Mrs. Robson had glen musical talent, and was in the habit of giving les ions. Mr. 'tutting wu also fond of music, and played the flute. During the year 1841 Mrs. ROll4Oll was in delicate health, slid Mr. Pestle used to visit her. She did not recol lect that Mr. Peede went by any . other name. Sh Redid not recollect anybody pawing evenings with Mrs. ex cept Mr. Radasg. Mr. CharleeDruse, a solicitor, proved that the defendant's place of bunny& WAS Salvador-house, Bishopsgate. Emma Smith recalled : She was servant to Mrs. Green from A rip to Nov., 1841. Mn'. Robson lived there during the whole of that time. The witness went on to state that Mr. Ruding used to resit Mrs. Robson twice or three times a week. She was eneasionally denied to fetch marmalade; fresh butter, and other things, for which she received mosey from Mr. Reding. On one occasion Mr. Reding cooked a mutton chop on the drawing-room lire. When she went to the bottom of the garden she used to see Mr. Ruding at Mrs. Robwin's heln,um window washing hi. hinds. She received directions, wle n Mr. Reding watt in the house not to go into Mrs. Roloson'e room without knocking, bat witness paid no attention to this ceder. Mrs. Robison end Mr. Reeding used to sit toge , h. r "just lake man and wife"—(laughter)—oas set on one side of the table and the other on the opposite , side. Mr. Roiling called her " Marian, my dear." She did not know what time Mr. flu fine used to go away. One Sunday afternoon Mr. Rutting called and asked if Mrs. Robson was at home. On being told she was out, Mr. Reding replied, " Oh, the hus.ey, she is at home, but she always says she is out." The witness then gave evidence as to her being directed to fetch the doctor on the occasion of Mrs. Robsou's being taken ill in the night-time, and she stated that on tie , following morning Mr. Reding Called and went into her bed-room. Mr. A. Pcede, a sue!eon, practising at Dartford, said he became acquainted with sirs. Robsun in the year 1840, when he was living at Lissen-grove and when she lived at the house of Mr. Bidden, whose :laughte r was witness's wife, Mrs. Raleniu rtmetirnes call- d him by his Christian name, as he was very intimate with the family. He remem bered being sent for one night in the summer of the year 1841, to attend Mrs. Robson. He found nothing about the room or the bed which might not have been accounted for by an ordinary occurrence. The im n-ssien upon his mind afterwards was that a miscarriage had taken place. There were some cloths there, which he took away in his pocket. trope-examined : Witness could not say wnether he had ever gone by the name of Sydney, or Hamilton. lie once lived in Woodstock-street, as assistant to a person who all' d himself Hamiltoe. Witness took the house fur Mr. Hamilton, and he lived and slept there. He went away in debt to the landlord, and he had never been able to pay the amount. He received two guineas for his attendance upon Moe Robson during the illness he had spoken of. fie hail supped with Mrs. Robson four or five times, but he had tierce remained with her later than ten o'clock, except once, when Mr. Ruding sat there also.— Ann Little, a monthly nurse, gave evidence corroborating the testimony of Mrs. Green and Emma Smith.—Ann Smith said she was a monthly nurse to Mrs. Green in the spring of 1843, and she heard Mr. ltuding say that any letters addressed to Mrs. Robson were to be forwarded to Wm. Maria Rel-son (or Riley), sister of the line Major Robert, said she rem, ushered the marriage of Alexander Hobson and Maw Marian bliddleton. When the plaintiff returned from India, she was living at Hampstead, and he came to reside with her. Mrs. Robson also lived there for a short time. Witness observed that their manner towards each other was very dill rent to what it had been formerly. After Mrs. Robson hid left the hou=e, some letters were found in a box beltieging to her. (These were the letters which the iesrned counsel adet red to in his opening address, and they were taken as rend in evidence.) This was the plaint iff's case. Sir F. Thesiger, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said it was very touch to he regretted teat by our law it was impossible for a husband to obloin a divorce without going through the ordeal of a public trial before a jury. This was the anowelowe—he had almost said degraded—position in which a man WAS placed who sought to be divorced from his wife. lie was obliged to lay before a jury all those feelings which he ought to keep closely within hie own heart, to prove the , rjury he has sudden', and to ask for compensa tion in iten.ares. It unfortunately hammed on some occa sions that, from the eagerness with which a husband pur sues his o . ject, circumstances may be accumulated together to attach suspicion to a pat ticular party, and that upon such foundation may be built a cuse of criminal intercourse, which it was essential on the part of the husband should he made clear to the jury, in order to enable him to carry out his ultimate views. The circumstances of such cane as the present varied ma terially in their extent, and, in some instances, the facts were of a much more serious nature than in others. They were now dealing with a case in which there were no aggravating circumstances, nothing to excite any feeling of indignation against the defendant; no hospitality violated, no friendship injured, no domestic peace, as far as the home was conet rned, invaded--nothing hut the simple case of the defendant's having, as was alleged, indulged in a criminal intercourse with the plaintiff's wife on which fact the plain tiff bad