Mr. FITZGERALD gave notice that on Monday next Ike should ask the government whether they bad accepted, or intended to accept, a proposal made by President Lincoln respecting the establishment of a convention between this country and the government of the United States to ex mine sad settle claims arising out of the violation of nentral rights. PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF THE METRO POLITAN AND CITY POLICE. Sir DE LACY EVANS gave notice that on an early day after pater he should move a resolution that in the /Maim of that home it was inexpedient there should be two separate bodies of police under different heads in the metropolis THE CONDITION OF THE COTTON OPERATIVES. Mr. FEERA.ND asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether ha would give a government night immediately after Easter, to bring under the notice of the house the pre sent state of the option trade, and of half a million of cotton operatives living in unwilling idleness? Lord PALM EESTON said he could wore the hon. mem ber end the house that the subject to which his question related was one that mint necessarily create great anxiety in the minds of the government, and they should be anxious to give the house any opportunity that might be required for any consideration of the subject io any point of view. He believed that after Easter the two early Tuesdays weee very much engaged, otherwise he should have said that the lion. gentleman might have found an opportunity on • Tuesday, but if he were anxious to bring it on earlier he could assure the hon. member that, subject to due attention to public business, he should be willing to give him every facility that he could. THE RECENT ARTELLERT EXPI SHOZBURYNESS. Sir J. PAIIISGTON asked the Searetary to the Ad miralty whether it was true that, in the trials at Shoebury am. on Tuesday last, sk-inch iron plates were penetrated by shells, and the wooden backing set on fire ; and if so, whether the Admiralty stall intended to build of wood the ire new skips to be plated with iron. Lord C. PAGET said on Tuesday last very important experiments took place, not only with Sir W. Armstrong's shells, but likewise with Mr. NVlitworth's shells, and un doubtedly these shells pierced *inch plates. Bat it was quits impossible to state the extent of the effect of these shells until the target was taken pieces. He mentioned this because last year when important experimenta took place the house was anxious to learn the result and the neat day he stated what had occurred, but these opinions WIN to be muck modified afterwards, and therefore he now preferred to await the complete examination of the target, In order that be might be able, if the house wished it, to give more particular detail.. Sir J. PAIIINGTON said the question had not been answered. He asked whether the wood had been set on fire, and whether it blazed lap, and whether that fact would hare any effect at the intentions of the Admiralty with 11= to the five new ships to be plated with iron. C. PAGET begged pardon for omitting to answer that part of the question. The Admiralty did not, in toe sigma°s of those experiments of last Taesdsy, sod it neces sary or expedient to change their opinions in the matter of Toed TOMB iron. THE POLISH REFUGES ABICHT. Mr. HENNRSSY asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Remise government recently applied to her Majesty's anatomist far information respecting • Polish rasps mused Alicht ; whether her fitme.y's government with that application, and afriniett information to the 'remanent ; end whether this Polish refugee is the individual referred to in • letter of Earl Russell, dated Forage-alles, Feb. 14, 1863, as "a person lately warted in Poland es a politica agent."

(Renewed laughter.) MR. WIITTWOWTITS SHELLS. Mr. DALGLISH asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the authorities at the Admiralty intended to try the Woes cot WhitwortWe She& OM • target repreesatimg the tide of the Royal Oak, or of owe of the wooden ships whki it le proposed to Wild ; and also whether foilitise weuldlie afforded to members to wither these imperimenth Lord C. psevir said it we the intrados of the germ met to carry en a series of experiments with a view to teas the merits of these shells, said likewise with raped to the wood backing of the various theme of ships.

THE ENGLISH POLICE IN POLAND. Mr. HENNERIY asked the fleentari el err for the Bone Deferrer for the name of the agent reared to to the followa( paragraph of the Russian ansbasader's letter, applying for the services of the English police in Poland : "The first step to be taken ahould be to allow Sir Richard Xsyne to pet hinnelf into communication with a gentle awn to whose care the Goad Duke hasdirectirsod privately entrusted this skier." Aod whether any money had been paid by the Russian government to the English police since ihe return of the latter from Warsaw. Sir G. GREY said with respect to the first part of the questiou he could oely give the mime sooner he gave before, that the name of that person had not been communicated to him, and he did oat koow it. With regard to the other pert of the question, the general rule was that when an sp. plication worn made for the services of a portion of tie edon pollee if the applicatio n were grante d i t was a l lay! on the cooditioe that 4e party making the applicatioe paid the exposer.

