Son. The Atterney-General, on the part of the prosecution, having given notice that the defendants would be brought up to-day for judgment, Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., now moved on the part of Sir William Young fbr a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground that Lord Denman, before whom the indictment was tried, had misdirected the jnry, and also that the verdict was again/Übe evidence. The learned counsel said that his client had been found guilty on the seventh count of the indictment, and Captain Charretie on the flat and seventh counts. The seventh OGEES charged the parties with conspiring to bargain for the sale of the office of a cadet. With regard to Sir W. Young, there was not the slightest tittle of evidence to show that he had participated in a single shilling of the transaction, the only evidence against him being that he bed had recourse to falsehood and ratifies for the purpose of concealing the nee tire of the transaction. The evidence uto the office itself was this, that the sppointment was vested in the directors, and that each director in his turn bad the privilege of nominating a party to the office of cadet, subject to such party having the qualifications which the East India Com pany deemed essential, and to his passing an examination. Sir Wm. Young bad no power to give or to sell the office in question, the whole extent of his power teeing to nominate, therefore he ought not to have been found guilty on the 7th eount, which charged him with selling an office which he had not the power to sell ; upon no possible construction of es evidence could it be inferred that he had bargained to sell the office. If there had been a conspiracy at all between the parties it could only have been to obtain the intervention and patronage of Sir William Young, and there was not the slightest evidence against Sir William Young as to the original transaction. He contended therefore that his lordship should have told the jury that the indictment could not be sustained on the seventh count ; or that the jury had found their verdict agniost the evidence. Another oblection upon which he meant to rely was that this appointment of cadet was charged as an office, place, or appointment, within the provisions of the Act of Parlia ment ; he, however, should contend that a cadet in this country only acquired an inchoate right to an office or employment, the person so appointed not being under the control of the East India Com pany until he arrived in India, whither he went at his own expense, and in whatever way he pleased. On hie arriving in that country, he received a commission in the army . there, and then he became possessed of the office er appointment, but not before. He should further submit that the finding of the jury was inconsistent, inasmuch es they had found his client guilty on the seven& count, and not guilty on several other counts, by which he was charged with aiding and abetting. Lastly, he contended that the learned judge should have told the jury that they ought not to lave taken into their consideration certain letters which were given in evidence, for although they . might have been good evidence against Captain Chara de, they could not have been as against Sit Win. Young, and it appeared to him (the learned counsel) that the jury must have used this evidence for the purpose of concluding that there had been a conspiracy between Captain Charretie and Sir Win. Young. Mr. Crowder, Q.C., moved fey a rule on behalf of Capt Charretie, and took the same objection as to the appointment of a cadet not being an officer until the party reached India. The learned counsel also took genic technical objections to the manner in which the cents of the indictment were framed. —Lord Denman: We think I oth the defendants should have a rule on all the points, except upon the verdict brine inconsistent. With regard to the reception of Mn.s Stuart's lettere, they were evidence against Capt. Charretie, but there does not seem to be any way at all in which they could be received against Sir William Young. CHABOT v. THE COMMISSIONERS or WOODS AND FORInTS.—BATTEIthEA PARE —Mr. M. Chambers moved for a rule calling on the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to show cause why a prnhibition should not i, sue, directing the sheriff of Surrey rot to record the verdict and the judgment in this case, *Lich was a comp, nsation cause tried before the assessor of the under-sheriff of Surrey, the complainant being the owner of property required for the purpose of the new Battersea Park, about two acres of which abutted on the river Thames, acd a small portion, viz , about three roods, being inland: Mr. Chabot claimed the sum of about 10,0001. as comp( nation for the same. It appeared that when the complainant originally purchased the property from Earl Spencer in 1815, it was a wet timber deck, but he had subsequently filled it up with rubbish, and made it equal in height to the adjoin ing land. The complaint now was, that the asussor had told tne jury, upon the information of the Attorney-General and the Recorder of London, that there was a question as to the complainant's title to the land between high and low water mark, and they had accordingly found a verdict for the sum of only 7431., not giving the complainant any com pensation for the land abutting on the river, which five re spectable surveyors had stated as worth from eight to niuc thousand pounds, and for which the complainant had been offered some time ago the sum of 3,oool.