6. That all the unfortuna to people transported to Africa ahnuld be restored to their country sea to their families. 7. Ia ease of the Queen's aoseptisg these conditions, the British government will use its utmost efforts to procure general adherence to her government. Our correspondent, in his letters to tho 21st, repre sents the Queen as hesitating to accept these condition& And he also represents Count Mello, at the head of the insurgent force south of the Tagus, as about to adrance towards Lisbon on that aide. Some of our cotemporaries, however, state that Mello had reached the left bank of the Tagus, and menaced Lisbon; that the Queen had changed her'' ministry, according to their counsels ; and t.hat the I British marines had landed. Unless this news has been brought direct by despatches to the government, we should say that, considering the dates, this requires confirmation. A report of this nature was current in Paris, but re ferred merely to the occurrences of the 11th and 12th. The Queen had then asked for aid of the' British admiral, and it had been promised for the protection of her Majesty's person. Nay, the admiral promised to land marines to nave the palaces from fire ; in pursuance of which a steamer anchored off the quay near the Necessidades, and the Canopus anchored opposite the War-offise. BERLIN, Arm. 21. Before I resume (as promised in a recent commu nication) the analysis of the memorable debates in the United Diet on the address in reply to the king's veech, I cannot avoid referring to the truly remark able change which has been suddenly effected in the public mind since the publication of the report of the discussion. During two or three dars after the king's speech had been delivered, the public appeared hilt afraid and half unwilling to pronounce an opinion respecting it. Certain Mena of dissatisfaction, it is true, were manifested, but it was quite apparent, even to the casual observer, that the good people of Berlin deemed it prudent to keep their thoughts as much as possible to themselves; or, if they did give utterance to them, to communicate them only to parties with whom they were well acquainted. And now what a change ! In the cafes, in the celebrated Condaoreien and Bieralmben of this capital, in the reading rooms, and more particularly in the admirable Berliner Zei ttings-Halle (the resort of the journalists and literary men of Berlin), opinions on the king's speech and on the various political questions of the day are expressed with a frankness and a warmth that re- mind one of old England. If the United Diet lead to no other result than that of having aroused the public mind, and of having infused into it a' lively sympathy for the p.tlitical and social develop ment of this powerful monarchy, it will have already effected much good. I must hasten, however, to add, that whilst various opinions respecting the king's speech aro openly and fearlessly circulated, all allu sions to his Majesty himself are couched in terms of respectful and even affectionate attachment. To return to the debates, it must be stated that a' remarkable discourse was pronounced by the Baron Von Vinare. He objected to the address, as drawn up by the committee, and to the amendment, or ra ther to the alterations proposed by Count Von Arnim, principally on the ground that his Majesty required no answer by mere words, but by deeds. It would be useless (he said) to refer to the example of con stitutional countries in that respect, for Prussia was not a constitutional kingdom. In the former there existed a responsible ministry, who would be main tained in power by a favourable address, and ejected by an adverse one. The speaker then proceeded to point out several omissions in the patent of February 3rd, with reference to the provisions of former laws, and denied that the convocation of the diet, in times of war, is order to vote supplies, would be a matter of great difficulty ; " but," added the Baron, " if it be really impossible in war time to as semble the diet, another expedient may be devised, as is the custom in that fortunate country whose system of government is the result of centuries of experience and of =paralleled hereditary wisdom (eine Er-bevel:ha ohnegkiehen). There the ministers do not fear, under such imperious circumstances, to risk their heeds for the safety of their country, and, subse quently, to apply to the representatives of the people for a bill of indemnity, which would not be withheld. That is the legal way of proceeding. Such an excep tion must be made only under circumstances of the most stringent necessity, and mast not be made a rule." The speaker was proceeding to argue against the presentation of any address whatever to the King, when he was interrupted by the marshal, who In formed him that the diet bad already resolved to present one, and that it could not revoke that decision. After considerable discussion between the speaker and the marshal of the diet, the former resumed his seat. The royal commissioner of the diet remarked he had often heard his Majesty state that he would as semble the diet incase of war. With respect to the last speaker's observations regarding the heads of mi nisters, he (the commissioner) could not state that the members of the government were not disposed to adopt the plan set forth in the baron's speech ; for it was not they, but the supreme head of the state, who con tracted national debts. That made all the difference. Herr Mewieeen, after denying that the patent of Feb. 3, conferred on the diet greater powers, with re spect to taxation, than had been promised by former laws, and after quoting certain facts in proof of his assertion, remarked that the diet had a noble mission to fulfil—that of