efiance of such ,results. It was impossible that so large a number of P. aeons could meet thou a large number of bad oharvaers mining with the cro wd ; but he thought it a most it .riehenest part of public journalism to characterise the wort hag classes in the terms which had been used There was no doubt but that the press were in advance of the government, but then the working climes were in advance of the press; and it behoved them to let the press know that it was dependent on the pee pie for support, which they could show by excluding from all newsrooms or reading rooms which they frequented those newspapers which took part against them. One of the prin cipal objects of the meeting wa s to express sympathy with the peat French nation for the glorious revolution which they had just achieved. Ile deprecated any display of sym pathy towards such an execrable manifest tyrant as Lome Philippe, and conceived that if any feeling of the kind wasmanifested towanis himby the royalty of this country, it would be an insult to both the French and English nations. Royalty in this country had enough to think of in refereed to its own affairs, and he would venture to say that if the people were driven to desperation, the granting of timelv concessions could alone ensure to them possession of the throne. Ile urged the working classes to lay aside small differences of opinion, and unite in the common cause, as it was by ag it a tion alone that they could obtain their objects. Thy were Mewed call as a mob and a rabble by the aristocracy. He would to their attention Earl litzhardinge's meddling with the tepe he e eentation of West Glou ces t ers hire, with refried to which said Sir G. Grey attempted to stifle inquiry because • peer of the realm was affected thereby. He would also have them look at the three noblemen who held nearly the whole of London as their property, and who enjoyed a revenue of hundreds of thousands • year. Ile said, let them look at the Queen with 400,0001- per snnum, and compare it w i th the 6,0001. received by the President of he United States for the same work. The executive of this country cost 1,000,000 1 . yearly, while that of America did not amount to 100,0001. Then the Comte de St. Aulaire, the late French ambassador in this country, received 15,0001. per annum ; while the new republ;can chargé d'Affaires received but 4001. for the same duty. He deprecated iu strong terms the recent expen diture of 150.000!. in embellishing what he called " the mansion at Pimlico," and stated that, but for the recent revolution in France, application would have been made to parliament this 'session for a grant for a new palace. Ile complained, also, that Prince Albeit should have 3 0 , 0001 . • yea r allowed hi m, besides 12.0001. or 14,0001. arising from other sources; and that 100,0001. • year should be bestowed upon the Queen Dowager, a foreign woman, who had no sympathy with the English people, and who had used her best endeavours to prevent the Reform Bill from being passed. He concluded by expressing his opinion that all that costly royalty must be cut down, as the only means of se curing the rights of the people. The speech was received with hearty demonstrations of I applause. It was interrupted, however, leveret times by various incidents which diverted the somewhat tickle atten tion of the crowd. Several times the alarm was given that the police were about to make a charge, which was followed ' 1 on the part of those who wi re determined "to make a stand" for their rights by a general scamper in all dime- Lions. One incident, which cccureil during the chair man's speech, was particularly ludicrous. A baker's curt was proceeding very quietly along the road outside the common, when it was espied by the crowd, a huge portion of whom save chase, apparently with a view of plundering its contents. The driver con trived wu neither without h i wits or his whip, and to distance his pursuers, and got safely off. Mr. Withusts, a working man, proceeded next to ad deem the assembly. He moved a resolution expressive of the sympathy of the meeting with the recent movement or the people of France and the overthrow of the go Tenement.. His speech was to a similar effect as the proceeding. He avowed himself in favour nt the five points of the charter, which he thought it Brae justifiable to obtain by terce, if other means mused lruitless. He urged on the ne cling, however, the preservation of peace and good order, which he conceived to be the more necessary, as at that time they might be said t o be talking at the point of the bayonet, there being an armed force within a hundred yards of them fully prepared to take immediate measures upon any tumultuous proceedings. He indulged in various strong elm ssions concerning the police and authorities in general, whom he accused of entertaining feelings was of tyranny and enmity towards the people. The tesolutioit carried by acclamation. Mr. lone Creme then moved a resolution M favour of universal suffrage as embodied in the people's charter.