—Rule granted. BAIL COURT. Sittings to Banco. before Mr. Justine Erie. Tna QUEEN V. TII6 JUSTICES OF BIDEFORD.—This was a ease in which it may be recollected Mr. M. Smith applied for a certiorari to bring up an order made by the justices of Bideford against the parish of llonkleigh, compelling them to maintain John Hancock, a lunatic pauper. The matter bad stood over fur his lordship's con►ideration.—Mr. Justice Erie said the ground on which this application was made was this, that on behalf of tho parish against whom the order had been made no one was present. Ile was of opi nion that it was not necessary that any one should have been present. The magistrates had the power of adjudicating the settlement of a pauper and of making an order for his main tenance, without the party affected by such order being called upon to appear. Several clauses of the Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 126, confirmed this view. He thought the 89th section applied very vroogly to this point, for by that section, if the settlement of a pauper could not be de termined an order for his maintenance could be made on the treasurer of the county in which he lived. Be thought, therefore, there ought to be no appeal in this case.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS._ COX E. GLUE. Cox V. SAINT, Cox E. 21101:SLILY.— TRIFIPABII WHERE THE FLIGHT TO THE SUBSOIL ONLY 18 LY THE PLAINTII7.—This was an action of trespass for en tering and breaking the plaintiff's close, and was tried at Derby. The verdict was for the plaintiff. A rule nisi had I been obtained for a new trial. It appeared that the action , arose out of the circumstances of the races at Derby being held in a field called the Syddals, belonging to tee plaintiff, who was desirous of putting an end to thi m The defend ant was an innkeeper, and had erected a 1. oath on the field, in doing which he had dug holes to insert posts, and so broken the soil. The corporation by grant, had a right to the close in question, for purposes of pasturage during certain months in the year, and it was at this period the races were held by the permission of the corporation. The qustion was whether the subsoil alone being at the time in the plaintiff, tree pass could be maintained.—Mr. Whitehurst, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Fowler appeared on a former day to oppose the rule, contending that the original owner of the close could main tain trespass for each an injury, as it affected the subsoil. — Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. Serjeant Clarke, and Mr. Wadding ton supported the rule—There was also a cue of " Cox v. Saint," in which tho question was the same—which was to be governed by the decision in " Cox v. Glue." The court postponed its judgment until another case of " Cox v. Mousley, ' which arose, out of a similar trespass, was heard. That ca-e was argued to-day, the same counsel appearing on both sides. The difference in that case was that the action was brought against the defendant, the Mayor of Derby, for entering the plaintiff's close, he being only a visitor at the races, and there wasno breaking of the soil. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant, and a rule to show cause was ob- ' tained to enter a verdict fur the plaintiff.—The court now delivered judgment that in the case of " Cox v. Glue," the jury had found that at the time in question exclusive posses sion of the surface was not in the plaintiff, but that the subsoil was; and the court was of opinion that the ruling of the judge, and the verdict were right. Possession of the surface might be in one person, and the subsoil in another. It appeared here that the burgesses enjoyed the right of herbage, by the mouths of cattle, at certain periods, and that they never enjoyed any other right, and it was I only necessary that they should have possession of the sur face of the soil for the time, when that right was to be en joyed. On the evidence, as it appeared at the trial, the right of the burgesses to the surface was consistent with the right to the subsoil in the plaintiff, and u damage had been done to the subsoil by digging, the defendants were guilty of a trespass, and the verdict was right ; the rule, therefore, must be discharged. With regard to the Cabe of " Cox v. Mousley," the alleged trespass was merely for traversing the close, and the right to the surface being out of the plaintiff, the verdict for the defendant was right, and that rule also must be discharged. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before M. Comm..ioner Goulburn. • • Be W. NEwsos.—The bankrupt, who was a merchant at Calcutta, came up for his certificate, which was unopposed. The principal facts of the case are then On the lot of No- vember, 1844, the bankrupt entered into partnership with Mr. 0. T. Bailey, which was dissolved in November, 1847, Mr. Newton agreeing to receive, in consideration of retiring, 50,000 rupees, or about 5,0001. He left Calcutta in March, 1847, appointing as his agent Mesas. Campbell and Co., who received 11,000 rupees on his account, leaving due about 4,3001. On leaving for England the bankrupt was possessed of some other securities. Soon after Bailey's house suspended payment; and the dissolution not having been gazetted the bankrupt was made liable as a partner to debts and liabilities amounting to 14,2151. To clear himself from these liabilities he had become bankrupt on his own pets- Lion. Only 1301. was owing to his private creditors.—The Commissioner taw no objection to grant the certificate, as, when he retired from the firm, he was solvent, and had a capitol of more than 5,0001. ; but when he arrived here he found himself insolvent, and liable for the debts of the old firm.