correspondent of the Times, who says in continuation, " Let I the poor i cople get work of some kind ; 1,900/. worth of labour thrown among them will be a greater boon than charity, and remunerate all parties. I feel deeply the wretchel state of my poor fellow-countrymen, for they are not responsible for their own wretchedness; the system that prevails of letting the land is the abiding curse of the islands." Another correspondent states, that "not only is there in the Shetland Islands a great low in the potato crop, but in some districts a great want in the oats. This 'unfor tunate lees is increased by the quantity of cattle that died last winter, and from the present disease in potatoes, a re duction in the price of our ling and herring, which is nearly Our only produce." Tor. EDrrATION SCHEMR OF THR CHrRCR OF SCOTLAND is thus officially stated: "The peculiar aim of the Assembly's scheme is this—to supply deficiencies in the national provi sion for parochial education, and thus :—A pariah increases in its population, aid one parochial teacher cannot possibly serve the purpose of his appointment. There must he sup plemental schools set down in that narish. A parish is of very large extent—as in the Highlands and Islands. There must be supplemental schools in that parish. Who is to pro vide the means of education there ? Often, in the ireagerness to get instruction for their families, the poor Highlanders, in their remote glens, have put together their scanty savini,s to maintain among their hamlets a stripling teacher, who spends the winter months in the care of their children. But this arrangement is quite inadequate—is only partiatly effi cient—and is always temporary and precarious. Addi tional, and a very different sort of provision is needed. And the church endeavours to supply it. Through the help of her attached people she has already supplied it. And were the help to keep pace with the demands which, month after month, arc made on her for more schools, how widely could she now extend the blessings of such a provision. The schools already erected by her are chiefly in the Highlands and Islands, where, owing to local and natural impediments, the wants are so great. There are about Its 7 schools at present on the Assembly's scheme. Upholding these for another year is now suspended on the resu't of the ensuing collection. But, be sides, an increase to their number is urgently re quired. Such are the demands for an increase of them; so numerous are the petitions for new schools now lying before the committee, that, had they the means of &ingest, their resolution of next meeting might at once bring up their numbets far beyond two hundred. They 110 N carry on the education of more than fifteen thou sand youth in their schools. Had they the means, they could soon report their twenty thousand. It is but a very small sum which the instructing of a single scholar costs during one year. Will not this he a high gratification fur a contributor at the church-door to go home With the thought, I have this day given what may be enough for educating in useful and religious knowledge the soul of a fellow-crea ture tiil next collection time ?" In truth, the Church's Education Scheme, with her schools, and her two Normal Institutions at E'linburgh and Glasgow for qualifying teachers how to teach, is a scheme, the supporting of which is the promoting of substantial and enduring good." OPP.HINO or rue. Pouts.—The workers in the weaving factory of Messrs. Robert Gourley and Co , Corbels, Glas gow, have sent a memorial to her Majesty's ministers to open the ports for the adMssion of grain and every article of pro- visions free from duty. Other workshnpa and factorb s in the neighbourhood are about to follow the example. A me morial has also been agreed to by the op rativc cotton spin ners of Johnstone, praying her 'Majesty to use her influence for abolishing the duty on the importation of foreign food. The slocum , nt is of consider& le length, and argues the ne cessity of the measure strongly, on account of the depressed condition of the operative classes, caused by the present high price of provisions.

THE RFCTXT the latter part of last week, Keswick and the neighbourhood was visited by another Hood, exceeding anything of the kind for the last 1.5 years. It commenced raining about Tuesday, and continued with scarcely any intermission until Saturday evening. On Saturday morilintr the flood was at its height. The two lakes, Bassentiiwaite and Derwentwater, were so swollen that they again formed one entire sheet of water of twelve miles in extent, and the water was hither by fifteen inches than it was in the flood about three months bark. The road from Peel-wyke to Keswick was all under water, many places being some feet in depth ; and the road from Keswick to Lowdore, into Borriwila!e, was flooded to an extent which prevented many farmers from visiting Keswick market. Indeed, pidestnans could not come at all. On Friday the rain was incessant, and was accompanied with a high wind, which, towards evening, increased to a hurricane. At Braith waite the food cam: down the Grinsdale I'ike resembling the whiriss intl. Snow was seen on the top of Skiddaw for the first time this season on Tuesday. .:11V EILSFTsII llt F.. As nsan.r..sf: tN r Posertos;.