on the revenue; and the first they would have to inquire into would be the case of the ship Rambler, which in 1841 brought over from Odeon 328 balm of flue wool consigned to the firm of Messrs. Brookes, and warehoused by the defen dants. Upon that consignment the defendants had made the sum of 2261. over and above that which they were fairly entitled to. by paying the Customs a halfpenny per lb. duty (which was the duty upon coarse wool under Is. per lb. value), and representing to Messrs. Brookes that they had paid a penny per lb., charging them accordingly. They would hear from a witness of the name of Priest the manner in which this and other frauds had been effected. The follow ing witnesses were then called on behalf of the prosecution : Edward Couchsr, examined by Mr. Clarkson : I have been many years a landing wait r and searcher at the Custom house an London. Upon the arrival of a cargo of wool, it is the duty of the master of the vessel to make a report of the marks and number of the goods to the Custom-house. The owner of the goods then elects either to pay the duty at since or to warehouse them; if the latter, he has a warehousing entry given bins. The defendant have warehouses at Steel yard, Thames-street, and one at Leadenbalestreet If goods came by the ship Rambler, and if they were to be wore housed, the defendants would have a warehousing entry. (The witneu here read the warehousing entry, and &waren(' the different hands it passed through when the goods were landed.) Upon bales Icing landed, it is the custom in cargoes of wool to put marks and numbers on them in rots tion, the initials of the, ship and the master. After the package is weighed the weight is marked on each package. If the owner wishes them to be taken out on payment of duty, he would have to go through certain forms in the long room. If the owners wished to wit draw part of these on payment of duty, they would prepare a paper themselves or their agents would do so), which is called a duty o f entry. (The witness here read a duty pied entry of the ehip Rumbler.) When the duty paid warrant has paned the long room, it would be for- 1 warded to the lending surveyor, who would examine the wool, and if he lensed it to be of the qwelity deeeribed he would write " approved" on the warrant, and then an order would issue to the locker to deliver out the minds. The dif ference between wool where it is above Is. and below Is. per lb. in value is this : that in the case where it is above Is. the ender for delivery is made out at once, and the landing sur veyor does not examine it. There are different hours for opening bonded warehouses in summer and winter, and until the locker comes the parties to whom the warehouses belong ought not to be there.—Cron-examined by Mr. Senjcant Tal fourd • When the goods arrive the bales of wool at. marked with a brush at the Queen's Beam, where they are weighed. The whanioger usually employs a party to weigh the bales. There would be two marks on the bales; the manifest mark which comes ever on the bde from abroad and the import mark. Sometimes the warehouseman gets the goods out of bond, or the consignee himself. When the landiegsurveyor finds out that the wool is entered at a false value he may take ' it for the use of the Mill, and pay the importer the declared value, and 10 per cent. added to it.—Crotrexamined by Mr. Serjeant Sheo : The mark put on by the marker is done with a brush, and very quickly. The weight of each bale varies very considerably. The lo.ker is an officer of the Customs. Nothing ought to bo entered in or oi•t of the bonded ware houses without his knowledge and sanction. The locker has a book in which he keeps a record of the number of bales and the total number of pour.ds. It is the duty of the locker to see that the cargo of each ship is kept separate, and it ought not to be moved without his consent.—Re examined by Mr. Watson What the locker looks at on the bale is the Custom-house mark only. Mr. Charles Peters, examined by Mr. Watson: I was formerly one of the computers in the long room. lam now superannuated. This warehousing entry that I have in my hand has my initials on it. This entry is for part of the wool that came over by the Rambler. After the warehousing entry is signed by the collector it becomes a warrant to the landing waiter to land the goods into the warehou-e. It would be a warrant to land the 328 bales of wool r Ram bler into the bonded warehouses of Messrs. Gocch and Cou sins. (Tho warehousing entry of 328 bales per Rambler was here put in and reed.)—Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee : A copy is kept of the warehousing entry at the Custom-house. Wm. Willimot, examined by Mr. Clarkson : I am now 20111070 W in the long room. In May, 1841, I was collector of duties. Those six documents are duty-paid entries of the 328 bales of wool per Rambler. The duty paid. on those bales was a halfpenny per lb. We do not receive cheque* at the Custom-house. Wm. Rushton, examined by Mr. Clarkson—l am a landing eurveyor at the Custom-house. Thou six duty paid entries bear my initials, which show that I examined and approved the wool contained in the 328 bah s per Rambler. It was :muse wool. I know both the defendants. I have some times seen Mr. Gooch and sometimes Mr. Cousins at Steel yard. (The six duty-paid entries of the 328 bales per Rambler were here put in and read.)—Cross-examined by Serjeant Talfourd : I will not swear positively that 1 ever saw Mr. Gooch at Steel-yard. II I had had any suspicion I should have examined several of the bates.—Cross-examined by Serjeant Shee : The locker ia a person comparatively in a humble station of life. Samuel Collins, examined by Mr. Bodkin : t was formerly clerk to Mesas. Brookes, who are wool-brokers, at King's arms-yard. They imported large quantities of wool, which was warehoused by the defendants. A pass-book was kept between Messrs. Brookes and the defendants. That book oontains the receipt into the defendant' warehouses of 328 bales of wool per Rambler, which was taken out by our house, from time to time, for home consumption. (The witness here read the charge* made by the defend ants for doty paid on the 328 bales per Rambler, all of which were charged at a penny in the pound. When the account was settled in June the defendants were paid the duty on the 328 bales at the rate of Id. in the poured. At this time I was in the habit of going daily to Steel-yard. know both the defendants, and have seen them both at Steel-yard. I have seen the (defendants write their signs turn. I have seen Mr. Gooch write oftener than Mr. Cousin*. The accounts were always settled at our counting house. Mr. Gooch Came generally. The receipt for a cheque paid to the defendant', on the sth of June, which appear in this book (the witness had the pass-book before him) is in one of the defendant's handwritings. This ware housing entry of the 328 bales is in the handwriting of one of the defendant's clerks. The home consumption entry, that is the filling up, is like Mr. Gooch's handwriting, and so is the filling up of the other five home-consumption entries of the Rambler's wool.—Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Talfoind : I am not able positively to tell the difference of Mr. Gooch's and Mr. Cousin's handwriting. The stiffer handwriting is, I think, Mr. Gooch's. lam of that opinion because there is more of his handwriting is the pass-book than Mr. Cousin's. I have only seen Mr. Gooch sign his name. The defendants had two or three other warehouses besides thou at Steel-yard and Leadenhall. They hag one at London-wall. Mr. Gooch conducted the business there. I have seen Mr. Gooch at Steel-yard many times. The defendants have had very large transactions wilt Messrs. Brookes, and still do a considerable business oith them. There were floors in the defendants' ware houses appropriated to Messrs. Brookes's wools. Merino wool varies considerably in quality. I have known mesino wont to be so low in quality that it was a matter of uncer tainty whether it was above or below the value of a shilling a pound ; but I don't remember sue le a thing to have hap pened to the defendants. The wools w hi c h came b 7 t h e Rambler were fine wools.—Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee: The warehouse at Steel-yard is as large as this court, I should think. The wool is piled up in bales, only leaving room t 3 pees through the warehouse. There his been as much as 100,00431. worth of wool which has passed through the defendants' hands, belonging to Mears. Brookes and Co., in 'ho course of the year. I think the entry in the pose-book concerning the we:l,l of the Rambler is in the hend writiue of one of the defendant , ' clerks. Charles J. Priest, examined by Mr. Watson: In 1841 I was foreman to the defendante. I first went into their em ploy in 1839. I was at Steelyard. I know both the defend ants. I have seen them breh at Steelyard. I remember a cargo of woel coming from Olessa, by the Rambler, in 1841 it tens fine wool, worth more than a shilling per pound. There was also, at the Fame time, some wool brought over by the British Qecen ; that was meanie wool, worth about 7d. per pound. It belonged to the firm of " Rally Brothers." The wool of the Rambler was piled on a dark floor. The wool by the British Queen was piled on a different floor to the Rambler's wool. I remember the lending eurveyor cocaine down and saying, he bad an order to see the wool which had come by the Rambler. At that time the foreman at Steelyard was a man named Simon Reamed- Re pre pared come of the cosine Donseoi wool of the British Queen to show the surveyor as the Rambler's wool. I subsequently helped to cut out the marks of the British Queen's bales. I put the marks so tut out away, to prevent their being seen. 1 acted under the orders of Simon llodinot. We cut out the merchant's mark, the manifest mark, and the Customs meek, from the hales of the British Queen, and put ten the Rambler's marks. When the lock• is order carne we delivered the fine wool of the Rambler to Meson. Brookes. I got no extra pay for doing this. but more work to do. I left the defendants' service in 1815 through illness. I have worked in the ware lanuee often at illegal hours, at 9 and 10 o'cleck at night. We got in through the connivance of the defendants. On those occasions I have seen the defendant Cousins there more fraqueutly than Mr. Gooch; the former had a house ad joining the warehouse in Steel yard. I have seen both the defendants present when the surveyor come to see these bales, which appeared to be the bales of the Rambler's wools.—Cross-esamined by Mr. Serjeant Talfourd : In 1941 I first saw these pieces cut out of the hales of the ' British Queen by the foreman, Simon Hodinot, and a man called Jas. Donoghue. It was during eminess hones that this was done; but the locker was down in his counting-house. 1 saw Ifodinot and Donoghue, with a paper in their hands, which I knew they could have got from no where else than the ceunting-house. That was the first paper I saw, but I have seen other pipers in the count ing-house. Simun liodinot and Jas. Donoghue prepared 40 bales of the British Queen for the surveyor to see; they either cut tbo pieces out, and made it appear as if the bales had been torn, or newt d a piece over the marks. The real Rambler's bales were on a 11110 f above the bales of the British Queen. Subsequently, I was employed to remove the marks of the bales. The warehouse was locked up by the locker at 4 o'clock, when he left. On the first occasion , we got in by • man being left in the warehouse ; he had merely to pull a bolt, and that would open the loop - bole door, and we could ell get in. I have often unscrewed the locks and got into the warehow e. These pieces, which have ' been cut out of the British Queen bales, and which are pro. deiced here to-day, I took home with me. I took these pieces myself to the Custom-house, of my own accord, in 1847. I have seen about from 150 to 2W of the British Queen's bales made to appear like the bales ot the Rambler. I have no doubt Mr. Hughes, the defendants' principal auk, most have known of these things going on.—Cross examined by hie. Serjeant Shee: I had these piece* about 7or 8 months before I took them to the Customhouse. Our orders were to remove ail marks ; but, when the weight of a bale of the Rambler corresponded with the weight of a bale of the British Queen, it, wee not neesnary to cut it out. We always made the weight correspond with the weight in the landing surveyor's warrant. Perhaps if there wait an 0 in a number we added a tail to it, and made a 9 of it. I sometimes used tte brush myself. The fresh marks were put on with hatter's ones o n es we cut pieces out of the bales we sewed fresh ones on, and the landing surveyor would ampule that they had been torn on board the ship and mended. Ido not remember that I was asked in the Court of Exchequer the other day how we got into the warehouse.—Reexamined by Mr. Watson : Simon Hodinot, James Donoghue. and a man named Langley are now in the service of the defendants. The paper which wu sent us out of the counting-house contained, directions bow we were to alter the bales and what numbers were to be put on them.