—Certificate granted. POLICE.—YESTERDAY. meNsioN-HOUSE.—Tbe Lord Mayor announced that he had received the half of a 101. note from "A. 8.," for the poor-163: ' and hoped that, as the season was bec om ing most severe, be should receive abundant contribution', the applicants for which were innumerable. GUILDHALL —A Soymictort.—Maria Ellett, a wait ress at the Punch tavern, in Fltetstreet, was charged with Mailing a sovereign, from Mr. Topham. That gentleman and two friends dined togetherin a private room at the Punch tavern, and were waited on solely by the prisoner. They sat together until 11 o'clock at night, when the bill was pre salad, amounting to 11. 3s. Sd. One of the gentlemen put down a sovereign on the table and Mr. Topham added a baltsovereign. Them! remained on the table some minutes before the girl returned for payment. Whea she did return, Mr. Topham threw down a sovereign, that he might have sham to pay hie equal share of the expenses, but his friends protected they would not permit him. Mr. Topham put the worst. on a Directory lying on the table. The other pa , ~~~ THE EXPRESS SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1848. features of the foreign market to-day. They were freely dealt in—the Peruvian upon the strength of the completion of the bargain with the Peruvian government, proposed indeed by the latter, for the appropriation of a certain proportion of the proceeds of the guano sales to the payment of interest at a certain rate on the debt ; the Spanish urn a sort of general understanding that some distinct proposal would at length be positively brought forward in the Cortes, with a probability of its finding favour there, for the relief of the bondholders ; the project to be grounded upon the disposal and appropriation to the object of the property of the church and of ecclesiastical corporations, and the en forced paying up of all arrears upon the im mense extent of national properties heretofore pur chased, but on which, for the far greater part, but a fractional proportion has found its way into the na tional treasury. Spanish Fives advanced on the faith of expectations, the authority for which was thus dubiously defined, to 221 to 3, but at the dote of busi ness had receded to 211 to 21; the Threes, 32 to 1; Passives, sto 1.

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 64 to 1 ; the Fours, 851 toe. Bills were mach in demand to-day, and the rates of foreign exchange consequently lower, that is, in favour of the sellers, who were not disposed to give so many florins, francs, or other foreign moneys, according to place, for the pound sterling. This de pression of the rates of foreign exchange may be regarded as the first effect of the Bank movement in the reduction of interest. On Amsterdam, the nego tiations were 12.41; on Rotterdam ' 12.41 to 5 ; on Antwerp, 28; on Hamburg, 13.141 to t ; on Frank fort, 123 ; on Paris, 25.90 to 80 ; on Vienna, 10.17 to 19 ; on Leghorn, 31.10 to 15 ; on Naples, 39 ; on Madrid, 461 ; all at 3 months. On Lisbon, 511 to t, at GO days. We have the report unfortunately of the ember rassmenta of another house in the East India trade to-day. We learn from Liverpool that the stoppage of Messrs. N. Crooke and Co. has been announced. The firm was in the East India trade, and much respected. The depositors of the Liverpool Banking Company met again this morning, wher, the deputation reported the result of their interview with the Bank directors. Thew directors now offered to pay one-third of the deposits in cash on the 10th of February, and to accept bills payable on Curry and Co., of London, for the remaining two-thirds, the bills to be due in August and December. The depositors, by a unani mous vote of the meeting, accepted the ffer. A special meeting of the shareholders in the Union Joint Stock Bank of Newcastle, Shields, and Sunder land was held at Newcastle on Thursday; W. Woods, Esq., in the chair ; when a series of resolutions were adopted with regard to the future constitution and management of the establishment. The present ca pital—namely, 500,0001.—is to be increased to 600,001)1. by the creation of new shares of 101. each; the preferential dividend is to be limited to 7 per cent.; the office of general director to be abolished, and two managing directors to be appointed out of the board ; the guarantee fund to be invested only in parliamen tary or government securities, or in the securities of the Bank of England or the East India Company ; a rest to be made in the accounts of the company in March next, or soon after ; the holders of the prefer ence shares not to be liable for the present debts and liabilities of the company ; and another special meeting to be held as soon as applications shall have been re ceived for 20,000 preference shares. These were the results of the proceedings of the meeting, which was of course private. The Bank of England averages for the week end ing the 22nd inst. give, as compared with the returns for the week preceding, the following muffs : Circulation issue .628,359,2115 Circulation active 19,111,880 Public deposits Other &points . ... . . 10,774,870 Got cement securities In hinting deportment... 