a right by law to found his charge against the de. fendant, end to obtain the verdict of the jury with damages. He (Sir F. Thesiger) thought they would be of opinion that if, in theultimate disch ego of their duty, they should find a verdict unfavourable to the defendant, they would feel that there were many mitigating circumstances in this ease, and that the plainriff was not entitled to substantial damages. If, as his h arned friend, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, had stated, a divorce-was the ultimate object of the plaintiff in bringing this action, nominal damages would be sufficient for that purpose. Considering himself deeply aggrieved, he had resolved to obtain redress, and had selected the defendant for his aim. It lsehovcd the plaintiff, therefore, to bring forward the most clear and cogent evidence of his euilt, before he could expect a jury to find a verdict against him. The jury Would now see what these parties were. The plaintiff was the illegitimate child of a breve soldier, and he was left in a dependent condition, having no means of advancing his for tunes in life.'"'ln order to facilitate his means of getting for ward, an intimacy was effected between him and Miss Mid. dleton, a young lady who had been left to the care of his stepmother. The result was, that a marriage took place under circumstances which reflected discredit upon those members of the plaintiff's family who had conducted them selves in the manner detailed in evidence. The learned coun sel then proceeded to coMment . uPon the evidence, and con tended that there was no proof that the odttltay had been committed by the defendant; but that if the jury should be of the contrary opinion, the plaintiff was not entitled, under all the circumstances of the case, to more than the smallest amount of dama ges. The learned judge having summed up the case, the jury returned a verdict Inc the plaintiff.—Damages 501. 'The court sat till past 8 o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. - Non Pars.—Before Sit F. Pollock, C. 8., and a London Common Jury. VOLLANS V. FLETCRER.—ALLOTMENT LEITERS SPECI 7TING CONDITIONS, TO RE PERFORMED BY ALLOTTENS , , MUST ER STAMPED AS AGREEMENTS. — This action, which resembled the now celebrated case of " Walstabh v. Spottia sroode,” recently the subject of a forte al decision of the Court of Exchequer, was brought by the plaintiff, an attorney at Hull, against the defendant, as one of the managing committee of the Birmingham, Westbromwich, Wednosbury, end Walsall Junction Railway Company, to recover back twenty guineas, the amount of deposits pad by him upon ten shares in that project. It appeared that the plaintiff, in reply to an application for shares, received a letter from Mr. Itettle, the secretary of the company, on the 29th of Omotvr, 1845, informing him that ten shares had been allotted to him by directions of the managing Cam mittee. Amongst other conditions the letter stated that the deposits of 21. 2s. per share should be paid into the Hull Bank within a specified period. The plaintiff complied with that requisition, but got no scrip in exchange for the banker's receipt. In December, 1845, the project was abandoned, andhe then applied for the deposits he had paid, but it ap peared he had not previously called upon the committee to give him scrip certificates in exchaege for the banker's receipt, although the allotment letter stated he would be entitled to them on productiou of the receipt. The committee refused to refund the deposits, and the pre sent cation was brought to recover them. The plaintiff's case, mainly defended upoti the contents of the letter of allotment, which, when praposed to be read, was objected to by the defendant's counsel, upon the ground that it was in the nature of an agreement, and it therefore could not be received is evidence without a stamp. The Lord Chief Baron held that the oNection was valid, and nonsuited the plaintiff, reserving leave to move to enter a verdict for him for 211., if the court should be of opinion that the document did not require a stamp. BARNETT' V. BATES. BREACH OF AN AGREEMENT tiertan Seat —This was an action to recover 501., for a breath of an agreement under seal. It appeared that the de fendant had been proprietor of a school at Bishop's etortford, and in 1841 enter td into an agreement to sell the good-will of the establishment to the plaintiff for 1501., which wee to be mild by instalments. It was stated by the agreement, which formed the foundation of the present action, that the de fendant should not estahlish or keep any school for the edu cation of young persons, at any time whatever, within twenty miles of Bishop's Storford, and that upon the breach of that part of the agreement he should forfeit a penalty of 50C., which was to be paid by him to the plaintiff In 1844 the defendant did establish a school for boys, and his daughter another for girls, in the town of 13ishop'sStortford, and the number of his pupils greatly exceeded that in the plaintiff's school in that locality. These being the facts, it was contended that the full penalty of 501. had been incurred by the defendant, and that it could not be liquidated. For the defendant it wail maintained, that the messing of the agree ment was, that 501. was the utmost sum the plaintiff could be. under any circumstances, entitled to, but that the jury might give their verdict for any less sum they conceived would be sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for the actual damages he had sustained by the alleged breach, and it was submitted that they ware merely nominal.