—By a Jurymen On what floor was the door the bolt of which you say was unscrewed i—The witness ex plained that the door in question was on the top floor ; and also the other different places by which they were enabled to get into the warehouse after working hours. James Taylor examined by arf, and assisted in unloading Mr. Clarkson : In 1841 I wu working at Mark Brown's wh the British Queen. I marked some of the baled (the marks, which had been cut out, were here handed to the witness). Those six aro my marking.--Croes-ixamined by Mr. flerj. Talfourd : The marking Wit dune with a brush and ink. James Lloyd, examined by Mr. Clarkson, proved that he had marked three of the boles of the British Queen, and identified the pieces which had been cut out. He also stated that he was at work at Brown's wharf at the same time as the former witness. Taylor. This closed the case so far Si regarded the wools brought over by the Rambler. The next case was that of 77 bales of eluep's wool brought over by the ship Margaret, consigned to Nesul. Brookes. Is support of the 'second charge, the first witness called was Mr. Goodyear, who was examined by Mr. CI irkson, but be merely proved the warehousing entry of tho 77 bales 1 of wool. Mr. Parsons, the landing-surveyor, proved the home con sumption entry of this wool, and that it was valued at less thin Is. per pound, and the duty was paid accordingly. Mr. Collins, the clerk of Mess's. Brookes, was re-called, and showed by the pass-book that the duty was charged on these 77 bales at Id. per pound , and that blessrs. Brookes had paid that charge to Gooch and Cousins.—The witness Priest was also recalled, and stated that the wool which came over by the Margaret was fine wool, worth more than Is. per pound, and tae defendants marked 30 or 40 halal of coarse wool, belonging to the firm of Rally Brothers, to make it appear as if it were the wool of the Margaret.—This closed the ease with regard to the Margaret. The remaining 17 alleged frauds were then proceeded with, ind proved by the office es of the Customs who were called in the case of the " Rambler," from whose evidence it appeared that in all but two of the cases the duty which hail been paid was 4d. per pound. The two exceptions were, 99 bales of fine wool brought over from Gams by the "Rowena," and 248 bake by the "City of Rochester;' and and it appeared that part of the cargoes of these vessels had paid the proper duty of Id. per pound, and were so charged the consignees, Messrs. Brookes. Mr. Samuel Collin', their termer clerk, was maned several rimer, end proved from the pass-book that, omitting part of the cargoes of the Rowena and the City of Rochester, Messrs. Brookes bad been charged at the rote of a penny per pound for duty on all those goods which the Custom-house officers had stated paid only one halfpenny. Out of the 19 occasions on which the defendants hail cheated the revenue and their customer, 14 of the consignments we believe were to Messrs. Brookes, the remaining 5 being importati ma of wool made by the firms of Godfrey and Simpson and Elmalie and Stokes. To =nu frauds, Mr. Simpson and a clerk from the firm of and Stokes were called, and they each stated that they had been respectively charged a penny a pound by the defendants for duty upon wool which had only paid one halfpenny. This was the case on behalf of the prosecution. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, as counsel for the defendant Gooch, submitted that the indictment could not be sustained. Mr. Serjeant Shee on behalf of the defendant Cousins, re pealed the same objections ; but his lordship said he thought the case must go to the jury. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd ad dressed the jury on behalf of Mr. Gooch, and Mr. Serjea nt Shea, on behalf of the defendant Cousins. The following witnesses were then called for the defen dants:— Mr. Hughes, examined by Mr. Keating : I have been a clerk in the employ of the defendants for 22 years. In 1840 I went to Steelyard. I remember Priest bring in the service of the defendants. In 1841 the defendants had a cargo of wool at Steelyard, which had come over from Odessa in the Rambler. There was also a cargo there from the British Queen, consigned to Messrs. Reny. I never gave any directions to any servant of the defendants to alter the marks on the bales of the British Queen. I never wrote on a piece of paper the merits that were to be put on the balm I never knew of any such orders being given. It would have been impossible to alter marks on the bales of the British Queen without my know ledge, for it would take a very long time. There never was any complaint that the bales of the British Queen had been mutilated when they were cleared out from our warehouse. If the bales hadbeen mutilated they would have presented very unusual appearance. I never heard of any complaint from the locker that any bales presented an unusual appear ance. Mr. Gooch conducted the business at L,,ndon-wall, and did not take a very active part in that carried on at Steelyard. (The witness here identified the different duty-peid warrants, which were in the handwriting of the defendate,, Mr. Cousins, and stated that none of them were in the handwriting of Mr. Gooch). Down to 1841 the only counting-house the defendants had was at London-wall. The number of men employed varied according to the amount of business.—Cross-examined by Mr. Watson : In 1841 and 1842 I was landing clerk to the de fendants. I kept the booksat Steelyard up to 1841, and Mr. Ward kept them in 1841 at Steelyard. I always paid the money I received from the defendants for the duty. Mr. Cousins gave me cheques for it much oftener then Mr. Gooch. I have worked over hours, and occasionally on Sunday ; but I swear we never worked on those occasions in the bonded warehouses on goods that had not paid the duty; but we sometimes got permission to do so from the Customs. We used to send a written request to the Cus tom-house, and the locker was paid a gratuity of one shilling per hour for our working over hours. The locker was not always present when goods were taken out. It would take two men to cut out the marks and put fresh ones on '2O bales three-quarters of an hour.