Tilt leu:•LieliLli Music IN " MiTILDA Oe 1-it•N csAts." -V, conics. we like the muff& of Mr. Wallase's new opera a goes: deal better, separated trim the piece, than con joined s.:. it. In hearing tome of his air , , duets, and trios, in a private tome, quietly sung to the pianoforte, there is a plea sure derti.el from pretty melodies and ingenious accompani ments, with -at Pre inniction of a nonsensical libretto, and the Lessen rim of the Drury.lane orchestra. Addison says in the bee. • - for, that " the pnetastere and fiddlers of the town had lai t it down as an established rule, that nothing is capable o' Ling well *et to music, that is not nonsense ;" and their sucere.ors, in our own day, seem to he duly impressed with tht teeth of the maxim ; and yet we cannot - help think ing that Mr. Wallace and his tuneful brethren might per haps fie t tier account in trying the experiment of set ting somaC.ing to music that is not nonsense. Their music, pea, lily, would not be the worse for it ; and, at all enters, it e aid be something of a novelty. The pieces in '• Matilda uf Hungary," which have been pabliseed, are, of course, the.: which ere most suitable for chamber perform ance; aid as were! of them, sung aed aessnipanied in this way, W. c‘ Ntedingly elegant and 116 --mg. The airs and ballads, in articular, have no castle ye latiou to the subject of the vie-, and might hove been slesk into any other just as well. eelr words are in the wyle of Pope's " Song by a Person of Quality." only not quite so smooth ; Mr. Ni allace seems :re used them, as he might have done the syl lables d fo, to give the anger something to articu late; as .; their meaning is a matter of unconcern both to singer aie' hes.rer. But a musician of genius can find both melody end expreseion, without the aid cat words, and this Mr. Wel , s has succeeded in doing. Oat of the meet pleas ing of It songs is the little ballad. ' A lowly youth, a mountan. , which has the graceful rhythm and move ment of e 'irolese melody. " Adieu, felt land," an air for s teem a.see, though very simple acd far front m sr, is +smooth . Rowing, while it is rescued from insipidity by an unexpected interval in the vocal part, and a very rich and lursnonioee accompaniment. " Clone is that slimness," is inttehee also far a tenor VCi.X. and of a s 11ar charm ter. Tht air, "They who would 'filthy harpy." belonging to the peiLeipel female part, is very beaullfnl. The melody is broad Bed open; end the alternation between the pinups] key, A Vet maser, and the key of C minor. has a charming effect. f.tl these airs are moderate in compass, lio well for the voice, end are easily sung. Several of the concerted pieces, t are well adapted for chamber singing. This is espeeial'; the ease with the trio for male voices, " To see my Kir; ," in which the rich harmony of the vocal parts is embelli lad by a very brilliant accompaniment. The duet for soprano and tenor. " This deep Affront," is also exceed ins'y eV :live when sung by • lady whose voice can reach to li, as lilt is not the case with many unproessional singers. ' The pi, ease, however, produced by these pieces, is entirely that is derived from musical sounds. They have melody. harmony, and the vague expression which belongs to ins'e..nental music. But they do not produce the greatest effect of soul music, that of heightening the three and ex pression of passionate poetry. They do not make us feel that " sound is the echo to the sense," • imply because there is sense to which the sound can be the echo.

DAVID'S " CHRISTOPHER COLVIIBI.I3.”—The second performance of this piece, which was to have taken place on Friday lase iu the theatre of the Opera Coiniqne, was prevented by M. Vatel, the manager of the Italian Opera, who, at the eleventh hour, prohibited M. Tilmaut, the conductor of the orchestra. and the other performers belonging to his theatre, from soaking in the performance. A crowded audience bad assembled, and they were not only disappointed, but indig nant at tht conduct of M. Vatel, who, if he thought proper to prevent the appearance of his performers on an occasion which he t long been announced, ought not to have reserved his opposi•ion to the very Last moment.