Mr. BAXTER roes to move the following meantime : " 1. That in the opinion of this house, in eases where ordi nary traffic supports several lines of stamen, the pelmet 'Mem of graouoc subsidies for carrying the Mae-oceanic malt to be • with. 2. That this house is not p is , to grant • sum of money to the Atlantic Royal X. mails Company for cooveying the mails between Galway and North America." The boo. member thought it high time that the house should make • stand against the extravagant I system which had come into use of granting postal 'Midis& As I/Merchant carrying on business with distant countries, he had naturally • deep interest in seeing that our totem anthem with foreign parts were as regular and as speedy se ✓ossibie. All his sympathies might therefore be supposed in be is fevour of liberal subsidies ; bat he had also • dity to pe- forte sa • member of that house • namely, to see that hr every great that was made the count ry received full vales. He did not approach the question from any mere theoretical point of view, and he was not prepared to my that, under all circumstances, subsidies might be dispensed with; on the contrary, he must freely admit that the great ocean steamship companies could not have been established or car ried on at first without aid from the national exchequer. What be maintained, however, was that the amount of the subsidies might Dow be greatly reduced, not only without detriment, but with positive advantage to the trade and commerce of the country. He could not help seeing and declaring that if it were wrong in the late govem meat, on an insufficient inquiry, to give an unknown company • contract for an ocean mail service to carry the mails on an ocean where it was not required, what could be said of the conduct of the per • government? Was it not more wrong after all the concerns of the company had been elucidated, to continue a delusion and to confirm • job I (Loud chem.) He had heard it rumoured that this contract had been en tered into as the price of the support of the Irish members. (Hear, hear, and miss of " Name.") He did not believe that report, but he did say that the renewal of the contract by the government, with such information as they had before them, gave strength and colour to • report of that kind. He was entirely'', • loss to discover why this treasury minute had been issued, if it were not to provide against the exigenciesof the moment. On this point he begged leave to quote the words of Lord J. Rana on the 30th of May, 1861—words which were still ringing in his ears. The noble lord mid, " And with regard to the Galway contrite!, I my that rather than make any concession on that question, it would be better that ten ministries should he defeated. It would be better that ten ministries should be defeated and the Home of Commons ten times dissolved than that such • stain should be mat on the government of this country. And when I say it would be better that ten ministries should be defeated and the House of Commons ten times dissolved, that is a consequence that could not be avoided. Oa the contrary, it is a consequence that would be brought ea if any government of this country should act in so pro fligate a manner, because it is not to be supposed that only one part of the United Kingdom im interested in this nat ter. Galway coarsen might spring up in other parts of the United Kingdom, sad if ten or twenty gentlemen bound themselves together to defeat one minister if he did not yield to their wishes, new ministries would experience ▪ attempts to make them stoop to similar degradation." These were noble and stirring words, but they were soon forgotten. (Hear.) What he wished to impress on mas hers of both tides of the house was this, that although this 78,000 f. a year might be, as the Times called it, • paltry and contemptible sum, yet when given for political mama at the instance and premium of • certain number of mem bers of that house, it was improper and unconstitutional is a government to pave the way for • practice which, how ever common in the capital of Washington, ought not to be tolerated in • British House of Commons. (Cheers.l He was informed he could not divide on both his resolutions, He considered the first the most important of the two, but it was not pressing, as it could not come late operation till the termination of the contract in 1867. He should therefore move seen amendment to the motion that the Speaker leave the chair the second amendment which stood in his name. He entreated the house to take • coarse which, however paltry and contemptible the sum in question, would teach • lemon and establish a principle which would not be forgotten by the cabinet' of Eng land in time to come. (The boa gentleman sat dem amidst load cheers from both sides of the house.) Mr. HOESFALL, in seconding the resolution, said that after the able and practical manner in which his honourable friend dealt with the question, it was not necessery for him to add to his statement ; but he was sure the country would be greatly astoeished at the coarse the government had taken in granting this contract after the very strewing' manner