—Re-examined by Mr. Keating If we were work ing, by permission of the Customs, over hours in the bonded warehouses, the locker would be present. The Sunday working was only in the free warehouses. Mr. Reeves, a eurgeon, was called, for the purpose of proving that Simon Hodinot, the foreman of the defendants, wu in such a state of health that be could not be brought into court to give evidence in the cause with safety to his life. Mr. Ward wu next called, and examined' by Mr. Jones: He stated that he was in the employ, at the present time, of Messrs. Twining, the bankers, but that in 1811 he was is the service of the defendants. (The rest of this witnesa's evidence was merely a corroboration of the testimony of Mr. Hughes, with tho exception that he disagreed with - hire as to the handwriting in two duty-paid warrants, which she latter declared to be the handwriting of the defendant Cousins, but which Mr. Ward stated was that of Hughes himself. James Donoghue, a foreman to the defendants, was then called, and examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee, but he merely corroborated the two former witnesses in their statement. that no pieces had ever been cut of out the British Queen, and that what Priest had said about his having done so was entirely false, end that, in fact, no orders were ever given to do any such thing. Several workmen who were at present in the employ of the defendants were also called, and they all swore that they had never tampered with or mutilated the bales of the British Queen, or any other cargo ; that no orders were Is sued by the defendants to do so, and that what Priest had sworn with respect to the British Queen, and getting into the warehouse by means of unscrewing a bolt, was utterly without foundation. Many very respectable wool-brokers and persons con nected with that trade were examined as to the characters the two defendants had borne for honour and integrity, and they stated that they had always been considered as gentle men of the most unblemished re putation. This closed the case on the part of the defendants, and Mr. Watson having , repliyd, hu lordship proceeded to sum up very briefly, leaving it to the jury to say whether they believed the evidence of the witness Priest. He thought there was no ground for saying that he was actuated by any malicious motives against the defendants, and he was corro honted by the fact of two witnesses having been called who swot , e to having put on the marks on the bales of the Bri tish Queen, which bad been cut out. Still there were ports of his story which were very improbable. It was, however, for them to say on the whole of the evidence whether the defendants had conspired together to defraud the revenue and their own customers. The jury then retired, and after an absence of an hour and a half returned with •verdict of Guilty ef conspiring to de - -eid the revenue, but not the cencignees. Sittulp in Banco. Mr. Justice Co:endge and Mr. Justice Erie sat in this court on Saturday for the purpose of delivering judgment in several cues. JONES O. BLOIINT.—BIRMINGRAM AND BII.IOIITON RAIL wAy.—In this cue a rule had been moved for to set aside • ' nonsuit, and the question turned on the evidence adduced to prove the contract stated in the declaration, which was • promise to psy 2,0001. in consideration that the plaintiffs, at the request of the defendants, would give up and relinquish to them the pr: jest therein described, and all the property the plaintiffs might be able to claim in the same. An en gineer made a survey from Birmingham to Brighton, and incurred various expenses in en doing ; the plain tiffs took offices in London and registered them selves as the provisional committee and promoters of the Birmingham and Brighton Railway, and issued a prospectus; the defendant and others were chosen managing directors, and they acted thenceforth in that capacity. At one of the meetings of the committee, the chairman faked the plaintiff what he thought he ought to require for the projectorship, and, after giving him 3,0001. in consideration of his expenses and liabilities, it was arranged that he should have 2.0001. and the option of 2,500!. worth of shares, with which the plaintiffs expressed themselves satis fied. There were three con ditions—first, to give up the pro jectorship to the defendants ; secondly, the maps, dec. ; and, thirdly, to allow them to become managing directors. The evidence was that the defendants had become the managing directors, and were acting in that capacity when they made the arrangement in question, and were induced to make it only because they were managing direc tors, therefore, the allegation that the promise wee in consideration that the plaintiffs would allow (the de fendants to become the managing directors was disproved ; therefore the nonsuit was right, not only upon the form of pleading, but on the justice of the case, for the project was not for the applination of a railway already formed, but for THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1848. the formation of a e..mpany for a railway, and coming under the dceeription of the dui/raster of promoters given i n 8 a nd 9 Viet., e. 110. It was clear, therefor e, that the plaintiffs had nothing to give up in the shape of projector. ship, for when once the whams had been advertised it was traneferred to the public. If the company had prospered it was probable a large gratuity and allotment would have been given to the " projector," but as it was unauceeseful, and the defendants could not be m►de personally liable, the rule must be discharged. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—ArrLenv, Fee. 24. The commiasion at Appleby wu opened on Thursday, and business proceeded with on Friday. So nuns( roes an at tendanos of the bar has not been known for many years. The crown calendar contained more prisoners, but the idleness with which they were charged were in general of only a trivial character. The nisi prius businam presented l i nothing worth reporting. POLICE.-SATUUDAY. M ANSION-HOUSE.—FORORRY UPON MiIIARS.ROTHII. CHILD. — T. Schuh, alias V. Bernard, a German, was finally examined charged with having forged a bill of ex change upon Messrs. Rothschild and Cu. for 1001. Mr. Thomas Beard, clerk to Mews. Mesterman end Co., ststed that on the 15th of December, 1847, the produced bill of ex- change for 1001. was presented at the counter for change, and he paid it. He remembered having observed a diacre panty on the endorsement. There was a special endorse ment to " Lorenz Weber," and the next endorsement was Lorenz Weebtr.