Their efforts had been directed during the recess to effect arrangements which may !sena I • • t ••+ 0n0...e.1.

Both in au engiueeriox and in ar, economical point of view the directors believed that it hal been prudent to avoid any expenditure on works daring the last six moaths. "the time had, however, now arrived when they m Oat be commenced with safety and propriety ; and, in order to proceed with those works, a ea I of U. per shore payable on the 31st March neat had been mule.

The uswil half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this eorn:iany was held on Saturday last, at see o'clock, in the Monksferry Birkenbi ad.

NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR RAILWAY. The fourteenth general meeting of the proprietors was held on Saturday, at the Clerindon.rooms, Soeth John-street, Liverpool, at twelve o'clock ; Francis Shand, Esq. presiding on the occ talon. The report of the directors stated the over-due debentures of the company, with all arrears of interest, had been paid; that the receiver ap pointed by the Court of Chancery had been discharged, and that the company had resealed the full coutiol :aid ad ministration of their revenue ; overtures had been made to the directors from the Newry and Enniskillen company for a junctioe, which would bring a large accession of traffic M their line, and they off: red to join the Newry and En niskillen Company, provided the propuition of expenditure to be made by each company could be mutually agreed up' n, and that the litter company should succeed in estab lishing the connexion they noualit with the Delimit Junc tion Company, but which that company were opposed to. The report also stated that the pa/imager traffic bad ex hibited • steady progressive improvement, the increase beteg upwards of ten per cent. The chairman moved the adopton of the report, which alter some discussion was agreed to. On the recommendation of the directors the salary of the secretary was fixed at 1001. per annum. The retiring dirntors Mears. Shand, Holland, and Cochrane, along with Mr. Maunder, the retiring auditor, was re elected. Joseph Lupton, Evg ,of Newry, was, at the sug gestion of many shartholdets re , ident in Ireland, admitted to a seat at the directors' b card. The muting was then made special, and a resolution authorising the re-issue of debentures in lieu of those paid off passed, after which the meeting separated. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company wee held at their offices in Duhlin, on Friday last, Mr. J. W. Musland in the chair. The directors' report, the substance of which bas already appeared in our columns, having been read, the chairman, in moving its adoption, said : With respect to the future, he would observe that although he did not like to make rash promises, he thought, when they considered that the br.dge over the Boyne was still incomplete, and up to the present time be might say that the company had had none of the goods traffic between Belfast and Dublin, and they further considered that the passenger traffic was a good deal impeded by the coin. sounicetion upon the Kell. extension line being still un opened, they might, without danger of being misled, or of taking too sanguine a view of their oosition, fairly calculate, when thaw works were completed, upon a still further considerable increase of traffic. With re ;wet to the time at which they might expect these works to be completed, he was unable to give them any information beyond what was contained in the report, namely, that they hoped to have them finished early in summer; and no pains would be spared, as far as the dire*. tors were concerned, to have it done and ready for the pas meager traffic in the approaching season, in which there was eapected to be a considerable increase, in consequence of the great number of parties which the Great Exhibition to be hold in Dublin would bring into the country. That company had entered into arrangements with the Magnetic Telegraph Company to lay down a line of telegraph coin- aisaicution along the whole of the railway from Dublin to Drogheda and from Drogheda to Kell, and that, which would be done without any expense to the company, would, be hoped, afford tome additional accommodation to the public, and would no doubt be productive of greater facility in the working of the traffic. The Magnetic Telegraph Company had also entered into similar arrangements with all the railways in Ireland, en that inn few months they night expect to see perfected a telegraphic line connecting them not only with Belfast, Cork, and Galway, but with different parts of Great Britain.—The report was adopted, after some discussion of no general interest, and a dividend at the rate of 31 per cent. was Metered.

The half yearly mooting of this company waa held on Saturday at the *dime in Otaildhall-chambers, City. The Earl of Loos dale loon the chair. The Secretary read the report, from which it appeared that the balance to favour of the company in respect to the traffic account was 1,831/. is. 4d. Thu whole ezpcoditore on the works might now be taken at 426,9001., which was w ithio the estimaw. As 6,12 d shares were forfeited, the °Ticino' capital was deficient by the sum of 44,00" l. The directors had therefore applied to parliament fur permission to re-issue a portion of the for feited shares to the extent of 5d,0801., which would enable the company to meet the temaining charges fur land, works, and rutting stock. The girths receipts of the half year's traffic were 5,0u61. 31. 3J. After a few words from the chairman the report was adopted. A vote of thanks was passed to the noble chairman and the director, and the ametiag adjourned. DUBLIN AND BRAY RAILWAY.—The ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company we' held at their office, 12, Dame-street, Dublin, on Friday ; S.r 0. Preston in the chair. The engineer's report gave a very favourable account of the progrtss of the works, and ended by stating that there appeared to be nothing to prevent the opening of the line between Dublin and Bray or. the Ist of July next. The forfeited shares have been to some amount r, deemed by the registered shareholders, and the reareindor sold with advantage to the company.

