Plaintiff sued the defendant, a waiter, for money lent. After some considerable examination by his Honour (defendant not appearing), it was elicited that defendant was now out of employment, was almost destitute, and had entirely lost the use of his hands by a serious illness. Ilia Honour—lt ie, I think, too bad to summon a man afflicted in such a wanner. I will make an order for one shilling per week. If defendant appears at any future time to make an application to me to reduce the amount, I will do so. THE LATE COMMITTAL OF A SOLICITOR. To-morrow a committee of the Common Council, upon the suit of Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, sit to inquire into the state of the Court. It is the general opinion that some personal feeling has been exhibited in the presentation of this petition. Mr. Lewis was, it will be remembered, committed for contempt of court, and his honour being authorised by the Act of Parliament is not called upon to notice the proceedings of the com mittee. The committee sit with closed doors, but from what can be gleaned, they appear to think that his honour was justified. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROI7GH-STREET. THE MURDER IN THE HAYMAREET.--Giovanni Lani, who stands committed on the charge of murdering Heloise Thaubin, of Arundel-court, Haymarket, was brought up this morning by Sergeant Bradgid, and placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, for the purpose of hearing the depositions read over, and for some addi tional evidence to be given. The watch and ring belonging to the deceased having been produced by Inspector Parke, Virginie Sylvestre was called and said—l knew the watch and ring produced ♦ery well. The watch was worn by the deceased on the evening previous. They both belonged to the deceased. Sergeant Huggett, of the City Police Force, said—l accompanied Inepeotor Parke on board the Pride of the Thames, on Saturday, Feb. 27. The prisoner was on board. We went to his berth When the prisoner's box was opened a bag was on the top. I afterwards took the prisoner ashore, as the captain was not on board. The shirt produced was taken out of the prisoner's port manteau, which I had seen in his cabin. Found on the prisoner a receipt. Mr. Leadley (the clerk) —lt is a passage to Monte Video, and is signed Howdea and Co., of Birchin-lane. Hnggett—lt is 80. G. Hill said—The prisoner brought to my employer, Mr. Bryer, of Barbican, gold refiner, the ring and watch produced. I bought them of him on Wednesday the 24th of February. I gave 80s. for the watch and ss. for the ring. I spoke to him in German, but be did not understand me. I first offered 2is. for the watch, and he went away, but afterwards returned, and, then, I gave him 30s. He then offered the ring, which I gave Bs. for. Having read on the Sunday* description of the watch, I came forward and gave information. Philip groan —I am head waiter at ICleir'le Hotel. The prisoner came on the Bth of February. He resided there till the 23d, on which night he slept out. He returned on the Wednesday at 4 o'clock. He came in holding a handkerchief to his face. I said, " What is the matter. He said a cat had scratched his face. I said, " This is net the scratch of a eat, but a human cat." (The prisoner laughed at this portion of the evidence.) The prisoner said, "No," but afterward, nodded assent. He then fetched his portmanteau and left in a cab. The shirt produced I know to be the prisoner's, and the blood stains were on It when he came in. From what I heard I communicated with the police. Mr. Frederick Tothill, of Charles•Etreet, St. James's. square, surgeon, said the stains on the shirt were blood and mucous, similar to that which he had found of examining the body of deceased as having flowed from her mouth and nostrils. After the above •vidonce had been given the depui :ions were read over by Mr. Leadley, the clerk, and Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner whether he had any ;hing to say. The prisoner said he had nothing to remark. He said ;he watch was sold in the evening, and not in the morning. The witneasee then baying been bound over, the pri Boner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. The prisoner, during the time he was in the cell, alai before being brought up, treated the matter very lightly. THAMES. STEALING THE NIIMIEB OE A Housc—Chas. Whaler, aged 22, of No. 9 Turner's-court, St. George in the East, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing the number from the door of a house, No. 22 Christian-street, St. George in the East. John Ball, deputy clerk to Mr. Fairclongh, a town carman, was coming out of his master's yard on Friday morning last, and saw the prisoner in the act of taking the number off the door No. 22 Christian-street. One of the figures had been removed, and he asked the pri soner from it, and he took it from his pocket—a brass No. 2—and then handed it to him, and ran away. Police-constable Deeble, No. 196, stated that the prisoner was tried and found guilty of breaking into a sugar house, and stealing clothes, and was then sen tenced to four months' imprisonment and bard labour. That conviction took place at the Old Bailey six months ago, and since the prisoner had been out of gaol he had been the constant associate of thieves. Mr. Selfe fined the prisoner 10e. for the unlawful pos. session of the number found upon him, and in default of payment 14 days'imprisonment.

