It wee not the prisoner. He was &bold 14 or yearg « age. He was a • smart. deed "Goy. I required a reference. and he told me that Joseph Dwyer was the penoa who wanted the stable. Whoa I pve cep the key the hole was not dug io It. am perfectly tore it was all paved when I let it. I had only pt the lack changed that day. I saw the stable on Thurs. day eight eller I was told what had occurred time. It was then in a difffrettt state, the bole being dug in it. Thu boy came they times to sae before I gave lira the key, u I wanted • reference. I pre him the key on Saturday Mr. t ulna Saul—ln this ease I am here, I may my, for the distressed numbing of the prisoner's family, who are highly respectable persons living in this neighbourhood. The defence that I intend to make I shall reserve for the proper quarter. and that is a defeace which, if well founded, is a good def. uce. It is the defence of insanity, and I shall, when the time conies, if I am properly instrweted now, sad I be lieve I am, be able to prove by unquestionable evidence that this boy bas been for upwards of twelve months of WI. sound mind ; and, indeed, sir, if you look to all the circum stances of this extraordinary case, 1 think it will occur to your mind, or to the mind of any man, that the person who was guilty of the act was of unsound mind. If you look to the size of the shot, the purchase of the pistol, and the other thinp, all round where he was well known, the hiring of the stable pear where he lived, and all for the sake of a paltry 8/. 1G.., or rather goods to that amount, but not worth half that sum to him—all these facts tell strongly in favour of the defence I have mentioned. and which I think I shall be able to prove satisfactorily. The moment he knew where his sou was— ter he sent to his family for relief—his father communicated the fact to the police. That speaks volumes for his dis tressed family, for whom every one must feel. With these few observations I shall reserve anything further I have to my in his favour until be appears to take his trial. Stronge—l shall not make am observation in reply to what has been stated by counsel for the prisoner. My duty is a very simple one, and that is to commit him for trial before the judges who shall sit at the next commission. The prisoner was then takee out of court. When he was about being removed from the dock some members of his family, who appeared to be deeply distressed, approached him, and at sight of them he manifested considerable emotion. THE CASE OF MR. BARBER. In a pamphlet just publishtsl, a itatement is given of the expenses attending the procaedisp takes foe effecting the reinstatement of Mr. Barber, the solicitor, whose t;ial and erroneous conviction on so unfounded en minal charge are among the most prominent of the moon of Wars of the present century. Accompanying the state ment is a short summary of the legal obstacles interposed and overcome. To effect the complete clearance of Mr. Timber's character, the report says : " He was called on to show that he was not an accom plice of the really guilty persons in regard to the matters elated in the indictment on which he was convicted; :tad, in the indictment on which he was acquitted ; 3rd sod Ith, in two indictments not tried. Among the to be satisfied was Sir William Erie, who had judges leading counsel for the prosecution. An inves tigation ensued which was protracted over a period of seven years. The proceedings embraced four distiect appli• cations to the courts of law, on which eight counsel were at different times employed on Mr. Barber's behalf. In all 140 affidavits were filed. One reference to the Master extended over twelve months. The copies of documents covered many thousand brief Aosta. In Michaelmas Term, 1455, the full Court of Queens Bench (including Sir William Erie) gave its unanimous judgment in favour of Mr. Barber, and ordered his certificate to be issued forthwith. After three years' ariluoue efforts to get the care considered by parliament, with a view to some substantial compensation for the wrongs and losses which Mr. Barber bad sustained, a select committee of the house, having takes evidence, reported, on the 7th July, 185 K, that Mr. Barber bad strong claims on the favourable consideration of