PROTRCTION OF AMBASSADORS FROM ATTACEMENT. —MART ANNE MURPHY, EXECUTRIX, O. DON THOMAS Joax MURPHY.—Yesterday the Recorder sat specially to hear some motions connected with the jurisdiction of the above court, the moat important relating to the above. The defendant is the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary from the republic of Meaux) to the court of St. James's. From what could be collected of the proceeding', —which have not as yet been brought into the Lord Mayor's Court—it would appear that the plaintiff, who is the execu trix of her deceased husband, John Murphy, had attached the sam of 3,8501. in the hands of Messrs. Schenieder, mer chants, and agents to his excellency Don Thomas Joe& Murphy, the defendant. Mr. Locke Raid he was instructed to move that the action and attachment made in 'the matter of " Mnrphy e. Murphy," and all the proceedings thereon, be adjudged utterly null and void, on the grounds that the court had no jurisdiction. The defendant being the accredited minister and plenipotentiary from the republic of Mexico, was protected from arrest and attachment by the th of Ann, cap. 12 ; an act which was passed expressly for the protection of ambassadors, foreign =miters, and their ser vants, in consequence of the Russian minister in that reign ,being dragged out of his carriage in the streets of London. A rule mai was granted ; and as his lordship had to attend a court of aldermen, the court adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. YORK.—TOESDAT. Before Mr. Justice Cromwell. THE STARTPOUTH MURDLRS.--SRCUND DAT.—The examination of witnesses for the prosecution was resumed this morning, and at half-put two, the case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Matthews rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoners Barker and Raine. The case was one altogether unprece dented in any court ofjustice, on account of its peculiar and complicated nature, and he cautioned the jury not to allow their minds to be prejudiced by anything they might have read or heard about the alleged murder previous to their coming to York. The evidence which had been given was very long, and embraced many nice distinctions, which with out explanation might seem to bear against the accused ; but which, when an explanation was given, would he found, if not fully in their favour, at all events to prove nothing against them. His learned friend bad adduced two motives as likely to actuate the parties in this case—malice or ven geance and an attempt to frustrate the ends of justice. He had also imputed a mercenary motive. But none of these motives, when properly examined, could be deemed sufficient to induce such an offence as the one alleged against his clients. Examining the facts which bad been given in evi dence, he contended that they afforded no adequate motive fur the deed imputed to them. Directing the attention of the jury to discrepancies as to time by the witnesses Ow the prosecution, he said if some of them were to be believed, ease the ti stimony of Ann Humphreys, on whom the whole ewe rested, could not be credited ; because Barker and Rains could not have been on the spot whea she said the murder was committed. The evidence of this woman was so extra, ordinary—it came to this—that she gut up from her bed without any motive ; that she went out and saw a double murder committed, and then returned home ; again went to bed, without one thought or one pang of conscience. It re quired an extraordinary degree of credibility of the human understanding to believe such a statement, especially In a ease where the consequences would be so fearful to his clients. The fact of her having kept the matter concealed within her own breast fur twelve months, was also a topic of observation, and the learned counsel proceeded to argue the proposition that the girl was never out of the house at all on on the night in question, after she once went to bed, and to endeavour to show that if she were down at the sills, her statement of chat took place there was inconsistent with the alleged murder. He should not content himself with show ing the contradictions in the case for the prosecution. It was too solemn, ton important a matter. There was too much at stake for him to take anything upon himself whilst there was anything left behind which would establish the innocence of his clients beyond a doubt. lie should call witnesses who would contradict Ann Humphreys as to various conversations, which she had denied. He should also contradict another material witness named Harrison ; and as to Barker, he should prove an alibi. He should prove that he was in the house at the time assigned by Ann Humphreys for the commission of this atrocious deed. He could not trace Raine in the same way, so far as he hoped would insure his acquittal also;a but, if Ann Humphreys' evidence was false as to Barker, which he proposed to prove, he asked, how could it be believed as operating against Raine ? The learned counsel commented in eloquent language upon the rug gA bed and rapid flow of the Tees, which were quite sufficient to account for the appearances that had been described upon the body of Yates. He suggested that Yates and Catherine Raine; who were both spoken of as being in liquor, had either thrown themselves, or fallen, into the water. He concluded a speech of two hours' duration, by stating that ho hoped and trused the jury would be able, with a firm voice and clear conscience, to return that which would give pleasure to all, and pain to none, a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Pickering next addressed the jury for the prisoner Breckon.—Witne:ses were examined for the de fence until eleven o'clock at night, when the court again adjourned. WEDNRADAT.—This morning Mr. Bliss, for the prosecu tion, proceeded to reply on the whole case. At half-peg two o'clock Mr. Justice Cresawell had not concluded his very minute summing up ; and at that hour our reporter was obliged to despatch kis parcel. Before Mr. Justice Williams. BURGLARY NEAR BRADPORD.—J. Faweett,l9, J. Daw son, 21, and A. Crabtree, 18, were charged with having, on the 10th of November last, at Idle, committed a burglary in the house of J. Murgatroy d, and stolen therein 24 handker chiefs, and other drapery goods, his property. Mr. Wasney and Mr. Johnston we re for the prosecution; the prisoners were undefended. The prosecutor lives at Idle, near Brad ford, and keeps a shop, dealing in articles of provisions as well as drapery goods. Ou the evening of the 9th of Nov. last, the prosecutor and his wife retired to rest shortly after ten o'clock, taking particular care that the windows and doors were properly fastened before going to bed. About two o'clock the following morning the prosecutor was amused by a noise, wheh induced him to get up to see from whence it arose. Oa coming into the shop, (which is on the same floor as the bed-room) he observed that the window shutters had been forced open, and various arti cles in the drapery business taken away, consisting of hand kerchiefs, prints, gingham, &c. Suspicion attaching to the prisoners, their movements were watched by the police, who went into Bolton.lane and hid themselves in a stone-quarry behind some flags. After waiting there some time the pri soners came up wi'h another man, one of whom had a large bundle, which was thrown into the stone-quarry. The watchers immediately came from their hiding - place, and en deavoured to take the whole party into custody, but they escaped. The police, however, saw sufficient of the faces of the men as to he able to identify them. The bundle in ques tion was then taken out of the quarry and conveyed to Brad ford, and on being opened it was found to contain the articles that had been stolen from the house of the prosecutor. The police kept a sharp look out for the prisoners, and in about ten days after they wire apprehended, but they did not suc ceed in taking the f meth GUM into custody. The jury found all the prisoners Utsitty.