11,464,e 63 Other securities Coin and bullion !toren-day WA other bills 903,274 The rent The notes in reserve had increased to 7,447,3851., showing an increase of 291,9851., and, with the specie in the banking department 617,5471., making a total reserve of 8,064,9321. The extraordi nary decrease in " other securities" of 744,5731. in ono week, consisting mainly of commercial bills run out, the amount of which, not replaced by other discounts, may be accepted, together with the large accumulation of reserve, as the moving cause of the Bank reduction yesterday. The Bank, by the main , tenanee of its higher rate, was in fact losing its dis count business, which was naturally passing on the more preferabl e conditions obtainable to other banks and the discount houses. It will be seen that mean while the Bank had been increasing its stock of government securities, partly by direct purchase, partly by the replacement of stock borrowed, or pre viously lent out to parties who had been under the necessity of applying for, and had obtained, assistance in that shape. The other heads of this return present no peculiar feature, as in the ordinary routine of affairs, and so anticipated.

MEETINGS —SorTH YOILISHIRE, DONCASTER, AND GOOLE.—Special Meeting to decide whether the contract for executing certain works should be entered into or not within the next twelve months.—Dr. Dymond in the chair.—The Secretary read the eighth skction or the art for giving further time to railway companies for the completion of their works, and afterwards a circular letter to the share holders from which we quote the following : - - - - The amalgamation between this company and the Dim Navigation Company was, by the resolutions of the houoc of last melon, deferred until half the capital of the south Yorkshire vhould be paid op. In I the mean time, however, the surplus profits of the navigation com pany Wong to the railway company, and must aecumulate until the amalgamation takes place, when the amount accumulated will be paid over, and divided as profits noun the railway capital paid up. Tha directors have resolved that from the 22nd inst. the rate of dividend shill be Increased from sto 6 per cent. per annum upon all capital paid up. Dividend warrants will be footled far the amount of each half-year, rsyable at the company's bankers' one month after the amalgamation. The amalgamation will be completed as soon as 101. I per share shall have been paid up nod laid out on the works. M. per share in already paid up; and the directors propose, in MAC the money shall not be sooner pakl in advance, to call up U. per share in the ' course of the present year, via., It. on the Ist of May next; 11. on I the lot of August next; and D. on the lot of November next. The remaining 41. necessary to make up one half the capital, the directors propene to call up In the course of the year 11149. the amalgamation wall therefore be complete , and the profita divieible, in the course of 1810 at the latest. Shareholders paying voluntarily in advance, so ass to supersede all calls for the prevent yt'ar, will be allowed interred at 5/. percent. per annum, roayable half-yearly; ;old it fa proposed to add a d ivi timid out of profits of 21. per cent. per annum, payment deferred until the amalgamation—making U. per cent. upon moneys paid In advance, and 61. per cent. upon moneys paid on cal* until the opening of the line from Doomater to Swinton. The amount to be paid in advance must be limited to such a sum as the directors can profitably employ in the immediate construction of the works. The directors propose immediately to execute that part of the lino which extends from Don canter to the Midland Railway at Swinton, with a mat line to the nearest collieries. This, the engineers report, cam he acoomplished within the year; and it will give an immediate profitable income to the company. Mr. Richardson observed that rot one word was mentioned about their liability to the Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, and Goole Company. He had understood that the share holders of the South Yorkshire were not bound to take shares in the Rotherham line.—Mr. Baxter (the solicitor) said that every shareholder in the South Yorkshire Com pany was bound by his subscription contract to take part of the stock allotted to the company in the Sheffield and Wake field line. He admitted. that as between the companies they could net accept shares in the Wakefield Company till half the capital was paid up, but the individual shareholders were hound to take their proportion of shares in the Sheffield and Wakefield Company. He should he happy to show that gentleman's solicitor under what authority they were com pelled to take any shares allotted.—Mr. Richardson admitted the value of the line, but was only wishing for a clear expla nation as to their responsibility with regard to that line.— Mr. Thompson (a director) said it was agreed that the directors of the South Yorkshire should purchase shares in the Sheffield and Rotherham line—Mr. Jo siah Wilson asked bow they stood towards the Dun Navigation Company ?—The Chairman stated that the railway company allowed to the Dun company 1201. per share interest till the railway was opened, and then 150 shares of the railway for each Dun navigation share. When the railway was opened they could pay off the Dun propri etors by returning them 3,0001. per share any time within tea years.—The assents and dieeents were then enumerated by the secretary, when there appeared to he 14,52.5 shares present at the meeting, out of which 11.135 were assents, and 3,300 were dissents, being considerably over three-fifths required by the act of parliament.—Mr. J. Wilson was afraid that those who dissented had only done so from dire necessity of circumstances.—The resolution for proceeding was therefore carried, and the meeting adjourned. KENDAL AND WINDERMERE.