Complainant—Twenty-nine, and we ara all without a penny to help ourselves The Lord Mayor said it was a very distressing case, and it was necessary it should be decided for the sake of the passengers. If the defendants would pay the colt ,- of the day he would adjourn the case to allow him to have advice on the point. Another passenger also complained that the defer• dants refused to do anything fur him. Tile defendants had offered him 121. out of the sum he had paid for the passage of himself and child. Mr. Fickling—And you consented to accept it ? Passenger—l did not. Mr. Fickling said they were only agents for the ship. They were not the owners of the ship. The Lord Mayor—But still you are liable. You must proceed against the owners. The complainant said he was returning to Australia, where he had been living in a situation for 20 years. The defendants having paid the expenses of the day, the case was adjourned till to-morrow. The parties then left the court. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENr. (From, the Times.) The uneasiness and apprehension which the pre sent position of the French Government inspires are not likely to be lessened by the series of demands which it seems to be making on foreign states. Ever since the establishment of the Second Empire the press of Belgium and the asylum of Switzerland have been the objects of repeated remonstrances on the part of the French authorities. We know that into so solemn a document as the Treaty of Paris a condemnation of Belgian free speech was introduced, and for some time Switzerland has been forced to require that refugees from France shall reside in Cantons remote from the French frontier. But since the 14th of January the Government at Paris seems to have lost all temper and discretion. What has astonished the world most during the last few weeks is the singular agitation which the attempt of a few Italian outcasts has produced among those who bear sway in France. It is proved beyond a doubt that this crime was the work of four or five desperate fanatics ; that it was unconnected with any French party or faction or secret society, and that no Government or police could be charged with negligence in the matter except those of the Emperor himself. But whether the attempt be the cause, or only the pretext, it is certain that it has been followed by a behaviour towards foreign States which is hardly in accordance with the inter national traditions of Europe. We need not refer at length to what has passed between the French authorities and this country. If any State had a right to be addressed with courtesy and respect by the French Government it was England. In the frequent changes which the French people have thought fit to make in their institutions during the last 30 years, they have always had in England a well-disposed and considerate neighbour. Although we are unable to see the grandeur or the heroism of these revolutions, we have always accepted them, and, by proclaiming the principle of non interference with the internal changes of France, we have led the other Continental Powers to ab. stain from any display of ill-will. One Ambassador has come and another Ambassador has gone, and there has been nothing in their reception by the English Government and people to remind them that they represented two hostile dynasties or two diverse constitutions. We will not urge that shelter has always been afforded to the fallen of all parties, for it is this very asylum once enjoyed by them. selves that the present favourites of fortune wish in their elation to destroy. But it may be said that for five years the two countries have been engaged in the common enterprise of defending and rehabilitating the East, and that their alli anoe and friendship have been loudly proclaimed as necessary to the peace of the world. On our side there has been done nothing inconsistent with the fairness of our old policy, or the good feeling which ought to result from our later alli ance. The English people have paid due tribute to the Emperor's character, and though the prin ciples of his domestic government cannot meet their approbation, they have made every allowance for the situation in which he found his country, and the difficulties which attend his administration. Nowhere, we may add, was the late attempt at assassination more heartily and universally con demned. Yet, without cause, suddenly and violently a flood of vituperation is directed against this coun try. The President of the Senate, the President of the Legislative Body, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Ambassador in London, and the Colonels of Regiments scattered over France unite in addressing England in language which has not been heard since the days when the courtiers of the first Bonaparte dwelt on the speedy destruction of " Carthage" and its empire. That there was any