I. which they opposed • similar contract made by the late government. Mr. GREGORY opposed the resolution. He contended that • government, in encouraging the establishment of =ix of steam - packet commoication, was promoting t national intrude. The Galway Company were =fully to carry out their contract ; and Ireland, as much nearer to America than any of the great English ports, had manifestly a right to • share of the messy exploded in misting enterprises of that description. Mr. BENTINCK said that the boo. gentleman who had in tredweed the subject had express' his surprise that there @head have been acts of jobbery oa the part of two govern. mats, sad hie hope that In future there woad be no re newel of such practises. He could not share either in the lining of surprise as to the past, or I. the hope se I. the future. A study of the political history of the country had amiss:aid him that there never had been a government which did not job, and he believed there never would be a government that woad not job. itgliter.) He looked upon the Galway imbody ea having been is the first instance what is commonly Wbed • job. 16 was a job in the sense in which every government has tbitheretofore, and every government will job hereafter; • wasteful and indiscreet expenditure of public raw for the purpose of making political capital. The &sago that took place in the rates of postage ems yam since were, he believed, ill advised; they linesited • small portion of the public at the expense of Its pea mass of the people. The poor man who wrote • latter ramps once • year, derived but a small advantage ; while the mercantile community reaped • largo benefit. The effort of granting saladdies was exactly similar; and he meted the day was not far distant when they would be sanely disooationed. Them who had mission to correspond with America should pay whatever was required to enable the earrespoodirios to be transmitted. He admitted that the question was one which should be dealt with cautiously, and that oars should be taken that no injustice was doge to these who now held 000teacts. In the meant case, however, no injury mad result except to the 27 shareholders who had been spoken of, who were not Irish. He hoped the bowie would affirm the resolution, and that they would thereupon enter into • discussion which ahould lead to the doing away of all anhaidiet. (Bear, bear.) Mr. WHITESIDE, in oppmrg the resolution, insisted as the dreamless which Ireland offered as • point of &portant for America, and on the undoubted right of that isometry to receive a share of the money expended in those steam-packet contracts. Upon those two ormidieratioas he &ended his advocacy of the proposed subsidy to the Oalway Company. He believed that both the late government and the remit goveroannt, in the 0011[10 they bad pursued upon that subject, had been inflamed solely by their sense of justice and of public policy. Lord PALMERSTON criticised the speech oI Mr. Baxter with some severity, and observed that that hoe, gentleman wished to make it appear that the government had beta 'closeted by • desire to secure the support of the Irish members. In making this accusation he preferred • double charge—want of political morality sod want of political foresight. He was r r izirisixi that Mr. Baxter could not give the goverment it for higher motives. The hon. gentleman did ant appear to &permeate the fact that Inland did not poems those great meal establishments which contributed se much to the wealth sad prosperity of England; neither did he appear to the oonsideratioc that Ireland had tar geo ;era= claims to • transatlantic packet station. These were the only considerations which had influenced her Majesty's govs;aaseat is premising • reward Gibbs subsidy W the Galway Ocsupsay. 1 .. . . After a few words front General Urron, the house divided on Mr. Barter's second resolution : For going into committee For the :violation ASSASSINATION OF RR. BRADDEL. Mr. WHITESIDE rose to call attention to the einem ' stances connected with the maessiaation of Mr. Braddel in July hat in the town of Tipperary ; and to salt for an ex. planatioe of the conduct of the polio*, and of the coarse taken by the government in reference to that trausaction. Mr. BAGWELL stated that the transaction had occurred exactly as bad been stated by his right hon. and learned friend. Hayes was a man who wee greatly disliked by the pmeartry, baying been instrumental in many ejectment' ; ad it was mast singular that having committed the murder, be had walked in open day from the inn door, and had never been seen or heard of mime. There were a great many per sons who would be most *axiom to catch him, and one policeman bad been distanced far baring omitted to do so, but his belief was that no one had ever seen Hayes slam the murder. It was a minder fact that although the murder took place on Wedmis&y, so telegram waa sent to any of the seaports until the following Friday. There would have been no diffirulty, therefore, in Hayea's pit* away. He had 371. in his pocket, which be had tendered to Brad del, and a ship sailed from Querns/toes on Thursday. The failure of justice