THE NORFOLK AND NORWICH ARCILEOLOGICAL Sectary held their second anniversary meeting on Thursday, at the ?Caitlin. the lord bishop in the chair.—The secretary read a report for the past year, in which a most gratifying sonnet of the society's progress was laid before the sub- I scribers. The committee feeling justified by the present financial state of the society, stated their intentkin of print ing several papers now in their hands for that purrose.— Mr. Harrod then read a paper on some ancient shields in the ceiling of the south aisle of St. Nicholas Church, at Yarmouth, by T. W. King, Esq., Rouge Dragon in the Cel • lege of Arms, to whom the shields had been confided to be re-embleruned. When Mr. King saw them, previous to their removal from the ceiling, he was led to conclude that they were the arms of King Edward 111. and his five eons minuter inspection, that supposition was found to be erroneous; and in the paper now read, Mr. King showed to whom the shields respectively belonged. The entire number of shields were thirty-two, of which, however, two were mere imitations, and bore no devices. In his present paper Mr. King described several of them, accompanying each description with suitable details and identifying data. The first 'Mild bore the emblem of the Holy Trinity ,• the second the arms of the emperor, or an eagle with two heads displayed sable ; the third shield was that of Edward 111. ; the fourth, of Edward the Black Prince ; the others noticed in this paper were, those of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, of Edmund of Langley, Duke of York, and Thomas of Wood stock, Duke of Gloucester, also sons of Edward III.; of John, Duke of Bedford, third son of Henry IV.; and of Thomas of Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk, fifth eon of 1 Edward I.—The Rev. J. Bulwer made some remarks on ', several drawings of mural paintings in Crostwiek ehu lately discovered by clearing away the plaster which covered them.—Sir John Boileau mentioned the circumstance of ea extensive discovery of first brace Roman miss, to the num ber of nearly 200, at Cbesterford, on the hoe of railway.— After some further desultory conversation, the president vacated the chair, and the company assembled round the table to inspect the curiosities and antique relics which were there exhibited. BISUIMILUeuuIua. PROPOSED NEW GAOL AT BEDPORD.—The advo cates for • new gaol have advanced one step nearer the con summation of their wishes; and, judging from the feeling displayed by the court of quarter sessions on Tuesday, it is expected there will be either a very considerable alteration is the present buildings, to adapt them to the new system, or an entirely new erection upon the principle of the Penton vale prison. The court decided upon °tiering premiums for the best plane and estimates for altering the present prisons and, in the event of these not proving satisfactory, there will be no alternative but to adopt the extreme course, the erec tion of a new gaol, a majority of the magistrates having affirmed that the present prisons are totally inefficient to carry out the provisions of the act. The expense involved in the latter course is estimated at 15,0001.; but it is feared this calculation is much within the mark. li lAn LE.a r as. a.s.r. THE NEW COUNCIL-HOUSE AND THE STOCK Ex- CHAMOIS, BRISTOL, were yesterday placed in imminent peril of being destroyed, by a lire which broke out on the pre mises of Mr. Smith, tailor, Exchange, which divides the two buildings. The conflagration extended from the shop and offices of Mr. Smith to the workshops of Mr. Lander, engraver. The flames burnt with great fury, and there can be little doubt that the justice-room of the council-house would have been seriously damaged, if not entirely de stroyed, but for the active and well-directed exertions of some of the officers of the corporation, who, by passing water over the roof, and pouring it upon the building, averted the threatened injury. The dome which lights the justice- room had at one time caught fire, and the building in which the mischief originated was so far burnt, that nothing remained between it and the Stock Exchange but the wall of the room in which the brokers transact their business. ILAMPSHIRE. SALE OF MARSH LAND.—The second sale of build ing land on the Southampton Marsh took place last week by direction of the committee of the town council, to whom are entrusted the carrying out of the Marsh Improvement Act. The land is let at an annual charge for a term of seventy five year', at the expiry of which the property built thereon is to be absolutely yielded up to the town council. Upwards of 8001 par annum is already secured, for about 60 lots let, and shoot 240 lots remain to be submitted at future sales. Previous to the commencement of the sale on Tuesday the town clerk stated that the railway company had 'served the committee with notice of their intention to acquire the land set oat in their deposited plans under the powers of the act for which they will apply in the forthcoming ees>ion. The amount of ground rents secured at this sale was very nearly 440/. The proceeds of the marsh encl. sure will be devoted to the enfranchisement of the common lands, and draining. planting, and rendering them ornamental for purposes of public recreation. The prices obtained at the two sales already held for most of the lots were very far beyond that which any othet building land in the town or neighbourhood has hitherto realised. Some of the " fancy lots," for which the highest prices were given, brought sums equivalent to the rate of 20.0001. to 30,0001. per acre ! THE TENANTRY