We are confident, how ever, that political animus must have its influence in pro ducing such wayward behaviour. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. CURIOUS DISCOVERY or A ROBBERY.—At Liverpool, on Friday, Samuel Hickey, • sailor, was charged with having stolen a purse containing 581. 10i. the property of H. J. Royal, half-pay captain, formerly o f 60th foot. The pro secutor stated that he was a passenger from Quebec, on board the Louisa. In the storm of the 19th, 20th, and 21st of September, while off the banks of Newfoundland, the ship was dismasted and rendered unmanageable. Her pitching was so violent, that every thing of a moveable nature was sent flying in all directions--his trunk among the rest; and which, he said, was sent to and fro along the cabin like a weaver's shuttle, until it was broken to pieces, and the contents strewed about the floor. The most valuable portion of the pr ,petty—a small black silk bag, tied with a piece of shoe tape, and containing 581. 10s., which he had deposited in his trunk for safety, could not be found, although he publicly, there and then, offered • reward of ten pounds to any man who would produce it. On the 22nd the barque Lord Sandon fell in with the Louisa, and took off the captain, passengers, and crew, arriving in Liverpool on Wednesday night last. Th ursday afternoon he (the prosecutor) went on board the Lord Sandon, to look after the remnant of hie property, when a policeman asked him if he had lost • purse, containing money, during his passage across the At lantic. He replied that he had, and was then taken to the Bridewell, where he was shown the purse and the prisoner. He at once identified the latter as one of the sailors of the Louisa at the time of her wreck, and also the purse as the one he had lost. The purse, when taken from the prisoner (who had merely been taken into custody for drunkenness), by the Bridewell keeper, contained 521. lt—Committed fur trial. S UPERS TITION AND CRUELTY IN 1846 !—William Tom linson, farmer, and Geo. Haworth , carter, both of Oswald twisle, and John Garden, of the Guide, farmer, were charged at the Haslingden petty sessions last week, by William Hindle, with having committed a most violent and unpro voked attack and assault upon him, on the 21st September last It appears that Hindle, by some ignorant persons, is considered ' a witch." Hindle happened t o be in the B lack Dog pablic.house, i n Oswaldtwisle, on the 28 th of September last, where the defendants , were. Garsden, on seeing Hindle, asked him if he was not a witch, and immediately jumped upon Hindle's belly, and swore that he would put his brains together, and finish him. Hindle then left the house, when Haworth came after him and pulled him back, and kicked him severely, and tore his clothes. Tomlinson swore he would kill Hindle, and stuck his fingers into Hindle's eyes, and said he would tear them out, and afterwards kicked and struck him severely. The defendants called Hindle's brother, w'io, they said, would give the complainant a bad character. Bindle's brother said that he had heard. and believed it to be true, that his brother could witch ; and that if he went into a ahippon where there were several cows, by touching one of them he could witch the whole, and make them unwell. The defendants were fined 21. and costs. STOLEN PROPERTY CLAIMED BY A Tniay.—At Liverpool on Friday an elderly man, named Monaghan, was charged with having stolen a hogshead. It appeared that Peter Ticle, clerk to Mr. Taylor, a coal-merchant, observed the prisoner iu the act of rolling the hogshead away. Having seen the same tub in Tyrer and Glover's yard, he had the prisoner apprehended. It was the fourth time Monaghan had made an attempt to steal the same hogshead. Prisoner: " No; it's not the fourth time—its only the third, and I think, when I suffered • month for it before, I ought to have some claim to it now." (Laughter.) Mr. Rushton : " You ought to know that stealing it before gives you no claim to it now." Prisoner (scratching his head, and looking inno cently): "I thought it did, sir:" (Laughter.) Ile was committed for trial. - - - --- --- APPREHENSION OP A RUNAWAY CLERK.—On Saturday se'nnigkt, Joseph Clay, of Cheetham-hill, clerk, at a salary of 2001. a.ycar, to Messrs. Schuster and Co., near Man chester, not appearing at the office on Monday and Tuesday, suspicion was excited on its being ascertained that he had drawn at the bank in the name of his employers, but without their consent, 4051. The police were despatched in pursuit, and he was arrested in Liverpool, having taken his to America, under the name of Johnson, in a vessel= should have sailed on Sunday, but was delayed. GLOCCES rkaism RE. THE FL NERAL OP COL. LORD JOHN SostmlazT took place in Bristol Cathedral on Friday. Immediately preced ing the coffin walked the Serjeant Major of the district, hav ing at his side the sword which le rd John wore at the battle of Waterloo. The coffin was borne by eight serjeants, some of whom had the decorations on their breasts which indicated that they also had served with the deceased attlie memorable battle. - - • --- TILE PORT or BRISTOL.—A correspondent has favoured us with a tabular statement, extending from the year IEO6 to 1846, inclusive, of the tonnage rates, and the rates on goods, paid in Bristol, in disproof of certain statements which appeared in a report in our journal on the 7th instant, indicative of a great and growing decay in the trade of that port. It must be observed that the report in question was, and professed to be no more, than a notice faithfully abridged from one of the Bristol papers of the proceedings at a public meeting there, at which many leading merchants, bankers, and members of the Corporation were pre sent. For the correctness of the facts stated by the various speakers we cannot, therefore, he held responsible further than as to the fidelity of our transcript from the report. Our correspondent would have done well to have attended on the occasion, when, with his figures in hand, he might better have rebutted the assertions made. The table transmitted, (which is much too long for insertion), undoubtedly shows a great increase in the trade of Bristol, as between the two extreme points, but for terms of years successively that trade was painfully stationary, as the table demonstrates. But progress is comparative as well as posi tive. To form a proper judgment, it would be necessary to collate with his returns those of other ports, such as London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Hull, &e. His figures, too, on proper dissection by skilled hands in Bristol, might be explained into different or qualified results. We may just state that his table gives a total aggregate receipt of tonnage and goods rates, for 1806, of 11,3°31., which had progressed to 29,6841. in 1846, the years in each case ending with the 30th of April, although rtes were remitted in 1831 and since, to the amount of from 8001. to 1,0001. a year. DURHAM. POBT.OPFICE Ws.' s.