—S,-ntenee deferred. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—YESTKRDAT. Oto Cover.— Before Mr. Justice Patteson and Baron Rolfe. John Denny, 43, was indicted for the capital offence of setting fire to a dwelling-Louse, in the occupation of Alfred Cole, the said Alfred Cole and other persons being therein at the time. The prisoner occupied a room in a lodging-house in Kent-street, kept by the prosecutor ; and upon the day mentioned in the indictment, the 7th December, an alarm of fire was raised, and the prisoner wee seen to rush from the room, which was then found to be on fire in five different places. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of death was recorded against him. John Orchard. 23, a drummer in the Coldstream Guards, was indicted for stealing a gold watch and a sovereign, the property of the Hon. Charles Grimston.— The case was clearly made out against the prisoner. The prosecutor, who is captain in the above reaiment, while on duty at Buckingham Palm..., left his watch on the table in the officers' guard-room, and when be returned, he found it had been stolen. The prisoner was seem by the sentry to go into the room, and he ateconded immediately afterwards, and the stolen watch was traced to hit possession. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to bard labour for a year. The Grand Jury came into court, and the foreman stated that they had concluded their labours. He at the same time galled the attention of t he mutt to the want of proper accom modation for the witnesses, which, he said, they considered must be calculated to deter persons from prosecuting. He also begged to express the thaults of the Grand Jury for the very great assistance they had received from Mr. Streight, the deputy clerk of the arraigns, who had been deputed eo attend upon them during the performance of their duties.—They were then discharged. NEW CUURT.--(Before the Common /*Omni and Mr. Commissioner Bullock.) RorinEßY IIY A CABMAN. —Charles Barrdi, a cabman, was indicted fir having, on the 4:11 of December, stolen four soverelgus two half sovereigns, four erewns, and other monies and articles, the property of Charles Groves, from his person. The proseeutor is a country carrier, and had hired the prisoner to drive him from Notting-hill to Ealing. He (the prosecutor) had, during the journey, fallen asleep, and when he was ureic- by the prisoner, he found kis pockets had been rifled, and his purse and money gene. He gave the prisoner into the charge of the police, and the money was found in various parts of the cab, sad the purse in one of the prosecUtor's pockets, where he now swore it was not when he entered the vehicle.—Mr. lorry, for the defence, endeavoured to show that the prosecutor, Ives intozicated, and that he had a female compauton in the cab, who had dis appeared when the prosecutor arrived at hie destination, and that it was probable that she had taken the money from the prosecutor. The prosecutor distinctly swore that this was untrue--The Mort summed up, and the jury fonnd the prisoner sosilly.—The prisoner received a good tharecter.— The Common Serjeant said the prisoner's offence was a Ter; serious one, and he war on the verge of tranapartatio4.—The prisoner was then sentenced to one year's hard labour in the Howe of Correetim.. Henry and Julia Williams, brother and sister, of the respective ages of 12 and 15, were indicted for stealing two glamr's diamonds, the property of F. Starr, and Edward Williams, their father, wee indicted for receivilig them as stolen property.—lt was shown in evidence, that the prisoner Henry purloined the articles, and the sister pledged them.— The jury acquitted the elder prisoner, but convicted the others.—One of the witnesses said the cliildreu were daily sent out by their father for the purpose of plundering what ever came in their way, and they took their booty home. The elder prisoner was formerly • policeman, and was cescribed as au " artist."—The court respited the sentence, remarking that it was lucky for the elder prisoner that he had nut been convicted ; if so, he would have been tran sported, as he was leading his children to ruin and destruction, by initiating them into the art of crime. POLICE -.-YEBTERDAY. GUILDHALL, EITit•OaDINARY APPLICATION RE SPECTING • WILL. This court, consisting of Alder. men Wilson, Moon, and Farebrother, met at an earlier hour than usual, byappointment, to listen to the application of Mrs. Eliza Denman, a distant relative of Lord Denman, respecting a will made by • Mr. John 'rho mu Roe, late a b errater in the Inner Temple, but now deceased, wherein he left her • legacy of &XV., but which will had either been cone:sled or destroyed by c:rtain par ties, from interested motives.—Mrs. Delman ',tasted that a few years back Mr. Roe's father died suddenly, leaving four children, without having made any will. Mr. Thomas Roe the elder, laid claim to the property against the wishes of the rest of the family, who thought it ought to be divided amougst them, and, after a great deal of litigation, it was decided in favour of the eldest son. Applicant accidentally because ac quainted with Mr. J. T. Roe at the house of a hr. Williams, to whose daughter he was pasting his addresses. While there, Mr. Roe was requested by • lady to draw out a will ,r her in which she bequeathed a sum of 2001. to her (Mrs. Denman). Mr. Roe did so, and having placed it in his pocket, went to play at billia r ds . That Light the lady died, and, on its being announced to Mr. Roe, he said, " Good God, I have been the means of losing you 2001.," but he said he would recompense me, and he made out a will on paper, in applicant's presence, leaving her a I. gacy of 5001. This was attested by two witnesses, and handed over by the &ceased to Miss Williams. A breach took place between Mr. Roe and Miss Williams, in consequence of the former having an intimacy with a person name d Mary Ann Morrell, which resulted in Mr. Roe writing for his letters, &c., which Miss Williams sent to him, as well as the will. He then went into clambers, Morrell going to live with and it was into her hands that he gave his papers teed the will to take care of. In the will Mr. Roe had appointed Mr. Williams his executor, and, upon the sudden death of the former, he applied to Morrell, but she refused to give it up, and refused them the slightest information on the subject. Inquiries were made, and applicant received information that Morrell had the will, and had written to L edy Dim mock a lett, r relative to Mr. Roe's papers in their pos.euein. After that all parties disappeared, and she gave up the pur suit. Last year she took a house at Windsor, and wrote to the Rev. Mr. Roe for a part of the legacy, but received no answer. She then went to his residence in the c o untry, and had an interview with him, and he stoutly denied that there was any will among-t his brother's papers. She also asked Mr. Pocock relative to it, and he said he knew n this about the will. Under these circumstances she lad obtained summonses against the parties, to put such questions to them as she thought would elicit the truth respecting the will.