OF BADLY FARMED DISTRICTS. — A Hants correspondent of the Go) deners' Chronicle says: " When Mr. Huxtable was asked if he would allow the tenants to remain On their farms around him, his reply was— None! Why? Because they possessed neither capital nor Ain. The same answer may be made of hundreds of tenants who are perfectly unfit to occupy farms. Many temente have had the mortification to return to the condition of a labourer (though better for them), whilst others have obtained the situation of bailiffs, and at the same time very little fitted to he ouch. Tradesmen who have failed in business will take a farm, become tuined, and are swain seeking more humble employment. Many farms in Hampshire, as well a+ in Dorset, are in the hands of men unfit to cultivate them. Where rents are moderate, the tenant ploughs and sows his best fields, and leaves others overrun with weeds and furze which might be very profitably cul tivated. Again, others occupy farina at a high rent, which have been cropped and scourged by half a d. zen bankrupt tenants before them, and can barely pay their rent and wawa a. In both these cases the tenant, were badly se lected, and the great fault lies with the proprietor or his agent in the letting of these farms. Land agents or stewards who have manors and farms to manage, demand rents where the estate cannot produce the rental; but they do this splay to gain favour with their employers, and in many in stances deal very harshly with tenants. Lord Stanley very lately made some most judicious and practical observa tions on the leasing of farms, and pointed out the injus tice dealt out to tenants in general. Ladies of manors are well known to make very bad squires, but the real blame rests with their agents. If an owner of an estate taken it into his ow n hands, he is told he is depriving a glass of men (i, e. tenants) of their livelihood—that they know nothing of the custom of the country—that any new system or experiment they may try or adopt are so many " Maggots." And many farmers, who might derive great benefit by being spectators of these msieeotty operations, joinin the outcry that no gentle man ought to manage his own estate, still less rent any land. They show a decided hostility to those who employ many hands, or pay more reasonable wages; abuse new implements, and endeavour to excite a prejudice against V.ein. Some of the Hampshire tenantry are now dis charging ene and twe labourers each from their farms; and, as a consequence, the poor-rates wilt be increased; and nothing can be so 100 , CTIV as the state of the hedges and ditches on these farms. We go not for one moment wish to condemn ail these men; there are many good tenants. It is the ch iff ..f the tenantry we would wish to winnow. The time is at hand when a different class of men will become tenants, persons of a superior education and intelligence, and also possessed of a larger amount of capital; and it is by such men as these we trust to see the land improved and its products increased." CHANNEL ISLANDS. THE VACANT GOVERNOR-GENERALSHIP. The Guernsey Slar, of Friday, says:—" Frost a private letter received by a gentleman in this island, it is believed that Meier-General John Bell, C. 8., an old Peninsular officer, in to fill the post of Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, ren dered yamint by the removal of hlajor.General Napier. General Bell's appointment has not yet appeared in the London Gazette, nor, we believe, has any official intimation of it been received in the island. The statement, therefore, Mt. entirely on the private letter above mentioned ; but from the position and means of information possessed by the writer, we consider that there is no reason to doubt of its perket accuracy. Under this belief, we give the following notice ot Major-General Bell's services , jor-General Bell served in Sicily in 1806 and 1807 ; in the Penin sula and France from July, 1808, to February, 1809 ; and again from May, 1809, to July, 1814, including the battle of Vimiera, the action at the bridge of Almeida, the battle of Bunco, all the actions during the retreat of the French from Portugal, the siege and storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, the siege and storming of Badsjoz, the action at the heights of Castrillos, the battle of Salamanca, the action of Sabijana de Merinos, the battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse. He served afterwards with the army employed against Louisiana, from December, 1814, to June, 1814, and has received a cross for the battles of the Pyrenks, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse. Major-Oen. Bell is married to one of the daughters of the Earl of Malmes bury, another of whom was married to the late General Sir Lowry Cole, father of Capt. Cole, tn. some time in garrison in this island in the depo t of the 27th Regt." LITERATURE. Italy, s is Past anektfssent. By L. Mmuor i t. 2 vole. 1848. Thi an exceedingly s easonable, ntelligent, and interesting work, written evidently by . an Italian who has shaken off the mat, and classicism, and too amiable simplicity of domestic Italian writers. The author has obviously dwelt long and observed much amidst each great nation of the civilised world—the English, the French, the German, and the Anglo- American—and this gives a fullness and value to his observations and comparison, which render them most worthy of attention. We must, however, confess that we have confined our perusal chiefly to the last volume, the first being, in, a great measure, critical and historical, and being emphatically styled the Past, whilst the Present heads each page of the