—The Gateshead Observer thus states the complaintsof some good folks in the north : " Sun derland wants a post-office .—the only place it now has appropriated to the whole of its post-office business, is a room about 18 by 15 feet, in a dwelling-house--the other portion of which is occupied by the post-mistress. It wants a post-master :—the lady who is presumed to superintend the extensive business of the office is far advanced in years, and ought to be placed on a comfortable retiring pension. It wants a more efficient establishment in every respect—a distinct department for money orders, constantly accessible, from 9 till 6. At present the money order office opens at 9—closes at 104 on the arrival of the south mail—opens again at a little past 1 l—closes for the making up of the north mail at 11—opens again, for half-an-hour, s up o It then closes for the south mail—reopens at 34—and remains open till about 41. It is then dosed again for half-an-hour, when it opens a little past 5 till 6 o'clock. A pretty amount of accommo dation for the " greatest shipbuilding place in the world ! " " the fourth post in the kingdom ! " a borough represented by the -' Railway King," and possessing a population of nearly 60,000 inhabitants! Sunderland also wants earlier' arrivals and later despatches. The first south mail is nearly f'A hours in reaching Sunderland from London. It sleeps all night at Newcastle. It comes with news which is no news, because 12 hours stale—the " rail " bringing the daily papers the night previous, ready for every gentleman's dinner, tea, or supper table, as he may be a late or early diner. Sunderland wants the circumbendibus system of post-office travelling to Hartlepool and Stockton reformed; so that, instead of on the third day, as at present, letters may be answered from these places os the same (or, at furthest, the second) day. Why not? Why should there not be a morning despatch to York, Leeds, Manchester, and Liver pool, so that letters might arrive and be delive red the same day, and answers if necessary, returned the following day? RAILWAY FARES AND CHARGES FOR PARCELS.—There arc many anomalies in the rates for passengers and goods charged by railway companies. Frequent comparisons are made of the fares of the Hudsonian Lines," and those of other companies, and the charges of the London and Bir mingham Company are often quoted, to the prejudice of the Midlands. But there is one fact which is against the favoured company, their charge for light parcels (not ex ceeding 141b5.), from London to Leicester, is Is. 3d. Of this amount the London and Birmingham take ls., and the Leicester agent takes twopence for delivery, thus leaving the Midland Company one penny for twenty miles' comae, and the trouble of keeping accounts ; and to attend to We work, clerks are engaged day and night. To keep up a monopoly of this traffic, it is so arranged that parcels con signed to the railway . carriers, cannot he delivered till the second day, or we might get parcels of 501bs. for Is. There is no doubt that the London and Birmingham Company could convey them for half the present charges, and pt ample profits. NORFfiLh. A Sysrms or QUACKERY has just been exposed in this county. About six weeks since Mr. Myhill, farmer, Horsey-next-the-Sea. died. Owing to a report that Mrs. Myhill had administered something to her husband which she had requested the servant to say nothing about, an in quest was held on the 24th ult., and adjourned to Friday last, when it appeared that Mrs. Myhill had obtained some medicine of Thomas Staples, a " horoseopical ehymist," at Reepham, but on examination of the remains in the phial and a postmortem examination, proved that nothing del.- Serious had been administered. In his evidence the coroner, the quack chymist said he was accustomed to prescribe fur people, according to the nature of the disease, which he found out by " the rule of science and the rule of study," which enabled him to prescribe for persons whom he had never seen. He neither wanted to know the name of the party, nor yet to know the nature of the disease from the person himself. He could tell a person's age and where he was born, and had practised this for more than twenty years. And such was the credit given to his pretensions that at the close of the inquest people flocked to him for advice, and there were from 20 to 30 persona in the inn ready to put themselves under him as patients. Surely the schoolmaster is wanted in Norfolk. Am SCHOOL is about to be erected at Yarmouth. ' has been devoted to the purpose. SUFFOLK. DEED OF THE LATE PREMIER.—The following Sir Robert Peel's unobtrusive benevolence was - Mr. Wilderspin, in the course of his Lecture Mechanics' Institution, on Tuesday evening. A RAOOIO 13 A sum of MI. 1 A. GOOD DE instance of Sir mentioned by IS • at the Ipswich We (Suffolk Chronicle) give it in the speaker's own words : .‘ Some of you have heard of Haydon, the painter, whose death was rather lamentable; and, no doubt, you have beard that Sir Robert Peel, the late Prime Minister of England, sent that man 501. in his &stress. It ought to be known, by my moving about the country in this manner—and I never thought of self, for I always had faith that my country men would not allow me to die in a Union, and that the Almighty would not allow me to ask for the common neces sar es of life— that I had spent all my money. I was at last reduced to the utmost extremity. I wanted a crust of bread, yet I kept the secret within my own breast. I set out for an obscure village, where I thought I would end my days. A friend called upon me. And when I had not a sin g le stilling in my house, when I had nothing to offer him, for I felt I should degiade my cause by running into debt, when my poor dog was as thin as my children, 501. came from the Prime Minister of England, Sir Robert Peel. Thus you see there are two men whom he has benefited. One is now in the eternal world, and the other is the humble individual who stands before you." ESSEX. A NEW SPECIES OP MO•sosIANIA.