—Mr. B. Arthur. of Wood street, on his way from Taunton to Bath on Friday, found himself in a very awkward situation. Being aldne with another wentli man, On leaving Ilighbridge station, he heard something running down ou the seat and bottom of the car riage. Supposing his fellow-passenger to be unwell, he inquired, but received no answer. Immediately after, the gentleman ma le a most strange noise, something between a cry and a groan, and fell across the bottom of the carriage. It was quite dark, and no person was on either of the seats next to them. On arriving at Banwell, it was disco vered that the s'ranger had attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a penknife, whi:h was lying on the seat. Amen was placed with the attempted suicide, and he was taken on to the Bristol station, where he was recognised and carried to one of the hospitals. DEVONSIMtE. A case OP St srnermi My gum is thus reported by the Devonshire Chronicle of yesterday :—" A well-known in habitant of Taunton, named T. Orono, thirty years of age, came by his death on the night of Monday last in a some what mysterious manner. For some time past, the deceased, who was a stone-mason, had been working in connexion with his father and a younger brother, who were also masons, in the erection of a In idge at Ilalherton. On leaving work on Mon lay night. the lather and brother repaired to their lodgings, a short distance from their work, after having re ceived a promise from deceased that he would follow them immediately afterwards. A consideraMe time having elapsed, and the deceased not appearing, the father returned in pur suit, whin he found him at an inn near the bridge, hut re turned without him. Shortly afterwanls a man with whom deceased had been working, named Bailey, was proceeding to the house of deceased's father, where he also lodged, when he was attacked by three men, who severely kicked and beat him, so as to render him almost insensible, at the same time uttering imprecations on the next person they should meet with. It is supposed that about this time, it being then between 11 and 12 o'clock that night, the de ceased came up, as he was seen on the road shortly before, and either hearing the threatenings of the villains who were but a short di,tance from him, took shelter upon the Taunton and Tiverton canal bridge, and thus fell into the river, or else was brutally murdered and thrown into the river. The latter rumour is generally supposed to be cor rect. The deceased not arriving at his lodgings for the night, early next morning search was made, when he was found in the canal. On examination, several severe braises and wounds were discovered about the head, especially under the ears. An inquest was held on Wednesday in Ilalberton, when a surgeon, attended and examined the body, but from not having made a post mortem examination. could not state the direct cause of death, and no evidence being adduced to implicate any particular parties, a verdict of " Found Drowned " was recorded. It has since been ascertained that three men have left their employ at Haifa:nen under rather suspicious circumstances; this, coupled with a :eport that a cry of murder was heard near the bridge about the time the deceased was passing it, together with the bruises about the head, makes it gene rally believed, in tiro neighbourhood where the melancholy circumstance occurred, that the deceased came by his death by foul means. OLOUCE.S7I:R.SIIIRF. THE BEIM LLEY ''FA;tII.Y DIFFERENCE..—(From our Bristol corretimmlent.)—The quarrel between Earl Fitz- bardinge and his brothers continues to be a general topic of cony:nation among all classes in this city, and different rumour. arc current as to the cause in which it originated. Considering the present character of the county constituen cies, and the influence which, under the tenant at will system must be pc,ssessed by the landlords, it is not at all unlikely that the proud Baron of Berkeley will accomplish his threat of ousting his brother Grantley : but his threat ened withdrawal of his influence from the member for Bristol is looked upon by all claws here as the most idle bit of bombast possible. Lord Fitzhardinge could not at the utmost intim nee ball-a-dozen sohy in the entire constituency of Bristol. lle has neither been munificent nor courteous enough to make friends, and the little respect he does possess i of a 'secend-hlntled character, arising rather nut of his being the brother of our member, who is really popular, than from nny uteri!. of his own, Lord Fitzhardinge had better not trouble himself about Bristol ; he will find any effort he can make to ovetkule or influence the electors as futile as his threat is paltry anti absurd. _ NORFOLK. . . A MEV:TIN° orTrsa,T 1 7 .titZ;itS was held in Norwich on Saturday lest, to hear a deputation from the " Total Re peal Malt-tits Association," explaining the principle, and ohjecta of that society. The attendance was numerous, and after several speeches bad been delivered, the farmers pre sent agreed to a resolution condemnatory of the malt-tax, and favourable to the agitation for its repeal. SUFFOLK. Tat' One. c \ n, ANI;;;;;IIPAUFER IN THE RISRO ROI:OH UNION.-11AVERIIILL, TrESDAY EVYNING.