—Mr. THOIIAB CLAIMS seconded the resolution. Mr. ERNEST JONES, in supporting it, avowed himself one of the delegates who had waited on the Provisional Govern ment of France on the part of popular prineplio. Alluding in the course of his other remark , to the want of considera tion which he conceived to be manifested towards the people by the aristocracy or th's country, he raid toot the aristo cracy denied them their political rights b,uause they consi dered them to be uneducated ; but he maintaiced that they would always be ignorant ea long as the government only taught them their letters by means of the A B C divisions of police. The sentiment was received with violent approba tion, and the resolution also carried. The next resolution advocated the rights of labour, " A fair day's wages fora fair day's work," &c. It was also carried unanimously, on the motion of Mr. DICKSON, se conded by Mr. M•Geeem. The proceedings then termi nated in a vote of thanks to the chairman. Considerable confusion then ensued, caused by the general movement of the vast concourse of pemons on the commen and around it, the number of whom could not have bars less than 16,000. The mounted patrol continued as they had done during the whole of the proceedings—to march round the common. They contributed to keep the road clear, hut the confusion elsewhere was very gnat. The po'ice ware saluted with groans, yel s, and execrations, from the mob, vh o surrounded several of he houses where they were quarterted. They were not sufficiently disorderly to warrant a iy emend inter;erence on the part of the officers, a'though a serious riot seemed more than probable, and would doubt lees have ensued but for a preventative of potent force which was thrown in the way by--the weather. Rain bad been threatened all day, and indeed had fallen several times: it had, however, reserved itself until the critical moment, and now came down iii good earnest. The mob took the alarm, and hurried off in different directions, detachments of police being despatched to watch them into town, win re it was ap prehended that some disturbance might arise. All, how ever, passed off peaceably, and before four: o'clock every thing was quiet in the vicinity. Not a vestige of the mob of the morning was to be seen, and nothing was left for the police efficers but to file off to their several quitters their services, as well as those of the detective police , whogn;ingled among the mob in plainclothes, and the large body of special constah!es who had volunteered and been sworn in upon the occasion. having scarcely been called into requisition during the whole day. We did not hear that the meeting had ad journed to any particular date, but it was said that • miles of meetings of a s imilar description had been arranged to take place. INQUEST, YESTERUAT.—ALLEGED CHILD NIUE DM —By Mr. G. I. Mills, at the Victoria beer-shop, Keneal New-town (adjourned from Wednesday) on the body of a newly-born female child, which bad been found dead in the water of the Grand Junction Canal, near •he Plough-bridge, adjoining the Kensalgreen Cemetery. On the afternoon of the 3rd inst., as J. Robinson, a labourer, was proceeding along the towing-path of the canal, he observed • brown paper parcel in the water, which be got out, and, on opening it, found it to contain • dead female child. In formation was given to the police, and, on examining the brown paper, there was found on it the words, " Miss Alt wood, Mitchtldever, Hants," and also the words, " black crape," and also some initials on a kitchen table cloth ant in which the body bad been first wrapp ed. A police serge immediately forwarded a letter to that addle..., and by that mr,.ns hr traced that a your g woman, of the n tine of Fanny Attwood, 25 years of age, was living in service in Uryan sten-place, 13ryandon.aquar,, where he learned that she had been suspected of having miscarried on the 2Gth ult., but that Lething had b.en said to her on the subject, as she was on the point of leaving the situation. She was accordingly questioned by the sergeant on the subject, and admitted hiving given birth to a child which had died almat immediately after its birth. She was taken into custody on the charge of con cealing the birth, and stands remanded until Thursday next at the Maryletione Police-court. At the first sitting of the inquest, Mrs. Ommany identified the initials on the kitchen tablecloth as her own handwriting, and Mr. Abercrombie, surgeon, of Kemal New Town, deposed to haying made • pust-tiortem examination, and found no marks of violence or injury, either externally or internally, on the body, w , ich was that of • full, sauna, healthy child, born alive. The mother had evidently, not been attendril by a medical nain.—The jury, after some discuasion, returned • verdict that the dmaaed was found dead in the canal, but whether it came to its death naturally, or from the effect of violence, there was no evidence before them to show. IRELAND. 1 DtsLTN, MARCH 11. Mr. Benjamin Hawes has been returned to serve in 1 parliament for Kinsale. The meeting of the Trades Committee last even ing was very stormy. Many of the operative , classes appear in a high state of effervescence, ripe for mischief, but there is a controlling power over them in the influence of the peace doctrine, which, however derided by some, is yet a moral reality. The representatives of the three powers—Conciliation hall, confederation, and neutral citizenship meet to-day, to arrange the order of the meeting. Dr. Miley attends as an eideopus of the laudable progress of union. The Young Ireland gentry promised to inspire Manchester on the day of aggregation, but they will remain at home " to pro tect the liberty . and soil of Ireland from invasion." The procession on the 17th will be perfectly within the law. No banners—no music—and, of course, no arms. The trades will meet at their several lodges — thence proceed to Stephen's-green, where, reduced iuto sections, and each under its flag, all will move, silent as the Greeks before Troy, to the Itotundo. Then speech-making and high-resolving. The provost and board of Trinity College met on Sunday, after Divine service, when an address to the lord-lieutenant was unanimously agreed to, expres sive of confidence in I,k excellency's wisdom, and a determination to uphold the peace of the city under the trying eircumstar in which the governmer.t is placed by the armor .tablerconduct of the agitators of " yours:: " ar.d " 0.. i Ireland. iilfo7 *Li* itom.l49.Finf • T hringa re .i 1 , I i !.i i j I' g e d e s se osf the meetings of Orange lodges, and of ad of confidence in the lord-heutenant, with assurances of readiness to come forwar government d whenever