restoring the troubled harmony be tween prince and people. Herr Milde descanted on the disadvantages of no minating a lesser out of a greater body, and of making over to the former all the powers of the latter, as pro vided by a portion of the royal patent of February 3. Whea he first read that patent, he asked himself whether it was a law which would give general satisfaction to the people, and he was compelled to answer " no." He concluded by opposing Count Von Arnim's amendment. The Prince Von Wied suggested that it would be advisable to insert in the address a paragraph, humbly begging his Majesty to take into consideration the possibility of assembling the diet periodically. Herr Conze next rose, and was proceeding to read a long . speech in favour of the amendment, when he was interrupted by criessf "No reading." The mar shal of the diet observed (somewhat uneeremon;ously), that if the hoe. member could not deliver his discourse without reading it, the beat thing he could do was to remain silent. The hon. member immediately sat down, amidst much laughter. Herr Naumann maintained that all the promises set forth in former laws bad been fulfilled in the patent of the 3d February, and that, although the diet had been divided into three parts, each of those sub-divisions partook of the nature of an imperial assembly, inasmuch as it emanated from the provincial states. The hon. member concluded a long speech (in which he endeavoured to meet all the objections raised against the patent) by declaring his intention to vote for the amendment. H.R.H. the Prince of Prussia.—We have heard that it has been said that the ordonnanoes [of February 3) proceeded from the distrust en tertained by the king's council. By virtue of my birth, I am the first subject of the king, and by virtue of the royal confidence, his first councillor. As such I solemnly declare, in my own name and in that of the other members of the council [here all the members of the government rose from their natal, that no distrust insinuated itself into the breast of any one of us, when we were dis cussing those ordonnances. But there was one prin ciple that we did enforce, viz., that the rights and liberties of the states should not be guaranteed by those ordonnances at the expense of the liberties and rights of the crown. It was in accordance with that pnnciple that I took part in the work in question, and I cannot suffer the reproach to pass unnoticed that distrust existed on the part of the crown or the cabinet The debate was brought to a close by the rejection of the amendment of Count Von Arnim, and the adoption, by a majority of 3 - ‘7, of the address of the committee, with some unimportant alterations is certain parts, as proposed by Herr Auerswald. It may be added, that the two extreme parties (it is difficult to give them characteristic names at present —but perhaps the " ultra-loyalists" and the " ultra liberals" will do) were equally defeated. Some disturbances of rather a serious nature took place this morning in the markets in this city, in consequence of the exorbitant price asked for potatoes. According to the Allgemei e Preussisclie Zeitimg of this evening, large quantities of corn (purchased by government) win shortly arrive in this city. P.S. The disturbances were renewed this evening, and at the time I write this postscript, 9 p.m., there are large crowds assembled in one of the leading squares.

SHANSPEARE SOCIETY.—The sixth annual meeting of the members of this society, established for the printing and distribution of works illustrative of Shabpeare and his contemporaries, was held yesterd ty at the rooms of the Royal Society of Literature, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar square. Mr. J. Payne Collier presided. The council, in their report, stated that if the growth of the society during the past year had not been so rapid as formerly, it had arisen out of the council's desire to give to the subscribers the utmost that could be expected for the annual payment. It had been originally intended that the latest work of the last year should have been the first of the present ; but, on consideration, it was held that the state of the funds would allow the issue of another volume for the subscription of 1816 ; and in consequence the issue of the first book for 1847 was unavoidsbly delayed. It would, however, be found that, at the close of the year, the number of publications had not been diminished. They had last year reported the fact, that the Duke of Devoiekire had placed at the di.posal of the society a series of valuable sketches by Inigo Jones, il lustrating the court entertainments of James I. and Charles 1., from which fae-similes had lately been taken, and the letter press work confided to the members of the council, Mr. Peter Cunningham furnishing a memoir of the artist from new and original sources. Mr. Planchd had undertaken the costume department, and Mr. Collier had promised a court drama of the time, to which some of the drawings apply, from theorieinal manuscript; besides superintending tkrough the press the two masques of Ben Jonson in his own hand writing, preserved in the Bri ish Museum. The council honed that the work would be included in the subscription of the current year. The receipts of the society teethe past year amounted to 6931. 16s. ad., and the payments to 4411. 165., thus leaving a balance of 2521. ISs. 2d. The report was adopted, and was followed by the election of six new mem bers to the council. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—ID consequence of the recent inquire into the management of the above hospital, H.R.H. toe basks of Cambridge visited the establishment yesterday, and inspected the various departments.

