NORTHUMBERLAND. AFFRAY WITH RAILWAY LAHOUREILS.—NEWCASTLE IIPON.TYNE, TUESDAY. —Yesterday afternoon two carters were engaged in conveying empty waggons from the railway along the coach-road to Long Benton, when they met two " navies," one of whom commenced beating the leading car ter, whose horse had shied, over the head with a thick stick. The carter followed them till he met Captain Potts, a county magistrate, to whom he stated the ease. Captain Potts remonstrated with the navies, and while he was doing so George Mathews, one of them, auddealy pushed Captain Potts aside, and struck the carter • heavy blow in the abdomen, saying, " There ye take the and die." The " navies " then ran off. On the cap tain going up to the carter the poor fellow said, " Look at my boots ;" and on the captain looking downwards he saw the blood flowing in a copious stream from the left leg of the trousers on to the ground. He was laid on the grass and expired ohnoat immediately, having bled to death in less than three minutes. Mathews was apprehended near the Ousebunt police station. In the course of the evening a large number cf " navies" assembled, and demanded the body, threatening violence un less their demands were conceded. Information of this was conveyed to Capt. Potts, who immediately came and remon strated with the men ; and they at length said they would be satisfied if allowed to see the body. This having been granted, the men went away, and did not again make their appearance. The other man was apprehended in Sunder land this morning. His name is John Hugh Murray, and both be and Mathews belong to King's County, in Ireland. He acknowledged baring struck the caner with the stick, but said it was Mathews who stabbed him. Mathews pee sista in asserting that he struck the deceassd with his fist, and not with a knife.—The prisoners were remanded till Thursday.—We learn from Newcastle, yesterday, that the body of Hives, the carter, was buried on Wednesday. A coroner's inqaest was held the same day. The evidence substantially agreed with the statement above. Hives was stabbed apparently with a penknife, and a knife was subse quently found near the spot where the amossination was committed. The inquiry STA was a jdournei till Monday. FFORDHIRE. WOLVERHAMPTON ADDRESS TO SIR ROBERT PEaL.— The address to Sir Robert Peel decided upon at the town's meeting, held at the public office, some time ago, was last week transmitted by Mr. I. Fellows to the right honourable baronet. The following is Sir R. Peel's reply : " Drayton Manor, Oct.

EMBEZZLEMENT OF A LETTER FROM THE POST-OFFICE. —A man who was employed in the post-office, Birmingham, as a letter-carrier, and dismissed about four years ago, has been committed for trial on a charge of stealing a letter con taining bank-notes prior to that time. It seems that ho had kept one of the 101. notes in his possession till within about ten days ago, when, being sent to the bank of Messrs. Att wood and Spooner to advise a bill for a party in whose service he was, he substituted one of the notes given for that which had been stolen, and the number of which had been pre served at the bank. The prisoner's own account of the affair is that he found the note in Wolverhampton. RAILWAY PATRONAGE OF TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.- 0. S. Renick, Esq., an eminent iron founder, at West Bromwich, devotes much of his time, influence, and wealth to the promotion of the Temperance Reformation. This gentleman employs four or five agents to travel through the neighbouring counties, disseminating ■ knowledge of the principle he so warmly espouses, and he also conducts a monthly periodical—the Temperance Gautte, of which about 4,000 copies are circulated. Ilia appeals to the gentry of the neighbourhood, and the advocacy of his agents have produced powerful effects in many quarters, and the last Gazette records a piece of liberality which reflects great credit on the Directors of the Grand Junction Railway, who have granted a free passage to any of the agents on the line betwixt Birnunprbews and Crewe, when they are engaged in the advocacy of temperance principles. A similar act of liberality was displayed towards Father Mathew, by the Cork and Bandon Railway Directors, but we believe the above is the first instance of corresponding liberality on any English line. nrfeßr TWIT! %MMUS. A FATAL ACCIDENT PROM MACIIINEI.T occurred on Monday, to a lad named Parker, in the employ of Mr. Morris, of West Wycombe. The deceased was employed in the yard driving the horses attached to a thradling machine, when in trying to reach one of the horses, his foot slipped and he fell backwards: his round frock becoming entangled in the spindle, he was drawn into the machinery and killed. An inquest was held on Tuesday, and a verdict of "Acci dental death " was returned, with a recommendation that the spindle should bo boarded over, or otherwise protected, so as so guard against a similar accident for the future. ST.I&SF-X ... • - . THE GAME LAwa.—At Chichester a few days ago Henry Pearce was brought before the magistrates and charged with being concerned in an act of poaching fire years ago ! Pearce wu fined 21. 