required and render every support to a governme d e t e rmined to maintain the peace and order of the community. - —_--___ SCOTLAND. EDINIIVROZ, bitARCII 13. A public meeting, "to congratulate the French Republic." is to be held here on Wednesday next, Bailie Stott in the chair. Similar meetings have been in Paisley and Kilbarchan. At the Paisley meeting, the Rev. P. Brewster presided, and in the I' course of his remarks stated that there must be pro gress in politkal matters amongst ourselves. He cordially supported the principles of the charter. He was a loyal subject of good Queen Victoria. He trusted that she and her descendants wou tld e rule ov er this er thi s nation, and when the principles of h were carried into law, then Victoria would be what she ought to be, simply our servant; but if any what h descendants act otherwise, then he hoped they would be hurled from the throne like Louis Philippe. He desired a hereditary sovereign to fi ll the throne, as in that way wars might be prevented between rival claimants, but he was not in favour of a hereditary house of peers. The address voted to the French was as follows : Address from the people of Fiddler, in public meeting assembled, to the heroes of the third French Revolution. —Men of France, D e eply oympathisiug with your pot oufferingn and dieappointmenta in the muse of freedom, we congratulate you on the glorious occom plishment of another revolution, by which you have a third time won your libertine from a donotic government, and have reby eet a noble example to the reel of the world of the Breeintible might of • united people; while you bare at the Wee time amply vindi cated the sacred right of insurrecti u appeal to srmi.a the hut G of the oppressed ; for stance resi to tyranny is obedience to God. We thank you for thie heroic achievement. We receive it an the pledge of progress to the human family. It has already cheered the arte of desponding millions.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The Edinburgh special constables are to meet on Tuesday evening, when the she riff is to submit a plan for their manen t enrolment. The Mid-Lothian Yeomanry were out on Saturday, with a view of testing their readiness, and they answered promptly to the call. On Sunday the depot of the 27th Regiment (420) arrived in Edinburgh from Fort George. They are to rehire the detachment of the 71st, in Glasgow, which returns to Edinburgh forthwith. The fol lowing is the latest front Airdrie : Ilatrosor Taw a.r.—Captain Holland arrived be safety with his prisoner at the rural police station here, where • large mob immediately collected, hooting the police, and crying to attack the elation, and rescue the pi-wner. After undergoing an investigation, he was conducted to prison, amidst hootings and loud croak of " Itercere the prisoner." However, no 'lntent attempt was Mille to carry the tliteat into effect. About eight o'clock a report reached the authorities that an attack on the prism was threatened. The party of infantry woe immediately called out, and formed opposite the Court-house, and the cavalry is front of the Royal Ilotel, and the town tall rung the warning for the epeeist co nstables, who Amity murdered in red force. Dense crowds had been congregated at various parts of the town from six o'clock, and it was antlenoted that reinforcement". might Mire when the meeting of miner , at Whiflet broke up. The sheriff a& denied the crowd in front of the Royal Hotel, and desired them to disperse. The provost performed a similar duty in front of the court how., and the constables, about half - p oet eight o'clock. comMencad to disperse the crowd... The military were ordered to their quarters, and the conetables, dividedlinto pasties, marched through the town, and succeeded in dispersing them. A few stones were thrown at one party of the constabulary, and six lamps broken. By ten o'clock. I scarcely an individual was to be men on the street. The remainder of the night passed in perfect peace. The man who was taken prisoner lad night, gave his none to the pollee as John Murdoch, but thin morning be admitted that his real name was Cresson, and that he had been concerned in the riots at Getegow. llc was accordingly despatched for that sty per tint train thin mori,ing. PROVINCIAL. LANUAJI tan.. LIVERPOOLere was a great assemblge of persons on the Exchange area yesterday afternoon, b i t they were ultimately dispersed by the police. All the shops in the neighbourhood were closed, and the greatest alarm was excited; but the active measures of the authorities prevented mischief, if any was intended. CUMBERLAND. CARLISLE ELECTION.—The nomination was ap pointed to take place yesterday. A correspondent says " The division which has token place between the liberal candidates here (Mr. J. Dixon, the unseated member, and Mr. P. IL Howard, the old member for this city, who was rejected at the last general election), has produced great excitement, and at the present moment the utmost un certainty prevails as to which of those two will be the suc cessful competitor. All seem to consider the return of the rec ently unse a ted to top member, Mr. W. H Hodson, certain, nearly ail the freemen having promised him plum pers as before. There is a fourth candidate in the field, in the person of fsPDotiall, the chartist orator, who states in his address that he possesses the required property quail& cation, and that he is determined to go to the poll. His chance of success is considered very small indeed. He has been addressing assemblies in the market place, his principal theme being the charter, which he insists is the grand panacea for every grievance. ' WARWICKSHIRE. MR. lIUME AND THE INCOME TAX.