EVANs. In this eau, which was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls, and which involved a question of settlement on ar ta= sates, the court ou a fanner occasion took time to semitheeme ed pante betught before them ; namely, whether urban estates belesiging to Mrs. Evans, one of the parties, were chargeable with certain incumbrances. The facts are of no interest except to the parties concerned, and it may suffice to say, that the Lord Chancellor now con firmed the decision of the Muter of the Rolls, which w-• that the re t ells were ' am. • •ra.cot . _ —.a appeal was therefore dismissed on all the points. Re CUDIVING.—LVIACT. In this case, which has been so frequently before the court, it was on a former occasion decided by the court that Mrs. Cumming was entitled to traverse the inquisition, which bad declared her of unsound mind. Afterwards by the advice of the Court an arrangement was proposed to enter a supersede's and to secure to Mrs. Cumming an annuity of 6001 a year, and that all the costs which had been incurred should be paid out of her estate, but not until after her death. The only question that remained was whether the court could grant a supereetteas without its being clearly ascertained that Mrs. Canaan was not of unsound mind, and also whether the saparsedeas should be granted unconditionally and without reference to any other arrangement between the parties =named. The Solicitor-General appeared on behalf of Mrs. Cum ming, and moved that the traverse should issue, as the ar rangement proposed had not been acceded to by all the parties. The Lord Chancellor said, as that was the case, there was no alternative but to allow the traverse to issue. EDWARDS O. CHAMPION. In this cue the question was whether there was a sever ance of a joint tenaney. The arguments were only opened, when The Lord Chancellor said he thought this a cue in which he ought to avail himself of the provisions of the late act of parliament, which enabled the courts of equity have the assistance of a common law judge, instead of as formerly sending a case for the opinion of a court of law. Tho hear ing must, therefore, be postponed till next term. Buono Twit Mania or TEs 7,0u.a. IN 1E TUB MANCIIISTZZ NZW COLLZOI.—EDUCATION OF PILUBYTERIAN hinttstsms.—PirrtioN FOR REMOVAL TO LusDON. - . _ This was a petition for the removal of Manchester New College, founded for the education of presbyterian minis trs, and of the sons of persons of that persuasion, from Manchester CO London, in enter that it may be placed, so far as the literary and scientific departments are concerned, in connexion with University College. It appeared that, after the Act of Uniformity, one academy for the education of presbyterien ministers was conducted by Mr. Frunklantl, one of the ejected ministi re at Rathmel, in Craven, York shire, which was extensively supported by the presbyterians of the north. After his death sitular academies were founded successively at Altercliffe, in Yorkshire, at Kendal, at Fin. dern, near Derby, and then at Warrington. The academy at Warrington was on a comprehensive scale, and subscrip tions towards Its foundation and support were extensively made by the presbyterians in London, Liverpool, Birming ham, Manchester, Bristol, and other places. The institu tion at Warriogton having declined, a meeting of the trus tees, being subscribers to the amount of two guineas an nually or benefactors to the amount of 20 guineas, was held on the 22nd February, 1788, at which it was resolved that an academy should be established at Manchester, under the direction of the Rev. Thomas Barnes, D.D., and the Rev. Ralph Harrison, and those gentlemen having accepted the office the academy was removed to Manchester, where col lege buildings were erected; and the library at Warring s, consisting of several thousand velumes, was presented * the institution at Manchester, and the scientific IMPe- Mine to • similar establishment which was about to be howledat Hackney. The Hackney College was closedin 1795, sad is 1803 the Manchester New College was removed to Tea, and placed under the care of the Rev. C. Well beloved, and during the time it was at York it was in • state of great prosperity. The Rev. C. Wellbeloved having intimated his intention to resign, a meeting of the trustees was held in December. 1839, at which Mr. Mark Phillips moved, and Mr. W. Rayner Wood seconded, • resolution. that it was expedient that the college should be removed W London. An amendment, however, was moved to subs& tuts Manchester for London, which was carried by 17 vein to 1.5, and the institution was removed to Manchester aceordiagly. Duller the time the institution was at Yoh several legacies were bequeathed to it, with which the trustees purchased two estates at Oxclose and Litigator. k Yorkshire, for 9,0001., which, together with Os buildings in Manchester, which were converted fate= ling-houses in 1800, valued at 4,0001., and alma l s 7Mi. be railway debentures and 5001. stock, eenstitute the Oso,.ertf of the institution. Since the removal of the institution bath 10 Manchester it has not flourished, and the eumher of students have declined and the subscriptions fallen off, so much se that while in 1841 the divinity students were only 11 sad he 18.51 only 8, and the lay students who in 1841 numbered 17 bad in 1851 decreased to 8, and the subscriptions have k like manner fallen off from 1,8401. to 7911. On the Bth et December, 1852, a meeting of the trustees was held, se which it was resolved, by 38 votes to 4, that the institution be removed to London, the students to be placed at Unine , city Hall, where theological instruction can be afforded them, and that the institution be placed is connexion with University College, so far as the scientific and literary edu cation is concerned. The Solicitor-General, who appeared in support of the petitioa, urged that the institution was not one of a local cha easter, but was supported by Presbyterians in the whole of She kingdom, it being the only one iulingland, and the right of the trustees to remove it from place to place had been exercised several times and had never been questioned till now, and now it was questioned only by Mr. W. Rayner Wood, who had fornerly been one of the principal advo