12s. 6d , and in default to two months' hard labour. lie paid the fine; but this did not suffice. An information was sworn, and Pearce was again taken before the bench, and convicted of being found in the road oa a dark night in winter, five years ago, for an unlawful purpose, and sent to hard labour fur one month. He declared he was innocent of the alleged offence, and that the charge had sprung from malice. During the five years Pearce has been absent he had served her Majesty at sea four years and upwards. LITERATURE. Thc: Qulrterly Review. No. CLVI. October, 1816. John Murray. In a literary point of view this is a fair average number of the Quarterly. The ' Fortifications of Paris' are reviewed by one who appears competent to review the troops that may one day garrison them. It is a neat popular exposition of the rise and progress, of the nature and probable effects, of " these stu pendous works, greater than the fabled wall of Babylon." ' Constantinople in the fourth century' may take its place beside Schlosser's famous article on the Grecian Universities in the time of Julian the Apostate. ' The Cathedral of Cologne' evinces almost as much technical knowledge (in its depart ment) as the Fortifications of Paris ; but is got up with less artistical taste and skill. Lord Nugentrs Travels,' General Nott in Affghaaistan,' and ' Roche lags and the Emigrant,' belong to the class of reviews which convey a satisfactory notion of the style and contents of the work reviewed. In the Quarterly these have been always well done. The proem f the first of the three is, it is true, rather , harming : in the tone of a George Robins' adver sement, recommending Athens as preferable winter quarters to Rome. ' The Spanish Ladyea Love' is a pleasing piece of antiquarian gossip: a make-believe critique of Lady Dalmcny's illustrations. The articles of the present number, however, at lead in so far as public curiosity may warrantably be excited to know all about them, are, ' The Close of Sir Robert Peel's Administration,' and ' Education of the People.' There is a natural desire to catch omens of the Conservative future from the Ilterary organ of Conservatism. The paper devoted to the requiem of Sir Robert Pool's administration commences with an amusing ass umptisn. " We presume that the great majority of t hose who honour this journal with their coun tens.'ice and any share of confidence, will expect," & c . AC. The great principle of C onservatism is simple and .easy of apprehension : it is to support wall s bed institutions. The character or tendency of the :actilation is immaterial: only let it be esta blished. Adherence to this broad and Catholic princi ple comet isms exposes its votaries to the charge of inconsistent 7, when they defend as established what they oppose d before it was unablishcd; but in truth there is no in. we inconsistency in them than there was in Cobbett or in Southey, each of whom clung with martyr-like p ertinacity to the faith that his opinions for the time boing were sure to be right. After this explanation the reader will not be surprised to learn that the Quarterly adopts, aqd intimates its intention to abide by, this " new line of policy , which far brevity's sake we cull Sir Robert Peel's. " We believe that Sir R 'Alert Peel has convinood himself that the Reform Rill has as entirely shamed the practical scastittition of this country that it can no longer he toothed in the old abialaidar ad by Ida former means—that the anima balooreot gararmag Vas dr so ul= of parties is obsolete and iagraebaaW bag% dm bade Do doubt, that the popular ;co monad/ ° t eam ' is supreme, sad that it la wafer to ) irk* to DO arod lboa Walt to be overthrown by its compressed, but, trilla at fat It Mad till° , irresistible, force. had there is, no t• f, WM truth is watt elms. If if whet we ramp expected front t.'wß4br,. Bill, OW what ice still Mira wad be the )6,11 entail orthlt twasewre ; bat that danger had not, in our opinion, yet arrived. So the Quarterly only differs from Sir Robert Peel on a question of time. It is angry with him because he, for a quiet life, gave up in 1848, what it admits must have been given up after a hard fight in 1850, at farthest. But since Sir Robert has moved on, the Quarterly will not go beck. It advances a whole host of arguments to show that Peel's corn-law hav ing become the law of the land, one of our established institutions, it is true Conservatism to support it. The Conservatives are reminded that the Quarterly advised them to make the measure permanent. " In our last number we urged the Protectionist party, in both the Commons and the Lords, to direct their most strenuous efforts to throwing out the limitation of ! the act to three years." The Quarterly's reasons for giving this advice arc curious. Providence, it piously thinks, has caused the failure of the potato crop to prevent the farmer suffering by the machi nations of the free-traders; and besides, the actual duty under Sir Robert Peel's law is higher than it would have been under the old. Sir Robert has giren them more instead alms protection.