—Yesterday, at Birmingham, a meeting of the inhabitants was held at the Publicotlice, for the purpose of adopting petitions in favour of Mr. Ilume's motion for the imposition of the income tax for one year only, instead of its imposition, according to the ministers' proposal, for three years. Mr. Bourne took the chair F , and resoluti sad ons moved and seconded by Mr. Dolman, Mr. ulfud other influential gentl men, were carried f lusu. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.—The first Philharmonic concert of this reason took place last evening, in the Hano ver equal* Rooms. It opined with a symphony, performed for the first time in this country, by Hesse, a composer un known to our public, but of high reputation in Germany. He is kapellmsester at Bre'lau, and is Lne of the greatest organists now living. His symphony, which is in B miaor, though not of the very highest class, is a masterly composition. The author appears to h ave modelled his style chiefly on the works of Haydn and Mozart, whom he has not only closely followed in the forms of the various movements, but in their phraseology and modes of orchestral combination, though he has made freer use of the brass instruments, which he has frequently employed with en at effect. A short introduc tion, andante, leads into the principal movement, an alle gretto, which is clear, elegant, and pleasing. There is then a vigorous scherzo, followed by a beautiful larghetto, the gem of the vymphony. The -object, which is exceedingly graceful, is entirely in the manner of Haydn, but it contains considerable novelty and many admirable effects. The finale, also in the manner of Haydn, is somewhat trivial. The symphony was well received by the audience and is a reel addition to our stock of good orchestral music, the mere to be valued as such additions are very seldom made. Mies A. Will then wing the scena in Spithr's " Azor and Zensira," con taining the re ltative, " Dare I believe my senees ?" and the air, " Gentle thoughts." She acquitted herself admirably, especially in the air, and was warmly applauded. Beetho ven s Concerto for the pianoforte in E fiat, which was played by Mrs. Anderson, is well known to the frequenters of these concerts ; but it is one of those great works which gain upon repetition, however frequent, and we have never heard it produce a greater effect than on this oc casion. Mademoiselle Alboni sang the beautiful air, "Vox the sapete," from " Figaro," which was encored. She showed great judgment in the respect she paid to Mo zart's text, which she gave with the utmost simplicity, and with the slightest change or embellishment. We wish Italian singers were more generally aware that this is the true manner of singing Mozart's music. The overture to " Euryanthe " made a splendid finale to the first part of the concert —The second part commenced with Mendelssohn's second symphony in A, composed far the Philharmonic Society, but not performed for same years. It has, indeed, been too much neglected, fir it is oneof the greatest worksof its class. Every movement is marked with the stamp of Mendelasobesi genius; and it continues to rise in interest and effect to the very end. The " Andante con moto " is exquisitely beautiful. Its theme, which is wild and melancholy, has the character of a Danish or Swedish melody—a quaint, antique strain, which breathes through all the changes or a highly-wrought movement. The minuet and trio are in the comparatively slow time of the older symphony writers, and are deliciously sweet and flowing. The trio, however, would reguire nicer execution from some of the torus instruments. The finale is in the style of a Neapolitan Tarantella, giving the idea of a company of revellers whirling in the mazes of a dance, the impetuous rapidity of which is mingled with the utmost grace and lightness. NVe believe that the composer himself was not satisfied with this concluding movement, and ex pressed an intention of altering or re-writing it; but we are glad, we confers, that it Las been allowed to stand as it is, fig it etOtal4 beak, we think, have been altered See the TUE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EYENING, MARCH 14, 1848. batter. Mlle. Alboni sang the air, " Penni albs patria," from the " It&liana in Algieri," with great brilliancy. M. Baiston than performed a concertino on the violin, composed by h i mse lf—a very pleasing piece, admirably executed. that, Min A. Williams and Mlle. Alboni sang the duet, Serbami Griot si tido," from " Beiniramide ;" and Beetho ven's overture, "The Men of Prometheus," concluded the concert. The room was very full ; and the new arrange ment of the seats, whereby marred seats for the subscribers are mingled with fres seats for the rest of the audience, ap peared to give general satisfaction. Mc Mum. FRENCII. PLATS, ST. JAlleli'S TttltATßE.—Mdlle. Nathalie, who is proceeding through the last week but one of her engagement, appeared last night in a new piece of a very amusing character, entitled Le pee& aux Beausperes. The details of the plot are too complicated to be described in the limited space at our disposal. A young girl, who has been indebted for her earlier subsistence to a family now in decay, applies all her ingenuity to the obtaining, ft,r the sole surviving ion of her ben.tfactore, a rich heiress, as the means of restoring his fallen fortunes, and in this design she ultimately succeeds, aided by a lover of hers, a worthy young tailor. 7he piece was capitally acted, Nathalie baring as her coadjutors Cartigny, Ineset, Moataland, Lucien, &c. There was a tolerable Lowe, but theatre are undergoing the lame depression to which, at the present juncture, all mun dane things around us are subjected. INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD cuacurr.—STATFORD, MARCH 13. Before Yr. Jes Us. Creswell. CUTTING AND WOUNDING AT LIAR W CASA.