FURZE.—PARINMISRLP llterPres.—Mr. Roupell moved, on behalf of the plaintiff in this clue, for a receiver and manager to conduct the affairs of a brewery, called the King's Arms Brewery, situate iu Old Castle street, Whiteehapel, which has for some years been carried on by the plaintiff, Arthur Manners, and tho defendant, John Furze, in partnership together; and for an injunction to restrain Furze from interfering with the partnership assets, and from inducing customers of the King's Arms Brewery to resort to a brewery called the St. George's Brewery, lately estanlished by the defendant's son, John Nokes Futz:., in Old Church.street, Whitechapel, under the firm of John Furze and Co., but which it seas alleged by the plaintiff wan , in reality, the concern of the defendant, John Fume. The cue for the plaintiff was not concluded. Misr, the Vice•Chsneellor of England. TTACKE T. AO TO THIS REMOVAL or °Tarim% —An injunction was granted in this case on the 9th of October last, to restrain tLe defendant, Thomas Dash, and others, from dredging, fishing for, and removing the oysters belonging to the plaintiff, in a fishery near Fah mouth, of which the plaintiff was the tenant, under a lease front Sir Richard Vyvyan, and also to restrain the defendant from removing from his own oyster grounds a quantity of oysters amounting to 75 bushels, which he admitted, by his answer, to have taken from the plaintiff's oyster grounds, and deposited in his own.—When the injunction was granted, the court directed that an action at law should be brought to try the plaintiff's right.--Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Pigott now moved to dissolve so much of the injunction as restrained the defendant from removing the 75 bushels of oysters from his own beds, upon payment into court of the suns of 18/. 155., the esti mated value of the oysters. and it was contended that, as the time allowed by law for selling oysters would shortly expire, the valor of the oysters would be entirely lost to all parties before the action could be tried, and, under the existing in junction, the defendant could not even remove his own oysters without committing a breach of the injunction, in consequence of the seventy-five bushels being intermixed. Mr. Stuart appeared to oppose the application, unless the defendant would pay the costs of the present motion. The Vice-Chancellor said the defendant appeared to think that this portion of the injunction ought to be dissolved, in consequence of his having mixed up the oysters taken from the plaintiff 's beds with his own; but he did not think this could be considered any reason, as the defendant, by such conduct, had rendered it the more difficult to comply with the injunction, supposing it should be made perpetual. He did not tee there was any evidence to prove that 18/. 15s. was equal to the value of the oysters; but if the defendant was desirous of having his application ;minted, it most be upon the terms of paying the costs.—The order was then made, the defendant consenting to pay the costs of the motion. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Belore Mr. Oamaiedotter RAILWAY SPICCLATION.—The bankrupt, Jangmichael, whose case has already been reported, has been largely en gaged in railway transaction', applied to pass his last examin ation, which, after some discussion, he was declared to have Pfd . Before Mr. Commissioner Ifolroyd. A Socterron.—The insolvent, Francis Harrison, wu • solicitor, and had filed a petition in this court. Mr. Bu ckman, upon his behalf, applied to the court to dismiss the gistition, as the insolvent was entering into an arrangement, by which he would pay his creditors a sum amounting to about 1,5001., being 20s. in the pound, by two instalments, allowing one year to intervene between each payment. His Honour said that ho must obtain the consent of all the credi tors before be could dismiss the petition. Stmatessior Conin.—BeforeComedoners Fandangos, llolroyd, , he thought be could identify Wilcock/ and M'Bride as two of them. They c .:me to him as he lay in bed, with the sword, and demandet money ;on which he took his keys and opened a drawer whet: ho had some money, and gave them a bag wh;cll contained sixteen or eighteen sovereigns. They counted the motley . . and as they were doing so, he had the opportunity of looking at them, and he now thought that Wilcock, and M'Bride were two of them. The third ::tan had a pistol, but him the prosecutor could not recognise. The men thy n all left the premises. The housekeeper was endeavourinj to get out of the win dow, when one *fa° thieves, who ate. td outside, struck her with a stick. It was discovered afterwar.ts that the front door of the Louse had been broken open by gr,ote instrument like a chisel, and that a few things of small TAIL' had been carried off, some plated candlesticks among the reat. The sword used by the robbers, which was the Noperty of the prosecutor, was also taken away. Further evidosee was ad duced, showing that the prisoners Wilcocks ann . M'Bride had been at a public-house in Paul-street, LiverpoCli at • short time berm-, and also very soon after, the rot: berg. They were everherri to use expres.ions, from which it inti;ht be inferred &at they had taken part in tke outrage. The prt inner Sephton, who had once bi en in the prosecutor's service, made a confess4n whet he was in gaol on this charge, and he then accused the other three prisoners, but exculpated two other persons, named Godfrey, and Hunter, who had been taken into custody for the ofteuos. Verdict—Wilcorks and M'Bride, Guilty; Hartshorn, Yet Guilty.