne e. Wenn.—The defendant in this case wag summoned under the discretionary clause in the County Courts Aet, upon • judgment, to show cause why, in default of payment of the stun of 181. 6s. 3d., besides costs of suit recovered by the plaintiff against the defendant, he should not stand com mitted for a period not exceeding 40 days.—The plaintiff is a flour factor, and at the time of the debt being contracted the defendant carried on the business of a baker in Dorset street, Clapham-road ; the plaintiff supplied a quantity of flour to the defendant, who made two payments on account, leaving a balance of 181. 6e. 3d. The plaintiff being unable to obtain payment of the amount sued the defendant in the superior court, and afterwards in this court, and on default of his appearance obtained judgment, and issued execution ; but on the bailiff proceeding to the premises where the defendant resided, it was stated that the business and the whole of the property on the premises were not the property of the defendant, but of his brother in-law, to whom be only acted so servant; the plaintiff there fore issued the present summons against the defendant.— The defendant called Mr. Ashley, his brother-in-law, who broadly deposed to the fact that, at the time of the service of the original summons, the defendant was in the country, and was not aware of the fact.—The learned judge then directed that the officers of the court should take an accurate note of the witness's evidence, as it might result in an indictment for perjury; and, after a most rigid examination, during which he frequently threatened to commit the witness, the learned judge succeeded in eliciting that, at the time of the service, the defendant bad only gone to Gravesend, and that he was informed of the service of the summons on the fol lowing morning.—The learned judge said he was satisfied that there was • sufficient service, and that the defendant's brother-in-law had sufficiently disgraced himself in the evi dence he had attempted to give.—The defendant denied the debt was contracted on his account—The judge stopped him by making an order forhis committal fort) days, and directed has not leaving the court, on the ground that the debt had been fraudulently contracted. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1847. or:sonar. On the day ►e married Martha Ginger he told her (the first wife) that he was going in the country to work ; and after the fact of the second marriage ►ad reached her she ascertained that for two years before he had been court ing two sisters unknown to each other, and his manners so fascinated their mother that she made him welcome to her house and table, and be lived there for days together. At length one of the sisters discarded him, an she had heard he was a married man, and he, fearing a diseloeure,dmpped the coma paadence with the other. The first wife had one child by him, and he bed treated both her and it very badly.— Prisoner admitted the truth of all this, but rid he had done nothing but what wail " strictly right."—Sentence, 1 year's hard labour. CONVICTION or Two LONDON SHAIIPIIRIL—J. 40, grocer, and IL Cholme, 37, labourer, were indicted for stealing 7 bank notes, value 61. each, 4 sovereigns, and a Spanish doubloon, the monies of R. Scott. The prosecutor, Scott, a mulatto, and a native of St. Helena, arrived in Lon don on the 2nd of Sept. as steward of the Prometheus steam• ship. On the 4th he was paid off at Woolwich, when he re ceived nearly 501. as the balance of his wages. Never having been in this country before, he made the hest of his way to London, to see its most prominent features; and, after t rading the principal thoroughfare', he wended his way tie Trafalgausquare, where the prisoner Saunders, in a counUr mall's attire, asked him to be so obliging as to inform him la whose honour " That fine monument was erected ?" Ts which Scott replied, " The immortal Nelson," to the best of his belief. Saunders said he rather thought so, but be • countryman he was not certain. Saunders proposed thee they should both proceed to see Buckingham Palace. On the road Saunders proposed to take some refreshment at • public-house; but the prosecutor objected, suit lookedneitheir respectable norclean. They went to the Duke of York publie- house, and had not been there long before Cholme entered, who seated himself at the other end of the room. Cholme and Saunders then entered into conversation, and Cholmc said that he bad recently arrived from New York, having come to this country to take p os session of a fortune which had been left hint, He had just, he said, returned from his solicitor's, who had made him an advance of 401., and be exhibited a green purse, which, to all appearance, contained about that sum in gold. He said it was his intention to spend that sum in the jolliest manner he could, as he had 1 the