second volume. The past of Italy, even of modern Italy, is an interesting and fertile subject, one ,to which we may recur : but its present has so much more powerful attractions, and is so difficult to get a might of, exoeit by persoaal lih, THE EXPRESS TUESDAY ,EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1848. of Italian society, like Mr. Mariotti, that we need offer no excuses for preferring it. The following chapters, on the present of Italy, contain much interesting information on the rip. sedve subjects. Their titles are : Mayer, or Popular negation in Italy ; Anna Pepoli, or the Deimos cl the Wooten of Italy. (Roberti, Ateglio, mg Pies IL lave each their chapter. The essay on Mayer, or Education, commences with a singular regret for an Italian, yet not an uncharao teristic one. It regrets that education in Italy does not teach either religion or resignation ; but on the contrary, instils nothing beyond the de sirability of worldly preferment, and the advioe to reverse by study the inequality which poverty and low birth create. Now, as this is the greet doctrine of all the schools in the w orld we don t see why Mr. Merlotti should object to it. He does so, because England, if it excites such desires and such activity, satisfies both, whereas, however excited in Italy, it can never be satisfied. We hope Mr. Mariotti is mistaken. Let him look up, and in hope: a sphere of activity will open for Italians, as for men of other countries. Mr. Mariotti gives an interesting account of the national universities, founded so liberally in the old republican spirit, then deserted on the loss of the national liberty, and allowed to sink into mere acade? Ries of learned languages, then emancipated by the revolution,' and about to prosper, until &spoliator rifled. came to strangle them. When perfectly dead, the Italian universities were handed over to the Jesuits. The first improvement in education, although in the lowest and elementary department of it, was in Lombardy. Thus Germany b..gan to dim its educational principles upon Italy. Pri mary schools were opened in Milan and Venice, and intrusted to the laity. The PiedmontesC government also opened schools, but left dm to the clergy. In Tuscany and Parma schools was permitted to be founded by private beneficence. In Rome and Modena even this was forbidden. In Lombardy all children must be sent to school between the age of six and twelve, under fine of half a lire a month to the parents. It is but justice to state that in the matter of primary education and its secular nature, the Austrian government of Lombardy is not only more liberal and enlightened than other Italian governments, but is more so than even the government, parliament, and public of England! So let us not cry fie! upon the Aust. inns in all matters. Whilst Austria was thus promoting education, what was the state of things in the south of Italy ? It was such, that Mayer, of Leg horn, the author of the " Guide del Educatore," who preached the necessity of substituting " popular educa tion" for the "lottery" as a government institution, was, for the crime of thus preaching, thrown into a dungeon at Rome, where he lingered four whole months! Such facts as these, proving how far Rome was behind even the government of Lombardy, in crease the feeling of congratulation at now finding Rome itself regenerated. " Anna Pepoli" is an interesting chapter on the com parative state and character of young womanhood in Italy, and in other countries. It contains, among other sketches, an extremely lively one of girlhood in America—severe but not illiberal, and highly useful as a study. The Abate Gioberti is chiefly celebrated for having now these some years foretold the regeneration of 1 Italy. What is singular is, that Gioberti predicted its regeneration through the means of its present install tions, and without getting rid of one of them. He is for a temperate monarchy—a council of state rather than a representative assembly ; he is for a censorship, the authority of the clergy, the existence of the monks. In short, he is not only for a detwaistno illus (ratio, but for a despotism in the nineteenth century, adorned with all the improvements of modern times, as well as with all the incumhrances of the old. Italy is not only to regenerate itself, but the world, which it is to re-convert to catholicism by the best possible way indeed—viz., ridding catholicism of its nonsense. Gioberti, in his attempt to conciliate every person and everything, failed however to con ciliate the Jesuits. They corsequently became his mortal antagonists, and would not have Christians reformed, nor catholicism modified, even for the sake of bringing back Europe into the pale of the church. Gioberti, however. pacific, was not to be put down. And be accordingly took up his pen to prove, at im mense length, the existence of the Jesuits incompati ble with society at all, much less with its improvement. We must hero pause with our review, under the determination to return, at a future period, to what the writer says of Pius the Ninth, and of the Mar iuis _Mum. WILSON'S SONGS OF SccrrLAND.