had bests complete, for out of 100 mimes committed in Tipperary, only 57 of the criminals had been made amenable. The fact was, that the Anon body of men in Europe had been made incifffereet soldiers and bad polic e m en . (Hear, beer.) Chime was committed almost with impunity ; and mitre the goveranseat made 11011211 change in the system, they would be guilty of the lives of the people of Ireland. The polio* ware encum bered with rifles which could not be need against a mob, and a sward-bayonet which got between the legs of the am if they attempted to ram Rea," sad s WO.) - - - THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCIE 21, MS. from which he abdusted the said El lab.b balmy, sad that he was discharged with the nomad panishment of entering into his own recomusanoe in the sum of 1001. The bon. member read a number of affidavits to show that a serious outrage bad been committed, and imetended that through admitting the perpetrator to bail the ends of justice bad faded. Sir R. PEEL said he could not exactly understand what the object of the hon. member for :Sligo (Mx. O'Hara) was in submitting this case to the house. It was true that apparently violence was offered to the young woman. It was in fact a rather rough courtship. (Laughter.) The young man was in love with the young woman, the parent readed his wit, and an abdaction was attempted. (Laughter.) The ease after wards prooeeded to a second attaok, and after that the young man married the young woman, and they were, he premmed, living happily together at the meant moment. (Renewed laughter.) The hon. gentleman had said that it was very hard to have released this man upon bail, and that it was an outrage to justice to have attempted such a pro. needing. But the young man appeared when called upon, and pleaded guilty to the charge and he really did not see that any great infringement of justice had taken place under the circumstanced, in releasing th e man upon bail after he had been six weeks in prison. At all eventa, the ease wee happily finished, and be trusted that the young man would cooduct himself properly for the future. (Laughter.) With reference to the remarks d the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Whiteside) he was equally at a loss to understand the object of bringing before the bOelle at the present time the came of the unhappy and unfortunate murder of Mr. Sreddel in July last year. That caw was brought under the notice of the house on two or three occasions hat year, and he (Sir E. Peel) bad then endeavoured to show that everything had been done by the government to discover the known perpetrator of this meet audacious offence, but as had been truly said, up to the present time the man bad escaped. Sir G. C. LEWIS, in replying to certain observations of Colonel Dickson, offered some explanations in reference to the making up of clothing for the army at the factory at Pimlico. - Sir H. STRACEY brought under the notice of the house the expediency of constructing the works necessary to pro tect the Yarmouth mutates& from attack by sea. The house then went into committee of supply. On a vote, of 321,884 L for the volunten being pro- Poled G , Si, G. C. LEWIS mid, in reference to the fairness or unfaireens of going into committee of supply on the present oxasion, that when the change was made there was a clear understanding that the government were to be at liberty to go into committee on Fridays as well as Thurs days. The simple question wet, whether it was possible to continue the public business at • quarter past 10 o'clock. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the vote before the com mittee, there was an increase this year of 199,0001. The increase was owing to • government proposal founded upon the report of the royal commission , - which took evidence upon the subject of the volunteers, and reported that. in their opinion, the volunteer force bad reached • put at which a large part of it would be dissolved if it did not re mire some subsidy from the public. (Hear, hear.) If they looked at the !Astray of former volun teer corps—the volunteers in 1801, for instance—they would see that the country came to their assistance by pub lic grants at a much earlier period, and to a much greater extent than at present. (Hear, hear.) The plan proposed by the commission was that there should be • capitation grant for • defined purpose. The sum should not be paid to each individual, but to the adjutants of regiments, who would disbar*" it and account to the War Department There would be • capitation grant of 20s. fez every man who passed • certain scale of drill, and • further grant of 10s. for way aim who pass • certain course of military instruction. He truted the committee would feel that, upon the whole, the government were justified in proposing this vote. Lord LOVAINE objected to the vote, and complained of the gradual increase of the charge for volunteers. He thought he should claim the assistance of hon. gentlemen below the gangway when he moved for the reduction of this vote. Those gentlemen must acknowledge the form of the argument, either that there was imminent danger to