The authorities and the respectable inhabitants of Vienna will spare no exertions. They reckon upon the general con surreme of all Vienna.—Jousnx TALLINN°, Baron Vox Creartirrtcs, &o.—Vienne, March 14, 1848. 11. His Majesty the Emperor was plemed to grant some petitions laid before him relative to tie exciteents of theyes. terday, in the arm hope, and in full relian m ce, upon assurance' givenbint by the statm, the burghere,and the audi sacs senate, that peace and order should be re-established by them without the further intsrventiou of the military. To-day petitions are again presented, and the same usu. rants reiterated, although the state of things is m re un quiet than yesterday. The stability of the throne would b e. e shaken were his Majesty again to yield to delusive hope The seasonable arrangements which his Majesty is at this moment considering, cannot posribly be matured so long as this excitement lasts, still less can they be brought into ac tion : hence it is the interest of the petitioners to conduct themselves peaceably, and thereby accelerate the period of their being granted. Firmly resolved not to endanger the dignity of his throne, his Majesty has committed the re establishinent and maintenance of peace and order to his Highness Field-Marshal Alfred Count Von Windisehgratx, and to subject to him all c ivil and military authorities, with full powers for the execution of the same. His Majesty ex pect, from the inviolate faith and loyalty of be burghers, that :hey, conjointly with his valiant troops, will aid these endeavours for the restoration of public peace with all their pioNOII.—JONI•NN TALATZLO, Baran VON GZEITIETICZ, &c. —Vienna, March 14,1848. Up to the evening of the 15th Vienna remained tranquil, and the concessions granted by the Emperor seemed to satisfy the people. ']'he burghers and students, however, still retained their arms. Priam Metternich and Archduke Louis of Austria are reported to have passed through Breslau in guise. Some disturbances have taken place at Prague. There is no additional intelligence from Freeburg. In several parts of German Luxembourg the French republican flag has been hoisted, and the authority of the Grand Duke (King of Holland) set ------- It appears by the Cologne Gazette of the 19th, that the recent disturbances in Berlin were of a more seri- 1 oas nature than was at first imagined. In the Brii- i derstrasse the pavement was taken up and tiles were flung down from the roofs of houses on the military. It was reported on the 15th that the citizens would be armed in order to keep order, rice the military, whose late excesses have produced die greatest exaspera tion. fhe inhabitants of the Voigtland, the Whitecha pel of Berlin, are in a state of the greatest excite ment. About 10 p.m. (on the 15th) several collisions took place between the military and the populace, and a considerable number (nicht unbedentende Menge) were killed or wounded ; in fact, some fifty are set down in those categories. Intelligence from Berlin of the 16th inst. states that thirteen persons were killed by the military. Great numbers of the military were seriously . bat not mortally wounded. The deputies of the city have urged the government to provide employment for the operatives, and to grant liberty of the press. They have also recommended the formation of a civic corps for the restoration of public tranquillity. The Silesian Gamete states that the arming of the people Volksteewaffnung) will shortly take place in Prussia. A large quantity of gold passed through Breslau from Warsaw on the 14th, in order, it is said, to be expended in buying up, on the Berlin bourse, the Polish Pfandbriefe, which are now at such a low quotation on the Berlin bourse. Serious riots occurred at Erfurt on the 14th inst. The house of an obnoxious brewer was totally de stroyed, and the houses of other persons were greatly injured or pillaged. The military at last fired on the crowd, and ten persons were killed. Several colli sions with the military took place, and numerous persons were wounded. The Deutsche Allgcmeine Zeitung of Leipsic contained the next day a pro clatnation, recommending the citizens of Erfurt to form " a protection union," in order to maintain tran quillity. As the Schutzvereine will have the appoint megt of their own officers, they may be set dawn as national or civic guards. Some large factories in the Rhenish provinces have ceased working. One at Sterkrade has dismissed 400 men. According to intelligence from Munich up to the 15th inst., that capital is not only tranquil, but its inhabitants seize every occasion to give an enthu siastic reception to their sovereign, now more popular than ever. About 200 individuals, after destroying property belonging to the Prince of Leiningen, entered Buchen (in Baden) on the Bth inst., set fire to one of the public offices, and proceeded to Ernithal , where similar excesses were committed. All the civic authorities of Hanover have resolved to subscribe to the address of more than a thousand of their felloweitiz.ens in favour of the convocation of a German parliament, and of various reforms. Serious disturbances have taken place at Prague. -•- NAPLES, MARCH 4.