cates for its removal to London. He admitted, however, that he might in some degree be himself to blame for this, as aloug with Mr. Boundell Palmer he had given an opinion that the inatitutioa could net legally be removed to London. That opinion, however, was given in a case in which the facts were very imperfectly stated; and now that the facts were fully laid before him, he was of a contrary opinion. He contended that net only would the removal be legal, bat that it would be advantageous for the institution, inas much as the cost at Manchester for literary and scientific in-' struetion to the divinity students in 1850 was 8181., while the same isetraction could be given in University College for about 2001., leaving a large fund applicable to the other funds of the college and to theological instruction, which was the main object of the institution. Mr. Ifoundell Palmer, who appeared for the respondent, Mr. W. Rayner Wood, contested the leplity of the pro potted removal, and contended that the institution was in tended for the Presbyterians of the north et England, and that Manchester, which contained professors of all descrip tions, besides other educational advantages, was a peculiarly fit place for such an institution. His Honour reserved his judgment. COURT OF BA] BIPOIII It.. N.—SATURDAY. Govs.scur. Ix in HANNAII.-01•110111111IDER zxn PINAL SICTION The bankrupt, W. J. Hannan, was described ass wine rind spirit unnehant, of Brighton. This was the certificate meeting. His accounts extended over fifteen months prior to the failure in November last, and contained some consi derable items. It appeared by the statement of accounts that the bank rupt hail no capital when he commenced business, but on the contrary was insolvent to the extent of 6291. This de ficiency is now increased to 4,1711. tie. Ild., after a period of only 16 months. The creditors for goods are mostly vouched ' by the bankrupt's books and accounts. Mr. J. Fetter is returned as a creditor for cash lent, 3751. 10s. No entry of this is made in the bankrupt's cashbook, but he states that 3201. of the amount was bad on the 22nd October, 1851. The banker's pasahook shows that he paid in 3201. on that day, but there is no entry in his books to show that it asses from Potter, who is an assistant to the haakrupt. W. Tispy is also returned as a eteditor for 2031. for .calm advanced to the bankrupt upon security of wines, *e. These advances do not appear in his original euhbook. Upwards of 3001. of the liabilities of 6641. arises from as commodation bills. The profits are returned at 6211.; the expenses amount to 2,5761., of which 1,9801. are vouched by entries in the bankrupt's books, and by es ceipte and accounts. The losses amount to 8911. The sum of 1001., charged as loss on sales by auction, is an aratemall loin incurred by the bankrupt in selling wiriest**. amount of 8291, at various times. There is nothing the cost price of those wines. His sales and pear to have bzen entered regularly in his WAS. 'lt cashbook is very imperfect. The bankrupt only added it up monthly, but omitted on both sides, and the result is an estimated expen diture of 5951. The bankrupt has rendered every informa tion resing his estate that I require. Me. ley opposed the bankrupt on behalf of the as deems. he principal grounds of opposition were that the basibrupt bad begun without capital, had gone on trading issolvsnt, and had also brought himself within the peal sections of the act by obtaining credit by means of fniad or false pretences, and by omitting to make proper entries le his books with a view to deceive his creditors. There was also a special groand of opposition on the part of Mr. Alderman Hooper, the trade assignee, from whom the bankrupt had obtained six pipes of wine shortly be tare his failure, which wine he had transferred to Mr. Tin sey, of Regent-street, as security for advances of 2301. and 1301. 1 his wise had been retained till the bankruptcy, when it was redeemed by Mr. Hooper paying the full charges. Mr. Lisklater, in support of the bankrupt, called Mr. Tingey who stated that he first koew the bankrupt when he was clerk in a house in Crutchedfrian, and had some transactions with him on account of his employers. The first transaction with him on his own account was in Nov. 1851, when wisnew advanced him money on some wine warrants. The advance was made by discounting a three months bill for 351. Witness charged 365. discount, which was 20 per cent. per annum. \Vine warrants were depo sited as security. In February last advanced bankrupt 2301. upon a bill at the same rate of discount ; he deposited four pipes of port as security, which were placed in the Pantechnicon, in Tottenham-covet-road. In May ad mimed him 1301. mere, and got other three pipes of wine Which were to be bottled. They remained till the bank ruptcy, and were then redeemed by Messrs. Hooper on peeing the charges. The hearing occupied two days, the evidence being very voluminous ; but the leading facts, as well ea the applica tion thereto of the law, all fully embodied in the judgment which hie Honour now delivered. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1853. The Commissioner said that the court felt bound to sus pend the certificate for 18 months from the date of the peti tion. and to withhold the bankrupt's protection for three months from this date. As he had not been found guilty under the penal section, the court could grant bins protec tion after he had undergone the imprisonment above-named. Mr. Linkhter asked what would be the class of certifi cate ? Hie Honour said that, looking at the expenditure, the cause of failure was clear enough.iThe certificate would only be of the third class. These were eases in which he was eoneinced that it was necessary to do something to check these practices in trade. If they were not checked no one would be safe. her own feelings and judgment in the matter. If after this my wife leaves me I swear I will not try to see her again. You may use all the means in your power to induce her to leave me, bat let ua understand each other. I allow you to use all the moral influence a mother has over her child; but, by God, do not use any violence, because, frank as I am, I tel you beforehand you would fail in the attempt !