prospect of having as much money as he required. It I wag then proposed that the trio should visit .tstley's Amphi theatre. Before they left the room, Saunders said it would be better to secure their money, and accordingly he took out his money, and having rolled it up in a piece of paper pieced it in his fob, And Cholme followed his example. Scott then took out his "real" money, which be rolled up in pver, and Saunders volunteered to place it in the fob of his (Scott's) trousers ; but instead of doing so be dexterously contrived to put a packet containing tobacco, Be., in the fob, and put the money in his own pocket. They all then left the house. When they bad proceeded about twenty yard* Saunders suddenly re collected that his pocket handkerchief was left behind, and he asked Scott to run back for it, Scott did; but on his return neither of his companions were visible, and he was then awakened to the truth. He instantly took a cab and stopped payment of the notes, and then gave information to the police. The two prisoners were found at Doncaster. Oa their persons weve found a pack of marked cards, 4s. Bd., and 48 counterfeit sovereigns. When brought to London Scott at once identified them as the thieves ; the landlord of the Duke of York public.houso also identified them. The person whom Saunders limed with stated that on the day of the robbery Sounders was dressed exactly as Scott had de scrih.;d him to the police.—Mr. Payne, an the course of his address to the jury, observed that any jury that would con vict his client (Saunders) on such evidence would be as "green" as any prosecutor who allowed himself to be robbed so easily and neatly.—A juryman interposed, and caused much laughter by asking the learned counsel what he meant by saying that there was anything "green" about either him or his fellow jurors.—The Recorder briefly summed up, and the prisoners were instantly declared Guilty. The sentence upon each was, that he be transported for seven years. Mr. Ballantine called the Recorder's attention to some remarks he had made upon his (Mr. Ball.uttine's) conduct in a case tried before his lordship in the other court, on Tues day, when he appeared to defend a prisoner. (hose re marks bad called forth some observations from the daily press ; and had those remarks been either well founded or justifiable the observations would have been just, and what might have been expected. But as they were neither well founded nor justifiable he begged to inform his lordship that it was his intention to lay the whole matter before the Inn of Court to which they both belonged, and take its opi nion upon his conduct —The Recorder said he should not have allowed Mr. Ballantine to have made these observa tions. He had felt it to be hie duty to make certain remarks upon certain matters, and he had only to say that he still retained precisely the same opinion. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Before Br. serjeent Adams. A SHIM Banturrint's CLERK.—In the course of the day a lad named Denny was convicted of an assault upon a little girl, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Soon after he was removed the prisoner's mother informed the judge that she had paid for counsel to defend her son, but no defence had been made. In answer to the learned judge, the mother said she was standing in the hall when a persou named Flanagan, who represented himself to be a bar rister's clerk, having ascertained that she was awaiting the trial of her son, engaged to retain Mr. Horry to defend him, and to do so she gave him four half-crowns, and agreed to pay instalments of half-a-crown a week until 11. 2s. Bd., the full fee, was paid ; and after that, at his request, she treated him to • pint of half-and-half. He went away ; but soon after returned with a gentleman, who retired to a room, and then showed himself attired in wig and gown. She supposed this to be the learned gentleman retained for her son, and that he would of course defend him. However, it was 'no such thing, for her boy was tried and condemned to six months' imprisonment undefended. Under these circumstances, she wished to know bow she was to get back her money. The learned aerjeant said, that if all this was true, no doubt there was ample ground for Flanagan to be indicted for obtaining money under false pretences. He hoped she would speak to Mr. Berry upon the matter, and ascertain whether Flanagan really was or was not his clerk, and by what authority he had dared to defraud her. if he found that this was a true account, he would take care that the proper steps were adopted to bring him to proper punish ment —Mr. Mellor called the court's attention to the fact that only half a fee was paid. Mr. Serjeant Adams: The position and the respectability of the bar render it necessary that that position and re spectability should be maintaieed, but what