As you may imagine, great agitation prevailed here on the arrival of the news from France. The effect of the news on the bourse was immense. The Five per Ceuta. fell from 971 to 88; to-day they are quoted it 92. The Four per Owe. fell tram 93 to Si. They, in 'like manner, have tisen ;our points.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF BUTL—This nobleman died suddenly on Saturday evening last, at his seat, Cardiff Castle, Glamergamphire, in his 56th year. The fatal complaint was • disease of the heart. On the afternoon of Saturday the noble marquis entertained the mayor and council of Cardiff, at dinner. Ks left the table on the cloth being removed, for the pu rpose, it was thought, of writing a !titer, but his continued absence induced the marchionees to proceed to the noble marquis's chamber. Her lady ship called out to him, and receiving no answer she became alarmed, and entered his room, when she found him lying across the bed in a state of insensibility. She immediately summoned the domestics, und dispatched them in quest of medical assistaace, sad Dr. Lewis, who had been dining with his lordship, was orertaken before he reached his home, and returned with all possible despatch. Medical skill was, how ever, quite unavailing, the noble lord being dead. The me lancholy event has produced an unusual degree of gloom throughout the neighbourhood of Cardiff, which tows may .be said to owe its present important and im proving position to the Marquis of Bute. The epacions docks were raised by him at a cost of 400,0001., and various other improvements of the neighbourhood have emanated from his liberality. Lady Adelaide Hastings and a family circle were stsying at Jame at the time of the melancholy oecureence. Lord Stuart. M.P., the noble marquis's only brother left town yesterday evening, on receipt of the melancholy news. The deceased, John Crichton Stuart, 7lnrquie of Bute, Earl of Windsor, Earl of Dumfries. &c., was born Aug.lo. 1793, and eucceeded to the title on the death of his grandfather in 1814. His lordship's father, John, Lord hlounutuart, was eldest son of t a John, first Marquis, but died before his father, in 1794, hay ' ing married in 1792 the ugly daughter and heir of Pa • fittb. Earl of Dumfries, which latter title has since la into the marquisate of Bute. The deceased married — in 1818, Lady Maria North, daughter of the third Earl et Guildford: by this lady, who died in 1841, he had no issue; ' he married, secondly, in 1845, Lad y Sophia Frederks Hastings, sister to the late Marquis of Hastings, and by this lady leavea issue a eon, now Marquis ut Bute, bora six months since. The late marquis was lord-lien. tenant and CUSICHI rotuloruui of Glamorgan county, ! lard lieutenant and heritable coroner of Bute, high steward of Benbary, keeptr of Rolisay . Castle, colo nel of the Glamorganshire militia, and since 1842 high commissioner to the General Aesembly of the church of Scotland. In the affairs of the latter his lordship always took a deep interest. He was patron of ten tieing'. In politic the deceased nobleman was a conservative, but he never took a prominent part in public affairs. The marquis was a munificent supporter of literary, scientific, and educational societies, by all of which his loss will be mull felt. Ile was a governor of King's College, a fellow of the Royal Society, ands a vice.president of the Royal Cambrian Society. The family estates are exceedingly large, and lie in the counties of Bute, Glamorgan, Ayr, Cam. bridge, and Beds. Lutona ct beautiful seat in the Istter county was, it may he rice ed, partially destroyed by fire some time since. ESTIIROSISATIOS OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CAN TERBURT.—An intimation was yesterday conveyed to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral of Canterbury, that the installation and enthronisation of the Most Rev. Dr. Sum• nor, which had been appointed to take place in the course of the present week, must be postponed fur some time. It is usual after the election of an archbishop by the dean and chapter. in compliance with the letter missive whic h accom panies the royal count (Mire, that the election should be confirmed by the usual authorities, and that prior to his en thronization and installation to his new dignity, the arch bishop should do homage to her majesty, a ceremony which was intended to have taken place this day, but which has of course been unavoidably postponed. It may be well to state, that this postponement of the archbishop's nstallaiiin will not interfere with Dr. Hampilen'e consecration appointed to take place on the 26th instant, inasmuch as although the archbishop Ilse not completed all the ceremonies connected with his elevation to the primacy, he is in full possession of all the rights and privileges of his archiepiscopal office. The ceremony of enthronisation, whenever it may take place, will be conducted by the Venerable Dr. Crofts. Archdeacon of Canterbury, the Rev. Dr. Spry, and the Rev. Dr. Rue sell, canons reeidentiary, asaisted by the officers of the cathedral. SOUTII-EASTERN AND CONTINENTAL STEAM PACKET COMPANT.