the crown. At this date the struggle had lasted eleven years ; printed copies of the documents comprising the evi ' deuce, and of pamphlets illustrating the case, had been furnished to the members of both Houses of Parlia , meet —hi fact, to almost every person of consideration in the kingdom ; upwards of ten thousand copies of various documents were gratuitously distributed. The total costs incurred dung this lengtimoed period, on Mr. Barber's behalf, exceeded 3,7001. This was irrespective of the heavy casts of his defence on the criminal trials, Unmoor tin of the sacrifice of his personal property and book debts in the wreck which followed his conviction Ina spective of the loss during foulest years of his profeinirmal income, proved before the Commons' committee to bays previously averaged 1,0001. per annum. The hare reit. bursement d many losses (to say nothieg of marbly for which Mr. Barber disclaimed any dean to ask com penestion) would hardly have been covered by a vote of 20,0001. This war the monetary consequence of an erro neous prosecution, not at the instance of one subject against another. but specially directed by the Lords of her Ma ni:SiTreasury, in regard to public moneys, th e par of the nation. The government proposed a grant of , .• but so much debt had in the course of years sc• cumulated, that it became manifest the clear surplus for Mr. Barber's benefit would hardly exceed 1,0001. Under the pressure of these debts, and an anxious desire to die. charge them, the 5,0001. was received, but withorl:E acknowledgment, or intention of its being acknow le dged, ass • settlement of Mr. Barbers claims on the crown ; a memorial respectfully staying the facia, and drawing attention to the maufficieon of the sum, was previously ad dressed to the Lords of the Treasury. " la the accounts of the government for the year 1859 is an item of 13,0001, paid to a Mr. Hempen for the damages sad costs incurred by him in consequence of an erroneous prosecution by the government. In the new Probate Act the government made provision for any loss of income that might be thereaftersustained by the proctors, by settling munition upon them calculated at the rate of medial/ their previous annual profits. Mr. Barber, through the erremsoes presiecution, lost the whole of his income ; but if sated io the same way as the proctors, he would now to receive from the government a further payment of 10,1101., besides an annuity during the remainder of life of BOW. per annum. All, however, that he asks is the pay out of his meta." DNAKfROUti Fru lii LINCOLIOS-11f2C-FIZLDS.- Lani night, shortly Wen Y o'clock, a fire, attended with a serious lose of property, happened on the exterleivi par mimes belonging to Merry Clark and Co., panellises and manufacturers of the new patent combined iron and wood revolving shutters, situate at N 0.15, Gateetreet, Unwires inn-fields.

A correspondent of Saunders' News Letter, writing from Parson►town, Saturday night, mays "An impressive instance of the uncertainty of busmen life occurred here this day, under circumstances peculiarly striking, and suggestive of aerials and solemn reflections. The funeral of the Superiorees of the Convent of the Sisters of Mercy took place ut this town this day at noon, her place of sepulture bens within the walla of the convent. After the religious ceremonies bad been concluded, and the grave enclosed, the persons attest& iris the obloquies were separating. One of them, James Butler, Esq., District Inspector of National Schools, who has been for many years resident here in that capacity, who had just entered one of the corridors of the bui lding, when conversing with a brother of the deceased lady. suddenly fell down on his face as if in a fit. Immediate medical aid was procured, but life was extinct in a few minutes. He never spoke, and had ceased to breathe within that short period. This very sudden summons, upon so solemn an occasion, has created • deep sensation amongst the people of the town and neighbourhood. A coroner's inquiet was held on the body immediately after the lamentable event. The medical evidence was to the effect that the cauae of death was disesae of the brain, and the jury returned • verdict in accordance therewith. The deceased was unmarried.