—At Stratford resides an old and eccentric personage , possessed of considerable house property, who has a monomania for empty houses, and to such an extent does he indulge in this species of madness, that houses which would realise an annual aggregate rental of between 5001. and 6001. he allows to stand empty, nor will the solicitations and importunities of his best friends induce him to let them. lie is in the daily habit of calling on some of his neighbours, as he states, for a chat to pass away the time, but when interrogated about permitting his houses to stand empty, he invariably replies he has no time to attend to that matter. The loss already sustained, in parochial rates, i.• the parish of West Ham, from this empty-house mania, is estimated at from 1,1001. to 1,2001. Vibe 'Drama. HATMARKET.—So scanty was the audience at this theatre on Saturday night, that the house, despite its fresh and bright decorations, looked quite cheerless. It was time, therefore, for the manager to offer some new entertainment to the public, and accordingly there was presented, for the first time, a drama, in three acts, " founded on the' Mous quetaires de la Heine,'" called " Queen Mary's Bower." On the assumption that this piece is a fair specimen of the distinction between " versions" or " adaptations" of French plays, and productions " founded" on them, we unhesita tingly declare our preference of the latter. "Queen Mary's Bower" turns upon a plot in the abstract identical with that of Halevy'a opera, but the treatment is essentially English, the personages, the wants, the allusions, the scene, all Eng lish. Then, instead of a clumsy translation of a vapid French text, the dialogue is original, elevated in tone, choice in diction, always vivacious, and often witty. Consi dered as a literary production, and making every allowance for the fact that it is cleansed of the stupid lyrics which are accounted proper to opera, " Queen Mary's Bower" is not approached even by the work that suggested it. To the foreign author, however, is due the invention of a story full of dramatic effects, not improbable in its complications, but diverting in its difficulties, and natural in the solution. The scene is laid at Hampton Court in the days of James 11., and his Queen, Mary Beatrice, the least renowned of unfor tunate princesses. There quartered are Captain O'DonogAue, and Lieutenant Ormond, of the Queen's troop of Life Guards, and the Laird of Killekrankie, a major of Scotch Dragoons; the first an Irishman of irrepressible spirits, unostentatious courage, and insatiable taste for gallantry ; the second a quiet contemplative Englishman; the third an old soldier, who regards the duello as the subliroest institu tion of civilised society, hates O'Donoghue for the imper turbable good humour with which he explains away all topics of offence, and loves Ormond as the son of an old and departed comiade. On duty at Hampton Court also, as maids of honour, to the Queen, are Lady Arabella Mordaunt and Miss Lucy Desbrough. The hand of the former has been promised by the Queen to a Spanish grandee, the Duke of Villa Hermosa, but she is in love with Ormond, and she believes that he is the person who overheard her make the avowal of her affec tion for him to one of her companions, and that it is with him that she is interchanging, though before the world they appear strangers, unsigned loveletters deposited in a certain tree in thegarden. Lucy Desbrough suffers a sneaking kind ness, as it is termed, for O'Donoghue, who, though he really prefers her, is the correspondent of Arabella, whose secret lie has overheard, with the exception, indeed, of the name of the person she loves, which, however, he fancies must be his own. The first act terminates with a meeting between Arabella, attended at a discreet distance by Luey and O'Donoghue, in Queen Mary's Bower at 11 at night, in which the7atter;escapes undiscovered, hut is dismissed for his forward ness, after the failure of some ludicrous attempts to induce the lady to name the person she loves. In the second act it is an nounced to Ormond that by the death of a cousin he has become the Marquis of Elrington. He, at once, makes known to ("Donoghue that he loves Arabella, and asks his friend to present him to her. At that moment Arabella and Lucy approach ; the presentation takes place ; and Ormond is perfectly confounded at the trea t ment which he receives. Lucy is induced to mediate, and is successful ; but, just as a page brings a note, summoning him to the presence of his mistress, Ormond is arrested on • charge of treason and murder. The punctiliousness of his Scotch friend had com pelled him the night before to challenge a man, named Barnewell, and that very morning had been fixed for the , duel; but, almost immediately after the quarrel Barnwell had ' been slain in the street. The duel has not taken place, but on the body treasonable papers implicating the Marguisof El rington have been found. At the news of the arrest, Arabella and Lucy come forward, and the curtain drops on the second act, as they declare, to the amazement of Ormond, the con fusion of O'Donoghue, and the delight of the Scotch major, that they will, in a court of justice, attest on oath the pre sence of Ormond in Queen Mary's bower, for the purpose of keeping an assignation with Arabella, at the very moment when the murder of Barneteell must have taken place. In the third act, the innocence of Ormond has been made clear ; he is about to marry Arabella, with the Queen's consent; but, is an interview with her, he discovers the trick that has been played by some one, and he vows the death of the man who has been guilty of it. He first applies to the Scotch major to find out and challenge the dehnquent ; but that worthy has forsworn the duello, having made a vow to St. Andrew that if Ormond should escape he would never again engage in a personal quarrel. He then applies to ("Donoghue, who promises that he shall be avenged. To keep this promise without committing suicide, the Irishman hints to the Scotch major that he would like to fight a duel with him; and, after a most amusing scene, in no way inferior to the similar one in " The Rivals," the Laird becomes convinced that to fight in Ormond's quarrel is not to fight in a personal