did this poor, ignorant, and duped woman know about counsels' fees or of • barrister's practice ? Here was • man who, representing himself as an authorised clerk to a barrister, had taken half a guinea from a poor woman, on the plea that he would retain a conned for her son. No counsel had appeared in the case, but the money had been drawn from the mother. Now, all he could say in the outset was, that if this man really were a barrister's clerk, he ought not to remain so a moment longer—if he were not, he ought to be at once indicted for this offence. These poor people had the same parental feeling as those who moved in much higher station,, and their anxieties and desires to release their offspring from any difficulty in which they were placed were as acute and warm sa those of any other class. But they were in a comparative state of ignorance, and conse quently, were easily made the dupes of designing men. Their position then demanded that a degree of protection should be thrown around them u a guard against these im positions. It was an accusation made in • public wart — and, no doubt, if the facts, as stated, were not true, a public contradiction would be given by Mr. llorry— as far as he was connected. Mr. Mellor said the honour and dignity of the bar ren dered it necessary that these frauds should be exposed. There was a system carried on, in cases where liberty and character were at stake, which amounted to absolute wickedness. If the mutt were to take this matter up with a view to its abo titian, it was impossible to tell what amount of public good would be effected, not only as far as the public were con cerned, but in connexion with the bar itself. The assistant judge did not see any necessity fer the em ployment of attorneys at all to defend prisoners. By the intervention of a judge, a poor person had often had the as sistance of concert without the interference of an attorney. This was, however, a different ma•ter ; he entertained no doubt but that Mr. /lorry would make an early statement in answer to this charge against Flanagan. DISPUTED . Holmes, G. Tekell, and C. Hardy, were indicted for assaulting Themes Evershed. Oae of the defendants occupied a house is Phconixatreet, Spital fields, the ownership of which was in dispute between biro and the prosecutor. The latter proceeded, on the 16th of August, to levy a distress for rent, but was opposed by the defendants, who armed themselves with chisels and gun barrels, and attacked the premeds, and his amistants, and, a dog being let loose, fined itself upon the broker, who de scribed his position at that juncture as anything but plea unt. Wounds were inflicted, which were dressed at Bar- tholomew's tlospital. The ease became very complicated, in consequence of the introduction of the question as to the prosecutor's right of entry.—The jury, after some hours' deliberation, informed the court that seven were one way and five the other, and that there was no chance of coming to a decision. Mr. Serjeant Adams discharged them without a verdict. party.--Mr. Clark was recalled and said that the notes were not in the prisoner's handwriting. but he believed them to be in that of his wife.—The constable added that the prisoner at first denied that he could either read or write, but on his I arrival at the station-house he could do both very well.--The prisoner was then charged with obtaining two sable muff, one of them valued at 41. Lie. and the other 31. 15s. ' by means of a forged order.—Mr. J. Berneastel of 7, Great Dover-street, in the Borough, harrier, deposed to the pri soner (who was in his employment about am years back) calling about a fortnight since and delivering a note to him which directed that two muffs of the value of from 41. to 51. should be despatched by the bearer for Mews. Collins and Co., of Newington. Witness asked the prisoner how long ke had been in Mr. Collins's em ployment, and he replied about nine months. Ile re pined that he had never observed him there, upon which Russell said that he had often peen him (Mr. Berneastel) go in and out of the shop. He allowed the prisoner to take away the goods, and of course saw no more of them.—Mr. Collins was examined, and prayed that the order was not in his handwriting, nor had the prisoner ever been in h•s ser sioe.—The prisoner said that he had nothing more to say than that he was guilty, and quite prepared to undergo the punishment of his crimes.—Tho policeman said that the pi sorter had confessed that he pawned the muff,, one of them for U. at Mr. Needes', opposite White Conduit-house ' • but ho could not exactly say where he had pledged the other. With respect to the one at Needes', the prisoner asserted that he gold the ticket shortly afterwards to the pawnbroker fur 2s. 6d.