—Eliza Hughes, sister to Mary Ann Morrell, was test questioned. She said that she certainly lead papers which she perused, belonging to the late Mr. Roe, and communi cated the fact to Lady Dimmock, but she refuse d to give them up to Mr. Williams, considering they were the pr:.p.rts of the , heir-at-law, the Rev. Mr. Rne, to whom she delivered them. She saw no will amongst those papers, nor did she believe there was one.—Mary Ann Morrell was then queetiened, the substance of het answer' , being that she had lived with Mr. Roe at his chambers. When they first lived together, he gave her the papers and will to take care of; but, about six months before he died, he came to her and asked for them, saying that he intended to go to his solicitor's and have two names scratched out (Miss Williams' and Mrs. Denman's) r emarking that be thought his child (by wit ness) might as well have the money SA strangers. She accompanied him to Messrs. Oberton and Hughes', and saw him give some papers to a clerk there. When they left, be said, • It's all right;" and shortly he proceeded into the country, where he died suddenly. Application was made by witness and her sister to Messrs. Oberton and Hughes, and received as an answer that no will of Mr. Roe's had ever been deposited with them.—A clerk, formerly in the employ of Messrs. Oberton and Hughes, produced his register-book of parties calliug ou business, and said that be remembered Mr. Roe and Morrell calling at the office and giving him a will and some papers (the former of which he handed to the magi-trates), but they related to the business of another party altogether. No will of Mr. Rue's hied ever been seen or spoken of to his knowledge.—Aid. Wilson: Well, Mrs. Denman, there is a complete answer for you.—Mrs. Denman : I beg your pardon. I contend that Mary Ann Morrell has not given a sufficient account of the wid.—The Rey. Mr. Roe said, there was no will among his brother's papers; and, in fact, he died insolvent. His estates was sold for 7,0401., which did not cover his debts.—The Aldermen ultimately decided that there were no grounds for proceedings before them, nor had anything transpired to im plicate any parties in the destruction or concealment of the will, although it appeared an extraordinary affair._ CLERKENWELL—Arremyr To RING THE CHANGES. —A suspicious-looking young fellow was charged with attempting to utter base coin, under the following circum stances ,—IIe went into the King's Head yesterday, and, throwing down a shilling, asked for half-a-pint of beer. The landlord at once detected the coin to he counterfeit, and so expressed himself. The prisoner, with well.effected surprise, " Oh, is it indeed!—here is ano her shilling," handing over a good one. The landlord sent for the police, and placed himself at the door, so as to prevent the fellow's egress. The prisoner stood by very quietly fur a tew minutes, hut seeing the landlord stooping forward, rushed upon him, and tumbled him headlong into the kennel. Ile imme diately took to his heels. The landlord raised a cry of " Stop thief! " The prisoner proved more swift than his pursuers, and after giving chase for half a mile through streets, lanes, and alleys, was at length stopped. It appeared, however, that among the most forward of his " pursuers " was some of his own associates, who no sooner saw their companion arrested, than they attacked his captors with great violence, and would have freed him but for tbo timely arrival of the police, who removed hint to the station-house. The prisoner, when asked for his defence, attempted to fasten upon the landlord the charge of substituting a bad shilling for his (prisoner's) good one. lie was questioned as to his whereabouts, but could only say that he lived in Lambeth, and that he came out for orders tor clogs. lie was remanded. CHARITY.—Five pounds have been received from C. V., and Five pounds from E. A., for the poor•box of this court. WESTMINSTER.—A VERY AWKWARD MISTAKE. — Robert M'lntosh, a coal porter, was charged with uttering a counterfeit half-sovereign.—Elizaheth Jenkins, barmaid at Mr. E. Pureill's, the King's Arms, Upper Misery-street, said that on Tuesday night, the prisoner came into her master's house and called for some 6pr u ce, in payment fur which he gave her a half sovereign. Witness thought it was bad, and upon weighing it, and finding it was very light, handed it to Mr. Purcell, who also weighed it, and told pd. soncr that it was bad, and he could not change it, when prisoner declared that it was a good one. Mr. Purcell sent for a constable and gave the prisoner into custody.—Prisoner said that he had received the half sovereign from Mr. Bone, a publican, at Chelsea, and if he were sent for he could prove that what he said was true.—Mr. Broderip requested to see the half sovereign, which was handed to him, and passed by him to Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk, when both gentlemen expressed their opinion that it was genuine. The half sovereign was then sent to a neighbouring pawnbroker's, tested, and found to be genuine. The man was immediately discharged ; receiving from Mr. Purcell compensation for his night's imprisonment. _ MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—thmvoLxver..—ln the poor-box, 101. from "A. 8.," and 3L from " T. B." - SOUTHWARK.—Tue SHAM LAWYEIL—George Paul Fitt was brought up for re-examination, charged with ob taining sundry small sums of money from Ann Elizabeth Clay and Clara Cohen, two women whose husbands were some time since convicted at the sessions, the prisoner un dertaking to secure their liberation, and by that means getting possession of the money. The prisoner's examina tion appeared in this paper on Tuesday.—Mr. Ralph Games stated that he defended Mrs. Clay's husband about six months ago, at the sessions. He (Mr. Games) had not been served with a writ or any other process at the suit of Mrs. Clay, either from the Court of Queen's Bench or Court of Exchequer, as the defendant had stated. Mr. Ileckford, signer of writs in the Court of Exchequer, said that no pro cess had been filed against Mr. Games, at the suit of Mrs. Clay. Prisoner admitted he had served no writ upon Mr. Games.—The prisoner was committed for trial upon the above charge, but was remanded for further evidence on the charge brought against him by Mrs. Cohen. WOOLWICH.