—IfaIf-Yearly 3feetirip.— Kendal, Jan. 25 —Mr. J. Gandy in the chair.—The directors' report stated th.it, in consequence of the cost of a double line instead of a single one, as originally intended, applica tion had been made to parliament for power to raise ad ditional capital. The amount expended in doubling the line had been about 45,000!. The capital account to 31st Dec., 1847, showed that 151,478!. had been received, and 169,8881. expended, leaving a balance of 18,4101. due by the com pany. From the revenue account for the half-year ending 31st December, it appeared that 5,6.50/. had been received, and 3,393!. expended, leaving a profit of 2,1571. The rev et was adopted —At the Special Meeting, held shortly after wards, resolutions were passed approving of the bill for raising additional capital, not exceeding 50,000/. in share* and 16,0001. by loans; and confirming the forfeiture of 468 shares for non-payment of calls. • • • - SHREWSBURY . AND BIEMINOHAM. - Sp'cial General ifeeting.—Wolverhampton, Jan. 28.—Mr. 0. Gore, M.P., in the choir.—This meeting was held pursuant to the provi gone of the I Ith Victoria, and was for the purpose of deter mining whether contracts for executing certain works, should be entered into within twelve months after the passing of the act referred to. These works comprised, first, the branch line from Shiffnall to Madeley and Ironbridge (originally a part of the line contemplated by the Dudley, Madeley, and Bewley Company); :and.' secondly, the station at 3 Aolver hamptoo and junction with the main line, authorised by the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Rail way Act of 1.816. The report of the directors stated, that by the act above noticed, the consent of the shareholder* was required previously to entering lato contracts for the works already named, and they declared their own views iu the following terms: "The directors, considering it to be for the advantage of the share holders that the works on the main line from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton should be finished with as little delay as possible, so as to realise as early a return as practicable on the outlay, have no intention of using the capital at their disposal for other works so as to impede that result. At the same time it must be kept in mind that the branch line from Sbiffnal to Madeley and Ironbridge is intended to ac commodate the important traffic between South Stafford shire and the Coaltrookdale district, and that the traffic on the mainline mustfbeconsiderably increased when this branch ir opened. If thes; objects can b; effected without an imme diate outlay on the part of the proprietors, it will obviously be their interest to avail themselves of any ouch opportunity. The directors have accordingly to report that they have re ceived offers from the principal landowners oa the has to receive the company's debentures for the land required; they have also received an offer from a most respectable con tractor to enter into a contract for the works on advanta geous terms, and t receive a considerable put of the amount in like manner. It is, therefore, on the condition that such contract shall not increase the amotnt of calls during the present year that the proprietors are asked to sanction the same. The other contract proposed to be entered into will involve a much smaJer outlay of capital, and may be required for the completion of the main line, as it is at present uncertain which lines will first bo completed beyond Wolverhampton -whether the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley, in connexion with the high-level station, or the Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, in connexion with the low-level--by either of which this company will secure a continuous line to Birmingham." At the time this report waii:elo•ed the votes of the shareholders had not been an nounced ,• but judging from the number of schedules then examined, there can be no doubt but that the " assents" to the view taken by the directors exceeded the "dissentients" by a very large majority. Br In/MOHAN AND OX FORD UNCTION. -Adjourned tine cinl sleeting.-Birmingham, Jan. 28.-Mr. R. H. Musty. in the chair.-The suit before the Lord Chancellor being still pending, Mr. Colereore moved a further adjournment until Saturday, Feb 19, which was agreed to. MISCELLANEOUS N E WS.-OREAT NORTH ERN.- We (Doncaster Chronicle) understand that the earthwork between the Bentley hank and the Junction with the Askern Branch at Reedholm, will be completed at the end of the present month (January), and that the permanent rails will be proceeded with as early as possible, in order that the line may he ready for opening early in spring. The line between Bentley and Doncaster is not in so forward a state, owing to the works being of a much heavier character, but no time will be lost in comp!. ling the junction with the purposed Doncaster S•ation. The company have not yet completed the purchase of all the land required for the site of the station and plant, but negotiations are drawing to a close, and in a few days they will be in possession of all they require. It is satisfactory to state that so far the company have not found it necesaary to appeal to a jury, although the prices asked have been exorbitant, and those paid most liberal. We un derstand that it is the intention of the company to form a spacious dock in the Crimpsall, and the first erection will probably be en extensive iron foundry by the side of it-The line through and on the east side of Lincoln is proceeding rapidly.