—Ald. Musgrove said he should commit the prisoner for trial, but remand him for the depositions to be made out. With respect to the pawnbroker, he also must be summoned, as (if the prisiner's statement was true) he had not acted properly in first of all advancing 11. on a muff valued at 41. 1.55., the wholesale price, and afterwards purchasing the ticket for the small sum of 2s. 6d. DO W-STRERT.—Gasi nuxo TIMANSACTIONS.—A. TV. Barr and C. Rafe were charged.with others not in custody, with conspiring to defraud Mr. J. S. Kerie, a young man residing in St. Christopher's, West Indies, of 1,4501, whilst playing at cards.—A remand was applied for, but which Mr. Henry declined granting until sonic evidence was offered to authorise him in taking such a course.—Mr. Bur naby, the chief clerk, then read over the evidence upon which the warrants were granted for the prisoners' apprehen sion : I met the prisoner Barr at Cremorne-gardens on the 15th of July lest, and went with him to a tobacconist's shop, in Little Russell-street, Covent-garden, where I saw the witness Lewis. I was induced to play at cards with them and another man named Carter until I lost 30/., and on subsequent occasions lost by the same means to the amount of 1,4901. and upwards, Brewer and the prisoner It dfe being present. The largest sum I lost on one occasion was 903/., aof which I paid. The prisoner Barr represented to me that he was from the West Indies, and had estates in Jamaica, and that he had come over to this country having quarrelled with his cousin by whom the property was man aged —Lewis stated that he went with Carter and Barr to Cremorne for the purpose of " fishing up a fir," and whoever was first successful they were to meet at the same place. They saw the prosecutor there, and subsequently they met at the tobacconist's shop, having agreed to chest him of all the money he possessed, which wee to be equally divided. Oa another occasion he heard Barr say that they had got 9001. from the prosecutor ; and witness being sent for by Brewer to his house, 11, South-bank, in the Itegcnt'is Park, the prisoner Ralf° was present, and they said they had divided the 9001. between the four, telling him that Barr had his portion, in consequence of which he followed him to Gravesend and demanded it; but he refused to give him any, and he came to the determination of informing against them. In a short time after, he made a communica tion to the prosecutor. The cards they played with were all packed, and while the prosecutor was playing, his atten tion being called off, witness changed the cards, by which and by his dealing them in a particular manner, the money was won.—Mr. Ballantine, for the prosecution, inti mated that the case would at a subsequent period resolve it self into a charge of obtaining money under false pretecces, and it was questioaable if bail ought to be accepted under such circumstances.—Mr. Henry was of opinion that the charge upon which the prisoners were apprehended was bailable, and es it was upon such they should he indicted, lie should order them to find sureties themselves in the sum of 5001. each, and two sureties in the sum of 250/., to appear again in a week. WORSHIP-STREET.—Misrmnrer OP AN Ossemrs CONDI:CTOIL.— T. Witham", the proprietor and driver of a Hackney omnibus, appeared before /dr. Arnold to answer a complaint preferred against him by Mr. J. Wilson. The complainant stated that on the morning of the lith instant he got into the defendant's omnibus at Homerion ; it pro ceeded at a fair average pace until it reached Ilackney, when it came to a sudden stop, and remained there for upwards of twenty minutes. Witness and the rest of the passengers re peatedly remonstrated with the conductor, who at first took no notice of their complaints, but ultimately expressed his determination to stop until • full half hour had expired. Witness attempted to make his way out, but was forcibly prevented by the conductor, who thrust his hand off the knob, and deliberately kept the deer closed with a side strap so as effectually to preclude his egress. Witness repeatedly struck the man's knuckles with his umbrella, but the handle dew off, and finding that means ineffectual to procure his liberation, he at length, at the instigation of his fellow-pas sengers, cut the thong and attempted to descer.d, but was prevented by the defendant, who placed his hands against the peed of the door and held it fast. Wane., at the same time, kmight his whole weight to bear against the door from the inside, and whilst doing so the conductor suddenly let go the door, and witness was precipitated head foremost into the reed. 