The deceased worked with his father, at Bulfield's Papier Machil Works, Wellingtonetreet North, &rand, and on the afternoon of the 13th inst., while alone in the room in which he was em ployed, he imprudently began playing with some steam ma chinery, by thrusting hisnght hand between two iron rollers revolving at full speed, grinding paper to a pulp, and before he could withdraw it, the rollers had drawn his arm in as far ea the shoulder. His screams brought assistance, and the engine was instantly stopped ; but the machinery bad to be taken to pieces before It could be extricated, when it was shockingly mutilated. He was removed to King's Collage Hospital, where, subseqw.ntly his arm was amputated, aiid he died on Friday last from the effects of the injury. Verdict, "Acci dental death.". — A NEWLT-BORN CHILD DISCOVERED IN HAT.—By Mr. Higgs, oa Saturday, at Edmonton, on the body of a new born female child. It appeared from the evidence that on Tuesday last, John Raynham, a carter in the employ of Mr. Burnett, of East-pole Farm, Edmonton, purchased a load of dung in Milton-yard, Cloudesley.terrace, lalington,which be threw up into his cart, and on his return home be shot the contests into one of his master's meadows, where it re mained until Thursday afternoon, when on one of the ferns labourers turning the heap over, he discovered in the miidle the body of a full-grown female child, fresh end recently born. The police were made acquainted with the circum stances, and the body was examined by Mr. Hammond, surgeon, but that gentleman could give no decided opinion as to the precise cause of death. The jury re.tarned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. PROVINCIAL. ROBRERY 01/ • TARO' Som.—Yesterday, • lad named Robert Drniy, about fourteen years of age, was committed for trial, from the Liverpool Taffies, court, charged with stealing 1,2501. the monies of his employer.

ESSEX. ANOTHER CASE OP ATTEMPTED POISONING was brought before the magistrates at Newport on Monday.

Beth mother and child lay under a hedge insensible all night, but being found in the morning, medical aid was rendered, and neither died. The mother will, it is under stood, be committed for trial for the attempt to murder. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND MURDER.—An old man named Terry was stopped a few nights since in a bye lane between Rochford and Canewdon, and so severely beaten about the head by a footpad, that he has since died. The robber took the old man's watch and four shillings and sixpence, but has been apprehended, and is now in Chelmsford gaol awaiting his trial. PHILHARMONIC SociEry.—The fourth Philhar atonic Concert, last evening, was probably one of the most strocessful and brilliant that have ever been given by the society. Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured it with their presence, and the room was filled to overflowing. tt bt drama. PKINCESS'S.—Mrs. Butler, who some fifteen years ago as Mies Fanny Kemble, was the idol of London audiences, reappeared at this theatre last night. The character which she selected was that of Julia in Knowles's play of " The Hunchback." In two respects the peformanoe was worthy of the great actors with whom Mrs. Butler claims kindred :—in the exquisite finish of the details, and the chaste energy of the more impassioned phases of the character. The scene in the last act—when Julia recounts all her wrongs to Master Walter ' foretells all the con sequences of the marriage which she loathes, and calls on him not to leave it to her to free herself— produced a powerful impression on the audience. The torrent of declamation gashed from her lips with a volu. bility rapid, yet Amway distinct ; it was aided by an eye full of desperate meaning; gestures concentrated as those of • body seeking relief from pan; and yet there was no want of moderation, no approximation to that vehemence which sometimes lewen an outraged heroine into a scold— lees telling with the audience in general, but equally appre ciated. We venture to think, that those whose approbation wee most pleasing to the actress, were won by the in which Julia signs her seemnt te wed the Bar The clinging of her Amen is the pysy " it wet withdrawn from bee, ens -E—euirkikebed arms could no longer enable this M scan It, wes a seek touching and natural indiestion of the Mlllll.lll straggle that was going on.