— tachard flubs' wu indicted for having cut and wounded one John Smith, of Leaks. he being a gamekeeper, in the service of the Earl of Macclesf i e ld. It appeared that on the night on whic h the offence was committed Smith was in company withseveral other gamekeepers, at a place called Switherly Roads, in the manor of Rudyard. The prisoner, with several other persons, came up. Stones were thrown at the gamekeepers, and Smith received so severe a blow that he fell to the ground. The prisoner and another man aniodeki‘cekreed ly hi i ni ni . ure li d ls om fa t ce t, w w as .a c e u na t, b a le nd to h d e o an wu y cs. w t o bm r e k erirm fo i"p r two 11 1 '11eins. The morning after this occurred the place was examined, and a number of nets, such as are usually employed for taking hares, were found. Prisoner, in defence, said that before any stones had been thrown the gamekeepen let loose a great dog as big as a calf at him and his party.—A witness named Naden, also a gamekeeper, denied this; but he su bsequently admitted that the dog was let !owe after Smith had been knocked down.—The Judge said it did not appear that there had bees any intention on the part of the prisoner to "maim or disfigure," as charged in the ind:ctment, or "to do grievous tridily harm." There was no doubt that a gross assault bad been committed, still the intention might only have been to give the keepers a sound :thrashing.— Guilly of a common assault—twelve months' imprisonment. —The prisoner's three companions were found guilty of this offence at the last essises.—There are 25 causes on the list ; three are special juries. Those disposed of to-day were desti tute of public interest. - • NOUFOLK CIRCUIT.—BaDrOItD, Menem 13. Nisi Panic—Before Mr V. Pollock. °IMMO' O. LiAIIIIIB.—SLANDSR. Tee defendant wort charged with circulating a report that the plaintiff set tire to his stock and premises, with intent to defraud the Sun Fire office.—The plaintiff (ar. Gilbert) is a farmer. In October be went with his wife to pay a visit to Wavendon, in Bucks, and when they returned home at 10 o'clock he found that his pre mises and stock were on lire. The defendant is a butcher , and keeps a chandler's shop at Wavendon.and others At a nversa tion bet ty en Mr. Wilson, Mr. Hari:, , the de fendant asked Mr. Wilson if he had heard the report that Mr. Gilbert had sot fire to his own premises ? This won the slander complained of. It was proved in evidence that Mr. Gilbert suffered a loss of 1,3001. and was insured for only 1,0001. If the buildings were re-erected by the Duke of Bedford the plaintiff would be put to the expense of 1001. for carting. Mr. Gilbert must therefore have been a great loser by the tire.—Mr. Serjeset Bele+ having addressed the jury fur the lietendaut, the learned Judge put it to the jury whether Harris intended injury by circulating the report.— , The jury found the defendant Guilty of slander,: but sic lquitted him of malicious intentions. CRUII, Comm—Before Mr. Juistioe Coltmsa, James S.ith, aged 27. Joseph Cooper, aged 18, and "sneer White, aged 23, were charged with stealing 13Ibs. of pork, the property of George Burley, at Cranfield, in this county. Mr. Worlledge defended t he p risoners. Mr. Justice Coltman, there being u.o counsel for the proureu tion, examined the witnesses, and front the e vidence thus elicited it appeared that Mr. Barley having during the week bought tile pork in question of a friend who kept a heershop calledthe Crow, proceeded there on Saturday evening, the 11th of January, to bring it home, in company uith his wife. Of course the bargain could not be a dry one, and Mr. B .rley, who has a weak head drank his muses quite out of both head and leas, and in that condition he and his good lady started to go home, with the pork wrapped up in a blue pocket handkerchief. Mrs. Burley, as might be expected, bad enough to du to convoy her husband and pork home in safety, especially as a witness who was called for the pri soners stwid that she appeared to be quite as drunk as her lord and master, who at one time fell down fiat on the ground, while she rolled over his prostrate from, and tossed the pork out of her basket. At length, however, the Imppy couple arrived at their door, where they sow the three prisoners standing in the road. Here another difficulty arose, fur neither Mr. nor Mrs. Burley was able to open the door; and the prisoners admitted them within their own hnwe by breaking open their own door for Vain. This done, the whole party entered the keeping-room, who re the prosecutor fi II fast asleep in his "old arm chair," while Mrs. Burley deposited her park in • closet. In a few moments aft, r she saw Cooper go out of the back door with something under his arm, and shortly after the other pri soners quitted the house by the front door. In about a quarter of an hour Mrs. Burley missed the pork, and on the following day, a dog hunted it up in a hedge at the back of the house, in a spot which Cooper, if he had carried it out with him, would have pained on the preceding evening. Under these circumstances the three prison( ro were all taken into custody ; end in answer to the charge it was shown, so Wine stated, that Mrs. Burley was as b .d as her husband, though she denied it emphatically, and t h at she had tell the constable that all 'he prisoners were gone when she had got home ; while several very respectable people gave them an excellent character. Mr. Wornedge having addressed the jury for the priaoners3Mr. Justice Coltman summed up the evidence, leaving it to the jury to lay whe ther thi y had such reasonable certainty that the prisoners hail taken the pork, as to outweigh their character and the contradictions which had been given to the evidence of Mrs. Burley. The jury at once acquitted all the prisoners. MIDLAND CIRCUIT:—NOTTINGIIAM, MARCH 11. The commission for the town and county of Nottingham was opened on Thursday, and business was proceeded with yesterday. There is only one undefended cause in the list. In the borough there were 19 prieenen, and in the county 29, bat most of the caws were of an ordinary description. There was one charge of murder. THE (WREN V MELVILLR.