HOME CIRCUIT-HERTFORD, FEB. 26. CITA, Elloc—Berots ML BAWD AMNIA/lON AND A COMMON JtAIL Tuz QUEEN V. JOSIAH SALMON BEMS& AND Fan- DIRICIL WILLIAM THOMAS. Mr. Bingham directs! Hobart', one of the officers attached to the court, to accompany the applicant to Dean-street, and toltake the interpreter with them, as from the letter the count appeared to be a violent man. After an hour's absence the officer returned, and made a communication to the bench to this effect : He found the young lady and her husband occupying a room in the upper part of a house in Dean-street, with all the appearances of much destitution. As soon as Madame Juvenot made her 4ppearance an affecting scene ensued. The daughter fell fainting into her mother's arms, the Count dropped on the floor in a state of insensibility, and for some time nothing but tears, sobs, and exclamations, were heard. As soon as all parties became more composed, explanations were entered into, which ended in the mother becoming satisfied that her daughter was the wits of Count Geri , z, and de claring her determination to forgive the past, and reside with her children for the future. This was an indictment fur misdemeanor, to which the efendants surrendered to take their trial. The offence imputed to the defendants was that of con spiracy. The prosecutors were Messrs. Cramer, Beale and Co., the music-sellers in Regent-street; and it appeued, from the evidence of Mr. Chappell, one of the partners, that in April. 1832, the deft ndant Brewer, who at that period occupied an establishment at Barnet, called Underhill house, where he carried on the profession of a schoolmaster, came to the shop in Regent-street, and expressed a desire to hire a grand pianoforte, with liberty to purchase. An ar rangement was consequenttly made by which the defendant was to have the use of an instrument fur 3 months, at the rate of 2.5 e. per month for the hire, and at the expiration of that time he was allowed to purchase it, if he pleased, for 25 guineas. The instrument was accordingly placed in the de fendant's possession,. and nothing more was heard upon the subject until the 12th of October, when prisoner called upon the prosecutors and inquired what price they should ask for the piano at the expiration of six months, and they told him he must pay the same price for it originally asked ; but that the instrument would under no circumstances be parted with unless she money was paid ; and Brewer then went away, saying that he would call in the following week and pay for the instrument. A very few days after this the prosecutors discovered that the whole of the furniture and effects of Brewer were advertised to be sold by public auc tion, and they immediately sent one of their clerks with a van and men to Barnet to demand the restitution of the piano, and on their going to Underhill-house, they found the de fendant, Thomas, who is an auctioneer and estate agent, in possession of all the property, and he produced a document, by which it appeared that, in consideration of certain money advanced by him to Brewer, he had assigned to him the whole of the furniture in his house, with a power to sell it and re-imburse himself. The prosecutors' servants demanded the possession of the pianoforte, explaining that it was not the property of Brewer, but was merely lent to him on hire, but the defendant, Thomas, said it should not be taken away, and if it was it should only be in pieces. These were the main facts of the case ; and the only circumstance upon which it was sought to show that Thomas bad acted illegally in the transaction was that he had gone to the landlord of the house, to whom at the time thirty pounds were due for rent, and induced him to give him a distress warrant, by stating that they were removing the goods from Underhill house, and that he would lose hie rest if he did not do so, and that he gave him a check for 301. The property, it ap peared, was eventually sold, and the piano .n question fetched nineteen guineas, but the prosecutors had n received a single farthing, either for the hire or for the instrument. Baron Alderson, without hearing the counsel for the de- 1 fondants, said it appeared to him that the evidence would not support the charge of conspiracy. There was nothing to show that Thomas bad made any improper arrangement with the ether defendant; and all he seemed to have done was to keep as much property as he could, in order that his claim upon Brewer might have the better chance of being satisfied. He might have acted unconscientiously in the transaction, but certainly not in a manner to bring him within the scope of a criminal charge. The jury accordingly found the defendants Not Gui.ly, This cue concluded the civil business, and his lordship then proceeded to try prisoners. WESTMINSTER. Two fellows, named Dye and Webb, were charged with robbing the cellars of Sir Joseph Bailey, Belgrave-square. Police-constable Jordan, 124 B, at about three in the morning smelt the filthy fumes of an oil lamp from the area, and, on quietly approaching, ascertained that some one was in the front cellars. lie procured assistance and went over the area, when he found the two prisoners, who bad broken into the cellars, and regaled themselves so freely with wine that one was speechless drunk and the other but little better. By their side was found a portmanteau packed with liquor, which they no doubt had intended to carry off. They were committed for trial. CROYDON. On Saturday the charge of perjury against Anne Duff was proceeded with. It will be recollected that the defendant was charged with having made a false accusation against a medical gen tleman at Carshalton of having committed an unlawful assault upon her, and, from the position of the defendant, the inquiry created a good deal of interest. After some further evidence the magistrates said they would not take upon themselves to decide the matter, but should remit the case for farther inquiry, bail being taken for the girl to appear at the ensuing assizes to answer any charge that might be preferred against her.