overpowering national indignation against us on account of Orsini's crime—an indignation which the Government da re d no t t o withstan—we cannot believe. The members of the Government were the leaders in all that was done ; M. Troplong's and M. de Morny's addresses gave the note for the Colonels, nor is it consistent with what we know of the French army that its officers should have used such language without having cause to believe that it would be well received in the quarter where advancement and favour are to be sought. We cannot but arrive at the conclusion that the ad visers of the Emperor were either blinded by a fear of the downfall of their power, or that they took advantage of the opportunity to endeavour to ex tort concessions from England, thinking that the glory of the achievement would give them popu larity in the eyes of the French people. It is natu ral for a Government so little studious of constitu tional forms to catch at the favour of the multitude by such expedients, and from the manner in which every transaction was represented in the official journals it is impossible to doubt that, while hold ing in private converse th e l anguage o f mo d erat i on, the French authorities were willing to appear to their own people and to European nations as having extorted from the fears of England a great innova tion on her legal and political system. It is not our part to advise foreign nations as to their conduct at any conjuncture, and therefore we shall express no opinion as to the answers which the continental States in the neighbourhood of France should return to the similar demands which the Emperor's Government seems to persist in making. It is, however, past all doubt that the requisitions of France are beyond what the comity of nations would seem to justify. Belgium and Switzerland have already yielded as far as is possible for States which have a regard for their own independence ; Sardinia has not only brought in a bill against conspiring to kill or dethrone a foreign sovereign, but is making changes in her jury system, apparently lest a liberal jury should by its decision imperil the friendship of the Emperor. But it is with Austria that an in terference of the most novel kind is attempted. The forms of courtesy have certainly not been disre garded, as in the case of England, for the officia. indignation of Paris is sufficiently under restraint to avoid an assault on two first-rate Powers at once. But the demands of the French Emperor's Govern ment on the Cabinet of Vienna go far beyond any thing which has been attempted in our own case. We learn that M. de Bourqueney has actually de manded that the Austrian newspapers shall not be allowed to comment unfavourably on the state of France or the proceedings of the French Govern ment. The recent appointment of Gen. Espina3se to the Ministry of the Interior is an event which naturally caused great surprise in Paris, and could hardly be uninteresting to the gossip-loving Vien nese. A newspaper published some correspondence on the subject, and M. de Bourqueney was in structed to demand the " warning" in the Parisian style of the offending journal. There is certainly of French something most revolting in the spectacle men, after 70 years of continual and the spread boasting about the propagation of theirideas seeking not only of their enlightenment, thus to crush all liberty of speech i and writing at home, but to strangle it inacoutntry where it has just is still weak, timid, and, one would t been born, and wherehiuk, i n offensive. Again, Au s t r i a , much to her credit, has lately relaxed her pas s p ort system. quiet of the Italian Provinces an d th e general The prosperity of the Empire have encour aged the statesmen of Vienna to remove most of the restrictions which our countrymen found so onero us even two years ago. But will it be believed tat the French Government demands the re-esta blishment of the old system in more than all its former severity ? M. de Bourqueney desires that every traveller from the Italian Provinces shall obtain his passport at Milan or Venice instead of from the authorities of the place where he resides. Generally, too, as the organ of the French Govern ment, he demands that the movements of the Italians should be more narrowly watched. Such requirements show how far the present French authorities are disposed to carry their system. They seem to us to be far beyond what one State has a right to demand of another, and we cannot but think that Count Buol has shown a just sense of what is due to his Sovereign's dignity in reject ing them. No one can accuse Austria of harbour ing democrats or of encouraging libellers, and to pretend that any real danger threatens France from the present institutions of her neighbour is more thin the vola t ility Qaaalikind caR Wept. 1401 139; Peas sold readily, at extreme rates.