quarrel, and the duel is arranged. Before it takes place O'Donoghue finds Lucy, with some solemnity takes leave of her, and at the same time charges her to deliver a certain letter to Ormond an hour after he has gone. Before she can recover from the perplexity and distress which this communication has occasioned, Ormond appears, and produces a glove which be has picked up in the bower, and she pronounces it to be one that O'Donoghue had snatched from her. The violence of Ormond induces her to hand him the letter, which contain's O'Donogltue's avowal that it was he who had met Arabella. It is only by confessing her love that Lucy succeeds in paci fying the enraged marquis ; and at that moment the Laird appears, congratulating himself on that coolness of eye and skill of hand which has enabled him, nn discovering that O'Donoghue was not defending himself, to divert to the arms a lounge aimed at the breast of O'Donoghue. Arabella then enters, and the piece terminates in the re conciliation of the two friends, the arrangement of a double marriage , and the approbation of the Laird. This piece was admirably acted, and equally well put on the stage. The burden of the performance rested chiefly on Mr. Hudson, who played the Irishman, and Mr. *Webster, who enacted the Scotchman. These gentlemen brought out the contrast of the two characters most happily, and in their individual parts exhibited proof of great care and matured study. Though the play, considered as a literary performance, is supe rior to the French original, in dramatic interest it is inferior. The latter has all the incidents of the story above narrated, and, for the extrinsic influence to which the personages are subjected, an element of terror more potent than the wrath of James 11., and all his court—it is on the will of Richelieu that the fate of the personages is made to depend. lintberittp Jab (laical flelts.

Sr. PANCILAS.—The Rev. Mr. Judkin, of the Somer's-town chapel, has written to us to point out an inaccuracy in a paragraph which appeared in our Friday's impression. Lie denies that there has been any dispute" between him and his rector, the Rev. 91r. Dale. "haying," he mys, "to meet the call of two full nervier.% in the morning and afternoon, to which only I was appointed, I have re signed the office of Sunday evening lecturer and for the prevent the incumbent, with whom the nomination rests, has consigned the duty to the Rev. Mr. Beanies." ---------- Mr King attempted toscreen himself by attributing what had been done to his assistant —Mr. Mohler submitted that the came was a most flagrant one against the government agent, who had solicited to be employed in the matter, and had afterwards betrayed the captain, who having been absent from England twenty years, was not aware of the state of the law, and relied entirely upon the judgment of the agent.— The Lord Mayor said that Mr. Hobler's view of the case was perfectly correct. The Government agent was the offender, and he hoped the solicitor to the Admiralty would take care that the matter should be represented to the Board cf Trade. —The solicitor to the Admiralty said that if he had known what had come out in the presence of his Lordship, he cer tainly would have hesitated before he charged the captain, and that he should take care that the case should be repre sented to the Board of Trade.—The captain said that he should take the boy with him as a seaman, and his Lordship discharged both defendants. GUILDHALL.—FELONIOUS " WATER-MA RICS."—Mr J Freeman, inspector of forged notes at the Bank of England, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, for detaining a sheet of paper belonging to Mr. A. M. Job, a stationer, in Bread-street.—Mr. C. Fmhfleld, one of the solicitors to the bank, appeared on behalf of the defendant.—Mr. Job com plained of the detention of a sheet of paper manufactured by him, and bearing the name of Dupont and Co. in the water-mark. Mr. Freeman took it from him a mouth ago at the Bank of England. He called on complainant and inquired about some paper he had made for Mr. Thornton, the same gentleman that committed suicide in a station house a short time since. Witness told him he thought he had preserved one sheet of it fur his register of specimens, but of course be could not part with that. He found the sheet and took it to the bank to show Mr. Freeman, who seemed to want to keep it. Witness tel him he could not part with it, but he delivered it to him to show to the governor. After keeping him waiting for a longtime he returned, and said he intended to detain it. Witness was obliged to take this course upon principle, to show that even the bank could not be suffered to treat people in an arbitrary manner.--Mr. Freshfleld said that after Thornton had destroyed himself a short time since while in custody, charged with having posses sion of a forged note, at his lodging were found a plate and implements fur preparing forged notes, and it was discovered that Mr. Job had manufactured the paper for him. The paper had the curved or waving bar in the water-mark pre cisely like the Bank of England notes. and by one of the acts for preventing forgery it was enacted that no person should manufacture paper with a curved or waving bar water-mark, on pain of transportation for 14 years. The way in which Mr. Job met the inquiry induced the Bank to believe he had offended inadvertently, and no proceed ing was taken against him, though the mischief he had en abled Thornton to commit was enormous. Mr. Job had manufactured for him paper for 10,000 notes, which might have been filled up as 1001. or 1,0001. notes, and circulated in India and Europe. The paper had fortunately been seized at Alexandria, on its way to Cairo, where Thornton had an establishment. If Mr. Job flattered himself that he might lawfully have possession of paper on which he could fabricate false notes, he was mistaken. It was declared to be a felonious act to make such a water-mark, or to have a sheet of such paper in possession. He warned Mr. Job that he would be treated ea a felon if he were found offending again.--Mr. Job said the act Mr. Freshfleld referred to only related to the making of paper to be used in England, but he had a perfect right to make paper in any fashion for exportation, to be used by banks in foreign countries. Mr. Alderman Gibbs inquired for the section of the act to which Mr. Fresh field had referred.—Mr. Freshfleld handed to him the 11th Geo. IV., cap. 66, sec. 13, 14.