It is as additional proof atlas fey and heedlessness with which this measure was peaked Mat, professing to operate a reduction of duty to neat an scarcity, it has—lf corn should really rae to madly = e — 1 quadrupled the duty that would here been payable under the termer act The effect of this will be exemplified try the fact that, of 16,000,000 quarters of wheat imported between 1 , 28 and 1842 - meet' whet was thought the high protection own-1m above 6,000,000 quarters came in at la, and near 4.000,000 more at Is Oki. per quarter; and, though from four plentifal harvests:he duty under the late law had not fallen so law, it would cerbenly, under any real pressure, have done so. The new wale of corn duties will, thezefore, we expect, be found to afford a considerable degree of protection." If this is the Quarterly's sincere opinion, it would have done wisely to keep the secret; for, if once " the popular power, commonly called public opinion," which the Quarterly thinks was made irresistible by the Reform Bill, get hold of the notion, we will not guarantee this increased protection its three years', nor oven erne year's, oristenee. But the Quarterly has no faith in what it says. This talk Is simply meant to keep up the flagging spirit of the Tories, and encou rage them to protract a struggle which can only end in defeat. The inveterate hostility displayed to Sir Robert Peel throughout the article is only accounta ble on the ground that the reviewer knows Sir Robert hes irretrievably broken up the party a few years sooner than was necessary. Four years of place and pay, four years of protected corn, have been wantonly thrown away. How far the writer is prepared to go, in sacrificing everything to keep up the price of corn, appears from what he says in reference to Irish destitution. After admitting that Government did well in introducing Indian corn, he adds, " but we must think ;that it would have been still better if more active measures had been taken to supply the people with oatmeal, a food of their own growth, and the use of which would have had the double advantage of feeding the destitute poor and benefiting the farmer himself almost as poor and desti tute." And again: " Opening the Irish ports ! Why, the real remedy, had any interference been necessary, would have been to close them—the torrent of food was running outwards." In the eyes of this writer, Ministers made quite a wrong use of the scarcity. By keeping the Irish ports shut against the entrance of foreign grain, they would have enabled the Irish farmer to get famine prices for his corn at home ; by shutting the Irish ports against the export of Irish grain, they would have enabled the English farmer to get famine prices for his grain in England. What a chance was here thrown away of raising the price of corn (and the rate of rents) on both sides of the channel, by one master-stroke. Into the fallacies of figures (arithmetical, not rheto rical), with which this article abounds, we are not going to enter. They have no novelty to recommend them. The article's feature of novelty and interest, is the admission, that if the Conservative party (with Peel cut off) can get into power again, they are ready to uphold Peel's corn-law 0.8 one of our established institutions. The article on 'The Education of the People' is an equally striking illustration of the readiness of con servatism to adopt any article into its creed as soon as it is established. The principles avowed and defended in this paper, would have made every hair on every head of the orthodox readers of the Quarterly stand on end, twenty years ago. " With the most respectful and grateful confidence in the exertion' of the Church—with the most frank and cordial sdnilasion of the rights; and of the services of Dbeenters—the State must deliberately determine no longer to look on ; and while the two parties are dis puting whether the people shall be brought up as churchmen or dis salters, leave them, in met accumulating numbers, heathens, or worse than hettisessi. • • • The State, according to the ethane constitution of the reams, car, make no exclusive grants from the public pure.