—Last evening, 1 Mr. Wilson commenced his weekly series of vocal entertain- , merits in the Music-hall, Store-street. His programme presented little novelty, but his eel( ction comprised some of the most beautiful and pathetic of his ballads, mingled with several of those comic pictures of old Scottish manners which he gives with so much humour and dramatic effect. Of the one elm we had " Saw ye my wee thing," " Lizzie Lind- • say," " Auld Robin Gray," and " 0 tell me how to woo thee." 01 the other, "Come under my plaidie," "Duncan Gray," " The Laird o' Coekpen," and si veral others equally pleasing and charact , ristic. One was new to us— " The Married Man's Lament," the words of which, though very Scotch, have the appearance of being modern, while the melody is certainly not Scotch, but English, being the air of the song, " When I followed a lass," sung by Justice Woodcock in " Lave in • Village." Mr. Wilson was in full possession of his vocal powers, and sang with hit usual simplicity, expression, and spirit ; and the applause which he received from a numerous audience showed that the national snugs of Scotland, sang as he sings them, never lose their freshness and attraction. VERDI'S GENUSALEMME.—Verdi's "Jerusalem " has now become one of those grand sources of attraction in Paris, which recall the palmy days of ancient times. Great changes are, it is said, about to take place in the personnel of the opi ra at the close of the present season. According to report, neither Dupree nor Barhoilet are to re-engaged, and several others of less note also retire. It is not, how ever, stated who are to replace the first tenor and baritone. ' It seems certain that Roster is engaged at this theatre; he is not, however, to appear before the commencement of next • year, when he will (Milan . in the long-talked-of opera of M. Meyerbeer, " Le Prophete," should no new obstacle arise in ; the interim fartl.er to delay the production of that expected , clterd'wurre. Roger, it is said, leareethe Opera Comique l in July, and will probably spend a few months in Italy pre ' vious to assuming his perilous post at the Academia. Zbe Drama. FRENCR PLAYS.—ST. W5'S Til EATRE.—Two new pieces were produced yesterday evening, the one a domestic drama by MM. Alexandre Dumas and Charles Latent, entitled " Jarvis, l'honnete hornme ; ou le Marchand de Londres ;" the other a vaudeville, called, " La Veune de Quires Ans." The former is a play of much interest in its slight plot, well constructed, and admirably performed. The hero is a London merchant, whose probity and truthfulness have acquired for his mere word even, more unqiiestic fling credit than is given to other men's bonds. He is honoured by the universal city as Jarvis, Use Honest Man. Cited before Judge Jeffries for complicity in Monmouth's insurrection—his only share in which was the promise to an old friend that should the attempt he un successful be will adopt that friend's sole child—other proofs astainst him failing, he is required to declare upon his word that he is guiltiest of any knowledge of the plot; he vindicates his word, and is condemned to die on the morrow morning, at six. Sympathy with his affliction at the thought of dying ere he has once more seen hie daughter, draws from the Lieu tenant of the Tower, an old friend, permiraion for him to visit her house, on his word that he will return to his dungeon at four o'clock, prepared to undergo his sen tence. To his daughter he feigns that he has been released on condition of quitting the country with the riling sun, and he makes this allegation the ground of at once celebrating her marriage with her lover, the confidential clerk of the house. The daughter, however, discovers e truth; and, to save her fa ther's life, drugs his wi th ne with • narcotic, and conveying him, by her lover's aid, to a carriage. effects their escape. In the next act, the period of which is three years later, we find Jarvis, a proscribed exile, and, from the discovery that his involun tary flight has occasioned the execution of the Lieutenant of the Tower in his default, • maniac, the ecstacies of his meaner, being directed against his daugh ter, whom be regards as the cause of his dishonour. Ultimately, it is found that the Lieutenant of the Tower, though actually hanged, had, by the care of a friendly physician, been brought back to life, and is now safe in • foreign land. The intelligence made known to the apprehension of Jarvis, restores him to himself and to his daughter, and the further intelligence of the expulsion of James 11. restores bum to his count r y . The acting Rouge in the various phases of the hero'spart was most effective ; there was great energy, without the slightest appearance of bombut. Bocage was admirably played up to by M. Fecbter, M. Janet, and M. Tourill in, and by Mdme. Rebut Fecbter. Tile vaudeville is too slight a matter to require detailed notice. It was pl ea santly embodied by MM. Tonrillon and Josset, and by Madlie. Lagier. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. CAMBRIDON.—GONYILLI AND CAIUS COLLEGIL—We un derstand that it is intended to celebratethe 500th on of the foundation of this college by a grand festival on the nary inst. This college, originally styled Gonville Hall, was founded in 1347-8, by Edmund Oonsille, son of Sir Nicholas Gonsille, rector of Terrington, Norfolk, and endowed for e: muter and three fellows. He gave statteds, which are sti ll 'd . h.twesa Fres School-lane and the churchyard of St. Botolph's. Thwuarde of the college and its situation were both changed by William Bateman, bishop of Norwich, executor to Oonille, and in 1653 he eseablished the college where the donville court now stands, and altered the name to the " Hall of the Annunciation of Blamed Mary the Virgin." In 1667 John Cebu. , M.D. , ob tained the royal charter, in accordance with which it was thenceforward called Gonville and Caius College. Quagga' COLLEGIL—On the authority of "Coopers' Annals of Cambridge," it would seem that the present year oomplates the fourth centenary of the f oundation of this col lege by Margaret of Anjou ; but the " Cambridge Calendar" dates the foundation 1446.