—The solicitor for the - prisoner said that his client bad been authorised by Lorena Weber to rm. ive the payment of the bill, and to receipt it in the name of that per son : that the prisouer did not know of the death of Lorenz Weber, and that no evidence had been produced in root of the death of that person. He represented that it was usual with foreigners to sanction the use of their names fur pecu niary purpose., and he wished the prisoner to be remanded ner three weeks to make preparations for his trial. This was objected to on the ground that the prisoner having been in eoutinement nearly a month had had full time to prepare fur his trial —The prisoner was committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. RIPCSAL OF BURIAL. A decent looking woman, with a small wooden box under her arm, containing the body of a child, applied to Mr. Hard wicks under the following eircumstanors :—She explained that she was a monthly nurse, and had last been in attend ance upon a poor female named Tweden, in Cavendish-stri et, Horton. The man, who had been out of work three months, I was laid upon R sick bed; they had two children also ill, and a E few days previous the wife was prematurely delivered of a dead e child. On Friday morning the applicant took the body in a I box, as now produced, to have it buried in the Horton 11 churchyard, but the sexton required half-a-crown fur the burial. She tendered a shilling, which was all that the b poor people bad, but the sexton was inexorable, and insisted on the clergyman's (the Rev. Mr. Kelly's) fee, although, of course, in such a eas , there wes no funeral ceremony to he performed.—Mr. Mammal desired one of the otlicers to go I wth her to the parochial authorities One of the warrant ofiie:ol accordingly accompanied her to Mr. Bleck, one of the churchwardens of Seoreditch, who, being mode cc- • quainted with the circumstances, signed an or:er tor the immediate interment of the body, which we believe was at S last effected without the payment of the required fee. WESTMINSTER. —l' vetoes Di t ivireo. I/ors/to/ 4 I Kennard was charged with being drunk, and furiously driv ing.—Mr. John Clarke, of 5, Eccleston-place, Pimlico, stated that on the previous evening ho was driving a horse and gig up Belgrave-place, on the near side, and on arriving at the corner turning into Eccleston-street he saw defendant, who, with another man, was in a tilted cart, coming along 13ele grave-place as hard es their horse could gallop. Complainant called cut to them, but they paid nu attention to him, and 1 complainant pulled up short. The cart immediately came I against his horse, and the shaft having entered the poor sue e ?nal, and penetrated to his lungs, he dropped down dead in s three or four minutes. The complainants horse was turned , right round by the concussion, and defendant's companion was by its violence thrown out of the cart on to the herse's I back. Neither, however, was hurt. Defendant appeared to be drunk.—Policeman Green saw defendant just before the concussion. Ile was driving at so furious a rate that wit- I neas was following to take him into custody, and cams up directly after the horse was killed. Defendant was drunk. — Mr. Burrell convicted defendant in the highest penalty, 405., for the furious driving, leaving complainant to his remedy in another court for the value of the horse. LAM BETIL—A Basra.—Daniel Morris was re examined on a charge of savagely ill using his wife, and threatening to cut her throat. The facts of this case have already appeared in oar paper. The prisoner has been fre quently in custody for sots committed while under the in fluence of drink ; and on the evening of Friday week he ' made a savage attack upon his wife, and on his being se cured and searched a pair of razors were found in his ' pocket —Mr. Norton convicted theprisoner in the penalty of f l ., or in default of payment to two months' impn soppiest. SOUTHWARK.-43V1101Laile AND TIOLNNT CONDUCT OP run Tuner.—L. Davies and W. Suiten were charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. Rayner, at 2, Sparrick's.row, Misspend, Bermondsey, and stealing a silver watch, a quantity of wearing apparel, and upwards of 301. worth of other property. The prosecutor and his wife were in the habit of leaving their house during the day, from 8 o'clock in the morning until near 4 in the after noon. On Monday last the hou.o was broken open during their absence, and property to a considerable amount stolen. Information was afterwards given to the police, which led to the apprehension of the prisoners. A very intelligent little girl, residing near Mr. Itayner's house, said, that about 12 o'clock on Monday morning she taw the prisoners loitering about the house is question. Davies then opened the shutters, and climbed into the house, and the other prisoner closed them, and went to the rear of the house. When Mrs. Rayner came home she informed her of the cir cumstance, when the police were called in. A portion of the stolen property was found in the possession of a female with whom Davies lived. Whilst the evidence was being adduced Davies became extremely violent, and, attempting to get at the female, inflicted several blows on the o ffi cers, wh o . were standing near him. His conduct became so outrageous that handcuffs were placed on him—The prisoners were remanded. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY 8Y119114111. Although no particular addition to the remarkable intelligence from Paris communicated by the Daily News in the morning and by the Express in the after noon of yesterday, was made berme the commence ment of business, either by the former or any other morning paper, the funds still showed no signs of recovery from the extreme point of depression to which they had fallen after business hours last even ing. Prices indeed were quoted more in decline from the opening of the market, and transactions were then difficult in Consols at 841 to The highest figure to which they attained for account at any time was 851. When the second edition of the Daily News reached the City, containing a more particularised account and confirmation of the republic having been proclaimed, with the formal es tablishment of a provisional government, composed of public men of strongly marked republican prin ciples, the excitement and agitation in the stock market, and about the Royal Exchange, became ex treme. Console went down to 83, and fluctuated an suddenly and violently between that quotation and 21 per cent. higher, that it was difficult and almost impossible to collect the true state of the market foe any consecutive five minutes. At the regular hoar of closing business they were officially . marked, however,' at 83/ to for money, and 143:i to ?, for time. Subse quently, in private bargains, they were reported to be done from Ito per cent. lower still. Reduced Times, 83/ to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 843 to 1. Long Annuities, 8 13-16tlus to /.

