Of 080/88 the gentlemen of the bar feel deeply interested in this quake& and during the sessions now pending in Manchester two attempts have been made to raise the question for the pot pose of carrying it to a superior court. The first was in the cue of a prisoner convicted, and Mr. Monk moved' an arrest of judgment, on the ground of illegality of conviction during the arises. The Recorder, ex peering himself somewhat hurt at the remarks of the learned judge, did not see how the facts could be got upon the record by this mode of procedure, or what bearing the could have in arrest of judgment upon a verdict already pronounced. —Mr. Pollock ( subsequently, with the same view, requested, on the p . , .rt of a mi sdemeanant, to withdraw the plea of " not guilty , and file a bill of abatement. The pleas set forth by the prisoner were that he wee not guilty, and that be ought not to be called upon to plead to the in dictment, inasmuch as the session of over and terminer or general gaol delivery was then being held at Liverpool. The Recorder esid it had been admitted in argument that the thing wan in his own discretion and was Lot a matter of right ; he should therefore do as he had done before, and he declined to allow the plea to be filed. YORKSHIRE. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES AND THE LAW OF REAL PUOPERTT.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Leeds, convened by the Mayor, in compliance with a requisition, was bold last week at the Court-house in Leeds, the Mayor presiding, " for the purpose of petitioning parliament to re move the great oppression and injustice under which friendly societies, Oddfellows, corn-mill, building, and ether societies, labour, through the operation of the laws of convey ance, which prevent such bodies from holding direct titles to real property."--Mr. D. Green moved a resolution to the effect that it is desirable to allow an alteration in the laws for the conveyance and transfer of freehold property, where by they should be placed on the same footing as regards personal property, so that societies should be enabled to purchase freehold property, and to transfer it to trustees for the time being, temporarily elected, and not, according to the existing law, be obliged to transfer it to tru tees and their heirs for ever—The motion was adopted.—lt. Baker, Esq.. moved " That this meeting is of opinion that power should be given by the legi slature to enable all friendly societies to establish branches ."—Adopted.—Mr. Eggleston then moved • resolution to the effect that it was desirable that the 10s. stamp on transfers should be reduced to Is., or even to 3d., and that motion, having been seconded by Mr. James Hole, was adopted.—lt was then resolved that a petition, embodying the resolutions. should be prepared and for warded for presentation to Sir George Grey, with a request that the borough members will support its prayer. NEWCASTLE FARMERS' CLUIL—At the lest monthly Meeting of this society, Mr. J. Chrisp read a paper on " The Occupancy of Land." The writer, after stating the necessity there was on the partof farmers to bring the land into such a state of cultivation as to draw from it every ounce of human food it was capable of producing, pro ceeded to show, with much perspicuity, the different tenures under which land was held in Northumberland, and the difference of opinion which existed relative to their effects. The fist he noticed was the lease of 19 or 21 years ; and the . second, the tenant at will, with six months' notice to quit ; and argued that neither of these methods of letting land had hitherto bad the effect generally of bringing the land, and keeping it, into the most beneficial state of cultivatiGn. The writer then said, that it now rested with him to point out a system which he believed would, in a great measure, remedy the defects of the existing tenures, and tend to the mutual advantage of landlord and tenant, and that was, to be with out a lease, but with not less than 18 months' notice to quit trots either party—the landlord to be at the expense of all permanent improvements, and the tenant to pay interest for each expenditure, &c. ; the entry to be on the Ist of May— the out-going tenant to have the away. going crop on a given number of acres. After lointing out several other particu lars necessary to complete the arrangement satisfactonly to both landlord and tenant, Mr. Christi concluded by stating it as his conviction that, were the system adopted which he recommended, it would be for the mutual benefit of both parties and the good of the country. WARWICKSHIRE. TnE =Antlers continue to hold their meetings in Birmingham ; but, says our reporter, "Their proceedings, sinos the last report appeared in the Express, have not been of sufficient general interest to render them worthy of any detailed notice. Some of the speeches have been suf ficiently violent, but these have gone the way of all smoke and the actors and their auditors have departed from the scone of action in peace and with a decorum very praise worthy. The Birmingham chartists of 1839 have somehow or other been sadly weeded and thinned since that period, and the 'Wipes are not just now in funds sufficient to pay the expense of a trip to London io swell the ranks of , monstratioo for any platonic It is likely, however, that the abstract principles of chartism find more friends amongst the middle class in Birmingham than in any other large town. That sentiment finds some corroboration in the election of such radicals as Monts and Sebolefield, who will not lose their seats for opposing Sir G. Grey's bill." .C . A.MBRIDGESI!IM, PROPOSED NEW COLLEGE.