—This day, at one o'clock, Sir John Welchem, Bait, the assistant Poor-law commissioner for Suffolk and adjacent counties, met a ',cry numerous meeting of the guardians attached to Ace Hisicorough Union, at the Haverhill workhouse, for the purpose of inatitutiug an official inquiry into the treatment of the dereasod John Webb, late a pauper in the union, whose ill-a age '4 a- the subject of much condemnation of the • coroner's jury who recently investigated his death. After some conversation on points of form, between the aasiatant eo:nrnissioner, the clerk to the board of guardians, and Mr. Jackson, the solicitor for the family of IVebb, the deceased pauper, Mr. S. S. 0. Eastcott, medical officer of the union, was called. He deposed that Slater acted as nurse in the union. There had been two females acting as nurses, but they were discontinued. Slater possessed no peculiar quali fication for nurse; he had acted in that capacity for about three years. As medical offiaer, he had had no occasion to complain of Slater's conduct to the poet.. None of the poor complained ever of being ill-treated by Slater ; at least be never heard of such being the case. Such complaints were not made to him. Upon two occasions he observed, in con sequence of what Slater said, that the paPient, John Webb, had been injured. The old man (Webb) was childish and imbecile. Witness did not believe hint to be a lunatic in the sense of the term used in the act recently passed with reference to such patients, and he did not think ho was in such a state as to require him to be removed to such an whim as those named in the act. There are no such parties now in the house or infirmary, nor have there been any removed within the last three months. Elizabeth Grainger was removed, but that was before any thing was said about Webb's case. He knew nothing of the fact, as deposed to in the statement of Hirrcll, as to dragging the man Webb up-stairs by • rope, as stated by that youth at the inquest before the coroner.—The Assistant-Commissioner. Were the medical books in your daughter's handwriting, and not signed by yourself, acknowledged by you?—Mr. Eastcott: Yes, for they are looked over by me daily, and admitted as correct, before my daughter makes them up from the memoranda I have of certain facts which come under my notice during the day. They are always compared by me before they are sent in to the Board of Guardians. Every entry in the " Medical Return Book" is in my daughter's handwriting, but they have all been examined by me. W. Smith, of Birdbrook, an insane person, whose name appears there, has left. We only had him here one week.—The Rev. W. hicks, chaplain of the Risborough Union: Had no reason to complain of Slater's conduct. Would not say by any means that Slater might not have used such lan guage, or acted in the way sworn by parties at the late inquest. I have encouraged Slater's kindness by many pre sents at different times, far his humanity to the poor sick paupers confided to his charge.—J. P. S. Hall, Esq., one of the guardians, was next examined : When Mr. Jack son informed him of the charges against Slater, he could scarcely believe it. He then went and saw Webb in the infirmary. There was a bruise on Ilia head at the back. Slater was there at the time. Ile inquired of him what was the matter with his head ; to which he made answer, "Pooh ! Pooh!" Witness then inquired whether they were all satisfied with the treatment they received in the infirmary. They answered they were.—lt being here ne cessary to take the statement of some of the paupers in the infirmary, Sir J. Waltham, and several of the guardians, and the reporter, proceeded to the ward, where the following par ticularswere taken :—William Hammond, a pauper, lying in the infirmary, said that he had been nine or ten years in the union. Did not recollect " Punch Webb." A short time after he broke his leg in the union, he was pushed down in the garden. Slater did not do it. Did not know Slater, the nurse. (The poor fellow exhibited the strongest symptoms of imbecility.) Thomas Metcalf was asked a few questions, but bring paralytic and otherwise infirm, he was unable to give the slightest evidence. In fact, the whole of the inmates appeared to be in a. in'erior a condition.—Abraham Big more, a pauper, who said that he had been eight years in the workhouse, was desired to give evidence. On the commis sioner teneering him a bible, to swear to the truth of his testimony, he observed, "I'ray don't let me take an oath." This part of the proceeding was consequently dispensed with. He then said that he had seen Slater slap Webb's face now and then. He had heard Slater swear.—At this juncture of the proceedings, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, the report was despatched, so as to meet the train.—The in quiry is not likely to close until past midnight. ANOTHER SHAMEFUL ATTEMPT TO THROW A TRAIN OFF THE LINE w•ax made on Sunday evening last. On the train which left Chelmsford at 8 in the evening nearing legate stone Station, a slight obstruction upon the rail was felt, and upon examination it was found that an iron chair had been wilfully placed across it, but was fortunately crushed by the weight of the engine. A porter there happily took the pre caution to examine the rails some little distance upwards, when he found several other chairs similarly placed with the like villainous intention. ....-.-- ....-....-... lb:1.111AL OP INTERMENT AT BAREINO.—On Sunday last an extraordinary degree of excitement was occasioned in the above place, in consequence of the Rev. Mr. Denton, curate of Barking, refusing to inter the body of the late Mrs. Rushton. Due information had been given that the funeral would be at the church at 3 o'clock; but, when the proce,sion arrived at the churchyard gates ( which are usually kept open on Sundays), they were found closed, and after stopping same time in the road, the mourners were obliged to retrace their steps. The deceased had been visited during her illness by one of the Plymouth Brethren, which circumstance, among others, it is supposed, gave offence to the vicar and curate. The body of Mrs. Rushton remains still uninterred.—/;lobe. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1E46. CirricaL PIUTMIIII.NT4.—Fter. 0. M. Black to Anndong T.C, Ireland.— Bev. F.