Before Mr. Commiosioner Shepherd. IN nr. DREW. -SIX TINEE BANKRUPT.— For this bank rupt, who wan a licensed victualler, application was made for further protection, the certificate having been suspended on a former occasion —Mr. Duncan opposed the application on the grounds that the applicant had been six times bank rupt within eleven years, and, except upon one occasion, had never paid a farthing in the pound. The toatute expressly provided that no certificate after a second bankruptcy should be any protection to future acquired property, unseen 15s. in the pound shall have been paid. A certificate having been refused, the court had no power to grant protection, which, in feet, the learned counsel contended the bankrupt would as willingly have as the certificate ; the point of his prayer being, in fact, first, that the court should stultify the statute; and, secondly; to stultify its own decision.—The learned Commissioner determined to grant no protection whatever. He had already decided the point, and would not reconsider it—Frotection refused accordingly. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. Before D. C. I'dnylan, FOAKESV. MITCHENSOIT.—RECOTEIONG A LOST BANK NOTE.—This was an action of troves' to recover of the de fendant, a licensed victu:iller, a 101. note lost by the plaintiff. —lt appeared from the case on the part of the plaintiff, that in the month of September last he was attending a sale by auction, and had in his possession a 101. note During the sale he had occasion to put his hand into his pocket, and in withdrawing it the note Tell upon the ground, the plaintiff not noticing it. On leaving the auction-room plaintiff missed the note, and on making inquiries ascertained that a mm acting as a porter at the auction was seen to pick up a ph co of paper. He lost no time in giving information to the police of his loss, and also at the Bank. Ultimately the note found its way to the Bank, and on being traced. back, was found to have been paid into the firm of Mears Seeger and Evans, the distillers. On reference to the pars.books of the latter firm, Mr. Flowers, one of the collectors, proved reviv ing the note from Mr. Mitchenson, whose name was written across it. In order to make the defendant respon.ible, so he could not say from whom he received the note, a police-constable was called, and he swore that he called upon the defendant on the 29th of September, and gave him notice of the loss of a 101. note ; that he called again on the 4th of October and gave the number of the missing note, when the defendant said he had not heard anything of it.— Mr. Robeson, who appeared for the defendant, submitted that the notice was not sufficient —The learned Judge thought it was quite sufficient, and that now it was the de• fendant's duty to show in what manner he became possessed of the note. If he showed that he had posses , ion of it before be bad notice of the loss of it on the 4th of October, and that it came into his possession in the regular course of business, that would be a sufficient answer to the plaintiff's case.—Mr. Mitchensoti swore distinctly that he never took a 101. note after he remind notice without putting his initials on it. It was impossible for him to say from whom he received the note in question.—The learned Judge &aid he was of opi nion that there was a great want of caution on the part of the defendant in not taking the name of the person from whom he had received the note, and therefore he most make an award in favour of the plaintiff'. SURREY SESSIONS. RATING THE RItIOFITON RAILWAY COMPANY.—Ap. 1 PEALS: LONDON, BRIO/470N, AND SOUTH COMM RAIL WAY CONIPANT V. THE POOR RATES OF CHOTDON AND COULSON.—These were a series of appeals made by the above company against the assessment of the poor rates in Croydon and Coulson, wherein they have extensive works. Some of the rates were assessed in 1845, others in 1846 and 1847. The company objected on the grounds that they were excessive and not levied according to the value of the property. They have been respited from the previous Suarter sessions under an arrangement that if they were not litigated at the prevent sessions they should be 'truck out, with costs.—Mr. Clark, on the part of the respondents, applied to the court for spe cial costs. His clients were quite ready, and be now under stood that the appellants did not intend to litigate. They had been put to an enormous expense in bringing evidence to prove that the w ould grant them costs on that o assessmentir u est ; therefore he hoped court the ccasion.— Mr. Wallinger, on behalf of e appellants, said that he had received no intimation from the company respecting the costs, but he begged to call to the attention of the bench that they had no power to gnat more than nominal costsin such eases. Puckle (thaehairman) observed that they had power to grant Freest costs in such ores.—The amount of the costa being being stated to be 2161., the Chairman said it eras a large gum, aad before he made the order he ebould require the deputy clerk of the peace , Mr. Onsloer, to examine the documents. - eertoshle he m Roberts might and the prisoner e assault upon her if the chose.