—The Cambridge Board of Education has just issued its report, which states that the attention of the board has been again directed to the important subject of the establishment of a training col. lege at Cambridge. It is thought that, in consequence of the peculiar advantage which Cambridge offered for such an institution, it would be desirable to establish there a central training school for uneaten, which should he con nected not only with the diocese of Ely, but also with the neighbouring dioceses of Norwich and Rochester. The board have appointed the Dean of Ely (Dr. Peacock), the Muter of Jesus College (Dr. French), and the Rev. H. Goodwin, 8.D., Fellow and Tutor of Caius College, to act with other gentlemen as a sub-committee, to consider in what manner the plan may best be carried into effect. The bishope of the three dioceses above named have expressed their general approval of this design. PROGRESS OF CRIME.—III the Cambridge county gaol the number of prisoners in custody in Easter Session, 1817, was only 40; in the present year the number amounts Ur upwards of 60 ; showing an increase of not lees than one ibi* or 30 per cent. The difference in the number of com- Wessman in the same quarters exhibits a still more alarming peeress in the march of crime. In the former quarter the essmlair was 67 ; in the latter 116, rather more than double. The simpeasion of railway works, and the prevalence of di . lrece anamarathe working people, are regarded as one fruitful NEM of this increased criminality. HAMPSHIRE. FIRE AND SUICIDE.-0a Monday morning, at an early hour, the people of Portsmouth were aroused by the *Lavern drums and bells giving notice of a fire. The mis- , chief had occurred on the premises of Mr.Wickham, a grocer I in the High-strut. The police, inhabitants, sad garrison were quiclay on the spot, and the fi re was confined to the shop, which, with everything it contained, was completely destroyed. The fire appeared to have originated in a very mysterious manner. Mr. Wickham, who neverslept in the house, asserted he had 3001. in Bank of England notes in a , dealt which was destroyed. On Wednesday information was brought to the police•tation that the body of Mr. Wickham had been found in the water, near Lump's Fort. DEVONSHIRE. DISSENT AND THE BISHOP OF EXETER.—The monition has issued, and, for aught we knew, Mr. Shore is now an inmate in Exeter gaol; at least, he is liable to become so whenever the bishop pleases to sue out the writ de contunsace capiendo—that is to say, for tbe capture of this contumacious person. And what has he done ? Why, just nothing but what John Wesley did far 60 years succeuively—preach the gospel without license from a bishop, and did, moreover, with this aggrava tion, that John Wesley never sought to divest himself of holy orders, as they are called, nor took one step to place himself beyond the jurisdiction of the bishop, beside the mere act of his own disorderly, ea uncanonical, conduct. We say, then, and we say it wit/t -out fear of contradiction from any one at all acquainted with the subject, that if the judgment in the case of Mr. Shore be law, then law was out of course during the greater part, if not the whole of the last century. For men were permitted to preach without license then who are not suffered to do so now; end, what is more, to do it without qualifying , or attempting to qualify, m dissenters. They went where as, would, preached when they would, an d asked leave of nobody, though clergymen of the church of Dialing, but of "the great Shepherd and Bishop of souls." Now it has been laid down in a recent case, " the Queen versus th e Arch bishop of Canterbury," by a great authority — no less than that of the Lord Chief Justice himself—that the mom are of no force in a court of law, unless their existence is both proved by evidence, and their luminance eetabilhed by NSW How comes it to pass, then, we mea dsat e tbet this canon on the perpetuity of orders has bees thee remitted to pees muster la the Court of Queen's Bandy is spinet Mr. ftore, when not sly were no such seen et its epplisstlea lime the act ot,Misention, cited in open mut, hot whoa the THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1848, . , whole seem of proalise, since the paming of that sot, was directly against sub eppliaation ?Wu it—as my Lord Den. man emphatically *AM in another ease of late occurrence —was it that there were no" Sons of Belial" in those days. as well as in these, who take so much delight in such cases, and are ever forward to prosecute the m ?