—The half-yearly me,.ting of this com pany was held, yesterday, at the Bridge Home Hotel, London-bridge, James McGregor. EA., in the chair. The report showed that the revenue for the half-year was 14,3761., out of which a sam of 1,1101. was appropriated to the reserve fund. The balance enabled the directors to re commend a dividend of 81. per share, which would lave a sum of 1.531. The chairman read a lett er from the Admi. p y, rmed by showing thecomp the efficient manner in which the service was rfoany's boata.—The reportwasadopted, and the directors were reelected. INQUEST, YESTERDAY.—TWO BODIES POUND IN Tin River.—By Mr. W Carter, at the Grapes, Bother hithe, respecting the death of a man unknown, who WY found dead in the riven—William Banks, a waterman, de posed that on Saturday morning last,whilst rowing a boat off the Horns-stairs, Rotherbithe, he discovered the body of a man Boating up with the tide. He conveyed it ashore. The pockets were searched and found to contain &knife and tobacco pouch, and round his neck was suspended a medal which proved he wu a subscriber to the Shipwrecked Mari ners' Society.—Mr. Gardner, the summoning officer, stated that since the body had been found a handbill was posted, which ,ffered • reward, and fully described the dress ot the deceased, who it appeared belonged to the schooner Patriot, of Weymouth, from which vessel be had fallen on the night of Saturday, Feb. 18. The captain and crew had since gone to sea, but the former had directed Mr. Buries, the printer, of Limehouse, to have the body interred in case it should be found.—The Coroner suggested that as there was no direct evidence as to how the deceased came into the water, it would be better to record an open verdict, which would leave the case fer further inquiry.—The jury therefore re tuned a verdict of "Found dead in the river."—At the close of the investigation the beadle informed the coroner that another body had been picked up just previously near the same spot by a waterman. It was that of a young man, andhed been in the water some considerable period.—The coroner said that he should hold an inquest in a few days ' upon the body, which would allow the police and the officers ' time to get the necessary evidence together. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MLaCH 19, Dublin maintains its usual tranquillity. The ao counts from the country are of a similar character, with the exception of the north, where some dis turbance appears to have taken place. In Derry the threatened procession has hi-en proclaimed down by the mayor, Nil.. Alexander Lindsay, on informa tion that the peace of the city was menaced. Nothing further seems to have taken place in the maiden city. In Belfast, where a collision was threatened between the repealer' and orangemen, I have heard the projected meeting has been stopped, and some rioting taken place. The Belfast papers of yesterday are silent on the subject, but by private letters received this morning accounts of suppres sion and some slight disturbance have reached us. In the south the simultaneous meetings have passed over quietly, and appear to have been very numerous. The meeting will positively take place to-morrow. To this the Young Irelanders are solemnly pledged. No proclamation is likely to issue, since the Evening Post of last evening would be sure to contain the pro hib:tion. A vast number of the operatives will at tend ; but the aggregate will be seriously diminished ' by the refusal of the Old Irelanders to participate in the demonstration, as well as the cotemperaneous meeting of Conciliation Hall. The military appear abroad to-day without their side-arms, and the police attended divine service with out their muskets and cartouch boxes. SCOT LAND. EDINDUROZ, MAROR 20. The intelligence of the Queen's aecouchement reached Edinburgh about eleven o'clock in the fore noon, when the bells were set ringing. At the theatre, the national anthem was sung with much enthusiasm, and yesterday prayers were offered up in all the churches—the absence of a liturgy enabling' loyalty amongst presbyterians to assume a devotional form without the aid of privy council mandates. In Paisley the parish churches have had their share of the current depression. These fabrics are three in number; the total sittings are 2,883, of which only 350 are let ; and of those let, only 209 are paid for : the whole ecclesiastical revenue of the town amounting to 181. 