—Mr. Alderman Gibbs read it, and said Mr. Job was certainly mistaken. There were no words of limitation in favour of paper made to be used abroad. It was unlawful, under any circumstances, for any one but the bank of England to make paper like theirs in respect to curved or waving watermark lines. Mr. Alder man Gibbs recommended Mr. Job to withdraw his corn plaint.—Tke bank retained the sheet of paper in issue. It was produced in court. It was larger then a bank-note, and had a border of watermark all round, the words " Dupont and Co." appearing at the top and bottom, and " Egypt" on each side; but a distinct water-line showed where this border might be cut off, leaving a centre-piece exactly the size of a bank-note, and leaving a watermark of curved or waving lines exactly resembling the bank-note. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mennen IN SPITALFIELDS.— Sergeant King, 16 H, informed Mr. Broughton that Daniel Crawley, who was stabbed last Saturday night in Spitnlfielda by a woman, named Anne Sinner, had expired. On Friday Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, went, accompanied by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, to take the evidence of the dying man, which did not differ from the particulars already given in our journal.—Mr. Broughton gave directions to the officer to have all the evidence ready for the next examination of Anne Sinner, alias Ruffey, who will then be charged with the murder of the deceased. MARLBOROUGH STREET. MRB. LeMAX. Mr. Lomax, a solicitor, eldest son of General Lomax, attended to give some explanation of the circumstances under which General Lomax allowed his son's wife with her infant child to remain in a state of destitution (particulars have already appeased in our paper). Mr. Lomax said General Lomax was not disposed to do more for his son than allow him a sufficient sum to maintain him. Captain Lomax was a person of such habits, that it was quite impos sible to entrust him with money. He would spend it in dissipation, or if supplied with clothes, he would make away with them immediately. General Lomax gave his son a stated allowance, and could only refer the wife to his son for support.—Mr. Hardwick said, from the statement of Mr. Lomax, it was quite clear she had no prospect of receiving assistance from her husband, and it was a question for General Lomax to determine, whether it would not be advi sable, instead of paving the whole allowance to his son, to set aside a portion or it for the use of his daughter-in-law and his infant grand-daughter.—Mr. Lomax could not recom mend the general to adopt this course. Mr. Hardwick said Mrs. Lomax was in so deplorable a state of destitution as to render a resort to parish relief inevitable ; conse quently it would be necessary that a warrant should issue against Captain Lomax, and if he did not satisfy the parish he would he sent to the House of Correction.—'Mr. Lomax said General Lomax would not interfere to check the opera tion of the law. LAMBETH. —THEATRICAL FRACAS. - Mons. Wellens, the owner of the " Pyrenees" dog, applied for assault warrants against Mr. Barry, tne clown, and Mr. Broad foot, the stage-manager, of Astley's Theatre. From the statement of the applicant, it appeared that nn the night before, he was engaged, with his dog, to play for Mr. Barry's benefit, in a piece in which his dog was to exhibit so:ne extraordinary feats. Owing to some cause or other things went wrong, and the applicant, attributing the want of success to a deficiency in the properties, and a want of proper rehearsals, vented his feelings upon the carpeater of the establishment. While in his dressing-room, he was attacked by Messrs. Barry and Broadfoot, and severely ill-treated. M. Wellens, who speaks the English language but imperfectly, exhibited marks of severe ill-treatment, and the warrants were granted to him, as desired. SOUTHWARK.—A MESMERIC PATIENT. A tall, emaciated-looking female said, in a very hurried and confused manner, that about eighteen months ago she became a patient to a mesmeric doctor, and had been frequently operated upon by him at various exhibitions. On the last occasion when he mesmerised her, he beat her and brutally ilbused her, and had since plundered her of almost every article she possessed. She had on various occasions attempted to seek protection from his violence, and gave notice to the police of the robbery. After some further observa tions she handed in a long written statement to the magistrate which set forth her grievances.—The magistree, after perusing the documents, said he could not assist her, as the offence which she complained of was committed so long ago. —The applicant, who appeared much astonished, seized her papers and left the court. THAMES.—CRtELTT AT SEA.—S. L. Lawson, master of the barque Regalia, appeared to answer an assault warrant issued at the suit of a negro seaman named Thomas Barton. The complainant stated that he shipped with the prisoner at Sierra Leone about three months age, and had been sub jected since to the utmost abuse and ill-usage. On one occa sion, when he was ill, and lying on a pile of cordage and sacking, about seven feet above the deck, the prisoner came and gave him some medicine which was so nauseous that he could not swallow the whole dose. The captain then seized and dragged him from the pile down on the deck, by which his hand and arm were so severely injured, that he had suffered the severest pain ever since. 'Here the poor fellow exhibited his hand, which was swollen like a boxing glove, whilst each finger was separately bandaged. The day aft er the master ordered hint to " turn to" on deck, when he replied he was very ill, and unable to work, upon which the captain dragged him up from below, and ordered him to the wheel, where he remained during his watch. In the evening, when his next watch was approaching, he prayed of the captain to remit his duty, but the latter refused, and he was driven to the wheel, where he was compelled to work with one hand, for two hours; at last, he was obliged to leave off from pain and exhaustion. On leaving the Cove of Cork, where the vessel put in, complainant was ordered to lend a hand in weighing the anchor, and on his re monstrating, the captain " rope's-ended " him through out the ship. The poor fellow then lent what assistance he could with his single hand, the pain of his right hand being at the time excruciating. After that the captain rope's ended: hint severely several times on the voyage from Cork to London. The complainant called no witness, but there were several black men present belonging to the crew, who were all in tears, which they afterwards accounted for out side, by stating that if they were called upon to speak the truth, they apprehended they should be most severely treated on the voyage back to their own country. Here one of the white men of the crew was called, but said he had no evidence to give upon the subject, as he was sick below at the time of the alleged assault.