Prison Discipline is America. By FRANCIS C. GRAY. Fcw departments of the great and complex scion°e of social life have engaged so large a share of the at tention of statesmen and pnblicists in America, during recent years, as that of criminal legislation and pri.on discipline. Indeed that country has fairly taken the lead in these branches of inquiry—and European writers, generally little disposed to defer to transat lantic opinions, have almost universally accepted and adopted one or other of the prevailing theories — which have been practically applied in that country — respecting the origin of the criminal disposition and the methods of treating it successfully. The various merits and demerits of the Auburn and Philadel phian systems—generally speaking, synonymous with the congregate and separate have been, and still continue to be, constantly under discussion by European penal reformers. Most of the great powers have at various periods sent over special commis sioners into that country, to inspect the prisons oces-, ducted according to the two great normal and rival, theories, and to report thereon. These proceedings have endowed them with still greater interest; and l i the reports contain much valuable information, not only upon their particular subjects, but upon penal jurisprudence and prison discipline gene- rally. Unfortunately, however, although the commissions were sent to examine instita. dons far too young—of too limited experience— I to afford data for anything more than a temporary ' opinion—their reports were made the basis of larel and costly experiments, the issue of some of which is, of very doubtful character. These investigations were also made a number of years ago—before the different systems had been fairly and fully tried—the first apparent results of which have been entirely negatived and set aside by further experience, and the development of the novel effects of the changes of discipline ; effects which either did not present them selves, or were entirely overlooked donne the first few years. It is now ten years since the last report of the late Mr. Crawford was made ; a leng period of time in itself, and of incalculable importance in the ex perience of this particular subject ! Considering the an archy of opinion which prevails inthiscountry amongst statesmen, journalists, judges, governors,andchaplains of prisons, and indeed amongst the grest body of the community, respecting the most efficacious treatment of criminal offenders—we think that a competent commission of inquiry into the results of the now long-continued experiments in the United States of Anglo-America, will be of considerable service to the cause of penal science, and probably save the nation from the cost and loss of many useless experiments. In the meantime it may not be altogether uninterest ing to note some of the principal phases which the work of criminal reform has assumed in the trans atlantic Saxon-land. The first persevering and efficient effort to reform the prison discipline of America was made in 1787, when " The Philadelphia Society for relieving the miseries of Public Prisons ' was established. The subject had been prominently mooted in England in 1774 by the illustrious philanthropist Howard, and the interest excited by his labours probably roused the spirit of inquiry is the young republic. The condition of the public prison of Philadelphia was at that period worse, if possible, than those of England. One almost shudders to read the description of it even now. It is represented as a scene a universal riot and debauchery. There was no labour. The tried and the untried—the debtor and the atrocious murderer—young and old—male and female—black and white, were all huddled promiscuously together, lying about on the same floor, most of them without anything like bed or bedding. Intercourse was unrestricted. Intoxicating liquors were sold by the jailor at the bar, and the custom of garnish, that is, of stripping every new corner of his outer clothing to Bell for drink, was an established and unquestioned usage. Of course, no kind of instruc tion was offered to these poor wretches, and no religious service performed of any sort. Such are the naked facts, divested of all colouring. With this date of things the society undertook to deal. Their labours soon found a response in public opinion. In 1790, the legislature of Pennsylvania — at the suggestion of the society—passed an act which revolutionised the whole system. The two great aegis's of