the country, or that the danger bad passed, and that it wae now time that the volunteer force should support itself. The object of the commission was not to ascertain whether or not the volunteer force was neonfary ce useful, but bow it could be best maintained in its present state of efficiency. The question was, did the country really want this force of soldiers. This ospitation put amounted to nearly 160,0001. If this was a mere military luxury, he at least insisted upon the neceesity of not grudg ing the public money towards the maintenance of the health and comfort of the regular soldier. He moved that the vote be reduced by 154,5761., being the amount of the ami• tation grant. Mr. WILLIAMS said the noble lord complained of the expenditure of 154,0001. upon the volunteer faros, but he made no complaint of the expenditure of 14,000,0001. upon the ntar army. He thought that no GOO of the TOWS which been submitted to the bones was more economical than this. (Hear.) Colonel BARTTELOT said that the question was, whether the volunteer force was a useful body or not. He wee one of the royal commissioners who had to consider this subject, and one of their inquiries was whether or not the volunteer force was likely to dwindle away unless this vote of money wee made for them. The commis elopers thought that would be the case. They found, also, that there was no other way than this of getting a clam of men to serve their country without pecuniary madame. The volunteers included in their ranks a body of men who would never volunteer into the ranks of the army, navy, or militia. He thought if this money were voted it would not be thrown away. At small expense a most valuable 'tipple mentor, form would be obtained to the regular service of the °poetry. Mr. H. LEWIS agreed that this was cue of the most eco nomical votes that had been proposed to this hones. Sir G. BOWYER said that the speech of the noble lord would be received with unanimous dissent by all classes in this country. The volunteers came forward at • moment of emergency, or supposed emergency, and he did not be lieve that the country would grudge the osmium necessary to keep up so valuable a force in an efficient state. There was ocrusiderable advantage in keeping up the military spirit of the nation, and as the volunteers contributed to this end he thought they ought to be supported to • fair end raison able extent. Colonel DUNNE maid not conceive why they should vote 190,000 i., or 300,00 W., or, as be believed it would ulti mately be, 500,0001,, for the volunteers when Ireland wee Left without any defence whatever. The volunteers would be • valuable body to doubt if as invasion were to take place, but at present he (14 not see what wee the me of having a body of men dressed up in blotting-paper, and standing together on certain days, taking up more room than the regular soldiers did. (" Hear," and laughter.) Colonel NORTH considered the volunteer force most honourable to the country, and that they did their duty in • manner that was worthy of all praise. Sir J. SHELLEY said that the volunteers were admirably drilled, considering the time they were able to devote to drill. The question was, whether the volunteers, as • de fensive force, were worth the money which it was proposed to vote for them. Mr. DILLWYN supported the vote, ou the ground that the volunteers were a cheap and ►t the IMO time a de fensive force. Mr. BUXTON laid that every volunteer in the country would be most grateful to the government for proposing this vote. (Haar, bear.) Yr. JACKSON said that in the case of the riot, or rather row, referred to, which had occurred at Birkenhead between the Orangemen and the Roman catbolio mob, the volunteers were tot in a position to use their muskets, even if such • course bad become neccesary; they were acting as special constables merely, and an order was made by the magis trates, with the concurrence of Lieut.-Colonel Kies, that the nipples should betaken off for the purpose of rendering the muskets useless to either of the contending parties. Mr. ADDINOTON thought that the numbers of volun teers were overestimated,and inquired what the number of efficient men really was'? Sir G. LEWIS raid it was impossible to conceive a more efficient force obtained at a law expense than the volunteers ootietitutecl. In reply to the hon. member (Mr. Addiog too) he should state that they amounted now to 138,000 effective men. (Hear, bear.) Lord LOVAINE protested spinet as expense which he considered was not required, or justified by the nessesitiee at the country. Mr. GARNROTE supported the vote. After a few observations from Mr. MLCI26, The unsuclinent was withdrawn and the vote a rml to. Th e vote of 58.8471. for scrolled passions ,. end re. serve wee agreed to. On the vote of 958,3851. for the naculaotaring depart ments and materials for the manufacture of warlike stores, Sir J. FERGUSBON said it wu impossible to pro ly consider this vote CAM MOM iDfOlllllO4Oll with regard tO it was given by the governmsuk (Cries of "Postpone it" and " Report progress.") Sir G. LEWIS then moved that the Chairman report progress, which was agreed to.