She was welcomed with the heartiest greetings. At times during the progress of the piece it could have been wished that applause had been more liberally bestowed ; at the close, however, the plaudits were enthusiastic, long-continued, and, we rejoice to say, van chequered by flights or nosegays. Mr. ere:swim's played the part of Master Walter with much feeling, but also with a slight tendency to the melo dramatic style. Mrs. Stirling makes a charming Ilelen, and extracted a wonderful deal of amusement out of cousin Modem, whose peculiarities were well rendered by Mr. Coin ton . Mr. J.

WIMBORNE SCHOOL —JEWS DICTION OP ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS oval Pao- PERM' BELONGING TO WIMBOUNI SCHOOL. APPLICABLE TO CHURCH PURPOSES.—In this case there had been a re ference to the master to approve of a scheme for the appro priation of the funds belonging to the Wimbome grammar- Khoo), part of which were, under the original foundation, applicable for the cure of souls in Wimborne parish. The ecclesiastical commissioners, who were not parties to the suit, presented a petition for liberty to go before the master to as certain what portion of the funds were so applicable : end they claimed a right to do so at the cost of the charity, under the set 3 and 4 Vict., c. 113. This was resisted by the At torney. General. The petition was heard daring the sittings before Easter ; and the Master of the Rolls now gave judg ment upon it. He observed, that the ecclesiastical com missioners bad doubtless very important political and eccle siastical duties to perform ; but in the present case they had not vested in them any such trust as could be ri cognised by this court. It was very desirable that the attorney-general should have their assistance ; but if they granted It, they must not burden the charity with their expenses. If they thought tit, they might accept the offer that bad been made to them and come in before the master, paying their own ex penses. If they refused such offer, the petition must be dis =lased, with coats. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. WOOLltEkt V. TOBT.—LIABILITY TO PAT DIPOBITS or ALLOTIZIA OF SHARE IN DEFUNCT UNDERTAKINGS. — The defendant had applied to the provisional committee of management of the Direct Exeter, Plymouth, and Devon port Railway Company, for shares in that undertaking. The committee allotted forty shares to him ; but the project failed, and was ultimately abandoned. The plaintiffs, who composed the committee of management, then sued the de fendant for the deposit, which in his application he bud under taken to pay in the event of allotment, their object being to re cover his proportion of the expenses. The trial took place at Exeter in the month of March, 1846, and a verdict was given in favour of the plaintiffs, with damages 1051. Subsequently, and in pursuance of leave granted, a rule nisi for a nonsuit was obtained upon the following grounds :—First, that the committee of management could not sue because the con tract had been made with them on behalf of the provisional committee generally, which latter only was entitled to see. Secondly, that the parties to the undertaking at the time of the defendant's offer to take shares were not the same per sons as those at the time the allotment of shams was made ; for that the defendant had offered to take shores from one set of provisional directors, whilst the allotment took place when there was another set of persons invested with the management. Thirdly, that they had allotted but 36,009 shares, whereas, by the prospectus it sees stipulated that their capital was to be raised by the issue of 40,600 shares, and the defendant's offer was to take 50 shares out of the 40,000 to be created. Fourthly, that in point of fact the scheme bad been abandoned, and that without going before parliament. Fifthly, there was a variance be tween the oontrect as stated, and the contract really proved. The actual consideration was, that there should be 40,000 shares issued, and that the company should go to parliament for their bill. This should have been alleged in the declara tion, and the contract set out correctly. Further, the decla ration set out an absolute promise to pay on December 20, whereas the application was in these terms "That the de. (student would accept a certain number of shares, and would pay the deposit on them when required so to do," which meant that he should be revered so to do within a reasona ble time. Sixthly, admitting that the plaintiffs bad a title to recover anything at all, the verdict was excessive, being for the whole deposit, 1051., whereas the plaintiffs' estimate of damage was only to the extent of 61., namely, 3s. per share. Seventhly, the learned judge misdirected the jury upon the only question left to them. October 13th was the day of application for shares the allotment did not take place till December 16 following. Upon October 13, there had been a resolution come to, by which the directors were to be at liberty to absorb all the shares themselves. On December 1, in consequence of some alarm or panic, a resolution was passed not to incur farther expense in the engineering department of the undertaking ; but, on the 15th of December