In justice to the writer of this ad mirable paper, it must be observed that he is evidently no mere conformer, though the party from among which he speaks are mere conformers on this theme. He has been allowed to bring his own opinions into the circle, in order to induce him to join it. There are marks of earnestness and sincerity in every part of his views and arguments. And herein lies one great mistake of such writers as of the article on the close of Sir Robert Peel's administration. In that article such men as this writer on education are counted among a supposed parliamentary party of 310, who are expected to turn, and wind, and conform like the old high and dry Tories. But this is a mis take. Of the 310, at least one half scout the doctrine that institutions are good or bad simply as they are established or otherwise. "Rusk. DRURY-LAlSE.—Madame Anna Bishop made her &grid on the English state last evening, in Belle's opera, " The Maid of Artois." The note of preparation for her appearance had been sounded too long and too loudly, so much having been said about the extent of her powers, that it became a very difficult matter indeed to satisfy the expectations which had been excited. That her perfor mance has not realised our anticipations we must frankly say ; though her merits are such that she deferred the very favourable reception she met with. " The Maid of Artois," as our musical readers will re member, was produced about eleven years ago, with Malibran for the heroine. She threw her whole ener gies into the part, and not only made a wonderful display of genius in her own person, but breathed something of her I spirit into poor Templeton, who, benefited by her instruc tions, and inspired by her example, acted and sang in a manner of which nobody had imagined him capable, and which he was never able to equal either before or since. The opera had a run while Malibran performed in it, but it has been ever since laid on the shelf, and it certainly owed its tempo rary success almost entirely to her. It was generally coin dered at the time to be a falling off from his previous opera, " The Siege of Rochelle,",being inferior in freshness of style. Balfe's peculiarities of manner, in the coinstruction and in strumentation of his music, when they wens new, had some thing of the effect of originality ; but, unfortunately, all his subsequent works have been so strongly marked with the self-same peculiarities, that a powerful impression of mono tony and sameness ha s been the result. In " The Maid of Artois," it will be remembered, the heroine is a Ywne country girl, who has been carried off from her friends and her lover by a noble courtier of Louis XV. Her lover follows her to Pans, and, finding her living (though innocently) under the Marquis's roof, believes her faithless. He obtains access to her apartment, and they are sur prised together the Marquis. A reneontre ensues, in which the Marquis is wounded, and Jules, the lover (who, in his despair, bad enlisted into a regi ment commanded by the Marquis) is tried for assaulting his colonel, and transported to a French penal settlement in Guiana. Isoline, the heroine, follows him disguised in male attire, and finds him treated as a slave. They escape together, and reach the sandy desert, where they are on the point of perishing from exhaustion and thirst, when they are re lieved by the approach of the governor of the colony with his cortege. The governor is no other than the Marquis, who, touched aith the distress of the lovers, d elates him self no longer their enemy , an d joins the ir hands. The story is full of improbable and unaccountable incidents; but it contains some good situation' especially the scene of the lovers in the desert, which idalibmn represented with such tenderness and pathos; bat it demands an actress of Mali bran's powers to give it effect. Madame Bishop's first ap. pearance took place in the middle of the ling act. When the curtain rote, and discovered her reclining on a couch, in the attitude of one insensible, she was saluted with a loud and general burst of applause. She very judiciou•ly did not acknowledge it till she was able to chore forward without deranging the action of the scene, when she made her curt seys with much grace. Her first morcents was a scene con sisting of a long recitative and en elaborate air, full of florid divisions, and well calculated to show off a flexible voice and skilful vocalizations. It was immediately apparent that Madame Bishop possessed these qualities in an eminent degree. We have rarely . heard a purer tone, or more finished delicacy of execution. Her intonation, too, was beautifully true ; but, on the other hand, a lack of physical powers made itself apparent. Her voice, though very sweet, had no brilliancy ; it was somewhat thin, and had that muffled tone which the Italians designate by the phrase, vote relates. Her compass is that of a complete soprano, on which account it is evident that Balfe must have re-written a great part of the music of her part. The air which we hare mentioned was encored, though with so much opposi tion, that she appeared to be fur some time in a painful state of doubt whether she ought to obey the call. No other morceau in the whole opera was encored, with the exception of the well known " Light of other days," which wan ex. eeedii.gly well sung by Bonsai. In the duet, " 0 leave me not thus