'l'he only notice the conductor took of his descent was by a loud burst of laughter. In answer to the charge the &indent acknowledged that he might have stopped longer than he was authorised to do on account of the opposition he had to contend against, but disavowed altogether any paslicipation in the alleged misconduct of his conductor. — Mr. Arnold said that a most unwarrantable outrage had been committee, and had the conductor been brought before him to answer for his share in the transaction he should have visited him with the severest punishment he had the power to impose ; but as the defendant himself did not ap. pear to have taken any part in the actual violence, he could only movie him of loitering upon his journey, and order bin to pay a penalty of 20s. and tke coats, or one month's im prionnment in default. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAtLT ON THE POLICE HY a LAWYER . B CLERK. —J. Phillipson, a soli citor's clerk, was charged with being drunk and assaulting police-constable Metcalf, C 133.—The complainant said that that morning he was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw the defendant leaning against a door in a state of intoxi cation. Witness told him that he could not allow him to stand there, and requested bins to go home. Defendant turned round, and, putting himself in a fighting attitude, attempted to strike. Complainant avoided the blow, and the defendant kicked him with great violence. Witness added that he did not think the defendant kicked him put powily.—The defendant said he had not the least recollec tion of what had transpired, as he was very drunk at the tow. He trusted the magistrate would be as lenient as he soold towards him. He was willing to make say recom pense, or to pay any fine the magistrate might impose upon hiat.—Mr. Hardwick, said he had a great mind to send him to prison at °ace, but as the officer had stated that he thought the kick was not intentionally given he should fine hiss 51., or in default to be imprisoned fur one month in the Howe of Correction. THAMES.--Curroro AND WOUNDIND.—A. Green was re-examined, charged with feloniously wounding J. Miller, who on Wednesday morning, shortly before 1 o'clock, was on his way home with another man, and saw the prisoner, who lived in Star-street, lying scrota the pavement, close to his own door, and partly in the passage. He was not aware whether his companion touched the prisoner or not, but ho immediately got up and ran after them, and threw a stone at them. They left the street, and proceeded to a public home close hy. On coming back to Star-street the prisoner ran atter them again, without hat or shoes, accompanied by his wife, who had only her night-clothes on. The prisoner struck at him with a large bamboo-case, end hit the wall. The bamboo was split by the force of the blow. They struck at each other and closed ,• the prisoner dropped his stick, took a clasp-knife out or his pocket, opened it, and made a stab at his breast. He felt the blood trickling down his body, and called out "murder." The prisoner made a second attempt to stab him, but he caught the knife in hi. hand, which was severely cut. The prisoner then attempted to stab the other man who woo in his company, but be evaded the blov. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the prosecutor admitted that he had been committed for trial born that court for a violent assault on the police, and was convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment.—J. Spence said he lived in Star street. Ile was awoke by • disturbance near his dwelling on Wednesday morning, and, upon looking out of a window, saw the prosecutor and another man dreadfully ill.using the prisoner with pieeee of a bamboo cane. Miller struck the prisoner a great many blows about the head and body. All at once he heard Miller cry out " murder," and say he was stabbed.—Another witnees also spoke to the brutal treat ment of the prisoner by Miller and his companion. —Police constable No. 85 K took the prisoner into custody, when he declared that he had ne knife, and had not stabbed Miller ; adding, at the same time, '• I wish I had had a knife, I would have run it through him."-401 K said the prisoner threw something on the ground. It sounded like a knife ; and a woman, whom he could not overtake, picked it up and ran away with it. A man in the crowd said to the wo man, as she was running away, " Don't you make off with that knife." Mr. D. How, surgeon, found Miller bleeding profusely front a wound on the breast, half an inch in depth, and of the same width, over the fifth rib, which had penetrated to the bone. There was a cut in the prosecutor's shirt, corresponding with the wound, which he had no doubt was inflicted with a knife or other sharp instrument. If the knife had been struck a little more to the left, it would have entered the prosecutor's heart and killed him. Ile also found on incised wound on the prosecutor's right hand, an Inch in depth and an inch in width.—The prisoner, in defence, said he was wantonly kicked by the prosecutor ; that an oyster shell was thrown at him ; and that he was severely beaten. He used a piece of bamboo cane in his own defence, but did not use a knife.