they allotted the shares. On the 17th they proceeded to take the opinion of counsel as to the liability of the allottees. The learned judge (Mr. Baron Rolfe) had told the jury that he did not see that two months was an unreasonable time to occupy in allotting 40,000 shares. But the question he should have submitted was, whether, under all the circumstances of the project, it was proper and reasonable to have allotted all the shares on the 15th of December. If, however, the direction was right, then the facts showed that the verdict was not supported by the evidence; and if so, there ought to be a new trial. The rule also called on the plaintiffs to show cause why the judg ment should not be arrested, upon the ground that the de claration contained no averment that the provisional direc tors had allotted the 40,000 shares. Mr Crowder, Q.C., and Mr. Greenwood now showed mute and contended, first, that as the defendant had contracted with the committee of management, it was not competent to him to object that others and not they ought to sue him ; secondly, that the allotment of 40,000 shares was no part of the con sideration, and that If it had been, an allotment of 36,000 shares out of 40,000 was a sufficient performance ; thirdly, that the several questions sugted by the alleged failure of consideration did not arise , beca use the liability of the de fendant was for a breach of contract, effected by non-per formance of his promise before or on the 20th of December, and therefore unaffected by any subsequent occurrences ,• fourthly, that the variance between the contract stated and that proved was not material ; fifthly, that the defendant ought not to be permitted to avail himself of the omission to do acts which could not be done without the payment of ' funds, to the withholding of which he was a patty; sixthly, that prima facie the damages were the sum which ought to have been paid; seventhly, that there had been no mis direction in fact, because the learned judge had not pro nounced any opinion as to what was in kw a reasonable time for allotting shame, and as the question was entirely one for the jury, the verdict could not be held to be against the evidence ; finally, they contended that judgment ought net to be arrested, because as the allotment of 40,000 shares was not a condition precedent of the 'defendant's duty to perform his promise, it need not be averred.—Mr. Serpent Kinglike and Mr. Montague Smith were heard in support of the rule.—The court postponed its decision. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings In Banco. SWIM e. 13 rm.—LIABILITY or RAILWAY CO/MIAO- ToBB.—Thia was an action brought against the ccntractor of the Chester and Holyhead Railway to recover compensa tion for damaging the plaintiff's lands by so constructing certain embankment, that a number of drains became choked, and several acm of oats and turnips overdooded and rendered worthlue. At the trial, borers Mr. Justice Colima, at the late mixes for Flintsbire, it was contended that the company, who were rendered responaible by the special act incorporating them, and by the other acts regu lating railways, should have been sued, and that the defen dant was entitled to a nonsuit. A verdict having been taken for the plaintiff for 701.—Mr. Yardley moved yester day, by leave of the learned judge, for a rule, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, but, the court thought the ver dict ought not to be disturbed, and refused the rule. W•KLET, M.P., r. COOKE AND HEALEY.—LIDEL.— This was an action brought by the Coroner of Middlesex for a libel published in The Medical Times, a weekly publics ' non, of which the defendanm are the registered proprietors. It appeared an action similar to the present was brought in 18 td by the plaintiff, who recovered a verdict against the detenflanW for 1601. damages. The libel which formed the subject of this actioa arose out of thahrial and consisted of certain editorial articlea and comments reflecting upon Mr. Wakley's character. The Lord Chit f Baron, before whom I the ease was tried during the last Middlcsax tatting', left it to the jury to say . whether the articles complaimed of did not exceed the fair limits of criticism. The jury having found a verdict for the plaintiff with 1761. damages. —Mr. Cockburn, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Lush) moved yesterday for a rule calling on the plaintif f to show MUNI why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, upon the groom' of misdirection. The libel contained an allusion to a transaction betwesn Mr. Wakley and an insurance company ; but the terms used were such, that it was difficult for any one oat aware of the eircum• stances connected with that affair to comprehend. The plaintiff did not by inuendo put a meaning upon it, nor did he rely at the trial on this particular passage in the libellous article , as a ground of damages. The misdirection complained of was, that the Lord Chief Baron told the jury it was highly improper in the defendants to refer to that which was a matter of history, end which all understood ; and it wan submitted that his lordship's observation had had the effect of increasing the damages.