lonely,' sung by Mrs. bishop and Borrani, she exhibited considerable power of passionate expression ; and in the duet with Harrison,*." My bosom with hope," she was equally happy. In the great seen in the desert, she suf fered by the unavoidable comparison with hfalibran. She sang and acted with much feeling; but her physical powers , were unequal to such an arduous effort. She was tender and pathetic, but she could not utter those piercing cries of agony and despair, with which (her predecessor harrowed the very souls of the listeners. In the spoken dialogue she was very defective. Her voice was so weak as to be almost inaudible ; and she has no distinctness or emphasis of elocution. It is evident that Italian recita tive is the only stage language with which she is conver t sant ; but, to be an English actress, she must learn to speak her own language so aa to be heard and understood in a , large theatre. In these hasty remarks we by no means wish to convey any general opinion of her merits. We think, on the whole, that they are great; and that, on further hear ing, her beauties wilt grow upon us, while, with increased experience of the English stage, her defects will diminish ; though we fear that her deficiency in vocal strength will be an obstacle to her production of very powerful effects. The opera was well got up, and, in the other parts, respectably performed ; Harrison of course playing the lover, and 'ter rain the Marquis. Madame Bishop was greatly applauded ' during the piece, and received from the crowded audience I the customary honours et its close. 'tie Drama. LYCEUM.—" Which Mr. Smith?" a comic drama in two acts, was produced at this theatre last evening, with a success, to say the least, equal to its merits. The incidents —for plot it caa scarcely be said to possess—were extra vagant and farcical, turnm7 wholly upon a mystification produced by the legions of London Smiths upon one Jonas Shedge, a rustic, who has come to town to wed a lady of that name ; but having lost the address of her friends gets into dire scrapes with a host of other Smiths in love. The whsle of the subsequent action—after carrying on this sort of imbroglio to an extent that makes even Jonas himself exclaim, "There is too much of it"—an eetaireizsement is effected, and Jonas finds himself minus his long-sought for Miss Smith, who is assigned to a rival. Amidst a good deal of what was, strictly speaking, conventional humour and stage fun, practised from time immemorial, there was like wise a considerable sprinkling of racy freshnem and of hand over-head driving at every topic of the day in the dramatic essay of which we now wnte, and these characteristics, when duly tempered with judgment and experience, go far to constitute in irodern times a successful playwright. It is but justice to the actors in general, but more particularly to Messrs. F. Math.ms, F. Vining, and Emery, to say that they were equally zealous and per fect in their parts, and that the applause which they received at the fall of the curtain was extremely well merited.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDAY. - Before Mr. Commissioner Evans. PETITION DIE MONIED.—S. W. Smith, a clergyman, late of Erith, and now of Cloak-lane, City, came up for his in terim order. His debts are about 6,0001., and assets " none." Mr. Buchanan, ft.r sixteen creditors, said that the insolvent had represented that he had bought a living at Erith for 7,0001, upon the frith of which he obtained 1501., whereas he had not bought any such living. This, Mr. Buchanan would call a misrepresentation. The further ground of op. position was, that within the last month, and in contem plation of insolvency, he (the insolvent) deposited plate and other goods with a friend, upon the pretence of securing a debt alleged to be due to that party, but in reality it was to defraud the creditors of that to which they were justly en titled.—The insolvent, in examination by Mr. Buchanan, admitted that he had deposited certain goods, not as security for any debt, but merely because he had no secure place to keep them. He had not handed these things over to the official assignee, because when the party with whom the goods were deposited found out that Smith was insolvent, he would not give them up, claiming to have a lien on them for a debt due.—The learned commissioner looked over the schedule, and perceived that there was no mention of the transaction now deposed to. He expressed an opinion that the ease eould not go on. This property was not mentioned in the schedule as available to the creditors, which it clearly was.—Mr. Cooke then drew his Honour's attention to the fact that the insolvent proposed to pay 1001, per annum for the gradual liquidation of his debts, and take his protection periodically, to secure its payment. —Mr. Buchanan said he appeared for sixteen creditors, all of whom rejected this offer with contempt, and it was only made to secure himself protection.—Mr. Cooke said that as the creditors refused this reasonable proposition, the result must he that Dr. Smith would to the Insolvent Debtors' Cour., and then be discha rged , his creditors getting nothing.—Mr. Bu chanan: T here would be exactly the same result, if this offer were accepted.—His Honour said he had no power, as the creditors refused the offer, and the petition was dismissed. , FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1846. POLICE-yzgTERDAy. GUILDHALL.