DIr•IVTEL) AD.II'I , IC%TION.—This day a fiat in bank uptcy was sqnght to be instituted against William Morton , of Cannon-street, Commercial-road, draper, at the suit of Messrs. Roan and Co., of Friday-street, warehousemen, upon whose behalf Mr. Cooke was engaged. The act of bank ruptcy was sought to be made upon a deed bearing date the 4th of August, 1546, which was signed by several creditors, accepting a composition for their dehts.—Upon the part of the alleged bankrupt it was contended, that as the petition ing creditor had agreed to take the composition of 14s. in the pound at one time, be could not now come here to institute an act of bankruptcy.—Mr. Commissioner Evans : But you must inow me that he did consent. He has not signed the deed.—Several witnesses were then examined, the sub stance of whose evidence went to show, that Mr. Ratan would have accepted composition bills of 14s. in the pound given by David Morton, but other claims having been made against the estate, and reducing the dividend to lls. 6d. in the Pound, he (Mr. Roan) would no: consent —His Honor said: I am of opinion that Roan did c-msent to take 14s. ; but it being reduced afterwards to Ils. 61., ho would not. If such a course as this were sanction' d, it would give an opportu nity of practising gross fraud; for a person might show 20s. in the pound for a purpose. and only have sixpence. I must declare William Morton a bankrupt. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. The general quarter sessions for the county of Surrey were held today at the Court-house, Kingston. OVER-FILLED PRISONS.—It appeared, by the reports of the governors of the different Houses of Correction, that their establishments were not sufficiently capacious to con tain the increased number of prisoners committed to them ; and that, during the intensely hot weather, three and four pri•oners had been confined at night in one small cell.—Mr. Johnson said that, after hearing the reports that hail been read with regard to the crowded state of their gaol., and when they considered the sufferings to which the unfortunate prisoners must of necessity have been subjected, ha thought that, without pledging themselves to any particular system, it was necessary that something should be done to remedy the existing evil. lie, therefore, moved that a committee be appointed to take the subject into consideration, and report upon the best means to be adopted to provide adequate gaol accommodation in the county. The motion waa carried unanimously. THE CASE OF MARIA ROAST —Mr. Parrett said he should be glad if Mr. Sibley, the keeper of the House of Cor rection at Brixton, would give some explanation in reference to the charge that had been made aga-nst him in the public prints, of having ill-used one of the female prisoners in his charge. The case referred to will he fresh in the recollection of the public as having been heard at the Lambeth Police Court, where it appeared that a woman named Maria Roast bad been kept for twenty-four hours with her hands handcuffed behind her hack. Mr. l'arrett inquired whether it was ecrrettly stated that the woman had two pairs of handcuffs on ?—The governor re plied that it was the fact, but he seas not aware of it. The turnkey without his knowledge had put on a second pair upon finding that the first were much too large.—The Chair man said that by Rule 80 of the Gaol Regulations the go- Tensor of a prison had the power given him to handcuff a prisoner, but it could he o , ly done where he considered it absolutely neceasary; and then he was bound to report the circumstance and to make an entry in his book, and lie could not keep a prisoner in that state over 21 hours, with out the order of one of the visiting justices.—Mr. Briscoe remarked that at all events this ru'e had been violated, for the power was only delegated to the governor himself and not' to a turnkey. —Mr. Barclay said, that as one' of the visiting justices of Brixton, he had thought it right to make inquiry into this circumstance, but upon becoming acquainted with the facts, it was not considered necessary to make special allusion to it in their report. Al though he acquitted the governor of the charge of cruelty that had been made against him, he must express an opinion that it was very improper to use handcuffs in this manner, and he considered it little better than a species of torture. He believed that in the present instance what had been done was absolutely necessary for the peace of the prison, but he hoped before long the use of irons in prisons would he altogether abolished.—ln answer to questions put by the court, Mr. Sibley described the conduct (lithe woman, which appeared to have been of the most violent and outrageous description. She was first placed in a dark cell, where she was aept twenty.four hours, but this had no effect. She tore up her clothes and bedding, and assaulted the turnkey, who went into the cell, in a must violent and beastly manner; and then it appeared the handcuff. were placed on her. The explanations given by the gover nor appeared to he perfectly satisfactory to the majority of the court, and Mr. Nicholson said he thought the question was one of so much importance that he considered it would only be right that a resolution to that effect should be peed by the court.—Mr. Humane said he could not agree to such a motion. Ile knew nothing of the case before, but what he had heard satisfied him that the punishment was an exceed ingly improper one. Ile was of opinion that if the prisoner had been placed in a solitary cell it would have had the desired effect, and that putting her in a dark cell, and plac ing handcuffs on her, was only calculated to harden her and induce her to persevere in her disorderly conduct.