' Kate Intelligenct. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—,,lax. 2. (Bet ore Mr. Comativiionsr Nichols.) IN 111 iIIiAILAJI This insolvent. whose case had been before the court in the September sittings, and reported, appeared for adjudi cation. He wee opposed on the part of a Mrs. Fiske, on the ground that he bad received a sum of money in discharge of some hills of exchange and had not paid it over. It was intimated to him that an adverse judgment would be pro nounced. The case stood over to insert a plaoe of address in Northumberland-street, Wand. He had formerly been aspeculator in "time bargains," and his &hie were about 0M- Mr. eargood now appeared to oppose on the part of Lord Charles Clinton. ou the ground of fraud in reference to • sera el 500 f. paid by his lordship to the insolvent, who made the following statement on the schedule :—" The amount given by this creditor to me to aid in negotiating certain bills of exchange to be drawn by Lord Thomas Clin ton and accepted by this creditor. The amount received by me was to be for commission, but owing to the state of affairs of both parties the matter was never carried out." It was elicited from the insolvent on his examination that he was entrusted with two bills by Lord Thomas and Lord Charles Clinton for 5,0001. each to get discounted, and re inked at the time 500/. as his commission. He denied that he had received the money to put into his banker's to increase his balance. He believed there was some understanding that he was to return the 500/. if be did not succeed in getting the bills discounted. He tried to get them dis counted but could not, and returned them in a few days. Hs did not return the 5001., and he considered he was en titled to it, because a "deception" had been practised on him. The deception was that Lord Charles and Lord Thomas Clinton were men of considerable property, and wished to raise money on their bills u men without debt or lacumbrance, but he discovered that they were much in voked. He placed the money into the hands of Messrs. smith, stockbrokers, and 2501. went in • speculation he had in Consols. He received the remainder, 250/., and had spent it. Mr. Sargood proceeded to examine the insolvent as to some bill transaction with x Mr. Gottheimer. . Nr. large Lewis , the insolve nt'. attorney, objected, u the insolvent might criminate himself. Mr. tAiminisaioner Nichols held that the insolvent was broad to answer the question, as the party might be a creditor. iiepPelued from the insolvent's statement that Mr. Gottheimer lent him, or as he mid, "let him have," WO/. to lon a lanker's account to facilitate the discount of bills. He did not open au account, but returned the bills he had received of Mr. Gottheimer. He did not return the money. Mr. Gottheimer made an affidavit of debt in London, and followed him to Brussels, where he (insolvent) had resided for years. At Brussels Mr. Gottheimer proceeded against him in the criminal court, and he was acquitted. The clues. tlon was mooted by Mr.lllsrby, the attorney, who had lately died, acid it war not thought alvis►ble to mart Mr. Gott heimer in the schedule as a creditor. Mr. Commissioner Nichols thought it was a mistake to on.it a person because there had been criminal proceedings. In this case the insolvent had been acquitted, and the mere fact of criminal proceedings did not extinguish • debt. Mr. Sargood submitted that he had established, on the part of Lord Charles Clinton, a case of fraud or a breach of treat against the insolvent. It was admitted that the money ti to he returned if the bills were not discounted, and the excuse that the parties who sought his aid were involv ed was a mere pretence. The learned counsel said the on of Mrs. Fiske, for whom he opposed, remained, and the court had intimated a heavy judgment. The insolvent wished to go into the case of Mrs. Fiske, but was told by the court that it could not be re The insolvent, in answer to the complaint, said he formerly been a person of ample means, and had discounted. He was introduced by a person who knew him in former days to discount bills for Lord Thomas and Lord Charles Clinton, and but for the reason he had mentioned, of their revolved, he should have been able to do so. He that he was entitled to his commission if be could get it, and bad ant returned the money. Mr. Oommiselotter Nichols said, before be could adjudi ado upon the one, Mr. Gottbeinier must be inserted, and served as a creditor. The insolvent had stated that he had made an affidavit, and the fact of having taken criminal proceedings did not extinguish his rights as a creditor. He should suggest that the insolvent should produce one of the firm of Messrs. Smith, to show the deposit of the 5001. received from Lord Chalice Clinton, sad tha sum repaid to the insolvent. Mr. George