correction then recommended were labour aai solitude. The provisions of the new act were excessively stringent . Cells were made, partisl separation, and a rade sort of classification—" so ht as the convenience of the building would admit " were adopted. The convicts were clothed uniformly in coarse materials. The males had their be ard s and heads shaved weekly. All were kept on the coarsest food, and held to labour of the hardest and most servile character. In addition to this severe discipline, moral and religions instruction were provided. Bibles were introduced, and divine service was performed once a week by a clergyman of the neighbourhood. Some subsequent enactments slightly modified and improved this system, but did not effect its fundamental character and principles. The idea of solitude was, however, practically aban doned ; but labour was rigorously enforced. Hard and constant work was, in fact, the soul of the system. For some time it appeared to work wonderfully well. Those who had known the state of the old pri sons, were unbounded in their admiration of it. Crime appeared rapidly to decrease. Philadelphia for merly so infested with robbers that it was dangerous to be out in the evening—became a very Arcadia for innocence. Publicists declared that the criminals had either been reformed or had decamped into other states of the union—preferring "to run the risk of being hanged in other states, rather than the cer tainty of being confined in the peniten tiary cells of this." • From 1789 to 1793 the number of convictions actually decreased from 131 in the year to 45. This seemed decisive. The hats could not be doubted. All America was enraptured at the result. Europe, too, was soon infected with its I , success—and so complete and unquestionable did this I appear, that no attempt was made to analyse the va lue of the system as a general method of prison treat ment, or to explain the reason for the diminution of offences in the fortunate city, otherwise than by re ference to the virtues of the new system. Other cities and districts moon adopted the same ideas ; and prisons were built on similar principles at New York, Richmond, Charlestown, Windsor, Baltimore, and many other places. Bat, by and bye, unex pected results appeared. The system did not con tinue to work so well as it appeared to do at its commencement. This first appeared in the in creased number of convictions. In 1793 the minimum was reached. In 1796—when the system began to spread, and the discipline of other prisons became more rigoroes—the number reached 145. And from that time to 1807 the convictions augmented quite as fast as the population—and thenceforward in a man ner perfectly alarming. All went wrong. The model prison was represented as " a seminary for every vice"—approximating in character to the worst European gaols—and the experiment, the first results of which had been so hastily accepted and acted upon by many states—was pronounced a failure. The so ciety then recollected that it had, originally, two ele ments of correction or punishment in its plan—Weer and solitude. The latter had been overlooked in the period of their short-lived, but much vaunted, suc cess: and to this they now bad recourse. The dis cipline and whole arrangements of the penitentiary were reorganised on this idea, and the system popu larly known as the Philadelphian—the separate or solitary—became for the time established. • Lower as Pod lAw• of Pmghadi4 1714. Another course of experiments, with not uninstrue tive results, was carried on contemporaneously in the state of New York. On the report of a deputation which had been sent to Philadelphia to examine the new system, the legislature established a gaol on the same principle. For a short time it " realised all the most sanguine hopes of its humane projectors," the labour of the prisoners producing, within a trifling amount, the whole cost of their maintenance. Bat this desirable state soon passed away. Convictions augmented at a fearful rate ; the penitentiary became em barrassed ; the process of corruption went on in the prison ; and, finally, fires and formi dable insurrections become frequent Every means was adopted to produce a favourable result. Enor moue sums were expended in order to establish a darling theory, but without success. Committees were appointed to investigate the subject, and report to the government. Their opinions decided a change. They declared that, "so far as reformation is con cerned, the system had entirely failed ; and not only so, but that it operates with alarming efficacy to increase, diffuse, and extend the love of vice, and a knowledge of the arts and practices of criminality." Of course they recommended its instant abandon ment, and the establishment of a new system. Taught by costly experience, they wisely distrusted mere theorisings ; and, in counselling a new plan of disci oline and punishment, abstained from enunciating any fixed principles " of human nature, or the nature of things "—declaring that they only sought to com mence a reformation which future legislation, as time and experience should dictate, must render perfect. The alterations consisted in the abandonment of labour as an engine of punishment, and the substitu tion of confinement in cells—with solitude, silence, darkness, and stinted food, coarse quality. This wall severity with a vengeance. Anything more rigorous than this discipline could hardly be conceived. The effect upon the minds of the convicts was tremendous. The wildest were soon tamed down, or driven raving mad. Many became insane. Some dashed themselves against the walls, and others committed suicide in various ways. Although uninfected with the ultra humane notions of the present day, we can conceive of no terms too strong in which to express our abhor rence of such a species of punishment as this. Society may have a right to take life, but it can have no iniadiction over reason. put Ws. FRENCH A ND ENGLItilf CARICATCREB.—The recent events in France, and the government propositions in this country for increased taxation, have called forth a series of caricatures, in which Louis Philippe fiaures in a variety of absurd rather than amusing postures, and her Majesty's ministers ars drawn u only 11. B. or the artists employed on ' punch can manage to pourtray them. There is a very great difference between the Paris and the London produce. Un like the writs which the revolution of 1830 gave rise to, the French caricatures, on this occasion, are poor dull jokes, in differently told and badly drawn. In one we see the ex monarch in his blouse—in another, Quzen Victoria's as. tonishment at seeing him in his blouse—a third represents him as a beggar soliciting alms—a fourth, making his escape on foot— • fifth hurrying into his brougham, and &sixth in a barbs r's shop having his whiskers shaved off. The beet of all represents him kneeling before a chair on which his hat and umbrella are placed, and this inscription beneath ma (into! c'est ma tante! c'est ma tres-grande faute !" The expression, however, is very poor—very unlke what Gillray, or George Cruikahank, or the two Doyle., or the French themselves in less stirring times, would succeed in giving. ' The English caricatures to which we have referred are by the elder Doyle, and form Nos. 895 to 898 of the celebrated series by H. B. One is called " Rowing in the same boat," exhibiting her Majesty's ministers, steered by Sir Robert Peel, and might have borne this motto from Butler : For whatsoe'er we perpetrate, we do but row, we re stored by fate. A second represents "An old Coast-guard looking-out," and a "Frightened Gentleman" standing by his side. The old coast-guard (the Duke of Wellington) remarks, with iron composure, " I don't like the cut of her jib," while the frightened gentleman exclaims , his attitude beto kening his fear, " Good gracious, we shall all be murdered in our beds." We need hardly add that the frightened gentleman is the excell'tnt Earl of Ellesmere, so capitally nick-named by our witty contemporary as the Earl of Elsewhere. A third is entitled " Common Sense versus I Precedent," and represents Lord John Russell sheltering himself behind the statue of Pitt, while Mr. F. Bluing, as Common Sense, exclaims, " What! taking refuge there lapin ; " and John Bull is encouraging him on with a " Well done Frank." But the best is the fourth, called " The old Donk , y grown restive at last," representing John Bull as • donkey, held by Lord John Russell, while the Chancellor of the Exchequer endeavours to place Russell and Co.'s burden of 2 per Cent. on • back already laden with the National Debt, and Peel and Co.'s burden of 3 per Cent. Lord John is exclaiming "There clap it on him at once." to which the Chancellor re plies truly enough, "He won't let me." The humour and drawing of these English caricatures are immeasurably su perior to what Paris has produced front better materials and a more fruitful ooession. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.