—A rule to show cause was COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mors Mr. Commieshoer Shepherd. Toe TitiYo, READING, AND BASINGSTOKr. RAILWAY COMPANY.—In this case, which has been frequently before the public, the court was called upon to give judgment with respect to certain charges in the proof tendered by • traffic taker, and the question raised was, as to whether he was entitled to three guineas a-day for making up the traffic table., eic., and furnishing and preparing his report, it being admitted that he was to receive that sum for taking traffic. Mr. Law rence, for the creditors, now referred to the case of a commis sioner going into the country, which was often the case, to make a report to the Home-office (as we understood), and there he was allowed five guineas a-day, but not whilst pre paring the report. Whatever decision kis Honour might give, he (Mr. Lowrance) would bow to, but he thought that the proof ought not to be admitted for the full amount. Mr. Commissioner Shepherd expressed his opinion that the proof should be admitted for the full amount claimed, allowing three guineas a-day for the traffic taking, and the time occu pied in preparing the report —Proof admitted for the full amount. POLICE.-v - ESTERDAY. MANSION HOUSE.—THE Setup Funozsues.— West and Fartnery were again brought up for examination, upon the charges of having uttered a quantity of forged scrip, pur porting to be the scrip of the London and South Western Railwayeompany.—Mr. W. Woadrow,assis'at at the Moor gate post-office, said, that to the best of his belief West called three times et the office for letters directed to Perry, which letters were handed to the party who so called.—Mr. C. Rogers, cashier in the banking house of Sir Charles Price, Marryatt, and Co., said : In the afternoon of the 11th of March a person called at our banking-house, in King Wil liam-street, having the appearance of a servant in undress livery, and presented a cheque of Messrs. Stevens, Hansard, and Co., fur 2.591. 7s. 6.1., to be cashed. I paid the cheque in a 2001., a 601, a 401., and a 61. Bank of England notes, and 41.7 x. 6d. in gold and silver, making together 2991.75. 6d., thereby inadvertently giving 401. too much. On the making up of the books in the evening the error was discovered, and on the morning of the 12th of March I called at Messrs. St evenss offiec and informed Mr. Stevens of the over-payment, and asked him for the address of Mr. Craven, to whom the cheque was payable. Mr. Stevens showed MC & letter signed J. L Craven, headed with the address of" 11, Portland place." I consequently sent my brother, who is also a clerk at Price's bank, to Portland-place. to see Mr. Craven, and represent the circumstance. My . brother having learned that no such person resided there, immediate application was made at the Bank of England to stop the notes ; but they had been all changed. The name and address written on the back of the 2001. note and the 601. note by the party who had exchanged them, was " Thomas Wadson, Sheffield, Brett's Hotel, Holborn." The prisoner got in exchange for these, among others, five 101. notes and the seven 61. notes, payment of which was stopped by my brother. On Saturday, the 13th March, twoof the lanotes were presented at the Bank by • Mr. Hartley,. a tailor, of Pearson-street, Kingsland-road, who was thereupon detained until I was sent for, and who told me that he bad received them in payment of a tailor's bill from a Mr. West, a stockbroker, of Copthall-court. I went with Hart ley to Mr. West, who, upon being asked from whom he received the notes, mentioned two or three houses, and seemed somewhat confused. I then ex plained the fact of the overpayment of the cheque, when West at once said that rather than bring any body into trouble he would pay the 401. himself, and, at the same time, produced his pocket-book with the intention, as it appeared to me, of handing over other notes which he had in it, but he ahruptly checked hiratelf, and said, " If you I will come over to my lodgings, I will give you the money." On going clown Mooreate-street, West turned into a passage, and stopping me handed over to me two 101. notes, which he said, with the two 101. notes stopped, would make up the 401. We then parted. On the Tuesday following, a letter was addressed to Messrs. Price and Co., signed "J. L. Craven," enclosing seven 61. notes. being the identical 61. notes stopped by my brother, and 61. in gold, of which letter the following is a copy : Portland-place, March , IS, 11147.—Cleastlemen,—My servant on re- ceiving cash for Messrs. Stevens and Co.'s cheque, es Thursday, was paid 40/. over its proper amount, which, at the ti me,; he was induced to appropriate, but to mature redectioa he handed the amount over to me exprewing his regret that he should for a moment have swerved Irons taepoth of rectitude: under the. circumstances, and considering that he was esposed tea temptation that few in his situation could re,ist, I trust that you will be content with the restoration of the money.