FEB. 26.—The genenl trade of this town remains steady, as last reported, although orders are not coming in quite so freely as they did six weeks since. This appears, however, to be entirely attributable to the high price of metals, which has induced most of the manufac turers to withdraw or cancel their prices without fixing others, thus leaving it a matter of uncertainty as to what rate orders will be executed. The home trade has been eonsiderably injured from this circumstance ; and, as mat ters now stand, it seems as if the mischief was only begin ning. At present, however, all the trades are fully em ployed. Arising probably out of the scarcity and high price of copper, our attention has been drawn to a new in vention which seems capable of being turned to some ac count ; this is • process for plating iron with brass by means of electricity. The specimens produced are so much like the real thing as not to admit of being easily detected. And whilst on this subject it is worth while to notice ano ther triumph of skill in the perfection of machinery. At the wire mills of Mr. Walker a few days since a coil of copper wire was drawn in one piece four miles in length. It weighed 1231b5., and is for telegraphic purposes. In the course of the annual report of the Birmingham Banking Company to its shareholders, issued a day or two since, there is the following reference to the trade of the town and district during the past year :—" The very general maintenance of credit in this district claims and deserves a prominent notice as indicating application to legitimate business, and the avoidance of speculative undertakings.l Such, perhaps, are some of the salutary fruits of a disastrous period still well remembered ; and it is much to be desired that the comparatively easy state of the money market may not again tempt those engaged in the legitimate pursuits of business to seek inordinate gains in any of the various ad ventures which are, and will be, industriously pressed on their attention. The past year has been characterised by a good and steady demand for the numerous products of this locality, occasioned by the opening of new markets, partly by the abundance of money offering at low rates, and partly by the improved condition of various classes at home. The gradual and in some cases the rapid advance in the prices of many products has recently increased the returns of bankers, and thereby counteracted, in some de gree, the effect of low rates of profit." This bank was established 23 years ago, and has a capital of 200,0001. ; its net profits for the past year are put down at 33,6411. 83. 9d. The other joint-stock banks of the town and dis trict exhibit like evidence of prosperity. There is some uneasiness in the iron trade, and considerable doubts have been expressed in regard to the maintenance of present prices; the general opinion appears to be that they cannot long be uoheld ; prices have gone beyond a legitimate range ; this, coupled with the scarcity of coals and other attendant drawbacks, lus thrown the trade into anything but a healthy condition. On the Marquis of Anglesey's estate, in the neighbourhood of Brownhills, they are getting a large and increasing quantity of coal, the pits in that neighbour hood ••• • to yield a much larger supply than had ever THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Nance Donovan, a sturdy b►ggar woman, who has been frequently , punished for acts of vagrancy at this court, was brought before the Lord Mayor under the following cir- The defendant has been in the habit of conveying about with her two children, who appear to be in a most miser able condition, and exhibiting them, particularly in the bitter weather, for the purpose of commanding the sym pathies of the public. One of the children, a mere baby, bangs its head over the woman's naked breast, and bears evidence, in the idiotic glare of the eyes, of hawing been drugged with some narcotic, while the other child stands barefooted, and covered with filthy rags, howling by her side. Ann Donovan selected the steps leeding from the end of King William-street to Thames-street as the scene of operations, end soon attracted a crowd, from amont whom she and a child (whom she is supposed to have borrowed ready &teed for the performance) were led by one of the City police into the presence of his lordship. The Lord Mayor at once recogaised the woman as an old customer, whose last term of imprisonment for va*rancy had concluded but tbe day before, and expressed his sur prise at the seal she displayed in her calling, notwithstand ing the inevitable consequences of the practice. "Oh, then, your lordship," said she, " never bother any of ye's any more if you'll let me off this once. Upon my 'owl I wasn't begging a farthing from any one. I was only just sitting down to nurse the baby in this t: "*" weather, and sure enough it wanted a drop of suck The Aird Mayor—l have received several lett, the subject of the depraved practice of giving opt . poor infants, whose lethargic appearance never fails to ex cite the pity of passengers, and is erroneously attributed to starvation. I trust that those women who deal in living .—...