2e. 7d. --- Fins AT CORAILT CASTLE, ATIASHIEI.—On the even ing of Saturday last the principal room of this build ing on the lower fist was discovered to be on fire. With the prompt assistance of neighbours and an easy meow to water, after great exertions, the fire was confined to the room in question, which, however, was completely destroyed, with its contents, rousting the total destruction of one of the oldest habitable buildings in Scotland. The ro m was desk, of most tasteful workman ship, recently executed in the style of the original structure.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1848. Finn AT LANA.II. Mitts.—On Monday morning, a fire broke out in a flat in one of the extensive cotton•spinniog mills at New Lanark. It had a very alarming appearance at one time, and the whole building, with all its valuable ma chinery, seemed in imminent danger of being destroyed; but by the strenuous exertions of the workers in the course of two hours the flames were subdued. Before the fire was ex tinguished, however, a scutching-room, a beaming•room, and two attic rooms, containing warping machines, were almost completely destroyed. The fire was first discovered in a beg of cotton wool, but how the wool had been ignited has not ►een ascertained. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. LANC.ASIIIRE AND CHESHIRE CHARTIST CAMP NERTtrio.—On Sunday a very large meeting of the chartists and repeaters of Lancashire and Cheshire, at which there were from 16,000 to 20.000 persons present, was held on the common known as Oldham Edge, about a mile from the town of Oldham. The spot selected formed almost a natural amphitheatre, and was admirably adapted to acco i•• misdate such a large congregation. There were some heavy s t o rms during the day, notwithstanding which the people stood their ground, and listened patiently to their orators. About one o'clock, Richard Pilling, of Ashton, was called to the chair, and resoluti ns in favour of the charter and repeal were as together with an address of congratulation to the French people. The speak. ru were James Leech arid Edward Clsrk, chartists of Manchester ,• Mr. Doheny, of Dublin , M r. Fearrits O'Connor, M.P., and Messrs. Donovan, Thou. Rankin, Webb, an a l R. O. Cooper. Scarcely anything . was said that had not been said before at the two meetings in Manchester.—Mr. Doheny asked the chartists to yoin them in getting Ireland for the Irish ; and he promised that they would lain the chartists in getting England for the English, and that at all times, and in all dangers, the people of Ireland would stand by the people of England. This was the time of freedom ; the world was shaking, thrones crumbling, and despots flying; and now , was the day for Irish freedom and Irish chartism. They ! (the repeaters) joined with the chartist , in everything. He said with them, " The charter, the whole charter, and nothing but the charter ;" and they asked from the chartists lin return, " Ireland, all Ireland, and nothing but Ireland." France would fraternise with them; the first act of the young republic was to concede the charter. Let there be fraternity Is, tween the people of England and Ireland for ever. (Cheers.) —Mr. Feargun O'Connor made what was for him a short speech. Re dwelt particularly upon the ad• vantages of his land plan, contending that man was to live by the sweat of his own brow, and not by the sweat of others. This was a gathering for a great and holy purple ; it was not only through himself to repre. sent labour in the House of Commons, but it was to take the iron hoof of despotism off the Irish and English people. Let no man place the land scheme and the charter in the same scale. The land scheme, as compared to the charter, was only as one drop of water in the ocean. This was a sacred day—a virtuous and truly religious congre. Ration of people; and let every man uncovered —every man with his hat off—let every man with him swear to heaven that they would never abandon the cause of charti.m till their freedom was obtained. (Loud cheering, the auuitors taking off their hats and waving them in the air.) Mr. O'Connor continued Was ever a regiment better ma noeuvred than that? Was ever the word of • commander more promptly obeyed than that? Is not that discipline? Mr. O'Connor appealed to the chartists to assist Ireland in obtaining her freedom—The speeches were over by three o'clock, and the meeting dispersed quietly. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.