—The motion was then formally put and carried. 'l'he court at the same time rxpreasing regret that two pair of handcuffs had I been made use of, although it did not appear that the addi tional pair had caused increase of punishment. FLOW:ING IN ti sol.s.—Mr. Briscoe then made a motion in pursuance of a notice he gave at the last sessions, that the ; recommendations contained in the last report of the Prison Inspectors—that the practice of Hogging boys under 14 years of age with the cat o'-nine-taila, in the gaols, should be IIiNCOII. tinued—should be carried into effect. He would merely read to them the statement made by the Prison Inspectors, from which it appeared that, iu 1844, 33 boys had been flogged ; in 1845, 39; and in the following half year, 17. Of these, I one was a child 8 years old; another was 10, who hail re ceived 24 lashes ; and one boy of 12, after receiving 13 lashes, fainted, and was declared by the surgeon unable to bear any more. The Inspectors went oil to state, that the cat was of the orcinary description, and it was used entirely at the discretion of the governor; but, when it was used to any young lads, three of the ladiev were tied up. Mr. Briscoe concluded by moving that the recommendation as to the dis continuance of the cat-u'-nine-tails to boys under four teen years of age be adopted. —Mr. Amain seconded the motion, and only regretted that it ,lid not go to the extent of abolishing such a punishment altogether.— Colonel Challenor said that they should not forget that this degrading and horrible punishment, as it wassailed, was very freely made use of at )-ton and the other public schools, as many gentlemen he saw around him could no doubt testify. (A laugh.) Tkey bad very strong reason to remember the black rod avid the right arm of the master after they hail been guilty of driving a tendon or hunting a badger. (Re. I newest laughter.) He agreed with Mr. Barclay, and thought that many a boy would have been saved from ruin if the magistrates had the power to order a flogging instead of send ing a young lad to undergo the form of a trial. If the boy Jones had been well flogged at first, he would never have gone a second time to the l'alace. (Much laughter.)— The motion was put, but as the only magistrates who held up their hands in favour of it were the mover and seconder, it was of course lost by a large majority. POLICE YESTERDAY. GUILDHALL—A clerk from Dixon's Repository, in Barbican, attended before Sir Peter Laurie, to answer the complaint of George Lowton, of Pewter Platter-yard, St. John-street, and show why he should not deliver up a elarence cab which had been unlawfully deposited with him by 1 friary nett, who was also summoned at the instance of Mr. Dixon, for obtaining front him 51., under the false pre tence that he was the owner of the cab, and entitled to authorise Mr. Dixon to sell it without reserve.—The com plainant deposed that he engaged with Fleet, a carriage painter, to deliver to him a pair of new wheels, value 5/., as a compensation for painting a cab he was building. The painting was estimated at di. The cab was sent to Fleet's on this understanding, and when it was comilete, he came to look at the wheels. He was dissatisfied with them, or profes.ed to be so, and immediately sent the cab to Dixon's repository, and olitain«l M. advance upon it, leaving it far absolute sale for 45/.—Mr. Dixon's clerk put in a book which the defendant Fleet had signed, describing the property as his own, and authorising Mr. Dixon to sell it without reserve on a fixed day.—Fleet said the p+inting of the Clarence was worth 51. The wheels made by Lowton were not worth near 4/. he considered them rubbish If he could not get money from LOSS ton, how was he to pay hi- journeymen —Sir Peter Laurie said he had nothing to do with his means of paying his men. He had made a contract for an exehamm of labour. If there were just grounds for refusing the wheels, it was his duty to return the carriage, and sue for the amount of his demand. He had no right to pawn or sell the goods of his customer. But beyond this, he had deliberately signed a false statement that he was the owner of the pro perty, whereby he had obtained 61. He was afraid he must send the case to the Old Bailey. Mr. Dixon could not hold the cab against the real owner. It must be given up to Mr. Lowton, ant therefore Mr. Dixon was defrauded of the 51. he had advanced —Fleet said he had the authority of the party for whom Lowton was building it to sell it for 42/.—Sir Peter Laurie said he could have nothing to do with his em ployer's customers. It was Mr. Lowton 's till he delivered it to the person who orZered it. Fleet hail acted illegally, and he should send him to the Old Bailey if he did not believe he had acted from ignorance.—After herring Sir Peter', view of the matter the parties obtained leave to retire and arrange the matter. CLERK EN WELL. COCKNEY SPORMSIEN.