Lewis asked that the other aide might pro duce Messrs. Smith. He had only taken up the case on ac count of the death of Mr. Ellarby, haying known the insol vent some time, and he was totally without means. The sue was adjourned to the 6th of Febniary, with the understanding that the opposition would produce one of the firm of Messrs. Smith. Prisoner mid hacausa Ls wore a smock frock Le was taken for somebody eke. Mr. Headon committed him for fourteen days. He had been told to leave Mr. Mason',, house, and when a con stable wu sent for to remove him he thought proper to kick him. THA IPrcdero . k Buckingham. a )oung man, waa charged with being in the unlawful possession of some dental sperimenq, valued at 21., the property of Mr. Alfred Ellis Hams, sur geon-dentist and copper, of No. 31, Assembly-row, Mile-eod road. Mr. Harris, the pmsecutor, said that on the afternoon of Friday last, between the hours of four and five o'clock, a show case containing 200 mineral teeth, artificial gams and other dental apecimens, worth 50f., was stolen from his door. There were upwards of 50 different specimens in the case, and they were all taken away. The prisoner, in defence, said be picked up the arti fi cial teeth in his employer' yar d,: in which be was confirmed by Burton and Garroway's foreman, who said—l saw the teeth lying in my employers' yard. I said to the prisoner, " Fred, some one has dropped his teeth," and he went and picked them up. These on your worship's desk are the same. Mr. Yardley—How long has the prisoner been employed there 2_ The Foreman—For 3; years, sir, and he is a young man of very good character. Mr. Yardley—ls there say reason to doubt the respecta- Mike and gond character of this young man? Lloyd—None, whatever, sir. I believe his statement to be trim Mr. Yardley—He is discharged. Give up the dental specimens to Mr. Harris, to whom they undoubtedly belong. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY OP CANADA. After the conclusion of our report yesterday, Mr. HARTRIDI.3 said be wished to ask Mr. Ross, of the Canadian board, whether the board had the power of issuing bonds to an unlimited amount, as a statement of that kind bad been made? Mr. Ross replied th►t, whatever might be the legal con struction'of the act of the object and intention of it was that the power of issuing hoods should be limited by the first lien of the Canadian government ; but if the legal construction of the act authorised the issue of more pre ference capital, it should have the concurrence of two-thirds of the shareholders before it could be issued. A SHAREHOLDER—That is no answer. Mr. Ross said it was the true answer, and the only one he could give. Adverting to the remarks of a previous speaker, he defied anyone to prove that the Grand Trunk Railway had been worked to serve the interest+ of poli tici►ns. Charges of jobbery and peculation were easily made by disappointed servants and others, but a committee was now to be appointed, and if any specific charges could be made, let them be examined by that committee. Mr. Hart ridge's motion for the appointment of a com mittee having been adopted, the following persons were chosen to constitute the committee :—Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Newmarch, Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Evans, of Manchester, Mr. Arnold, of Liverpool, Mr. W. Smith, and Mr. Hart ridge the last as the representative of the second preference boodholders. lir. Burnt proposed the following resolution :—" Th►t it be referred to the committee to consider a scheme which was proposed for equipping the line with plant and rolling dock, and for extricating the company from its present financial difficulties, and to report their opinion on this or any amended or substituted scheme which might be recom mended." After some discussion the resolution was adopted. Mr. POWILL then proposed ► resolution, to the effect that it was irregular and illegal, on the part of the Canadian direc tors, to give effect to the agreement which had been made with the Great Western Company,on the ground that it had not received the assent of two-thirds of the shareholders in Canada—that from the want, of such assent it was impera tive that the cement of the shareholders in England be withdrawn. A Sukarno:um proposed as an amendment that this matter be referred to the ourtunittee, which amendment was carried. . _ . The ell LIMA N mid that he had beard much during the meeting from which be dissented, but he took it that it was the duty of the board to consider any plan which might be proposed for the benefit of the share holder at large. With to the judgment creditors, they acted, as the report insured in the interests of ail. (Hear, beer.) He sup posed that Mr. Glyn and Mr. Baring would be glad to have security for what was due to them, but they took this step for the benefit of the company. (Hear, hear.) He could not separate the interest of one elms from another in this undertaking, and he believed their best policy would be to act together for the interests of the company. Mr. Barra—Subject to our legal right.. The CHAUMAS —Of course subject to legal rights. With regard to the alleged unlimited ,power of the board to issue preference bonds, he believed that the fair and true construction was that they were limited b the amount of the first lien , and that was the view on which they acted. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the advocate of the mooed preference bondholders, he must observe that he was riot happy in the choice of his ex • , but persons who felt that they were injured hW a right to use strong language. The representations that were put forward at the time referred to, they believed to be true. It appeared that they were mistaken in their calculations but It wm one thing to be mistaken in a calculation and another thing to have an intention to deceive. He believed that Mr. Roes and Mr. Blackwell had acted to the bent of their ability for the interests of the company, and if he had any fault to find with Mr. Blackwell it was that he had overworked himself. (Hear, hear.) They all wished to see the company placed on a firm footing. He would not de. Bide whether the Canadian government were bound on moral ousideratioits to assist them or not ; but if they consulted the interests of Canada be would say that tbej must put this company in such a position that it must be able to move. (Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. CIARTORD, M.P., a vote of thanks was pared to the chairman, which brought the meeting to a ekes at five o'clock. TN RE JOHN TROYER SANDER This insolvent, who was before the court on e former day, wee now discharged. Mr. Peverley applied that his balance of law costa of 91. 18e. for bringing the cam before the court might be allowed. The court ordered 91. to be paid to Mr. Peverley, the insolvent's attorney.

The pawnbroker detained him until • constable came, when he gave him into custody. The gun was identified by the prosecutor's servant, and in defence the primer said that the gun was given to hint by • gentleman to pledge.

MANSION-HOUSE A well•dtened plan maned Amse EfAields, sou brought beforith• Lead Myr Ge re-examination, upon the charge of cerrying on • velem of office robbing. The facts IPIIre given fully upon the Ent szaminsiiim of the prisoner. She u what is termed an " office essak," L ug about to the different city establishments . r.Yi nre tit as offices, and, where nu one happens to be ia at the time, laying her hands upon anything within her reach. It wee preyed that the prisoner had stolen a coat from the sins Of • gentleman named Lynch, in Ormechumb-street, ask _no doubt believing that she was suspected, she eon the coat under a door mat. Under another mat in themes building there were found twenty keys, calculated to ipso almost any lock, and there was every mew to be llow that thus keys had been placed there by the primmer. Anthony Monger, a very useful officer belonging to the City detective police, stated that from the inquiries he bad made respecting the prisoner, he had reason to believe that she bed been carrying on a most extensive system of plunder of this description, and he was prepared with evidence to establish two other mess against her. Hers charge' were gone into, and it was proved that a Yes-piece that had been stolen from a gentleman named Avtli,, has of at No. 1, Lime-street...game, had been y the prisoner and a carpet beg that bad been stain from another office was found at her lodging. The Lord Mayor gave the prisoner the usual caution, and Asa inquired whether she washed to make any some to either of the charger preferred against her? She replied that she had nothing to any. The prisoner was then committed for trial. Caariotte Allison ' • reapectable•looking woman, appa rently between 30 and 40 years old, appeared to answer a sanuncom which charged her with unlawfully annoying • pneson named Joseph Thompson, at his place of bonne... There was a cram summons by which Mrs. Allison charged the complainant with having assaulted her. Mr. Mason solicitor of Furnival's•inn. appeared for Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of Mrs. AMison. At the outset of the proceedings a suggestion was made that, inasmuch as the matter in dispute wen not at all of a public character, it would be much better that the parties should arrange it among themselves. Mr. Humphreys es premed his willingness to adopt this course, but Mr. Mason, on the part of his client, declined to sanction such a pro ceeding. The cue was then partially gone into, and it a that Mn. Allmon had lived with Mr. Thompson's= for some years