As the supply of meat in the dead market was not quite so exten- sive as of late, and as the attendance of butchers was on the increase, the beef trade ruled firm, at prices fully equal to last week. The primest Scots sold at quite 4s Gd per •lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,500 Scots and short-horn s ; f rom other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; from Scotland, 340 Scots; and 340 oxen, &c., from Ireland. We were again very scantily supplied with all breeds of sheep. Their condition, however, was good. The mutton trade ruled steady, though not to say brisk, at last Monday's quotations. The primest old Downs realised 54 2d per Sibs. About 500 shorn sheep were in the market, and they changed hands at from 6d to 8d per 81bs beneath those in the wool. The few lambs on sale produced about 6s 6d per 81ba. Calves were in short supply and moderate request, at last week's prices.

Ellis and Fickling, ship-brokers, were sum moned under the list section of the Passenger Act, to show cause why they should not return the sum of 1201. to an emigrant named Pierce, paid for passage-money to Australia for himself, wife, and child, and also suste nance money since their arrival in this country. Mr. J. P. Doyle (barrister) appeared for the com plainants ; the defendants were unrepresented by any legal gentleman. It appeared from the learned gentleman's statement that in August last the complainant took a passage for himself, wife, and family by the Windsor for Australia, for which he paid the defendants as agents the sum of 1201. The ship left the port of London about the Ist or 2d Nov. and proceeded prosperously on her voyage till off the Cape de Verde Islands, where in broad day she went ashore. The passengers with difficulty escaped with their lives, losing every particle of their luggage and money. The British Consul sent the passengers back to Southampton, from whence they came to London in January last, and applied to the defendants for another ship, which was refused ; they then demanded the return of the passage mosey and sustenance money, both of which had been refused, and they had summoned these defendants in consequence, under the 51 see, of the above not. The passengers were now destitute. Mr. Goodman (Chief Clerk) asked the defendants if they would state their defence to the summons. Mr. Pickling said the vessel was surveyed by the emigration agent, who certified she was not an emigra tion ship under the provision of the Act. Mr. Goodman then read to them the whole of the 17,820 02 to section relative to what constitu ted, and what did not 543 51s 32 constitute, em i gra tion ship, and asked them to con 1.e38 eider whether they bad in an y way infringed the clause. 89,025 I The Lord Mayor said it was an important question, 481 93.733 and suggested the adjournment of the case to give them 565 62 an opportunity of consulting a legal gentleman.

Knight of the Shire was declared not to start at 2.30 p.m. Conrad ran away in front, his immediate followers being Harry Lorrequer and Xanthus, the others running in pretty close order, but shifting and changiag place s continually as they made for Valentine's Brook. The first mishap occurred to Abd-el.Kader, who fell soon after starting, and Claudius and Glenamour shortly after wards refused, and were out of the race. The field was still further diminished by the falling of Escape, Joe Graham, and Moire Antique. Little Tom got his foot into a grip, and came down, although young Land was soon up and at work again. As they progressed along the Canal side, Harry Lorrequer alio wcd in advaalos, but was soon repassed by Conrad, who went on with a strong lead to the artificial brook, and was followed pleat ( the Stand by Little Charley, Xanthus, Harry Lorrequer, Weathercock, Lough Barrn,Treachery, Morgan Rattler, and Black Bess, nearly in the order named. Little Tons again came to grief at the above brook, near the Stand, and was soon afterwards pulled up.

At the Canal turn liarry Lorrequer was numbered with the fallen, and Lougk Bawn about the same time dropped away beaten.

On Tuesday, however, I shall be enabl Ito give my notions on things past, present, and to com , in ull. Jack Frost will sorely disappoint those persons • calculated on a great meeting at Doncaster, for he must have confined many of the youngsters that were a few weeks ago in active preparation for the Hopeful Stakes to their straw beds. Still a large number of two•year. olds are likely to go to the post for that event, and Mr. Parr may be more successful with Stockharn this year than he was with Peregrine last. Toe certainty of a start only would be sufficient to ;ndnce me to trust the two light weighte—Wourerman'e tnd tlanarooner for the Haniicap.