—He nry Westbrooke and William Bakombe were charged with a violent assault upon John Morel', grown to Mr. Collinson, solicitor, Bedford-row, and Camden-town Villas. On the previous evening, the prisoners went into some fields at Camden town, having une gun, and commenced shooting. The complainant, who hail orders from his master to send away such sportsmen, quietly desired them to leave. They forthwith knocked him down. Westbrooke struck him s.hen lying, so violently with the butt-end of the gun, that he broke it. Balcombe then seized the barrel, and both beat him very severely. A policeman came, and they were arrested. Waddington, the gaoler, said, the conduct of these cockney sportsmen imperilled the lives of the inhabitants of Camden-town and Maiden-lane. On 1 humility last, one of them firing at some pigeons, discharged the contents of a gun into a bed-room, where a woman was lying in her . accoliehemeal. And in James-street, Maiden-lane, a fancily whilst sitting at breakfast were almost frightened out of their lives by the greater part of a charge of small shot breaking the windows of the room in which they were sitting.—The prisoners were committed for a month each. THEKNIFE.— Rebecca ('la rke wascharged with attempt ing to murder W. Kirk, her step-father, a turnkey in the New Model Prison. The prisoner, who is about 17 years of age, has been keeping bad company lately. Kirk remonstrated with her on the wickedness and folly of such conduct, but she immediately seized a knife and made a thrust at his abdo men. He seized the knife arm, and held her until assist ance came, and she was then removed to the station-house. The prisoner, when arrested, said it was her intention to have stabbed her father.—ln defence, she said her parents treated her with great cruelty.—She was committed in de , fault of bai'. WORSHIP-STREET.—FATAL CASE or STABBING. — Yesterday Anne Sinner, alias Boirey, the eating-house keeper, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton for final examination, charged with the wilful murder of a labourer, named Daniel Crawley, by stabbing him with a carving knife. The facts of the case have already been published in our journal of Oct. 13. Mr. liolman and Mr. Words worth, two surgeons of the London Hospital, described the nature of the wound as an incised one, dividing the cartilage of the fifth and sixth ribs, puncturing the pericardium, and gorging the cavity of the chest witk two quarts of blood, leaving no doubt of the death having been caused by the stab inflicted with the knife.—'fhe pri‘oner, who, by the advice of her solicitor, expressed her intention to reserve her defence, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —SWELL-mon MOVE MENTS.—John Stephens, a well-dressed man, was charged by Horsford, one of the Mendicity Society's constables, with having formed one of a gang of well-dressed thieves who had succeeded in picking the pocket of a lady in Tottenham court-road. Horsford said he was walking in the New-road, near Tottenham-court-road, about 3 o'clock that day, when he saw a handsomely-dressed little boy, with two or three men apparently covering his operations, walking behind two ladies. Seeing the boy leave the ladies, and go towards the 111C11, one of whom was the prisoner, and afterwards run away, he went up to the ladies and asked if they had lost anything. One of the ladies said she had been robbed of her purse. He then ran back and seized the prisoner, whose hat fell off, and a purse rolled on the pavement. The purse was picked up by an individual named Norris, who was passing at the time, and it was immediately identified by the lady. Miss Emma Webb, of Charlotte-street. Fitzroy square, said the purse was her sister's, Mrs. Wells', property. It was safe in her sister's pocket just before they were ac costed by the witness Horsford.—The prisoner said he picked up the purse himself, and gave it to the lady who owned it. The prisoner said he was a stranger in London, having only arrived on Saturday last.—Remanded till Saturday. MARY LEBONE.—John Roberts, proprietor of the Sol's Arms, Hampstead-road, appeared to answer a summons ssued against him. for refusing to receive five soldiers of th e 3rd Infantry, that were billeted on him by Serjeant Richard Daniel.—Mr. Roberts complained of there being no names given in with the billet. Ile urged that he was responsible for the acts of the inmates of his house, and yet, if one of these men committed any offence, he had no means of ascertaining his name. He thought its very loose say of billeting soldiers, not to afford the publicans anything like a description of the men thus foisted upon them. In this par ticular instance he hod no accommodation for them, and had offered them five shillings, but they demanded ten shil lings. Mr. Lang was of opinion that Mr. Roberts was not justified in offering any fixed sum, as he was bound either to take them in, or provide them with lodging elsewhere. However, he :Agreed with him in considering that, as a re sponsible person, he was entitled to have the names of the parties billeted upon him, and he should, therefore,: dismiss the summons. LAMBETH.—EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF A BANERFFTs, STOCK, AND SlNnel,Alt DISCOVERY OF A PART OF THE STOLEN PROPElLTY.