—Turner FOIL INOWLEDOE.—Yesterday a youi girl, named Mary llowlon, was placed at the bar, char with stealing a book value 10s. 6d., the property of Mr. tapas, bookseller, residing in Holborn.—Thomas Flower, of the E division of police, said that near the Middle sex Hospital he yesterday morning observed the prisoner with a book in her hand. He took it from her, and on being questioned she said, " that being exceedingly fond of reading she was studying the book, and had advanced a great way into it." He found the book to be a volume of Mutton's Mathematic*, by Dr. Gregory, and that none of the leaves hail been cut, upon which he took her into cus tody.—William Gissing, assistant to Mr. Bompaa, deposed to having placed such a volume as the one produced in his master's window, and had missed it.—The prisoner, after some hesitation, admitted taking the book.—Alderman Gibbs decided upon remanding her for a few days, and directed the book to be returned to the owner. WHOLESALE FRAUDS IN THE CITY.—A young man, named Edward Erans, who has been employed at various large warehouses both in the City and the west-end, was brought up on remand for final examination, charged with obtaining goods to a large amount from various houses under false pretences. The court was crowded by parties who had been duped by the prisoner. The first case was then entered into.—Mr. James Eastharn, assistaat to Messrs. Swainson and Co., Watling-street, stated that he knew the prisoner some time ago from his repeatedly coming fur goods from other houses. On the 22nd of September be came and asked for three pieces of drab and blue furniture, and that they were for Messrs. Williams and Co. Witness told him they had none of that colour, when he said buff and blue would do, upon which the pieces were given him with a bill of parcels made out in Williams and Co.'s name. The pieces produced by the pawnbroker in court were those he de livered to the prisoner.—There were a number of other similar cues which were gone into, but the number of wit nesses were so great, and the amount of evidence so volu minous, that it would be useless to give them. However, seven cases were established against him, and he was com mitted on all. Several were abandoned, and others not sus tained for want of sufficient evidence. Ile was removed to Newgate. 3IARYLEI3ONE.—SINGULAR CHARGE op UrreasNo COUNTERFEIT COIN.—A very respectably-dressed young man, named Henry t'retian, was brought before Mr. Raw linson, on Wednesday last, charged with having uttered a counterfeit sovereign to Mr. Horton, a cheesemonger, in the Edgeware-road. It appeared that on the previous night the prisoner purchased, at the shop alluded to, half a pound of cheese, in payment for which he tendered a piece which, to all appearance, was a sovereign; Mr. Horton, imagining that there was something wrong, put the coin into his mouth and bit it, when it fell into three pieces. He (pri soner) was immediately given into custody, and conveyed to the station-hours. The prisoner's answer to the charge was that he received the coin from his uncle, on Saturday, in payment of wages, and that if the money was bad, it could be no fault of his. The portions of the coin were produced, and the magistrate remanded the prisoner until yesterday, in order that the Mint solicitor, Mr. l'owell, might be in attend ance.—The prisoner was locked up, and at tire o'clock was conveyed away in the government van to prison. The con stable who brought up the prisoner, and who had been directed to name all the circumstances to Mr. Powell, re turned to the court, shortly after the business had closed, and communicated the information which he had derived from Mr. Powell, viz., that the coin had really emanated from her Majesty's Mint. Mr. Rawlinson, who had ordered the remand, was as speedily as possible sent to, but ho was out of town. Mr. Long, the other magistrate of this court, was made acquainted with the whole of the particulars con nected with this case, and, by virtue of a written authority from him, the prisoner was soon restored to his friends and home. LAMBETH.—Tax " TWENTY POVND " SWINDLEa.— Yesterday William Willmott liyron, who stood remanded from Friday last, on a charge of being concerned with an other person, not at present in custody, in defrauding Mr. Mansford out of 201., and also with having in his possession property to a considerable amount, of which he could not give a satisfactory account, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton for further examination.—Mr. Knight, a solicitor of Basinghall-street, attended on behalf of Mr. Mansford, who gave the prisoner into custody, and Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, appeared for the prisoner.