As may be readily conceived scarcely any transac tions took place in foreign stocks. Some sales in Mexican were effected only at a decline in prices to 171 to 184. Portuguese fell to 223. Russian to 108. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 50; the Fount. 79. These quotations were the last, and the only ones officially made, and must be taken, therefore, as merely nominal. At the meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Prussia at Berlin, on the 9th instant, the dividend for the last year was fixed at 5/ per cent., independently of the 100,000 thalera carried to the reserve fund, of 27,000 dialers appropriated to cover one half the cost of making the bank notes, and of 20,01)0 thalers towards the charges of the building fund. It resulted from the report of the directors that the Bank was compromised for very large sums in the failures in foreign countries. saeonort /11191)B. Bank Stott, 194 5 4 I India Stark. 042 3 pries.

They might be seen groups I round their chairman, Mr. Henry Rawson, anxiously disruesing the revolutionary events of the pest week in France, and the extraordinary fluctuations in prices both of funds and railway stocks, taking place in London, of which from time to time the telegraph bad apprised them, but not a share changed hands.---Bluattatousu. — This market participated fully , in the excitement caused by the extraordinary events of the last few days in France. A good deal or business was transacted, bat this was altogether of an unsteady and uncertain character. Prices oscillated so much that it is useless to give quotations ; it is sufficient to say that the fall in all descriptions of stock was considerable; still there was a feeling that circumstances did nut warrant this remarkable depreciation iu the valise of property ; and that, but for very unexpected results, the panic which has seised people in a moment, will in a few days subside.— Liotos.—The business on Saturday was nearly equal in point of extent to that which had been erected during any day of the week, but, following the London market, prices were not sustained, and a decline was generally submitted to in the transactions that tool , place.

This diminution el dividend was stated to be owing to the amount of consolidated Mock upon which it was now payable, exceeding by a large stun that of the previous half-year, and also in consequence of the intereet upon Extension Stock, No. 2, hitherto charged to capital in &montane* w.th the resolutions wider which it was created, being now altogether charged to revenue.

This reduc tion had not been effectiai at tn• e‘prisc of efficiency in working, or .1 the security of the public; as a proof of which it might he stated that 2,411,381 passengers had been safely and punctually convejed along the lines of the company during the 3-ear 1847. The sand half yearly reports of the resident engineer and of the locomotive superin tendent were of a highly satisfactory character, both in reference to the Mate of the permanent say and of the engines and plant of the company. The direct ,n regretted that circumstances had occurred to delay the opening of the March and Saint Ives, and the Mahlon, Witham, and Braintree lines at the periods mentionwl in tee last half-yearly report, but the for mer had been 'mid for pods traffic since the first of the pretest month, and would tie re sly for the reception of pareengers on the Ist of March ; the latter would be completed for both goods and passen ger traffic in the early pert of May next. The directors had retraced intimation from the direetora of ths Newmarket Itillway, that that line would be opened is Merck, and tie y begged to'announoe that a satis factory arrangement had been ens red into between the two comps. noes for working the troth:. The portion of the Swann and Peter month; line, Is twerp stameord anti Melton, would be entailed next onth ; thus einipleting thr link between the Midlands and Kagan] Courtin Railway. In consequence of the recent commercial pressure the directors bad not taken any steps fee the construc tion of the Cambridge and Bideford said the Wisbech and Spalding lines, for ahkh acts were oldJined last sena° ; and, in accordance with the provisions of the recent act of parliament, the contracts for thwe lines would not be let without the previous bene fice of the shareholders. It hearse, in the opinion of the director., necessary during the money pressure In November last, either to forfeit alstolutely the York iistetumon shares, which were in default, for not paying calls beyond 10a. and 21. per share, or to give the holders one further chance of airing the investments they had made, while they contributed additional monies to the (landau( the company. Accordingly, an oilvcitiseinent was issued on the sth of November last, allowing thaw holders who bad paid Io . per share to pay V. per share more on or tort- :re the 10th of December, and those wha hail paid 21. per share to pay 31. per share more on or before the 'ante date, when their existing certificates would be can celled, and ecrip certificates for E stern Cotinties Guaranteed Stock, carrying I per cent Interest in perpetuity, would be issued for the 21. pus, and for the IL retnertirety paid. The total amount received under this measure from defaulters old ant closed 31,01./. and in respect of that sum and former pay menu scrip bad been untied in accordance with the adverts... Tot. The result of the measure, inde pendently of the above receipw, had been to place in the company's howl* the power of issuing, or wiling with the sanction of the pro prietors, a stack of about 400,000/. in amount, either as York Exten sion shares, or as apt rpetual 5 per cent. stock.