—Yesterday, Mr. James Galway, a cheeatinonger in a large way of business in the Walworth road, and who is said to be a man of considerable property, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of having had in his possession a parcel containing 71 pairof ex pensive gloves, a portion of a bankrupt's stock that had been ' stolen from the shop, No. 17, Regent-street, on the night of the lith of February, 1844. Mr. Games appeared for the prisoner. —Mr. Inspector Haines of the detective force de posed that, on the night above-mentioned, property amount ing to GOO/. was carried away front the shop, No. Regent street. Ile bad been employed, and exerted himself to trace the property, and discover the thieves, but to Thursday last, he could find not the slightest trace of either. On that day, however, Mr. Wright, landlord of the Horse and Groom, High-street, Newington, delivered to him a parcel which he said had been left at his house by the prisoner about eighteen months before, and which contained 71 pairs of the stolen gloves. On the following day, the prisoner called upon him at Scotland-yard, and said, "4 understand you received a parcel of gloves from Mr. Wright last night, if you want me fur them here I am." Witness told him he did not want hint just then, upon which lie replied, " You can have me at any time you want me." Ile then went away, and he did not sec hint again until the evening I before, when he told him to be in attendance at this court. In reply to Mr. Games, the witness said, that iustead of avoiding an investigation of the circumstance, the prisoner seemed to court it. When the prisoner called upon him on Friday morning, he said that nearly two years ago a parcel had been brought to his house, during his absence from home, and left there; the parties who brought it leaving a message that they would see him at Wright'a, the Horse and Groom. On examining the parcel, and finding what it contained, he, on the following day, carried it to Wright's, directing that if the parties who had left it at his house should call, they were to have it. On seeing the parcel, the prisoner declared it did not now contain half the prorty that had been in it when deposited with Mr. Wright.—' Mr. Wright deposed that the prisoner, whom he had known fr tliur or five years, left the parcel at his house, but he said nothing whatever about it, until last week, when he and the prisoner had a quarrel, and the prisoner accused hint with being a receiver of stolen property. Ile, in conse quence, sent for Mr. Inspector Haines on the following day, and delivered up the property to him. He could nut tell the prisoner's motive fur leaving a parcel in his (witness's) house so long. All the time that it was there no person called for it, but the clay upon which lie (witness) delivered it up to Mr. Haines, a man came to his liar and asked for it, but he then told him it was too late, as he had delivered it up to an officer.—Mr. Elliott: Who was the person who had so caged ?—Witness : I don't know who he was, your worship.—Prisoner: Indeed you do as well as I do, and better; for the first time I met him was with you and in your gig —Witness: No such thing ; the first time I saw him was with you.—To Mr. Games: Did not help himself or his friends to any of the glove., nor had lie disposed of any other goods which the parcel ennta:ned. Had never offered valuable property, which, in addition to the gloves, the par eel contented, to Mr. Elgie, a publican in the Kent-road.— Henry Boor, assistant to Mr. Hamber, one of the messengers of the bankruptcy-court, stated that on the 20th of January, 1841, he wes put into pos.,.ion of the stock of a bankrupt named Williams, No. 17, Regentstreet, value 1,300/. Wit ness remained on the premises until the night of the 11th of February, when he went home, and, on returning on the following morning, he discovered that the place had been robbed of about 6001. worth of property. The property produced he believed to be a part of that stolen.—George Hancock deposed to all the property produced being a por tion of the stock of Mr. Williams at the time of his bank ruptcy.—Mr. llamber stated that he was held accountable for the loss, so that, in point of fact, he was U. e prosecutor in the present case. The prisoner told him that, when he had deposited the parcel at Wright's, there was a vast quan tity of property in it ; and that Wright, as he should he able to prove, had offered part of the goods for sale at different places —Mr. Elliott thought that there were two strong points in the case affecting the prisoner, the first was his recent possession of the property after it had been stolen, and his threat against the landlord of having stolen goods in his possession. In his opinion there was a prima fade ease established, and as the caw was one which would require a lengthened investigation, he should remand the accused until that day week.—Mr. Games applied for the prisoner's libe ration on bail, hut Mr. Elliott refused to accept bail. WESTMINSTER.— DARING HIGHWAY ROBIII.ItY.— Tao fellow. of notoriordy had character, who gave their names John Smith and Edward Watson, were charged with the following daring highway robbery. It appeared from the evidence adduced, that lio`vrt Hurd, a pensioner from the British Legion in Spain, at about four on the pre vious afternoon met Watson, of whom he had some previous knowledge, and on his representing that he was very unwell took him into a publie.house, and gave him something to drink, in paying for which he exposed some sovereigns. On leasing the house a few minutes afterwards, he proceeded up Pear-street, Westminster, but had not gone above a dozen yards when the prisoner,: came behind him, and Watson seized him by the throat, and with the assistance of his companion threw him on the ground. Watson pressed his throat with such violence that the hlood Rushed from his mouth and nostrils, whilst the other fellow rifled his pockets of Kt. in gold, some silver, and two watches, with which they immediately made off.—John Thropp, a mason, who was passing at the time, and saw the offence, very quietly followed the prisoners, and saw them jump into a cab, having given directions to be driven over the water, lie ran after the cab until he met with a policeman, when the prisoners were secured, and the watches found under the scat of the cab, but no trace was discovered of the money..—Prisoners were fully committed.