EQUITY COURTS. 21 Before the Lord Chancellor. 11 IN RE ROBSON &ND AINSLIZ.—IN Trls Cann 07 11 MONCKTON v. TnitArrOaleST-GaNßltal..—The proceedings in this matter have been so frequently laid before the public, 11 that it is only necessary now to remind our readers that Mrs. le Robson and Mn. Ainslie, two old ladies now between 72 and 76 years of age have been for more than twenty years trying ; to prove that they are the next of kin of Samuel Troutbeck, who died at Madras in 1785, and whose residuary estate, now . 1 amounting to about 400,0001., was in 1794 seised into the hands of the Crown for want of heirs or next of kin to the deceased. After failing in their appeal to the Ho use of Lords 5 in 1843 (tee 10 " Clerk & Fin," 471), they presented a pet', don of right to the Queen ; and, in consequence of her Ma- 5 jesty'a direction thereon, to "let right be done," a commie lion wee issued out of this court to certain commissioners, be fore whom and a jury the petitioners made out a case esta blishing all the material facts stated in their petition, so much to the satisfaction of the commissioners and jury, that they found a verdict in their favour. Their counsel, Mr. M. D. Hill Mr. Ansley, and Mr. J. Adams , app lied to the Lord I Chancellor before the last short vacation to confirm the find- 1 lags of the jury, and allow judgment to be entered on the verdict. The Attorney-General, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Wray (with whom were the Solicitor-General, Sir F. Thesi ger, Mr. Twin, and Mr. Waddington, on behalf of the crown), opposed that application, and moved for an in- I junction to restrain the petitioners from proceeding Nether on the verdict found for them, submitting that as there were other persons claiming to be next of kin to the deceased, the proper course for the petitioners was to file a bill in this court and make the other claimants as well as_ the crown parties thereto. The reply on behalf of the crown remained to he beard when the court adjourned for the holidays. Mr. Turner was now heard in reply.—The Lord Chancellor de aired the necessary papers and a list of the authorities that were cited, to be furnished to him, for the purpose of his judgment.

BRIOOB.—LIABILITT OF iREIGHT AND SHIP'S EARNINGS TO EXPENSES INCURRED we Bnir's HUSBAND IN PREPARING THE Sale FOR THE VOTAOE.—His Honour delivered his judgment upon this case, which was noticed in this journal at the conclusion of the argument in November last. The facts were shortly as follow The plaintiff was the registered owner of one.eighth of the ship Thames ; the defendants were Messrs. Briggs, Thorburn, and Co., the mortgagees of the other seven-eighths, and the asignees in bankruptcy of the mortgagors, Messrs. Anemia and Co.. of Bristol. who had become bankrupt since the mortgage. The plaintif f wu also ship's husband, or managing owner of the ship, and in that character, in the year 1841, before the skip sailed, had incurred considerable liabilities for repairs to enable her to proceed on her voyage. , The amount remaining unpaid of these liabils ens 17,0001. The vessel after pertorming a voyage to the But Indies and to China, returned to London in September, 1843, and was then broken up and sold. The earnings of the ship had been transmitted to this country by the slap agents m India; and seven-eighth parts thereof b=2l4 residue (amounting to 6.9000, after deducting the eighth, had been paid into the Bank to abide the remelt a the present proceedings. The question in the canoe wth whether the plainti ff , who, in censequence of the beak. riaptcy of his co-owners, had become personally liable to the payment of the whole expense of the repairs, was en- titled, as sgaiut the mortgagees, to this sum, towards pay ment of the seven-eighths of the expenses, to which his co-owners, Meson. Acraman and Co, would have b e en liable, had they not become bankrupt ; or whether the mortgagees Messrs. Briggs and Co., were en titled to the fund without deduction in respect of the ex penses. His Honour said that the mortgagees were In exactly the same position with reference to that quation as the part- owners would have been from whom they had taken the mort gage. The question, therefore, was in fact, whether the' owners of the seven-eighths of the ship would have been en titled to the grow freight them in hand, or only to the net freight after payment of the expenses of earning it. Hid the Thames been employed , not in earning freight, but on a whaling voyage, and the mosey in the bank bad r vented the cargo, the cases of " Rolderneme v. Shecejr; (8 Barnwell and Cromwell's Reports), and "Ex parte Hill" (1 Maddock's Reports), were authorities, showing that the cans would 'have been governed by the general law of partnership. That law would dearly have entitled the plaintiff to have the groom earnings applied in fragment of the expenses before any divinon amongst the part owners. The Amnon i, therefore, which then occurred was whither any ' • n could be drawn between freight and cargo or other earnings.