—CRUELTY TO A CHILD BY ITS PARENT. Loweth, a carpenter, was charged with ill-treating his child, a little girl about nine years of age. It appeared from the statement of the child, and the evidence of two females, Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Kirk, that the defendant was a widower, and in the constant habit of besting his little girl, sometimes with his fist, at other times with the handle of a knife, and latterly with the thong of a whip, the thick end of which he occasionally tied in knots; so cruelly had he beaten her with this thong about ten days since that the child was still literally scored with stripes from her leg to her thigh. He had often kept her without food, and but tor the kind -0.4 of the neighbours she must have died—from Saturday morning till the present time she had received no food from hip, end he had often declared that he would some day or other be the death of her.—The defendant declared that she was a bad girl, and had absented herself from him while he was ill, but the poor chi.d explained this by saying that she wax afraid to venture near him on amount of the ill-treat, meat she bad received.—Mr. Jeremy, after commenting upon the barbarity of the defendant, ordered him to findheif, himself in 401. and two sureties in 101. eac/z,tokeepOsepenee towards the child, end directed the girl to be WNW 941011( by the relieving officer. In default of bail, the prism was comraftted to Maidstone. • • -- • MONEY MARKET. WEDNESDAY EY/141AG. Some time after the commeneemeut of business the market, which wee previauslyin the mum dull, inactive state as yesterday became more aullostad. Some purchase', bat of no particular consideration, raised Camila to 931, at which bargains were actually done, from 93a to t, at which they r Were quoted at the opening ; but as the purchases awed, the sock full bark to its motions standing, and on leaving off was vetted, as before, 931 to& for the opening ; Reduced Three', 94 to 1 ; Three and•a-Quarter per Cents.. 95t is 1- The government broker took a small amount of South Sea Old Annuities at 931, for the National Debt ; but appears to have i-uspendell, for the present at least, further purchases fur account of the savings' banks. Long Annuities, 91 to 16-16; Exchequer Bills, Ile. to 13'. premium. The settlement of account was the order of the day in the foreign market. Though not a weighty affair, it has prove: of rather more consecitence than several of the late liqu'Aa. times. Towards noon a speculativs purchase of ,0001. Mexican bonds disturbed the equanimity of the jobbers. The report became current of the arrival of the steamer Acadia, bringing favourable news from Mexico, particulars, however, not being m ntioned. The groundlessness of the report was shortly ascertained, and Mexican, which had suddenly ad vanoed to 241, being a rise of shoat 11 per cent., fell back so far as to 24 to 4, which left still an improvement equal to about 1 per cent. upon first quotations. This movement in the bonds was purely the re-alt of speculative action, and wish a view to attract the public into the market as pur chasers ; for it is well known that some three or four specu lative dealers in the house are loaded with stock, of which, to the amount of one million nominal, they contracted for at a low figure, at the time when the Conversion loan scheme was brought out, with the parties who negotiated that affair with the Mexican government. These loan negotiators are known to hold more than a milion, it is commonly said one million and a half, of the new bonds besides, all destined to be thrown ou the market as opportunity . may offer, sad a speculative de mand created for them, without nice reference to price. ft is to be understood that with these operations, or the loan contract out of which they arise, the respectable house of agency acting only teethe government have no concern them selves w hatever. Other foreign si curities are without material choose. Buenas Ayres, 42 to 4. Spanish Fives, 261 to g. the Threes, 371 to 1. Portuguese, 361 to 71. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 60 to 1 ; the Fours, 921 to 4. Some of the parties connected with the mission to Madrid appear to be using strenuous efforts to get up a speculation in Spanish bonds, with a view to beneficial fluctuations in prices. Senor Mon, the finance minister, and M. Bresson , the French ambassa dor in that capital, are names very freely used fur the purpose, and their sayings duly chronicled, us the things will be when they may chance to come. Senor Mona promise to propose something beneficial to the bond holders when the Cortes meet, is still the only material tact of this party combination , ; and as the wind of Senor Mon, after so many breaches, does not now pass current for much, M. Bresaon is bruughtfurward to tistify that Mon had said as much to him. It is not stated how far the ambassador was disposed to place faith in the promise himself. If ex perience may be of any use in determining the value of a Spanish finance minister's promise, it iv only necessary to repeat that Senor Mon has been in the habit of making the same promis • year by year, ever since he has been the Keeper of H.C.M.'s Treasury, and it remains still as far tram redemption as active, deterred, or passive stork.

The failure of the mercantile and manufacturing house of Schiller Mtiller, at Breslau ' had brought on the stoppage of the corresponding firm of Schiller and Co at Hamburg. The mass of debits of the first house was said to be ascertained at 800,000 florins. A mercantile concern of Hamburg, not named, was said to be involved for 80,000 florins. ENGLISH FUNDS.

So far it paused over without any accident. The market was tolerably steady all day, and with a fair bushier'. In the earlier part of the day some of the lines were better in price, such as the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, the North Staffrd. Birminghvm and Oxford, and North British ; bat they did nut entirely maintain the im provement to the close of business. The Liverpool share-market continued very (Inlet, and the transactions beirg very limited, there was no ellange worth noticing in prices. The Manchester market was miler flat, and prices had a tendency to tall, but 'eery slightly. North Statlirds were done at 3 7-16 1 ; and Birmingham and Oxford Junctions at 7 11-16 and r. the market at Birmingham was languid; the business transacted was chiefly in local lines. There were sales in the Dudley at 61 p.: Stour Valley at 48s. 9d. p. ; North Staffordshire, p. ; Shrewsbury and Birmingham (Class A) 38s. 3d., and ultimately '2 r • ; Class B, 11 p. ; and Shrews bury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire, at 11 p. " With reference to this last (says our correspondent), it is believed that the Shrewsbury.and Birmingham Company have agreed to give the shareholders two of their Class B. shares for one of the original shares in this company, on which 21. 10s. 1122 been paid. Hence the rise in their value to-day." At Leeds the share-market was mere active than on Tues day, but prices were levs firm, and in some a trifling decline took place. The market at Bristol continued in a languid state, and but a limited amount of business was done. Bristol and Exeter Thirds were done at 11 premium. Eastern Counties, 221. Caledonian, e dis.