—Signed, J. L Cason.. A day or two after the receipt of this letter I sent to Mr. West'. office and requested to see him, and the prisoner Farmery came and informed me that Mr. West was out of own. Having seen Farmery at West's office, I told him about the non-payment of the cheque, and that West had afterwards settled the matter with me, and that I had sub sequently received 401., and I showed him the letter received by Messrs. Price and Co., signed "J. L. Craven." Fsrmery then said he had sold fifty shaves to some person in the street whom he did not know, and he could not say when. He also stated that the five 101. notes (alluding to the 101. notes traced to West), had been received by him (Farmery), from some person he did not know, and that he had afterwards lent these notes to West. On the 27th of March, West called at Mews. Price and Co.'s, and I showed him the letter signed " Craven," and informed him of the receipt of the 401. in closed in that letter. I asked him whether he knew Mr. Craven, and he mid be did not. I then told West that I did not think I could with propriety return him the 401., as we wanted to Rod out who Mr. Craven was. Ile came again with Farmery. Farmer"' was very ahusise, and I did not then pay them the 401. but subsequently handed it over to West —Mr. Cobb, 2, Copthall buildings, sharebroker, stated that be was well acquainted with the character and manner of handwriting of West ; that the letter signed J. Perry, and addressed to Menus. Price and Brown, the letters addressed to Mr. Knowles, and the letter signed J. L. Craven, addressed to Messrs. Stevens, Huard, and Co., were in West's handwriting.—Mr. Clark son then said he should call evidence in a new ease against the prisoner West.—Mr. J. T. Berk,lev, of the Stock Ex change, London, said, that on the 22nd of March a corre spondence was opened with him by a party signing himself J. Perry, 124, Moor-street, Birmingham. From this person he first received twenty South-Western railway shares, which he was commissioned to well ; when he had done so, and transmitted the money, he received, in two parcels of forty shares each, eighty shares in the same ra lefty, which were likewise sold, the mosey being transmitted, and vc knowle!lgment thereof received. The 801 scrip which he had sold to Menu. Stevens and Pittman had since been returned to him as forged. The twenty scrip first received by I have not been returned, but he had seen them in the of Daniel Forrester, the officer—Mr. Alfred Motgan, tree surer to the London and South-Western company, received all the scrip produced, and pronounced it forged.—Mr. Ballantine requested to be informed by his learned friend with what otfeace it was the intention , of the prosecutors to charge his client / He was not aware that scrip was by the statute a security foe the payment of money, and the charge could not, thertfue, extend beyond a misdemeanour, which was a bailable offence. He did not mean at the present moment to ask the Lord Mayor to admit his client to bail, but certainly it was his intention to make such application at the next and final examination, should kin lordship consider that it would be necessary to send the case to another tribunal.—Mr. Clarkson said he certainly should oppose the application of his learned friend to be allowed to pat in bail. He was aware of the differences of opinion which existed with regard to questions of that kind; but the charges against the prisoner were of a very grave nature, and it was not very likely that, under such circuit ;tenses, a magistrate would decide upon taking bail, what ever effect an application of the kind might have before a judge.—The Lord Mayor said it would, perhaps, prevent unnecessary trouble if he were to state that it was his deter mination not to take brain—The prisoners were then ordered to be brought up in a few days for the purpose of being com mitted for trial. WORSHIP•STREET.—AN UNNATITIAL Sex.—Wil liam Leonard was finally examined, ebe.rted with writhing and wounding his mother. Elisabeth Leonard, the pn soviet's sister, stated that her mother and herself endea voured to obtain a subsistence by tailor's slop work. On the evening of Sunday, the 11th instant, while they were seated at tea, the prisoner entered the room in a state of intoxication, and without the slightest provocation soddenly knocked over the table and all the things upon it, which were smashed to pieces. He then caught up a table knife, and, advancing towards bit mother, mado a stab at her, but she fortunately succeeded in warding off the blow; in doing which, two of her fingers were cut to the bone. The prisoner then commenced an unmerciful attack upon witness, and struck her a violent blow on the side of the bead, which felled her to the ground, and without giving her time to rise, commenced beating end kicking her about the body, until she became insensible. Witness hastened out and procured the assistance of a policeman, who took the prisoner into mistody, and her mother was afterwards removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she bad ever since remained. The prisoner's mother, who had only left the hospital that morning, corroborated her daughter's tea simony, but stated that the prisoner had received a wound in the head sonic years since, which, at intervals, affected his intellect —The prisoner was fully committed for trial. M AR LBO RO UOll.B r RE RT.— Daoseinrisine Ann Funtons Darriao.