On the previous day she went with her daughter to the prisoner to ask him for pecuniary assistance, when he commenced a violent attack upm her, dragged her into the street, struck her a desperate blow en the face which broke her jaw bone, knocked her down and kicked her until she lay insensible, arid he would have killed her bad it not been for the interference and assistance of her daughter and some parengers.—The daughter gave confirmntory evidenee.—The prisoner, in his defence, denied the assault, saying the complainant fell down and injured herself, and it served her right, as she was drunk at the time.--He was fined 51., or two months' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE.-11.0B3ERIMB AT LODOING-110178EN.— Isabella Davidson was re-examined, charged with various robberies. The evidence gone into upon the former occasion was to the effect that in the early part of last November the prisoner, representing that she was a married woman, and that her husband was at Bath upon important business, took a ready furnished room at Mr King's coffee-house,Seymour street, Euston-equare ; she remained there until the 10th ult., when she went out early and did not return. Shorty after her departure a gold watch, a geld Otani, and a large quantity of silk and other articles w d fireweed to have been stolen. The prisoner was traced, and given into the moody of Sergeant Lennard, 2.5 8, who produced a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates, found by him at a house in Lambeth, and it was clearly shown that they had been left there by the prisoner—The pawnbrokers now brought for ward many articles to which the said duplicates referred, and they were identified by Mrs. King as forming a portion of her lose. Another charge was preferred by Mrs. Edwards, Queen-square, Holborn, from whose evi dence it appeared that she was robbed of a table-cloth by the prisoner, who, on the 9th of November, absconded from an apartment which she had occupied at her residence, leaving two weeks' rent due.—Mr. Kendrick, 214, Totten hamenurt-road, said that the prisoner had worked at his establishment in the millinery department for four months, and that she had obtained from Mrs. Kendrick several pairs of stays, her alleged object being that of showing them to some friends, who would most likely be purchasers; she made excuses from time to time for not returning them, and after she bad left, without any intimation of her intention to do so, it was ascertained that she had pawned them. The stays were produced and identified. Upon the first two charges the prisoner, who had nothing to say, was fully com mitted for trial. WESTMINSTER.—BUROLART.—J. Wood was charged with burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mrs. Emily Lewis, 27, Geese snor-place, and stealing six 5/. notes, a quantity of valuable jewellery, and other articles. On Sunday evening Mrs. Lewis went out, leaving the house in charge of Minna' Kelly, her servant. Shortly utter the lady had left the street-door bell was rung, and on the girl answering it she found a man on the steps having the appearance of a cabman, who said that he had been sent from Lowndes-square to tell her that her mistress had been suddenly taken ill and was in fits, and that she (the servant) was to go to her immediately. The girl hesitated, hut he urged her to burry down and put her bonnet and shawl on, whilst he waited for her. The girl went down stairs, and during her absence the man made a great noise by stamping his feet on the door-steps, and she thought she heard the sound of footsteps in the passage. She then left the house with the man, closing the door after ker. The man walked at a great pace for some time, end afterwards walked very slow, and she found, that without her having observed it, he hsd taken her out of the direction of Lowndes equare ; he then pretended he was out of breath, and de sired her to stop, and he crowed the road. She followed, hut he started off at such speed thst he was soon out of sight. She communicated what had occurred to Carmoody, 148 B, and he accompanied her to her mistress's house, when they found that a Mr. Delsare, who had been staying there on a visit, and who had for some minutes been ineffectually en deavouring to get in with the latchkey, had, after ringing I times, been knocked down by the prison, r, who rushed out of the house. Mr. Delsarc jumped up and seized the man, but had no idea that he was a thief until he saw him drop a valuable breast-pin, which had been in Mr. Deleart's carpet-bag in the house. The prisoner in his struggle to get away dropped some papers and the gentle mar's pocket-book, which contained five 51. notes, some jewellery, and various coins. A travelling bag was found in the house cut open, and a dove , composed of brillianta. Some sovereigns, coins, and other articles were missing.—Prisoner, who made no defence, was remanded for a week. CHARITY. —The magistrate acknowledged the annual donation of 101. from the Mercers' Company for the poor-box. THAMES.—THReATENINO TO NUROF.R A WIFE. W. Sheridan, a cowkeeper, was charged with threatening to murder Lis wife.