— Mr. Yardley said the wounds could not have been inflicted with a bamboo cane and ho had no doubt the pt isoner used a knife. He had es little doubt the prisoner received a consi derable amount of provocation, and that he was first assault ed; but the use of the knife could not be justified except un der extraordinary circumstances. The prisoner, in this case, took the knife from his pocket , opened - it, and deliberately stabbed the prosecutor. lie should commit him for trial. POLICE.—YasTERDAT. GUILDHALL.—ATTIMPTINO TO OBTAIN GOODS TINDER rates Paerntscrs.—J. Russell, formerly in the employ, ea porter, of Mr. Robert Clark, 62, Blacifriars-roisd, linen. draper, was charged with attempting to obtain a piece of satin, containing 62 yards, value 381., by means of a forged order.—Mr. Brewin, clerk to Messrs. Samuel and Frederick Thompson, silk and velvet manufacturers, of 27,Woodatreee, Cheapside, stated that the previous afternoon the prisoner entered the warehouse with an order, purporting to come • from a customer, named Clark, requesting that a piece of satin might be sent by the bearer, according to the pattern enclosed, or as near as possible to it. As he (witness) was well acquainted with Mr. Clark's handwriting, he at once detected that the note was a forgery. Besides, that gentle- , 1 man was never in the habit of sending orders. He asked the prisoner who gave him the note, and he replied that while standing by a music-shop, near the corner of Wood street, a man came up and promised to treat him to a pint of beer, if he would take the order and return with a 'parcel to him in about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. He felt confident that the prisoner's statement was not true, and gave him into custody.—Mr. Robert Clark, of the Black friars-road, deposed to the prisoner having been twice in his employment. Witness never sent such an order as that produced , nor did he authorise any one else to d o se. — Police-constable 141 stated, that on conveying the prisoner to the station-house and searching him, he found another note, purporting to come from Mr. Clark, and directed to Messrs. Cash and Ledgard, of 39, Wood-street, Cheapside, woollen-warehousemen, which requested that they would send by the bearer a piece of satin similar to the sample en closed. Both orders were evidently written by the same MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY ETINIMEI. The fluctuations in the funds have been rather strong to-day, but with a manifest tendency down wards. Consols opened at 83} for time, and 821 for money, but left off 821 to for account, and 82 to for money. When it is considered that since last Battu day there has been actually a rise in the funds from 79 to 81, the present re•action of prices should create no surprise. The wition upward was excessive, and immature, because the restoration of credit could not be the work of a day ; the re-action consequent is the natural result of exaggerated expectations disap pointed. The failure of the Salisbury bank of Messrs. Brodie and Co., with branches in Shaftesbury and elsewhere, was made much of by the speculators for the fall, but in truth the whole is the affair of a bank of small issue, and contracted business. It is understood that the assets are suffi cient to satisfy all the liabilities. As Salisbury is the centre of an agricultural district, the failure will to the extent create an inconvenience and discredit. It is understood that the firm had become gradually under advance to their London correspondents upon sfeuritics, who stopped the accommodation naturally when no longer covered. The failure of the house of Risa and Co., at St. Petersburg, was reported in private advices this morning, and it may be reasonably presumed to be a bad affair, after the notice of the St. Petersburg Bank of the readiness to assist every house in difficulties through failures here who could show adequate secu rities. We have other failures reported in foreign parts, as might naturally be expected as the result of the extraordinary casualties here. Of these mis haps abroad, more may be yet expected, as the inevitable consequence of unfortunate affairs here, and of the enormous variations in the prices of produce, and of values generally. But, in the midst of these disagreeable cir cumstances at home and abroad, it is incontestable that confidence is reviving, and will increase still more as parties injured in credit, or, before, insolvent in reality, shall disappear from the scene. The Bank of England is discounting freely; but, what is of more consequence still, all other banks are now discounting freely also. This was net the case until the govern- meat broke the Bank Act on Saturday, as more pub- Hely made known on Monday. The effect is only now becoming felt in country parts, and the reaction of more