MAIM 110. (Wore tb. Jodp OrdisaM) (Continued tram yestordsfa Express.) The Queen's Advocate, in defame, &lidded the proof which had been tendered to support the pleas charging adul lay, and pronounced three charging cruelty to be the most ludicrously frivolous and eall-ooutndictery atalegos he had ever read. Joseph Cartlidge, the responded, denied first he had ever promised to send his mother and listen away. His eldest Mater had assisted him for dray years in the shop, and wee invaluable to him. All the keys were delivered up to Mrs. Cartliclge ; but she afterwards threw some of them at Miss Cartlidge's head because WADw had remonstrated with her for taking them with her oat of town. After that he requested his sister to confine herself to the shop. About a mouth later the petitioaer complained of having too much to do, and mired Miss Cartlidge to help her. Witness had never struck his wife, or attempted or threatened to strike her. Had told her that if she talked to the servants in the foolish manner she had done he would not sleep with her for a month. He then sent her into a room which witness's mother and sister hid occupied for years but during the latter pert of the month he slept with her there. Never emit the petitioner into the street to talk to her mother. Had once called her back to shut the door properly when she slammed It to in a passion. She said, " I shan't.' Went to her and quietly putting his arm round her said, " I cannot allow conduct like that • it is a bed example for the servants in the house. 4 She then came into the room, and set down for • few minute', and then she went quietly to bed. Never struck her or used any violence. The night before she left, witness was converging with a commercial traveller named Smith. Did not tell him that Mrs. Cart lidge was not right in her mind ; but Mr. Smith suggested that she was not. Replied, " She is as right as either you or I;it is only her violent temper ." She walked in un dressed, and began to use very violent language about wit ness end hie sister. She then proceeded to put on her stockings before Mr. Smith. Told Smith that he would probably like to go. He said he certainly should, and wit news let him oat. When he returned to the parlour be found the petitioner abudng his sister. Told her to go to bed, sad as she would not do so he carried her up, as an world a child, and laid her gently on the bed. She did not ap pear to be hurt, but she was pulling witness's whiskers end scratching his face all the way up stairs. (Laughter.) She made such 'a violent noise that she fright ened the servant girl into hysterics. (Laughter.) The petitioner was so excited that witness fearing she might do the baby an injury, told his sister to take it away fora couple of hours. Had never promised to send Miss from the house if petitioner would pay him TOW.

HZ GRIM& The bankrupt, Janais Grieves, was au extensive merchant of the Poultry, who made an application for his order of discharge a short time since. The liabilities amount to many thousands of pounds. Ha Honour said—The bankrupt Grieves has paned his last examination, end the question that remains is whether he shall have his discharge. The first observation that pimento itself is, that this is a very stale matter. Grieves was unable to meet his engagements, and stopped payment in July, 1861, nearly two years ego. Wby has Oneves been kept in a state of anxiety from July, 1861, to Marsh, 1863? Grieves has been in busbies ever since 1856, trading to Australia, the Cepa, the West Indies, and other places. He had sent to twinge countries 38,0001. worth of goods before 1861, but in 1861 he was compelled to call his creditors together, and he offered them 12a. 6d. in the payable in five instalment' in 15 months. A Mr. pound,us", who was his stepfather, guaranteed the payment of the last instalment. Grieves paid the first instalment the day after it was due. lie was unable to meet the second instalment, and Mr. Boss, his stepfather, teed the payment of that instalment, and it was pai d or four months after. The bankrupt could not meet the remaining instalments, and stopped. Hie stepfather, Mr. Buss, made him bankrupt, and to him he gave just before his bank ruptcy securities on property he had at Haverstock-hill sod elsewhere, and to the same Mr. Buss he gave authority to receive tbe proceeds of ooadgnmente made by him, Grieves, one to a firm in Trinidad, another to persons at Has Francisco, others to persons at Melbourne and elsewhere, the value of which seems to hare bees about 2,0001. He gave this authority to Mr. Buss, and then Mr. Buss made him bankrupt. He admits that he has received sham hie bankruptcy 150 E, which is due to his assignees. He cannot have his dis charge until he bee paid to the assignees that 1504 When he has paid that 1501. to the assignees I will give him his discharge. Discharge ordered. •T 7 ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

Witham French and Frederick To!hunt, two very respectable looking young men, surrendered to take their trial upon the charge of feloniously and maliciously setting fire to a stack of wood, the property of Batchelor Royer, at Holluigbourne, on the sth of November. Mr. Addison prosecuted, and Mr. Russell was maned for the defence. _ _ _ _ _ It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the prosecution that on the night in question • wood stack was discovered to be on fire in the yard of the prosecutor, and upon some persons going to the spot they maw the two prisoners apparently looking at the firs. One of them was that heard to ay, ` Let's be off, or else they will think we set fire to the stack." They then went away, but they 'topped immediately they were requested to do so, end on their being charged with having caused the am they both denied it. This was the only *video°, in support of the charge, erupt that it appeared that they had not rendered any assistance to extinguish the fire. The learned judge expressed his surprise that the prisoners should have been committed to take their trial for such a serious offset° upon evidence also shadier • character. As to the fact of their not having rendered aey assistance in extinguishing the fire being taken as • proof of guilt, he said that if this were to be so construed it would be very dangerous for &arum to go sear where • be occurred.