After payment of that dividend, there would be left a surplus prodt of 12,0001., which, it di-tributed, would have enabled the directora to have paid Iv. per share more than they now announced. The traffic, under rxiiiing eircumstanceit, had been most satisfactory ; the re. evidta din ins the hot half year having amounted to 12,0001. per week, which, be thought, was no much as t he y could possibly haveex. paled. The expense, of aking the hoe be admitted to be large, but then they bad had to p w ay vt the rate of 265. per ton for coke, whir the e ,me ortiee might be procured in the north of Enkland for half that sum.

RAILWAY NEWS._ On Saturday we had a general fall of prices in the railway market, with rates so variable and varying, and such an almost total absence of real business, that none worthy of confidence, and as a guide to trans actions, can be quoted. French railways could hardly be disposed of on any terms. LivsaeooL.-1 se news from Franca and London had depressing effect on the market on Saturday, and thera was *decline in nearly all stocks.—MANCHrarmx—The mem bers of the Stock Exchange only met for a few minutes, and talk before the middle of March, although an engine had already cone over it without stoppage.. lie expected that th e other hoes re erred to in th e report womb also tend when opened to add to the revenue of the company. It was propobed by the Great Northern Railway th at one el their Rae should came into the mutton of this company at Peterboreugh,_ and the direc tors were disposed to ave them every faddy for so do ing. When all them lines armed be in full operation, he had great hopes that while the rename would increased, the expenses would be considerably reduced. The receipts of the bne Its le, averaged 1,1 01. • mile, bet in 1 0 47 they inereeeed to 1,764/. Mile. In fact the disesteem bad done all their power for the benefit of the company, and if it o ne thought that any other body of men could do more they were prepared to resign the maagement into their hands. With regard to the court* idopted by the director" in re/en-nor to the forfeiture of nbaren, be could only Fay that they hail acted upon . ita m tar t ; cone th,a el . er u ati me on , tnean,lhalett.ougithht.lir eynahbadle47thotemreawlistjetaailarge toe llabttittea at the company. The chairman continued to obscene (in reply to a eharehubler who demanded to know why they bad not been called together and consulted en the steiject), that it was not thought prudent at the time to agitate the public mind by en doing, nor woe to lava the condition of the company. By acting with that motion the company had been placed to a creditable pattoit, i.nd were quite prepared to pay their &viands. Unlike other e• menial who had a borrowed capital of seven or eight mllliots, the whole amount of the Mann of thin connany did not exceed soq,ouot., atd men that they could pay off if all th • calls due were paid up. lee hoped there would he no difference of mann as to the 'Mint:awry character of the rt port, and that It would be unanim o usly agreed to.—Dr. Itylnnd obeersedfthat, considering the depreaed state of the country, it was nut our prising that the dividend sae reduced ; but he fe t It right, neverthelta, to prom upon the directors the ne. m may of paying attention to the strictesteconomy.--Mr. 1•hella tali objection to the poise ding of tie directors In reference to the fur kiture ot shores, contended that they had no right to charge the fund* of the company with 5 per cent. in perpetuity. and caper sed a hope that such a anew would met be sale adopted without the feral coneent of the proprietary.—Mr. Waddington fettled to a aareholder (who charged the directors with encouregiug heavy law expense., amounting in the present report to t ), by observing that, to the exerttons of the direr-tuts, the company were indebted for being at preeent in • portion second to no other company in the kingdom. The d ureters had actually advanced large swim of money out of their own pocket', to prevent diograte to the company, when they hod no a:count at their bankers'. Ile could further nay that every account for paritenteutary expenses had been exa mined and reduced by the honourable chairman hureelf.- -Mr. Serjeant Goatee having taunted the chairman upon the failure of his premiers respecting an increase to the dividend, the chairman replied by Weaning that the Wine was nitributable to the untore. wen diftlulties of the month of October. With regard to the for feited thane, he thought that some consideration tor the directors ought to to shown by that meeting, when he informed it that their cheques had actually hero mused at the bankers for so small a awn as Me 01 They acre thus complelely driven into a corner and com pelled to set, et the same time dust In doing eo they were anxious to show ea much consideration as potable for those holder• of thanes who wire unable to pay up. The chairman having further Mated, in reply ton question, that the Mei& ad was entirely p iyable out of the prodta, the r. port wee agreed to as were also resolutions autnitrising the directors to dlepree of the forteited shares, WO re-electing the retiring directors. A motion for the appuietment of aueitors was negatived, the &mom having promised to consider the question, and int, ode eit at the next meeting.—A vote of Lamb to the chair man concluded the weaseling, CALEDONIAN —Half-yearly heeling.—Edinburgh, Feb. 25.—Mr. J.. 1. Mope Johnstone, of Atinandale, in the chair.