--. commodities of this kind will be charged before the magic tastes. Let this woman be confined separaoely in Bride well, and let the infant be taken care of by the establish ment. The woman is sentenced to a month's imprison ment. BOW-STREET. James Mitchell was charged before Mr. Henry with committing a robbery at the Craven Head, Drury-lane, the house of Mr. Robert Hales. The prosecutor, wao is 7 feet 8 inches in height, was followed to the court by a crowd, and continued to monoppoolize the attention of the spectators throughout the proceedings Dirs. Maria Hales stated that she was the wife of the pro neuter, and while occupied in the bar parlour of the C Head, shortly before 12 o'clock on Friday night, she saw the prisoner coming down stairs with a bundle under his arm. As he was a total stranger to her, and a very un likely person to have visited the eoncert-room in the usual way, she desired the waiter to run and overtake him. Her husband also leR to assist in the pursuit, and in a few minutes the prisoner was brought back and given into ens tody, it having appeared that he had made off with the " week's washiug " just as it arrived from the laundress, together with other property. When the prisoner was taken let° custody by F 98, it was found that ha had stuffed a shawl, a pair of sheets, some large tablecloths, and other property, into the seat end legs of his trousers, atter the approved fashion of Tom Matthews; while the petticoats and shirts, forming part of the clean linen, were contained in the bundle. The prisoner, who merely begged pardon for the liberty he had taken, was committed. Mr. Henry has received the following note, with its enclosure :—" A lady encloses the half of a 101. note for the poor-box, Bow-street. Mrs. Elisabeth ililiesce7l7;iiadsome lady, about 36 years of age, was charged by Webb, the driver of the cab ,201, with refusing to pay him his fare of 45. Bd. The lady said she did not fur a moment dispute the fare, but was unable to pay it, for she had not a farthing in the wend. It was stated that nearly two years ago she was turned, with her six children, by her husband, tato the street, and had since wandered, as it were an outcast, subsisting on charity. She had sued her husband, whose income is up wards of 2,000/. a year, for a restitution of conjugal rights, and twice had he been ordered by the court to take her home, and provide for her as became hie station in life ; but he still disobeyed these orders, the last of which was made by Mr. Justice Bele a feet days back, when she pleaded her cue in person, and afterwards proceeded in the cab to her husband's abode, where, instead of obtaining ad mission, she was menaced and insulted by the footman and other servants, and driven away. S he added that at present she was nearly barefooted, and had not a change ' of linen. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he bad read of her ease, which to him appeared one of extreme hardship indeed, for the character of the lady, after all the legal investigation, was unsul lied. Ile thought her husband ought to be summoned for the fare. A solicitor intimated that he was watching the case for Mr. liskewell, and hoped he would not be called on to attend there. At all events, he would resist payment. Mr. Tyrwhitt indignantly replied that it was carrying Ithe war too far, and he hoped the cue before him would reach the ears of the lady's husband by fair means, and that he would pay the poor cabman, instead of allowing his wife to be imdrisoned. At all events, he would adjourn the case, and consider about it. M ARLBOROI.7OII-STREET. -- • • • • Madame Juvenot, a French lady, addressing Mr. Bing ham, the sitting magistrate, in French, made the following application :—While residing in Paris, a short time ago, her daughter, 20 years of age, suddenly lett her home in the company of a Count Max de Gorits. She made every effort to discover where the fugitives had gone, but without ef fect, until very lately, when she was informed they were at •houto in Dean-street, living together as man and wife. She went to the house, and demanded to see her child. I She received a refusal, and she then wrote, requesting an interview. To her letter the following reply was sent. The letter was in German. It wu to this effect: " Madame,—We are married: you emus to forget that we love each other, and, if you do not know it, I beg to tell you Josephine is a mother, and that it is very difficult to tear away a woman from the arms of him who made her a mother. In my own mind I have the firmest conviction that Josephine could not be happy without me, and to prove to you that I am ready to paerifice all that I love, I will allow you to use all your eudeavours with my wifo to per suade her to leave me. I swear to you I will not use my influence over her, sad that I will let her act according to __ premising been contemplated. COTTON.—Livratrooi, Fen. 26.—The market closed heavily to-day, and prices were nominally the same as yes terday, though, to close sales, a decline of id. was in some instances submitted to. The sales amounted to 4,000 bales, chiefly American, of which 600 were taken by exporters, the remainder being taken by the trade. The other descrip tions sold were 200 Egyptian, 61d. to 120.; and 200 Surat, 30. to 4id. MAxCgESTEIS, FEB. 26.—We have had another dull and very tame market. The prices of most yams below medium counts are fully Id. lower than last week, and buyers are chary 'of any considerable engagements at this reduction. Only fine yarns, made from a description of cotton not likely to be affected by the changing state of the market, inaintain their value, and for these there is a pretty good business doing. Cloths are also easier to bur. In some of the India qualities of 40-inch shirting' there is now a yielding in price equal to 3d. per piece on the extreme rates lately obtainable. Domestics are still much depressed, and the makers are contemplating a further reduction of , looms, with a view to decreasing the make. Printing clothe, owing to a continued good demand, maintain their value tolerably well, except for wider makes. In the print market there is a slight increase of value owing to the dearness of colouring matters and drugs used in their preparation—especially of colours where indigo is much used. Figured shirting' are in good demand, and some houses have contracts which will keep them engaged for the next two months forward. We have little expectation of any improvement in the great maw of yarns and sloths made from American cotton until • more considerable reduction in the price of tbat staple has been effected. The receipts of cotton on the American seaboard since September last are estimated at nearly half a million bales in excess of those to the lame time last year, and in Liverpool, where the !UM on hand is already 267,000 bales, an early addition of 450,000 more is spoken of. It is thought that • reduction of id. per lb. might be suf ficient to regaine confidence, bat the large arrivals may lead to undue depression, and until something like a prospect of stability can be held out to spinners and manufacturers, there will be • hesitating and slow market for goods here, with much irregularity and interruption to business. WOOLLtg CLOTITS.