Mr. Topham, believing the girl bad taken it up, asked for the change. She denied having had it. She had, she said, only taken up a sovereign and a half, and she said she would not leave the room until she was searched, and she desired him to look in his own pockets to see if he had not taken It up himself, when his friends said he should not pay his portion. The muter was called up, the girl produced all the money she had, being 11. 12e. in silver, and entered into an account with her master. She had 11. 3s. Eid. In her pocket when she began business in the morning, and the t3s. Bd. wutheiper4uisitesof the day. Mr. Topham fetched in a policeman, the girl was searched at the station, and nothing further was found on her except a memorandum book which contained a note of the cash she put in her pocket to give change, namely, 11. 3a. Bd.. tallying with the verbal statement she had before made. At the station, Mr. Topham wished to abandon the charge, saying he hoped what had occurred would deter her from doing such a thing again.—A very long examination and eross-examination of the three gentlemen ensued. Neither of them had distinctly seen the girl take up the sovereign. Her master gave her an excellent character, and after hearing the legal gentle man, Sir William Maguey said this was a most unfortunate and unjustifiable charge. The probability was that Mr. Topham had unconsciously put the sovereign in his own pocket when his friends said he should not pay his part of the bill, and he ought to have withdrawn the charge at the elation on the ground of her innocence, and not of her taking warning. In discharging her, Sir William expressed his opinion that the examination had not left the least stain on the purity of her character, and that she bad been treated shamefully by Mr. Topham.—She was discharged. CLERKENWELL.—EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A BER VANT.—Mary Williams and James Williams, her husband, en ex-policeman, were finally ex•mined, the former charged with an extensive robbery on her master, Mr. William Thomas Abud, of No. 1, St. James-atreet, Clerkenwell, and the latter with having received the property, knowing it to have been stolen.—The prisoner had been in custody under the name of William Davey, but had been ultimately die charged, a policeman being set to pursue further inquiries. On going' to Millwall, Rotherhithe, where the prisoner said he lived, the policeman Isaacs found that he had formerly lodged there, but had left, and was residing at No. 8, New row, Deptford. The officer kept a watch on the male pri soner, and being informed that he was a married man, he followed him, and at length discovered that he was in com munication with the female prisoner, who was in the service of the prosecutor, and she was in the habit of plunderine him and banding over the property to the male prisoner, and he (the officer) telt himself justified in taking them both into custody. When at the station house they denied all knowledge of each other, and said they were never married ; but subsequently, the female admitted that he was her husband. On searching the male prisoner's lodgings, No. 8, New-road, Deptford, the officer found a large chest crammed full of articles, consisting of plate, jewellery, bookejweering apparel, and other property, to a considerable amount, a great number of pawnbrokers' duplicates, and in the room was also found largo maps, account bOoks, chains, rings, &c.; the whole of which were now produced, and identified by Mr. Abud as being his pro perty. The male prisoner was also traced to have sold numerous valuable books belonging to the prosecutor. The female prisoner had been in hisscrvice upwards of three years, and having entered it with an excellent reference as a widow the utmost confidence was reposed in her up to the time of the discovery of the robbery, but it would appear that she had commenced her plunder from her first entering the situation, and although the robbery was of so extensive a nature none of the property was missed until it wu dis covered in the possession of the male prisoner. He wu for merly an officer connected with the M division of Metro politan police, but was discharged.—Mr. Ahud identified the whole of the property produced —J. Crawford, ahopmaa to Mr. Dowling. bookeciler, of Newitste-street, identified the mole prisoner es having sold several books, which the pri soner described as his own property.—Numerous pawn brokers were in attendance, with articles that had been pledged by the prisoner, and the court had the appearance of a sale room.—Since the remand the prisoners had ad (hewed a letter to Mr. Abud, in which they begged him to excuse them for this their first offence ; their characters had been hitherto untainted • they hoped he would have mercy, sod not send them to th e sessions. Their lives were in his hands ; they would beg on their knees for merry.—The pri soners were committed for trial. CHARITY.—We are requested to state that "A. J." has for warded 31., and "0. 0: IL, to the poor-box of this court, with a request that they might be acknowledged in the morning papers. WORSH I P.STR EET.