—The Chairman, after confute ulatlng the dm el:oWe'; on the opening of the line throughout, tad that although much had been done, there call remained a good deal to be secempliebed. They had not yet goo accommodetion for tiff it goods traffic; they wanted Mahon acooin ousiation in a variety of plea.; and they were still &talent in regard tot te amount re plant fiir working the line. They tiropmed to erect teteperat y neconinvidatice ill lie waantimq so as ta eirth:e them to proceed with the development of the goods Defer ; and as the development of the truffle of a railway am matter of a gradual pramse, they intended to arrange as to cabala, ace, in such a way as to :nettle them to meet the deamele as they were made upon them. With regard to the works now in preens", and which were not part of the main line, there were mimeo( them meet essential to the prosperity of the company. The Clydesdale Jrmcuon, es they were well aware, opened not only a communieatien with the southern banks of the Ciyie, but it also opened an immediate and direct chain of comniunication betweeu the east of Scotland and the whole of the towns lying within the district, of Greened, Renfrew, and Ayr, while it would sited great facility to the transit of tratinerigers to Edin burgh, as well as fur the conveyance of pawnor, and gook from the busy manufacturing dintricts in different part. of England. It was important in another point of view. The lime elong which they paved immedi:dely tipproachom Glasgow were exceedingly crowded with traffic. The areuent of coal. lime, and iron stone eanvey d along them is antenna ; and it would be a great relief to the traffic if a temiderable portion of the coal traffic —all, for instance, that was intended for ishippiug —were oonveved on the Clydediale branch. There was another week in which they were meowed which was very important. namely, the extension of the Gartikirk Railway to the town of (Ammon. At prevent it terminated outside of the town altogether, at • considerate ins Walton, arid very imam violent for passenger-. By whet was proposed, however, they would be onaveyed into the midst of the city of Glasgow, where they would bane abundance of station sceornmodiriot It would also be neces sary to carry on fame works se , •he opposite bank of the river, so as to obtain a pateurrer station at ',ne little distance from the River Clyde. At present they did noi intaud incur the expellee of e !wry kg their line down to the bank 4. ' • li/Tr. It would be mere pru dent to have a temporary station at the point of junction between this tine and the Barreiro," line. Ito old not, perhaps, be so COM- modious as they meld watt. but still sedeent toanswer their purpose in the meantime. It would alma be necessary to complete the junction mtli the Greenock Railw.y. It 'minx' ogre's and by the time the CI) cloddy June ti an Railway wee opurted.,t, mould he finished. The enu meration of these WOrkli, and the necesniti which exuded for carrying them on, brought him to a point of raising additional funds. For this purpose they proposed to ask the nhareholdere to sanction the borrowing powers vested in the company by the sets of 1040. These powers enabled them to arrow a num of Y 100.000. Some of these works abet were those to which the new chants were applicable ; and justice to the otber tharebeldent it MY but fair that the new bares should be brought in to hear part of the expenees. Then pro posed to ask to: a call of V. on these steam, to be payable one-half on the 31st of March, and the other hall on the let of July. They were just now =Wog every effort to develop the goods traffic. As yet, they had net attempted to carry anything hut pamengere, but by the let of March they expected to curry goods. While nothing that om curred at first could be taken as any mtisfacthry criterion of the line, yet no far as they had gene thry had great reason to be encouraged with the staves that attended them. t hey ce were nen than they especial in the circumstances, and were daily bereesing; to that he had no doubt by the next time they assembled be would be able to give an encoursging amount of the traffic. The report of the directors was then read. It stated that the Colle t/ay brach (ten mike in length) the only portion of the original trunk line which remains to be finished. This important connexion with the north of tkotlend will be ready for opening by the lot of May; but the works are in a euttleient state of program to admit of Ike being ofretsi nimultaneeusly with the Scottish Central Railway, if the opening of the whole of that line should be accornplined at an ' earlier period. The Clydesdale Junction portion of the Caledredan Railway, which was acquired by the company under the Caledonian and Clydesdale Amalgamation Act of 1816, bad been retarded from the wetness of the 1“11.011. The directors were also proceeding with the extension of the Gernkirk entrance into Glasgow, and with the forma- don of the necerary ColllleliOllP with the Greenock and Ayrshire Railways, and with the Gernkirk and Castlecary lines. They were strongly impressed with the importance of probe eseng the works now in program to • conclusion, with the name vigour with which the main line has been executed. In alluding to the receipts andespenditure during the past half-year the directors regretted that a considerable degree of baskwaidnere had been shown in responding to the calls, whereby a came of the expenditure over the rem tete had been ocantionett, for which the di teeters hail been obliged to provide. In order to meet the decreasing demands, in coneequenee of the expenditure already incurred and in program, the director" proposed to make a further call on the half of 111. shares. The amount already called up on this stock was 31. la.

BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE Jt7NCTION. —11 , 11:-yearly Sfeeting.—Birkenhead, Feb. 26.—Alderman James Bancroft in the chair.—From the director.' report. it apps erect that, on comparing the present half-year with the coneepondme period at 11510, ladle the pae.-enger traffic bad only suffered to the count of If per cent., the goods traffic bad increased upwards of Ito per ceat., and the panels traffic upwerds of 50 per cent. The directors looked with omlidence to the further development of Valle on the opening of the llolyhead railway, the extension of the shrew.- bui7 and Chester railway to Slueerebury, the gradual revival of confident in the country at large, and the expected resumption, -A an early p:riod, of the public undertakings at Birkenhead.

Owing to the severe pe. cuniary preveure of the DM three months of 1817, the directots thought it desirable, in October list, to stew& the active prosecu tion of the works on the main line from Chester to Warrington. After much deliberation, they have dtcided to call up so much only of the 311. thane as will enable them to eurehe the pewees with which they are Invested under their several ache of parliament ; if all calla are paid up there powers can be demised when 15/. 100. per 311. share, ter )se. is addition to the amount already called, has been paid. The amount so raised will, in the opinion of the directors, be sufeedeet to open for traffic that portion of the line be tween Chester and Warrington in the autumn of 1849, and shortly afterwards the portion between Warrington and Altsinchani.