Ac cording to report, for it has not come to our hands, it is a production of the bulk which might be anticipated from the lengthened period of its gestation. It is understood that the ex-minister confesses to having departed from the letter of his instructions, but justifies the act on the plea that it was all for the advantage of his country. Upon the s wise plea Mr. Bulwer might have acceded to the meal mar riages of Spain, or have compounded for Spanish debt, against the tensor of his instructions. This specimen of Mexican diplomacy will, we believe, be made public in some of the papers to-morrow ; from its great length it would pm ',ably be inadmissible in this paper, in extenso, under any circumstance s. We may feel called upon, when it is pub lished, to offer some observations upon it. In the mean t' me, this exposition can o , ly be the beginning of the end. The bondholders require, as fairly entitled, further expla nations from the Spanish American Committee about their share in the conversion transaction, and why, before embark ing in it, they did not demand, in the usual course, the exhi bition of Senor Murphy's powers and instructions. The house of agency, and parties connected with them, have a long detail of accounts and explanations alb to produce. It may, therefore, he some time yet before the bondholders and the public arc admitted to a full initiation into the mys teries of Spanish-American loan tranasetions. RAILWAY MIFFS. The share and scrip market was not quite so brisk yesterday as for some days past. A fair business, hum ever, was transacted. Goole and Doncaster improved I ; Amber gate I ; North British about 1!. higher. Though the business of the day at Liverpool was not large, prices in most instances were higher. London Noah Western and Midland Stock were firm; Manchester and Leeds a shade better; Birmingham ae.d Oxford rather sellers at the close; North Staffordshire a little firmer than on Monday ; Ambergates fluctuated between I pram. and par. The Manchester market was rather animated. A good business was transacted ; prices again advanced slightly with buyers to the close. The market at Birmingham was somewhat brisker. The chief feature to notice was the rise in the value of Birming ham, Wolverhampton. and Dudley scrip to 3; p. There were sales in the Birmingham and Oxford Junction at 3; p. and in the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal at I p. At Leeds the activity in the market which was observable on Monday was fully sustained yesterday, and in several Haus of railway there was a considerable advance.

W. haelsrnie, Esq., took the chair. The principal contents of the re port were, first, that the Spanish directors had named that 27,000 sham should be forthwith taken up and paid upon at par, who had thus met the tenss of the contention; secondly, that Use Sinnich Government had authorimal the directors to carry out the work of the line by sections; thirdly, that the directors were satisfied that they could at once undertake that metion of the line (about 27 miles', connecting Valencia with sun Felipe, with a confidence that the profits in thin section would shortly enable the company to divide a considerable dividend; fourthly, that the 'undo ill hand would amply meet all engagements for the intended sections tor the next twelve months. The chairman pointed out the advantages likely to accrue from the prosamsed railway, which would not odds be the main trunk for the traffic nom the Mediterranean coast to Madrid and the in terior, but the best means of communication between France and Spain. lle concluded by reading two re.olutiorot ; the first was that the yeport be adopted ; and the second, that, un the payment of the deposit on the 27,01 M shares taken up in Spain, the directors be em powered to carry out those sections of the line most likely to promote the interest of the company. A shareholder asked how won the de posit on these 27,0 tin shares would be paid. The chairman replied ut about one month's time; and that the 27 miles of railway might be finished in twelve months after getting possession of the land. The mtual expenses op to the present time, he mid, might be estimated lit is. per share. Dr. Dowrlng asked Use Milne, of the parties in whom names the caution money :111,0007.) seas in vested! The chairman said in that of himself, that of the concession aire, and that of the Spanish ambassador. Some discussion of a noisy description ensued after the report was adopted, as to the passing of the second resolution, a large portion of the shareholders expresk• g desire to wind up the affairs of the company, and get heck wheel re mained. Dr. Powring spoke tidily of the project from the bad condi tion of the Spanish r ads, but thought mine arrangement might be made for ;allowing the dissentient shareholders to retire from the com pany. Mr. Bigg, Mr. Hiehanbon, and others, thmagbt it unadvisable zo proceed is the present unsettled state of Spain. Mr. klastermatt, jun., spoke in favour of continuing the company. The solicitor inti mated that by dissolsing the company they would jeopardise the 30,tgio/. given as security. A shareholder thought that w.so better thin pro.-ceding, fur it would allow a proliAle return of I/. Is, per share, whilst Dow the shares were selling at 17s. The chairman said that they were making arrangements for inverting the caution money into Spanish Meek. lie, however, wished to take the sense of the meeting 2.4 to poceeding, for it ~.121 a very numerous one, and was about to smut the second rev elution, when Mr. Richardson moved for a dissolution of the company, which n•solution was afterwards withdrawn for an amendment of lir. Bowring, which was to the effect of a ;looming the meeting, was to give the directors an opportunity to ascertain by what legal means the dissentient shareholders might withdraw from the company. This amendment was corned by a very large majority. The second resolution was consequently negatived. A vote of thanks was then unanimously passed to the chairman and directors, when this meeting was adjourned.