—The prisoner, who exhi bited great flippancy of manner, in several instances inter rupting the examination, and appearing, by the light manner in which he met the charge, to think there was nothing in the complaint of a black man which was worthy of being attended to, expressed a desire to have the case postponed until he could procure the attendance of his chief officer, who was absent on leave.—Mr. Ballantine, in recapitulating the complainant's statement, said, there was a primd facie case of gross injury and abuse.—The prisoner baring fre quently broken in upon the observations of the worthy ma gistrate, Mr. Salentine at length said, " I am not on your deck, and, therefore, will not endure your running -fire. Whether black or white, every man on board your ship has a right to be treated with humanity, and, as far as I am con cerned, I'll take care that it shall be so."—The case was then postponed until Wednesday next HAMMERSMITH. —FORTUNE-TELLING AND CHEM- LiTT.—A young man, shabby-genteelly dressed, about 22 years of age, named James Jones, was brought up before Mr. G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, on a warrant, charging him with obtaining money under false pretences.—Margaret Arsling, a female of respectable appearance, nearly 40 years of age, deposed as follows :—On the '23rd of September last I wentto the priaoner's house in James-street, Kensington, and I sew him, and told him I had bad a little km, and he said, " I know it, it's linen." I said, " No, it's money ; 275." The prisoner said if I could afford to give 101. he would show me the person who took it in a F lais. I told him I was a very poor woman, and he then said if I made up my mind to give him 10s. I was to send him a letter in the morning, and bring the 10s. in the afternoon. The next day I went to his house and saw him, and he asked me if I had got the 10s. I said yes, and he told me to rat the money on what I consi dered a funeral pall, and ordered me out of the room. He was then alone in the room, and in two or three minutes he called me back, and asked me if I knew the party. I said no. He had three knives in the room, one of which he took up. and pretended to cut his hand. He then took a glass from under the funeral pall, and, putting a candle before it, asked me if that was the person. I saw the head of a female in the glass. I told him I could swear to nobody, and he asked me if I did not know the person ? lie then said, Mr. Jones could do no more. Mr. Jones never told a lie ; and shook me by the hand, and said I should be sure to have my money again the following day. I told my master all about it. I have never had the money.—The prisoner said he did not know that he was violating the law by telling fortunes.—Mr. Clive, however, dispelled his ignorance by sending him to prison for three months, adding to his confinement hard labour. MONEY MARKET. SATuRGAT EVENING. Greater firmness was displayed in Consols to-day, the result of the more subdued tone in political affairs perhaps. The prices recovered from the depression of yester day to their form, r quotations 'of 951 to 4 for money and account, at which they closed. Exchequer Bills, 15s. to 18s. premium. The dividends on the various stocks, which have been shut preparatorily, will become payable in the ensuing week. Bankers have been signing to-day at the Bank, and on Monday the public will begin to receive. Money which is now so easy on the stock exchange, and scarcely less so out of it, will be rendered more abundant still probably for a time. It may be expected, however, that the Bank will have prepared, and be preparing now, for such a result, which unchecked might lead to an inconvenient expansion of the circulation, by drawing is loans and letting bills run out to some extent, without taking in more to replace the amount. The foreign market has been in an inactive state. Spanish were rather better ; the Fives, 264 to 1 ; the 1 hrees, 374 to 1; the Deferred, 164 to 17 ; Passive, 54 to 4. Portuguese, 41 to 2. Mexican were quoted at the close of the market, 234 to 4, but weak. Ecuador, 34 to 4. New Granada, 21 to 4 ; the Deferred, 31 to 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 591 to 4 • the Fours, 924 to 3. The Bank of England averages for the week ending the 3rd instant show, as compared with those for the week pre ceding, the following results Circulation—lssue £29,359,795 Circulation—Active 20,550,645 Public deposits Other deposits Government securities in Bunking Department.. 12,961,3r0 Other securities 15,086,775 Coin and bullion 7 day and other bills ... 930,793 The Rest 3,886,983 Increase 7,097 These returns present some extraordinary differences as compared with those, not only of the week preceding but, of many months past. The diminished stock of coin and bul lion to so large an extent renders it probable that a propor tion was taken for exportation, although no direct evidence of the fact can be readily obtained, as of the exports of the precious metals, of gold in particular, but an unimportant portion is effected from this port, and therefore they are not officially registered. The bulk of these values withdra a n consisted of gold furnished from the department of issue. The rates of foreign exchange, which ruled comparatively high at the time, would not appear to favour the notion of an export of gold. The more easy solution of the cause of the diminished stock present. itself in the payment of official salmi's, which, it is assumed, are dealt out in hard money, and a call of specie for Ireland against government draughts fur public works, &e. The first supposition may be dismissed as absurd, for government and bank officials do not demand, and are net paid in coin, further than fractional quan tities. It is possible, however, there might have been remittances of specie to Ireland, although it is scarcely probable