—The first witness called was Miss Charlotte F. White, of 24, Connaught-terrace, Edgeware-road, who deposed that o,' the 18th of Jul; last she saw an advertisement in a mon.ing paper offering a bonus of 51. for the loan of '2Ol. for on, month. She replied to it, and on the following Monday (the advertisement ap pearine on the Saturday) the prisoner called upon her, and presenting her the note she sent in reply to the advertisement, asked if she was the person who bad sent it ? She replied in the affirmative, and be then told her he was the person who wanted the money, and presented three tea warrants of three chests of lea in each, which he said he would deposit with her as a security, besides allowing her 51. for the loan. He, the prisoner, represented the tea warrants to be very valuable, and she consented to lend the 20/. on his giving his note of hand for 2.51. and depositing with her the tea warrants in addition. The note of hand had not been paid and the tea warrants were completely worthless. The wit ness had not seen him from the time she paid him two ten- , pound notes until this morning as he was getting out of the police van. Mr. Norton enquired if there were any other charges against the prisoner, when a fashionably dressed lady, who sat at the solici tors' table, said she had a charge to prefer. The lady deposed that her name was Frances Raymond, and that she was the wife of a gentleman living upon his property at Swisacottagea, Balaton. She narrated the circumstances under which, on the 15th May last, she had been induced, on the deposit of notes of hind and tea warrants, as in the last case, to advance the prisoner and another two several sums of 181. and 151. There were several other similar charges against the prisoner, who treated the matter with apparent indifference.—Mr. James Northington, the keeper of a coffee-house in Agar•street, Strand, said, that the pri soner and six or seven other persons were in the habit of frequently meeting at his house, and having their letters directed there. They met so oft e n that they led him (wit ness) and his family to believe that they were persons specu lating in horse-racing, and were very fortunate in that specu lation. (Laughter.)—Mr. Ballantine addressed the bench at some length, and contended that the evidence went to prove nothing beyond a conspiracy, if even that—Mr. Norton re marked, that the case was one which required further inves tigation, and he should therefore remand the prisoner until Friday next (this day week) on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences.—Mr. Ballantine applied for his beiag admitted to bail, but this was refused. THAMES.—Yesterday, James Brooke, a lighterman, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with assaulting Ann Williams, a young woman who carried an infant in her arms, and whose face was marked. It appeared that the complainant and her husband went into a publichouse called the Red Lion, in Ratcliffe-highway, to obtain refreshments, and while there the prisoner and another man entered. They fastened a quarrel upon the other party, and the prisoner challenged the complainant's husband to fight. He refused to do so; on which the prisoner attempted to strike him. The woman got np and said, " Don't hit my husband, he don't want to fight," whereupon ho struck her a violent blow on the face, and knocked her backwards. The bruise on her Case was in consequence of the blow. Mr. Ballantine said the prisoner might have selected a man in the group to tight with, if he was so fond of using his fists, and not beat a woman. His conduct was very base and cowardly, and he fined him 41., and in default of payment sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment. MONEY MARKET. TRUE/MAT EVENING.

MEXICAN LOAN AFFAllt3.—That may now be announced as a fact, which in the Daily News this morning was given only as a report ; Senor Murphy, the Mexican envoy, has received his letters of recall or discharge. They • ere delivered to him by Senor Faris', the son of the new minister of finance in Mexico, who came passenger by the Medway, with diree -1 tions to place the office in charge of the Secretary of Lega tion. It is now, moreover, certain that the loan conversion scheme has been disallowed by the present govern ment of Mexico. What will seem, however, much snore extraordinary, is the asserted fact, that the conversion scheme had been preciously repudiated by the late government, under whose powers and Instructions it was presumed to be framed and carried out. The habitual readers of this paper will not be taken by surprise on learn ing this curious turn in affairs. The bondholders were re peatedly warned under this head, at the time the conversion scheme was hatching, that the terms of compromise being materially altered from the project of law proposed and voted in the Mexican congress, the transaction coul I scarcely fail to be disavowed when remitted back for ratification ; as now It comes recorded. It was a singular feature of that question able transaction, that from first to last neither did the bond holders, nor, probably, the Spanish-American committee, re quire, nor did the Mexican functionaries offer, th e exhibition of the powers and instructions under which the conversion scheme was authorised, and for carrying out which, it was assumed, those functionaries were, or should have been, specially appointed. These are complications which remain to be explained, and for the purpose of such explanation, which, for their own sakes, the late Mexican officials must be as anxious to offer as the bondholders to receive, it is concluded that a public meeting of all those interested will be sum moned with the least possible delay. The or: qinal powers and instructions under official seal may be then and there appropriately produced, or a certified copy of the same, and then it can be clearly ascertained where lies the blame; whether the two governments of Mexico stand justly chargeable with breach of faith, or the officials with breach of confidence. In the ;meantime the