confidence in dealings and money has yet to be experienced in London. In the mean time the funds are depressed, yet still, higher by some 3 per cent. than on Saturday last, which is no small rise. As neither in periods of much depression or much excitation prices continue without much fluctuation, :it may be assumed that they are now gradually approximating to their proper value, as com pared with other values bearing interest, and that hereafter they will advance or recede according to the changing complexion of other values of the day. Consols may no longer be expected to arrive at 93, or at par, perhaps, for years to come, but they must still appear to be cheap on a comparison of values at or below 83. This sort of calculation belongs, how ever, more exclusively to dealers in stocks and money values. In the meantime the government may be said to have acted wisely in enfranchising the Bank. The real capital of the Bank, taking the issue and bank ing department together, was all lent to, or borrowed by, the government. All that was allowed to the industrial public in return was the permission to the Bank to afford accommodation according to the amount of coin and bullion in hand. The public were told, in so many words, that bank notes might be had for so many sovereigns placed in the Bank. Private credit went for nothing, goes fur nothing, by • the Bank Charter Act ; whereas the government takes credit for fourteen millions of issue in its debt, whilst for " dead weight " and other securities in support of government credit, the re sources of the Bank are crippled by seven or eight million, besides. How, therefore, in such circum stances can the Bank of England be the national bank, and really serve the public The closing quotations of Reduced Threes were 811 to Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 82. to 4.

Fry, Grif fiths, and Co., was held to-day, at the offices of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Croebie, in Coleman-street. Some angry . remarks passed among the creditors, more especially about certain securities passed to Overend, Gurney, and Co., on the eve of the failure of the insolvents. It transpired, however, that the securities which were the ground of animadversion were given in exchange for others only. As the affair is likely to come before the courts for adjudication, there is no occasion to enter into its merits. Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., were reported to be credi tors to the extent of 72,0001. in round figures, but covered by securities fur 65,000/. Mr. Simpson, the solicitor of Moorgate-street, was appointed to investigate the accounts and report at a meeting to be held on the 11th proximo. The estate, as will be seen by the statement, is about the worst affair yet submitted to public inspec tion. RP.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—O: Co an, Wo Kra xi' ra, ,wan Wen. mos Tim Loo► Lane—A report is indinthoiOly etrealated that the reason, or one of the reasons. why the lap or deviation line from Abbot's Wood to Stoke Prior has not been com pleted before this. iii that the Midland Company rehme to rive a defi nite Rosser whether they will work over It or not when cerapirted. Of course it would not answer the wpm of the Oxford, Wanner, and Wokerinutipton Company to provide 1.01310 t ire% Cif r5lO/( stock and plant, merely for the purpose of working mcr the Mott segment of their railway. If the report we have alluded to were true the reason would be valid. It ►appens, however, to be exactly the reverse. We have authority for stating that so Img ago IS the 19th of March last the directors of the Oxford and Wolvirbaropton Company were briefly but distinctly informed that the Midland Company wire prepared to work over the deviation line a- aeon as it was reported ready for trail. The directors of thi. unfortunate scheme would be glad, no dolds, to abet the blame front their own shou!dens, but the pretext ia no Meter available. The red ream-and whatever the answer which may to returned to the memorial of the towncotuacil—the only real reason is the want of cask. Money cannot be borrowedbolls cannot begot In. Instead of first devoting their resources to the formation not maple tiou of the loop, the dirtetors distributed their expenditure seer on. 1 . 101.1- , portions of the line, to which the eitinens of Woreemer had no inferior and lean immediate interet ; and now that they an bring urged to finish the • Iniation. it cannot be door bemuse man i not procurable. The terns upon which the oomph bon of the fop might. and would, be guaranteed within three mouths, an an advance of 50,0001. on the company's debenture. If the claims. of Worceitar will mane forward with this amount, the directors Win evvenant to have the deviation line between Abbot's Wood and Stoke Prior ready for opening on the Ist of kabassery, 1848.