they should have been to any extent, for the Irish banks were so well supplied at the time as to qualify them for answering calls, or for covering the additional issues of notes, to the amount of many hundred thousands of pounds. If, moreover, specie were wanted merely for the payment of wages, the call would have rather been for silver. We are inclined to believe, therefore, that gold was sent abroad in pursuance of some state financial combination, the ends and conditions of which can only be conjectured. This is the great market for gold, and however its value may rule lower in other countries for mere mercan tile exchange operations, no large quantity at such lower rates could, without a great disturbance of values, be abstracted from foreign money marts. Tea might be pur chased cheaper in Hamburg than in London, because not an article of common consumption there, and therefore the stock proportionally insignificant; but if a million pounds were wanted the buyer would resort to London, where, although the price was fractionally higher, he could obtain that quantity, and more, without in the least disturbing orice, or creating that movement and commotion in the relations of value which must inevitably follow such an operation in Ilamburgh. As gold is treated as a commodity like tea, the rule which applies to the one e'eould govern the other. It is just possible that, in the money penury reigning in Berlia and elsewhere in Germany, the Prussian government may have keen solicitous to rein force the coffers of the state hank with an increased fund of bullion or specie, as a basis for the further issues of bank paper, already authorised to the extent of ten millions of dialers, and which, it is believed, will be carried to twenty millions. The cheapest recourse for an operation requiring a large quantity of gold and silver would be to the whole sale market, where, although prices might be a fraction higher, the larger stock on hand would prevent any con vulsion of values. The Bank of England has not unfre quently paid for gold in bulk on higher terms than what the rates of exchange seemed to justify. It is not, however, in tended to conclude that the outflow of hard money from the Bank must necessarily have taken the direction indicated, or have followed from the causes hypothetically only set forth, although such may have been the rase. the tenour of the facts and observations is to be understood as suggestive only, in the absence of the more positive data which are re quisite to a safe conclusion. The great increase of active circulation is more than ac counted for by the still greater increase of the securities re presenting discounts tuna loans to the amount. Within the three weeks ending at the date of these returns the amount of those securities was enlarged by not far short of three millions. As the period for the payment of the October divi dends was approaching, a considerable proportion of this excess will probably fall away, by the repayment of loans, and the maturing of bills discounted, the amount of which would not be replaced by renewed transactions to the same extent. Unless such should be the case, the supplementary increase arising from the paying out of dividends might lead to an inconvenient expansion of the active circulation, and more so still should a continued drain of hard money super vene. The small increase in public deposits is explained by the comparative cessation of the half quarterly payments of revenue into the Bank. MEXICAN LOAN AFFAIRS.—It is stated by members of the Spanish American committee that, at their sitting yes terday, the only quertion entertained was about the reported forgeries of Mexican bonds. If each were the fact, it betrays a singular indifference to the interests of their constituents, and to their own position with respect to the conversion scheme. Reports are current of another conversion to be brought forward, by which the bonds so lately cut down in principal should be again cut down in interest, that is, to a 3 per cent. Mock. It is unnecessary to say more at present. Disclosures cannot long be staved off, when it will be seen how the committee and other parties shall come out of the business.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Ssvr. 'mar. Before Mr. CommWdontr Shepherd. IN RR STANBOROVOH.—FRAED AND FOLLY.—The in solvent, a clerk in railway companies, and of respectable family, came up for his final order. In examination, he said that he had been living with Isis parents. His father was a man of property, and until he became a little embarrassed, paid all his debts. He always expected to get a situation. His father had a town and country business Mr. J. Plumb, of Oxford-street, jeweller, said : The insol vent came to my shop and wanted some pencil-cases and brooches to give to a lady getting married. He asked if I would allow him to take these things fur inspection, and he was to return them. I did so, but I never saw him again. I went to the police authorities, and would have given him in charge for swindling, only I could not find him. His Honour : In point of fact, it is a swindle and robbery. Mr. Hammond : The insolvent was to be taught the cor net a piston at half-a-guinea a lesson. He gave a card, which was, " Wilton-street, Belgrave-square." This address was so respectable, that the instrument, which was of the value of M., was taken to the insolvent, and from that day to the present, it was not forthcoming, or the money. Several other creditors were in attendance, all of whom complained of having been victimised by the insolvent. The insolvent, again examined, said: I never represented myself to be Sir Henry Stanborough, and am not the man to do any such thing. Hurst, whose name has been on bills of mine, I believe to be a man of property. I believe his property to be in Yorkshire. The horse he had got was taken to a veterinary surgeon, who pronounced it unsound. — [His Honour : That was like the story of buying a bad horse, and paying for it with bad money.)—l was to have six weeks' credit from Plumb. I never said I was going to get married. I never sent back the pencil-eases. I was only to have had one. Never went to his shop again. His Honour dismissed the petition. IN RE JOHNSTONE.