—LIRRL.— The prieoner, a commercial traveller, was indicted fer a libel on a young woman, named Annie Wilson, the daughter of the landlord ,of the Rain Inn, in Nottingham. It appeared that he had paid his addresses to the young woman in question, but had been refused. In the month of September an advertisement appeared in the Nottingham Journal of a very coarse de scription, in which the name of Miss Wilson was introduced in the m o st disgustiog terms, and the defendant's name was appended to it. It was proved that on the same paper on which the advertisement was written, was a note to the editor, purporting to be written by the defendant, and requesting its insertion. On the pert of the prisoner it was denied that either the advertise meat or the note were is his handwriting. It was proved that as soon u the advertise ment appeared the prisoner sent to the parents of Miss Wil son a denial of his having written er sent the advertisement, and termed his great regret that it should have appeared. The proof as to the handwriting was very contradictory, and there was a verdict of acquittal. - - ITS POLICE. -Y WORSHIP-ST REET. _E xTENS eereelh ROBBERY.— Wit a. lines Strickland was charged with having been con cerned with others iu breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. James Pullen, in Brudenell-place, Sew North.rosd, Hereon, and stealing therefrom stock receipts and other valuiblo property to the amount of 7001.—Julia Callaghan, housemaid to the prosecutor, stated that her master went out on the preceding evening. leaving her in care of the premises , and anon after his depar ture the premier, with whom she had for some time carried on. clandestine acquaintance, came to the house and invited ht rto take a walk with him. She objected to do so, as her mutter had taken the key of the street door with him, but the prisoner said that she could easily obviate that difficulty by leaving the dour upon the latch, and that he would himself get in at the parlour window, when they returned to open it for her. Witness at length yielded to his importunities, and proceeded down to the kitchen for the purpose of changing her dress, but had no sooner reached it than she heard the street-door open and a eon of muffling noise in the passage whore she had lelt the prisoner. She did not take any notice of the eireumstance at the t;iiie, but sicompanied the prisoner to two or three pub. lic-houses in the neighbourhood, where he said he expected to meet a friend, and in the coure of their conversation he put. several questions to hos respecting her master's property, and particularly inquired whether he did not keep "lots of money" in the house. They returned together in about on hour, and the pirsoner admitted himself at the parlour window, which had been purposely left unfastened, but several minutes eloped before he opened the street door, and he accounted for the delay by statii g that he had accidentally s t u mbled over a chair. 01 . entering the houseshe immediately discovered that it had been ransacked by thieves, and hastened to call the prisoner, who had promised to wait for her out sole, but found that lie hod disappeared, and she saw no mere of hint until he was taken into custody.—The l rose cutor dated that he reached home at eleven o'clock, when his servant apprised him of the robbery, and on examining the different apartments he ascertained that his cash box and several drawers had been broken own, and, besides various valuable securities and important documents,, that a quantity of plate and other property bad been stolen. The prisoner was traced the .ame night by a po'icenian to a lodg ing-house in Shoreditch, and taken into custody.—The ri soner, who denied all knowledge of the robbery, was p re manded for a week. LAMBETH. —Onuses Itonneny. John Williams, printer, and George Smith, tailor , were charged with break ing in the shop front of Mr. Robert Creamy, a boot and shoe maker, in Southampton atreet,and st, along therefrom several pairs of boots and shoes.—Samuel ,V alters deposed that, about half-past 12 o'cleck yesterday, be was in Southampton street, Walworth, and saw a mob of about 400 persons come along. The prisoner., who were amongst the crowd, h ad ad each of them a stick, and he saw both of them go up o shop front of Mr. Creassy and strike at the windows. They dashed toe ron in, and, on thi ir accomplishing this, he FON them take f out t of the shop several pairs of boots and shoes, and put them in different parts of their dr,ss. The mob then went away, and he heard the prisoners say, " three We had better warms " (go off ; and they and others proceeded in a different way from the mob. The witness kept them in sight until he met a constable, and p ,inttd them out as two of the ringleaders of those who robbed the shoo of Mr. Creassy. They were thin taken into custody.-00 Smith were found a pair of Bluchrr boots and six pairs of shoes; and on Williams a pair of shoes.— Mr. J. Pulman, residing next door to the lost witness, de posed that the mob smashed his windows, and he distinctly saw the prisoner Smith take a psrasol from inside the win dow. The other prisoner, Williams, was present at the time. Several of the mob, and the prisoner amongst them, were about to rush into his shop, when he placed himself in the door, end declared he should run a cane-sword, with which he had armed himself, through the first person who attempted to enter. This had the desired effect, m for none attempted to enter, but all scampered off.— Themagistrates remanded the prisoners. HAMMERSMITH. SPECIAL CONSTABLES. There being a number of persons in attendance for the pur pose of being sworn in as special constables, Mr. Beadon said that he had received no instructions from the Home office to do go, neither had any of the other magistrates on the Middlesex side of the water.

THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION uv LONDON v. Till ATTORNIST GENERAL—RIGHT TO TOO SOIL AND SHORES OF THE RIVER TIIIIMEIL—JURIBDICTION.—This appeal against an order of the Master of the Rolls, overruling a de murrer put in by the appellants to an information filed against them questioning their right to grant licenses to raise embankments and works on the Thames, was opened on Tues day, Mr. Bethell and Mr. Seri. Channell were heard for the appellants ; Mr. Turner and Mr. htaule for the Attorney- General. The former contended that the matter in dispiee, being the right to the soil and freehold of the shores of the not r i v er, was a proper question for a court of law, and matter of equity ; but if it should appear to be a case for equity, the Court of Exchequer was the proper tribunal as a court of revenue, whose equity jurisdiction for that purpose they submitted that court still retained, notwithstanding the transfer of its general equity jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery by a recent act of parliament. — The counsel for the crown denied these propositions.—Mr. Bethell now replicd.—The Lord Chancellor said it was not necessary to give any opinion whether the equity jurisdic tion of the Exchequer was completely transferred to Chan cery or not. The information charged that the mayor and commonalty being mere bailiffs and con:creators of the river had abused their duty, which WAS merely fiduciary, in tak ing on themselves to grant licenses to parties to embank the river to the prejudice of the rights of the crown. The demurrer must be taken to admit that charge. The ap pellants would, however, be entitled at the hearing of the cause to urge the objection to the jurisdiction, and to con tend that the question was one for a court of haw. And if that objection was to be properly raised and supported, the court would yield to it. The demurrer was properly over ruled, and the appeal must he dismissed.—Lord Campbell expressed his concurrence ; and the order of the Master of the Rolls was affirmed without costs. GRAHAM V. MACKAT.—SMALL DEBTS COURTS JUDO NEST FINAL.—This was an appeal against an interlocutor of the Court of Session in Scotland, sustaining the jurisdic tion of a small debts court as final and conclusive.—Mr. Auderson,sole counsel for the appellant, applied that the case might stand over at that late hour (near 3 o'clock), as he had to attend a committee of the House of Commons.—Lord Campbell maid the committee would hold him excused if in formed that he was doing his duty here; at all events he might rely on the protection of this house.—Mr. Ander-on then proceeded, and stated that the appellant lived in Fife shire, and a summons had been issued against him from a court for recovering small debts in Sutherlandsnire. He never received the summons, but he afterwards was informed that a judgment had been given against him, and a debt due to him in Sutherlprolshire arrested in liquidation of that judgment. He then instituted a suit in the court of session to reduce the said judgment. The defendant to that suit objected that the email debts court judgment was boa! and conclusive under the statute constituting these courts. The Lord Or.inary (Ivory) was of opinion that the statute did not apply to a judgment obtained as this was, but his opinion was overruled by three of the four judges of the inner division of the court. The appeal was against their judgment.--Mr. Anderson contended that the statute did nut apply under the circumstances, and that the Court of Session had jurisdiction to reduce the judgment of the Small Debts Court.—There appeared no counsel en the other side.—The Lord Chancellor and Lord Campbell seve rally expressed their opinions that the appellant. though he might have appealed to the Court of J usticiary, was pre cluded by the statute from resorting to the Court of Session, wh.se jurisdiction WV expressly taken away by the statute. —The judgment of the Court of Session was affirmed, with Coats. EQUI'IY uo &MTS. Before the Master of the Rolla PIACOCI. V. PENVON.—SPECIFIC PERPORNMCCIL—This suit was instituted for the specific performance of &contract entered into by the defendant with the plaintiff, to sell to The latter a lot of freehold ground at Upper Holloway. It was contended on behalf of the plaintiff, that part of the contract was to make a road to the pi,ce of ground in ques tion over some leasehold ground belonging to the defendant, but which read, the defendant said, he could net make with out incurring a forfeiture of his lease. He was willing to make ample compensation, and he contended that the road was not essential to the enjoyment of the plaintiff's pur chase.—Messrs. Glues, Anderdon, and Lloyd, were heard for different parties, but the case was not concluded. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. Before D. C. Moyle's, E.g : , ledge. BEEcrtin e. Jamits.—Srualso Idoasis.—This was an action brought by Captain Beecher, the weltknown steeple chase rider, to recover of the defendant, Mr. Edwin James, the berrister,the sum of 201., balance due on a horse.—Some time back the plaintiff had a bay mare for sale, which was seen pur cha s e r ames. The latter expressed a wish to become the and he (Capt. Beecher) sold it to him for 301. The learned gentleman paid him 101. on account ; and, not being ahle to obtain the balance, as the learned gentleman declared the animal was not according to the warranty, he had been compelled to adopt the present proceedings to re cover the balance.—The plaintiff was crossexamined by Mr. Robson, for the defendant, and denied positively that he had given any warranty with the horse. It was sold, with all fault., for the sum agreed upon.