—The prisoner Hartshorn was then put on his trial upon an indictment charging him with highway robbery at Aintree, on which occasion he had stolen a sovereign and seine articles of wear ing apparel from Mary Willacy. The other three mess also were included in this indictment, but his lordship dirested that Hartshorn should be tried alone. The prisoner was convicted. Sentence: As to M'Bride and Wilcocks, death to be recorded ; so to Sephton and Hartshorn, tramp station for 15 years. Menet( 25. _ A ScaNx IN COURT.—In an early part of the morning the equanimity of the court was suddenly disturbrd by a loud noise at the upper end of the building. The learned judge, waxing exceedingly wrath, ordered the officers to bring the rioter b:fore him. Between two constsloles a little being, dressed in rags, and with an unshorn beard, stepped pously into the box, and bowed to his lordship. The Jud ge:" Now, sir, what is it you say ?" Throwing himself into a theatrical attitude, the urchin replied with tragic emphasis, " I say, ray lord, that the proceedings of this court are truly hypociitical " Judge : " Then I tell you what, I commit you for one month." " I thank you, my lord." He wss then removed amidst the laughter of the court. Anson.—Jonn Ingham Bond was indicted on a charge of having set fire to the premises of Messrs. Owen and Eyton, hat manufacturers, Manchester. on the night of the 6th February, and stealing therefrom 10 dozen hats, of the value of 201. On the morning of the oth the premises were disco vered to be on fire, and on entering the house no less than four fires were discovered in different rooms. The loss of the bats was also quickly discovered. The prisoner was ap prehended upon strang suspicion : he had been met about four miles en the road to Ashton that morning, carrying a large bundle of hats, which, it was afterwards found, he pawned at Stockport. The pawn ticket was found concealed in the lining of his hat. The case was gone into at consi derable length, and at the time our report left the jury had not decided on their verdict. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.-CARNARVON, MARCH V. Br fon Mr. Juseoe Coltman. . . The commission was opened on Saturday, and the trials commenced this day. MANSLAYGHTKIL—EdWO/T1 Williams pleaded guilty to the charge of manslaughter of David Jones, at Llandiln, on the 26th of December tst—By the evidence it appeared that death had resulted from injuries received by the de ceased in a fight with the prisoner. The latter had, in some drgree, been forced into the quarrel by blows and taunts on the part of the deceased. Ihe prisoner, however, in his turn, had picked up something from the ground, and thrown it at the deceased, and also kicked hies when cm the ground. The prisoner had ex pressed his regret at what he had done, and had assisted in carrying the deceased, David Jones, home, where he lin gered for some days, and then expired. He had received several wounds on his head the principal one was on the left side, when the skull had been fractured ; an abeam had formed in the brain, which, with the inflammation caused by the pressure of the fractured bone, had resulted in death. Deceased died on the 14th of January last. His death had no doubt been hastened by the want of prompt medical treatment, as no surgeon had been called in from Saturday to the Thursday following. Witnesses for the defence were I called, who gave the prisoner an excellent character, and the jure retained a verdict of Acquittal. l s ittsox BREALING.—R. Leans pleaded guilty to escaping from the county gaol at Carnarvon, on Sept. 16th, 1843, he then being under sentence of transportation.—Sentence, one year's imprisonment. —The prisoner effected his escape in a mine daring meaner, having passed over a wall of great height, surrounded by a very formidable demons de frise, in crowing which be was severely cut. Ho is a most note rims character, and has, at various times, escaped from five different gaols. He is now undergoing imprisonment for two year', with two sentences of transportation —one for ten years and the other for seven—hanging over him.—This owe cl wed ths criminal business. SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—CARMARTHEN, Miaow 23. Before Mr. Jurnor Wightmax. In coneequesee of the pressure of civil business at Cardi gan, the commission at Carmarthen was opened on Monday evening, instead of on Saturday. On Tuesday his lordship proceeded with business. There are only five prisoners for trial, a perjury wee, and six nisi prius cases. T. C. W7rdseft, 23, and John Ifikey, 18 (privates of the 87th Regt.), were indicted for breaking into the shop of W. Webb, of Newcastle Roslyn, and stealing 19 watches, 4 watch-cases, a quantity of watch movements, Ac. The pro secutor was a watchmaker at Newcastle, having a shop at a considerable distance from his dwelling-house. On the night of Saturday, the 6th of this month, he securely fastened his window-shutters, and locked up the shop. On the following morning he was informed that his shop had been broken open, and, on visiting it, he found that the shutters had been partially remised, and the glans of the window broken, so as to admit of the introduction of a man's band. The above pro. party was missing. From the blood on the window, shutters, dtc., it was concluded that the thief, whoever he was, had cut his hand. On inquiry it turned out that the prisoners were absent from barracks on the night in ques tion ; that between three and four o'clock in the morning they had applied for lodgings st a house in the town. There was blood then observed on Kilsey's hand. About eight o'clock that morning, prisoners were seen sitting on a stile, near which some of the property was subseq uently