—THE NEW SMALL DEBTS ACT, — The insolvent, stated to be an authoress, applied for her release, and was opposed by Mr. Bean, of the Greyhound Inn, Croydon. Tee lady was one of the Duke of Bruns wick's witnesses at the late trial at Croydon, and took up her residence at the Greyhound, where her bill amounted to 121., not one farthing of which had she paid, although admitting the receipt of 161. from the duke for her ex penses. In liquidation of the debt she offered to give up some " Chancery" papers, which Mr. Bean refused, and the insolvent now repeatedly declared that she could not pay a "farthing." She had left home without her "purse," and hoped that certain summonses which she required would be given to her without the payment of any fees. The summonses were directed to be granted without fees, and the further hearing was adjourned for a week. The learned commissioner told the lady that she must pay some thing. She must be earning some money.—Miss Johnstone : Oh, unfortunately, sir, not one shilling. POLICE.-SATURDAY. - - MANSION-HOUSE.—INFRINOEMENT OF MERCHANT Sesms:v's Acr.—John Pye, was charged with haring in fringed the act for the protection of merchant seamen, by giving a false answer, in stating that he had not received a register ticket; and Captain Gardner, of the ship Pacific, was charged with having aided and abetted the boy in committing the misdemeanor. The solicitor to the Board of Admiralty attended for the prosecution, and stated that the Merchant Seamen's Act required that each peron in the merchant service should be registered, in order that, if able-bodied seamen should be wanted for her Majesty's service upon any emergency, the government might be able to procure, without trouble, the necessary amount of assistance.—Mr. E. H. R. Coleman, clerk in the General Register and Record Office for Seamen of the Port of London, Hamet-street, Minories, stated that when seamen were registered at the outports, duplicates of the register tickets were returned in pursuance of the act of parliament to the office in London within a week from the time of such re gistration. In the present case the duplicate register ticket was signed in the handwriting of Mr. Bentley, the proper officer at Hull, and was numbered 204,730, and issued to John Pye, at Hull, on the 11th of September, 1846. Witness, in conaequence of some information which he received, went on board the Pacific, lying in the London Docks, to make inquiries. The prisoner Pye was on board, and witness asked him where his Hull ticket was. He replied that he never had a Hull ticket, and witness took him into custody. Pye then took witness to his lodging, and gave to him the original register ticket produced, acknow ledging that he had been registered at Hull, and that he knew he had done wrong, but it was the fault of the captain, who had made him do it. Witness then accompanied Pye towards the Mansion-house, and in passing the house of Thomas King, a licensed shipping agent, that agent identified the boy as a person whom he had bound apprentice.—Mr. R. Peppercorn, clerk in the register and record office for seamen in the Custom-house, said it was part of his duty to register apprentices to seamen, and to put the necessary questions previously to granting a register. On the 2nd of October a youth, whom witness believed to be Pye, applied to him to be registered as an apprentice, and was accompanied by a Captain Gardner, the captain of the Pacific. Witness put to him. amongst other questions, tie following " Have you, or have you not, been registered before ? " and he said " No." Witness then asked him where and when he was born ? and he replied " in Kirkaldy, county of Fife, 29th June, 1830.' In consequence of his answers he had • register ticket granted, a duplicate of which was produced, and the captain took the indenture and the ticket away with him. —Mr. Thomas King, licensed shipping agent under the Board of Trade, said that he was employed by Captain Gardner, the captain of the Pacific, and bound Pye to that person as an apprentice on the 2nd of October. The bey was called forward by the captain, in order that the indenture might be made out, and said that he had obtained a register ticket in Hull, and that he was 18 years of age. Witness said to the captain that the lad could not be bound, as he was 18 years of age. The captain then told the boy to put the Hull ticket out of the way, and say nothing about it, and witness said it would be illegal, and the captain would be liable for his own actions. The captain then said that witness would do him a favour by filling up the indentures according to the instructions, and witness directed the indentures to be filled up accordingly.—The Lord Mayor here said it appeared to him that the agent who had been licensed by the Board of Trade was much more culpable than either of the individuals accused, as it was evident the imposition was sanctioned by the authority of the agent.—Further evidence having been given, in which RAILWAY RBI'S._ Greater activity prevailed in the share market on Saturday, with the appearance of a healthier feeling. Some business was done in Eastern Counties at rather improved prices in the early part of the day, but the report of a casualty on the line made them afterwards not so good. Shropshire Unions at a small advance were in demand, and in Ambergatee some considerable dealings took place at prices fairly sustained. York and Newcastle new shares were 101 buyers, and in demand. East India scrips heavy. It must be observed of railway shares and scrips, that a con siderable proportion of the transactions of the day are carried on out of the Stock Exchange, between broker and broker at their respective offices, and with dealers out of doors, which cannot of course be entered in the official list of the Stock Exchange. That list represents only business done in the house. There was no change for the better in the Liverpool share market. The old stocks were rather lower than on Friday. Some of the new lines also, as Birmingham and Dudley, and Birmingham and Oxford, showed a decline. Shropshire Union improved and closed buyers at 6 dis. The Manchester market was very inactive: prices nomi nally unchanged, but with a downward tendency. The market at BiTMiTlfgham was rather brisker, the trans• actions were, however, limited almost to Birmingham and Oxford Junctions; Birtr:iagham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley's ; and Shropshire, Unions ; in the last there were transactions at 10s. and ultimately at 5.. dis. The demand for " Dudleys" was considerable, and at the close of the brodness there were no sellers at 38s. 9cl. p.