At the request of the cha rs en . the someta folLenug resolutions, which had been prepared by the diry read rector. e f .r the coneideratien of the meeting: -" That the directors be, and are th hereby, authorired, to make applications to parliament in the next seams to effect all or any of the following objects viz.:-To enab le thin company to coneetruot lines of mayfly to 'Ambridge, Maidstone,and Canterbury, to be called Bee "Kent Railway." I'o enable this company to extant their railway to Looden-bridge. To enable this company, either reparatel y, or jointly with the South-Eastern "Lids at Company, to enlarge and arrange the London -bridge station. To amalgamate the Direct London and Portsmouth Hallway Company with this company ; and also to enable the • onelon and South Western Railway Company to partieipate in the part of t he Direct Portmouth Railway situate between Dorking end Portsmouth. T o enable this company and the South-Western Railway Company to purchase and hold jointly, the part of the Chichester and Ports mouth Extension of the Brighton and Chichester Railway, attune between !Levant, or Cesium, and Portsmouth. That the capital fur the Kent Railway be 1,900,0e01., and be raised in stock, to be called the Kent stock; the holders of which shall participate only in the profits arising from such railway. That one moiety of such Mock, in shares of 21/. e :eh, in moordance with the arrangement with the late Kent Atmospheric Railway Company, be offered to that company. That the ecripholders therein be required to exercise their option, by pay ing into the banking-Lowe ot Meters. Smith, Payne, and emiths, or Messrs. Glyn, Hallifax, and Co.. a deposit of 21. 2s. per share, and executing the parliamentmy contract on or before the 20th day of December instant. That in such contract deed, powers be i welted, giving the oirt•cture of the Lonilots Brighton, and South Coast Rail way, unlimited authority to Menem or dimuneh the capital for the Kent Railway ; to vary the course commencement, or termination of the several lines of railway ; t abandon, at any time, the application for them, or to confine the application to any portion of teem ; to enter into such arrangements, and generally to do, or to omit to do, ali swat acts as they may thila adorable. That the other moiety of the capital, and any sham not taken under the preceding option, be raised by the directors in such manner as they may deem expedient. That the agreement submitted to the meeting between this company and the south-Western Railway Company, relative to tolls and sta tions be and Is hereby confirmed." The Chairman add the general policy of the directors, whether in relation to their own line or to line , belonging to their neighbours, was comprehended in the short word "peace." Proof of this was afforded by the good untie .eitanding which now subsisted Mtween the south-Weetern tint the Leighton Commune*. When he tact met the proprietor', the contrary was the cue ; but those companies had fence thought that the interests of the proprietors end of the public were most likely to be cemented by a good understanding between companies whose lines were placed in juxta-position. Recent acts of parliament bad provided for the public Interest as reseeded the charges imposed for goods and passengers; but the interests both of companies and of the public might still he preju diced. When two eompanies capable of entering into competition with each other maintained a struggle for ascendancy, laxity of dis cipline followed, and the effort to keep down expenses, in order to pay dividends, was injurious to both partite. If, for example, in the case of the South-Western Company and themselves, there should be a contention for teethe which brought down the dividend to a v. ry low amount, the effect was a great deal of screwing and cutting down of expenditure; and the public, instead of being rerv4 would, in 99 threes out of 10a, he jeopardised by such proceedings. He wished that lii the mei hmetern part of Kent they had met with the name depositein for tame which had led to its entabliehment in the went. 'they bed endeavoured to secure relations of amity with the South-least. n Companythut they had been met with a sorcof policy which preclude,: them from taking any other course than that N bleb they submitted for the approval of the meeting. The South-Eastern Company intended to apply to Parliament this year, lint fur a line from the Greenwich Railway direct to Croydon ; in the next place, for a line to Shorelium. (Cries of "No, no," and "It is witherawn.") The effect of their being successful in the tiret ease would ha that the entire toll now received by the London and Brighton Company on the Croysi n portion of their line would be abstracted. Thetuneunt the- lost wuuid Lc 2:1,0001. a year. This adverse intention had neonate. Bed on their part • orrtsponding attempt at self-protection. They de sired to submit to earthmen: an appli.ation for the enlargement of the joint-station in London, in conjunction with which there was to be a line running from the elation, ao as to save the toll over the Greenwich line. lie next came to what might look an advance into the name's territory, vie. ' the Kenneth linen. In the Lea three sessions of parliament they had been contending with the South- Eastern Company for the south coast truffle to Mistime. After the London and Brighton Company had aucee meal in obtaieing their line h o el Brighton to Hastings, au the subsequent session, the suth.Eart ern Commune nor the thud time, renewed their application for a line from Tositinelge Welke to Boeings and parliament, though it had grunt." the London and Brighten application in the preced.og ethion, was inconsistent enough to give its element. When that line was completed, the result would be the aletraction of the south coast traffic from the London and Brighton Company by the South .ithetern (brawny. This year the latter company were going to eaniament fur their Mid-Kent schemes, which would divert the whole of their traffic nom Hastings, and, to the eastward, off a por tion of their owe line, without touching the London amid liriguton property in the least- This policy was so unlike a peaceable one, that the directore felt compelled, in melt-defence, to adopt the course sketched in the resolutions. Ile wax happy to static to the meeting that he had received a meat number of Fetters from gentlemen venue of whom Ira! members of parliament) on the line between Tonbridge Wells and L melon, who were exceedingly anxious for the proposed line, find 1.