—The complainant stated that, on Monday last, her husband mislaid his gloves, and he accused her of concealing them, and said he would break everything in the house. She searched in all directions for them, but her husband would not be pacified, and, after striking her in the hack, kicking her out of doors several times, and otherwise ill-using her, he threatened to murder her. She then ,ought refuge in the house of her sister, by whose advice she pur chased a new pair of gloves for her husband, who went to a ball with a female relative, who was s fa nd , formerly his house keeper, and her brother, and did not return till a late hour, when he commenced ill-using her again, and made use of the most dreadful threats towards her. On Tuesday night her husband went out with his cousin, and did not return till three o'clock the next morning. A few minutes after he bad cot into bed his cousin entered, and exclaimed, with an oath, "Are ynu there with her ? I'll be the death of her." The woman laid hold of her night cap, and, after tearing it off, seized her by the hair of the head, which she tore out by the roots, and beat and scratched her in a moot savage manner, without any interference on the part of her husband. The cousin then seized a chair, and was about to strike her with it, when she was prevented by the entrance of her (the cousin's) sister, and was with diffi culty removed from the room. In the morning, when she arose, her husband again kicked and beat her, and threat ened that he would murder her on his return. She was so tertified by his threats, and had endured so much ill wage from him, that she took the opportunity of his absence a few hours afterwards to leave home, and had since been living with her sister. Iler husband had frequently held knives to her throat, and horsewhipped her in bed. She at her marriage had brought her husband a large part of what he missea.sed.—The sister of the complainant stated that Mrs. Sheridan had frequently come to her house for safety, with bruises on her face, and that her per son was now covered with marks and diseolouratione, caused by the defendant's biutal trestment—The de fendant, in reply to the charge, said his wife was jealous of his cousin. He denied, in the most positive man ner, that he had ever ill-used his wife.—Bridget Hall, the amain of the defendant, and sister of the woman who appeared to have made all the strife, said she never saw her cousin raise his hand ti strike his wife, or heard him make use of any threats, but had heard him speak very humbly to her.—Mr. Yardley would advise Sheridan to allow his wife a 'emirate mainte nance.—Mrs. Sheridan said she could not live with him again, and would be satisfied with 55. a week.—Mr. Yardley said that was little enough.—Sheridan said he could not afford so much.—Mr. Yardley said, if the defendant did not pro feria maintain his wife, and the parish officers lodged a complaint against him, he would compel him to support her in a proper manner, or commit him to prison to kccp the peace towards his wife for the next six months.—Mary Hall, the cousin, was neat charged with assaulting Mrs. Sheridan, while she was in her bed on Wednesday morning, and Mr. Yardley fined her 40s , and said the conduct of the defendant and her relative had been most infamous. CHARITY.—Mr. Yardley acknowledged the receipt of the second half of a 51. note, from Messrs. Coils, Masters, and Co., of No. 2.5, Old Band-street. WANDSWORTH.—ROBBEItY ON CLAPHAM•COMMON. —Mary Anr Dawson and Elizabeth Roberta were charged with robbing W. Newman. The prosecutor stated, that on Sunday night about half put eight o'clock, he was crossing Clapham-common, when he met the prisoner Dawson, who threw her arms round his neck, and. Roberta placed her hand near his right-hand breeches pocket. He asked them what they wanted; they said nothing, and walked away, he afterwards missed from his pocket a sovereign and a half in geld, Is. 6d. in silver, and some halfpence. He called " Police," when five or six met, who appeared to be in league with the women, came up, and one of them struck him a blow on the aide, which knocked him down ; he was afraid of remaining any longer, and went home. In answer to a question from the magistrate the prosecutor admitted that in the first instance he had conversed with the wo men and treated them.—Tompkins, 119 V, said he appre hended the prisoners near the Bull, which is a few yards distant from the common. They denied committing any robbery, but upon searching Roberts he found a sovereign, half • sovereign, and a shilling. It was found at the station. house that Roberts had seven cuts on the head. The pri soners denied committing any robbery, and Roberta amused , the prosecutor of giving her the wounds on the head, b y striking her with a heavy stick 'several times.—The prose cutor denied the statement.—Mr. Paynter said that so little was be satisfied with the prosecutor's conduct, that had the case res then his uosupported evidence, be should have dis chargedprisonent but after the evidence given by the TORRID) FSMS CR RAILWAY TItAFTII2 far Übe wseic speettvely Doe. 21 to halls 31.18 , e , 6ii ill. 11341.31.