—)sans, ttti. —A brisk business continues to be done in the woollen cloth trade. We have had a good market to-day. Cloths of a good cha racter met with ready purchasers. Prices are regularly on the advance; a state ef things consequent on, and which must inevitably follow the important advances which have taken place in the price of all raw materials used in the manufacture of woollen cloth. We instance two articles of importance in the cloth busineas—wool and oil. An advance of full lid. to 2d. per lb. in wool has been maintained at the vales new taking place in London; and during the last three months, oil has advanced equal to about 18 per cent. We have no change to report in the state of trade in the warehouses ; a full average business, for the time of the year, is doing for the home market, and the shipping houses are very brisk and active ; on the whole, a good and satis factory trade continues to be done. This state of prosperous activity is participated in by the whole of the surrounding clothing district. The mills are all in good work, and the labouring classes hi full employment. In Batley and its vicinity, where heavy goods are principally manufactured, there never was so brisk and active a trade doing as there is at present. CORN. —CAMERIDGI, Feb. 26.—Our market was dull for all descriptions of corn, except Barley, which was ls. d . Wheat, red, new, 425. to 445. ; old, 48s. to 50s. Barley, 244. to : 4 55. Beans, 325. to 31s. Peas, 30s. to 325. Oats, 15s. to 245. CANTIRIORY, Feb. 26.—We had a large supply, and prices about the same. Wheat in very bad condition. Wheat, old, brown, 50s. to 535. ; new, 42e. to 48s. ; white, 48a. to 625. 61. Barley, 30s. to 365. Oats, 20s. 6d. Beans, 38s. 6(1. Peas, 351. CARLISLE, Feb. 26.—The supply of grain at our market to-day was rather limited. The demand good, at prices much the same as last week. COLCHESTER, Feb. 26.—A very short supply of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas. ;Fine dry samples of Wheat com manded prices fully equal to last week; other qualities met a slow sale. In some instances Is. advance was obtained fur Barley, and the trade generally brisk. Beans and P.as unaltered. GLOUCESTER, Feb. 26.—There was a moderate show of new English Wheat at to-day's market, for which estreme prices were demanded, and this tended to check business. Foreign is but little enquired for, and if wholesale buyers appeared, might be bought on easier terms. Malting Bar ley meets a steady consumptive sale at former prices. Grinding in fair request, the value of this article, as well as of Beans and Peas, is fully maintained. In Oats no im provement Gan be noted, and the supplies for the moment exceed the demand. GUILDFORD, Feb. 26.—There was an abundance of Wheat to-day, and rather a limited demand ; in some in stances, for inferior quality, prices were the turn lower. Wheat, 365. to 545. ; old, 50s. to 603. Barley, 263. to 31s. Beans, 34a. to 40s. Peas, 31s. to 40s. ElEtavoart, Feb. 26.—We bade fair supply of Wheat at our market to-duy, and the best samples fully supported last week's prices ; course descriptions a dull trade. Bar ley ruled dull, and, except for the finest parcels, less money was given. Oats, Peas, and Beans made last week's prices. Wheat, from 245. to 375. per load. Barley, 249. to 375. per qr. Oatv ' 149. to 245. Peas, 18s. to 225. per load. Beaus, 181. to 261. Tares, 20s. to 225. Eye, 19s. to 21s. Mxtecne-sTER, FEB. 26. Throughout the present week the trade for most articles has ruled exceedingly inactive, and the slight tendency towards improved prices experienced during the preceding week has again disap peared. With a prevalence of somewhat more favourable winds we have to notice increased arrivals of oats and oat meal from Ireland into Liverpool and Runcorn, and of flour and Indian corn from abroad; the ;supplies of other produce from all quarters, however, continuing lon a very limited scale. Our market this morning was of a most in animate character, and so little busin, r transpired that quotations are almost altogether nominal. _ _ NEWC/STI.II-9PON-TYNE, Feb. 26.