The prisoner, it was stated, was in the habit of receiving sometimes an much as 4,0J01, per day, bat sometimes it only amounted to 5001. A defakation of 1001. being diacormed, the prisoner was spoken tq when he said it must be a mistake of the bank, and afterwards absconded.

MARKET& SUGAR. —Baarrot., Miami 20.—1 n the eigly part of the week there was a fair and steady demand far loth rear lad refined sugar ; but yesterday the market became quiet, and to effect sales 6d. decline had to be submitted to. Rmai: There is but little doing. Demerara, la. 6d. proof. Jr.. makes, at 2a. 3d. so 2.. Bd., are soiree and wanted. COTTON.—Lrywoot., Mom= 20.—The recent Makes from America having been km indicative of together with succeeding accounts from Italie of a favour. able character for goods and yaree, have had the effort of producing a decided improvement in Manchester, whisk has had a similar influence upon this market, an active amend fur all triads having been experienced up to Wedsseday, accompanied by an advance upon the quotation of lark Friday of about ?id. per pound in American, ld. to 14 in Brasil and Egyptian, and Id. to ld. in Surat ; on that day, however, and subsequently, there has been a panes in the demand, with greater diapositkm evinced to sell, and some reaction in priors, which now ekes at id. per lb. reduction from the extreme advance above noted for Surat, and id. for Brazil and Egyptian, Amnions supporting the 'dames. Speculators have tam 16,100 bal s , co:misting of 740 American, 390 Pernans, 180 Mareio, 120 Manalsam, 770 Egyptian, 80 Peruvian, 10 West ladis, 300 Smyrna, 12,070 Surat, 610 Madras, and 830 Beard ; and exporter ; 9,o6o bales, viz, 720 Amman , 510 Per. nam, 530 Maosio, 410 Egyptian, 20 Smyrna, 100 Carths. gene, 4,690 Surat, and 2,060 Bengal. The market to-day opens with a moderate demand ; probable sales, 3,00 0 balm, of which 1,500 are for specnistion and export. COTTON GOODS.—Nancffnersa, Yaws 20.—The spirit and activity which prevailed In this market on Tues day has entirely disappeared. With the change which has takes place in the Liverpool cotton market, the feeling here has undergone a very decided change. Not only do buyers seem leas inclined to give the extreme rates which would have been given on Tuesday, but even where sellers are dis posed to accept rather easier terms no business can be done. In fact, there seems to be almost a total suspension of business to-day. The market for yarns has been fiat, and the only inquiry we find is for the class suitable to the Cal. cutta trade, which keep in fair request, at extreme prices. For all other markets there is little es nothing doing. On Tuesday yarns were in request for nearly every market in the world, and the change can only be accounted for on the supposition that the many orders known to be held for some weeks past by agents were on that day in great part executed. The probability is that the greater part of the orders which had accumulated whilst prices had been gradually giving way for some tints pe at, were precipitated somewhat prematurely on the on Tuesday, in consequence of the concurrent in. fineness of good advices from India and a rising cotton market at Liverpool, and that these orders were really so small in the aggregate as to have left little pressing business behind to sustain the impression produced at the moment. In cloth the subsidence of bushman erns Tuesday has been of a more marked character than in yarn. The impression on Tuesday was that the greater part of the purchases which were for Ind* were intended for shipment, and not for speculation ; but the fact that the demand fell off almost immediately upon a change in the cotton market tends to a different con. elusion. Sellers are asking rather fall rates, but to effect sales they would have had to submit to • decline. Haves, how ever, do not seem disposed to operate on Rey teems to-day. In other classes of goods, as well as those for India, the market is fiat. The inquiry for the home trade is very limited, and has led to little or no busies. The Gosh have not received their letters, and are awaiting the arrival of the mail. The market fee home tilde yams is tether easier, bat even with this advantage manufac turers have not been able to make offal, which will tempt buyers. In cloths there is no animation in any branch of the business, and the market closes quite ea flat as at any time during the day. CORN.—Cmcsareemo, 'Uses 20.—Thera was only a moderate supply of wheat at market to-day. and prows mad be 9ao, Ia dearer for most descriptions. Barley rather easter. Beene without change in value. DICOLL MARCO 20.—We have had a moderate supply of wheat, and last week's prime fully supported. Barley dull male, but the quantity offering was limited.

Flour was scarcely inquired for, sad vales irregular. Indian corn dull of male at 6d. per quarter under the prices cd this day week. Oats and oat meal quiet.