holders of new bonds under the conversion are placed in an anomalous if not in a perilous position. They have parted with the old bonds, which represented a valid claim upon Mexico ; and they have accepted new titles under a deed which is stigmatised as of non avail. The Mexican officials, moreover, have been issuing, and realising in money, a large if not the whole portion of the new bonds which were re served for the state in the re partition of composition values. The amount realised exists no doubt in its integrity, as no payments in advance would be made to, or could be received by, a govern ment which refused to acknowledge the contract. How the amount so realised shall be disposed of will be ano ther question for consideration, but assuredly the official parties who negotiated the conversion will not claim, for they cannot be entitled, to charge large sums of agency and commission, if it shall appear that they exceeded their powers, and acted counter to their instructions. A morning paper, the almost single advocate or defender of the conversion scheme throughout, on a one-sided view assumes with perfect propriety that, " according to all principles of equity, the contract between the late government, and the creditors, having once been made, it would be monstrous for the present rulers of the republic to interfere in it." The chief element is however wanting to constitute the proposition fairly ; for the "contract between the late government and the cre ditors" was not made—but disowned, as the writer could and ought to have been informed. The present rulers of Mexico do but affirm the act of their predecessors in office, and therefore stand blameless in the matter. We shall be curious to see what coure the Spanish-American committee will now take in this affair, and in what disposition they will meet the bondholders. They had warning enough, and more than enough, to open their eyes at the time against mixing themselves up with loan jobbing schemes. RAILWAY NEWS. We had a dull market yesterday in shares and scrips, but without any material alteration in prices, or so depressed an appearance as it presented on Wednesday. The disposition evinced of late to make sale of shares in the old established and most profitable premium-bearing lines, is doubtless referable in great part to the desire of purchasing at present low rates into new lines, which offer the superior advantages of certain assured and liberal returns of interest, besides divisions of profits, under the undoubted guarantee of the most substantial of the old-established companies. Mr. J. F. Maubert, one of the most wealthy and intelligent, as well as cautious, members of the Stock Exchange, and treasurer to the fund for decayed members of that body, has, in a circular address to the committee and subscribers, ex pressed himself strongly in favour of converting a por tion of that fund, now placed in government stock, in the description of guaranteed railway securities adverted to. The condition of perfect solidity, indispensable for the invest ment of trust property, he conceives to be perfectly satisfied in the ease. " I consider," says he, " that they are as secure as any mortgage or ground-rent in the kingdom, possessing the additional advantage that they are transferable ; can be bought and sold without the intervention of law ; and exempt likewise from all anxiety respecting title, &e. The holder of guaranteed shares stands in the position of • landlord, the great companies being his tenants, and these tenants proving to him, from their actual receipts, their ability to pay five times the amount of their rent." There are doubtless many cool calculating men besides Mr. Maubert who judge and act upon the views thus set forth by him. When other wise the means for additional investment may not be pos sessed, such parties would make sale of their shares in the old lines to purchase and pay up calls upon in the new. However apparently inactive one or other share market may appear, there is no question that upon the whole a fair average amount of business is carrying on, and that the better-conditioned scrips are silently being taken off the market,. _ . . __. The course of prices in London on Wednesday caused much anxiety yesterday in the share market here ; but the transactions did not show quite as marked a decline as was at first anticipated. London and North Western stock found buyers at 195; Midlands were no lower; East Lancashire, Ormskirks, and North Staffordshire, only showed a decline of to 4. Still the general feeling was one of despondency. At Manchester prices still continued to droop. The Birmingham market continued flat, as reported in our paper yesterday. There were sales in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, aad Dudley registered scrip, at 17s. fid p., and in North Staffordshire' at the same rate. Shropshire Unions were done at 11s. 3d. and at d. At Leeds the share market presented a more lively appear ance. The business transacted was good in some of the lines at a slight advance. East and West Itidings advanced 7s. 6d.; Ormskirks, 3s. 6d. more ; North British remained firm, and some good sales effected also in North Staffords at 6s. less; New Thinks declined 10s. less; Huddersfield and Manchester 61. 3d., West Ridings 55., Matlock and Buxton 45., and Manchester and Leeds Extensions Is. per share less each. PROVINCIAL.—SHEITIELD, ROTHERHAM.