Consols were still on the advance to-day, and actually done at t 861 for the opening, and 4 less for present transfer, 9 the first quotations of the morning having been 861. a They left off 861 to 1 for the opening. The advance was not the consequence of the operations of parties i who, in the present and the last account, favoured and speculated for the rise, but rather of the purchases made by those who have speculated in this account or carried over from the last at a strong continuation, their speculative sales to the settlement now forth. coming. The differences on most of these " bear " transactions must be considerable, and hence the anxiety of patties so standing exposed to come in and repurchase what they had speculatively sold, even at present large sacrifices. The still greater easiness and abundance of money has perhaps contributed, in a more marked degree, to the increasing elevation of stock. There is no scarcity of money, bat the reverse, in the bank -11 ing and discount market, where indisputable paper may be done probably as low as 4 per cent. But there is little of such paper offering, whilst the corn petitors for it are many. Much distrust of bills t generally still prevails ; therefore, although money is in plenty, accommodation, or credit, is wanting. In the Stock Exchange, on the other hand, money is not only abundant, bat, on customary 'securities may be had on lower terms still than , before, It was offered in large parcels to day, said to be for account of some leading assurance offices, at 3 per cent, without takers to the extent to be found. As much as two or three hundred thousand pounds was said to be thus soliciting custom. The effect is not only to keep up, but to promote higher prices of public securities for a time, for parties will be encouraged to hold when they can obtain loans upon them at 3 per cent., which will return at the rate of 31 per cent. and more annual interest. Reduced Three per Cents, left off 861 to Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., 871 to Long Annuities, 81 to 13-16. Exchequer Bills 20s. to 225. premium. India Bonds, 10s. to 15s. premium. Bank Stock, 190 to '2. India Stock, 233 to 5. Some short time before the hour for closing busi ness the continued rise in Consols directed the atten tion of dealers to foreign stocks, which remained still without alteration from previous prices. A number of bargains were done in consequence, in some instances at higher rates, but generally resulting in firmer prices.

The revenue for the past half year exceeded that of the corresponding period of the preceding year by the sum of 9351. ? notwith standing the great delays and inc mveniences arising from the alteration of the gauge, and other works upon the line. A further increase in the traffic was expected from the line being now in complete working order, and the new junction line at Arbroath ready to be opened in connexion with the continuous through lines to Montrose, Forfar, and Brechin. Since the 31st October last a further increase had taken place in the revenue, amounting to nearly 4001. By the agreement with the Dundee and Perth Company the addi tional capital of 66,6661., created lately, is to be expended in constructing a railway through the town of Dundee, to join the Dundee and Perth at a cemmon terminus; this, it wee stated, could be effected without interfering with any of the great thoroughfares of the town, or cro‘sing a single street on the level. Bills fur this undertaking, ai,d for leasing the line in accordance with the terms of the agreement, will be submitted for the approval of the shareholders, at a meeting to be called fur that purpose. The Scottish Central and Caledonian lines being about to be opened a continuous line of railway communication will be completed from this line to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London. With all these railways in full operation the directors expect that the traffic on this and the local lines of the district cannot fail to be increased to an extent fully equal to the expectations entertained of it —The report was unanimously adopted. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.— CENTRAL STATION.— Dut week the workmen commenced to lay sewers from the site of the central station at Newcastle. The whole of the ground has been cleared, and the work will be proceeded with immediately. The contractors have undertaken the work for 95,0001. NORTH STAPPORDSHIRE.—The works of this system of lines, it is stated, are so far advanced that the section between Stoke-on-Trent and the point of the junction with the London and North-Western is expected to be opened for traffic next month. A further portion, namely, from Stow to Solwich, on the Trent Valley line, will be completed by June next, and the whole system by the end of the autumn. SOUTH DEVON.—Ibe atmospheric lisle of traction is being carried to Newton, where workshops for machinery, storehouses, and other buildings are in course of erection. The works near Plymouth are fast approaching to comple tion. The turnpike road over the Lain, which has been diverted and tarried over the railway—a work of consider able magnitude—is nearly finished, and a great number of men are employed in the erection of the station and the necessary buildings at Lairs, within two miles of Plymouth. The viaducts between this town and Isybridge are being strengthened, to allow the passing over them of locomotive engines; but .e from:lie . itature of the . wo,rlr, some time must t e e t ne e r of a tt e rwly th comm thas ti= 7, distri ct have the ;12; 35 4 I 3lty. • A. par I 7 15 13d 12 ld.