—Mr. Robson said that as soon u Mr. James got the horse into the country he found it was a regular bad one, and totally uselesa to him. He sent it up again to Aldridge's repository for sale, and it only fetched 71. 10s. It was under the impression that he had been imposed upon that he refused to pay. The plaintiff having denied that he gave any warranty with the animal, I he, of course, in the absence of Mr. James, could not prove the contrary.—The plaintiff denied that he had imposed upon Mr. James that gentleman was a good judge of horse-flesh, and not easily to be taken in. (Laughter.)—An award was made in favour of the plaintiff for the sum surprised on arriving at the Wandsworth court at the usual I hour of 10 o'clock. to find full 200 persons waiting to be sworn, no intimation of the kind having been sent to him. lie mutt therefore decline swearing the parties in. The whole of the persons waiting thereupon left the court. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY ISTIMINO. The less exciting =tale of the continental accounts this morning had a correspondingly tranquil effect on the funds during the greater part of the day. Con sole remained, until tie close of business, nearly stationary at 801 to 1, the only variations being from those rates to higher. Ttiey left off at 80i to for money and account, but subsequently, out of regular business hours, they are said to have been done higher, and quoted 81 buyers. The state of the account has begun to exercise considerable influence now upon the dealings, and the understanding that it is decidedly of a " beer" tendency, that is, that the speculators for the fall have oversold themselves, whilst at the same time money stock not only is scarce but with every appearance of continuing so, will in such case assist in supporting prices, or interpose probably with some effect in pre venting auy material fall which the course of political events might otherwise occasion. The transactions were decidedly lees active to-day ; but there is reason to suppose that parties for the fall were taking the opportunity during and late in the day of quietly checking their operations by purchases, even at the advanced rates last referred to. Exchequer Bills were 28s. to 30s. prem.; India Bonds, 10s. to 14s. prem. The arrival of a vessel direct_ from Vera Cruz, which she left on the .sth ult. led to some expecta tions of more positive intelligence respecting the affairs of that republic in the favourable sense of the' restoration of peace, and the bonds in consequence advanced about per cent., being quoted, for a short time only however, at 141 to 151. The expectation was however not realised by the correspondence re ceived, and prices went back therefore to 14 to notwithstanding that strong efforts were not wanting to support the market. There was no disposition, however, apparent in any quarter to " back ' opinion ' by purchases to any exteut, and dealers were the less 3 inclined to operate, moreover, from the knowledge 9 , that large amounts of the bonds purchased some short t; time since at much higher prices were under hypothe cation to nearly their full worth at present rates, and must be thrown on the market for sale at auy price cm or before the account day, now nearly on, unless redeemed, or that the holders may be induced to eon- i tinue the loans upon additional guarantees in hand for a further period. Spanish Fives were called 11!: to 12 ; the Threes, 22 to 1 , ; Passive, 21 to 31. l'ortuguese, 14; to 151. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 40 to 2; the Fours, 59 to 61. Venezuela, 115 to 18. The extraordinary fall in Vcnezolano Bonds, which some weeks since were (puled 36 to 38, must natu rally excite some surprise. The late &deices f-om that republic were sufficiently discouraging. The chief city of Caracas was left in a state of convul sion or revolution, the very members of congress en gaged in fighting, and cutting each other's throats, and the combat of parties extending from their halls into the streets of the city. Monagas, the president, and the party supporting him, appeared then to have the advantage, but old General Paez, the real founder and protector of the republic, was said to be in march for the city at the head of 7,000 of his Dancros, a class of men answering to the Gauchos of the Argen tine Pampas, who have always hitherto given the law, and have never yet been other than victorious. But that which weighs more particularly upon the ' value of the Vcnezolano stock is the failure to the payment of the dividends. The last dividend was not satisfied because of the insolvency of Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co., the agents, who had the funds in whole or in great part remitted to them for the pur pose. Another dividend falls due on the Ist of next month, and it is understood there are oat funds here to meet it. This young state has heretofore been so punctual that the second lapse, the first being un avoidable, and not imputable to it, has created the greater discouragement. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Kingston and Co., West India merchants, who suspended payment some short time since, was held to-day. The liabilities are understood to be from 20,0001. to 30,0001., and the assets, from the accounts presented, were considerably in excessrbut consisting partly in West India estates. Inspectors were appointed to overlook and wind up the estate. The estate of Messrs. Lesley Alexander and William Bardgett, which at first was agreed to be wound up under inspection, has been since carried to the Bankruptcy Court. We refer our readers to our report under that head for a copy of the balance sheet, prepared by Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Crosbie, accountants. We learn from Scotland that the Glasgow banks have agreed to allow 4 per cent, interest on permanent deposits, and 31 per cent. on current accounts. Exotic!' FDNDA. Bank Rock, abut Loot Anne.. elp.