found, stained with blood. On the apprehension o the prisoners none of the property was found in their possession, but there was a wound es Kilsey's wrist, which, he stated, before the committing magistrates, had been caused by his pipe, he having fallen in a scuffle at a public-house on the preceding night. The surgeon, however, expressed a positive opinion that a pipe would not cause such a wound, but it must have been caused by some sharp flat substance. Wit ness' also swore that the prisoner bad no pipe that night, and that he did not fall in the scuffle. Another cir cumstance relied on by the prosecution was this: on the morning of the robbery, a walking stick was picked up near the prosecutor's shop, which was positively identi fied by several witnesses as the stick which Whitsett car ried, and which was seen with him at the public-house on the previous night, a few hours before the robbery. There were other circumstances tending to strengthen the can for the prosecution. For the defence, a soldier, named Edward Divine, was called, who swore that the witness" for the pro secution were mistaken in saying that the prisoner had the stick produced, as it was his (witness') stick, and being in toxicated, he had dropped it near prosecutor's shop. Mr. Justice Wightmen summed up the evidence with great care. The jury retired, and after two hours absence returned into court, saying that they could not agree. There were nine for convicting, and three for acquitting. They were subsequently locked up the whole night, and the ver dict was not delivered when our report left. SURREY SESSIONS, Maacn 25. Before J. w. Pnredeld, Eaq., and a Beach of Magistrates. Wil/inin Tischer, en innkeeper of Walton-on-Thames, who was found guilty on Monday of stealing some fowls and a bushel of peas, the property of the Earl of Elleasere, was again indicted for receiving 14 fowls, the of John Johnson, of Walton-on-Thames, well pknowin groperty than to be stolen. Mr. Looks conducted the don, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. prosecution that on the night of the 3rd of February last an outhouse on the prosecutor's premises was broken open, and the 14 fowls stolen therefrom. On the following day I the rimier was seen in Guildford, with the fowls in his r , dead. In answer to the constable who detected i7i, e4s h i r said that he purchased the fowls of a man on the rood, but that he could net find him.—llollington, inspector of the Guildford police, said, that while the prisoner was in his I custody on a previous charge, he heard him tell a man to go to his Lowe at Walton, and tell his wife to put the fowls out of the way.—Hido, another constable, said he went to the prisoner's brother's house, on the :4th of February, and there found a beast containing 14 fowls, which were iden tified by the prosecutor as his property.—Mr. Charnock, is his ad rea to the jury, commented in severe terms on the evidence of Rollington, the " eaves-dropping constable ;" he called on the jury to be cautious how they re ceived the sole unsupported evidence of such a man. —Several witnesses having been called to the prisoner's character, the Chairman summed up: He really considered there was too much liberty taken by some of the learned moose in that wort. So much stress should not be laid upon the evidence of the Tame, who, he believed in the present case, had given their evidence in a fair and straightforward manner. They had heard the whole of the evidence, and it would be for them to say whether the prisoner was guilty or not. —The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict of Guifty.—The Chairman sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment for the former conviction, at the expiration of which a further term of six months' imprison ment, for having possession of the fowls belonging to Mr. Johnson. s dGO burn. tic RI WILLIAM MARTIX.—ORDER FOR COMMITMENT.— This bankrupt was a grocer in Skinner-street, Somers-town., The above court assembled for the purpose of deciding as to whether the present case was one in which an order for committal ought to be granted, upon the ground of the bankrupt's having given a most unsatisfactory account (as considered by Mr. Commissioner Goulburn a few days since) as to the alleged loss of 1501. in gold, which the bankrupt stated he received from a Mr. Hibbertson for the sale of certain stock, &c., and which he stated he wrapped up in a handkerchief, ca d placed in his outide coat pocket. He pro ceeded from Shoreditch to Edmonton ina third class c in the railway train, having taken a few glasses if=l; and water, and when within a few yards of his own resi dence, discovered (as alleged) the loss of his money ; but from first to lad, he never gave any notice to the police of such a loss. The money was paid to him in gold at a public-house, and several persons were present. He could not my at what place the alleged less took place, but he was in liquor.—The bank rupt having been subjected to a very searching examination by Mr. Duncan, in respect to the above facts, the learned commissioners were unanimously of opinion that the bank rupt's answers were wholly unsatisfactory, and issued their warrant fir his commitment to Newgate.—Committed accordingly. Defers Mr. Cboums7.ls■2(7. A Deirrtsr.—ThisbZarupt,Nevilleiianiell, a surgeon dentist in Charlotte-street, 1. itsroy-equare, came up upon his own petition for his certificate, but it appearing that he bad no less than 66 creditors, and there being no Resets, his Honour considered it high time that a stop should be put to such a state of things, and suspended the certificate for two years, without protection.—There was no opposition.