Before the Master of the how. SNOOK v. WATTS —IN,ANITT.—This suit was instituted to foreclose certain mortgages executed by the defendant, George Watts, one of which was made for 3,0001. in Dee. 1834, to a Mr. Skruhb, and another in April 1835 for 4001., to a Mr. Asher. Both these mortgages were tuedgned in April 1836 to the plaintif f Snook, who also bad another mortgaeftom Watts for 600 1 ., made in January 1836, a nd he su n ea tly made further advances to Watts and his wife. T t , bill was tiled in Jan. 1842, and the cause came on to be heard in April 1844, when it was objected that Watts was a lunatic when he executed the mortgage deeds. The snit accordingly stood over for the purpose of having a cora , mission issued to try Watts' state of mind. A commission was accordingly issued, and id March, 1845, a verdict was found by the jury that Watts was insane, and had been so from Ist January, 1822. The question now turned upon the sanity of Watts when he executed the deeds, the plaintiff contending . that he was only subject to epileptic tits and vio lence during the continuance of their effects, but at other times he was perfectly rational ; and the evidence of Mr. Deacon, the solicitor at whose office the deeds had been executed, gave testimony to his sanity at that time. For the defendant, on the other hand, it was contended that he was a lunatia and incompetent at the time of executing the deg ds.—Messrs. Turner, Walpole, and Willcock for the plain tiff ; Messrs. Roupell and Wright for the defendant.— ' The Master of the Rolls said that the verdict of the jury under the commission, threw the burden of proof oa the party contending for the sanity of Mr. Watts. There was no subject more difficult for a court of justice to investigate and adjudicate satisfactorily upon, than the state of a man's mind with reference to sanity or insanity, in order to de tennine whether he was legally bound by or responsible for particular acts. One of the means of judging, and perhaps the most important, where there were apnt indications of insanity, was by comparing each act of insa nity with the other acts of the same person. A great deal more must be considered than the particular acts brought into considera tion. Though some of a man's acts might be very strange, and afford some ground for imputing insanity, they might not be sufficient to prove that the sets in question were done under the delusions of insanity. And again, when a man was found by a jury to be Weans at a particular period, and at other tunas sane, one or two acts done apparently by a man of sound mind would not in all eases peeve that the sets done were fres from delusion, or the Musser to which a person acting under Manse delusions was liable. In this case it appeared that Watts was at times insane and subject to fits of insanity ; but that, on other oe 0111MMI, he was applied managing beldame. The question wee whether he was so capable on each of the days when the deeds were ezeceted. It was et the least coneistent with the evidence that he might have been eo. There wee evidence that at the time of the acts he was acting as a man of sound mind of th e supposed to act. With the exception of Dea con none of the witnesses appeared to have had any intim'. tion that there was any imputation on his sanit Deacon bad had an intimation of it some time bef ogs; but it did not appear to have made much impression on him. If he had seriously thoaght there was any ground for the imputation he would not have allowed the deeds to be executed without investigating the state of his mind, having regard to the de. lioions to which he was subject, and their influences oa his mind. Thu* was nothing in the case inconsment with the notion that the deeds were duly executed. But Watts war not pat to that test to which a man in his state of mind ought to have been subjected. He thought, therefore, that he ought not to determine the point himself, though he agreed that the court was competent to do so. But it should be investigated to a much larger extent than it would be from the evidence to be derived from the particular acts. He should therefore direct issues to try the question of ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCI IT.