—Fraiscis Skipp, described as t /alit sheet as " gentleman," was charged with having driven two horses in a carriage while he was ki a Malle of drunkenness. and also with having injured and stimierine endangered the lives of two young women mused Fry.— BophiaTry said, about half past nine o'clock on Sunday evening she was about to cross Leicester-square, what she was suddenly knocked down by the hones In a carriage driven by the defendant. The hones were omits aim at tvaerolegn7iliterateemfd and injured by one of the lassiss' hoofs, and her leg severely bruised.—Elisabeth Fry corroho rated this statement.—times Dlmes, a cabman, said he saw a carriage coming along on the wrung side of the road. The defendant, who was driving, was evidently drunk. The defendant drove the carriage against his cab, and did damage to the amount of 30s. The defendant then ran against a lamp-post, and concluded his drunken career by knocking down two females. The horses were galloping furiously at the time.—Police.constable C 50 said when he took the defendant into custody he was evi dently intoxicated.—The defendant's solLitor contended that the whole affair was the result of accident. The de fendant was driving a pair of horses which became un manageable, and that accounted for the mistake of the wit nesses in supposing that be was drunk and driving furiously. William Arnold, a groom, said be was with Mr. Skipp at the time of the occident The horses were only trotting at the time. The d.ffendant had been drinking, but was not SO far gone as to be incapable of driving,—Mr. Bingham inflicted the fines of 101. for the injury on Sophia Fry, and 101. for the injury on Elizabeth Fry. to he awarded to these parties by way of compensation; 40a. for furious driving, 30s for damage to the cab, and 6.. for loss of time to the cabman—in all 231. 16s. The defendant wu at this court • short time ago, and was then fined 40s. for furious driving. THAMES.—Tut: SweLL MOlL—Edward Aikin wu charged by Lieut. Nicholson, of the Royal Engineers. on suspicion of having robbed him of his purse, containing 7 sovereigns, 3 half-crowns, and a few shillings.—The lieu tenant stated that on Saturday night he wu proceeding from Chatham to town in the Satellite steam-boat. At Woolwich his purse was safe. On arriving at the Blackwell pier there was a rush of passengf ra to land. As witness was in the act of turning round, a person, whom he believed to be the pet. caner at the bar, and who had previously been standing behind him, confronted him so that he could not pus between the machinery and the paddle-boxes without brushing by him. On reaching the fore-gangway, witness again felt for his purse, and found it gone, and on looking round could see nothing of the prisoner. He immediately informed onisof the Blackwell railway constables of the occurrence, who told bim he had seen a man answering that description, with a cloak on his arm, pass round the corner of the Brunswick pier. They followed, and found the prisoner in an omnibus He said the cloak was not bin, and the other passengers also disowned it. On the prisoner being searched at the station-house, 6 sovereigns were found on him, which he accounted for in two different ways: first, saying he had earned it as an umbrella-maker; and next, that a young' lady, with whom be was in love, had given it him.—Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner till Monday next. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY EVENING. It is understood that the Bank directors are more liberal in their discounts to-d ty ; a fact which tells plainly of the panic-like influence already so extensively exercised by the rigid course of Bank policy in withholding accom modation. and reducing securities, within the last fort night only. The daily depreciation of all floating pro- perty values throughout the country hal doubtless not been without its weight in leading to this considerate relaxation, temporary as it may be, in tie re-turn of the screw. It may be inferred from it, with s.,ine probability also, that the Onseunt of securities was so lsrgely reduced during the lam week as greatly to relieve the Bank of anxiety on that head, whilst however proportionately adding to the distress of other interests. Whether from this cause, or in the ordinary course of reactions the funds improved shortly li after the commencement of business, and Consols from 8.51 buyers for money, and 86 for time advanced to 861 for money, and 861 for time. These full quotations were not however maintained, and they closed at 851 to 61 money, and 861 to 1 for account. Tke transactions of the day were of an active character, and come heavy purchases made for account, thereLre speculative. Of money tuck dealing there wee little. Reduced Threes were 851 to I.

The reported 'frivol of an agent from Madrid to negoti ite terms of compromise with the bondholders for the admission of their stock to some reduced rate of dividend, or, m variously reported, for the nomination of some party emp veered to negotiate and conclude upon the matter in Madrid with the Finance Minister in person, produced no improvement in the quota tions of the bonds, which, indeed were rather lower—the Fives at 241 to 1 ; the Threes at 35 to 4.