Carnes Comm.—Beton the Lord and Baron. pi,;sic.,..— Be l jamin Laws, a boy aged 10 years, pleaded Guilty to a charge of having stolen a half-crown and 81d. Subsequently the plea was withdrawn, the primmer pleaded " not guilty," and the jUTY Waa charged to inquire into the truth of the indictment. The Chief Baron than addressed the jury, and said that without blaming the eoestable who had arrested, or the magistrate who had committed the prisoner for trial, he did not think that the interests of society required that the prisoner ahould be tried. The child at the bar had parents well able to take ears of him, to whom the task of reclaiming him might be entrusted. Farther, it appeared from the depositions that the boy had not been the Instrument of any an ease. Under such circumstances, be had thought it h is gi i r hen the boy pleaded guilty, to cause the plea of withdrawn : on these ground', also, he should from galling any witnesses in support of the charge ; it would therefore he their duty to acquit the prisoner.— The prisoner was then acquitted and delivered to his parent.

About four o'clock in the afternoon, finding they did not make their appearance, the prirecutor became un easy, and, on making an examination, soon discovered his loss. Some time after, while Mr. Baynham was walking down George-street, Westminster, be came in contact with both the prisoners, who immediat dy decamped, but George Reeves, alias Smith, after a smart chase, was eventually taken in Abingdon-street, while his brother escaped for a short time ; he, however, was taken at his father-in-law's house in Worcestershire, and brought to London. It was proved that Philip Reeves called with a &male at a jeweller's in Wolverhampton, and bought several articles, tendering I the 50!. note produced, which was identified as the one paid ' out of the London and Westminster Bank to the prosecutor, and again arrived in due course of business to their house in London. The 101. notes bad also come in in the regular way, bat the police had been übahle tr trace in what way, and by whom they were first circulated. —The prisoners de nied the robbery and the changing of the note, and al w pleined of being confined separately.—Ald. Johnson corn_ emitted them for trial, and they were then removed. WORSIIIP•STREET. A respectabL-looking couple, web about 30, were charged with creating a disturbance, and Ca. - ming a mob to assemble in the public street. Con stable 37 G said he was on duty in the City road, about six o'clock last evening, when he observed the defendants surrounded by about 200 persons, men, women, and children, The male defendant held in his arms an infant In long clothes, the possession of which, however, was being reso lutely xlisputed by the female, who he learned was his " better half," and who it appeared had been chasing him for some time through the various streets in the neighbour hood for that purpose.—The nee-liand, on being :eked what he had to my to the charge, replied, that a short time since he had a disagreement with his wife, and proposed to her a separation, he undertaking the charge of the children (four in number), which was agreed upon; and haring been promised a situation in London, he came up to town, bringing with him the three elder children. Ile , how ever, returned to Norwich, and haring got possession of ' the infant, got into the railway train, and again proceeded to London ; but on his arrival at the London terminus, to his amazement he was suddenly accosted by his wife, who, he learned, had come up by the came train in an other carriage; and this was the origin of the complaint made by the constable. The magistrate desired that the child should be at once given to the mother. The father re luctantly complied, and said he certainly would not consent to give up the cch -r children, unless compelled to do so by law. Mr. Arnold replied that he had no power to compel him to do so. Ile bad, however, behaved extremely ill, and all he could in the matter *as to bind over both husband and wife to keep the peace towards each other. The parties were then accordingly bound iu the sum of 20!. each for that purpose. MARYLEBONE.—Fast DAT AT PRIMRO9I4-11 H. L.— Three youth., named Gulliver, Sheehan, and chainnan, were charged as follow.: On the previous day there was a crowd of from 300 to 400 persons assembled ourrimrese-hill. A body of the S division, who had been ordered by the super intendent to repair there with the view of putting an end to any riot or disturbance which might take place, no sooner made their appearance than they were attacked in every direction with large sticks and stones. Some of the con stables were injured in consequence thereof, and the prisoners, who were clearly proved to have taken an active pert in the affair, were secured and conveyed to the etation-house. Gulliver was fined 20r., and the other two (mere boys) us. each. They were then locked up. WESTMINSTER.—ATTENI In ED Br no LARY.