Mrs. Mary B e ddington was charged with having stolen a pair of gloves, a pair of stockings, and a collar from the shop at Maws. Phillips and Co., mercers, Regent4treet.—An as sistant to Menus. Phillips, named Edwards, soot the prisoner same into the shop th day and made a selection of some M which she wished to be packed in • parcel and sent to a MTS. Roberts, of Carlton-terrace. Witness suspected the prisoner, and on watching her closely he saw her take something trim the counter and place it beneath her shawl. As she was about to leave the shop she was stepped and *barged with the offence of stealing. When searched at the station-house the property now produced was found in her posseseion.—The prisoner, who was very genteelly dressed,in a rambling incoherent way, begged the magistrate to send for bee husband, who would tell him all about it. She said that her husband had gone to the Bonk b receive some money at the and of a Chan cery suit, and she bad contrived to leave home without the knowledge of her family.—Mr. Hardwieke asked the witness Edwards if the prisoner exhibited the same incohe rence when making purchases I—The wiliest' said, certainly not. The prisoner was as collected and sensible as the most rational of the customers.—Policeoonstable Mould add the ID-Moiler certainly did not exhibit the same eccentricity of when be took her into custody.—Mr. Hardwicke said it would be as well to make inquiry of the prisoner's friends, whether the present irrational manner and speech were only assumed or whether the prisoner really laboured under disordered intellects. lie should direct the police to make the requisite inquiries, before he finally committed the prieoner.—The prisoner was then removed, and when in the lockup cell she gave her address No. 2, Mountford-road, Westboume-road. MARYLEBONE.—COMMITTAL OF A SIIROION 101 TER HituucTiON OF A CLERGYMAN'S DAUGHTER.—Mr. Th o mas Buxton Barnes, a surgeon, at Thaxtcd, Essex, who, on Friday last, was charged with having, on the lst of Aril, unlawfully taken an unmarried girl, Marian Frances Jane Harvey, she being under the age of 16 years, out of the posusion of and against the will of Themes Harvey, her father, was again examined. The particulars of the ease have already been given by us.—Defendant was committed, but was allowed to put in bail to the amount of 1.0001. — namely, himself in 6001. and two sureties in 2501. each for kis being forthcoming to meet the charge at the sessions. RAILWAY NEWS. Altogether the share market continued in progress. Better prices were realised both at the public rale and ' by private bargains. There is reasonable ground for belief that the low prices brought in some portion of dividend money for investment in several of the reputed lines. French shares also were more firm, from the statement reported of the French finance minister, that the government did not propose abso lutely to take possession of the lines on terms of their own dictation, but that the shareholders would be previously consulted, and the conditions left at their option to accept or refuse.