—SURZWBBURY, Maxon 20. The commission was opened at Shrewsbury on Saturday night by Mr. Serjeant Taltourd, the judges being detained at Stafford by the heavy calendar there. This morning the business of the assizes commenced at Shrewsbury, Mr. J us tics Patteson presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice I. Cresswell in the Nisi Pries Court The criminal business is ic not hesvy, the calendar containing the names of only 39 2 .: prisoners, but one or two of the cases are of an aggravated nature, one being a charge of wilful murder, and another of sa manslaughter. The civil busineu c °gists of seven causes, two of which are special jury causes, one of them being a 5t new trial of a disputed will cause, " licher v. Blayne," I which has excited great interest in the county of Salop. tint Pams.—Before Mr. Justice CresswelL Martin AND Wire U. D•Vir.S.—INTENTIONS OP • Tu. it TATolt.—The plaintiff, Mrs. Mound, had lived for a number ).! of years in the service of Lady Boyne, at Ludlow, in this v county, u housekeeper, and between her and Timothy 0 Davies, butler, in the same service, the closest intimacy had subsisted, and they had aoreed to get married. But Davies fell sick, and died in 1830 ; a few days before he died, he sent fora person named Hodgkins, a saddler, at Ludlow, whom he named executor in his will ; the testator told Hodgkins that in a former will he had left Mrs. Mound (then Mrs. Tench), 300 f.; but, that in his last will he bad left her nothing ; but now, from the great affection he bore her, he intended to leave her a note of hand of Lady Boyne's for 1, and twe Austrian bonds tor 1001. each ; he gave Mrs. blaund the note of hand in liodgkiss's presence, and at her request Hodgkin wrote a memorandum to that effect on the hick of the note. The testator died in about ten wta.ks after, and his property then came to his sister, Mrs. Dickens, who died in 1844, end at her death the property descended to his nephew, the defendant is the present action, which was on an issue by Lord Langdale fr the Rdls' Court, to try whether or not the testator did in reality give the note and bonds to Mrs. Maund.—The jury returned a verdict far the plaintiffs. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAXBRIDOE, MARCH 20. HALL V. HILL.—Ex eccrtinc —This was en action for an alleged taking of the plaintiff's goods—via, a lighter and a boat, on the 31st of July, 1847, under an execution, la a harmer action, brought by the present defendant against David Wi ar, of Warrington, the question was, whether the goods were the property of the plaintiff, or of David Wear, or whether the sale was a colourable one to release the goods from an execution. There was a great deal of conflicting testimony, and during the trial the Lord Cilia ➢aron committed a woman named Giddings to prison, for refusing to answer a quea ioa.— The trial was remarkable more for the length of time it oc cupied tnan fur ;toy important interests involved ; it having conamencea on Saturday at n•.nn and lasted until noon on Monday, when the jury retired to consider their verdict. — In his summing up the Lord Chief ➢aron observed, that if every case were to he discussed at the length this had been it would be necessary to provide 20 courts of law at West minster Hall, instead of three or four, and ten times the number of jurymen to decide whether a small matter of pro perty belonged to Mr. Hall or Mr. Hill ; and as the case began on Saturday and had gone into a great part of to-day, the cost would be very considerable, probably five or six times the amount of the property in question.—The jury, after re tiring for some little time, gave a verdict for the defendant on both points.