—George Brown and Henry Green were charged with attempting to break into the premises of Mr. Stemmett, Broadway, West minster. At a little after eleven on the previous night, pro secutor, who slept in the back parlour, had retired to rent, when he heard a strange noise at the street door, and el proceeding quietly into the passage, found that two persons were endeavouring to pick the lock. In the course of the neat hour and a-half they made several Giber attempts, as intervals, to effect an entrance in front; but finding sa these attempts ineffectual, they proceeded to the NM of the premises. Prosecutor having heard • nit: as of persons climbing over the roofs of soma outhouses, called the police, when Pruner, a ace stable on the beat, pursued the prisoner Brown from roof to roof, and subsequently captured hint in the street. It was proved that Green had been seen in company with Brown and two others shortly before the attempts were made, but there was nothing to show that he was one of the two persons who had attempted to pick the look of the street door, or had ever been in the rear of the premises. —The prisoners both denied the offence.—Brown was committed for two months to hard labour, but, as the magistrate did not consider the case strong enough against Green, he wee discharged. GREENWICH.—Pater DAY Dolgoe.—Edward Coat and Henry Cook, of No. 31, Piccadilly, Esqn., officers In the Seats Fusileer Guards, were charged with assaulting Jame White, of the railway police.---Beaumont 'fathoms, Rag., of Hertford-street, May-fair, an officer of the Glens- Tier Guards, was charged with assaulting Mr. William' Casey, railway inspector, and the Hon. Spencer Lylllelon, of 17, St. James'ieplace, St. James's, also with assaulting In-, specter Casey, of the Greenwich branch, while in the wed tton of his duty.—Police constable White deposed that let was on duty atthe Greenwich Terminus on Wednesday even ing, at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock; he was standing at the second-class turnstile; saw the two first-named prisoner., with three other persons, go up to the Bret-clan turnstile, Same of whom passed through, but one of them, Henry Cook, jumped over the turnstile, and on being called upon MO return, deliver up his ticket, and pass through u others did, he refused to comply. Witness followed prisoner, and urged to return, and pus through in a proper manner. er said he had • ticket, but did not .hew it. Witness received much abuse, was hustled, and Edward Cook struck bin violently in the face several times, which caused much pigs forseveral hours after. He took him into custody with Moth difficulty, the other prisoners trying to rescue hint by peeping his arms argues the neck of witness, and holding Wm down. There was a vast number of passengers waiting Ise r by the trains, two of which went off without filling, *wing to the great confusion that castled ; witness and the ether officers being prevented from doing their duty.—Mr. W. J. Jenkins, cash clerk, deposed that Henry Cook had • Voket, and immediately afterwards jumped over the tars Mae. Witness immediately followed, and saw Edward Omsk Safe White round the throat, with his head under his amt, end repeatedly strike him violently with his fist. Witness .deavoured to loosen his grasp, but was immediately low sesseiled by five of the party ; a desperate struggle ensued. het in the end the prisoners were secured, and with dill 4 culty removed to the police-station. It was • treat imps& meet to business.--Sergeant Bott, 21 R., Slid he was. duty at the first-class station ; saw four or five gentlemen peas through. Mr. 11. Cook jumped over the stile White followed, and insisted on his returning and passing the turn stile in the proper way, and show his ticket; saw Edward Cook strike several time* called him a villain, and gave him several blows.—Police-censtable Russell, and James Sedgley, proved the conduct of both prisoners towards Wlnte.—The defendants called the Hon. Mr. Lyttleton (who also stood charged iu the same transaction) as a witness, and he stated that himself and friends had been dining in Greenwich and had return tickets; they went to the drat class station ; he heeded the party, presented his ticket, and went in. A dispute arose between the Cooks and the check taker. Saw Henry Cook collared by White, the constable. A scuffle ensued. Could not speak to blows. There seemed general and indiscriminate confusion.—Edward Cook said ha bad no evidence to offer in - - a had no evidence to offer in defence.—.Serjeant Dolt said that nothing but necessary force was used in securing the prisoners. No violence was used. He urged Henry Cook three or four times to submit and return.—Mr. Traill said the original offence appeared to have been committed by H. Cook. The conduct of both the Cooks appearing inex cusable he should fine each in the full penalty of 5C for the assaults. If the advice of the police serjeant had been fol inered all would have been well—BeawnontHotAam,Esq.nod Mo Hon. Spencer Lyakton were next charged with assaalting hirmetor Canby. Mr. Casey deposed that he was called be ritt k quelling the riotous conduct of the prisoners, and patting them out. In doing so, be was struck. Mr. Lys. Oaten said he would serve him out ; called him a d—d scoundrel, villain , rascally vagabond, ; and, on the way to the statics tried to tread on hie heels and trip hint be hind. Mr. Methane was very violent, and kicked him.