—The trade during the present week has been characterised by great inaotivity, which is rather extraordinary, considering the paucity of the supplies, and how to account for this apathy under such circumstances is not easy, without consumers are impressed with a notion that the aggregate amount of the supplies from henceforth will exceed the demand, for upon no other ?round can we see reason for this indifference, for assuredly If ever there was a season where confidence in an advance was justified, the present is that one, inasmuch as very little Wheat has been sown as yet, and, from the state of the weather, all idea will now be abandoned of doing so, hence the prospects for the ensuing harvest are ex ceedingly unfavourable, and, should the spring prove untoward, there can be no question but that prices must advance considerably, whilst under any circum stances we consider our present currency quite safe. From the foregoing remarks it may be inferred that trans actions during the week have been upon a limited scale, but in the business done the value of all articles has been pretty well sustained, excepting Oats, which, being in excess of demand, have been more pressed upon the market, without, however, inducing buyers to come forward. At our market this morning we had a large show of Wheat from the growers, but from the coast the arrivals are trifling ; fresh thrashed samples sold Partin" V! , I dispoa.. so that tn. waarnesauu.... . • was without champ, with, however, not much passing. Malting Barley was held with great firmness, and the coun try supply was taken off readily at 30s. to 325., weighing 54Ibs. to 661bs. per bushel, such qualities being compara tively cheaper than south country varieties. In Malt little stirring. Boding Peas are scarce, and still inclining upward, the severity of the weather occasioning a greater demand than we are generally accustomed to. Beans much as before. With Oats we were fairly supplied by our growers. and having very liberal receipts from Scotland, we ex perienced a slow sale for all descriptions, at a decline gene rally of Is. per qr., and we apprehend some portion of the 'apply will have to be landed, the arrivals being beyond what the demand can take off. The arrivals this week are : Wheat, coastwise, 320 qrs. ; foreign, 1,816; Rye, coutwiee, 10; Barley, 50; Malt, 15; Oats, 4,988; Peas, 16; Beans, 16; Flour, 296 sacks. NORWICH, Feb. 26.-Our market was scantily supplied with Wheat to-day by the growers, and largely by the merchants. The farmers were unwilling sellers, except at an advance or the full rates of this day week, which they could not obtain, and much remained unsold. The latter were willing to meet the reduction, and large quantities changed hands at 2s. per qr. reduction, and ls. per qr. may be quoted as the general reduction. Flour was a slow sale at similar prices to last week ; not much business done. Barley was in good request for the very few prime malting qualities on offer, at full rates; grinding sorts were firm, and no change in price. Beane and Peas were small supply, and small 'demand ; no materiel change occurred. Oats were not so large supply, and were firm at the figures of last week. Prices:-Wheat, white, 48s. to 545. per sr.; red, 41s. to 461. Barley, malting, 335. to 355.; grinding, 261. to 295. Beans, 361. to 38s. Peas, 32 to 345. Oats, 245, to 265. Fine household Flour, f.0.b., 345. per sack of 2801 be., purchasers finding sacks and claiming one month's credit. Prreanostonon, Feb. 26.-We bad a fair supply of grain here to-day ; higher prices were asked by the growers for both Wheat and Barley, but the rates of last week could not be exceeded. Oats and Beans dull sale, and in some instances the former could be bought at less money. READING, Feb. 25.-Our market was better supplied with Wheat than of late, and for all best dry samples of fine quality a good demana at a trifling advance from last week; one parcel of new realised 625. per qr.; middling samples were neglected. Best Barley maintained former quotations ; secondary qualities were easier to buy. Al though Oats were more abundant there was a tolerable clearance, and late prices were fully obtained, as were also Beans and Peas. Wisithea, Feb. 26.-With a continuance of coarse win terly weather the farmers are not enabled to do anything in regard to sowing their land with Wheat, and being now so late, despair of doing so. The supply of Wheat and Oats i at this day's market s fair-of all other articles moderate. laferior and out of conditioned Wheat is dull sale and must be called le. per qr. cheaper, whilst the best dry millers' Wheat cannot] be bought lower. Good dry Beans in fair demand at something over last week's prices. Oats, Peas, and all other articles fully as dear. WORCESTER, Feb. 26.-Our market was fully supp:ied with Wheat to-day, but mew English realised an improve• meat of fully Is. per qr. Barley unaltered in value. Oats plentiful, and tending downwards. Beans still scarce, and in demand. Peas could only be disposed of in retail. bona, Feb. 26.-We have a large show of grain at this day's market, which has met a steady sale at last week's prices. Wheat, white, 50s. to 525. per imperial qr.; red, 465. to 48s. Barley, malting, 31s. to 335. ; grinding, 275. to 291. Malt, 58s. to 60s. Oats, 91. to 90. per stone of 141bs. Flour, 309. to 38s. per sack of 280Ibs. Coax, Feb. 25.-We have to report another doll and in active week is the corn trade. Wheat, Irish, without change ; foreign, the turn in favour of buyers. Barley stationary. Oats 2d. lower, and in limited request. Blacks, this morning, 9s. 75. to 9s. 811. ; white shipping, 9s. Bd. to Os. 10d.; meeting, 10s. to 10e. 4d. Indian Corn dull at last week's prices. In prepared and store corn very little pass ing. We have heard et no sales of Wheat. A few parcels of Oats were sold, at lls. to Ils. 3d. for white ; 10s. 3d. to 10s. 6d. for black at the latter figure there are plenty of sellers, but no buyers. Flour in limited demand, without change in value. The same remark applies to Oatmeal and Indian Meal. The receipts of home produce to the corn market during the week have been; Wheat, 448 barrels; Barley, 7,574 ; Oats, 6,041. WATERFORD, Feb. 26.-Our supplies of grain, though very light from all quarters, prove tully equal to the wants of the trade, and our market continues in the same dull state that has so long characterised it. Wheat, of good dry quality . maintains its price, but inferior samples cannot be sold without submitting to same reduction. Barley in very short supply, and without change in value ; but Oats comp freely to hand, and are 3d. per barrel cheaper on inferior samples.