-. ad promised to give the application their support. Ile amkl not detain the meeting wits any further satement. It was, he repeated, the wish and object of the directors to maintain peace with all their neiehboure, b A, at the mrite time they telt bound to do all they could for the interest of the proprietors. It war was to proceed, they were de enniued to pursue their object te the utmost. They were not afraid of war, though they held out the olive branch of peace for the acceptance of their opponents. He crawl ailed by moving the resolutions read by the secretary.-Mr. Wilkinson, a director, so:ended the motion. Mr. Levy disapproved of war, so long as it could possibly be avoided. Ile thought an amioabLearrangenient might yet be made with the South-theta! Company. It was nut to be supposed that the Litter company would sit idle while they carried out all them pr jets. Ile had been !esteemed to conic there to represent proms w ho hold stock to the amount of 500,0 Ol e and who greatly dem ecated hostili ties. War coulee only end in each company losing a great part of Its traffic, and a great part of the line of each becoming melees. He con cluded by prelim:Mg an amendment in acondance with them views The Chairman deprecated insinuatioca that the directors entertained a wish fur war without first the ei taping what Si cps they lied taken to populate their thighimure : and what had been the remit ! Seve ral meetings bad taken place between the Southathetern directom and the Brighton ; and the treatineet which the latter had met with was anything but countess or conciliatory. The momene the South- Eastern directors met them in a proper spirit, be pleage d himself that the tiroperly of hon. proprietors should not le endangered by war. Mr. 111 'Lauren compared the conduct of the directors to that of a nun who, while calling out ecace, Demented a Mind as the alterna tive. To propose parallel tines was very aggreesive conduct. The directors had already quite enough on their hand. without any of these projects. Ihe team t iny had a capita of flaitio,ooo/., arid an in come of only 150,000/. This I:easement elicited a long dime...den between the proprietor and the directors. From the statement of the latter it appear.. d that Mr. Mlauren pad included in his estimate of capital the money which the company had power to borrow, and that the actual amount Mcapitel paid up amounted, with borrowed money, to 5,1100,0 th I. A shareholder theught it wasneereary to pare the remote lions emanated by the direetura, in order to enable them to negotiate lions of peace. Mr. second.' the amendment of Mr. Levy. Ile objected to giving the directors power to Mee 1,90,0001., without knowing the limier nature of their plane. The law expenres of the Brighton end Croydon Companith had amounted to 150,000/., and he dreaded their incurring additional CIIICRIWY. Even If they suceeeded In their applica , lone, the lines, when constructed, would tnjure their neighbours without benefiting themselves. - Hear.) The Chair nem repeated his former statement, that the rotated efforts hail been made by the directors to secure an amicable erningement. Mr. Muster, a dpi eche, said that in the conferee= with the South Eastern Board, the proportions , of the Brighton Board were bared on the principle eif manitaining their own, and not interfeeing In any way with their orpimentt. The counter proposition was that they Meek' g.ve time South-lectern ampany leave to wean' a h..e to Croy don in opposition to their own iine; and in that one the South-Euetern Boar,' said they would Mee their assent to the con,truetion of Imes into Kent,- a mum , which they ;the Brighton Board never desired, and the ailoptiou of which would entablesh eternal ) warfare.-Mr. Pervious, another director, confirmed Mr. Shutter's statement. Mr. Deaden raid he was one of their, who met the Brighton directors on behalf of the eoutli.Ethtern Cunifewy, and he begged to nay that the meeting had only heard OM Side of the emotion. The London and Brighten directors proposed that, if the South-Esetern Company mese the al ithlieta line, they should continue to pay the are toll as before. Mr. Cohen exprethel tiring di.approlation of the amaltramattho with the Direct London and Po temouth company ; and contended, that to the London and Heighten ceentanythearrangement 'MR a very diataveutateesthime. Aceoi ding to the evidence of Severs. S:ephenron used Brunel. it was rot at ali probable that the line would be con ntructed wthin the oriented estimates. There were many proprietors who joined wan him in repudiating the agreement, which originated, he coincided, entirely with the Portemouth and Croydon directors. Of count, the Reran...emetic was adeentagesith to those who received for Si!., stock worth in the. market GM; but the Brighton proprietors generally woe phi* m ins very different position. He then proceeded to blElleol the direttors of having cad rebates in the market in such a way as he evince that they had peutitecl greatly by the arrangement. This lIENIAVROD called forth an theist:tent dinclaimer on the part of the directors, end the explanation of two, whom the proprietor named, went to Meow that the transactions referred to them were in reality in amount of other per with whom they were contucted.-Vhe Chairman said that as long as LW occupied the chair he would hot eon. seat to an.wer questions and charges which implied that he and hi. brother directors were not honest non. Set nal eleuebolders express ed their regret at the personal imputations which had been made, and disclaimed all concurrence in them. After considei•ahle pereinal altercation between Mr. Cohen and the directors, Mr. Levy Najd lie had no desire to prem his amendment ; be. wax only that a peaceable theme Mould be Billowed if it could be consistently with time interest of the shareholders.-The amendrueut wan then wittelrawn, end the original motion carried with three die entieuts-A vote of thanks was given to the chairman and the directors.