— Mr. Bawler Miller, superintending cashier, confirmed the prisoners' violent language and conduct, and said that Hotkam attempted to kick him, for rating White in the discharge of his duty, and an. tually struck him a violent blow en his thigh with his foot Did not see Casey kicked. Had no doubt the kick was maliciously intended.—The Hon. Mr. Lyttleton said Mr. Cosy behaved ill. Denied treading on Mr. Casey's kik Would have attacked a more vulnerable part; m all probability the head.—Mr. Hotham said he was knocked into Ow gutter, and his arm injured.—Mr. Casey said he was not sober, and, when pushed out, he fell off the pavement. It took three porton' to eject him.—Mr. Train said there was nothing against Mr. Lyttleton. He should dismiss the charge as against him, but should fine Mr. Hotluun 408.—The fine being paid, the prisoners bowed and retired. MONEY MARKET. THVIIRDAT Bviwnre. The transactions in the funds were few and unim portant to-day, and the house, indeed, was but thinly at tended by dealers and brokers. Consols ware alternately buyers and sellers at 891, leaving off at 895 for money, and 891 toy for account. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were done at 891 ex-dividend for the spring. The Bank broker took 10,6001. Consols, sold for the savings banks, to ac count for the Commissioners for the National Debt. Exche quer Bills were par to 3e. premium. Consols Scrip 1 dis count to par. Dutch stocks come better from Amsterdam, and some bargains took plaee here at higher rates. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents are now called 580 to 91, the Foam, 931 to 3. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents, 95 to 6. Spanish Fives, 220 to 31, the Threes, 341 to 1. Portuguese, 33 to 6. Mexican, 211 to 2. Peruvian, 39 to 40. The rates of exchange brought by the Montezuma packet ship from the United States ere as favourable as before; at New Orleans more so. From New York the quotations are 105, or a fraction below ; from New Orleans, 103 to 1. These low rates will, of course, lead to further shipments of gal coin from hence, and it is already calculated that about half a million will be carried out by the two next steamers. The CoNstitutionnel has extracted from the Cozens of Commerce, published in St. Petersburg, an exposition of the actual state and relations of the note circulation, and the specie reserves of the Board of Credit, created in the department, and under the direction, of the Minister of Finance, for the special superintendence and control of the credit money system of Russia , reformed and establiehed by the Imperial Ulm, of June 13 (June 1, 0.5.), 1843, under certain regulations. The bans of this new syltam it may I be useful to explain, were, fret, tti, oo nvon f on o f d m Wen I circulating paper salsa " tables usigustisa," the e ----- chsnrreahle relation of which with metallic money stood fixed by law at e per rubles for I eilver ruble, into a new raper value, at that rate of exchange, pa S denominated "bills of credit," payable to bearer on demand, in hard money, for the egnivalent um expressed on their face; eeconaly, _ the creation and maintenance e all times of a reserve fund in ape. to, e q ual ' to onus sixth of the amount, at least , of the bills of ce,..da m s ' circulation. Subsidiarily, and in order to effect a comp: etc unity of the representative sips of value, the notes issued by the deposit-office, against rain and bullion lodged there, and known as " deposit•notes," together with other kinds of note paper, which the loan banks and the Foundling Hospital I cash-office were empowered to issue to a limited amount, were also orlered to be withdrawn, and replaced by the new bills of credit. For these bills of credit so issued, and the deposit -notes which might remain outstanding, repre senting nacta'lic values lodged in doped., a reserve fund of specie to the whole amount is to be kept up. Thus the state, by this remarkable m metary change, became the sole scarce of issue for paper currency, now converted, or to be converted, into one uniform type, and circulating on equal conditions of value with the metallic moneys into which it is convertible on demand. The go vernment has wisely got rid of the embarrassing if not dis creditable anomaly of the concurrent circulation of two signs of value, each bearing the impress or endorsement of the state, but of such inequality of relationship that the silver ruble commended is exchange no less than three-and-a-half times its amount in paper. When the ante undertakes the entire rtsponlibility of the circulation, both paper and me tallic, it comes under the imperative obligation of sustaining its credit signs to the full par value of its metallic currency of a peke standard. It is no less a state degradation to issue its own paper, and trade on its own credit, at a dis count, thew to debase its own coinage. It is proper to add, that the hank assignation money of Bemis was originally issued at on enormous rate of depreciation in former epochs, when state credit, from financial embarrassments and foreign warfare, with he disaster., wen by no means In repute, and the people not et all accustomed to recognise value in paper promises to pay. By the fourth article of the Ukase of 1813 referred to, the payment of the credit bills of the state under the new system is guaranteed " by the totality of the domain