as his wife ; but they had separated, and aux.e the separation she bad been in the habit of going to the office where Mr. Thompson is employed, in Lower Thamesetniet, and also to his private resi dence at Bow, inquiring for "her husband" as she called his brother. On the day named in the summons it appeared that she had followed the complainant to the milway.station in Fen. church.street, and gave him in charge, at first for murder, and subsequently for an assault. The Lord Mayor, during the hearing of the case, several times @amend au opinion that it would be much better f: r e nz tbo t Zanies to come im some terms, and ate and it was that both the summonses should over for a MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Cemge Carter, a tailsi;tidi fellow, iiavi;i only one arm, and wearing • smock frock, was charged before Mr. Beadon with assaulting Mr. Thorma Mason, 221, Piccadilly, hotel keeper, and also with assaulting Luke Je ff rey, 49 C. Mr. Mason maid that about eleven the previous night the prisoner, who had been drinking, came into his house He ordered bun out, and he left, but immediately came in at another door. He again ordered him out, when the prisoner put himself intoa threatening attitude, became very abusive, tore his clothes, and kicked violently, wring at the same time very bad language. Jeffrey,, 49 C, said he wee called to the prmecutor's house to take prisoner into custody. He came out of the house q uietly, but in the Circus, on the way to the station, he pee him a severe kick on the leg. Inspector Bowles, C division, mid he knew the prisoner m one of a number similarly dreseed who went into the public-houses of a night begging. THE WEATHER. The frost has returned to the metropolis with considerable intensity. Before midnight on Tuesday the wind changeti from the south-west to the northern point of the compass, when the thermometer fell rapidly, until it had descended two degrees below the freezMg register. The result was that the streets were by midnight perfectly dryand every puddle frozen. At sunrise the sky was quite clear, the atmosphere exceedingly bracing, and the wind keen and brisk. Nor did any change take place during the day, with the exception of the appearance, at intervals, of • few fleecy clouts, the barometer continuing meanwhile to rise towards "fair," and the thermometer never sinking below the line marked "freezing," even where fully exposed to the sun. Mr. Bokeohare, the Controller of the Circulation Department of the Poet-office, issued in the course of the morning • notice to the effect that the bags for the follow ing post towns had not arrived when the morning mails out war and the town letters, were sent out for delivery, viz., Btowinerket, Needham Market, Grantham, Port Glasgow, I Greenock, Paisley, Hereford, Leominster, Ludlow, Rhays. der, Tenbury, and Kinpton. The whole of the low lands for many miles in the midhnd and south-eastern counties— the mail guards reported —were under water, and to an ex tent not witnessed for many years past. Large numbers of persons visited the various parka yes terday for the purpose of skating. The ice on the Serwn. tine, however, had been rendered so dangerous by the thaw of Sunday and Monday, that the officers of the Royal Humane Society endeavoured to prevent persons from yen tering upon it. They were generally successful in this. though in spite of them some few people were bold enough to run the risk, being in some caeca rewarded by falls and broken heads. The ice on the ornamental water in St. Jamee'Park and on the Long Water in Kensington Gardens, was in a much better condition, and some thousands of persons enjoyed themselves upon it during the day, DO serious accident occurring. The ice in the Regent's Park was dangerous, and the public were not allowed upon it. Last night the frost was very severe. STORY •ND WRECKS AT DVS/BA R. —Between Saturda night and Sunday morning a severe gale com menced-to blow from E.N.E., accompanied with a heavy storm of snow and sleet. The intensity of the gale was at its height at about one o'clock a.m. In the morning four vowels were driven ashore, but fortunately no lives are lost. The schooner Francis of Kirkwall, from Newcastle to Burnt island, with coal, was driven ashore at Tyne Sands; the other throe about two miles to the east of Dunbar. They are the John Wright (schooner). of Hull, from Leven to London, with potatoes; the Sea Gull (schooner), of Grange mouth, from Berwick to London, with barley ; and the Orient (brig), of Montrose, in ballast. As the ships have all come on the strand at top stream-tide, and the weather very coarse, it is doubtful if any of them will be got off. The road@ to the south and west of Dunbar have been drifted up with the snow, and are now (Monday) impassable for carriage or horse traffic.—Scotiman.