Allen was charged by a polies serjeant, who stated that, yesterday morning, he saw the prisoner come out of a stable in Iron gate-wharf, Paddington, with a full sack upon his shoulders, he was asked where he was going, when he replied to the Great Western Railway-station, and that he was doing the task for a wager. Witness told him that he was going that way, too, and would walk with him a little distance, upon which intimation the prisoner threw down his load, and made off as fast as he could, but was speedily retaken, and locked up. The sack, which was full of oats, was the property of the Paddington Omnibus Conveyance Company, and it is imagined that the prisoner has upon other occa sions committed the like offence. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, repeated the story as to the wager, the amount of which, be said, was 55., he bad no intention of committing a rot.bery.—Remanded fur a week. LAMBETH.—A CHILD ROBBING HIS PAIIENTB.—J. Purnell, the little boy only 11 years of age, who has been before examined on a charge of stealing eight sovereigns, which had been saved up a little at • time by his parents, and Mary Walker, who has also been charged with harbouring the child and receiving a large portion of the money well knowing it to have been stolen, and who, when all was spent, turned the little fellow into the street, were placed at the bar for final examination. The facts of the female prisoner having purchased a large assortment of things with the money she had taken from the boy, and a suit of sailor's dress, and south-wester for him, in order to disguise his person from the police, whe had information of the rubbery and a descrip tion of his person, were deposed to. The boy himself prevari cated • goed deal in his statements, and Mr. Elliott con ceiving it to be the beat course, both fur the sake of tbe pa rents as well as the boy himself, to send the case for trial, the boy and the woman were fully committed.—Mr. Elliott informed the mother of the lad that funds sufficient to make up her leas had been forwarded by three humane indivi duals, but it was indispensable, before it was paid over to her, that her character should be strictly inquired into. The money should therefore remain in the kinds of the chief clerk until after the trial, when, if her character was found to be such as represented, she should have it.—Andrewe, the second usher, said he lived Won to the residence of Mrs. Purnell, and had heard an excellent character of her. SOUTHWARK.—EXTRAORDINART CONDUCT OP THE BANK OF ENGLAND S TRUE ) .—Just as Mr. Cottingham wan about to leave the bench, M r. Franklin, a tradesman in the Borough, attended before him, to ask his advice re specting a 501. note, which was detained by the clerks at the Bank of England. Applicant said that on the previous day he disposed of the goodwill of his business (a beer-shop) to a person for 701. He received from him a 501. Bank of Eng land note and some small change. He owed his brewer and a few other portions a little money, and proceeded to the Bank that afternoon to get the note changed for the purpose of paying them ; but on presenting it for payment he was told that it bad been stopped, and that be must go to the secre tary. He was instantly taken to the latter gentleman, who told him that Mr. Wised, the brewer, had stopped the note, and that the Bank could not restore it or change it un less with the consent of that gentleman. He certainly owed him a trifle, but still the Bank had no business to detain hie note.—Mr. Cottingham: Did the secretary tell you why be detained your note ?—Applicant The only thing he said was, that Mr. M'Leod had stopped it, and they could not pay the change unless they had some advice from him.—Mr. Cottengham : It is extraordinary conduct on the part of the authorities of the Bank. Do you suppose the note to be stolen ?—Applicant : I received it from a highly respectable party, and am sure that such is not the cue. I think that Mr. M'Leod hu stopped it through spite, becausej would not trust him with the note to pay himself.—Mr. Cottingham: The Bank has no right to stop under any such pretence. They are liable to an action, and if all is true what applicant has stated, he would get heavy damages.—Applicant: It is perfectly true ; all I have told you is exact as it has taken place. M'Leod was at the gates of the Bank when I went in, and u soon as the clerk told me that he would not give it up without his sanction, I went outside and asked him to come in, and here fused.—Mr. Cottingham: f never heard such extraordinary conduct on the part of the Bank of England before. Go to the Bank to-morrow morning, and demand your note in the presence of respectable witnesses, and if they then refuse you, serve them instantly with a writ of action, and I have no doubt they will have to pay you well. Don't listen to any compromise, as it is shameful conduct on their pert, if all you have told me is true.—Applicant repeated that it was quite true, and left the court with the determination of fol. rowing the magistrate's suggestion.

COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, JAN. 28.—T0-day the demand was pretty good, and the soles were 5,000 bales, at the highest prices of the week. American descriptions, but particularly the lower and middling qualities, were in good reque3t : to day they commanded an advance of id. per lb. In the fair and good qualities there was little change, and they were only in limited request. The authorised quotations of " fair ' qualities of Orleans and Mobiles are the same as last week ; that of Uplands has advanced id. per lb. Brazils and Egyptians were freely offered, and being only in limited con sumption they were dull of sale, at last week's prices. Surats are in extensive consumption, and in very good demand, and they commanded full prices. 500 bales of American and 70 Maranhams were taken for export. 500 Sea Islands were declared fir public auction on Friday next. WORSTED STUFFS, &c. -BRADFORD, JAN. 27. — There was a pretty fair attendance of merchants in the Pi. ce Hall this morning, but some of them bought only sparingly. The purchases were chiefly by houses engaged in the home trade, by whom Cobourgs and other fabrics suitable for the I spring were readily bought. The yarn market exhibited the same paucity of demand for expert; though there wee a 'little more business done on Scotch account, and mohair yarns seemed in greater request. The wool market exhibited rather more activity, but the purchases were not in (inlet proportion. There was, however, an improvement in the extent of asks, and they might have been greater, if the staplers would have submitted to any reduction, but they held firm. BLANKETS. ligcsstownwing, JAN. 27.—The im provement which was noticed as manifesting itself on Mon day, was not will supported to-day; yet the manufacturing districts are more actively employed than for some time past, owing to a few government orders having been received. Prices remained without alteration. HOSIERY AND LACE 'TRADES.— Norrisonkm, JAN. 28.—The condition of many of the branches of the hosiery manufactures continues gradually to improve, and many of the shops which are employed in making silk gloves and drawers, which a few days since only showed a solitary light are now in the full blue of illumination, every flame being employed; but this is by no means universal. The cutup hose hands have rather more employment, but, upon the whole, they are still suffering moat severely. The cotton glove trade is still in rather a depressed state ; many silk gloves have been made from cotton frames wholly cut: this has been one cause of the dearth of employment of the silk frames in the town. The fever of emigration to America still continues, the stockingers and others using every expe dient to raise money to pay their passage. The last division of the expedition to Turkey has sailed, and only a few more hands were engaged. The bobbin net trade is in a more critical state than ever ; the principal manufacturer and factory owner in this district has dis charged most of the hands at his works, wbile it is confi dently asserted that the owner of another large and im portant factory in this vicinity contemplates stopping the whole of his machines. Whilst this is going on another factory owner has sold off his nets by waggon loads, and has mcs theto be hete b er ni e lt e ; f but the then h a t Ly g: t v n e y n h o e rd eeger ers most inferior description, being made of extremely coarse dfoed for as new finisher, machines quality and thick cotton, the market for these articles being the back settlements of the 'United States, where they like the cut-up stoekings, which are forced upon the wo r k pop u in lien of money. To speak generally, the late trade as in a most stagnant condition, and a sort sf panlysi amongst the factory OWILIeII. In the must of as maw dis couraging circumstances in the lags trade, we ars gad t o observe that there is a slight reaction in the enmesh warp branch, whilst the pusher machines in general maintain their ground. The bobbin and carriage and comb and bolt shops are still in a ♦ery stagnant condition,heing in a manner half closed, with a solitary exception or two.—Nottingham Journal.