of the state, and fur their immediate exchange at any and in all time into metallic money." But our currency philosophers will perhaps be surprised to learn, and prompt with pre dictions of financial derangement consequent, that, 30 rubles having been the lowest denomination of notes under the old paper money system, the Russian govern ment have had the hardihood to decree, in addition. that (art. 6) "to facilitate social transactions state credit notes shall issue for 25, 10, 5, 3, and 1 ruble each." Now one ruble represents is sterling value three shillings and (too pence only. What will the Economical Club say to this monstrous inroad of paper upon the rights of gold, and even of silver? The paper ruble circulates, notwithstanding, on equal and friendly terms with its Argentine namesake, and in the face, too, of the other economical heresy of Russia that a reserve metallic fund of clue-xi:di only of the note circulation shall suffice for covering all demands and lia bilities for converting one into the other—paper into gold and silver—instead of the financial nostrum exhibited, if not compounded, by Peel, and on which parliament in the simplicity of innocence or ignorance tau legislated, that not less than a fund of metallic reserve equal to one-third at least of a paper circula tion whose lowest limit is a five pound note can be tolerated, or would be consistent with safety. We observe, with satis faction that M. Horace Say, a name of uo small repute, in a recent article en the project of law fur authorising the Bank of France to issue notes below 500 francs, declares against this positive, strait-laced, necessary-to-salvation doctrine, of the cabalistic one-third metallic. After remarking that the Bank of France is happily not restricted by any arbitrary seeetanent on that bead, he proceeds: Nous dieons veil vast minas gue is libe,'tllei sett laiso , e, ear rest 14 tote disposi tion gu'il serail guelguefois impossible de respecter, si morns starriter subatement les eseomptes et de causer ainsi les plus Brands entba 'Tat au commerce.

It is a strange feature of our currency policy, that Peel should be forging fetters for credit exactly at the same time that he was unshackling in stil, try, and laying the groundwork for multiplying inde finitely all those relations and exchanges for which a larger development of credit should be the necessary and inevitable accompaniment. The l'oel trade and currency policy may be likened to that of releasing a man from the stocks where his legs were fast, and, after tightly handcuffing him, turning him adrift as a free man with the world before him to foot it where he might list. Confused and contradictory as evidently is 'Ohs translation of the Corastitutionnel, or the editorial inferences, from the article of the Gazette of Commerce of St. Petersburg referred to, it may be incidentally gathered from the results that the financial operation with the Bank of France was, as suspected, not on state account; but a speculation of the Emperor in his individual capacity, although no sovereign is more entitled to say with Louis XIV., !','toe, rest mot. ' For the metallic reserves in the possession of the Board of Credit do not exceed at 106,667,000 rubles the proportion of one "nth of the credit notes issued, and the amount of the metallic deposits represented in full by credit notes also, but held in integrity to answer all demands. The Emperor, indeed, may be a depositor of bullion or specie himself, and therefore entitled to draw out, bat as the sum total of such deposits falls short of 681 millions of rubles that is not likely to be the ease. The abstraction of or the drawing upon 50 millions of rubles at once would therefore be out of the ques tion. TheConstitutionnel, through an evident misintelligence, swells the paper circulation of Russia into an amount of 454,240,000 silver rubles, or about 73 millions of pounds sterling. This is an absurdity, which results from eonfouiad ing the assignation ruble money converted in the ratio of 31 rubles to the 1 ruble of the new paper money, as if con verted et par. The assignation money represented in bulk 593,776,310 rubles, of 31 nominal rubles to 1 silver ruble. Of that gro.a amount, 473,732,153 were converted into the new credit hills at the par price with specie of 13.5,362,044 ruble,. The sum total of the conversions of the various classes of old paper before enumerated would amount only to about 185,212,000 rubles in paper at per with the silver ruble, or gay nther more than 291 millions sterling, instead of upwards of 721 millions sterling, as it appears in the French paper. It is impossible to understand, the St. Petersburgh paper quoted from not being before us, how this extraordinary blunder originated, or how the figures quoted, or miscalcu lated, in the Constitutionnel can be reconciled, but with the ukase of 1843 before us, and the complete state of the ciren ktion then about to be submitted to the operation of a new system, there should be no difficulty in arriving at the real state of the circulation as described. On another occasion the subject of Russian finance will be returned to, with more especial reference however to the revenues and possessions of the imperial house, or of the Emperor individually.