Holland, the warraut officer, stated that the prisoner had been a respectable householder in the district for several years, but that in consequence of the depraved conduct of his who had abandoned her home and family some timo since to cohabit with another man, his mind had become so painfully affected that he was unable to attend to his business, and was ultimately reduced to a state of perfect destitution. He had since endured the greatest privation and wretchedness, and entirely depended for support upon the occasional assis , ance that hat been afforded him by the parish; hut, there being some doubts as to his proper place of settlement, all his efforts to obtain a permanent asylum in the workhouse had been un successful. Oti Wednesday last he made a dual appeal ti the parish t dicers, and afterwards proceeded to a secluded field in the neighbourhood of Hackney. where he was found lr hag by a cutlet passer-by in a state of stupir and exhaus tion, with a frightful gash in his throat, and grasping in hls hand a table-knife, with which the wound bad been inflicted. A medical gentleman, named Harris, wh..) also happened to be fortunately passing the spot, immediately dressed the wound, and directed the removal of the prisoner to the infirmary of Hackney workhouse, where he had since re mained.—Mr. Rosa, the relieving overseer of Shoreditch, stated that the prisoner did not belong to their parish, but that, notwithstaadiag, when lie last made his applicaton for assistance, he was at once supplied with bread, mid intormed that his claims should be fully investigated before the Board of Trustees at their next meeting. Mr. Roes also intimated that he woo now pert( ctly ready to receive the prisoner and pass him in the usual manner to his settlement, as soon as that could be clearly ascert a ined.—Mr. Hammitt expressed a hope that no further obstacle would be interposed, and ordered the prisoner, who had not uttered a word throughout, to be consigned to the care of the parish officers. WESTMINSTER.—ArrxisrIan StICIDE.—A middle aged man, named Melvelle, was charged with attempting to drown himself. —On Saturday afternoon Policeman Tedman observed defendant on Battersea bridge, and in a moment afterwards VW him vault over the railings and precipitate himself into the water.

Un witching him, a sovereign, some silver, a bunch of keys, and ether tri fl ing articles , were found in his paseesion.—Defendant made no answer to the charge, and appeared unconscious of what was 13111/111; around him. —A medical gentleman acquainted with the defendant inti mated that the recent tor of some near relatives had had such an effect upon him, that he did not consider him in a sound state of mind.—Mr, Broderip gave hint into the cus tody of his friends, and requested that the wo uld exercise proper care and watchfulness over him , whten they under took to do.

The steamer from Liverpool has been at sea nearly seventeen days, and is fully due. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY ETBNINO. The rapid succession of extraordiuwy events by every day's arrival from the continent seems quite enough to create au exh-ustion of excitement in the public mind. la addition to the remarkable occur rences in Vienna and B"rlin, communicated t xclusively 'by this morning's Daily Xeres, private advice(' iron Hamburg report political disturbances of a serious aspect in Hanover, with some popular commotions in Bremen aiso which were appeased at once by the re quiredconcessions on the part of the city authorities. In the trice of all these untoward circumstances abroad, by which commerce, credit, and confidence are everywhere more or less disturbed, the funds presented the slightest possible alteration. Consols were marked at 801 to 1 nearly all day, and only momentarily were called y lower, without any trans actions being really reported at the lower rate. It is to be observed, however, that the stock market con tinues extremely quiet, though steady, and few specu lative operations are hazel ded. Su little money stock is offered for sale, that apprehensions are still enter tained by parties who have operated for the fall, and might be disposed otherwise to extend their accounts in that direction, lest when account day arrives they should be caught without stock for delivery, and be forced to pay ror it on such terms as the holders might be pleased to impose. June exchequi r bills were 25a. to 28s. premium ; the March bills, 225. to 265. Some scattered rie,rations of foreign stocks show that small parcels ere -till pressed on the market, and probably also that simulated bargains pass to keep up a show of business, and establish rates of prices. Spanish Fives were down to 111 to ; the Threes, 21i to 2 ; Passive 21 to 3i. Portuguese, 14 to 15. Dutch Twceand-a-Half per Cents., 41 to 3; the Fours, 61 to 3. Russian, 85 to 8.

It is stated from Salisbury that a first dividend, at the rate of 4s. in the pound, had been agreed before Mr. Commissioner Evans to be paid on the joint estate of Messrs. Brodies, the late hankers in that city, the official assignee having passed hie accounts in the Court of Bankruptcy on the Ist instant. The number of creditors entitled is said to amount to 1,257. Either the official assignee himself, or SOON one duly authorised by him, will, it is understood, attend in Salisbury in the last week of the press month to make payment of the;clividend, which mad be a great convenience to those interested in cite locality. The following statement, prepared and condensed from various official returns, will be found to present an intelligible view of the note circulation of the United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by the banks indicated, both positively at the date of the accounts last made up, and comparatively with re turns for corresponding periods.