The stock market underwent some rather remark able phases to-day. Consols opened strong at 83, which was a rise at once of t per cent. upon the closing quotations of yesterday. They were subse quently done at 84, and quoted as high as 831, but having reached this highest point, began gradually to decline, and left off at 823 to p, for money, the ac count being due to-morrow. After the official hour of business, however, the transactions presented an unaccountable change. Console went down to 811, making a difference between the highest and lowest rates of the day of no less than 2 per cent. Finally, however, purchases restored the rate of unofficial business to 82. The state of the account, the concluding prepara tions for which could no longer be delayed, as the settlement comes off to-morrow, would explain to a certain extent the precipitate ascent of prices in the early part of the morning. It is now evident that a much larger proportion of the speculative operations for the fall was left uncovered than bad been pre viously conceived. The opinion was, that the bulk of the account might be considered as almost generally balanced for some short time peat. If inch were the case, as possibly it might be, then the account could only become again confFicated by renewed specula tions, which may be readily imagined to have been entered upon and suggested by the political changes and excitements that almost every day has been so fruitful of abroad and at home. This also was option day, and it is understood that the quantity of stock called was of very considerable amount. Where the parties having taken money for, therefore subject to, " call," and, from the state of prices, sure to have thei stock "called" at the usual hoar, were unprovided with it for delivery,which in the majority of instances may be assumed, they were necessarily forced into' the market to supply themselves on the beet terms possible, and a demand thus created would armlet in raising prices. Again: the dividends upon various classes of securities which have recently become due, and still are in course of payment, must have brought multifarious amounts of money forward for re-invest meat, in small parcels no doubt separately, but in the aggregate constituting a large sum. This combina tion of causes would seem to account in a great degree for the seeming rapidity of the advance of p e k e , the early part of the day. After option time qu o t a . tions declined in the natural course of reactions upon a partially forced advance. It is more difficult to tin. derstand the subsequent fall of prices in unofficial hours. Unfavourable reports from abroad, Intl fro m Ireland, were vaguely spoken of, which appea r to have merited little attention, as the rise al erwar i l a would seem to justify. It may be mentioned, th at bargains were currently done during the day at Ile s for next account than for the present, but as W A t e the usual difference in ordinary times betwixt be at .. nese for time and for money, it can scarcely be ca a , strued into what is technically called a "ba c k. wardation,"_ Reduced Threes left off 811 to Z Three-ando.

IRON-MASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.— Woixsaluannor, Aram 12.—The second of the usual quartet, meetings of the irooanaaters of South Staffordshire sad Shropahus has been held to-day at the Swan Hotel in this town. The filet tech place at Walsall yesterday. The attendance to-day was not name. roue, and the business was proportionately limited. The tem al state of the trade does not appear to present much of matter for ore. gratulation; but the orders in hand are sufficient to enable the mar ten to keep the works pretty much employed, and the prospects an sufficiently encouraging to lead to the inference that no further redo. non of price ie impending ; in fact, for some dftcriptions of the cam. middy (especially pigs) current rata are firm. The ova of *thin in this district, with all its gloom, preemie at least a of picture, as compared with the last quarter-day. At that time thousands of the men were out upon strike, and all the large works were standing still ; now operations are resumed with tolerable briskness, and the differences between the masters and men have, to all appearance. been tisfactorily ednajted. The rural trade of the district deprdas ea ed almost beyond parallel all pet concurred in this opinion to-day, yet it la believed that uomunts were paid with tolerable punctuality. The embarrassment of the pried. palm at a rather considerable iron-work in the district (Cratungdee and Co-, of Lye Brook) has created some stir in the trade the amount of liabilities is not stated, bet I believe that a meeting of the ereditors has already hew convened. At the more important meeting of the trade, whkill takes place at Birmingham to-morrow, some more " sine information will doubtless be gleaned ate toe semi state Gide wade. There la no doubt but that it is infinitely worse than at the correapanding period of hat year ; at the same time it in fair to es aurae that as soon as the panic in the railway market shall have sal• sided, increased vitality will be given to the progress of the Uwe la course of construction, and that an additional impetus will arse hats the circumstance of the great companies not then Ne d orde inn* sparingly for general purposes as they have done during last kw months. 12.—Ship9, 142 ; told, 65. ~..,:ms& 4. & BVSPIISLA ND. 4 4.
